Chapter 50 is the Northeast Golden Gradient

Ji Shi'an didn't actually go very far. She huddled against the wall, listening to the two people's tentative exchanges. She rested her head against the cold wall, her eyes fixed on the pale beige ceiling above.

There seemed to be many thoughts running through my mind, yet it seemed like there were nothing at all.

She lowered her eyes, rolled up the lint on her sweater sleeves, took a deep breath, walked over to Ross, and handed him the QR code on her phone: "Add me as a friend."

Qin Yinghuai paused slightly, and couldn't help but smile.

Ross's light-colored eyes lit up, and he quickly responded, "Okay, okay."

Ji Shian pursed his lips, unable to bring himself to call out "Dad," so he simply skipped the address and said, "My vacation is over. I have some urgent work and need to return to Yun City. You..."

"Just keep busy." Ross stuttered a bit, a rare occurrence. "Your mom has booked the next flight. When you're free, can we have dinner together?"

Ji Shian thought about it and nodded: "Okay."

She could tell he was suppressing his emotions, but Ji Shian's heart was still stagnant. She didn't know how to deal with it yet. She needed more time to digest and accept it.

Ji Shian finally followed Qin Yinghuai back to her golden nest.

As soon as the door closed, she slammed her head against Qin Yinghuai's back. Her voice was muffled through her clothes, uttering some unclear words.

Qin Yinghuai raised his hand and placed the key on the table, then stood there and let her vent.

"It's embarrassing, isn't it?"

Ji Shian stared blankly at a spot on the pitch-black fabric, muttering dryly to himself, "How embarrassing."

Qin Yinghuai wanted to turn around and hug her, but Ji Shian held his waist tightly and hit his head again with full force.

He closed his eyes, pinched the man's two claws and turned himself over.

Ji Shian nudged his head against his chest again. It was softer than his back, and he couldn't help but rub it.

Qin Yinghuai's throat rolled and he forgot what he wanted to say.

The two of them just stood at the entrance, one holding the other like a teddy bear, hitting and rubbing him, while the other remained silent and let him suck and touch him.

The slender fingers ran along the curled hair on the furry head in his arms, and the heartbeats overlapped and vibrated rapidly.

Ji Shian couldn't help but stand on tiptoe and get closer, sighing: Let's not talk about anything else, at least it's really comfortable to hug.

When she launched a headbutt attack for who knows how many times, it was finally ruthlessly blocked.

"My forehead is red." Qin Yinghuai's voice was slightly hoarse, but his mood was unusually stable: "Aren't you dizzy?"

Ji Shian's thoughts drifted briefly, and in his confusion he wandered to the classic plots of major idol dramas - the hero and heroine hugged each other, the heroine stood on tiptoes, and the hero lowered his head to give her a beautiful kiss.

She quickly licked her lower lip with the tip of her tongue, looking for some excitement.

Something that can temporarily free her from the confusion, emptiness, astonishment and absurdity.

However, due to her height, she managed to leap forward, but instead of grabbing the neck, she grabbed a mouthful of zippers. It was cold and gnashing against her teeth, with a dull metallic taste.

"Pooh, pooh, pooh."

Qin Yinghuai held her with one hand, keeping her hanging more steadily, and chuckled softly. His expression could conceal it, but the vibration of his chest was particularly obvious.

Ji Shian looked solemn, feeling like he was being laughed at.

No, she couldn't stand this grievance.

"I've told you, don't think about things you shouldn't think about. You're just her substitute." A deep voice sounded from beside his ear, and the heat passed through his earlobe faintly. Ji Shian tilted his head reflexively, and then looked at him with a question mark on his face.

Seeing the gentle smile in his eyes, Ji Shian hugged him tighter, his legs hanging by his waist swaying excitedly. He quickly responded to the line.

"Sir, I know. I will never be able to compare to that Miss Ji... I dare not ask for anything. I just want to accompany you when you are sad."

She smacked her lips, wondering if the world power had some strange quirks. The new plot, based on the new character design, had a strong adult channel feel.

She recalled what happened next.

Of course, the cold and arrogant president would not admit that he had developed feelings for this stand-in at this moment. The arrhythmia was just due to a cold caused by the recent seasonal change, so he pushed the person away and started making a bunch of humiliating remarks.

"Really?" Qin Yinghuai did not continue as planned. He carried the person upstairs, walked to the bedroom reserved for Ji Shian, and gently put the person on the bed.

Ji Shian tilted his head: Why don't you follow the script? Come and humiliate me~

She loved watching Qin Yinghuai suppress his guilt and entanglement, his eyes filled with unspeakable shame. He spoke the coldest lines with the most reluctant attitude, against his will.

There is a feeling of being broken from the inside out, which is very special.

After the two confirmed their relationship, every step towards intimacy was initiated by Ji Shian. Even though he knew she was an independent-minded person, the indelible possessiveness in his heart always made her seem particularly impulsive and unpredictable.

Qin Yinghuai often looked at her with restraint, or watched her silently with gentle eyes. He allowed Ji Shian to leave her mark on him, as if he could tolerate everything.

For a moment, Ji Shian's remaining conscience pangs for a few seconds. She feels that her feelings for him can't match his, and her love is more dominated by novelty and excitement. A subtle anxiety rises in her heart, making her blame herself.

She had said that she would wait a little longer, until she had completely sorted out her feelings and could not be a careless scumbag without knowing what was going on. But she had sent him an invitation without thinking, wanting to possess him, wanting to see his eyes filled with her.

The despicable desire for conquest and possession intertwined into a dense web that enveloped her heart. Ji Shian felt disgusted with herself. She hated this chaotic sense of clarity.

She opened her mouth to say something, but Qin Yinghuai blocked it with his finger.

He leaned forward to see everything clearly. He had originally wanted to give people something else to do to distract their attention, to put aside some of the issues they couldn't figure out for a while and deal with them later.

But he saw her let down all her defenses, revealing her soft belly, and looking at him with unconscious grievance.

He felt a little helpless and a little amused, but it all turned into a dense heartache in the end. He leaned over slightly and asked in a soft voice with some coaxing: "Why are you crying?" If you want to admit it, then admit it. If you don't want to admit it, then just leave it alone.

So what if they were her biological parents, so what if they had been searching for her for twenty years. If you wanted Shi An's love, you had to devote your heart to her and exchange your sincerity for hers.

"No one can force you, so don't force yourself, okay?"

He had no idea that the person under him was already running wild on the track of love.

Ji Shian didn't like the feeling of losing control of her emotions. This vulnerability made her feel uneasy, but she couldn't help but reach out to absorb the warmth. "Really?"

It’s okay if I don’t like you as much as you like me?

It’s okay if I seem to crave your body more than I like you?

Her emotions came and went quickly, and she hooked her arms around the man's neck eagerly.

Qin Yinghuai paused slightly. Shi An's current expression was beyond his expectations, but he still nodded without hesitation: "Really."

Knowing that the other party never makes promises easily but will never break his word once it is spoken, Ji Shian's eyebrows curved, as if he had obtained a golden medal of immunity from death that could be used unlimitedly, and a smile appeared on his lips.

She smiled and said, "Brother Huai, I like you so much!"

Qin Yinghuai stared at her in shock, unsure how the topic had suddenly reached this point. But his chest was pounding, and a burst of joy instantly filled his entire body. He almost couldn't help but lower his head and wanted to kiss her.

But no, Shi An hasn't fully accepted him yet.

As soon as this thought came to mind, the sweetness in my heart turned sour.

The man, believing himself to be in a probationary period, acted with extreme caution, accepting Ji Shian's unconventional attempts and attempts at closeness with all his might, maintaining a mask of emotional composure. Despite his own stirrings, he dared not act rashly. He feared losing his composure, revealing his inner desire for aggression, and sending others reeling in fear.

His breathing was heavy, slightly tense, and his thumb kneaded her wrist over and over, neither lightly nor heavily. Seeing her unconsciously displaying such trust, the joy and satisfaction in his heart challenged his nerves, impulse and patience intertwined. Finally, he held his breath and placed a gentle kiss on her wrist.

The kiss, so light that it was almost negligible, burned all the way to Ji Shian's heart, and her brain, which had just calmed down a little, became hot again.

Want to kiss.

Qin Yinghuai's pupils shrank, and the strength of his grip on her wrist increased. Ji Shian felt a slight pain and subconsciously "hissed". It was only later that she realized that she had actually spoken out loud.

My first reaction was: Damn, it’s terrible again.

It wasn't until someone held her lips between their teeth and licked them slowly that she realized what had happened. Her whole body flushed and went blank.

How, how could it be like this?

Wow, that's so sudden.

Her fingers subconsciously raised up, wanting to pull at anything on the culprit's body to gain a sense of security, but there was no thread for her to pull and no ornaments for her to touch.

Hanging in the air, neither up nor down, my thoughts are in chaos.

"An An."

It was not until she was called by her name in dissatisfaction and guided to put her arms around the man's neck again that she dropped slightly to the ground and groaned dully.

How come her gentle, calm, and sometimes cute boyfriend suddenly became so fierce?

The magical love filter made her temporarily forget her initial impression of Qin Yinghuai.

The highest level of the frog in boiling water is that the prey knows it is being boiled, but is complacent about its own clarity of mind, thinking it has taken the initiative. In fact, in the emotional confrontation, they either sink together or both suffer losses.

Ji Shian finally came to his senses when he was hugged by Qin Yinghuai and kissed on the cheek. He angrily slapped him on the chest, and when he pulled his hand back, he rubbed it secretly.

Damn it, why did she think Qin Yinghuai was a cute cat some time ago? He was clearly a Northeastern golden tabby cat who only cared about people and didn't leave any bones!

She slowly closed her eyes, rested her head on the man's neck and rubbed it to find a comfortable position, repeating in a neither loud nor soft voice: "I was cheated, I was cheated, I was cheated..."
