(7 Fresh Coins) Chapter 24 (Part 2) Each with their own secrets
He did these things so unconsciously that he took it all for granted that this person was by his side. And when that person suddenly left, his anger was terrifying; his repeated outbursts of temper were all because of that person—
So, he had already fallen for her a long time ago. And what about her? From a street thug to a key figure in the underworld, and now a young master of a prestigious family, where did Si Qiang's feelings come from? Back then, he was convinced he loved his own brother and couldn't cross ethical boundaries, yet he was unwilling to simply hand his brother over to someone else. He resorted to almost any means necessary, hurting people—including A Yi and Su Xibai, including Qiangwei caught between him and A Yi… He practically pushed everyone away with his own hands.
Why would she fall for a man like him? Xu Qi knew very well that, for both men and women, he was absolutely not the type suitable as a partner. He had never cared about this before, but after realizing his true feelings, it was already too late. Si Qiang had actually told him she loved him… He couldn't understand, yet he truly saw the deep affection in her eyes. And he, too, felt as if he were floating on clouds, intoxicated by her feelings.
The maid pushed in the food cart, but Si Qiang waved her away and naturally sat down next to the man who was still looking down, seemingly lost in thought. She picked up a spoon to feed him.
Xu Qi's face suddenly flushed red, but he tried his best to remain calm: "What are you doing?"
It was unbelievable that he was being fed water and food. What did they take him for? Although he was indeed not in good condition, he shouldn't be unable to even hold a spoon! What angered him even more was that the culprit behind his current state was the smiling man in front of him!
Si Qiang understood that this man, accustomed to being domineering, would never willingly allow himself to be cared for like this. This man had always been powerful enough, and it was precisely that power that initially attracted him. However, in the long course of his unrequited love, he had gradually developed a strong protective instinct—or rather, a possessive one. He knew this thought was somewhat morbid, but he couldn't help wanting to meld this man into his own body, never letting anyone else touch him. This man belonged to him… he had finally obtained him… he couldn't let him give him to anyone else!
With a barely perceptible wry smile, Si Qiang thought that if this person knew what he was thinking, he would probably turn on him immediately. But at this time, showing a little "consideration" shouldn't be too much...?
"You've been sleeping for almost two days, you need to eat something." Si Qiang scooped up a spoonful of soup and held it to his lips, her face bearing an innocent and pure smile.
Xu Qi was startled and reflexively turned his head. Outside the window, it was already late; the sun was half-submerged in the sea, casting a beautiful golden-red glow on the horizon. He remembered that Si Qiang had woken up in the morning, and then they… two days? That meant it was already the evening of the second day?
So shocked was he that he opened his mouth involuntarily, and Si Qiang seized the opportunity to put the spoon in his mouth, gently lifting it so that the warm soup slid into his mouth. Before he could resist, his body's instincts drove him to swallow it down in one gulp.
"Cough cough..." When he came to his senses, he was filled with shock and anger, and then he caught a choke and started coughing violently.
Si Qiang was startled and quickly patted his back, looking at him worriedly: "I'm sorry, it's okay..."
Before he could finish speaking, his voice trailed off. He saw a blush rise to the pale face, revealing a rare and captivating charm. For a moment, he was mesmerized, staring intently at the man's face, completely unaware of how unusual his behavior was.
Xu Qi didn't notice his unusual behavior, only annoyed that he had completely lost face. Exhausted and having gone almost two days without food, the delicious-tasting soup was the first thing to tempt his stomach, causing his body to betray his will—damn it!
Although he was furious, the man's overly intense gaze finally made him realize something was wrong. He slowly turned his face to the side, meeting his boss Qiang's beautiful cat-like eyes. He was struck head-on by that undisguised, devouring gaze, and his heart felt like it had been hit hard, leaving him stunned and unable to recover.
The man's lips, glistening with the soup, were incredibly alluring. In a moment of impulsiveness, Si Qiang lowered her head and kissed him. Their lips and tongues pressed tightly together, greedily licking the lingering, delicious flavors of the soup inside their mouths, completely lost in the moment.
Caught off guard by his sudden move, Xu Qi was about to push him away when she saw the intoxication on his beautiful face and felt a pang of pity. Her already weak arms became even weaker, and she let him kiss her freely.
Author's Note:
*facepalm*... This couple's lovey-dovey moments are just too much...
However, after spending over ten thousand words building up the foundation, a brief moment of sweetness is somewhat acceptable, haha.
