Chapter 20 Chapter 20 She exudes a radiance that cannot be ignored...
Her lips were almost sealed. Xing Kui was now a skin-craving person. No matter how hard Zhou Jing kissed her, she shouldn't resist and should even be excited to explore more, right?
No! She can't act it out!
"Hmm." She wanted to try to play a character with dermatitis who "resists but wants, but the resistance prevails." However, because the performance was too difficult, she gave up with tears in her eyes after half a second.
Forget it, forget it. In life, one must learn to make peace with oneself. And actually, it's quite exciting. Everyone wants to try a passionate kiss every now and then. I can accept that. God, Zhou Jing wouldn't kiss me this hard every time, would he?
Xing Kui had difficulty breathing due to the entanglement of lips and tongue. She leaned on the pillow to endure it and tried to hide back uncomfortably. A hand was placed on the back of her head, preventing her from hiding successfully, but the five fingers changed from clasping to caressing.
After an unknown amount of time, a gentle and warm voice touched her lips and softly whispered in her ear: "Have you taken enough medicine?"
What do you think? Xing Kui desperately wanted to nod, but then she thought of her thirsty skin personality, which should have become more and more thirsty the closer she got. She shouldn't nod, and she couldn't say it. She looked at Zhou Jing with a pitiful look of grievance, her eyelashes already wet.
Zhou Jing stopped just a hair's breadth from her lips, his lenses blurred by the pressure of her skin in the deep kiss. Her lips, so close to him, gasped, "Hmm, hmm." The hand holding the back of her head loosened slightly. "Have you taken the medicine prescribed by the hospital? I don't taste any bitterness."
The sound of anger made her ears itch: "I, I forgot, don't be angry!" Seizing the opportunity when Zhou Jing let go, Xing Kui dodged backwards, folding her hands to block her red and hot mouth, "I'll go eat it right away, don't feed me medicine anymore, at least today!"
If you are afraid, you should stay away from these brothers. One day, two days, three days, how long can you endure it?
The heat left Xing Kui, and Zhou Jing stood up, blocking the dim light that streamed through the blinds. He raised the back of his hand, which showed distinct veins, and elegantly wiped the moisture from his lips. "Let's get up and have dinner first. I brought chicken soup. Take the medicine half an hour after dinner."
"Is it, is it the medicine prescribed by the hospital?" Xing Kui was nervous, her heart was beating fast. She slowly moved from the center of the bed to the edge of the bed. The quilt rose and fell, and the phone that fell on the quilt slid to her side.
Zhou Jing picked up her phone, put it in her hand, and looked at her with a gentle and soothing gaze: "Xing Kui, you are sick, you shouldn't be afraid to seek medical treatment."
What I mean is, after dinner I have to take more than just the medicine prescribed by the hospital - Mom, save me!
The moonlight is yellow, and the flowing clouds are like a blanket covering the stars, shyly blocking the eyes of the night sky.
Zhou Jing walked out of Xing Kui's room and into the study opposite. He leaned against the closed door, his steady breathing becoming uncontrollable and rapid, his chest rising and falling behind his gray knitted sweater.
Xing Kui had her own ideas and was unwilling to be controlled, so she secretly fought back, or to be more precise, she fought back with her tongue.
In the moist and hot mouth that the eyes cannot see, the soft and slippery flesh timidly but actively rubbed against the side of Zhou Jing's tongue, making his scalp numb and his neck and tailbone tense all the way.
Zhou Jing was then forced to go deeper and harder to intimidate the timid Xing Kui and avoid losing control.
Zhou Jing leaned against the door of the study, panting heavily as he slowly sat down. He bent one of his long legs, let his slender fingers hang limply, and his tongue... brushed against... Damn, the heat surged, and Zhou Jing bit his tiger's mouth.
She used his toothpaste, which was minty and had a cooling mint that could stop the fever.
Blood oozed from his palms, his glasses fogged up, his lips trembled from biting his hand, and his eyes were dark and deep. He put his hands down and fumbled in his pockets for his phone.
[Xu Ye wants to treat Xing Kui to a meal, did you know? ]
The water flowed across his broad back as Li Chengchuan walked out of the shower room, wiping his hair with a black towel. His features were handsome and his figure was the result of proper exercise.
A broad hand picked up the phone. The simple copper-lined crystal chandelier on the ceiling was on. Li Chengchuan was bathed in the light, his eyebrows slightly lowered.
Jingjiang University, male dormitory, the alarm clock on the cluttered table shows eight o'clock in the evening.
"Oh my god! I failed the make-up exam! I have to retake it!" In the four-person dormitory, with a desk under the bed, the boy on the left side of the door turned away from the computer screen with grief, leaned back in his chair and made a phone call. "Hey, baby, what's the new movie coming out in March? Okay, okay, let's go see it this week, muah."
"Sister-in-law! Stop watching the movie! He failed the make-up exam!" the boy opposite shouted, hugging the back of his chair.
"Go away." The boy glared at him, then whispered softly to his girlfriend, "Don't listen to him. Hey? Baby? Baby!"
"Hahahahahaha, I'm telling you, study hard. If you're failing your freshman year, who would want you if you can't graduate?"
"Go to hell, you're just jealous that I'm the only one in our dormitory with a girlfriend." The boy rolled his eyes at him and looked towards the bed by the window on the left. "Hey, Brother Xu, did your girl reply to you?"
What his sister? Xu Ye was lying on the bed and didn't bother to pay attention to him. The air conditioner was on in the room, so he only needed to wear a short-sleeved shirt. The muscles of his arms exposed under the sleeves were strong and full, which made him look more fierce. He could just glance under the bed and make the boys shut up.
My fingers gripped the phone nervously, scratching the edge, anxiously awaiting a response from the person I was attracted to. And she did!
The message pulled Xing Kui out of Zhou Jing's kiss. Her lifesaver would definitely not invite her to dinner for no reason. He was probably asking her to eat. She was ungrateful. He saved her life but only paid her back with a hat and didn't even treat her to a meal. So she replied -
[Sure, I'll treat you. I'll choose the location. Thanks to you, I've been discharged safely. I've just had trouble walking lately. If you don't mind, please wait a week. We can meet then. I'll bring you the hat. Thank you.]
Xu Ye's ears flushed with excitement. He held the phone in both hands, his heart beating with excitement as if it was about to jump out of his chest. They were going to meet and sit at the same table for dinner. Oh, by the way, he didn't know the name of the person he liked yet.
First love...what would her last name be?
White? She was white, perhaps because of insufficient energy and blood, or because she was frightened that day. In any case, she was as pale as the most basic cream.
Few people have the surname Bai, so is it possible that her last name is Wang or Li? A young man's thoughts are like maltose, sticky and entangled, enveloping his heart. Just thinking about it makes his cheeks red. I like it, I like it...
[Xing Kui is the person I want to marry.]
Xing and Kui are the ones I'm going to marry.
Xu Ye opened his lips in confusion. Li Chengchuan's sudden new information made him confused. Then his dark brown pupils opened slightly, and he suddenly sat up, and the iron bed creaked.
The three roommates under the bed looked over and said, "You scared me! Brother Xu, what happened? Did she reply to you? Did she agree?"
"Of course she agreed. Our Brother Xu took the initiative to invite her, unless she has a boyfriend."
"And my boyfriend is no less than Brother Xu."
A week later.
It was a cloudy day and the light was dim. Outside the blinds, the sky was covered with thick clouds. Xing Kui leaned on the bed, sticking embroidered patches on her brown hat with a label.
After searching for a few days without finding a style particularly similar to Xu Ye's, she suddenly had an idea and bought a baseball cap of the same color, and then bought a few cake-shaped self-adhesive embroidery stickers and applied them herself.
She subconsciously pursed her lips when they were kissing each other, and then subconsciously thought of Zhou Jing. This man was so terribly disciplined that he would give her three kisses every day at the exact time: a good morning kiss and a kiss for going to work, a kiss after get off work, and a good night kiss.
He visited her three times every day at a fixed time and place, as if her mouth was his punch-in point for going to and from get off work.
He was so polite that he never kissed her below the neck, and he never touched the skin above the neck except for the mouth. It was as if he was really feeding her medicine at a fixed time and place to help her cure her illness.
He was a nice person, spoke gently and brought her food every day, but he kissed her too hard, and she felt like her tongue was going to be rolled off several times.
During this time, she spoke with Jiang Yuming several times on the phone, and Jiang Yuming kept urging her to spend more time with Zhou Jing if she wanted to pursue him. But did that really work? When they weren't kissing, Zhou Jing treated her politely, treating her like anyone else, and it didn't seem like he had any feelings for her.
After Xing Kui put on the embroidery patch, she compared the hat with the original one. They were about 70% similar. She smiled with satisfaction and moved off the bed.
Today was the day she and Xu Ye had an appointment for dinner. When she was discharged from the hospital, the neurosurgeon told her that she had intracranial hemorrhage and needed at least two to four weeks of absolute rest. She had been in the hospital for half a month and another week at Zhou Jing's house. Now it was the fourth week and the time was not up yet, but she couldn't keep her savior waiting for too long.
My legs haven't healed yet, and I still can't sit or stand for long periods of time, but my limp when I walk isn't as severe as before, so I can go out for a meal without any problem.
After getting dressed, Xing Kui knocked on the door of Zhou Jing's study. Today was Saturday, and he didn't have to go to the law firm but still had work to deal with. He sat at the desk with such seriousness that she couldn't help but take a few more glances at him.
"Lawyer Zhou, I have to go out for a while. I have a dinner appointment with someone and will be back this afternoon."
Zhou Jing wrote: "Well, there is a key in the drawer of the entrance hall. Take one. I have a client to meet this afternoon, so I may not be able to get home before you."
"Okay, got it." She would come back as late as possible to avoid the after-work kiss! Xing Kui turned around.
"Wait." Zhou Jing stopped her and looked at his watch. "Is it far? I'll take you there."
"No, no, it's quite close, just to Feiyan Shopping Mall. I can get there in two subway stops."
Xing Kui knew her legs well. If she walked too far, her legs would become exhausted halfway. So she chose the one closest to her. There was a shopping mall near Zhou Jing's community, so she chose an open-air restaurant on the first floor of the mall.
It’s still unclear whether Xu Ye will come. He hasn’t sent her any messages since that day. She sent him the restaurant address but he didn’t reply. She didn’t know if he agreed to it after seeing it or what. Regardless, she did her job well.
Xing Kui, limping onto a chair in the restaurant and wearing a hat and mask, contacted Xu Ye and told him that she had arrived. She leaned back in the chair to relax for a while, then bent down to pinch her legs.
A short distance away, outside the flower garden, an ordinary Audi slowly pulled into a row of cars. Zhou Jing stopped the car and looked at Xing Kui massaging her legs. A slight frown furrowed his gentle face.
Did she mean to have dinner with Xu Ye? But he had clearly told Li Chengchuan about her contact with Xu Ye. Li Chengchuan was possessive and should have dealt with it that day. Xu Ye should not have come.
Zhou Jing looked at the time. He still had time, so he could wait for an hour.
An hour later...if the car drives faster, we can wait another quarter of an hour.
A quarter of an hour later... Zhou Jing made a phone call: "Hello, Mr. Cheng, I have something to do this afternoon, so I'll change it to tomorrow."
After sitting for more than an hour, Xing Kui's legs were no longer comfortable. It felt like there was mucus stuck in her knees, and they were sore and swollen. There was an empty chair next to her, and she stared at it, wanting to cross her legs on it. However, she had received many years of quality education and would not do so openly.
When it was time for dinner, Xing Kui leaned on the table and endured the pain. She counted down ten seconds. If Xu Ye didn't come, she would order the food herself.
Ten, nine, five, one: "Waiter!"
"Xing Kui?" Nearby, a group of people were taking pictures of the food. One of the women turned around and walked over. "It's really you! I almost didn't recognize you with that hat on."
We are college classmates. When Xingkui was in college, it was during the COVID-19 pandemic. Everyone had to wear masks every day, and they were familiar with each other's appearance of wearing masks.
The hat affected her recognition, but Xing Kui had just shouted, and she stared at her classmate blankly. Oh no, this person was one of the friends she had deleted before.
The other party was only an acquaintance of her when they were in school, but because they both worked in Jingjiang City later, he contacted her with the idea of having some personal connections. Gradually, he found that Xing Kui was suitable to be a trash can, and he got in the habit of complaining to her about work.
"Why can't I send you messages on WeChat? Did you delete me?"
Asking despite knowing the answer.
"But what happened? We are friends, you can tell me if you have anything." The other party smiled gently.
The smile was fake, and Zhou Jing was gentler than her even when she wasn't smiling. Xing Kui lowered her head to look at the menu and said politely, "I had a car accident, so I need to calm down."
"Car accident? You were hit by a car? Oh my god!"
"Hmm." Xing Kui flipped through the menu. Fish and shrimp, no, seafood, no, soy sauce...
"So you don't have to go to work now?"
"Hmm." Maoxuewang (stir-fried pork trotters) is too spicy, I can't eat it; braised pig's trotters is too meaty, I can't eat it...
"I envy you so much."
Xing Kui's fingers stopped flipping through the menu and landed on a plate of tasteless stir-fried vegetables.
"It's so nice not to have to go to work. Unlike me, I have to go out and take pictures every Saturday." She works as a photographer.
"What do you envy me for?" Xing Kui put down the menu, took off the baseball cap that covered the scar on her forehead, and raised her sick face. "Are you envious of me because I almost died in a car accident? Or am I disfigured and scarred? Or am I envious of me because I can't eat nine out of ten dishes?"
"You!" So scary! So ugly! How did she become so ugly!
"What do you mean by 'you'? I thought that when I said 'get in a car accident, get your mind off things,' no, when I deleted you, you should have understood how badly you made me feel and should have quietly walked away. Didn't over a decade of quality education teach you that people should have some sense?"
The good-tempered Xing Kui rarely speaks directly to others. She says harsh words with tears in her eyes. She is quite timid, but also quite brave.
When a rabbit is bullied, it will learn from the hedgehog to stand up its fur and prick people. Cowards also have the courage to resist.
It was a familiar scene. She'd been like this at the traffic police station, both timid and determined to question the perpetrator, radiating an undeniable brilliance. In the car, Zhou Jing opened the door and got out.
It was a familiar scene. She had done the same thing at Huide Hospital, tensing every muscle in her body while remaining strong and calm to steady the nurse. Behind the glass window on the first floor of the mall, Xu Ye looked at Xing Kui. It was true that he would save her, but only if she could save herself beautifully first.
He shouldn't have come. Li Chengchuan's warning had revealed the name of the person he was attracted to, prompting Xu Ye to pick up a pair of scissors and put an end to his feelings. However, the maltose was so sticky that the scissors could not cut it off.
He tried hundreds of times to tell Xing Kui that she didn't need to come, but the message couldn't be sent. When he realized it, he had already taken the subway for more than an hour to reach the mall, and ended up running into Zhou Jing's car on the roadside.
He could only hide, but at this moment Xu Ye was very worried about Xing Kui. People would get angry and embarrassed when they were not in the right. He had to go out... Brother Zhou?
"You! Xing Kui, why are you biting me? I'm just concerned about you. It's just a car accident. Don't think the whole world is sorry for you!"
"You care about nobody." Xing Kui wanted to say something, but couldn't. She stuttered a few times and shouted, "I don't know who has wronged me, but I know who you have wronged. Are those people over there your colleagues? Hey!"
"What are you doing!" The other party immediately stepped forward to stop him.
Xing Kui waved her frail arms to block it. "Short hair, small eyes, hey! You were an intern last year, weren't you? She was afraid you'd take her position, so she reported you to the boss and blocked your chance to become a regular employee, you know? Wearing glasses, big waves, hey! You're her superior now, but you used to be her classmate, right? When you were promoted, she was making up dirty rumors about you behind your back, you know?"
The other person's eyes turned fierce and he slapped her.
Xing Kui's eyelids trembled with fear. She had expected this situation, but spreading homosexual pornographic rumors was really disgusting. Today was a rare opportunity and she had to expose it.
The slap didn't land on her face as Zhou Jing suddenly appeared and blocked it for her. Then the restaurant manager and the shopping mall manager came running over.
The other party yelled at the restaurant manager: "Why don't you kick these troublemakers out? Our company is here to promote your restaurant, and this is how you react?"
The store manager looked at Xing Kui seriously. Just as he was about to open his mouth, the mall manager kicked him away and bowed to Zhou Jing. "Lawyer Zhou, I didn't know you were coming. Don't worry, I'll ensure your dining experience. Quick, kick this guy out!"
The other party: "What?"
Manager: "Register before you leave. After that, you will be blacklisted from Feiyan Department Store. Don't even think about entering any Feiyan Department Stores nationwide."
The other party couldn't believe it, his lips trembling with anger. He sneered at Xing Kui, who was sitting on a chair protected by Zhou Jing behind him, and said, "No wonder she changed. It turns out she's hooked up with a rich man."
Xing Kui laughed angrily, "How can there be such a thing as a wealthy person driving a car worth hundreds of thousands of yuan?" After that, she awkwardly pulled Zhou Jing, "I don't mean to look down on you for driving a car worth hundreds of thousands of yuan. I mean, people who drive a car worth hundreds of thousands of yuan are not wealthy people."
Manager: "..." Doesn't this girl know how rich Lawyer Zhou is? "Hurry up and kick him out!"
The other party was driven away in embarrassment, and the people in her company also wanted to leave. The big wavy sister with black-framed glasses walked up to Xing Kui and said: "Thank you, she will be fired."
Xing Kui apologized: "I'm sorry I didn't stand up the first time."
"It's okay. This matter has nothing to do with you. If possible, can we add WeChat?"
Xing Kui happily added Big Wave Sister on WeChat and waved goodbye to her.
Zhou Jing glanced at her smile and looked at the mall manager gently: "Thank you for your hard work."
"How could that be? You're too polite. Our chairman once said that without you helping him clear his name, Feiyan Shopping Mall wouldn't be what it is today. You are the benefactor of all the employees of Feiyan Shopping Mall."
So that's how it is. Xing Kui looked at Zhou Jing with starry eyes, which made Zhou Jing's heart jump.
"go home?"
"Yeah." Xing Kui wanted to stand up, but her legs, which had been sitting for hours, wouldn't allow her to. She simply opened her arms, turning it into an opportunity to capture Zhou Jing. "Hold."
Zhou Jing's eyes softened, he bent down and picked her up. Xing Kui glanced at her waist and knees, but her hands didn't curl up like they did the first time. Maybe Lawyer Zhou wasn't completely unmoved by her?
In the mall, Xu Ye watched Zhou Jing pick up Li Chengchuan's fiancée. His mind was not very clean, and the scene he saw was not clean either.
He picked up his phone, instinctively frowned and took a photo, then instinctively sent it to Li Chengchuan.
He regretted it after posting it and hastily withdrew it. Brother Zhou is a non-marriage advocate known to all his brothers. What is he thinking?
