Chapter 27 Chapter 27 Forced Crossing the Line
What! Zhou Jing could see the messages between her and Jiang Yuming?!
Xing Kui opened her mouth in horror, her head resting against the pillow, and she fell into a daze.
The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind it. Who is the mantis and who is the oriole? Who is in the atmosphere?
Wait a minute, let her grow some brains! Never mind, the fact that she could grow a brain despite being injured and having a fever is a medical miracle. In life, one must learn to reconcile with oneself. Xing Kui mustered up her courage, turned her head away, closed her eyes and played the fool.
It’s just that Zhou Jing discovered her private dealings with Jiang Yuming. It’s a small matter. Let’s destroy it.
"Don't move, you're bleeding."
Zhou Jing pressed against her, stroking her wrist with his burning fingertips. Her palm, previously pierced by the knife, was wrapped in gauze and bleeding slightly. "I didn't monitor you from the first day you came to my house. I only checked after Jiang Yuming came to visit that day because I was worried you might be deceived by him."
He deduced that Xing Kui and Jiang Yuming usually communicated through voice calls, and there was not much text-only communication.
Xing Kui turned back in surprise, and saw Zhou Jing's handsome face, which reminded her of the lakeside under the bright moon and clear breeze, with willows swaying in the wind, the lake rippling with silver waves, and a swan in the middle of the lake spreading its wings, elegant and eye-catching.
She was stunned and paused: "So you stopped kissing me from the second day? Do you mind that I want to pursue you? This is also the first time I actively pursue someone, so I may not do it well. I can improve on the shortcomings."
So between her and Li Chengchuan, was it Li Chengchuan who took the initiative to pursue her?
Zhou Jing let go of her and sat next to her, one hand resting on her bent long legs and the other hand half covering her eyebrows and eyes that were as if drawn in ink. The drapey pajamas outlined his body, which was just the right thinness.
"Say something." Xing Kui slightly raised her neck. The high fever caused her to feel cold. Zhou Jing's body exuded a warm breath, but she didn't dare to get too close at this time. She was picking at the pillow fabric by herself.
She's not bad, even if she has some debuffs, she's still good. She was quite happy when Zhou Jing kissed her, so why is she...
Xing Kui raised her head with great effort to see Zhou Jing's expression hidden by his hand. It was quite strange and complicated, as if she was performing a melodramatic eight o'clock drama, at least as melodramatic as "A Married Woman Cheated on Me".
Zhou Jing glanced over and saw Xing Kui, frightened and exhausted, falling to the ground with a dull thud, and her soft face pressed against his thigh.
The flesh on her legs twitched instantly, and the heat was transferred from her face through the fabric of her pajamas. Xing Kui blinked, her mouth trembling with cold. She liked this temperature very much, but she still had to leave.
"Don't move." Zhou Jing suddenly pressed her with his hands, and a deep breath sounded from the top of her head.
On her face were Zhou Jing's dry and hot hands, and below her face were Zhou Jing's hot legs. From above and below, Xing Kui was being attacked from both sides. Her ears felt itchy, and it was very comfortable. She was really afraid of the cold at the moment, but this posture was so embarrassing.
She wanted to move.
"Don't move." Zhou Jing repeated again, his tone revealing a bit of helplessness. He supported his forehead with one hand, and pink quietly climbed up the tips of his ears under his black hair. These days, he was not bothered by the fact that Xing Kui was pursuing him, but was thinking about other things.
After discovering the secret, certain emotions suddenly burst out of Zhou Jing's heart: surprise, joy, as if the answer had been expected, and the urge to knock on Li Chengchuan's door and tell him about it to show off.
The speed at which they appeared made Zhou Jing clearly realize that he had fallen in love with Xing Kui, and the belated feeling of betrayal by his good friend lingered like a maggot in his bones.
Zhou Jing stayed alone in the study, holding a pen and paper, sorting out his experiences after meeting Xing Kui one by one. His feelings may have started outside the traffic police brigade, when Xing Kui begged him to hide the truth about the car accident from Li Chengchuan, and she sowed the seeds in his heart.
The hard kiss he gave to Xing Kui later was Zhou Jing's subconscious attempt to prevent the seed from germinating, and the other reasons were just excuses to resist the impulse.
Don't cheat on your brother's wife.
But along with the feeling of betrayal, there was also a sense of unwillingness. Xing Kui didn't want to get to know him in depth. She wasn't curious about his past. She just wanted to have some skin contact with him, which was quite superficial. But why did she treat Li Chengchuan differently?
Today in the car, Li Chengchuan grabbed Xing Kui's hand through him, which was particularly annoying.
How come Xing Kui likes Li Chengchuan enough to get married, but her attitude towards him is only superficial?
Zhou Jing sneered just now because he was angry about this. He had just mentioned Zhou Li when Xing Kui interrupted him and asked him to go to sleep. She didn't interrupt him when he stuck out his tongue, but she did it now.
"In the 20th century, there was a pair of identical twins abroad—"
"Can I not tell you?"
See, she's especially good at interrupting at moments like this.
Xing Kui was confused by the high temperature, but when she heard Zhou Jing's words, she immediately stopped him. No, she couldn't say anything. "Lawyer Zhou, I, I'm pursuing you, but my motives are not pure. Don't tell me too much. It's not fair to you."
The deeper purpose behind pursuing Zhou Jing is a fake marriage. She has no intention of getting married for real, so how can she truly enter Zhou Jing's world beyond the physical appearance?
Don't tell her, don't tell her.
I don't want to let you down.
His lips opened and closed, and every word he spoke sent a stream of heat to Zhou Jing's legs. His leg muscles tensed uncontrollably, his Adam's apple rolled down, and the waves in his black eyes could not calm down.
Li Chengchuan lived just across the street from the house, yet he held his friend's ex-girlfriend on his lap, even screaming in his mind that he wanted more.
Zhou Jing stroked her face. Maybe it was because of the high fever, or maybe it was because of him, but her pale and frail cheeks felt warm, and it felt good.
The moonlight created shadows, casting two overlapping figures on the bed that once only housed Zhou Jing. The moonlight was dim, and so was the person.
“Fairness is not something you decide alone.
Your intentions are not pure.
You don't want to cross the line.
But I want to.”
Amidst the voice that sounded like a spell, the hand covering her cheek slowly moved, like a veil falling off, revealing her true face, and her longest middle finger gradually slid across Xing Kui's lip line.
"So Xing Kui, can you let me force you to cross the line and offset your impure intentions?"
His palms suddenly covered the two soft petals, and Zhou Jing covered Xing Kui's mouth forcefully, not allowing her to answer.
The scent of mint rushed into Xing Kui's nose, and she was frightened. Her eyelashes trembled several times. Li Chengchuan's warning came back to her ears. He said that Zhou Jing was dangerous and invisible. Anyone who provoked him would be caught by the general without any defense.
She seemed to be checked.
What went wrong?! Didn't she capture Zhou Jing through her skin-thirsty syndrome? If her methods were superficial, shouldn't the results also be superficial? Why did Zhou Jing want more?
"Hmm, hmm." The cause and effect relationship was wrong. Xing Kui could separate the soul and the flesh, but Zhou Jing couldn't. From the beginning to the end, it was because Zhou Jing had long been attracted by Xing Kui's good character, which was why he couldn't stop breathing when he touched her.
Her lips struggled against Zhou Jing's palm again and again, but no matter how hard Xing Kui tried, she could only move it a little bit.
She was anxious, unable to speak, and her head was controlled and unable to lift up. In panic, she hugged Zhou Jing's legs and pressed her legs on him. She looked like a pitiful person holding a pillar, with her helpless pupils misty.
"Xing Kui, I'm having a hard time holding it in. Try moving again."
Covering her mouth and being hugged by her legs, Zhou Jing's neck was flushed in the moonlight, his eyes were focused and unfocused, and a surge in his voice was being suppressed.
"Be good and let me finish." Without allowing Xing Kui to object, Zhou Jing opened his heart and forced her to come in.
"At the end of the 20th century, there was a case abroad where the suspects were a pair of identical twins. They had very similar faces and very similar DNA sequences. Ultimately, because it was impossible to determine which twin was the perpetrator, they were acquitted.
More than 20 years ago, someone in Nanzhou committed a copycat crime and killed a co-worker."
How old was Zhou Jing more than 20 years ago?
Xing Kui listened helplessly, her face buried in his thin but strong leg muscles.
"My grandfather was the judge in the case at the time. There was insufficient evidence, and even though everyone knew the murderer was one of the twins, my grandfather had no choice but to acquit them.
The murderer was at large. The widow of the deceased was angry about the verdict. She dodged the police officer who was protecting her, went to the murderer's house with a knife, forced the murderer to commit another crime, and sacrificed her life in exchange for the murderer's arrest.
She left behind a little girl, who was later adopted by my grandfather and registered under my mother's name."
At this point, Xing Kui understood that Zhou Li was the little girl. She blamed her mother's death on the judge who acquitted her, and then resented the entire Zhou family.
"I was still in primary school at the time, and Zhou Li was always yelling and cursing. I listened to her and really thought we had wronged her, so I was confused for a while."
Children who have not yet established their own values are easily influenced by people with loud voices.
"I couldn't concentrate on reading or attending classes. Zhou Li often shouted that she hoped our family would be unhappy. I was deeply confused and fell into depravity. In my teens, I met a group of bad friends and learned to smoke and drink."
So Jiang Yuming said that Zhou Jing almost went to a juvenile detention center.
I really can't tell that Zhou Jing smokes. There are no cigarette butts in his house. There is some wine, but it is not the white wine that Xing Kui saw the male relatives drinking at the banquet.
"Don't think too much. I quit smoking when I was a teenager." Most of the past story had been told here. Xing Kui didn't want to listen anymore, but she had heard enough. Zhou Jing released the hand that was holding Xing Kui's mouth, allowing her to breathe better.
His slightly calloused fingertips gently smoothed away the strands of hair on her forehead, "Li Chengchuan still smokes now, but I don't." Although Li Chengchuan only smokes occasionally, once every few years.
Xing Kui leaned on his legs, not understanding why Zhou Jing wanted to criticize his brother in the middle of his speech.
"I was a real jerk during that period, trapped in ignorance until some friends I knew got hooked on drugs... and I reported them.
It was a foggy day, and everything was gray. I stood outside the police station and couldn't tell which direction I was going.
A car drove up to me, the window rolled down, and Li Chengchuan said, "I'm not hopeless yet." Then he locked me up in the mountains.
What? Li Chengchuan imprisoned Zhou Jing? Xing Kui opened her mouth with curiosity, but didn't ask.
A warm palm stroked the back of her head. Knowing that she was imagining things, Zhou Jing quickly continued, "At that time, my mother was teaching in the mountains, and Li Chengchuan sent me to her."
So that’s how it is, Zhou Jing’s mother is a teacher.
"Without a cell phone, I locked myself in the dilapidated brick house. My mother didn't force me to go out. She just sent a book to the room every few days, a law book.
I read each book one by one, and finally I understood the principle of "it is better to release someone by mistake than to make a wrong judgment" and comprehended my grandfather's original judgment.
The Zhou family didn't owe Zhou Li a penny in the verdict, but Zhou Li lost her parents at a young age, so my family couldn't bear to criticize her and even gave her extra protection. Even though she legally separated from my family after she became an adult, we still consider her a member of the Zhou family.
It sounds like Zhou Jing's family are all pretty nice people... As the medicine took effect, Xing Kui's eyelids started to droop, and she fell asleep in a daze, hugging Zhou Jing's legs.
It was as if someone had moved her hand away, come to her side, and embrace her.
A warm breath hit her ears: "Li Chengchuan is two years older than me, and he matured earlier than me." He met you earlier than me.
"But the models we finally decided on are comparable." No one stipulates that latecomers cannot catch up with their predecessors, or even surpass them.
"Don't just want to pick me up." Also understand me.
"Kui Kui."
What was he talking about? Xing Kui was in a daze and didn't hear a few words. It was strange that he mentioned Li Chengchuan. She didn't want to date Li Chengchuan.
The next morning, the high fever subsided and Xing Kui regained consciousness. She opened her eyes and saw Zhou Jing sleeping beside her. She tiptoed out of bed, took the mobile phone Zhou Jing had brought her from the bedside table, slipped into the bathroom, locked the door, and gasped for breath.
Oh my God, Zhou Jing actually forced her to listen to his family's affairs last night, which went against her original intention. What should she do? She couldn't tell Jiang Yuming, as he would probably like it.
She couldn’t find anyone in her WeChat list who could listen to her complaints!
The phone buzzed, who was calling her at this time? [Easy to cheat, already cheated twenty-five times], this is not the same liar from before!
Xing Kui suddenly had an idea and picked up the phone: "Mr. Liar, I understand. You must want to ask me for RMB, but don't worry, I have something important to tell you. If you promise to listen to me, I can give you 100 yuan. This time I will really pay you."
There was no sound from the other end of the phone. Xing Kui tapped the phone and said, "Hello, can you hear me?"
"You say." The two words came into my ears in a low voice.
Xing Kui breathed a sigh of relief: "Finally, someone listens to my complaints. I recently met someone who I only wanted to talk to about the physical aspects of life, but he insisted on having a heart-to-heart talk with me. It really gave me a headache. How did things end up like this? Although he was willing to talk to me, I felt good inside, but this is not right! I want to change people. How about I change people before the situation gets worse?"
