Extra Nan Luo: 15. The Leopard Catches the Aries

It had been over a month since Yu Jinnan visited Luo Hao at his apartment. Though he was thrilled to see her in the small apartment they shared, he couldn't help but be stern when he thought about how she still hadn't broken up with the blond haired man after all the fuss that night. Entering the messy apartment, Yu Jinnan lamented Luo Hao's living conditions. But upon entering his room, she was struck by its excessive cleanliness. She hadn't expected him to maintain such a clean appearance in such a situation. She placed the pile of lunch boxes she had brought on the table, explaining that she had made them herself, a treat for his Chinese palate. Luo Hao, having indeed not had a proper meal in ages, devoured his food ravenously. She sat across from him and saw that his shaved head seemed even more dashing, though the purple scar on his forehead was too noticeable, adding a touch of pity to his handsome profile. "Does it still hurt?" she asked, seeing that he had almost finished his meal. Luo Hao raised his eyebrows and looked at her, then lowered his head to continue eating, responding to her question nonchalantly: "Since you care so much, why didn't you ask this earlier? The wound is scabby now, what else is there to ask." Jin Nan sighed helplessly and said: "Can you please stop opposing me?" Luo Hao still said like a spoiled child: "I came here for you, and want to have a good relationship with you, why should I oppose you?" "Luo Hao, you know--" But he interrupted her again: "I don't know anything, especially why you haven't broken up with that golden retriever! Is your circle in Paris so open? A man goes to a dirty toilet cubicle to mess around with another woman in front of his girlfriend, and the whole banquet is a hot topic. You think it's okay, and forgiveness is available immediately, right?" She stared at the anger in his eyes, with heartache and anger at his lack of fighting spirit. She only smiled in relief and tried to console him, saying, "I'm not a good woman either. I need his support for several projects I'm working on, so I can't break up with him just yet. That's why I've always rejected you. What you value and want is completely contrary to what I can give you." They stared at each other for a long time. Jin Nan hoped he'd see a farewell in her eyes, and then give up, but he only caught the slightest hint of reluctance. He leaned over the narrow table, grasped the back of her neck, and kissed her fiercely. It was a domineering and rough kiss, like a nimble leopard grabbing an Aries in its jaws. The stainless steel lunch box on the table was shaken by his violent movements...

It was over a month later when Yu Jinnan came to see Luo Hao at his apartment. Although he was thrilled to see her in this small apartment shared by four people, he couldn't help but feel bad for her when he thought about the big scene that night and how she still hadn't broken up with the blond.

After Yu Jinnan walked into this messy apartment, he lamented Luo Hao's living environment, but when he entered his room, he was shocked by how tidy it was. He didn't expect that in such an environment, he could still be so clean.

She put the pile of lunch boxes she brought on the table and said that she made them herself to reward his Chinese stomach.

Luo Hao had indeed not had a proper meal for a long time, so he lay on the table and wolfed down his food.

She sat opposite him and saw that he seemed to look more heroic with a shaved head, but the purple scar on his forehead was too eye-catching, making his handsome profile look a little more pitiful.

"Does the wound still hurt?" She asked when she saw that he had almost finished eating.

Luo Hao raised his eyebrows and looked at her, then lowered his head to continue eating, responding to her question nonchalantly: "If you care so much, why didn't you ask this earlier? The wound is scabby now, what else is there to ask."

Jin Nan sighed helplessly and said, "Can you please stop opposing me?"

Luo Hao continued to play tricks and said, "I came here for you. I want to have a good relationship with you. Why should I go against you?"

"Luo Hao, you know——"

He interrupted her again, "I don't know anything, especially why you haven't broken up with that blond haired girl yet! Are your circles in Paris so open? A man goes to a dirty toilet stall and messes with another woman in front of his girlfriend, and the whole party is buzzing about it, and everyone thinks it's okay and forgives him instantly, right?"

She stared at the anger in his eyes, feeling both distressed and angry at his lack of fighting spirit. But she could only smile in relief and console him, "I'm not a good woman either. I need his support for several projects I'm working on, so I can't break up with him just yet. That's why I've always rejected you. What you value and want is completely contrary to what I can give you."

They stared at each other for a long time. Jinnan hoped that he could see farewell in her eyes and then give up, but he only caught the slightest reluctance in her eyes.

He leaned over the narrow tabletop, grasped the back of her neck, and kissed her fiercely. It was a domineering and brutal kiss, like a nimble leopard catching an Aries in its clutches. The stainless steel lunchbox on the table crashed to the floor under his violent movements. He threw himself on her, not allowing her a moment to breathe, not letting her utter a word of refusal or persuasion. He wanted nothing more than to use his body to tell her, "Stop talking nonsense, Yu Jinnan, but I love you! Yu Jinnan, I love you! What can I do about it?"

Fortunately, he was no longer satisfied with just kissing. While he was holding her up, she was able to breathe deeply. The two people's lungs and hearts, pressed tightly together, were beating violently.

The thin bed creaked as he moved, and she was worried it would suddenly collapse, trapping them both in the ground. It didn't matter if they did, since he had her so tightly wrapped around him, it would be better if they died together.

Perhaps it was because the noise they had just made was too loud, especially because she couldn't help but scream during her climax. When everything calmed down and they lay together, hugging each other and catching their breath, they heard two whistles from outside the room. They couldn't help but hug each other and smile bitterly.

"I will work two jobs in the future and try to rent a better house so that you won't suffer like this anymore." Luo Hao stroked her sweaty hair and said apologetically. His place only had a shared bathroom for them, and there was no place for her to take a proper bath.

Yu Jinnan broke away from his body and said, "It's okay. Don't make things difficult for yourself. I don't care about it. Besides, I won't do this again. Today—it was another accident."

Luo Hao immediately pulled her back, gripped her waist tightly and said angrily, "Yu Jinnan, what do you want?"

She was rarely evasive and said, "I, I have a boyfriend."

"That's a shitty boyfriend of yours!" Luo Hao was about to explode again at the mention of that golden-haired scumbag. "I won't allow him to bully you like that! No business is worth humiliating yourself like this. Don't you claim to love freedom? How can you call it love of freedom to compromise like this?"

Jinnan angrily pushed his hand away and said, "I don't want you to care!" Then she picked up the clothes that were thrown on the ground, put them on one by one, and prepared to leave.

Luo Hao also shouted at her: "Then don't bother me anymore, no matter what happens!"

Yu Jinnan glared at him fiercely and left angrily.

*~*~*~*~*~*~

Two days later, Yu Chuanbei called Luo Hao to ask about Yu Jinnan's situation.

"What happened to Jinnan?" Luo Hao asked worriedly.

Yu Chuanbei was also confused: "Aren't you two together? I couldn't contact her and thought she was with you. Didn't you call me overseas in the middle of the night the day before yesterday to say that you two had rekindled your old love?"

"What happened to her?" Luo Hao's worry grew even worse. He picked up his coat and left the private cocktail party in Qu Qiaoqiao's dungeon.

Yu Chuanbei realized that he was just bragging the day before yesterday, so he said, "She's fine, she seems to have a fever. I called her yesterday and her voice didn't sound right. I wanted to check on her again today, but I called her a few times and no one answered, so I found you. This has happened before. She doesn't check her phone when she's busy or attending an event. I'll call her back later."

"Tell me her home address." Luo Hao's face was gloomy, and he was completely worried.

*~*~*~*~*~*~

When Yu Jinnan opened the door in her pajamas, she saw Luo Hao and asked in surprise, "Why are you here?" It was drizzling outside, and he had obviously come in a hurry without an umbrella.

Seeing her standing in front of him well, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. He leaned over and stroked her forehead. Seeing that her temperature was normal, he said, "I heard from Yu Chuanbei that you were sick, so I came to see you."

"I'm fine, don't worry about me." Yu Jinnan said angrily.

Luo Hao, however, was somewhat indignant at her ungrateful behavior. "When Yu Chuanbei told me he couldn't contact you, my first reaction was that that golden-haired guy had done something to you. Aren't there a lot of recent cases of foreign partners being murdered and their bodies destroyed?"

"You're really imaginative." Yu Jinnan curled her lips, expressing strong disapproval. But she stepped aside and said, "Come in quickly. You look soaking wet. Are you going to get sick too?"

After Luo Hao came in, she closed the door, picked up her phone, found Yu Chuanbei's chat interface, and sent him a voice message: "I'm fine now, don't worry. Luo Hao and I have nothing to do with each other, don't talk to him about me anymore."

Luo Hao glared at her. After she put down her phone, the two of them confronted each other for a few seconds. Then she looked away and went to the bathroom to get a dry towel for him.

"I ran here for you, help me wipe it." He arched his back like a naughty boy and put his hedgehog-like hair in front of her.

"Wipe it!" Yu Jinnan rubbed his hair as if to vent his anger, avoiding only his wounds and being rude to other parts of his body.

After venting their anger enough, the two of them actually burst into laughter, like two simple fools.

Ding Dong, the doorbell rang again. Yu Jinnan jumped in surprise, then lowered her voice and said, "It's my boyfriend this time. I thought it was him just now. He said he was coming back to get the suitcase for his business trip. Can you, can you hide..."

Seeing her trembling, Luo Hao couldn't bear to embarrass her, so he said, "Where are you hiding?"

Jin Nan quickly grabbed his hand and took him to a set of wardrobes in the corner of the bedroom's cloakroom, and asked him to hide in them. Then she composed herself and ran to open the door.

Luo Hao heard the conversation between the man and Jin Nan in French through the cabinet door. He asked her what took so long, and she said it was because she was not feeling well. However, he did not ask about her physical condition, but asked directly where the suitcase was. Then she heard Jin Nan's hurried footsteps coming over, and he opened the cabinet door next to him and squatted down to search for the suitcase.

Luo Hao saw that Jin Nan was so nervous that she didn't even care about the loosening of her nightgown, and her breasts were mostly exposed. He couldn't help but kneel down, pinching her chin and kissing her slightly trembling lips. She was so frightened that she almost cried out, but this guy pushed harder and harder, until the man outside shouted impatiently again, and then he was willing to let go.
