Chapter 120: Restless
The two of them stood under the chaotic and swaying tree shadows, silently looking at each other, like a confrontation before a battle. But his side seemed to have no strength to resist. An inexplicable panic gripped his neck… making it difficult to breathe. He was afraid she would misunderstand, so much so that he didn’t dare to look at her directly.
“Let’s go back. It’s very late…”
She was standing in a very deep shadow, and the smile on her lips seemed to have fallen, leaving only her stiff features on her face. She looked down at him silently and suddenly shook the groceries in her hand, her tone finally showing a little fluctuation. “I bought your favorite…”
“Okay… let’s go back now. I was just helping a friend in the shop find her cat. I’m a little late. I didn’t expect you to come…”
Su Yu swallowed the thick saliva in his throat. He forced a smile on his stiff lips and turned to greet the girl who was holding the cat behind him. “Keke, I’m leaving now. This is my girlfriend. I’ll introduce you to each other another day.”
“Oh, okay. Goodbye…”
Lin Keke stood at the entrance of the shop with the cat in her arms and waved at them. A car with its headlights on sped past, instantly breaking through the darkness under the tree shadows. She squinted her eyes and saw the woman in the shadows clearly. As Su Yu had told her, she was very beautiful… even beyond her imagination. The other party nodded at her and left with Su Yu.
But… she frowned and recalled the gloomy and indifferent expression on the other party’s face. She didn’t seem to be very easy to get along with.
…
The bus stop was not far away, but he didn’t know if the last bus had already passed. Actually, it would be more convenient to take a taxi back so late. But Xia Qiange hadn’t said much on the way. Her expression, which was neither happy nor sad, made him feel lost and unable to find his way. All he could hear was the rustling of the leaves in the cold wind.
Her clothes were a little thin to withstand the cold of the night. Su Yu took off his coat and put it on Xia Qiange’s shoulders. He breathed a warm breath in her ear. “It’s cold. Why did you come out wearing so little? Your health is not good.”
“How old is she? Why haven’t I heard you mention her before?”
“She’s a freshman in college. She’s the manager’s niece. She’s here to help during the holidays. She can’t do it for many days. It’s not that I don’t want to tell you… I just don’t want you to think too much.”
He finally heard Xia Qiange’s voice, and he let out a sigh of relief. The many reasons he had been thinking of all the way were crossed out from his mind. They were equal lovers, and they should not defile their purity with the filth of lies.
“Is that what you think of me?”
Xia Qiange suddenly stopped. She turned her head and looked at him, her full lips pursed, looking a little aggrieved. Her dark pupils were swaying, and a faint smile was playing in her eyes. Her smile was both hypocritical and real, like an illusion on the edge of a cliff. The next step would be to step into the abyss. “Of course I believe you.”
He was instantly defeated by the smile on her lips. The emotion that was about to fall to the bottom of the valley was suddenly pulled back. He was afraid that a crack would appear in their relationship. There was still more than half a lifetime left between them, but he couldn’t tolerate a single grain of sand.
“Ah Yu, I don’t want us to be like this forever. Being on tenterhooks is not what I want.” Xia Qiange reached out and held his wrist, her fingertips rubbing against his pulse. The beating of his life was in her hands. She spoke very slowly, each word drawn out, pulling out a transparent thread that tightened around his neck, suffocating him. “Have you ever thought about it? Our… future.”
“Of course we have a future!”
Su Yu suddenly became agitated. He grabbed Xia Qiange’s other wrist and held it in his palm, afraid that she would leave because of disappointment. But he couldn’t find enough words to convince her.
He remembered the wedding ring in the counter again. The translucent and sparkling diamond and the gold and silver reflected each other, and a dreamlike picture was spread out in front of him. He was seduced by the amazing beauty inside, a beauty that made his heart yearn.
It should all belong to him, he thought greedily.
“We… we…”
Before he could give an answer, he was imprisoned by the softness that rushed into his mouth. His words, his thoughts, his everything… were all locked in a cage she had built. He had a key, but he had put it in his mouth and swallowed it.
She rubbed the bright red lipstick on her lips onto every conspicuous corner of his body—the corners of his mouth, his cheeks, his neck… She lightly bit the side of his neck, a stinging sensation, leaving a dazzling red lip print. She seemed still a little unhappy, childishly wanting to punish him. But a little pain, at certain times, only made his desire grow stronger.
Su Yu held the restless body in his arms a little forcefully and pulled her into a dead corner. The dark night immediately covered their hot and restless bodies. The cold wind couldn’t extinguish the rolling flames in his heart. A few cars drove past in the distance, and the conspicuous headlights in the night swept over the darkness, almost exposing their almost-unprotected, bold actions.
He could vaguely hear voices in his ear, as if someone were about to pass by in the next second. The record had greatly reduced the constraints of morality. They couldn’t see the expression on each other’s faces. He only knew that she was pushing his arm, motionless, as if she had given up struggling, and she had lowered her head.
The moment they sank into darkness, Xia Qiange suppressed the smile on her lips.
She remembered the lovely face of the girl in the milk tea shop, and a violent factor boiled within her.
Her five fingers clenched, venting as she ran them through his soft, dark hair.
Her property!
She lowered her gaze, looking at his long, straight legs. His strong waist and arms were wrapped tightly around her, inseparable. The heat pressed against her waist burned her. Her legs involuntarily clamped together. She bit her tongue to suppress the moan in her throat…
“You’re hurting me!”
Her voice was as soft as a vine that could wrap around his body. He could feel her youthful resistance. Her fair hand was placed lightly on his chest, as if she were about to steal his heart.
“I’m… I’m sorry.”
Su Yu suddenly realized his blunder. He cursed his own sin. He didn’t know why it had to be today. He was as if he were in a hurry to prove something… with this dirty means. The lust faded, and he was deeply remorseful.
A sliver of moonlight broke through the blockade and seeped into the dark and black path, and it fell on them. In a moment of surprise, the two of them suddenly separated. He subconsciously licked his wet lips, and the sweet and fragrant scent quickly retreated. He saw her eyes were slightly red in the moonlight, and there was a lingering wave of passion.
Su Yu was breathing in the cold wind to freeze himself, and he was suppressing some restless desires.
For a brief moment, he saw her stick out her pink tongue and lick her sharp canine teeth with a lingering desire, like a prelude to a feline animal preying on its prey. It was so abrupt that it was like an illusion…
The girl’s next words interrupted his thoughts. He could feel her warm and fragrant breath on his neck. He became more and more nervous…
“Um… I didn’t bring my ID.”
