Chapter 53 Chapter 53 Rest

"What are you doing?" Jiang Yiyun was a little unhappy about being dragged directly into the master bedroom by Cheng Shuze, leaving Cheng Shuyi alone in the living room. "Your sister is being bullied, and this is how you, as a brother, react?"

"What kind of reaction do I want? Jiang Yiyun, don't spoil her too much." Cheng Shuze pressed his brows with some dissatisfaction, "She is no longer a three-year-old child. She knows how to protect herself."

"What do you know? Do you know how complicated the circle is? How powerful Shu Yi is? How can you not be careful at a time like this? When you really get bullied, it will be too late to regret it."

"First of all, she has her own bodyguards, and I put pocket money into her account every month. There's no way she'd be bullied. Just look at her making such a fuss just now, and you know there's nothing wrong."

How could he not know that Cheng Shuyi had entered the entertainment industry to film? At first, he intended to let Yunyi directly assign a team to her, but Cheng Shuyi refused it, saying that there was no point in being controlled by others. Now she pretends to be pitiful in front of Jiang Yiyu to gain sympathy, which shows how cold and unkind he is.

It’s really a waste of so much pocket money that has doubled in value.

Jiang Yiyun narrowed her eyes and muttered, "It's a blessing that nothing happened. Why are you speaking in such a regretful tone?"

"You have to show some concern..."

"Jiang Yiyun," Cheng Shuze interrupted her, "You called me back just to talk about this?"

The quiet wall clock shifted slightly, the minute and hour hands overlapped and separated, gradually sliding into a deep, bottomless darkness.

It was very quiet inside and outside the room, and there was no sound of the door opening or closing. Perhaps Cheng Shuyi knew that she could not resist her dictatorial brother's decision to choose between the two options, and she definitely could not sleep with Sister Jiang tonight, so she found a guest room to rest.

Through the curtains that were not fully drawn, the distant moonlight lengthened the overlapping figures. Cheng Shuze's shadow enveloped Jiang Yiyu's entire body, pressing down bit by bit.

"Didn't you miss me?"

The extremely close distance and the slight movement of their lips while talking made the temperature in the room gradually rise.

Being stared at by Cheng Shuze with such a focused gaze, Jiang Yiyu felt a little uncomfortable and wanted to turn away. She took a step back, but her back touched the cold wall.

"No," Jiang Yiyu spoke softly, the two words floating in the air.

Cheng Shuze lowered his face even lower, with his face slightly tilted, almost in a kissing posture, exchanging each other's breathing frequencies.

"Really?"

They were too close, as if the other person would kiss her in the next second, making things completely out of control. Jiang Yiyu's eyes wandered and she unconsciously stared at the wall clock that was moving little by little, and repeated her previous answer.

"Really not."

It seemed that even her heartbeat stopped for a moment, and Jiang Yiyu's long eyelashes trembled slightly. She thought Cheng Shuze would kiss her, but after a moment's pause, the heat covering her body disappeared, and Cheng Shuze stood up.

"Well, I thought Miss would miss me after not seeing you for so many days, but now it seems that she really doesn't." Cheng Shuze said nonchalantly. The almost ambiguous atmosphere just now disappeared without a trace as he stood up and spoke in a calm tone.

Cheng Shuze straightened his sleeves and said concisely, "Let's go."

Jiang Yiyun subconsciously asked, "Where are we going?"

"Go back to the company and continue working overtime." Cheng Shuze said frankly, "You asked me to come back because of Cheng Shuyi. Now that I'm sure nothing serious has happened to her, I have to go."

No, why leave? Jiang Yiyu looked up at the clock.

It's already 1:50 in the morning. If he goes back to work overtime at this time, he doesn't know when he will finish. Cheng Shuze won't rest.

"I'm leaving now. Go to bed early."

Seeing that Cheng Shuze was serious and put his hand on the door handle and was about to go out, Jiang Yiyun subconsciously stopped him: "Wait, don't go."

"It's too late. What work must be finished tonight?"

Now the situation was reversed. Jiang Yiyu grabbed Cheng Shuze's arm to prevent him from leaving the house. Staring into his eyes, Jiang Yiyu clearly saw the fatigue surging in Cheng Shuze's eyes.

"When did you rest in the past few days?" Jiang Yiyu's tone became serious.

Cheng Shuze narrowed his eyes and thought for a moment: "Five o'clock? Or six o'clock?"

What’s the difference between five and six o’clock? Aren’t we all staying up all night? Cheng Shuze should just work hard.

Jiang Yiyu grabbed Cheng Shuze's collar and dragged him towards the bed. Cheng Shuze cooperated with her and was forced to sit on the bed.

"Go to bed right now and don't work overtime."

Cheng Shuze sat on the bed and looked down at Jiang Yiyun, saying slowly, "Don't be so nervous. It's just overtime. It's nothing..."

Cheng Shuze stopped talking.

Jiang Yiyu pressed his neck and kissed him.

Almost immediately, Jiang Yiyun pushed Cheng Shuze's shoulders, causing him to fall backward onto the large bed covered with solid-colored sheets. His wrists tightly wrapped around her waist, and Jiang Yiyun immediately lost her balance and fell into Cheng Shuze's arms. In an instant, she fell without a foothold, and in a panic, she knelt on either side of Cheng Shuze's waist with her legs spread apart.

Cheng Shuze held the back of Jiang Yiyu's head with his left hand to deepen the kiss that was just a light touch at the beginning, and his right hand stroked from the waist to the hip, pressing down a little bit, so that the waists and hips of both of them were pressed tightly against each other, and the burning heat radiated outward continuously.

The air was completely plundered. When the first long and deep kiss ended, the strong and slender legs were bent under the clothes. Cheng Shuze was about to turn over, but his slender five fingers had just pushed aside the clothes and touched the skin of the waist and hips when a torn quilt covered the unclear entanglement between the two.

"That's enough," Jiang Yiyu's breathing was particularly obvious, "Go to sleep."

"I'm just listening to you and going to sleep." Cheng Shuze emphasized.

"Lie down and be quiet." Jiang Yiyu slapped away the hand that was still ready to move.

Originally, they were quite tired after a whole shift, but now they were in high spirits thanks to the kiss just now. Cheng Shuze refused, and Jiang Yiyu forced him to rest immediately and not to do any more intense actions. There was a stalemate between the two.

"Jiang Yiyu, I'm a man. Do you think I can still sleep now?" As Jiang Yiyu requested, he lay flat on his back and pulled up the quilt. Cheng Shuze held the sweet and soft beauty in his arms. He could only look but not move. He felt uncomfortable and spoke in a resentful tone.

"Be quiet and shut up, calm down, you'll fall asleep soon." Her original intention of that light kiss was to comfort Cheng Shuze so that he could lie down and rest immediately. Judging from his condition, he seemed to be relying on willpower to hold on. If he didn't rest, something bad would happen sooner or later. Who knew that Cheng Shuze would react so strongly to a kiss? She was almost exhausted but still had the energy to continue.

She stopped quickly enough. The little physiological reaction would disappear automatically in a while. Jiang Yiyu asked Cheng Shuze to lie down quietly. After a while, she found that Cheng Shuze's hand was groping her waist, and his breathing was still very obvious.

"Can't you sleep while I lie next to you?" Jiang Yiyu sat up. Anyway, Cheng Shuze had to get some real rest tonight, and she would never allow him to continue making trouble.

"I'll go to the next room and you can sleep alone."

"I can't sleep alone." Cheng Shuze took Jiang Yiyun's hand, his fingertips sliding from the wrist to the palm, overlapping the five fingers tightly clasped, "Just once. You know I can't fall asleep if I hold it in now."

"Impossible." Jiang Yiyu sighed. It was just a fart. Did he think she was stupid? If he really started, Cheng Shuze would not stop easily. She could forget about resting tonight.

Jiang Yiyu bit her lip, hesitated for a moment, and finally lay down and whispered in Cheng Shuze's ear: "If you rest now, tomorrow morning..."

Cheng Shuze's suppressed breathing paused for a second, his inky pupils gloomy in the darkness, and finally he let Jiang Yiyu pull the quilt up safely, signaling to enter an exceptionally peaceful night.

Finally, a forced silence fell in the room.

After a while, Jiang Yiyu, who had closed her eyes while being held in someone's arms, opened her eyes again.

"Why aren't you asleep yet?"

"Damn it," Cheng Shuze sat up, even more irritated than before. "Your words had almost made me feel better, but now I can't take it anymore."

Jiang Yiyun: "..."

Cheng Shuze resigned himself to his fate and got out of bed and went into the bathroom. In a moment, the sound of shower water could be heard in the bathroom.

When I woke up, there was a dimness in the room, but judging from the bright colors coming through the thick curtains from outside, it was already late.

"Awake?" The hand on the waist instantly withdrew, and the man's lazy voice came from behind.

After tossing and turning for a long time last night, she couldn't hold on and fell asleep after Cheng Shuze went to the bathroom. She had no memory of what happened after falling asleep. However, the bloodshot eyes of Cheng Shuze looked much better today, so he must have had a good rest last night.

Jiang Yiyu wanted to get up, but was pulled back. Cheng Shuze looked at her intently and raised his eyebrows.

"What?"

"You said that last night."

"What did I say last night..." Jiang Yiyun paused. Last night, in order to let Cheng Shuze rest quickly, she seemed to have taken the initiative to propose a condition. In the middle of the night, she didn't notice it. In the bright morning, Jiang Yiyun subconsciously said, "I was just saying it yesterday..."

Cheng Shuze narrowed his eyes dangerously.

The quilt was pulled up with the movement, and Jiang Yiyu could see Cheng Shuze's naked chest and shoulders. What's more, the heat from under the quilt was reminding her of everything.

"The book is still there," Jiang Yiyu struggled in vain, "If I get up too late..."

"So, you'd better move faster." Cheng Shuze lay down lazily. "I'm just fulfilling your promise from yesterday. There won't be any other unnecessary actions. But if you plan to deny it, I don't mind."

If Jiang Yiyu kept her word last night, he wouldn't have to make any more trouble. If she planned to cheat, there was still plenty of time to waste in the morning.

If time could go back, Jiang Yiyu would like to go back to yesterday and stop herself from making random remarks late at night.

Forget it, all those years of dating weren’t in vain.

This...is actually nothing.

I made up my mind to finish it quickly and save myself the trouble.
