Chapter 82: Reckless
At this time of day, Yudu was immersed in a kind of damp tranquility. The car door had not yet been closed, and the cool, bleak wind blew into the car from the door, adding a hint of coolness to the smell of brandy.
Yan Wei was holding Jiang Mi tightly, and Jiang Mi felt that she was almost unable to breathe.
In this suffocation, she quietly curved her lips and asked in a smiling voice, “And if I refuse?”
She pulled back from Yan Wei’s tight embrace. She was almost kneeling, her face slightly tilted up, her gaze tracing the outline of Yan Wei, who was right in front of her—the dim light could not clearly show the angles of that face, but the heat in those eyes was hard to ignore.
Jiang Mi could feel the arms that were wrapped around her waist were very tight, and she could also hear the imperceptible light tremor in Yan Wei’s breath.
Yan Wei stared at her, but didn’t speak, only her gaze moved from her eyebrows to Jiang Mi’s lips. Then, her body slowly leaned down, her lips stopping at the side of her face, and she said with a light breath, “Mimi, don’t refuse me.”
Her low, almost-coquettish, and weak tone was what Jiang Mi couldn’t stand the most.
On this point, Yan Wei was very clear.
Her lips landed on Jiang Mi’s cheek again and again, and finally, she opened her mouth and ground her teeth against the corner of Jiang Mi’s lips.
In that instant, Jiang Mi thought of a certain small beast.
Jiang Mi finally spoke, her voice very light, “Is Teacher Yan trying to teach me again?” she teased, but the end of her voice was uncontrollably raised slightly.
Yan Wei’s nose almost brushed against her cheek, with a slightly intoxicating scent of brandy. She let out a soft laugh, “Mmm… are you learning?”
She said in a low voice, her voice very low but extremely penetrating.
Jiang Mi deliberately dodged, and Yan Wei’s lips, tongue, and teeth were rubbing against the side of her lips. It seemed that she really wouldn’t act recklessly without her permission.
So she continued to play along with her, “Then may I ask Teacher Yan, how is the tuition fee calculated?”
The moment her words fell.
The air suddenly became thick.
Outside the car window, the world seemed to have been paused, leaving only their intertwined breaths.
Jiang Mi could feel Yan Wei’s gaze on her lips. That gaze was as if tangible, making her lips feel a little dry. She subconsciously licked her lips.
Even though she couldn’t see clearly, the faint sound of her pursing her lips was like a signal… the last bit of restraint in Yan Wei’s eyes quietly disintegrated, replaced by a bottomless desire.
She lowered her head, her movements very slow, giving Jiang Mi plenty of time to dodge.
But Jiang Mi didn’t move. This time, she just closed her eyes, as if in default, and also as if in invitation. She raised her hand, her fingertips gently brushing against the stray strands of hair by Yan Wei’s ear, and then she pressed her palm against the side of her neck.
Under her palm, the sound of her pulse was clear and rapid.
This active touch was worth a thousand words.
All the probing, hesitation, and waiting were rewarded at this moment.
Yan Wei no longer held back, and she lowered her head and covered the warmth she had longed for. This kiss began with a careful probing. But very quickly, the long-accumulated emotions were like a broken dam, washing away all reason.
It was not gentle, even urgent, full of the desire to confirm each other’s existence.
Jiang Mi passively endured it. When this long and deep kiss finally ended, both of them were a little out of breath.
Their foreheads were touching, and neither of them spoke.
The car was filled with an unprecedented intimacy and calmness. All the previous storms, calculations, and unease seemed to be temporarily blocked out by this kiss.
After a long time, Jiang Mi said, “I suddenly thought of something.”
“What?”
Yan Wei’s voice was extremely hoarse.
Jiang Mi said, “That time at your house, the time you and Mo Yun had a dispute, I happened to see you when I went there… these past few days, I’ve been thinking—”
Jiang Mi paused. “Did you forget to close the door that day?”
Yan Wei said directly, “That was Mo Yun deliberately letting you see.”
Jiang Mi: “Let me see?”
Long after it had happened, Yan Wei had already thought about this matter.
That day, Mo Yun had suddenly appeared. After she had entered, she hadn’t paid attention to the door. Later, Jiang Mi had “coincidentally” seen the scene she was most unwilling for Jiang Mi to see. Their relationship at that time was at a volatile stage, and after that, there was another estrangement.
Afterwards, she had figured it out.
“In other words, it was a matter between Mo Yun and Mo Xi. Actually, there have been similar things in the past. That girl I ‘kidnapped’, you must have seen that statement.”
“Mmm…”
“We were friends at the beginning.”
Yan Wei’s voice was very calm, and when she mentioned this matter, there was not a single emotional fluctuation.
But Jiang Mi was a little surprised and shocked.
Yan Wei held Jiang Mi. This was the only time she had thought of these people and things and still maintained such a peaceful state of mind. There was no hatred, nothing.
Only peace of mind.
“Later, Mo Yun found out about this somehow and found this girl in private. After that, I was backstabbed by her. She and a few other girls locked me in the restroom. The buckets in the restroom were filled with water, and they were poured on me, one by one.” Yan Wei seemed to feel the emotion in Jiang Mi’s heart and turned her head to rub against her.
“And then I retaliated.”
It was a blessing in disguise. On the way back, soaking wet, she was discovered by a talent scout. So even after her “bullying” of her classmate was discovered and reported, it was calmly suppressed by the company.
It ended peacefully just like that.
At that time, she knew that money and power could give her enough security. She had to climb up, stand at the top, stand on the shoulders of everyone.
—No matter the cost.
Jiang Mi then remembered the cold water that had been poured down in the DK restroom at that time.
“So at that time…”
“So at that time, I was helping you, and also helping myself,” Yan Wei picked up her words.
At that time, she was thinking that this woman, Jiang Mi, was really too naive. A person as naive as this might be able to survive in this industry, but she would definitely not be able to live very well.
Everyone could bully her, everyone could look down on her.
If Jiang Mi had been shelved because of this matter, she would have thought it was a pity from the bottom of her heart.
Although she hadn’t wanted to admit it at that time—
“I think you’re a very promising actor.”
Jiang Mi’s eyes were hot, and her fingers gently tightened on Yan Wei’s back.
She heard Yan Wei’s laugh. “Is our Mimi feeling sorry for me again?”
It was a very triumphant laugh.
It also carried the mature, cool, and seductive temperament of a woman, making one’s heart tremble.
Jiang Mi suppressed the urge to cry with great difficulty. “Yes, I feel sorry for you. Yan Wei, in the future, don’t hide everything in your heart, okay?”
Yan Wei thought for a moment. She didn’t think she could completely do it.
Because Jiang Mi, like her, also valued promises. She didn’t want to disappoint and sadden Jiang Mi one day because of some bad habits.
She said, “I’ll try my best, okay?”
Jiang Mi nodded. In the past, Yan Wei, whether she could do it or not, would always be perfunctory, coaxing, just to get through the temporary hurdle, patching up wherever it was broken.
Compared to that casual promise, she preferred a well-thought-out answer.
“But how did this matter get involved with Mo Xi?” she still had questions.
Yan Wei actually didn’t like her always mentioning these outsiders. To her, these people were not even worthy of being mentioned by Jiang Mi. But she was still patient. It was just that this time, she didn’t plan to go into detail. She didn’t want Jiang Mi to have any more sad emotions because of these things.
Jiang Mi’s emotions had their own use. There would always be a time to vent today, not to be wasted on these people.
She said simply, “I only recently found out that Mo Xi was behind many of the things. The matter of that girl back then was Mo Xi who instigated Mo Yun to go to the school. That day I invited you to my house, the reason Mo Yun appeared before you was because Mo Xi had gotten the news from someone around you.”
“…?”
Yan Wei let out a low humph at Jiang Mi’s reaction, a half-smile. She hadn’t intended to tell Jiang Mi this.
“Before that, the reason I changed the people around you was not entirely because I was angry with you,” she said faintly. “It was because I found out that Mo Xi was in contact with someone around you, so I simply moved everyone away from you.”
Her way of doing things was like this. If she couldn’t be sure that everyone was trustworthy, then she would just replace everyone.
This time, Jiang Mi was instead a little guilty. The argument was real, and Yan Wei’s ruthlessness was real, but she had also done too much for her behind her back.
“I didn’t even know these things.”
“You don’t need to know so much about messy things.” Yan Wei finished speaking, paused for a moment, as if she were thinking about something, and then said, “I’ll try to discuss it with you in the future.”
Jiang Mi knew that Yan Wei had taken to heart the words she had asked Nine to pass on.
She said with a smile, “Yan Wei, I suddenly feel a little happy now.”
Yan Wei asked, “Just a little?”
“Mmm, so I’ll get more tomorrow,” Jiang Mi said.
The two of them were holding each other tightly, and their words stopped. Yan Wei’s hand, through Jiang Mi’s coat, pinched her waist, and then her fingers went into Jiang Mi’s coat pocket.
Jiang Mi heard the sound of a candy wrapper and paused slightly.
She lowered her eyes and glanced at it, and heard Yan Wei ask in a low voice, “Is it good?”
Jiang Mi didn’t think too much about it and replied, “It’s not bad, mint-flavored…”
On the set, Qi Wenxi would often give her some.
The moment her words fell, she felt that the atmosphere was a little off. The light was too dim, and she could only vaguely see Yan Wei peeling the candy wrapper. The next second, a sweet taste was brought to her lips, and then the touch of Yan Wei’s fingers…
Yan Wei fed the candy into Jiang Mi’s mouth. To be precise, she squeezed the candy into Jiang Mi’s mouth. Her fingers did not immediately withdraw, but stopped when they touched the warm, wet tip of her tongue.
“Mmm…”
Jiang Mi reached out and gently held Yan Wei’s wrist. She couldn’t see the dark mockery in Yan Wei’s eyes, as if she wanted to bite her to pieces. In this environment, Yan Wei’s breath seemed to be even heavier.
She withdrew her hand and once again bit Jiang Mi’s lips.
Her tongue hooked in, and she hooked the candy into her own mouth, and then fiercely bit it to pieces.
The mouths of the two were instantly filled with the taste of mint.
Jiang Mi pushed her away slightly. “Why are you getting angry over this?”
“Is it still good?” Yan Wei asked again.
A cold wind blew in. She looked back and only then was she annoyed that the two of them had been so careless. The car door was not closed, and they were so reckless.
Jiang Mi lowered her voice. “It’s not good, it’s not good. Teacher Yan, I won’t eat it again in the future, okay?”
Hearing this, Yan Wei’s expression softened in the dimness.
She then held Jiang Mi’s waist tightly again, her hand unconsciously going further in. After Jiang Mi realized that the door was not closed, she couldn’t help but be nervous. “Wait, wait, the door isn’t closed…”
Before she could finish, suddenly, both of them stiffened slightly—when they had left the break room, Jiang Mi, for comfort, had taken off her underwear.
Now, inside… was a vacuum.
