Chapter 53 Senior 20

The Lin family's yard is very large. Wei Jingan was out of breath after walking for a while. Her hand was held by Lin Yanzhou and they walked into the sunshine. Everyone looked at them with ambiguous eyes. Only then did she feel that it was real that she was in love with Lin Yanzhou.

Long before her birthday, Wei Jingan had wanted to confess her love to Lin Yanzhou, even though she knew she would be rejected. However, as their relationship deepened, she could vaguely sense the emotions surging beneath his calm exterior, and she couldn't believe he would like her.

Now it feels real.

The two stood by the pool in the front yard. The clear water was warmed by the sun, and the ripples were sparkling with light. Wei Jingan's forehead was covered with sweat and her lips were pale. After walking for only a short while, her legs began to feel weak.

She forced herself not to make a sound until they reached the pool. Lin Yanzhou stopped and looked at her worriedly. Without waiting for her to reach out, he wiped the sweat from her forehead with the back of his hand. The hot sweat stuck to the back of his cold hand. Lin Yanzhou lowered his eyes, his red eyes suppressing the surging desire.

Wei Jingan heard him ask in a hoarse voice: "Are you tired?"

Although his tone was clearly inquiring, his expression showed otherwise. He seemed to be the more tired one, with his head lowered. He pinched her wrist a little too hard, and a slight blush appeared on the side of his face. Wei Jingan nodded.

She said, "I'm a little tired. I want to go back to the room and take a nap."

Lin Yanzhou took her hand and led her to a shady spot, away from the scorching sun. He bent his tall body in front of her and asked with a hint of panic, "I'm sorry, I have no experience in love. Is it boring to be with me? If Jingjing wants to do something, tell me. I will correct any shortcomings I have made."

Wei Jingan looked at him in surprise.

She was really tired. Usually she would lie down and rest for a while after lunch, but today was an exception. During the lunch break, she and Lin Yanzhou walked hand in hand aimlessly in the yard scorched by the scorching sun.

Of course, you won’t feel bored when you take a leisurely walk with your loved one.

But she really couldn't hold on.

I'm afraid that I'll need him to carry me back...

Lin Yanzhou is a dazzling existence. He is the kind of person who is emotionally superior even when he is in a relationship. There are so many people pursuing him that it is impossible to catch up with them. He just needs to wave his hand and many people are willing to obey his command. He does not seem like the kind of person who would bow down to his girlfriend.

But now. The cold snow melted into soft water stains on his brows. His tall body bent, looking Wei Jingan in the eye. The corners of his handsome lips pursed nervously. For some reason, the corners of his eyes were slightly red, as if he was suppressing some emotion. The deep anxiety and panic in his eyes reminded people of a dog about to be abandoned.

He continued, "I used to only care about studying and working, and there were a lot of things I didn't understand about dating girls. Would Jingjing find this boring?"

Wei Jingan opened her mouth, then shook her head amusedly under his intense gaze. "I'm really tired..." She pounded her legs and complained, "I can't walk any more. I'm also very sleepy. It's time for my lunch break."

Wei Jingan stood in the shadows, looking slightly confused. She was a little nervous at first. All her actions were controlled by Lin Yanzhou. She let him hold her hand when he wanted, and accompanied him to walk around the yard when he wanted. She looked completely out of touch with the situation.

After all, we just started dating.

Very reserved.

But he actually interpreted her reserve as dissatisfaction with him.

Wei Jing'an didn't know where she got the courage from. Perhaps Lin Yanzhou wasn't as aloof as she'd imagined, but rather unusually gentle and patient. The kitten tentatively stretched out its claws, tugged at the corner of his clothes, and pleaded, "I can't walk anymore. Can you carry me back?"

After hesitating for a moment, Wei Jingan raised her eyes and stared at him: "...Senior? Boyfriend?"

Lin Yanzhou's body froze at her deliberately softened tone, as if he had been scratched by a kitten. A dense electric current from his tailbone drilled straight into his brain, and his thoughts, which were not very firm to begin with, became turbulent in an instant.

She should be rejected.

How could she carry it on her back? She would definitely notice something was wrong with her body.

How to cover it up then?

On the other hand, he thought, she wasn't even afraid of the soft touch of a broken piece, and she slept with him in her arms, so why couldn't she accept him?

Lin Yanzhou said "OK", squatted down and asked her to crawl onto his back.

Wei Jingan stopped being shy and hugged his neck, lying on top of him. Lin Yanzhou put his hands behind her back, supported her thighs, lifted her up, and walked towards the bedroom.

What he said was half truth and half lie.

Being afraid that Wei Jingan would find him boring was one thing, but what was affecting him the most at the moment was the estrus period. How could he tell Wei Jingan that as long as she appeared by his side, he wanted to throw her ruthlessly on the soft big bed and fuck her deeply.

The surging tide of emotions was completely irrational. Moreover, he was not a weak and incompetent human being. The sweet breath of his beloved was so close to him, but he had to endure it for an unknown amount of time. Seeing her thin face and body, he was afraid of hurting her if he lost control.

I kept telling myself to be patient, to be patient.

He had no time to think about or do the little things he had to do to please his girlfriend when he was in love. He just tried his best to suppress the violent madness that came from his genes.

Just like now, she lay quietly on his back, her slender arms around his neck, the blue veins climbing on his neck were only millimeters away from her lips, and the scent of begging and love emitted by the blood was deeply inhaled by her nose. She was probably affected, and her arms around his neck kept tightening.

Wei Jingan breathed lightly, leaning against the man's broad back, her brain feeling dizzy from the unique scent of Lin Yanzhou.

She stared at the red tip of Lin Yanzhou's ear and rubbed her cheek against it inadvertently.

Lin Yanzhou suddenly froze.

He paused and continued to walk steadily: "Jingjing, don't move."

Wei Jingan blinked and closed her eyes honestly: "I didn't move."

"Yeah." Lin Yanzhou stopped talking. He felt miserable.

Wei Jingan returned to Lin Yanzhou's bedroom and was put on the bed by him. Then she rolled into the quilt, closed her eyes and pretended to rest.

Lin Yanzhou didn't say much, looked at her, and left the room.

Only she was left, Wei Jingan felt a little more at ease. She rolled around on the bed, but couldn't resist the drowsiness that came over her, so she closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Dreams are ultimately unstable.

Seeing the monster's true appearance again, Wei Jingan woke up crying, tears falling down her face uncontrollably. Just as she let out a whimper, she was hugged by Lin Yanzhou. He held her like a child, letting her legs clamp around his waist and hugging her back.

"What's wrong, Jingjing?" Lin Yanzhou asked worriedly.

Wei Jingan hugged him tightly with her arms: "I remember... I saw it in my dream. It was a very scary and disgusting monster... It had a tentacle like mud, and it wanted to eat me..."

Lin Yanzhou felt sorry for her, but his eyes were uncontrollably heavy and cold. He touched her back gently and said, "What kind of thing is it that scared Jingjing? I'll help you drive it away, okay? It's just a dream, it won't eat you."

Is it a dream?

Wei Jingan couldn't tell the difference.

She just wanted to stay in the embrace that made her feel safe. Lin Yanzhou stood up, maintained his posture, freed one hand to open the door, and walked in the corridor. The housekeepers and servants passing by lowered their brows and dared not look at her. Wei Jingan buried her blushing face in the man's arms, deeply inhaling his scent.

An inexplicable and unprovoked sense of security and fulfillment surged up in her. In Lin Yanzhou's arms, she felt as if she was no longer afraid of anything that might happen. It was a kind of security and happiness that came from being protected. She whimpered, finally letting out her aggrieved cry. She completely lost her shyness and nervousness, and just wanted to hug him tighter.

Lin Yanzhou was having a hard time, but what could he do? He pursed his lips, bit the tip of his tongue tightly, and tasted blood, which allowed him to barely maintain his sanity.

Wei Jingan felt that a long time had passed. She met many people on the road and didn't dare to raise her head. She accidentally ran into the housekeeper and saw him staring at them with a look of relief and fear. The people working here always had an inexplicable fear and trembling towards Lin Yanzhou.

How strange! He's such a gentle person.

Walking through the corridor in the villa and turning into the backyard, the scorching sun only stayed on her skin for a moment before Wei Jingan entered the humid environment. She curiously poked her head out of Lin Yanzhou's arms and saw... an octopus swimming in the huge fish tank?

This is a room dedicated to feeding marine life.

Lin Yanzhou said: "It's an ordinary octopus."

Holding Wei Jingan firmly, he said, "People in my family are quite interested in octopuses, just like we like to keep cats and dogs. If you look at them carefully, will you be scared?"

Wei Jingan shook her head. "They're very small. The octopus I saw... I seem to have forgotten its exact appearance. I only remember it had a few very thick tentacles. These can't compare to it."

Wei Jingan was about to go down, but Lin Yanzhou let go of her hand. Wei Jingan stood in front of the fish tank and asked, "Can I touch them?"

Lin Yanzhou said: "Of course."

Wei Jingan reached in, and the octopus, curled up beside the seaweed, slowly extended its tentacles. The suction cups at the bottom firmly grasped her fingers, and the tentacles wrapped around her fingertips like silk threads.

Lin Yanzhou pursed his lips, stood behind her, stared at the finger with a dark gaze, but said nothing in the end.

After counting a few seconds silently, he walked forward and, imitating Wei Jingan, put his finger into the fish tank. The octopus tentacles that were tightly wrapped around Wei Jingan's fingers suddenly retracted, and the soft body was retracted into the seaweed.

Wei Jingan's face was full of confusion.

Lin Yanzhou hooked her fingers and said, "See, there's nothing to be afraid of. Even if it gets bigger, it's okay. Remember that octopus in Tanshan Park? Jingjing was very brave and injured it."

"If you hadn't come, it would have eaten me." He still felt scared when he mentioned that incident.

Lin Yanzhou: "Then I'll stay by Jingjing's side from now on, okay? That way, we won't be afraid of monsters anymore, right?"

Wei Jingan's fingers were slowly grasped by his palm. She had a strange feeling, as if huge tentacles had appeared out of thin air, weaving a tight web around her. This inexplicable thought made her curl her fingertips, staring at the man sideways, then quickly lowering her eyes: "How could he stay by my side forever?"

Lin Yanzhou smiled: "Why not? As long as Jingjing wants to."

Wei Jingan didn't say anything else. She carefully observed the octopus hiding in the seaweed and thought of the black and red soft tentacles.

“It really doesn’t seem that scary.”

"Could it be that I was really drunk that day and had hallucinations?"

The man's breath came from her back, completely encircling her in his arms, his cold chest emitting a gloomy tide that was exactly the same as the salty sea water.

He said, “It’s not an illusion.”

He chuckled softly, "Jingjing is so cute. If there really is such a scary monster, it will definitely not be willing to eat you."

The tone was so strange that Wei Jingan vaguely sensed that something was wrong.

However, the next moment, Lin Yanzhou returned to his usual gentle tone: "The octopus's tentacles are not as scary as you imagined. Next time you encounter one... I mean in the dream, Jingjing tried to cut off its tentacles with a knife. It would hurt a lot, and the pain would be so severe that it wouldn't dare to hurt you again."

"Will a broken tentacle hurt?"

Lin Yanzhou frowned slightly, his beautiful eyes shrouded in a thin layer of water. His tone was more like a pity than a coquettish one: "It hurts a lot, just like cutting off a limb. The pain of the broken soft tissue will be transmitted back to you..."

"So Jingjing, next time you run into an octopus, just cut off its tentacles and give it a good beating. It will be scared and won't bother you again."
