Chapter 121 p1: Sinking
The light on the screen in the darkness flickered, and the deep black end credits filled the screen, swallowing the hazy and blurry light. The cliché plot came to an end as expected.
Feeling the even and warm breath on the side of his neck, Su Yu turned his head. A bright color suddenly appeared in a hazy and chaotic halo, like a bright and colorful block that had suddenly been added to an old black and white movie.
He picked up a coat from the side of the sofa and put it behind Xia Qiange’s back. The slight movement suddenly woke the other party up. The two of them looked at each other in the not-so-clear darkness, their focus off. Her dark pupils were dilated, and a deep fatigue was like a pool of spring water that could not be melted.
“Tired?”
“Yeah, a little.”
Xia Qiange propped herself up and sat up with some difficulty, as if she couldn’t bear this frail and thin body. She curled her lips and smiled, and the bright red color was even more vibrant, but it couldn’t dispel the gloom between her eyebrows.
“Why are you always so tired?”
It was late at night, almost midnight. Xia Qiange’s face was still heavily made up. A red halo was on the shoulder of her pure white shirt, and the bright red lipstick had seeped into the fabric. She looked charming and moving, but she was also filled with an unhealthy and vulgar look, as if she had rolled in a pile of powder a few times, and she had suddenly changed into a different person.
“I’m fine. I didn’t take a nap. Didn’t I still accompany you today?”
Xia Qiange lowered her slender and thick eyelashes, and she was very good at avoiding the leakage of her inner emotions. She had also set up a layer of an unclear barrier between the two of them. She was drawing a clear line with everyone, but he shouldn’t have been on the other side.
“Your makeup is getting heavier and heavier. Are you not lying to me?”
Su Yu reached out and caressed her cheek. The warm and soft touch jumped into his nerves, and a layer of white powder was on his fingertips. The vulgar lipstick was on her lips like chili oil. He suddenly sat up straight, his expression unprecedentedly serious. “You should get some rest. Tomorrow is the weekend. You have to take care of your body.”
“I said, I’m fine.”
“The hot water is ready. Take a shower, and then get some rest early.”
Xia Qiange and Su Yu looked at each other. She stared at the seriousness in his eyes, and the eyebrows and eyes that were furrowed for her. A cold heart was as if it had been held in his palm and was warmed. She thought that a hunter who had fallen in love with his prey was not qualified. After a long time… she had been defeated.
She ruffled her hair with some annoyance. For several years of lonely waiting, what else could she do besides relying on work to escape her longing?
But she always felt that it was not enough. Why did he have to go out to work? Why did he have to know so many dispensable friends? Why couldn’t he stay in her world forever and not go anywhere…
It was the greedy possessiveness that was at work. She loved him so much that she couldn’t bear to have a single flaw in their relationship.
“Okay, I’ll listen to you. I’ll go to bed early today.”
She smiled and suddenly leaned over. The two of them were very close, and their noses were touching. Their breaths were short and were hitting each other, and the temperature was rising rapidly. It was so hot that it was as if it would burn their skin.
…
Su Yu woke up in the warm yellow bath light. His head was drowsy, as if he had been in a hot bath for too long. His bones were also soft, and his muscles were relaxed and he couldn’t use any strength. He suppressed the light and raised his sore eyelids. His hand, which was on the wall, suddenly slipped, and his whole body sank and he choked on a few mouthfuls of water. Only then did he realize that he was really curled up in the bathtub and couldn’t get up.
He scooped up a handful of water and poured it on his head, extinguishing the spark of desire that was in her heart.
He looked down, and he was suddenly listless, as if his soul had been taken away. Actually, he had hidden some unbearable past events. That was a bloody fact, like a sin that was branded on the side of his face and could not be wiped away.
How could he find a reason to tear apart his lies, or to continue the lies? Why did the world of feelings have to make the only one the most important bargaining chip? How could her generous and universal love tolerate such a sin?
He sank again, and the water level rose, and it drowned his nose. It was as if he would drown in the next second.
…
The door was ajar, and a small crack was exposed. Su Yu widened the gap, and the dark bedroom swallowed the light. It was so dark that he couldn’t see his hand in front of his face. He walked in barefoot and subconsciously held his breath.
The strange sound of his heart pounding in his chest was echoing in his ears. He approached quietly, and in the darkness, he vaguely saw a thin and slender black shadow. It was lying on its side, as if it were fast asleep.
Something in his heart had landed, and he was also vaguely a little disappointed. He bent down and was about to get on the bed quietly. His fingertips touched the cool and smooth silk. The black shadow that was lying on its side suddenly and slowly sat up. The silk bedding slid down from his shoulders, and his snow-white skin was like a glazed jade, and it was flowing with a honey color in the night.
A bedside lamp was suddenly lit, and the light was gathered and contracted by the lampshade, and it reflected her face. Su Yu’s expression was suddenly complicated.
Xia Qiange pressed down on him and got close to him. The faint sea salt smell of the shower gel and the rose fragrance of her seaweed-like, soft and wet hair were mixed together. It was as if a large patch of a tide was falling at sunset, and the golden and brilliant beach was filled with bright red roses. The sand was slightly hot, and he couldn’t take his eyes off it.
She was half-kneeling, and her full thighs were pressed against the soft bed, and they were swaying with a white-glazed and alluring color. Su Yu then saw clearly the cover on her body. It was a little familiar. It was his clothes.
A large and loose white shirt was on her body, and the collar was symbolically buttoned a few times. The collar was loose, and it exposed her fair and exquisite collarbone. The curled ends of her hair were drooping on the side of her neck, and from time to time, a few crystal-clear water droplets were dripping down the curve of her raised neck, and they had soaked the white shirt, and a small patch of a transparent water mark was spread. The secret corner was faintly visible in the movement of her leaning over.
“How long have we been together?”, Xia Qiange still had her makeup on. She raised the corners of her eyes, which were painted with a dark eyeshadow, and suddenly asked.
“Four months…”
Su Yu hesitated for a few seconds and accurately said a number.
“Four months.”
She seemed to be sighing. The smile on her lips was even wider. She stared at his contracted pupils and exuded a naked seduction.
“Actually, I’m not that tired. We don’t need an ID card this time. I want to…”
“Qian Ge…”
“Shh! You’re wasting time. We should love each other more. Just consider it a gift for you.”
Her cool fingers were on his lips, and they had sealed the words that were suppressed in his throat. Her hair was wet and was dripping with water. Xia Qiange casually combed it back with her hand, and the loose shirt accentuated her figure even more. Her honey-colored skin was revealed, and her full curves were stretched and undulating. She was in a seductive and bold appearance. She had changed from her usual cold and frail appearance and had become a little strange.
Su Yu forgot to look away and just stared at Xia Qiange in a daze. Her dark eyes were reflecting his restless desire. How could he convince himself?
She stared at him and got closer again. He was trapped in her pupils!
She bit his ear, and her wet and hot breath was whispering in his ear.
She said, you’ve already fallen.
