Chapter 55 Addiction

The Cullinan stopped at the front door, and You Yue took her hand and pressed his fingerprint on the door.

After entering the room, they shared a lingering kiss by the door.

You Yue hung up the suit jacket with one hand, let Cheng Hexi sit on the entryway stool, squatted down, put his arm around her ankle, and helped her take off her high heels.

Her ankles were slender and beautiful, and her calves had exquisite lines.

These ankles have been handled so many times, yet they still haven't become desensitized.

Every time You Yue's bony hand touched that spot on her skin, she felt a slight itch.

Perhaps it's because we haven't seen each other for a few days, but this time it's even more so.

"What are you hiding from?" The man raised his eyes and spoke in a low voice.

Reaching out to press down on her calf, You Yue put her shoes into the cabinet and looked up at her.

"Where did I hide?"

Cheng Hexi is a very insightful person. Once she makes a decision, she will not back down. She can still flirt back and forth in the moment.

She leaned down and gently tugged at the man's tie, her hand slowly sliding up his Adam's apple. She smiled and said, "I was afraid you wouldn't be able to resist."

You Yue knew he couldn't refute it, so he didn't look away and chuckled softly.

He frankly admitted, "I'm just completely infatuated with you."

Cheng Hexi felt a little embarrassed by his actions, so she leaned over and rubbed her nose against his.

Their breaths mingled.

You Yue bent down, his back muscles bulging slightly under his shirt, then suddenly picked the person up and carried them upstairs.

Back in familiar surroundings, Cheng Hexi was in an extremely relaxed state of mind. She was not panicked when her body suddenly lifted into the air, and she put her arm around the back of the man's neck.

Remembering something, she suddenly said, "My suitcase is in the walk-in closet, I haven't unpacked it yet. Didn't you want to see me wear that purple dress? I'll put it on for you now."

You Yue remained silent for a moment, then said in a low voice, "After flying for more than ten hours, you still have this kind of thought? Is it intentional?"

After he finished speaking, he patted her lower back.

The blow wasn't heavy, but the warning was clear.

Cheng Hexi thought of how You Yue looked in bed last time, so she remained silent.

She's not sleepy right now, but she's really tired.

After taking a shower together, You Yue let her lean against him and patiently dried her hair.

Cheng Hexi leaned against his strong chest muscles as if she had no bones, and suddenly had an idea, saying, "I want to cut my hair short."

You Yue paused only briefly before letting the warm air from the hairdryer flow over her hair. He asked cooperatively, "How short do you want it cut?"

Her hair is now almost waist-length.

“Up to the shoulder.” Cheng Hexi gestured to indicate the approximate location, tilted her head slightly, and said with a hint of surprise, “I thought you would stop me.”

The sound of the hairdryer stopped, and You Yue leaned down to kiss the back of her neck. His voice was deep and sexy: "Why would I stop you?"

Cheng Hexi's idea was just a sudden whim; she hadn't even considered it a quarter of an hour earlier.

"Short hair might not look as good as long hair for wedding photos."

You Yue unplugged the hairdryer and asked her, "Have you ever cut your hair short?"

Cheng Hexi shook her head.

In her memory, she had beautiful long hair since she was a child.

“Well, go ahead and cut it if you want,” You Yue said with a slight smile. “You won’t know how beautiful you are with short hair if you don’t cut it.”

Upon hearing this, Cheng Hexi burst out laughing.

You Yue had rarely seen her smile so brightly before. He placed the hairdryer on the bedside table, got back into bed, and hugged her from behind.

"You have such a sweet tongue, Mr. You."

You Yue gently lifted the chin of the person in his arms, leaned over from behind to kiss her, accepted this statement, and then said, "Only you think so."

Thinking back to You Yue's behavior when they first met and his general reputation, Cheng Hexi felt this was true, but she was still pleased by his words.

She knew that wanting to be unique in someone's heart meant falling in love.

-

The kiss started tenderly, from the tips of their noses touching to their lips being sucked, but it changed as it went on.

The room, which was kept at a constant temperature and humidity, suddenly became hot and dry, like a complication of arousal.

The two of them smelled of the same shower gel and were scrambling for each other's oxygen.

The next second, You Yue put his arm around her waist and laid her flat on the soft and comfortable bed.

As she moved, Cheng Hexi's robe came undone, revealing her fair and rounded shoulders.

You Yue's hand slid over her fair and delicate legs, parting the hem of her skirt.

The room lights were on at their dimmest setting, yet we could still see each other clearly.

This was the first time Cheng Hexi had been so intimate with him when she was so certain of her feelings, and she couldn't control her emotions.

The man's lips lingered downwards.

A moment later, her fair legs draped over You Yue's shoulders, her toes curling comfortably. Lost in pleasure in the dim light, she shed a few tears and ultimately lost all sense of time.

When she came to her senses, Cheng Hexi realized that she had just let go of the man's short black hair, her legs could no longer support her weight, and her body was still trembling slightly.

You Yue leaned down and looked at her.

The man's slicked-back hair, styled all day, became smooth after his shower, softening his aloof and refined air, yet it also became disheveled during their recent intimacy.

Having just done that, Cheng Hexi lay on the bed, and when their eyes met from this angle, she was almost overwhelmed.

She closed her eyes and turned her head away.

Her whole body was flushed pink.

You Yue helped her with a simple cleaning, then took care of herself, and finally returned to the bedside to touch her face.

"Go to sleep, it's late."

The comfort and satisfaction that comes after passion fades makes one drowsy.

Cheng Hexi was indeed sleepy, but she held onto the corner of You Yue's bathrobe and didn't move, saying, "I'll help you, you..."

You Yue bent over, the collar of his bathrobe disheveled from the previous movement, revealing his beautifully defined pectoral muscles.

He chuckled and asked, "Help me with what? Hmm?"

He brushed aside a stray strand of Cheng Hexi's hair and whispered, "Go to sleep, you're exhausted."

Cheng Hexi closed her eyes, placed her hand on the back of the man's neck, and leaned in to kiss him.

Because he couldn't see, the kiss landed on the corner of the man's lips.

"Then...why don't you take care of yourself tonight?" She smiled with her eyes closed.

"Don't worry about me." You Yue smiled, kissed the tip of her nose, and then got up.

Cheng Hexi suddenly tightened her grip on his bathrobe.

You Yue moved closer to her as she wished, and was immediately kissed.

Her long, slender hands untied the man's robe and slid down his warm chest.

She moved boldly, but her eyelashes kept fluttering, and she didn't even look at him.

You Yue kissed her lips, pressed down her mischievous hands, and suddenly said, "We're in a relationship. I did that just now to please you, not to expect you to reciprocate. You don't need to do anything."

Cheng Hexi slipped her hand between the man's fingers, bringing a burning sensation.

Their breaths were hot, and the night breeze outside the window disturbed them gently.

She opened her shimmering eyes, looked up at You Yue, ignored his words, and said softly, "Like you, I've always been a good student. I don't know how, can you teach me..."

You Yue closed his eyes and bit her lower lip.

He covered her fingers again.

...

You Yue tore off the bed sheet, and the two switched to sleeping on their sides.

The moonlight was soft and gentle, and the summer night was peaceful.

He took the remote control and pulled the blackout curtains up one layer.

Cheng Hexi was really sleepy, tired, and her hands were sore.

When You Yue got into bed, she rolled over, snuggled against his warm body, and draped her arm over his strong waist.

He smiled and pulled the person closer to him.

People tend to forget their roots when they are happy, and You Yue is no exception; he even tries to act innocent after receiving benefits.

"Am I a good teacher?" he whispered in her ear.

As the passion subsided, Cheng Hexi, her face flushed, asked him, "How did I do in my studies?"

She felt a surge of heat as she thought of the man's sensual breaths in her ear.

You Yue smiled; the physical pleasure and the almost transcendent psychological pleasure he had just experienced were still stimulating his senses.

He laughed, "Our Hexi learns everything very quickly."

"..."

Cheng Hexi ran her fingers over her burning face, closed her eyes, and ignored him.

You Yue kissed her hair and said, "You just changed the subject. Were you doing all this in exchange for something, hmm?"

She remained silent for a moment, then suddenly opened her eyes when she realized what You Yue was thinking.

It was only then that she realized that although You Yue had always appeared to be in control and unhurried, waiting for her response and to be moved, he was not actually determined to have her.

Therefore, he would think about their relationship and her motivations.

Perhaps, without her knowing, she was the most difficult question for him to answer.

"I understand—" Her drowsiness dissipated, her mind became clearer, and she spoke as quickly as she did when she was working.

"Last time I gave you roses, did you also feel that it was because you gave me flowers first and I was returning the favor?"

You Yue didn't answer directly, but said, "You bought me a shirt when you were on a business trip in Hong Kong because I gave you a diamond necklace, right?"

Although they were discussing this somewhat "dangerous" topic of their relationship, the two still held each other, sharing each other's body heat.

"Yes and no." Cheng Hexi recalled, "I wasn't familiar with you at that time, and I did feel that I needed to return the favor. But I bought that shirt because I saw it and thought it would suit you, and by the time I realized it, I had already bought it, that's all."

Having just been intimate, the sound of his breathing or laughter sent shivers down Cheng Hexi's spine.

She shifted her body slightly and said, "I sent you flowers simply to appease you."

You Yue rested his chin on the head of the person in his arms and whispered, "I'm telling you this to tell you that whatever I do for you is what I do willingly, and you don't need to respond to everything."

"I want you to be relaxed and happy when you're in a relationship with me."

Cheng Hexi understood what he meant.

“Then I’ll tell you too,” she said earnestly, “I’m responding to you because I like you just as much.”

She lifted her chin slightly, allowing the man's gentle, lingering kiss to land on the tip of her nose.

As she drifted off to sleep, Cheng Hexi remembered the message Chi Yu'an had sent her yesterday and asked You Yue, "Yu'an's birthday is next week. I don't know her as well as you do, what does she like?"

"Hmm? What did she tell you?"

"Yu'an said she moved to a new house and took the opportunity to invite her friends over for a party on her birthday. With birthday gifts and housewarming gifts all together, she had to prepare something special."

"Can't we prepare together?" You Yue said, "How about sending a car?"

Cheng Hexi was amused by him: "Can you be serious for once..."

She insisted on giving two gifts, so You Yue went along with it.

However, he didn't really know his cousin very well, so he couldn't offer any advice.

After thinking for a while, Cheng Hexi had an idea, and then drowsiness came over her.

Before falling asleep, she nuzzled the man's shoulder and suddenly said, "I haven't seen you smoke in a long time."

You Yue was surprised that she suddenly brought up this topic. After a slight pause, she simply said, "I've quit."

"Hmm?" She was a little surprised: "How long have you been abstaining?"

"Not long ago." You Yue thought for a moment, it should have been about a month.

There wasn't a specific turning point in this matter, so I gradually stopped touching it.

Needless to say, Cheng Hexi knew that You Yue did this because she didn't like the smell of smoke.

No one can remain indifferent when someone cherishes and values ​​them so much.

He has always had good living habits and no bad habits; this time, he hasn't even smoked.

Feeling the man's fingertips brush against her cheek, she whispered, "Then you don't have any addictions anymore."

You Yue leaned down and kissed her fair neck.

He said, "I've developed a new addiction."
