After We Broke Up, She Started Pursuing Me [Entertainment Industry] 35

Chapter 35

Perhaps because she was sick, her voice was slightly hoarse and carried a hint of laziness as she looked at the astonished person beneath her with a smile in her eyes.

Shi Qin’s words were sometimes so blunt that they made Zhou Jinsi a little embarrassed. Realizing her own behavior just now, a sense of shame began to rise in Zhou Jinsi.

She pressed her lips together, her heart pounding like a drum, a lump in her throat that she couldn’t argue against.

The way Shi Qin was lying on top of her now was like a noble and beautiful cat, its tail flicking, putting on a docile and sweet posture, only to pull away the moment you were mesmerized.

Full of mischievous thoughts of teasing people.

What should have been a natural progression when the atmosphere was right had now become her deliberate means of seduction.

Zhou Jinsi was a little angry for a moment, but she didn’t know where the anger came from. She could only keep it to herself. She moved her body, wanting to turn her back to her.

“Don’t move…” Shi Qin reached out and hugged her again.

Zhou Jinsi turned her head away, not wanting to look at her, her hands resting properly at her sides, making no move to respond.

“Xiao Si…” Shi Qin called her softly.

“You always say I’m not clear about my own heart. What about you?”

The sudden question made Zhou Jinsi pause. She didn’t understand what Shi Qin meant and looked back at her.

Shi Qin closed her eyes, nestled in the crook of her shoulder and neck, and said slowly, “When people face someone they love, they always can’t help but have a physiological desire for close contact.”

“I have this. What about you? Do you admit it?”

Zhou Jinsi remained silent, but the hands that had been lying flat slowly curled up. She looked down at the white quilt, lost in thought.

Shi Qin didn’t care whether she answered or not, just continued, “I’ve asked you this question many times. But even if you choose not to answer, you can’t lie to yourself.”

Hearing her words, Zhou Jinsi’s brow gradually furrowed. After a long moment, she said faintly, “But even if I don’t say it, you’ve always known the answer, haven’t you?”

Shi Qin retorted, “Then what have you been hiding from? I’ve always told you that you are in my heart. Why won’t you believe me?”

Zhou Jinsi took a breath, a sourness welling up in her heart. She turned her head and lowered her eyes, facing Shi Qin. “Trust is something that’s easy to talk about, but hard to do.”

“Then if you already know the answer, why do you test me over and over again?”

Shi Qin was at a loss for words, a rare hint of sorrow in her eyes. Seeing her silent, Zhou Jinsi laughed self-deprecatingly.

“I don’t have it, and you don’t either, do you?”

Zhou Jinsi lay flat on her back, staring at the ceiling, and said to herself, “Actually, you and I, from the outside, should be two completely different types of people. But sometimes, I always feel that we still have some similarities.”

“Both are equally sensitive, and suspicious… or maybe, we’re not really alike, because…”

Zhou Jinsi looked at Shi Qin.

“I’ve never really understood you, and you’ve never come to understand the real me.”

“In that case, what’s the point of talking about trust?”

The two of them looked at each other for a long time. Zhou Jinsi couldn’t read the emotions in Shi Qin’s eyes. Just as she was about to speak again, she was silenced by a pair of soft lips meeting hers.

“Mmph?!”

Zhou Jinsi raised her hands, still wanting to struggle free, but Shi Qin’s arms wrapped around her neck with force. The warmth of her lips was so scalding it burned straight into Zhou Jinsi’s heart. In an instant, all her chaotic thoughts vanished, replaced by a sweeping tide of amorous feelings.

Shi Qin’s kisses had always been passionate, but today she was even more proactive. The heat of their entwined lips and tongues steadily rose, and the desire that had just cooled in Zhou Jinsi was once again ignited.

No longer caring about anything else, at this moment, she only wanted to follow the first thought in her mind, to follow the feeling of her body.

In a few back-and-forths, the two of them were lost in their kiss. The muffled groans that Shi Qin let out from time to time only fanned the flames in Zhou Jinsi’s heart. For a moment, her blood rushed, her whole body burning with an unbearable heat. Their legs, at some point, had become entangled.

Zhou Jinsi’s one hand was cupped at the back of Shi Qin’s head, the other wrapped around her waist. It had to be admitted, Zhou Jinsi was truly a person whose actions belied her words. The moment Shi Qin’s lips had pressed against hers, all reason, all thought, had been thrown to the back of her mind.

After a long while, the two of them slowly pulled apart, both panting heavily.

Shi Qin’s gaze was fixed on Zhou Jinsi’s swollen, thin lips. She cupped her face, her thumb gently wiping away the moisture from the corner of her mouth. “Your constitution is better than mine. Just once, it should be fine…”

Zhou Jinsi: “…” So she’s said everything there is to say.

“Xiao Si,” Shi Qin looked at her seriously. “Actually, I’m not as perfect as I seem to the public. I’m actually a person with many flaws, but I’ve never thought of exposing them to others.”

“Since I was little, because of my appearance, many people have wanted to get close to me, but most of them had various ulterior motives.”

“You are the only one who was willing to stay with me, even though you were rarely proactive.”

Shi Qin slowly buried her body in Zhou Jinsi’s embrace, pressing against her chest, listening to her heartbeat, which made her feel real and secure.

“I admit, after we confirmed our relationship, for a period of time, I was never sure if I truly liked you, or if it was just out of gratitude for your companionship…”

Hearing this, Zhou Jinsi’s heart also seemed to seize, her breathing slowing. She felt Shi Qin nuzzle against her in her embrace.

“But just as I finally confirmed the answer… you left, Zhou Jinsi.”

“I couldn’t contact you at all. I tried to ask many people about your situation, but no one knew…”

She spoke slowly and calmly, but to Zhou Jinsi, it carried a hint of bitterness. She didn’t know what to say, only raised her hand and gently hugged the person in her arms.

“I know you’ve always been bothered about me and Jiang Mo… but I can tell you very clearly now.”

“Besides you, I haven’t had anyone else in my heart. This sentence, no matter how many times you want to hear it, I can say it to you.”

Zhou Jinsi’s heart was moved. After a moment’s hesitation, she looked down at the person in her arms, as soft as a little animal. Her lips moved, and she finally asked the question that had been buried in her heart.

“You… you’re really not just doing this out of a momentary unwillingness to accept defeat…”

“I’m not.”

Shi Qin answered quickly, then immediately looked up at the person before her. “Are you saying I’m unwilling to accept defeat because you suddenly broke up with me?”

“Well, there is a little bit of that.”

Zhou Jinsi paused, still stunned, when she heard Shi Qin say, “But that doesn’t conflict with me having you in my heart. And…”

“Not only am I unwilling to accept defeat, I’m also a little angry. Why did you just run away without a word right after I had just confirmed my own feelings?”

“Zhou Jinsi, actually, you’re the one who’s the best at teasing people,” Shi Qin said, her eyes full of resentment.

Zhou Jinsi subconsciously denied it. “I’m not… I…”

She still wanted to explain, but Shi Qin silenced her with a finger to her lips.

Shi Qin said faintly, “Alright, there’s no point in us constantly arguing about the past. Didn’t you say it yourself? It’s all in the past.”

“Also, I know that some things can only be proven with time, so I’m not in a hurry. But, don’t hide from me anymore.”

Zhou Jinsi looked at her, her heart softening. She replied softly, “Okay.”

A smile curved on Shi Qin’s lips, so gentle that Zhou Jinsi was almost drunk in her gaze. But Shi Qin suddenly reined in her smile and buried herself in her embrace again.

“I’m tired. Let’s sleep, Teacher Zhou.”
“Good night.”

Zhou Jinsi still hadn’t pulled herself out of the heart-to-heart they had just had. After a few seconds of being stunned, she asked, “…Do we have to sleep while holding each other?”

The person in her arms didn’t reply. Zhou Jinsi could only hide her own embarrassment and stretch her body out straight so that she could lie more comfortably.

“Good night.”

Just as Zhou Jinsi closed her eyes, a light peck landed on her face. Before she could react, the person had buried herself in the quilt again.

“You…” Zhou Jinsi looked at the person in her arms, wanting to say something more, but saw her raise a hand and cover her own eyes.

“Sleep.”

“…Okay.”

Zhou Jinsi felt the warmth on her eyes. The soft, silk-like touch made a faint smile appear on her lips as well.

The two of them, embracing, fell into a deep sleep in the rainy wilderness night.
