Chapter 37 "Kiss me, right now." "Don't be afraid, I'll teach you..."
Li Sen was always willing to help, saying he would drive to pick her up, and she arrived in no time.
The sound of a car engine came from downstairs.
No sooner had Jiang Chuyu stepped out the door than Jiang Lekai rushed to the window to report his observations and thoughts to Gu Zeming in real time.
"No wonder my sister dressed up like a fairy today, she was on a date with Sen."
"Brother Sen doesn't like girls who are too effeminate, so she'll probably have wasted her time."
"Teacher, should we go and see what's going on?"
He rambled on for a while, only to be met with Gu Zeming's indifferent reply: "No need. Today's reading exercise is to do the two papers I sent you first."
Jiang Lekai pouted and muttered under his breath, "Why can Jiang Chuyu go out and play while I have to suffer here? It's so unfair! I'm so angry..."
Gu Zeming turned and walked to the podium, his voice a few decibels lower than usual, “If you’re not happy, you can voluntarily give up your position as heir and let Ms. Jiang give all the property to your sister, so that she can bear the pain you’re in now.”
Upon hearing this, Jiang Lekai was speechless.
Downstairs, Li Sen opened the car door for Jiang Chuyu and said with a smile, "You look great today."
Jiang Chuyu put her bag on the back seat and fastened her seatbelt: "Thank you for picking me up."
She looked up at the window of the apartment building.
The curtains swayed slightly, as if someone had just stood by the window.
The car left the apartment.
Jiang Chuyu lowered the car window, letting the wind dispel the lingering heat on her face.
Li Sen drives very steadily, always slowing down in advance when turning, just like his style of dealing with people: thoughtful, considerate, and impeccable.
"Chu Yu," Li Sen suddenly spoke up while waiting at a red light, "If one day you find out that someone is taking advantage of you, would you be very angry?"
The question came abruptly, and Jiang Chuyu turned to look at him. Sunlight streamed through the windshield, illuminating his profile and giving his gentle features a touch of melancholy.
"That's not important," she replied casually.
Li Sen's fingers tightened on the steering wheel for a moment, then slowly relaxed. "Is that so?"
"Being used by others means I have value, doesn't it?" Jiang Chuyu said half-jokingly.
Li Sen's expression froze for a moment, then returned to a gentle smile. He changed the subject: "What do you want to do today? I've looked up a few good places."
"Bungee jumping." Jiang Chuyu answered without hesitation, her eyes lighting up. "I've always wanted to try cliff bungee jumping; it sounds so exciting."
Li Sen raised an eyebrow: "I thought you would choose an art museum or a concert."
"Then you have a huge misunderstanding about me." Jiang Chuyu tilted her head and looked at him. "What, you're afraid?"
“I’m ready to play along.” Li Sen turned the steering wheel to change course. “But I need to make sure your heart is strong enough first.”
“Much stronger than you think,” Jiang Chuyu said softly, her gaze drifting back to the window. “Don’t worry, I value my life.”
About half an hour later, they arrived at the bungee jumping site on the outskirts of the city.
Lush greenery grows beneath the steep cliffs.
Jiang Chuyu stood on the edge of the diving platform, letting the staff fasten her safety belt.
"Just to confirm one last time," the staff member asked, "First time bungee jumping?"
Jiang Chuyu nodded, her heart racing but her expression calm.
Li Sen stood to the side, his brows slightly furrowed: "It's not too late to regret it now."
“Then you’re going to be disappointed.” Jiang Chuyu winked at him, then turned to the staff, “I’m ready.”
As the countdown ended, Jiang Chuyu opened her arms and leaped into the air without hesitation.
Her falling posture resembled a free butterfly, with her arms outstretched, her sleeves fluttering in the wind, and her black hair cascading down like a waterfall.
The feeling of weightlessness instantly overwhelmed my reason; the world spun around me, and all I could hear was the howling wind.
All fear miraculously transformed into indescribable pleasure.
A scream burst from her throat, not of fear, but of a pure, almost ecstatic release.
Li Sen stood on the observation deck, involuntarily taking a step forward, his fingers gripping the railing tightly.
He had expected to see a panicked girl, but instead witnessed a breathtaking performance.
As she plummeted to her lowest point, Jiang Chuyu suddenly stretched out her body, twirled in the air like a dancer, and then soared back into the air as the rope snapped back up.
The sunlight shone on her, gilding her with a fuzzy golden edge, and she was enveloped in a hazy halo, dazzlingly beautiful.
Jiang Chuyu gazed at the azure sky, her heart pounding, yet her body remained unusually calm.
She would be very happy if she died at this moment.
The moment a strange thought popped into my head, I was pulled back to the platform and then fell into an incredibly warm embrace.
Li Sen held her tightly, with such force that it was almost suffocating.
So it turns out, even his elegant body can lose control in an instant.
“There are people watching.” Jiang Chuyu’s cheeks flushed, her eyes sparkling. “It’s your turn now, you’re not going to back out, are you?”
"It's not that bad." Li Sen let go of her, unbuttoned his suit jacket, and changed into casual clothes.
Bungee jumping is a popular extreme sport, especially among the wealthy second generation. Li Sen had dabbled in it before and was quite good at it.
When he completed the jump and returned to the platform, he found Jiang Chuyu staring at him with a focus he had never seen before.
"What's wrong?" he asked with a smile, straightening his disheveled clothes.
“When you jumped,” Jiang Chuyu slowly approached, reaching out to brush a small leaf off his shoulder, “I suddenly felt that you were much more real than usual.”
Li Senwei was slightly taken aback.
The warmth of her fingertips wafted through his shirt, and he said nonchalantly, "Perhaps, being near death makes one shed their pretense."
“Then we should do it a few more times.” Jiang Chuyu smiled and subtly took a step back, widening the distance between them.
They played a few more games until sunset.
On the way back, Li Sen took her to a secluded French restaurant.
In the candlelight, they looked at each other and smiled, chatting idly without ever saying "I love you."
"To an unpredictable day." Jiang Chuyu raised her glass.
Li Sen: "To a beautiful day."
The wine glasses clinked together, producing a crisp sound.
Jiang Chuyu choked on a glass of red wine and tears welled up in her eyes.
After dinner, Li Sen drove her home.
The car was parked downstairs at the apartment building, and he went around to the back seat to open the door for her.
A cool night breeze blew, and when Jiang Chuyu looked up, she caught a glimpse of a flickering spark on the balcony.
Someone is watching them.
A bold idea flashed through my mind.
“Li Sen,” she suddenly called to him, “kiss me.”
Li Sen was clearly stunned. "What?"
Kiss me, right now.
Jiang Chuyu stepped forward, affectionately wrapped her arms around his neck, tilted her head up, and gazed at him intently with her almond-shaped eyes, her red lips slightly parted: "Is it not allowed?"
My girlfriend wants it, is that not allowed?
Li Sen's gaze lingered on her face for a few seconds before he slowly lowered his head.
His lips were soft, with a faint scent of wine. At first, it was just a light touch, like a butterfly flitting across a petal.
Realizing she was responding, Li Sen ran his hand through her hair, wrapped his other arm around her waist, pulled her closer, and deepened the kiss.
Jiang Chuyu closed her eyes, but she could feel the gaze from the balcony piercing her like knives. Her fingers gripped Li Sen's clothes tightly, and her whole body trembled.
Li Sen frowned, put his arm around her waist and changed positions, pressing her against the car, his hands bracing against the car door, and continued kissing her.
Everything is in chaos.
He had no intention of touching her.
But since she wanted it, there was no reason for him not to give it to her.
At worst, he would take her away and run away.
After kissing for a few minutes, Jiang Chuyu's tongue felt slightly numb, and she gently patted Li Sen's arm.
Receiving her hint, Li Sen released her tongue and kissed the corner of her lips tenderly.
"I'm sorry, I'll take responsibility for you."
"Why should I apologize? We're boyfriend and girlfriend, and I was the one who seduced you first." Jiang Chuyu gave him a mischievous smile, then secretly glanced at the balcony, which was now empty.
"I should go up now." She straightened up, her voice a little unsteady.
Li Sen gazed at her with deep eyes, seemingly sensing something, but in the end he only said, "Goodnight."
Jiang Chuyu said goodbye to him and went into the apartment.
As the elevator ascended, her heart was pounding like crazy.
She wasn't sure why she was doing this, but in that instant, her body naturally made the choice for her.
Perhaps, she was just driven crazy by Gu Zeming.
Jiang Chuyu sighed in frustration.
Pushing open the apartment door, it was pitch black inside, with only a sliver of light shining from the music room.
Jiang Chuyu tiptoed toward her room, but as she passed the music room, she was suddenly pulled inside by a strong force.
The door slammed shut behind her, and Jiang Chuyu was pressed against it, as Gu Zeming's aura enveloped her.
He was wearing his usual black T-shirt, and there was a faint smell of tobacco on him. His eyes burned with an anger she had never seen before.
"Did you have fun?" He stared intently at her.
Jiang Chuyu raised her chin. "I'm very happy."
Gu Zeming's fingers traced her neck, his thumb pressing on her pulse. "Are you deliberately trying to annoy me?"
"Don't overthink it. I'm kissing my boyfriend, what's it to you? Spying on other people isn't something to be proud of..."
Her words were interrupted by the sudden sound of piano music.
Gu Zeming sneered and suddenly picked her up and placed her on the piano.
The piano keys emitted a discordant boom, and Jiang Chuyu exclaimed in surprise, instinctively grabbing his shoulder.
His palm roamed along her thigh, its temperature burning.
"Do you know what I was thinking when I saw you two kissing downstairs?" he whispered in her ear, his breath hot against her skin. "Believe me or not, I'll make him..."
The next words drifted into my ears.
Jiang Chuyu's eyelashes trembled slightly, her knees went weak, and she cursed him through gritted teeth, "Don't go crazy!"
"Am I crazy?"
Gu Zeming narrowed his eyes, suddenly pressed down on her shoulders, turned her body around, and pressed her down onto the piano keys.
Before Jiang Chuyu could even react to what had happened, she received a solid slap on the buttock.
The sound was as loud as when she slapped him.
Jiang Chuyu lay face down on the piano, her eyes wide with disbelief, completely stunned by the slap.
"You...you're shameless!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he received another slap.
"That's what you call crazy."
Gu Zeming snorted coldly, sat back on the piano bench, grabbed her waist with both hands, and pulled her back, causing Jiang Chuyu to fall onto his lap.
"Sweetie, your senior will teach you to play the piano."
Gu Zeming embraced her from behind, his chin resting heavily on her slender shoulder, his broad hands covering her delicate fingers, drawing out a melodious tune on the piano keys. His gaze remained fixed on her expression.
The scalding breath sprayed onto the back of Jiang Chuyu's neck, making her mind go blank and her whole body break out in goosebumps.
"You madman, let me go!" she protested as she struggled, and the piano emitted a sharp, off-key note.
Gu Zeming frowned and hugged her even tighter.
"You played it wrong, start over."
Jiang Chuyu's hand was held by Gu Zeming and pressed onto the piano keys. Her body almost melted in his arms until Jiang Lekai's voice came from the doorway.
"Sister? Teacher? What are you doing?"
At this moment, Jiang Chuyu felt that Jiang Lekai was the cutest younger brother in the world.
Taking advantage of Gu Zeming's distraction, she suddenly pushed him away and stood up.
“We’re…practicing the piano.” Jiang Chuyu lowered her head to straighten her disheveled clothes, her expression returning to its usual calm, only her slightly disordered breathing betrayed her earlier outburst.
Jiang Lekai looked at them suspiciously, "Practicing the piano so late at night?"
Although their music room has been specially soundproofed so as not to disturb the neighbors, the timing is too strange.
"and……"
Why are you blushing?
"It's probably because of the heat that it made her skin sore." Jiang Chuyu walked quickly towards the door. "It's late, go to sleep."
She fled back to her room, only to realize her hands were trembling violently after closing the door.
Gu Zeming's aura lingered on her clothes like a persistent ailment, reminding her of what had just happened.
She slowly slid down to the ground, her back against the cold door panel, trying to clear her chaotic thoughts.
Ten minutes later, she took out her phone and dialed Jiang Shan's number.
"Mom, I have my final exams coming up soon." Jiang Chuyu's voice was particularly clear in the darkness. "I want to focus on my studies, and... I'm going on a date with Li Sen, so I probably won't have time to come over and accompany Le Kai to class on weekends anymore."
"Okay." Jiang Shan pondered for a moment and said, "You should study hard and spend more time with Li Sen to build a relationship. With Teacher Gu around, I feel at ease."
"Thank you, Mom." Jiang Chuyu bit her lip, then remembered something and added, "There's one more thing. I want to learn to draw during the summer vacation to improve my artistic cultivation..." She needed to master basic drawing skills to study fashion design, and she couldn't put it off any longer.
"That's a good thing, Mom supports you."
Jiang Shan's support usually includes both financial and emotional support.
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Chuyu breathed a sigh of relief.
She needed to get away from this apartment, away from Gu Zeming's eyes that could see through all her pretenses.
At the very least, we can't let him ruin our plans.
