Chapter 27 Brandy Sour "Don't stop, keep going."
On their last night in City A, Chen Shili invited Shen Cen to drink the local specialty, craft beer with chili oil.
The shop was right next to their hotel, just a few steps away.
Since we're drinking late at night, how can we not talk about some private topics?
Chen Shili asked Shen Cen gossipily, "Ahem, junior sister, if I may be so bold as to ask, have you and your boss Jiang... you know... done that?"
Although Shen Cen told her that day that her marriage with Jiang Shiyu was just a contract marriage, in Chen Shili's opinion, it didn't matter whether it was a real marriage or a fake one. As long as the atmosphere was right, doing that kind of thing would be a natural progression, since they were both energetic young people.
"Of course not."
A blush rose to Shen Cen's cheeks, whether from the slight intoxication of the wine or from feeling embarrassed about the topic, it was hard to tell.
Chen Shili clicked his tongue twice in disappointment: "You actually managed to control yourself? But your boss Jiang seems to have great stamina."
Shen Cen didn't know about Jiang Shiyu's stamina, but she was certain that his lung capacity was among the best. Otherwise, how could Jiang Shiyu's breathing have remained so steady when they had been passionately kissing for over twenty minutes in the car that day, leaving her breathless?
"We've been married for a few months now. Let's put aside feelings. Do you ever have any physical urges towards him?" Chen Shili finished his beer and asked the waiter to bring them two more. "For example, do you ever want to see his abs, or even touch them?"
Shen Cen kept quiet, holding back his words.
Chen Shili covered her mouth: "Really?"
Shen Cen remained silent.
Chen Shili patted her shoulder: "It's only natural, don't be shy. I think if you want to touch him, just touch him. He's your husband anyway, what's wrong with touching his abs? You could sleep with him and it wouldn't matter."
"Senior sister!" Shen Cen became more and more embarrassed as she spoke, and a blush rose to her face.
Just then, the waiter brought over the beer and barbecue. Chen Shili picked up a glass of beer and handed it to Shen Cen: "Okay, okay, I won't say anything more. You should try this beer. I saw some really good reviews online."
"This liquor isn't too strong, is it?"
"I don't know either... but it should be alright, right? I saw that lady at the next table had already had two drinks."
Seeing this, Shen Cen felt relieved and went to drink. This craft beer with chili oil lived up to its name; after just one sip, Shen Cen's throat was already choked and he couldn't speak, but the taste was also very intoxicating.
After nearly two drinks, Chen Shili noticed that Shen Cen had two large red cheeks on his face and looked like he was about to fall asleep, and realized that Shen Cen was actually drunk.
"Junior sister, you're a two-cup wonder?" Chen Shili asked in shock, as she felt no effect after drinking two cups.
"I'll go ask the shopkeeper if they have any hangover soup. Wait for me a minute, don't wander off, and don't talk to anyone!" After saying that, she quickly ran back to the shop.
Shen Cen looked around in a daze. Perhaps because she was drunk, she vaguely saw Jiang Shiyu's figure.
She rubbed her eyes, only to find that the figure not only did not disappear, but instead grew infinitely larger.
Until the man stood in front of her, reached out and tucked the wet hair that was stuck to her cheek behind her ear.
She didn't flinch, but blinked twice in disbelief, her eyes filled with confusion: "How come you look exactly like Jiang Shiyu?"
Jiang Shiyu could not possibly come to City A. Who is this person who looks exactly like him?
Upon hearing this, the man's lips curled up slightly, and he chuckled softly: "What, can't it be the person in person?"
"The person himself?" Shen Cen grabbed Jiang Shiyu's sleeve, pulled him closer, looked him up and down, and then suddenly let go. "Not the person himself."
Jiang Shiyu found it amusing. "Tell me, why isn't it the person in real life?"
"...He's not coming."
Shen Cen muttered a few words in a low voice, and Jiang Shiyu only caught the last sentence.
However, he did notice that the drunken Shen Cen talked much more than usual, just like a little girl who likes to hum and talk to herself when she's alone.
He simply sat down in the empty seat to Shen Cen's right. The stool was low, and his long legs had nowhere to go. After fidgeting for a while, he found the most elegant and relatively comfortable position and continued with the previous topic: "Then tell me, why didn't Jiang Shiyu come?"
Shen Cen rested his arms on the table, propped his chin on his hands, looked up at the sky and thought for a while before asking the man opposite him, "Then why did he come?"
"What if he misses you..."
Before Jiang Shiyu could finish speaking, Shen Cen suddenly stood up and covered his mouth, saying, "Don't talk nonsense!"
Jiang Shiyu instantly felt a soft cotton ball pressed against his lips, fragrant and soft, an indescribable feeling, and his heart seemed to be gently swept by this cotton ball.
Shen Cen suddenly realized that her action was inappropriate. Although this man resembled Jiang Shiyu, he was not the real Jiang Shiyu after all. So she withdrew her hand, wiped it vigorously on her clothes, and continued, "If Jiang Shiyu hears this, he will definitely laugh at me again."
Why did he laugh at you?
"How could he possibly miss me! He'd say I'm deluding myself, and he'd even ask me if I missed him!" Shen Cen got angrier and angrier as she spoke, her face puffing up.
A laugh escaped Jiang Shiyu's throat. "Do you miss him?"
"I?"
This question seemed to stump her. She twirled the end of her hair with her fingers, thought for a long time, and then nodded: "Just a little bit..."
As she spoke, she gestured a "little bit" gesture.
Jiang Shiyu's smile became even more pronounced.
However, Shen Cen added, "It's almost negligible."
Jiang Shiyu's smile vanished instantly, and he tapped Shen Cen on the forehead: "You little ingrate."
Chen Shili returned from the kitchen after finishing cooking the hangover soup and saw a man sitting in her seat. The man even patted Shen Cen on the head. Chen Shili was startled and almost spilled the hangover soup.
She slid in front of the man and shouted:
"Stay away from her... Oh, is that Boss Jiang?"
She could only see the man's back, and from that, she could tell that he had an extremely good physique, but she never imagined that he was Jiang Shiyu.
Wasn't it a fake marriage with no feelings involved? Why did they still follow her all the way to City A?
Jiang Shiyu stood up, returned the seat to its rightful owner, nodded slightly, and said very politely, "Hello."
"My name is Chen Shili, and I am Xiao Cen's colleague."
As he spoke, Chen Shili handed over the hangover soup, saying, "This is a freshly made hangover soup. I didn't expect Junior Sister Cen to have such a low alcohol tolerance; she got drunk after just two cups. You can feed her this."
Jiang Shiyu accepted it. "Thank you, Miss Chen. Also, do you know which room Xiao Cen is in? I can take her back to rest."
Chen Shili gave Shen Cen's room number, "The room key should be in her bag, Mr. Jiang, please look for it."
With Jiang Shiyu taking care of Shen Cen, Chen Shili was naturally at ease.
At this moment, Shen Cen noticed that Chen Shili had returned, so she pointed at Jiang Shiyu and said to her, "Senior sister, I saw someone who looks just like Jiang Shiyu."
Chen Shili chuckled: "Junior sister, he is Jiang Shiyu himself."
"Huh?" Shen Cen looked Jiang Shiyu up and down more carefully. "You're Jiang Shiyu?"
Jiang Shiyu also admitted, "Yes."
She believed the man in front of her, after all, Chen Shili also said that he was the real person.
However, she started thinking about why Jiang Shiyu would come to City A, but as soon as she started thinking about it, her head began to ache again.
She frowned and covered her temples.
Seeing that Shen Cen was not feeling well, Jiang Shiyu helped her up and said, "Then, I'll take her back to rest first."
"Okay, you guys go ahead, I'm going to get something to eat."
As Chen Shili watched the two figures disappear, he began to ponder why Jiang Shiyu had come to City A.
Inadvertently, she glanced at the still steaming, untouched hangover soup on the table. She picked up the small bowl and got up to chase after them, but the two figures had already disappeared from sight, so she had to give up.
She put the bowl back on the table, then suddenly remembered some of the comments she had seen that day, and it dawned on her: there was only one possibility, Jiang Shiyu liked Shen Cen!
-
With a "beep", the hotel room door was opened.
Jiang Shiyu helped Shen Cen sit on the shoe cabinet, took off her uncomfortable sneakers, and put on comfortable slippers for her. However, before he could even put on the second slipper, Shen Cen kicked it away.
Jiang Shiyu shook his head helplessly and reached out to pick her up. Shen Cen was very light, and Jiang Shiyu didn't even need to use much strength to hold her firmly in his arms.
He put her on the bed and prepared to go to the bathroom to get a towel to wipe her body. But unexpectedly, as soon as he turned around, Shen Cen reached out and grabbed the corner of his shirt.
The woman tilted her head back and asked pitifully, "Can I touch your abs?"
Because she had been drinking, her eyes were red, making her look pitiful, as if she would burst into tears the next second if Jiang Shiyu refused her request.
Jiang Shiyu froze, his arm muscles twitching almost imperceptibly. He asked in a low, hoarse voice, "What did you say?"
"Hmph, I just want to touch his abs." She reached out her other hand to unbutton Jiang Shiyu's shirt.
Even though Jiang Shiyu usually liked to tease Shen Cen and had asked her if she wanted to touch his abs, he still couldn't help but panic when faced with this situation.
He quickly pressed down on Chen Cen's hand: "No, who taught you that?"
Shen Cen seemed startled and immediately withdrew her hand, but she still spoke confidently: "Nobody taught me. I just want to touch your abs. I've wanted to touch them for a long time."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Shiyu felt a surge of heat coursing through his body: "Chen Cen, you know what you're doing, right? You also know who I am, don't you?"
Shen Cen nodded vigorously: "I know, I want to touch your abs, you are Jiang Shiyu."
The woman's serious answer amused Jiang Shiyu; her laughter was deep and sexy.
"Okay, I hope you remember what you did when you wake up tomorrow morning." Jiang Shiyu took her hand and put it back on the buttons of his shirt.
Shen Cen deftly unbuttoned all the buttons. Instantly, the man's perfect abdominal muscles were revealed before her. Coupled with Jiang Shiyu's broad shoulders and narrow waist, he perfectly embodied the meaning of sexiness.
However, Chen Cen, who had unbuttoned his shirt, did not rush to touch it, as if he was thinking about something.
"What are you thinking about?" Jiang Shiyu ruffled her hair. "Trying to run away at the last minute?"
"Could you lie down?" Although it was a request, the tone was clearly demanding.
Jiang Shiyu was truly helpless against the woman in front of him. "Fine, I'll lie down."
The next second, the woman's small hand impatiently touched the man's hot muscles. It was her first time touching a man's abs, and she was clearly inexperienced. Her small hand groped haphazardly, trying to touch everything but only lightly touching it.
She seemed to be enjoying touching it, giggling, "So soft, so smooth, just like it says on it."
"Hmm? Which one?"
Jiang Shiyu tilted his head and leaned close to Chen Cen's ear, his voice lingering and ambiguous.
Chen Cen stopped what he was doing and frowned as he thought.
"Keep your hands busy, keep going."
"Oh." Shen Cen's hand continued to caress the area, thinking as she touched it. Half a minute later, she remembered where she had seen it before, but...
"I can't tell you my secret."
"There's another secret?" Jiang Shiyu laughed in exasperation.
...
When Shen Cen woke up the next day, his head didn't hurt too much, but at the same time, most of his memories came flooding back.
She wanted to play dead, keeping her eyes closed and motionless.
However, Jiang Shiyu saw through this little trick.
"woke up?"
The man's eyes curved into a nice arc, and he seemed to be in a very good mood.
"Mmm." Shen Cen pulled the blanket over herself, burying her face in it, and responded softly. Needless to say, she knew she looked like a cowardly quail.
After a few seconds of silence, Shen Cen suddenly felt a heavy weight pressing down on him.
Jiang Shiyu, shirtless, braced himself on either side of her, pressing his entire body against hers. Even through the blanket, Shen Cen could still feel how hot his breath was.
Slowly, the man's lips touched her earlobe, and he spoke softly:
"Why is Teacher Shen being timid?"
"Weren't you very arrogant when you tried to touch my abs yesterday?"
