Chapter 43: Relieving Heat
◎At least it proves that he's not a stomach-boosting guy, right?◎
Ji Nan's hand moved up along the spine, and finally his palm stopped at the shoulder and neck.
He gently scratched Zhong Jiajing's throat with his thumb. This was where a man's Adam's apple should be, but her throat was flat and smooth.
Ji Nan seemed to find it strange, rubbing his thumb back and forth. The other four fingers rested lightly on the back of his neck, without any movement.
The curtains were drawn with only a tiny gap, letting in almost no light, but Zhong Jiajing could clearly see the outline of Ji Nan in front of her, especially the shape of his eyes.
He had a pair of enlarged almond-shaped eyes, which were larger and rounder than ordinary almond-shaped eyes, making them less seductive when viewed in daily life.
Perhaps it was the atmosphere of tonight that made his slightly narrowed eyes take on the standard phoenix shape, full of both allure and lust.
Ji Nan's eyes were too blurry when he looked at her. Zhong Jiajing felt that he was like a half-drunk demon who seemed ready to knock her off her feet at any time.
Zhong Jiajing asked him, "How can I save you?"
The air in the room grew thinner, and she began to have difficulty speaking.
Ji Nan felt the trembling of her arteries when she spoke, and he smiled with his eyebrows curved.
"Like this," he leaned forward, leaving a "pop" sound on her lips. "It's my favorite scene in TV dramas, when one person is suffocating, they breathe."
Zhong Jiajing's face flushed red. "But I'm here to take your life..."
"You're not like this when you're drunk normally," Ji Nan's eyes were blazing. "You're very clingy. You'll force yourself to get under my clothes, ask for kisses, cling to me, and so on..."
Zhong Jiajing interrupted him angrily, "But I'm not drunk today!"
"Who was the one who needed to drink the sobering soup just now? Besides, a drunk person will not admit that he is drunk." He was determined to give her this title.
The four fingers resting on the back of the neck started to work after they had rested enough. The cold knuckles exerted a little force, and Zhong Jiajing's neck involuntarily pressed down with her small head.
Ji Nan kissed her, slowly moving from the corner of her lips to the middle.
It's not just a brief moment, but a force that cannot be restrained and does not want to be restrained.
Biting, rubbing, blending...
The poor air can only sneak in through the gaps when the opportunity arises, but this is far from enough for a normal adult, let alone an adult with huge consumption.
The difficulty in breathing, the soreness in the bent neck, and the numb lips are all accusing, they ask for an end to this "war", but the paralyzed brain and heart, as the main controllers of the body, are reluctant to let go.
Zhong Jiajing was somewhat addicted to this oxygen-deficient environment, and under Ji Nan's enticement, she tried to slowly become the leader.
Ji Nan's entire big hand also covered the back of her neck for support, as if to encourage her.
When the tip of her tongue was trying to become the invading party, Zhong Jiajing suddenly lost her mind and called a stop.
She could clearly feel the strange reaction from the man's body.
The thin blanket had already flown to the ground, and only each other's clothes were between them.
Even Ji Nan was wearing the out-of-season summer pajamas that Zhong's mother had bought for 35 yuan at the vegetable market early in the morning. The pajamas were made of cool and comfortable cotton and linen, but they couldn't dissipate heat.
Zhong Jiajing was startled by the strange touch. She turned around and rolled to the floor.
She sat on the warm floor with her back against the bed and only then did she feel half awake. She covered her red face with her hands and muttered to herself.
"This is a normal physiological phenomenon. We should treat it rationally. At least it proves that he is not a stomach-raising man, right?"
Ji Nan's voice was hoarse and dry. He asked curiously, "What's good for the stomach?"
Zhong Jiajing remained silent. After all, it was a bit embarrassing to say such things in public.
Seeing that she didn't answer, Ji Nan didn't ask any further questions. He just sat on the bed and calmed down for a long time before leaning over to turn on the lamp on the other side of the bed.
The light is dim, but at a moderate distance from people, so it is not too glaring.
The floor was heated so it wasn't too cold, so Ji Nan didn't ask her to sit back on the bed.
The shoulder strap of one side of her nightgown fell on her arm in the chaos. Ji Nan raised his hand to help her straighten it. Zhong Jiajing shrank back reflexively, but her hands were still tightly covering her face and she refused to let go.
The environment with heating on is always dry. Many years ago, Ji Nan got into the habit of putting a glass of water next to his bed before going to bed on winter nights so that he could drink it when he woke up thirsty in the middle of the night.
But today was the first time that the water had to be spent before I even had time to fall asleep.
Ji Nan got off the bed and sat in front of her, "Drink some water?"
Zhong Jiajing removed her index finger and looked at him through the gap. "Are you ready?"
It sounded muffled and full of shame.
When asked which part, both parties knew it clearly.
Ji Nan's ears flushed red, and he muttered, "How can it be that simple? Finish your drink and go back."
It's good for everyone to say goodbye at this moment.
Zhong Jiajing hurriedly took the water and gulped it down. She raised her hand to casually wipe the water stains from the corners of her mouth and whispered tentatively, "Then I'll go first?"
Ji Nan held his forehead and nodded, sighing softly, "Go."
Zhong Jiajing stared at his somewhat depressed body, thought for a while, and then slipped out, but came back in less than a minute.
She brought him a large glass of mint water with ice and said, "Let off some steam."
Having said that, he ran away without stopping.
Ji Nan was still sitting there, and he laughed a little, "If only it were that easy."
The ice water made his teeth chatter, but he still drank it all in one breath, even chewing and swallowing two ice cubes that were still formed.
All parts of the body became quiet, except that place which was still burning hot.
Ji Nan cursed softly twice, then finally got up and went into the bathroom outside.
Zhong Jiajing washed her face but the heat didn't go away. The temperature on her face was even higher than after drinking.
The skin on her throat turned red from Ji Nan's scraping with a moderate force. She felt that it was a good thing that she could wear a turtleneck and a scarf in winter, otherwise she would have to deceive herself with the unconvincing excuse of scraping.
The blush on her face made her feel more and more embarrassed. Zhong Jiajing simply turned off the light, threw herself on the bed, and buried her head in the pillow.
Both of them tossed and turned for a while before they fell asleep before dawn.
It was normal that Zhong Jiajing didn't get up at nine o'clock the next morning, but it was a bit strange that Ji Nan, who was known for his hard work, didn't get up either.
Breakfast is ready, so of course I can’t miss it.
Mother Zhong said to Father Zhong, "Go call Xiao Ji, and I'll go call Jia Jia."
Mr. Zhong knocked on the door but heard no response. He opened the door and went in to find Ji Nan, whose face was flushed and who had fallen into a coma.
He raised his hand to check the temperature of his forehead. It was burning hot, a sign of a fever.
Dad Zhong was shocked and quickly called Mom Zhong to give the baby medicine to reduce the fever.
Zhong Jiajing, who had been drowsy before, suddenly became clear-headed. She helped put on the fever-reducing patch, but she felt guilty inside.
Maybe it was the disaster caused by the glass of ice water she drank yesterday, she thought.
"It's stuffy with so many people in the house, so let Jiajia stay here to watch." Mother Zhong's words woke her up from her wandering thoughts.
Zhong Jiajing nodded, took the breakfast her mother brought her, but she had no appetite anymore. She was already stuck in the fact that she was an unknowing sinner.
Ji Nan wasn't completely asleep, but his mind was a mess.
His throat was burning and painful, so Zhong Jiajing helped him and fed him a glass of warm water, then asked him if he wanted to have breakfast.
Ji Nan shook his head and said, "Eat it, then go back and catch up on some sleep."
"How can I have the mood to eat if you're like this?" Zhong Jiajing's voice was very soft.
Ji Nan raised his hand with difficulty and patted the back of her head gently, "It's not like I haven't seen it before."
He was so sick that day when he had to take Ren Jiang's car to go back with Zhong Jiajing. Wouldn't he still be able to go with her to deal with Dongdong's lameness the next day?
"I shouldn't have poured you that glass of ice water yesterday." She was a little annoyed.
Ji Nan said in a hoarse voice: "Don't blame yourself. If you hadn't gone to bed so early last night, you would have found yourself being the scapegoat."
"I took a warm bath yesterday," he added.
This is a beautified answer. To be precise, he took a cold shower.
Zhong Jiajing wasn't feeling much better either, with a pouty face and looking extremely uncomfortable.
Ji Nan pinched her face and said, "I'm sorry for making you worry."
"To make me feel less guilty, please go out and rest first."
"I don't want to infect you with the virus. Otherwise, how will the workers fight for the capitalists tomorrow?"
He joked with a smile, but Zhong Jiajing didn't buy it today.
She dug out a medical mask from the cupboard and put it on, saying, "That's all."
Ji Nan's mind was groggy and he couldn't persuade her, so he could only let her, a rough man, fall asleep in her arms around him, a frail little man.
Today is New Year's Day holiday
PanPan
On the last day, Zhong Jiajing needed to return.
Tickets are particularly popular during the holidays, but there are many trains from Zhenjiang to Shanghai, so Ji Nan doesn't have to worry about not being able to buy a ticket if he places an order at the last minute. However, he really can't buy a ticket on the same train as Zhong Jiajing.
His departure time was forty minutes later than Zhong Jiajing's, and his ticket was for 8:40 p.m.
Seeing his sickly face, which couldn't be concealed even by the mask, Zhong's mother worriedly advised, "You don't have to punch in for work anyway, so why not just stay home for a few more days?"
Ji Nan went forward and hugged her, "Don't worry, Auntie. I've felt much better after taking the medicine. I'll definitely bother you and uncle more often in the future. Please don't find me annoying when the time comes."
Mother Zhong helped him tie his scarf tightly. "Speaking of which, I can't thank you enough for helping me take care of Jiajia. This child is usually reckless, and it's hard for you to worry about her."
After a few words of concern, Mr. Zhong finally drove the two of them to the station himself.
Zhong Jiajing got on the bus first. Before checking her ticket, she frowned and looked back and forth at the man in front of her, looking worried.
"I feel like I'm going to die if you do this." Ji Nan lifted his heavy eyelids to look at her. "I guess everyone along the way will look at me with pity, and even God will sigh with pity when he sees me. It's really thanks to you that I will probably be born a good child in my next life."
"Pfft, pfft, pfft." Zhong Jiajing spat a few times. "What are you talking about on New Year's Day?"
Ji Nan smiled. He pulled her palm and kissed it through the mask. "Yeah, you won't die."
The ticket check line in front was almost empty. He pulled her luggage forward and said, "Let's go. I've asked someone to pick you up."
Zhong Jiajing turned around and hugged him, saying in a muffled voice, "You should also pay attention to safety. If you feel uncomfortable, remember to ask the flight attendant."
"Well, don't worry, Butler Zhong." He patted her head.
Half an hour before getting off the bus, Ji Nan suddenly received a call from a friend.
"Your partner said he wants to wait for you, what should I do?"
Ji Nan coughed twice and replied after a while, "You can chat with her for a while, and you can leave in half an hour."
"By the way, leave the car keys."
My friend grumbled sourly, "So I'm just part of your play?"
Ji Nan said coldly, "Have you not changed your glasses in ten years? Why do you have such blind confidence?"
Friend: Thank you, I’m being too sentimental.

I have improved the copy of "Reject Social Death". If I am not too busy at work and my inspiration has not dried up, I may start it next month.

The text is as follows:
1.
On the first day of working at the new company, Qin Yi encountered a downpour without an umbrella.
In order to avoid getting drenched, she resolutely and shamelessly crawled under the handsome guy's umbrella and said she would give him a huge thank-you fee of 20 yuan.
But when she looked at the pitiful balance of 381.25 yuan in her WeChat wallet, she made a decision that went against her ancestors' tradition - to buy on credit.
Unfortunately, enemies often meet on a narrow road. Who would have thought that the creditor from two minutes ago turned out to be his immediate boss.
She trembled with fear. Her boss was merciless and even raised the price. "Remember to write an IOU for the fifty yuan you owe me."
2.
The thing Qin Yi does most regularly is to tease a food blogger who only shows his hands in the comment section at 8 o'clock every Saturday night.
【It's you, come out and have some love. 】
[My family is in need of a good wife, is it possible to get married? ]
[You've been married for so long, why do you only show me cooking videos every week? huh? ]
Of course, like many other lechers, she never received any reply.
But one day, the boss suddenly came to the house carrying large and small bags of food.
Qin Yi was a little apprehensive, "Mr. Xu, what are you doing?"
"Cooking at my house." Xu Cheng'an folded his arms and glanced at her. "Is it necessary for us, an old married couple, to be so formal?"
