Chapter 572 Extra Chapter—I Like You.
Lu Nange felt a burning sensation on her lips and his cool breath, mixed with a slight alcohol intoxication, making her head spin, as if she were walking on clouds.
Chi Yanzhou's arm was still wrapped around her waist, the force not strong, but it carried a possessive meaning that she could not break free from.
His other hand was still gently holding the back of her neck, his fingertips unconsciously caressing the delicate skin on the back of her neck.
Their phones kept vibrating incessantly, one after the other...
The buzzing sound persisted stubbornly through the thin fabric, again and again, relentlessly trying to break through the hazy barrier within this small space.
"Telephone..."
Lu Nange regained some of her senses, turned her head, and gently pushed against the chest that was still pressed tightly against her.
Chi Yanzhou reluctantly raised his head and stepped back a little, but he did not loosen his grip on her waist.
His gaze fell on her face, tracing it carefully.
Those eyes were shimmering with moisture, the corners tinged with a captivating blush, as if they had been adorned with the finest rouge.
Her lips were slightly swollen and moist, which made his eyes darken even more... He took a deep breath in restraint.
He buried his burning cheeks in her warm neck like a large dog seeking comfort.
I took a deep breath of her scent, a mixture of faint alcohol and her own sweet fragrance.
His hot breath sprayed all over her skin, sending a shiver down her spine.
Lu Nange felt a tingling, itchy sensation on her neck and couldn't help but shrink back, protesting softly, "It itches..."
But in return, he pressed even closer and whispered, "Don't move."
She could only suppress the strange feeling and pull out her phone, which was still stubbornly vibrating.
"My brother!" she whispered, a hint of guilt in her voice as if she'd been caught red-handed.
Chi Yanzhou straightened up, took out his phone, unlocked the screen, and saw that all the missed calls were marked in red as "Lu Xici".
“He’s also our brother.” He glanced at him, his voice still hoarse, but his tone was somewhat helpless.
Lu Nange: [Our brother? As expected of you, you really know how to take advantage of a situation!]
He turned his head slightly, his gaze passing over Lu Nange's slightly messy hair and red ear tips, and landing behind the pillar diagonally opposite.
"Chi Yi."
There was silence behind the pillar for two seconds, and then Chi Yi slowly emerged.
His face still held the excitement of "bumping into something" and the embarrassment of "being discovered," making for a very interesting expression.
He coughed lightly, cleared his throat, and tried to explain, "Young Master, Nan Nan, um... I was just checking in and making a note of this..."
Hmm, a historic moment? ...Would you believe me if I said I didn't mean it?
The more he spoke, the less confident he became.
Lu Nange's face was still flushed: "I don't believe it!!! Brother Chi, it's one thing for you to peek, but you also took pictures of me, and then you posted them in the group chat, didn't you?"
I never expected you to be like this, Chi Yi Ge!
Chi Yi immediately straightened his back, his expression becoming serious and sincere.
"Nan Nan, as a professional butler, although I can't say it, the young master hasn't smiled like this in a long time."
But I must state one fact: it has been a long time since the young master has had such a genuine smile in his eyes and brows as he did just now.
He paused, then his tone became tinged with barely suppressed excitement.
"Of course, my favorite couple actually came true, and my urge to share it reached its peak, and I really couldn't control myself. That was my mistake. I apologize!"
Lu Nange sighed, "Zhuo-ge, get off Chi Yi-ge right now! Give us back our proper and steady Chi Yi-ge!"
Chi Yi: "Nan Nan, I'm the real deal..."
"Stop fooling around." Chi Yanzhou raised his hand and gently tucked a strand of hair that had been slightly ruffled during the kiss behind Lu Nange's ear.
Then, turning his head, he looked at Chi Yi, who was still trying hard to suppress his laughter, without any emotion: "Get in the car, we'll be right there."
"Yes, young master!" Chi Yi felt as if he had been granted a pardon and quickly walked outside.
But in that instant of turning around, the corners of his mouth finally couldn't be controlled and turned up wildly.
He walked along, swiping his finger across the screen...
Chi Yi: [It's done! It really happened! This is so sweet!]
Gu Qi: [Warrior, I need pictures and the truth!]
Shi Xu: [I don't believe it unless I see it with my own eyes!]
He Zhuo: [??? I don't believe you! Unless you bring me a high-definition, uncensored front-facing photo! (reaches out)]
Gu Wan: [Ahhh... I need another picture! Chi Yi-ge, you can't keep this all to yourself!]
Luo Xingyou: [Did they kiss? Did they kiss? (Clutches her chest)]
Chi Yi: [This... you should ask the person involved next time for the details!]
Everything I could post... everything I dared to post, I've already shared in the group! (wiping sweat)
If I were any more powerful, the master might banish me to the Arctic!
Lu Xici held her phone, making a call on speakerphone while staring at the group messages: [(Full of murderous intent)]
Lu Xici: [(Carrying a forty-meter-long machete)]
Lu Xici: [You're all dead meat! Chi Yi, let that bastard Chi Yanzhou answer the phone!]
Gu Qi: [(Trying to calm) Brother Ci, calm down. Based on the current intelligence analysis, it should still be at a relatively... innocent physical contact stage.]
For example, holding hands? Or, hugging?
Lu Xici: [Get lost! I'm going to chop that brat Chi Yanzhou up!]
Luo Xingyou: [Ci-ge, besides Yan-ge, who else do you think is good enough for our Nannan!]
Wen Qing: [I vote for Xiao Chi!]
Gu Wan: [I vote for Yan-ge!]
Ji Xian: [I'll definitely vote for Yan Ge!]
......
Watching Chi Yi's almost floating figure as he left, Lu Nange couldn't help but mutter to herself, trying to distract herself from her still wildly beating heart.
"It's true what they say, 'One who stays near vermilion gets stained red, and one who stays near ink gets stained black'... After hanging out with Brother Zhuo and Brother Gu Qi for so long..."
Even the usually serious and composed Chi Yige has been completely corrupted.
Before she could finish speaking, she felt an intensely burning gaze directed at her from the side...
Looking up, the emotions churning inside were so intense, it seemed to want to suck her in and completely devour her.
The rest of her words caught in her throat. She looked away uncomfortably, not daring to meet his gaze: "You... stay away from me."
Instead of retreating as she wished, Chi Yanzhou leaned slightly closer.
The distance between them was once again compressed to the point where they could hear each other's breaths, and his aura enveloped her completely.
"Stay away from you?" he repeated in a low voice, the last syllable rising slightly.
He paused, his gaze fixed on her blushing earlobes and trembling eyelashes, and slowly pressed for an answer.
"I never expected you to be like this, Nan Nan... We've already kissed, taken advantage of each other, and now you want to push me away..."
So... you're not going to take responsibility?
Lu Nange was provoked by his counter-accusation and looked up at him with wide, wet eyes.
"Who took advantage of whom? It was clearly you..." Under his gaze, her words inexplicably lost their momentum, and her voice gradually faded.
"...We've already kissed, what more do you want? Besides...didn't you kiss me back?"
Chi Yanzhou looked at her embarrassed yet trying-to-remain calm appearance, a faint smile flashed across his eyes, which was then replaced by seriousness.
His hands, which had been loosely around her waist, tightened slightly.
His eyelids lifted slightly, revealing the turbulent emotions within them—a pure and fervent affection, imbued with the earnestness that had been cultivated over many years...
"Nan Nan, I like you."
It was not a question, not a test, but a calm and confident statement.
Lu Nange's heart skipped a beat, then began to pound wildly, making her chest go numb.
She looked at his face so close to hers, her throat felt dry, and it took her a long while to recover.
"I...I can see it."
[Of course! They were kissing like that, I'm not stupid, how could I not tell?]
If Gu Wan and her group were present, they would undoubtedly reply with: "[You have absolutely no idea about your own emotional intelligence...]"
