After a long while, their lips parted.
The woman smoothed her hair, smiled gently, glanced at him sideways, and said, "Do you like the little reward I promised you?"
Bai Ye subconsciously wanted to say "I like it," but then changed her mind and said, "I like... cough cough, could you not give it to me next time? I'm scared."
The woman held up a finger and pressed it against Bai Ye's lips: "That's not up to you!"
Bai Ye was experiencing both pain and joy. He was in pain because he was always passive, but he was also in joy because a loser like him could be liked by women and even be forcibly kissed multiple times.
Bai Ye couldn't help but feel a surge of ambition, thinking that he was no less capable than Bai Ye, but then he realized that his advantage was... he had no advantage!
Therefore, Bai Ye felt a complex mix of emotions regarding this unexpected feeling.
Neither of them spoke after the forced kiss.
Sitting at the dining table, Bai Ye took the takeout food to the table and opened it.
He fell silent as he looked at the eight boxes inside.
Two boxes of rice, and the remaining six are all side dishes.
There were only two of them, and for two people to eat six dishes seemed a bit too extravagant.
The atmosphere was rather awkward, so Bai Ye spoke up, "Sister Qingyue, did we buy too much? Can the two of us finish it?"
Xia Qingyue sat opposite Bai Ye and casually said, "Eat as much as you can. If you can't finish it, just leave it. I don't need the money."
It seemed as if the forceful kiss just now wasn't something she had done so casually.
Bai Ye remained silent for a moment, forgetting that this was a very wealthy woman, and that this amount of money was nothing to her.
Bai Ye glanced at the prices on the list and was speechless for a moment.
Just six dishes and two bowls of rice, and it costs over 300 yuan?
Oh well, let's eat, it's not like he's paying anyway.
Bai Ye took a small bite of the braised pork belly, which was fatty but not greasy, and had a moderate sweetness. It tasted really good, and the sauce poured over rice would be absolutely delicious. (Personally, I think the braised pork belly from Xiaocaiyuan is very tasty, but it can get greasy if you eat too much.)
"Eat this!" Xia Qingyue picked up an octopus from the side and put it into Bai Ye's mouth.
Bai Ye picked up the lunchbox, wanting Xia Qingyue to put it on top.
But Xia Qingyue didn't put down her chopsticks: "Open your mouth, ah!"
Bai Ye said with a bitter expression, "Isn't that inappropriate? Sister Qingyue, I'm not a three-year-old child. Feeding me like that is too embarrassing!"
Xia Qingyue glared at him: "Listen to me!"
The overwhelming aura made Bai Ye tremble, and he quickly opened his mouth.
Bai Ye chewed the food in his mouth. Although it tasted delicious, he felt so tired of eating it!
Xia Qingyue put down her chopsticks, propped her head up with her hand, and asked, "Is it good?"
"tasty!"
"So, which do you think is better, me feeding you or you feeding yourself?"
Bai Ye's hand holding the chopsticks trembled, and she almost broke them with a sudden force.
Bai Ye wiped non-existent cold sweat from his forehead: "Haha, hurry up and eat, Sister Qingyue, the food is getting cold."
Xia Qingyue chuckled lightly, but didn't say anything more, only occasionally picking up food and feeding him.
Bai Ye felt like Xia Qingyue's little pet, letting her feed him as she pleased.
Being fed by a rich woman is indeed a blissful thing, of course, that applies to gigolos who are already being kept.
This proves that the gigolo holds a special place in the heart of the rich woman; to put it simply, he is favored, and the treatment he enjoys is quite different.
Bai Ye wondered if he really gave in, would he be able to just give up and live a carefree life in his next life?
The other party wasn't some ugly fat woman; on the contrary, she was an absolutely stunning beauty. It wouldn't be shameful to give in, at least it would make a lot of people who could only dream of her.
Young and naive, they didn't know the value of rich women and mistook young girls for treasures.
Marrying a rich woman means avoiding decades of detours; a simple wave of the hand is a privilege others could never attain in their entire lives.
Bai Ye sighed helplessly.
His feelings for Xia Qingyue are complicated right now. He likes her, and he definitely does. Men are just lustful creatures; how could he not like someone as beautiful as Xia Qingyue?
It would be self-deception to say you don't like him, and Xia Qingyue is also very good to him, sometimes like a caring older sister, except she loves to tease him too much.
Bai Ye doesn't dislike this, but how strong can a relationship maintained by existing contact be?
There's a saying that goes, "You don't know the cost of firewood and rice until you're in charge of the household." What will he face when he's actually with Xia Qingyue?
He didn't care about the scornful and envious looks from outsiders. As for the bride price, house, car and the like, he would still have to rely on his parents in the end. Although Xia Qingyue was rich and didn't need these things.
But what will his relatives think of him? Will they cut off all contact and never speak to him again?
Putting aside the older generation's outdated concept of marrying someone of equal social standing, Bai Ye estimated that his parents probably wouldn't agree with it.
Of course, the most important thing is that Bai Ye is not confident that he can hold Xia Qingyue's heart forever.
It's possible that Xia Qingyue is only experiencing a temporary sense of novelty. Once that novelty wears off, he'll be like a small boat, easily capsized by a single wave.
The world of the wealthy is always at their beck and call.
This is already a stereotype of Bai Ye.
He couldn't gamble everything on the idea that Xia Qingyue would always love him.
Human nature is complex. Even couples who have been married for many years may quarrel over a small conflict, and divorce is not uncommon.
No rock remains unchanged forever; people always change.
Bai Ye was afraid that he would become addicted to Xia Qingyue's doting affection. It was indeed a happy thing, but what should he do when Xia Qingyue no longer liked him?
By then, he would probably be a social outcast.
So Bai Ye was afraid, afraid of this love, afraid that it would hit a wall like Yao Yuyan's relationship.
We only learn to cherish things after we've separated, and we only try to hold on after they've left. But things that come too late are never the same as the love we had at the beginning.
He seemed to have already made up his mind about one thing: Xia Qingyue was a good person, but he couldn't keep her.
Things that can't be kept are futile no matter how much you try to hold on to them.
Bai Ye took a deep breath, and there was something he really wanted to say.
He wanted to express his worries and inner struggle directly, but seeing the undisguised emotion in Xia Qingyue's eyes, he unconsciously swallowed his words.
Unconsciously, he had become somewhat enamored with the atmosphere at the moment, and Bai Ye couldn't help but fantasize about this scene in his mind.
The wife gazed lovingly at her husband, feeding him, and the two chatted and laughed together in a warm and romantic atmosphere.
That must be a beautiful scene of human life.
Bai Ye picked at the rice in his bowl, no longer looking at her.
But the next second, a small, cold foot covered her feet.
Bai Ye looked down and saw that Xia Qingyue's calf had somehow stepped on his foot.
It was itchy, tickling Bai Ye's mind.
Bai Ye glanced at her, but Xia Qingyue pretended to be nonchalant.
Helpless, Bai Ye moved her foot away.
However, Xia Qingyue relentlessly pursued him. Her crystal-clear little feet gently lifted, and her two manicured toes gently pinched the skin on Bai Ye's calf.
Even though she couldn't pick it up with her chopsticks, Xia Qingyue seemed to enjoy it immensely and kept trying.
Bai Ye subconsciously reached out and grabbed the culprit.
Xia Qingyue seemed surprised by Bai Ye's boldness, and her eyes widened in astonishment.
Bai Ye realized what he had done, quickly let go of her hand, lowered his head and continued eating, not daring to look at Xia Qingyue.
Xia Qingyue also fell silent and withdrew her leg, her cheeks flushed. She hadn't expected Bai Ye to be so bold.
The two fell silent again.
