The last time
Zhou Min lowered his eyes and stared at a spot on the light-colored carpet below his knees, silent.
After the crystal glass that called him back from greed fell last night, the carpet should have been stained with some wine, but now it is as clean as new.
All evidence of inner desire and struggle was completely eliminated.
Apart from……
"You last night..." The person sitting on the sofa spoke softly, and it was hard to tell whether he was accusing her or reminiscing.
"No!" Zhou Min denied everything categorically without waiting for Zhou Qiting to finish his words.
A faint laugh flowed past Zhou Min's ears. She didn't dare to raise her eyes to look directly at Zhou Qiting. She only felt her cheek being gently held by a slender hand.
"Didn't you sleep well last night?"
Zhou Min could hear the concern in the rare gentle question, but she was on guard and still denied it: "How could it be, I slept soundly."
"Really?" Zhou Qiting's cool fingertips brushed across Zhou Min's pale eyes. "But you look like you stayed up late."
How come even this person's hands smelled so good? Feeling the gentle caress on his face, Zhou Min smelled a hint of fragrance emanating from Zhou Qiting's palm, and his thoughts drifted away for a moment, and he didn't respond in time.
The next moment, the chain tightening around her neck and the still gentle words made her feel like she was facing a formidable enemy.
"Did you do something bad last night?"
"No!" Zhou Min denied again, his mind working quickly, thinking about what bad thing Zhou Yiting might have discovered.
"Then why don't you dare look at me?" Zhou Qiting lowered the hand that was holding Zhou Min's cheek and supported her chin instead, lifting her face up a little so that her lowered gaze could meet his. "Because I was right?"
"No..." Zhou Min, who was forced to look up, avoided looking left and right, but did not dare to look at Zhou Qiting.
On the one hand, it was because she felt guilty, and on the other hand, the young lady was only wearing a bathrobe.
The reason why it was called "draped" was because Zhou Min just saw the undone belt at her waist draped over the sofa beside her.
Wait, where are the laces?
Soon, Zhou Min knew where the missing laces would be used.
"Like I said, I don't like being deceived."
A two-finger-wide tie passed through her forced-open mouth and was tied into a knot at the back of her head that was neither loose nor tight, ensuring that Zhou Min could breathe smoothly while preventing her from uttering a single word.
Actually, it’s not forced.
Zhou Min couldn't take his eyes off Zhou Qiting since she stood up. He didn't resist or avoid her, just let her restrain him.
It is irresistible obedience.
Now, Zhou Min bit the frenulum in his mouth and raised his head to swallow the saliva secreted under his tongue due to thirst to prevent it from overflowing from the corners of his mouth.
The ends of her hair, wet from the shower, draped in front of her. Zhou Qiting raised his hand to brush the faint coolness to the back of her neck, then stroked Zhou Min's face again and said slowly, "Since you've been lying to me, then don't say anything."
In fact, there was no need to block her mouth. Zhou Min was once again shocked by the magnificent scene before him and could not utter a complete word. He just stared at the drop of water rolling down from her hair and dripping down her smooth skin bit by bit.
"Did you kiss me secretly while I was sleeping last night?" Zhou Yiting tapped Zhou Min's trembling lower lip with his index finger and asked a question that had a vague answer.
"Woo..." With the frenulum still stuck between his upper and lower teeth, Zhou Min couldn't speak and could only make unclear sounds from his throat.
Zhou Qiting sat back on the sofa, looked at the pitiful appearance of the puppy, and said with a soft smile: "It can't speak, but it can still nod and shake its head."
At the moment, Zhou Min, whose head was dizzy from the surging blood, was unable to think deeply. He nodded woodenly, completely forgetting the decision he made to "keep talking tough" after the eldest lady tricked him into revealing the truth last time.
The answer in her heart was confirmed. Zhou Qiting looked at the person who was finally honest, pinched her earlobe with satisfaction, and praised her generously: "You are so good."
These two simple words, like a sudden injection of hydrogen, fill the heart and make people feel like they are floating up.
Zhou Min narrowed his eyes happily and rubbed his cheek against the base of Zhou Qiting's palm to show his obedience.
A faint tingling sensation crept up and spread along his palm, until finally, even his voice was tinged with the joy it gave rise to. Zhou Qiting continued to laugh, "You did something else bad before going to bed, didn't you?"
No way, he knew that even when he was that drunk?
The desire to survive instantly made Zhou Min regain her vigilance that had just been thrown out of the window. She raised her eyes to observe Zhou Qiting's expression to determine whether she was deceiving her again, so as to confirm whether the survival rate would be higher if she nodded or shook her head.
Little did he know that the look of him looking up with wet eyes made him look... easy to bully.
Zhou Yiting bit her lower lip lightly, her eyelashes half drooped, and her dark gaze swept down from Zhou Min's eyes, across his slender nose, and fell on his lips that could not close.
The fingertips released the earlobe, traced forward along the slightly red skin behind the ear, brushed across the crimson lips, and finally pressed on the slightly pointed lower canine tooth, gently stroking it, feeling the sharpness.
"Woo, woo..." Zhou Min subconsciously wanted to bite the teasing fingers, but was blocked by the frenulum in his mouth. He could only swallow helplessly to eliminate the slight itch on the tip of his teeth.
Unable to bear it any longer, Zhou Min stepped back slightly, took a deep breath, nodded honestly again, and admitted his "crime" last night.
So cute. Zhou Qiting's smile grew wider, and with his other hand he grabbed the chain, pulling Zhou Min, who was leaning back, back to him.
"But I don't remember. Can you tell me what you did?"
you!
How can I say anything when my mouth is blocked? Zhou Min couldn't help but open his eyes wide, silently accusing the unreasonable young lady with an indignant look.
Sensing the puppy's resentment, Zhou Qiting laughed. His gaze fell on the seemingly sturdy knot around her wrist, revealing her little trick: "Don't you still have your hands? Do what you did before and show me again."
Oh, my self-protection method was discovered after all. Zhou Min was dejected, and with a twist of his wrist, he deftly untied the knot.
"Woo." After his hands were allowed to move, Zhou Min raised his moist eyes and looked at the eldest lady, and asked with a short guttural sound if the laces could be untied as well.
So good.
But unfortunately, the more obedient she was, the more he wanted to bully her. Understanding what Zhou Min wanted to express, Zhou Qiting joked meaningfully: "Why, do you also do other bad things with your mouth?"
In order to prove his not-so-innocent innocence, Zhou Min quickly shook his head, thought for a moment, and then quickly nodded.
The main reason is that it's really uncomfortable to keep my mouth open. I don't want to make up some bad things that I haven't done.
It's just a piece of innocence, so I don't care about it.
Zhou Qiting saw through Zhou Min's thoughts at a glance, lifted her chin with her index finger, looked directly into the undisguised heat in her eyes, and said softly: "No."
Worried that he would be held accountable for both old and new grievances, Zhou Min did not dare to disobey the eldest lady and did not free himself from the restraints in his mouth.
She first looked into Zhou Qiting's eyes, without looking away, and carefully picked up the two lapels of her bathrobe and gathered them together.
Don't catch a cold.
After doing all this, Zhou Min raised his hand and gently pinched Zhou Yiting's face with much less force than last night, then rubbed it with his palm.
That's all. Zhou Min nodded heavily to Zhou Qiting to show the sincerity of his actions.
Be honest, but not too honest. Zhou Min always felt that if he treated the young lady like he did last night, his future would not be easy.
Fortunately, Zhou Qiting didn't seem to notice Zhou Min's reservation in strength this time. After recalling it for a moment, he temporarily let it go.
Her gaze fell on the chain around Zhou Min's neck. Zhou Qiting sighed imperceptibly and asked the question that had been on her mind: "Have you finished your work?"
If that's done, then I can safely tighten my restraints on you.
Zhou Min didn't expect Zhou Qiting to care about his "work". He was stunned for a moment, then shook his head gently and slowly.
If it is completed, our life will be at its final moment.
Thinking of this, it seemed as if his strength was being drained away bit by bit, and his straight back gradually bent. Without Zhou Qiting's permission, Zhou Min took off the laces in his mouth, buried his face in her knees through the bathrobe, and his hands hung limply at his sides.
Seeing the tired look of the puppy, Zhou Qiting touched her head distressedly, but her tone was restrained and calm: "Did you encounter any difficulties?"
Zhou Min shook his head slightly, and with this action, he buried his face a little deeper into his legs.
Zhou Qiting didn't say anything. She leaned forward, put her arms around Zhou Min's shoulders, and gently patted her back, just like when she was coaxed to sleep last night.
The gentle movement made Zhou Min tremble uncontrollably. Zhou Qiting felt that the bathrobe at the knees was gradually becoming warm and wet.
There was no sobbing, just silent and suppressed tears.
Zhou Qiting's heart softened, and her reluctance to do so ultimately overwhelmed her dark thoughts. She thought, forget it.
"Let's end the deal here. You've paid enough."
I wonder if you would be willing to have a formal relationship with me? Zhou Yiting asked herself.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Min shook his head heavily.
How can it be enough? As long as there is even a little bit of guilt in my heart, I can't die with you with peace of mind.
Zhou Min raised his head, wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes with the back of his hand, looked at Zhou Qiting with red eyes, and asked a question in a low voice that he already had the answer to in his heart.
"Zhou Qiting, have you fulfilled all the promises you made?"
Even if you can show a little bit of guilt for breaking your promise, it will make me feel that I owe you a lot for a long time.
Zhou Qiting had made few promises in his life, but he had fulfilled them all. Now the only unfulfilled promise left was with Zhou Min.
"I mean what I say." Everything that has been done has been done, and everything that will be done in the future will be done.
Zhou Qiting's clear conscience made Zhou Min breathe a sigh of relief.
Not bad, not bad.
Thank you for your honesty, which has allowed me to remain firm in my goals.
Zhou Min's tear-stained face revealed a faint smile, and he said sincerely, "Zhou Qiting, let me please you."
The last time.
