Chapter 12 Chapter 12 The Kissing Thief
As soon as these words fell, before the two people could say anything, the system screamed in advance:
[Idiot! He doesn't like you!]
Tao Ning was stunned for a moment, and after a few seconds, she belatedly replied: [It's okay.]
The system also remained silent for a few seconds:
【He doesn't like you and rejects you, aren't you sad? 】
Tao Ning said: [I’m not sad.]
There was indeed no ripple in his heart. His shyness just now was just a subconscious reaction, just like a computer that had been programmed long ago. This code called shyness would automatically run when encountering certain things.
Zhao Jingqun rejected him. If I had to say, he felt a little sad. It was just the loss of having his efforts of writing exactly 2,500 words rejected. However, Tao Ning would have felt the same way if he had been rejected by other people.
As for the rest, he felt nothing.
It was as if he was born without the ability to perceive certain emotions.
Zhao Jingqun saw that the young man gradually lost his mind and did not speak for a long time. It seemed that he was hurt by his directness and could not speak for a long time.
His heart was suddenly stabbed.
Zhao Jingqun unconsciously rubbed the old cigarette scar on his palm... Why? He didn't dare to think too deeply. This was his first time, and he hesitated for a long time before explaining: "You are a man... I am also a man, and we didn't have a result."
It is rare to see men together in China nowadays, and most homosexuals are hiding their identities. How come this idiot dares to be so blatant?
Their mountain doesn't look open to the public. If other people knew about this, who knows how much trouble it would cause. They would probably call Tao Ning a lunatic or a psycho.
Zhao Jingqun breathed a little heavier and said again: "...Forget it, I don't like men." At the end of the sentence, she suddenly added, "Don't mess with other men."
Tao Ning stared blankly at him as he hurried away. The man's steps were a little messy, and he even stumbled when crossing the threshold. His back looked a little embarrassed.
Tao Ning was left standing there confused, "What happened to him?"
The system doesn’t understand:
[I don't know either. You humans have really complicated minds.]
At this point, the system sighed:
[Fool... You can't even conquer the first man, right? There are two more to come. Can you handle it? No, can you conquer them all?]
Tao Ning placed the love letter beside Zhao Jingqun's bed and said, "I thought about it last night and realized I could just be friends with them. It's easier. Friends can also say 'I love you' to each other."
The system brain is a little down:
[…Is this also possible?]
Tao Ning nodded seriously, "Well, a classmate bullied me before, but later he wanted to be friends with me, so he said 'I love you' to me."
The system was shocked. [Are you serious, you little bumpkin? ? Then how did you respond?]
Tao Ning slowly moved to the bed, grabbed the quilt and tucked in, leaving only her fluffy head exposed. She stretched out her two slender hands to grab the top corner of the quilt and said, "If I don't want to be friends with him, I'll just say 'Thank you, but I don't love you'."
The system continued to be shocked. [And then what?!]
After saying that, he started eating melon seeds.
Click, click.
The sound of melon seeds falling one by one is accompanied by the chirping of insects at night, and a moist evening breeze blows in.
Tao Ning's eyelids began to twitch uncontrollably. In a daze, he muttered, "Well... he wanted to beat me up, but my sister saw him... and she beat him up... Well... it looks like it's going to rain heavily tomorrow..."
The boy's voice became quieter and quieter until it was lost in the rustling of leaves outside the window.
The system's melon seeds fell to the ground: [Hey! Idiot! You haven't kissed him secretly yet...]
Time passed quickly in the mountains. When the man came back feeling cool after taking a cold shower, the shabby little alarm clock on the desk pointed to eleven o'clock.
The boy on the bed was already fast asleep. In the faint moonlight, he could see the boy's slightly open lips and shallow breathing sounds, like a ripe and rotten strawberry tongue waiting to be picked.
Zhao Jingqun looked away, but couldn't help rubbing the cigarette scar on his palm.
This happened when he was about ten years old, before he was taken in by the Zhao family. He was burned by his adoptive father with a cigarette because he stole a piece of candy.
So from then on, whenever he wanted to eat candy, he couldn't help rubbing the cigarette scar.
It was just a piece of candy. He no longer eats candy and only smokes the low-quality cigarettes he has been smoking since he was thirteen or fourteen years old.
For example, now the man is craving for cigarettes again. Just when he was about to go out to smoke one, he saw the love letter by his bed.
He stood there for a long time, so long that the dark emotions in his eyes turned into thick ink, so full that it almost overflowed.
Finally, Zhao Jingqun walked step by step to the edge of the bed, picked up the love letter, glanced at the sleeping boy, then took it away at lightning speed and stuffed it under his pillow.
After doing all this, the man acted as if nothing had happened, lifted the quilt and lay down.
But he didn't close his eyes, and kept staring at the gray cement slab above his head, as if waiting for something.
After a moment, the person next to him suddenly moved. He moved towards me very lightly, bringing with him a refreshing and sweet fruity scent.
The man's heart began beating uncontrollably again, but this time it was stronger than before, because he knew... Tao Ning liked him.
Will he... come over here again like he did yesterday?
The more he thought about it, the faster Zhao Jingqun's heart beat. The sound was so loud that it almost burst out of his chest, and it could be clearly heard in the room where only the disordered breathing sounds were left.
Suddenly, a soft and warm body came closer, and the sweet fruity fragrance became stronger and stronger, as if I was entangled by a lemon tree in the mountains.
Zhao Jingqun quickly closed his eyes and was even so nervous that he held his breath. The old cigarette scar on his palm was hurting badly at this moment.
He is in so much pain now that he wants to eat candy.
Just when Zhao Jingqun was almost suffocating, a pair of soft, fragrant lips fell on his wheat-colored cheek.
“!!!”
Suddenly, Zhao Jingqun opened his eyes.
He froze on the bed, his whole body seemed to have turned into a stone. He could only survive by clinging to the lemon tree, unable to move or change.
Just because of a kiss.
With a "click".
The last string in his heart was completely broken. Just when Zhao Jingqun could no longer bear it and wanted to hold the boy who kissed her secretly, press him down, and pick his two rosy lips wantonly.
A very light "pop" sound——
The mountain thief who had stolen the kiss had left, and lay back down very skillfully, covered himself with the quilt, and closed his eyes obediently in a very straight posture.
At this moment, Zhao Jingqun's face instantly turned as dark as the bottom of a pot, and his mood seemed to have suddenly changed from sunny to a stormy one. It seemed that only a few more thunders would completely overturn this small and shabby house.
Zhao Jingqun turned his head, staring intently at the boy's sleeping profile, and gnashed his teeth, "Tao, Ning!"
