Chapter 56
Chapter 56
That night, Shu Yao had another dream.
But this dream was not very beautiful.
The abandoned underground parking lot was filled with dust and spider webs, and the smell of rotten wood, which came from nowhere, was nauseating. Shu Yao stood in the darkness with his hands tied behind his back, calling out to heaven and earth but receiving no response.
At the entrance, a man walked towards her against the light with a ferocious face.
Shu Yao tried hard to see his face clearly.
It seems to be the yellow-haired one.
But it also looks like an older face.
She wanted to shout, but found that her mouth was sealed and she couldn't make a sound. She struggled, but the rope became tighter and tighter.
Her hair was grabbed, and her scalp felt a sharp pain. The man cursed and smashed her head against the wall...
Shu Yao's vision went dark, and he lost all his strength. He whimpered like a dying animal.
But somehow, the horrific scene before my eyes suddenly disappeared.
The darkness faded away, and the warm sunlight sprinkled all around. The restraints on her body were suddenly released, and she felt as if she was immersed in a hot spring. The pain in her body was slowly dissipated with the warmth.
Someone whispered in her ear, "Yi Yi."
Such a familiar voice...
Shu Yao slowly woke up from her dream, and when she opened her eyes, she met Chen Ye's worried look.
The distance between them was very close, and she was completely embraced in his arms.
Her mind was still confused, but Shu Yao vaguely knew why he suddenly hugged her.
Chen Ye took a tissue from the bedside table and wiped the cold sweat from her forehead. She was trembling slightly, and even the hair on her forehead was wet.
"Having a nightmare?"
"Yeah." She nodded, not even a word of politeness. She just leaned in his arms and quietly accepted his "service". But halfway through, she suddenly remembered something, "What did you call me just now? Yi Yi?"
"I—" Chen Ye paused and said as a matter of course, "Others call you Yaoyao, your mother calls you Yaoyao, I must also have a special name, how about this?"
"Hmm." Shu Yao pursed her lips, "It sounds nice."
It must be based on her cell phone password "118888", she thought.
The tissue in Shen Ye's hand moved down along the contours of her face, gently wiped her chin, and lingered on her wet neck.
Shu Yao's mind gradually regained consciousness. The itch caused by the tissue rubbing against her skin spread all the way to her limbs and bones. She suddenly felt that her whole body was slowly burning.
She moved back slightly, creating some distance between herself and him, and half leaned against the headboard of the bed.
A drop of sweat overflowed from the temples that had been wiped dry, slid down the cheek to the chin, dripped into the middle of the collarbone, followed the line of the chest, and seeped into the thin pajamas.
Chen Ye's voice, with the sleepiness of just waking up, seemed even deeper: "Are you nervous?"
Shu Yao said calmly: "No."
Shen Ye’s hand did not move, but pressed against the artery in her neck: “But, your heartbeat is very fast.”
"I..." Shu Yao muttered softly, "I was fast because of a nightmare."
"Oh." Chen Ye's right hand continued to move down, wiping the sweat between his collarbone, and the tissue stopped at the collar of his pajamas.
His hand was on the top button, as if he would throw away the tissue and unbutton it in the next second.
But he didn't do that.
Shen Ye clutched the half-wet tissue in his hand and whispered to her, “But I didn’t have a nightmare, why is my heart beating so fast?”
Shu Yao looked up suddenly and met his fiery gaze, which was deep and unfathomable under the dim light.
If someone had told her a year ago that she would have so many friends she liked and someone she loved so much, she would have rolled her eyes at the other person in her heart. But now, she discovered that the encounters between people might be so wonderful.
Even if you haven't met each other yet, fate may come to you unexpectedly one day.
For the past 26 years, she has always felt that anything that tests luck has little to do with her, and her achievements and work are all the result of her hard work.
But now that I think about it, that’s not entirely true.
At least meeting Chen Ye was a jackpot in her life that she had never expected.
Some things seem to come to fruition in an instant, without much explanation, yet both parties understand.
My heart was pounding like thunder and I couldn't look directly at it.
Shu Yao thought that she finally felt the so-called heart-pounding feeling that Zhao Tiantian described.
In this slightly cold early morning when we have survived a disaster.
Shu Yao clenched her right hand in the quilt. After a few seconds, she reached out, grabbed the collar of his pajamas, and pulled it down slightly.
One lowered his head, the other raised his head, and their lips pressed tightly together.
This time Shen Ye wasn't even surprised.
When she stepped away, he curled his fingertips around a strand of her hair and twisted it gently, but there was no smile in his eyes: "Last time, it was a performance for Zhou Beichuan, so what is this time? The suspension bridge effect?"
When people face danger, panic and fear, their heartbeat will accelerate. If they meet someone at this time, they may mistake this feeling for being attracted to the other person.
However, Shu Yao knew very well that he was not.
Because the excitement she felt when facing him was not just now.
Her eyes were as gentle as water as she looked at him and said slowly, "Actually, there was no Zhou Beichuan last time."
Shen Ye stopped touching the end of her hair.
"At that time, I just wanted to kiss you, that's all." Shu Yao felt an inexplicable sourness in his nose, and when he spoke, he was rarely wronged, "Besides, I originally wanted to take you to the amusement park this afternoon and confess my love to you, if not..."
Before she could finish her words, a strong hand wrapped around her waist and gently pulled her down.
Shen Ye's arm was supported by her side, and his other hand was supporting her face.
His scorching eyes fell on her face, and he curled his lips: "Then you took advantage of me twice."
Shu Yao felt guilty, but honest: "Hmm..."
The next second, my breathing was taken away.
Chen Ye kissed her without letting her refuse, and smiled against her lips: "Then I have to take it back at least once, right?"
At the beginning, neither of them was very skilled, and their lips and teeth seemed to be fighting. His movements were also a little hasty, which made Shuyao feel a little painful.
But gradually, he found the way without any teacher.
Instead, he gently caressed her lips.
The rhythm was the opposite of the one in the dream, but it was just as exciting. All the blood in the body seemed to rush to the head, and Shu Yao's ears turned completely red.
Occasionally, there were a few insects chirping outside the window, but this actually amplified the ambiguous sound between the lips and teeth.
Shu Yao nervously clutched the clothes on his chest, tightening her hands.
The teeth were gently pushed open by Chen Ye's tongue tip.
Shu Yao's whole body froze.
She just touched the surface twice. This is too much!
Shu Yao shrank back, and their tongues just touched for a second before they separated because of her action.
Shen Ye paused for a moment, but finally did not insist. After pecking her lips a few times, he ended the intimacy.
Shu Yao felt her lips tingling. She pursed her lips and complained softly, "You're taking it back."
Chen Ye said "Hmm?" with an upward tone, revealing a bit of arrogance and an unspeakable desire.
"Your one time is worth a hundred times of mine."
“Oh.” Chen Ye understood, “You feel that you’ve suffered a loss, right?”
Shu Yao: "A little bit."
"Then let's do this—" Chen Ye lowered his head again, leaving less than two centimeters between their lips. He smiled and hooked her, "You can kiss me a hundred times, just like the ring, win by quantity."
“…”Lost.
Slowly regaining her senses, Shu Yao suddenly remembered that he was still injured, so she quickly pushed him away, stood up, and lifted up his pajamas: "Let me see the wound. Did you just..."
"It's okay." Chen Ye held the back of her hand and suddenly jumped to the topic, "I've said before that I'm used to being attached to others."
Shu Yao: “Ah?”
Although I have said it, I don't have to sound so proud every time.
"So, why do you need to confess? Just wave your hand—" Under the dim light, Chen Ye's last kiss gently fell on her brow, but his tone was still careless and out of tune.
"Didn't I just come here happily?"
*
In the second half of the night, Shu Yao was held in Chen Ye's arms and slept very soundly.
When I woke up, it was almost noon.
This is really rare for her, who has had a regular schedule recently.
She rushed to the bathroom to wash up, and when she was brushing her teeth, Shen Ye walked in.
He stood behind her naturally, put his arms around her waist, and without saying a word, rested his head on her shoulder, as if they were glued to each other.
At this moment, Shu Yao had to say that Zhao Tiantian was really foresighted.
A man who looks cold may indeed be more clingy.
She finally found the reason why the cookies were so sticky.
Looking back at last night, although no one said explicitly “let’s be together” or something like that, both of them were aware of the change in their relationship.
Shu Yao suddenly felt that he had fallen into a misunderstanding. In fact, sometimes, there is no need to deliberately create romance. Obviously, the most romantic things are happening all the time.
She rubbed his head and asked casually, "Did he catch that guy?"
"We caught them. They bribed the staff who showed you the way to take your photo for them."
"That's good."
"According to their account, they originally wanted to go directly to Yinyuan to block you, but they didn't know what you looked like and were afraid of finding the wrong person. In addition, they found that there was surveillance, so they didn't do it." Chen Ye was silent for a moment, and said seriously, "Have you ever considered changing your place of work? The address of Yinyuan can be found on the map. It's too unsafe."
"I've been thinking about that, too." Although there were surveillance cameras at the entrance to Hidden Garden and there were many shops, the studio was becoming increasingly popular, with tourists often taking photos at the entrance. Last time, there was even a drone flying in the courtyard. It really wasn't safe for her to continue living there, and...
"Actually, the exhibition hall is already under preparation. If it's open to the public, it will be even more inconvenient with the constant coming and going of tourists." Shu Yao said slurred words while brushing his teeth, "But we still have to find a new address."
"Leave it to me?" Chen Ye's right hand stroked her waist, "I guarantee you'll be satisfied."
Shu Yao was not polite and nodded and said "OK".
After Shu Yao rinsed her mouth, her lips were wet. Before she could wipe them with a face towel, she heard Chen Ye ask, "What flavor of toothpaste do you use?"
"..." Shu Yao put the toothbrush back into the cup. "You use it yourself too, don't you know?"
"It doesn't smell the same to me." Shen Ye put his right hand on her chin, turned her face to the side, and kissed her from behind.
Shu Yao was complaining about this man's scheming in her heart, but she was already feeling a little dizzy from the kiss.
Especially when facing the mirror, she could clearly see his devoted expression and how intimately their lips were intertwined with each other out of the corner of her eye.
But the second time is always better than the first time.
She slowly relaxed, closing her eyes and moving in step with his movements.
The tip of his tongue touched her lightly, and Shu Yao instinctively retreated again, but this time, he did not stop at a quick taste. He stroked the side of her face with his right hand somewhat forcefully and went deeper again, until Shu Yao felt that she could hardly breathe, and then he slowly withdrew.
Chen Ye licked the corner of his mouth and leaned against the marble beside him, looking lazy after being satisfied.
"Yeah, it's the same."
Shu Yao glared at him and said helplessly, "From now on, you are not allowed to enter the room when I am broadcasting live."
"I know my limits." Chen Ye said, "Do you think I'm going to rush into the live broadcast room and kiss you?"
Shu Yao curled her lips: "In your current state, it's hard to say."
"You can refuse me."
Shu Yao lowered her head and squeezed some facial cleanser into her hands: "I can't refuse."
If she could refuse, if she wanted to refuse, she should have refused just now.
“…” Chen Ye turned her around. There was still a ball of facial cleanser in Shu Yao’s palm, and she raised her hand but didn’t dare to move.
Shen Ye's right hand rested on the marble behind her, leaning forward with a helpless look on his face.
"Could you please not be so honest sometimes?"
"What?"
Shen Ye's gaze glanced slightly downwards.
Shu Yao looked in the direction he was looking, then quickly looked away, his ears reddening, "How could you just..."
Chen Ye was frank: "Who told you to always seduce me? Xiao Chen stood up for too long last night and is still a little restless now."
"You who hook, you hear the hook."
"What?"
"The lewd see lewdness, and the seduced hear seduction."
"..." Chen Ye laughed and fell on her shoulder, "Yi Yi, why are you so cute."
In just one night, he seemed to have completely gotten used to calling him by this nickname, and Shu Yao was also surprised that she had gotten used to it so quickly, and even felt that this nickname was inexplicably familiar.
Moreover, over the past few years, the most common comment Shu Yao heard was "gentle and indifferent". Perhaps only in his eyes was she lovable.
She patted him with her free hand: "Let go, I need to wash my face."
Just then, the phone vibrated, and Shen Ye finally stepped back obediently, lowering his head to confirm the message on the phone.
The sound of water was flowing. After Shu Yao washed her face, she used a face towel to wipe off the water stains on her face.
Just as I put down the face towel, I heard Chen Ye say: "Xu Zhaoli has something to do tonight, I have to go to the bar, I guess I will be back late."
He gently pinched her earlobe: "Will you miss me?"
"No." Shu Yao said stubbornly, "I have cookies to keep me company."
Chen Ye was not disappointed. He placed his right hand on the back of her neck and gently stroked it with his fingertips.
“You’re so hard-mouthed—” Chen Ye put on a wicked smile and leaned over to kiss her on the lips again.
"It's quite soft when you kiss it."
