Chapter 36 Numb.36 Keep liking it

Xu Wu was pulled over, but their bodies did not touch; there was a shallow gap between them.

Her wrists were easily twisted behind her back by Jie Ying, making it impossible for her to move. This person usually looked thin and weak, but his strength was surprisingly great, even carrying an undeniable air of authority.

Xu Wu felt a chill run down her spine as the spot on her right cheek where she had been touched appeared to give her goosebumps, and her shoulders unconsciously hunched over.

The warmth of his lips dissipated almost instantly within two or three seconds of him leaving, but the moment he pressed against her, a rich aroma of freesia began to waft out.

It was hard to say whether the aura came from her or Jieying, but it instantly enveloped the two of them.

It was as if invisible lotus threads were weaving between them, not only imprisoning her in place, but also causing Jieying's mark to fall in an instant.

It's very itchy.

Xu Wu pursed her lips, wanting to wipe away the kiss on her face, but her hands were restrained, leaving her helpless. She could only let the itching sensation run rampant, sliding from her cheek to her earlobe, from her ear canal to her heart.

A dense, tingling sensation spread through her. As Jie Ying leaned closer, strands of his hair brushed against Xu Wu's collarbone, drawing her body forward unconsciously.

It was a strange feeling; my lower back felt numb and weak.

My legs feel so weak, but my body is screaming that it's not enough.

Not enough, far from enough, we want more.

Xu Wu closed her eyes, suppressing her trembling body, and bit her lower lip tightly.

She shouldn't think that way.

In the instant she felt ashamed of her own thoughts, her gaze, though feigning remorse, fell on the mole at the corner of Jie Ying's lips, then shifted slightly away—

His lips were so red and moist, beautifully tinged with blood.

It's temptation, it's seduction.

The only thing I'm not willing to do is accept it.

His breath and soft panting sprayed onto the side of her neck, where goosebumps quickly rose.

"Wait, wait a minute..." Xu Wu struggled briefly, but was quickly subdued by the other party. Her chest heaved with heavy breathing, and when she looked up again, her eyes were misty with wisps of fog.

If you look even closer, it's tears.

Before she could finish speaking, she was bitten hard on the side of her neck.

"Hiss--" Xu Wu gasped, the pain of sharp teeth piercing her skin made her tears flow freely, hanging precariously on her long, thick eyelashes.

The skin there was tormented until it was red and painful.

These were things left behind by Jie Ying. Xu Wu's shoulders trembled uncontrollably.

Ouch, that hurts! Are you a dog?

No one had ever bitten her like that before.

"put......"

Xu Wu's low voice was completely devoid of its usual scolding and disgust; now it was just a murmur. Her lower abdomen felt heavy, and she gritted her teeth to keep herself standing.

After a while, Jieying's teeth finally decided to leave her neck.

The moment the teeth detached from the skin, the saliva left on the teeth marks was quickly cooled by the air, causing Xu Wu to shiver and still feel pain.

"That's much better." A deep, slightly hoarse voice sounded in Xu Wu's ear, making her ears tighten and her nerves tense up even more.

The next second, a wet kiss landed on the teeth marks on the side of her neck, and then a little further away, kissed her neck.

Xu Wu's mind went completely blank for a moment, her pupils widened, and she was completely at a loss.

A terrifying blush took hold almost within two seconds, covering her cheeks and earlobes, and spreading like a virus to her neck.

The area where she had been kissed spread a heat that Xu Wu could not resist, and this heat immediately traveled to her lower abdomen, making her feel sore and astringent.

On the other hand, Xie Xiang didn't notice Xu Wu's reaction; he was looking at the marks left on Xu Wu's neck.

The lingering, intoxicating scent he had caught when Xu Wu entered had largely dissipated. For a moment, he genuinely wanted to hold her tightly, kissing away every last trace of the disgusting smell that clung to her body.

But no, she'll get angry.

The teeth mark on Xu Wu's neck was very deep, so deep that it was reddish. It wasn't a question of how long it would take to heal; it was a bruise.

If you bite hard, how long will the bruise last?

One week, three weeks, or even forever?

Even if it only brings Xu Wu pain...

That doesn't matter, it's better than leaving nothing behind.

"Is that enough?" a cold voice rang out.

It no longer carries the allure of being bewitched.

Jie Ying snapped out of her daze and was about to get up to see Xu Wu's expression when, unexpectedly, Xu Wu used all her strength to completely shake off his restraining hands during his moment of relaxation, and then, while he was still in shock, she pushed him hard with both hands.

Caught off guard, Jie Ying lost his balance and fell to the ground. His palms scraped against the ground while bearing the weight of his body, causing him to groan. Pain and numbness crept up from his palms, and his arms could barely support him. The bag fell to the side.

"Are you sick?" Xu Wu rubbed the spot where he had been bitten in frustration. When she touched it with her fingers and felt the unfathomable bite mark, her face turned even uglier. She was so angry that she wanted to throw something at his face.

Then he put his touched fingers under his nose and sniffed. There was not much freesia scent left. All he could smell was slightly oxidized saliva with a strong odor. His face turned cold, and he wiped his hands on his clothes more than ten times before he stopped.

"Or, perhaps..." Jie Ying wasn't angry at her statement; instead, she smiled and met Xu Wu's disgusted and annoyed gaze as she said those words.

It was very pleasant, and I knew Xu Wu wanted to punch him.

But so what?

He tilted his head back, trying to meet Xu Wu's agitated eyes, and stated the facts: "Just now, Wu also..."

"Don't say it!" Xu Wu interrupted him, glaring at him through gritted teeth: "Shut up."

Upon hearing this, Jieying sighed softly, then simply sat cross-legged in that position and said, "Is Wu unhappy?"

Why should I be happy? Would you be happy if you got bitten?

Jie Ying raised the corners of her lips, and the mole on her face lifted with the movement of her muscles.

Xu Wu felt that it took countless moments of self-control to keep her head from looking away.

Just as she had previously thought -

Jieying is beautiful in every way.

She noticed the mole the moment she saw him; it was the perfect finishing touch to his face.

She now understands why some people are so obsessed with moles, because she's started to want to touch one herself.

I wanted to reach out and press it there, kneading it, and open my mouth to rub and gnaw at it with my teeth.

The mole is located closest to the corner of the lip; if you kiss it...

Xu Wu snapped out of her reverie, and when she realized what she had been thinking, an unnatural look flashed across her face. She coughed twice, suppressing the itch that was nagging at her.

Before she could even think of a way to answer, Jieying relentlessly pressed her for an answer: "Then, so, who did Wu see?"

"Is this important?" Xu Wu crossed her arms and glanced at him.

Jie Ying looked at her calmly, as if the alluring passion he usually possessed was hidden deep within him.

Without any lust.

After a long while, Xu Wu heard a soft "hmm".

“…Shang Xu.” She turned her head away. “He only said a few words.”

The emphasis was placed on the last two words, "而已" (that's all).

"That's why it smells so bad," Jie Ying commented.

Upon hearing this, Xu Wu surprisingly glanced at him, frowning as she asked, "Do you have a problem with him?"

Upon hearing this, Jie Ying's face immediately turned cold. He clenched and unclenched his hands on his knees, and the atmosphere around him was somber.

Xu Wu's words were blatantly in defense of the man.

Ask him if he has a problem with that guy?

Not that bad.

Does that guy even deserve to have a problem with him?

Does he deserve Xu Wu's fierce protection?

Protecting one's own.

Suddenly realizing the word, Jie Ying felt a pang of pain in her teeth, suppressed the throbbing in her heart, and took a few deep breaths.

"I have no objection," he replied expressionlessly, without looking at Xu Wu.

That's really strange.

A strange thought popped into Xu Wu's mind -

Jieying seems to be... having a tantrum.

He turned his head away, looking down at something, much like some felines who, when wronged, lie listlessly in a corner, especially with their ears drooping down in their low spirits.

Xu Wu had a strange feeling in her heart. Was they actually having a tiff?

“It’s obvious.” She crouched down to look Jie Ying in the eye, and as she moved, the teeth marks from where Jie Ying had been bitten were faintly visible beneath her collar.

She asked, "What's bothering you?"

After she finished speaking, she waited quietly for Jieying's reply.

She actually knew the answer herself, but she didn't want to keep it to herself, so she chose to let the person in front of her say it out loud.

I must say it, without missing a single word.

After a moment, she heard a sigh so soft it was almost imperceptible, but Jieying still didn't turn around to look at her.

"I...I'm not angry." He finally turned his head slightly, and because of the movement, his bangs were a little messy, revealing bright eyes that reflected Xu Wu's face. He said, "Yes..."

He paused here, then abruptly fell silent.

"What is it?" Xu Wu asked.

"Does Fog like him that kind of thing?" he suddenly asked this baffling question.

Xu Wu was completely confused: "What did you say?"

“Face,” he said bluntly.

"...Face?" Xu Wu stared at him, scrutinizing Jie Ying's superior features from head to toe, then gave a brief laugh and asked, "Your face?"

Jie Xiang seemed to have heard an extremely satisfying answer; he completely ignored the blush on her earlobes. The next second, he grasped Xu Wu's hand again, guiding it forward.

She touched his face.

His thumb brushed against the corner of his lips almost imperceptibly, causing a dark and unfathomable look to appear in Jie Ying's eyes.

It's so cool.

This was Xu Wu's first reaction.

Before she could even react, Jieying's soft voice gently brushed against her ear.

"If you only like this worthless face, then... can you continue to like it?"

Xu Wu's heart skipped a beat, and the fingertips that were touching his face trembled, causing the skin to sink in slightly.

So soft.

She opened her mouth.
