306 Gathering (Part 3)

He Yinxin sighed softly and raised the corners of her mouth: "I won't die, don't worry."

"Um……"

Jiang Yichun hugged his waist tightly and began to sob softly against his chest.

The desires trapped in the wine glass, like the spilled red wine, overflowed from every pore of her body.

"You big liar who stood me up, I hate you." She groggily raised her head and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"Old He, do you know what? That damned University A, those damned group members, I... I was only an outstanding camper candidate in the summer camp!" She rattled off all her academic setbacks.

"I really hate group assignments, especially those where people steal credit!"

As she spoke, tears streamed down her face again: "Waaah, it feels like our contract is a joke!"

"We broke up, and I didn't get into A University."

"It's not a joke, Xiaochun, because of you, I've come to enjoy eating."

He Yinxin subconsciously placed his hands on her back, pulling her into his arms and gently stroking her back.

"It's okay, there's still a chance, Xiaochun."

In Jiang Yichun's blurred vision, the world had already spun around, leaving only the young man in front of her standing straight.

However, his brain learned to create "multiple shadow clones".

Jiang Yichun laughed and cried at the same time: "Liar, you, how come you have three heads?"

"Hehe, you wouldn't happen to be Nezha, would you?"

"It's him, it's him, our good friend Nezha!"

"Xiaochun, you...you're drunk."

He Yinxin turned her head and winked at Yang Fei and the others: "Let's... let's take Xiaochun back together."

"Waaah, no, I want, I want you to personally deliver me, you liar!" Jiang Yichun pressed even closer, her soft body gradually melting in his embrace.

"Hug me, you're so warm." She continued to rub against his chest, her arms tightly wrapped around his waist.

She became a glass of red wine, boiling in a warm embrace, her desire evaporating into the mist surrounding her.

Jiang Yichun groggily raised his head and called out in Yang Fei's direction, "Feifei, you...you don't need to see me off, I want Lao He to see me off!"

"I'll get angry with anyone who doesn't let Lao He take me home! Humph! I'm not going back to the dorm!"

He Yinxin looked up at the three people standing there in a daze on the other side, his ears turning red: "You, you go back first, I'll take Xiaochun back."

Su Yanyue frowned: "Senior, can you really guarantee Xiaochun's safety? You can't..."

"He Yinxin, you idiot, blockhead, big liar! You coward who wouldn't even kiss me! Su Su, you can rest assured, he wouldn't dare touch me even if he had a hundred lives." Jiang Yichun lifted her head from He Yinxin's embrace and held up one finger.

She meant to raise her index finger, but her hand slipped and she raised her middle finger instead.

Su Yanyue's face turned pale instantly, and her eyes widened.

"Oh, hehe, sorry, Su Su, I raised the wrong finger, hehe." Jiang Yichun glanced at his own finger, laughed, and quickly withdrew his middle finger and raised his index finger instead.

"Yan Yue, Xiao Chun seems to be really out of it." Yang Fei took Su Yan Yue's hand.

Su Yanyue frowned and shook her head as she looked at the two people stuck together.

"Yes, I almost forgot, Xiaochun is like a completely different person when she drinks."

Zhang Xingxing stepped forward and stopped in front of the two: "Senior He, Xiaochun... is she in your hands now?"

"Make sure you get her to her dorm safely. We all trust your character."

He Yinxin looked at her, nodded, and gestured for the others to leave first.

He looked at the worried eyes of the girls, lowered his gaze, and waved to them.

He lowered his head and looked at the girl curled up in his arms.

Jiang Yichun looked up and stared straight at him with a silly smile on her face. She suddenly grabbed his wrist and pulled him into a side alley.

Jiang Yichun stood on tiptoe and wrapped her arms around his neck: "Old He... will you kiss me?"

"Really, kiss me..."

He Yinxin's eyelashes trembled, his lips quivered, and his eyes darkened: "Xiaochun, you're drunk, don't talk nonsense."

"Hmph, I'm not drunk at all, I'm perfectly sober. If you don't kiss me, I'll... I'll yell and make everyone come to see you!" Jiang Yichun cupped his cheeks, and she could clearly see his delicate features.

"He's actually quite handsome, you liar."

"Xiaochun, stop fooling around!"

"You're going to make a scene, huh!"

Jiang Yichun raised his head and kissed him on the cheek.

He Yinxin stood frozen in place, her hands trembling, unsure of what to do with them.

Seeing that he did not refuse, Jiang Yichun became even more unrestrained.

Her kisses gradually spread from his cheek to his neck.

Her kisses were not gentle; He Yinxin could always feel her teeth brushing against his skin, stimulating his already aroused nerves.

He Yinxin could no longer suppress the emotions welling up inside him. He pressed down on her shoulder and said, "Okay, I'll kiss you, please stop making a fuss."

Jiang Yichun released him and closed her eyes: "Mmm, okay, kiss me, hurry up."

He Yinxin took a deep breath, lowered his head, and placed a light kiss on her cheek.

The kiss was brief, leaving only a slight ripple on her cheek.

Jiang Yichun frowned and pinched his shoulder: "Not a kiss on the cheek, a kiss on the lips."

"If you don't kiss me, I... I'll slap you, hmph!"

He Yinxin's cheeks flushed red. He didn't speak, but his Adam's apple bobbed.

The defenses he had built with reason were crumbling.

Since, since it was Xiaochun who took the initiative, then I will...

Anyway, my first kiss was with her, so everything I have belongs to her.

He Yinxin lowered his head, silently pressed his lips to hers, and then stepped closer until he could completely capture her breath.

Her lips were soft, like kissing a light cotton ball, with a faint scent of alcohol on them.

He Yinxin's brain was also dizzy from the alcohol, and his arms around her gradually tightened, pulling her into his embrace.

His pent-up desires surged forth, and he breathed heavily, increasingly craving the faint fragrance of her lips.

He gradually swallowed her breath, completely drawn into the warm ocean of her life.

Jiang Yichun's breathing was unsteady; she felt the tall figure in front of her kissing her so hard she couldn't breathe.

Her mouth felt like it was stuck shut by something soft.

"Ugh...no!" Jiang Yichun pushed him away, blinking her hazy eyes. "Liar, your mouth is so soft, but...but my mouth just drank alcohol, does it smell bad?"

He Yinxin's eyes were unfocused as he lingered on the ends of her hair with his fingertips, saying, "No...it feels very comfortable."

"Is it uncomfortable to be drunk?"

"I bought mints."

He reached into his pocket, pulled out a box of mints, and took one out.

Jiang Yichun lowered his head and took a bite of the mint on his fingertip.

Her canine tooth brushed against his fingertip.

A faint pain came from her fingertips, but He Yinxin did not flinch, and still gently wrapped her waist with her other hands.

"Mmm, I want another kiss, give me another kiss, Lao He."

He Yinxin's Adam's apple bobbed. He stuffed the mint back into his pocket and once again pulled Jiang Yichun into his arms.

"I'm not kissing you anymore, Xiaochun. You're really drunk. You'll regret it..."

"Besides, I'm not you... hiss!"

"Hmph! That's not up to you!" Jiang Yichun tilted his head back and bit down hard right next to his Adam's apple.

"Vampire! I'm sucking, sucking, sucking!"

"Man, I've marked you. You can't escape now. I'll always be your master!"

"..."

The minty scent, mixed with a strong sense of pain, crept up his body.

He Yinxin winced in pain, but didn't say a word; he just held her even tighter.

"Okay. I'm not running anymore."

"Please don't leave either, okay?"

His eyes were bright and his lips were curved in a smile.

"I'll think about it."

"However, no matter what, you are now under my control. Kiss me, hurry up!" Jiang Yichun pulled his head down, cupped his cheeks with both hands, and kissed his lips again.

Her kisses were haphazard, a mix of nibbling and biting, as if the other person's lips weren't lips at all, but rather a fluffy loaf of bread.

The mint in her mouth slowly melted on her tongue, filling both of their mouths with its minty flavor.

He Yinxin let her cling to him, his hands tugging at the hem of her clothes so she could lean more comfortably against him.

He closed his eyes, enduring the pain and sweetness that his beloved was bringing him.

He only stopped breathing heavily when Jiang Yichun released him.

"Kiss, kiss successful, yay!"

Before He Yinxin could catch her breath, she was pulled into a hug again.

"You know what? I've missed you so much this past month, and your coat... it smells so good."

"That night, I slept with it in my arms the whole time I was at summer camp, and now it smells like me, hehe."

Jiang Yichun's hands slid down his cheeks and gently pressed his Adam's apple.

He Yinxin's face turned completely red, and her body froze on the spot, letting the little witch in front of her cast spells on her and utter some strange incantations.

Her hand slid down to his waist and pinched his muscle, causing him to cough a few times.

"Hmm, good physique, acceptable! Perfect!" Jiang Yichun babbled incoherently, his fingertips feeling the soft touch of his muscles.

"But you liar, have you lost weight these past few days? You've lost so much muscle." She raised a hand and pinched his cheek. "Don't you know how to eat without a contract, you idiot?"

He Yinxin looked down at her and gently rubbed her cheek: "No, I'm eating properly, Xiaochun, don't worry about me."

"I've done everything you asked me to do, like taking care of my health and making money."

His hand gently stroked her braid that hung over her shoulder.

"Oh." Jiang Yichun continued to pinch his cheek. "I'm not... worried about you, I'm just afraid you'll die."

"Yeah, and also, I... I haven't forgiven you yet! You pretended to be a woman to lie to me and then stood me up, you bastard!"

"Yeah. I'm a bastard." He Yinxin said helplessly, but her hands kneaded even more vigorously.

He suddenly felt a pair of hands climb onto his waistband.

"Click." An ominous sound came from below.

Jiang Yichun's eyes were clouded with tears as he foolishly tugged at his belt.

Her dizzy mind was filled with the words she heard in her half-dreaming state.

One-night stands, kisses and hugs...

Yeah, when you're drunk, you're more likely to have a one-night stand.

One-night stand...

Her brain had long lost the ability to process information, and the words just slipped out of her mouth:

"But, you know, I'm pretty forgiving. If you sleep with me for one night, I'll... I'll forgive you, okay?"

"You look...you don't seem to have much experience, you're all clean and tidy."

"ah?"

"What did you say?"

Her words were like a thunderbolt, leaving He Yinxin's mind reeling.

"What do you mean, sleep? Jiang Yichun, are you crazy?" He Yixin tried to push her away, but then froze in place, worried that she would fall.

"What's wrong with you? The hotel is right next door. You, you carry me there! We'll split the room cost tomorrow!" Jiang Yichun continued to press his head against his chest, while his hands moved down from his waistband.

A warm touch came from her palm.

He Yinxin was instantly enveloped by a strange feeling, and the volcano inside his body almost erupted with lava.

He grabbed her wrist: "No, no! Xiaochun, this is indecent!"

"We can't do this kind of thing without understanding the situation!"

"I...I'm a respectable young man, you can't..."

"What kind of respectable young man... are you supposed to uphold male virtues?"

"Hehe, this Xinxin is just lame..."

Jiang Yichun wanted to say something more, but He Yinxin picked her up and carried her horizontally.

The feeling of weightlessness made her instantly wrap her arms around his neck.

"I'll take you home; you're really too drunk."

He Yinxin lowered his eyes and gently stroked the back of her neck with his fingertips.

"Director He, what are you doing?" Yang Fei's shout made him turn his head.

Su Yanyue peeked out from beside Yang Fei: "Are you really going to take her to a hotel? No way!"

"Xiaochun is drunk, but you are sober."

"Do you really think we're like those unreliable best friends in romance novels who are just there to help each other out?"

Three figures suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

He Yinxin was stunned, as if she had grasped at a straw but was also arrested on the spot: "Didn't you say you were leaving first?"

"We just said we were leaving, but we definitely aren't going."

Who would entrust a drunk friend to an adult male?

Zhang Xingxing, supporting two girls who were unsteady on their feet, stood a short distance away glaring at him.

"I...no, I just wanted to take her back to her dorm. I didn't mean to take her to a hotel." His lips trembled, but he still held Jiang Yichun tightly in his arms.

He Yinxin pushed up her crooked glasses, avoiding their gaze: "She was just... a little out of it. If I don't handle it this way, it might cause some problems."

"We're not in a relationship yet, so we can't have one-night stands. These are the most basic principles of being a decent human being."

“She was drunk and didn’t understand, but I was sober. I knew this was wrong and I had to stop it.”

That sounds like official talk.

"...But you just kissed her."
