41 Hot Kiss
◎Who told you to stick out your tongue?◎
The knocking stopped the moment the door was opened.
Qin Yue saw who was standing at the door and took a step forward without leaving a trace. He looked calm and composed, his thin lips slightly parted with a hint of doubt. "Mom?"
Hearing this sound, Song Shixi, who was hiding in the closet, held his breath silently, hugged his knees tightly without daring to breathe, and his heart was beating wildly.
"Where's Shi Xi?" Zheng Huilan stood at the door of the room, looking straight into the room, but Qin Yue was too tall to see the door, so she could only shift her gaze to his face.
It's obvious that something is wrong at first glance.
Half of Qin Yue's body was hidden in the shadows, but one could still see a blush spreading from the corners of his eyes to the depths of his neck. His short black hair was messy and fluffy, his eyebrows were drooping, and he looked lazy and nonchalant, but his eyes were clearly full of smiles.
It seems like something good has happened.
Qin Yue noticed Zheng Huilan's gaze and met her eyes calmly, saying, "She took the gift and went downstairs."
Upon hearing this, Zheng Huilan frowned slightly. She had been staring at the stairs and did not see Song Shixi coming down the stairs, but perhaps she missed it. After all, many juniors came to greet her along the way.
But Qin Yue was indeed a little puzzled. She couldn't help but glance inside again suspiciously, and asked, "It's so hot, isn't it hot to wear a coat? I remember in your closet..."
After saying that, he raised his foot and was about to walk past Qin Yue and go inside.
Qin Yue's eyes were dark, and the corners of his lips pulled up in a neutral arc. He said just right: "It's hot, but this is a gift from my girlfriend. I have to wear it when I go to see her later."
Having said that, he glanced in a certain direction out of the corner of his eye.
When Song Shixi in the closet heard those three words, two blushes appeared on her fair cheeks. She stroked the hem of her skirt with her fingertips twice and couldn't help but spit at Qin Yue in her heart.
This successfully diverted Zheng Huilan's attention. Her eyes lit up, and she paused, then raised her voice and repeated, "Girlfriend?"
Her eyes subconsciously fell on Qin Yue's coat. He had many similar styles, and she couldn't tell which one was special at first, but sometimes the clothes are not important, but the person who buys it is important.
This was the first time Qin Yue admitted to her that he was dating someone. Zheng Huilan couldn't hide her excitement for a moment. Her eyes were slits with smiles, and she couldn't help but agree, "Yes, yes, it's a gift from my girlfriend. No matter how hot it is, I have to wear it."
After he finished speaking, he thought of something and asked, "Are you going out later?"
"It's still uncertain." Qin Yue's face was calm and expressionless, and he said meaningfully, "I'll go when this banquet is over."
When mentioning this banquet, Qin Yue's brows lowered slightly, and a hint of displeasure flashed across his eyes.
"I'm here, nothing will happen if you're not here." Zheng Huilan waved her hand, indicating that Qin Yue could leave later, but unexpectedly he shook his head, "It's not appropriate."
After hearing his words, Zheng Huilan thought about it and felt that it was inappropriate. Qin Yue had just appeared in front of everyone, and many people downstairs were waiting to greet him and build relationships with him. In addition, Song Shixi was his sister after all. If he left quietly at this critical juncture, who knows what others would think.
She pondered for a moment and said, "Mom, I won't hide it from you. Shixi is a conservative girl. Hasn't she always wanted to find a suitable gay man to marry and settle down? I introduced her to so many men before, but she didn't like any of them."
Zheng Huilan sighed, then continued, "I discussed it with your aunts, and decided to use her birthday as an excuse to gather all the gay men of the right age together today and let her choose."
"I'm going to go find her now, tell her about this, and then ask her if she has any favorites. If she does, it will end sooner and you can go out earlier."
"Didn't you discuss this with her beforehand?" Qin Yue frowned and his expression suddenly changed after hearing some clues.
"There's nothing to discuss. She's definitely willing."
Zheng Huilan felt that Qin Yue was making too much of a fuss. "Besides, if I had told her in advance, she might have caused some trouble. It's better this way. Look how well she behaved today. She's pretty and well-mannered, much better than before."
"Mom, you did the wrong thing." Qin Yue narrowed his sharp eyes, and his cold voice was filled with strong disapproval.
Seeing his tough attitude and standing on Song Shixi's side, Zheng Huilan was stunned, "Why is it wrong?"
"If today is Zhiyi's birthday, and I turn it into a business dinner, will Zhiyi be happy? Will you be happy?" Qin Yue's angular outline was hidden in the dim light, making it difficult to see his expression, but from his cold tone, one could tell that he was in a bad mood.
“…”
Zheng Huilan pursed her lips and said nothing, but sometimes silence is also an answer.
Qin Yue reached out and straightened his messy collar. Ignoring Zheng Huilan's increasingly grim expression, he continued, "Whatever, let's end this as soon as possible. Don't arrange such gatherings in the future. It's not like she can't get married. If things get this bad, who knows what others will say about our family behind our backs. It's bad for everyone's reputation and will just become a joke."
Zheng Huilan's face turned completely dark. She wanted to refute, but when the words came to her lips, she didn't know how to say it, because Qin Yue's words made sense, and she knew this truth too.
But in her heart, as long as she could marry Song Shixi off and get her completely away from the Qin family and Zhi Yi, then everything else could be put aside.
But now after hearing what Qin Yue said, she also felt that she was a little too hasty. Doing so would be tantamount to killing a thousand enemies and injuring eight hundred of her own.
"Okay, Mom knows. I'll go find it now..." Zheng Huilan sighed, thinking of what Qin Yue had just said. She felt a little complicated for a moment and didn't know how to face Song Shixi. So she was silent for a moment, then changed the subject and said, "It's better to end it sooner."
"Okay, I'll go down later." Qin Yue nodded, and then quickly closed the door.
Looking at the closed door, Zheng Huilan opened her lips, thinking about something, but finally closed her mouth, turned around and walked downstairs.
Inside the room, Qin Yue quickly approached the wardrobe, opened the door, and saw Song Shixi sitting with her hands on her knees. Perhaps the sudden light made her a little uncomfortable, and she subconsciously closed her eyes. When she opened them again, her starry eyes were a little wet, and a thin red streak climbed up the corners of her eyes, which looked particularly imaginative against her glowing white skin.
The lipstick around the lips is smudged and messy, adding a bit of ambiguity and charm.
The white dress spread out in the closet, forming a sharp contrast with the dark clothes, just like her colorful touch suddenly broke into his dull world, bringing him joy and happiness that he had never thought of before.
Qin Yue's throat rolled slightly, and he leaned over and stretched out his hand towards her: "She's gone."
Song Shixi curled her fingers and did not reach out to him immediately. A hint of hesitation flashed across her face. She knew that Zheng Huilan did not like her, but it was not until now, as a bystander, that she realized that she hated her even more than she had imagined.
Now that the passion and impulse of hormones have mostly faded, can she really accept this relationship calmly?
In her eyes, the process of falling in love must be comfortable for both parties. She does not want to be disturbed by other factors, does not want to face the so-called "battle between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law", and does not want Qin Yue to be caught in the middle, wasting their love for each other and ending up in a mess.
If Qin Yue had given in a little and not sided with her, she would have decisively changed her mind and ended their budding relationship in time.
But the reality was just the opposite, so Song Shixi had no way of simply telling him that she regretted it, and her mood was very complicated.
In fact, it all comes down to the fact that they have been together for too short a time, she feels insecure, and doesn't trust him enough.
During the few seconds she was struggling, Qin Yue immediately noticed her emotional change. His eyes darkened and he wanted to give her time to think it through, but seeing her expression change several times, he didn't dare to take the risk anymore. He suddenly bent down, grabbed her arm, and easily held her in his arms.
"Why, do you really want to go down with my mom to select people?"
Qin Yue's mouth corners were stretched into a straight line, but he still wanted to smile, which made his face look even more sinister, making people shudder. Song Shixi turned her head away guiltily, not daring to look him in the eye, afraid that he would see through her thoughts at a glance, although it seemed too late.
"I didn't!"
The tone of his rebuttal was a bit too high, revealing a bit of guilt. Song Shixi quickly tried to make amends and changed the subject, "Put me down first."
Her legs flapped twice in the air, and he actually let go, but she lost her balance and took two steps back before she could barely steady herself. Who knew that the next second someone would grab her waist and push her against the wall.
Her back touched the cold wall and she subconsciously dodged forward, but then a long leg squeezed between her legs, firmly holding her in place. At the same time, a warm hand pressed against her back, separating her from the wall.
Qin Yue clenched his back teeth and was about to ask her if she wanted to just walk away, but then he remembered that she was soft-hearted and did not respond to tough calls, so he suddenly put away his temper and approached her step by step. His nose rubbed against hers, and a trace of hurt and grievance flashed across his handsome face.
"They say men should be more reserved and not be too casual, otherwise if people get it easily, they won't cherish it. There is some truth to this."
Hearing his words that contradicted Tian Gang, Song Shixi's pupils slightly dilated, and he asked in disbelief, "What did you say?"
"You took advantage of me and now you don't want to take responsibility?" Qin Yue didn't answer her, but continued talking to himself. At the same time, he moved closer to her, and his warm breath sprayed directly on her face, burning her and making her feel a little itchy.
Her thoughts were disturbed by his string of words, and she stumbled when she spoke, "When did I..."
Before she could finish her words, her lips were kissed by someone. She couldn't help but grab the front of his shirt, her eyes fixed on his face so close to her. Her long, fine eyelashes were slightly closed, and at this moment, they trembled slightly, bringing a gust of wind that blew straight into her heart. She subconsciously closed her eyes slowly.
The tall and hot body in front of her trapped her in this tiny space, making her unable to move. The fingertips on her back rubbed her skin through the thin cloth from time to time, and the numb feeling made the kiss more ambiguous and deep.
"Please, choose me, please?"
Song Shixi was kissed so hard that her head felt dizzy and her mind was confused. She moved her head subconsciously, not knowing whether it was a nod or a shake. In short, his attack became more and more fierce. He pinched her jaw and forced her to cater to him.
The slightest opening and closing of the teeth would lead to invasion.
Feeling something strange tentatively drilling into her lips, at that moment, Song Shixi's body couldn't stop sliding down. Just as she was about to fall to the ground, a big hand grabbed her waist in time.
Song Shixi climbed onto his shoulders, using the force to support her weak legs. Her pretty face flushed red and she was having trouble breathing. She pushed him hard, and he finally let her go slightly, but his lips still lingered on hers, reluctant to leave.
After recovering, Song Shixi shook his head like a rattle, "Not good."
After receiving this answer, Qin Yue's face turned as black as charcoal, and his breathing stopped for a moment. All his romantic thoughts disappeared immediately, and he felt as if he was in an ice cellar.
But before he could react, she opened her big, wet eyes and began to seriously accuse him: "I wasn't even prepared, who allowed you to stick out your tongue suddenly..."
Song Shixi couldn't bring herself to utter the last word. Her curled eyelashes blinked again and again, delicately and charmingly. After pausing for two seconds, her red lips, slightly swollen from his kiss, continued, "I finally understand. You just like bullying me. You're still like this now. After we're together, you'll definitely..."
Before she could finish her words, she was held tightly in his arms. His strong arms squeezed her arms so hard that they hurt. She immediately pursed her lips and yelled, "Qin Yue, it hurts!"
"It hurts, right? Do you know you almost scared me to death?"
Qin Yue glanced at her sideways, gnashing his teeth in anger. He couldn't bear to think that the two words she had just said were true. What should he do? In short, there was no way he could let go.
But having said that, the strength in his hands became much lighter. He still pressed her into his arms, stroked her arm gently, and asked softly, "Does it still hurt now?"
"It doesn't hurt anymore."
Hearing the concern in his words, Song Shixi curled her lips, raised her eyelids and looked at him, and she was touched by the fear in his eyes, as well as the joy of surviving the disaster. Seeing this, she couldn't help but be stunned. She didn't expect that her just speaking sarcastically and making a little joke would have such a big impact on him.
She realized later that she had gone too far in joking at that time, and she also vaguely understood that she might be more important to him than she imagined.
Thinking of this, she suddenly became curious about how much he liked her.
But only she can slowly experience and find the answer to this question in the future.
Song Shixi took the initiative to bury her face in his arms, stretched out her arms to wrap around his slender waist, moved her red lips, and said in a delicate voice: "Okay, as long as you promise not to bully me in the future, I will choose you, okay?"
Qin Yue narrowed his eyes, raised his eyebrows, reached out and rubbed the back of her neck, ruffling the black hair there. He felt better and then hummed softly.
Song Shixi curled her eyes in triumph. Seeing that he was so obedient, she couldn't help but rub against him. "I didn't hear it. If you say that Qin Yue will never bully Song Shixi again."
Qin Yue almost laughed out loud when he heard her being so coquettish. However, feeling her swaying around him like a spoiled kitten, he finally compromised. "Qin Yue will never bully Song Shixi again."
As soon as he finished speaking, Song Shixi noticed that the tip of his ear quickly turned red as if by magic. Curiously, she wanted to reach out and rub it, but as soon as she reached out, she was caught red-handed.
She chuckled and looked towards him, only to be met with a pair of dark, deep eyes.
"Stick out your tongue, don't you like it?"
He changed the subject so quickly that Song Shixi couldn't quite follow his train of thought. But seeing his increasingly fiery gaze, she vaguely guessed his intention. Staring at his chiseled profile, Song Shixi swallowed and said vaguely, "Not really..."
After a while, she gasped for breath and began to complain coquettishly: "You are wearing too many clothes, I am so hot."
"That's just to cover up..." Qin Yue swallowed his words halfway through, but both of them knew what he meant.
The scene suddenly appeared in Song Shixi's mind. He couldn't help but cough lightly. His ears felt hot and he dared not say anything more.
Qin Yue's embrace was warm and firm, and his scent was pleasant. Whether he was hugging her or kissing her, her heartbeat accelerated uncontrollably, like a pool of spring water that made people willingly drown in it.
*
Song Shixi patted her flushed cheeks, took a deep breath, and subconsciously looked back at Qin Yue who was leaning on the stair railing. He was tall and handsome.
She swallowed, turned around quickly, and walked down the stairs step by step, holding up her skirt.
Not long after she appeared, Zeng Jingxu came over. His eyes were too sharp. Song Shixi was afraid that he would see something, so she quickly found a drink and took a sip.
"Shixi, are you okay?"
"What can happen to me?" Song Shixi was stunned, then smiled at Zeng Jingxu.
Zeng Jingxu was stunned for a moment when he heard her question, then he smiled and said, "Yes, this is the Qin family, what can you do?"
Having said that, his eyes moved around her inconspicuously, but he couldn't make out anything. Her makeup was intact and her expression was normal. Apart from her face being a little red, there was nothing wrong.
But he always felt a little uneasy.
Thinking of this, Zeng Jingxu couldn't help but ask, "Why did it take you so long to come down?"
What kind of gift could take so long to look at?
Hearing this, Song Shixi subconsciously recalled the ridiculous scenes in Qin Yue's room. She felt her cheeks getting even hotter. She took a sip of her drink to cover it up before replying, "I went to the bathroom."
After she said that, Zeng Jingxu didn't feel comfortable asking any more questions. Thinking of something, he slowly clenched his hand hanging by his leg into a fist. He stared at her pretty and beautiful profile, and finally mustered up the courage to speak: "Shixi, I have something to tell you."
"What's the matter?" Song Shixi blinked in confusion, holding the cup in his hand.
"I came here today..." Zeng Jingxu hadn't finished speaking when a voice interrupted him, "Shixi."
The two of them looked towards the source of the sound and saw Qin Yue striding down the stairs.
Song Shixi almost choked on the drink she had just drunk. She couldn't help but glare at him and asked him with her eyes: "Didn't you agree to come down later?"
Qin Yue stared at the distance between her and Zeng Jingxu, which was only two steps away. His jawline was tightened, and cold emotions surged in his deep, ink-black eyes. He answered her question silently.
Song Shixi pursed her lips and almost rolled her eyes at him in front of Zeng Jingxu. Why did this man like to go against Zeng Jingxu so much? Weren't they good friends? And she had already agreed to be with him, so how could she still be entangled with Zeng Jingxu?
She was absolutely furious.
But she forgot that it was precisely because they were good friends that they understood each other better than anyone else.
Qin Yue looked at Zeng Jingxu, who was a little uncomfortable because his words were suddenly interrupted, and he managed to curl up the corners of his lips.
"It's time to cut the cake. Let's finish it quickly. We still have things to do tonight." Qin Yue retracted his gaze and turned to look at Song Shixi beside him. His tone was more gentle than ever, with a hint of assertion of sovereignty.
Zeng Jingxu watched and listened, frowning, his eyes darting between the two of them, but soon the thought was suppressed.
These two are brother and sister, and he just heard about what happened between Shi Xi and Zhi Yi some time ago.
He is away from home all year round and can only come back a few times a year. He was transferred back some time ago. It is normal that he doesn't know about the Qin family's affairs. But Qin Yue is different. He is Zhiyi's brother and half-head of the Qin family. It is impossible for him not to know about this. With his understanding of Qin Yue, just based on this point, he would not have any thoughts about Shi Xi.
Thinking of this, the breath that was stuck in my chest slowly let out.
Followed the two people and walked towards the restaurant.
Song Shixi glanced at Qin Yue with a puzzled look on his face. He really wanted to ask what he was busy with in the evening, but considering that Zeng Jingxu was beside him, and fearing that this was just an excuse Qin Yue made up, he temporarily suppressed his curiosity.
As soon as they walked into the restaurant, they saw Zheng Huilan looking for someone around.
"Aunt." Song Shixi quickly quickened his pace to greet her.
After seeing her, Zheng Huilan breathed a sigh of relief, and then couldn't help asking, "Where have you been?"
After she came down from the third floor, she searched almost the entire first floor, but she didn't see Song Shixi, so she couldn't help but feel panicked.
There are many people here today, and Song Shixi is so outstanding. If someone is so bold as to have some bad intentions, it will be all over.
Fortunately, now that she saw Song Shixi was safe and sound, the heavy stone in her heart finally fell back to its original place.
"I'm going to the bathroom." Song Shixi tucked the hair around her ears with a guilty conscience. Fortunately, Zheng Huilan didn't delve into it. When she heard that they were here to cut the cake, she started calling for people to find Qin Boyuan and Qin Zhiyi.
Qin Boyuan was talking to some juniors from the same factory in the study and came down shortly afterwards. Qin Zhiyi was even easier to find because she hadn't come downstairs all day and had been staying in her room on the second floor.
After everyone gathered, Zheng Huilan asked someone to bring out the cake and started blowing out the candles and making wishes.
Cakes these days are very plain and simple, without any overly gorgeous designs. A few layers of cake with simple decorations is already very impressive.
Song Shixi didn't care about these things. He clasped his hands together, and before closing his eyes, he subconsciously glanced at Qin Yue beside him.
Who would have thought that he was also looking at her. Their eyes met in the noisy crowd, burning her hands so much that she trembled and quickly closed her eyes and made a wish.
I hope she and the one she loves are in good health and everything goes well.
If I were a little more greedy, I would hope that he would still be by my side on my next birthday.
