Chapter 56 The button popped
Chapter Fifty-Six: The Button Popped
As the last rays of the setting sun were swallowed by the horizon, Lin Su buried her face in Zhou Yunqi's arms, her tears instantly soaking his shirt.
But as I cried, my mind calmed down.
She already had the answer regarding life and death.
We shouldn't be led astray by Guan Chenxi's extreme thinking; she should have responded promptly.
What a missed opportunity... I'm so angry!
Passersby looked at them, but Zhou Yunqi ignored their stares, patted her head, and asked, "Did someone bully you?"
He returned home half an hour earlier and found her not there. He couldn't sit still, so he went to the door and asked the security guard. He walked around the neighborhood and happened to see her.
Lin Su left his embrace, tears still on her face. She raised her hand to wipe them away, and without bothering to explain, said, "Wait for me."
Guan Chenxi shouldn't have gone far. Lin Su wanted to go back and find her to have a face-to-face talk. Having been outmaneuvered by Guan Chenxi several times, if she didn't fight back, she'd never be able to hold her head high again.
After saying that, Lin Su walked straight back, with Zhou Yunqi following closely behind: "Tell me, what happened?"
"Can I tell you later?"
Zhou Yunqi grabbed her arm and said with utmost seriousness, "How can I feel at ease with you like this?"
Lin Su was a little anxious, and without turning her head, she said, "I'll be fine."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Guan Chenxi walking over.
She was clearly taken aback, seemingly not expecting to return, especially with Zhou Yunqi by her side.
But it was too late to turn back, so she had no choice but to stand there and watch them.
Lin Su looked at Guan Chenxi, then at Zhou Yunqi, whose face already showed understanding, and reached out to tug at his finger: "Could you give me a little time? I just want to say a few words to her."
Zhou Yunqi raised his hand to wipe the corner of her eye and sighed deeply: "Okay, but it has to be within my sight."
Lin Su nodded.
Zhou Yunqi took a few steps back and stood under a tree. From this distance, he could see them, but he couldn't hear what they were saying.
Lin Su turned to look at Guan Chenxi and said without hesitation, very bluntly, "You've contacted me three times, but I'm only contacting you this once, just to say a few words."
Guan Chenxi gritted her teeth, remaining proud.
Lin Su stared straight at her and said:
"First of all, of course I like him, and I'm pretty sure I'll only ever like him in my life."
"Secondly, I can die for him without hesitation, or I can choose to live without wavering."
"Third, I don't care who you're willing to die for, and he cares even less. Don't impose your extreme theories on others. I don't buy into that, and neither does he."
Guan Chenxi hadn't expected her to come back, nor had she expected her will to be so strong and her expression so clear.
She stood there stunned for a moment, unsure how to react.
Lin Su: "I'm done talking. Goodbye."
She turned and left decisively.
Under the ginkgo tree, the handsome man watched her walk to his side, his deep eyes holding a thousand unspoken words.
But in the end, he said nothing. He simply tightened his jaw, took her hand, held it tightly, and walked forward silently until their figures disappeared at the end of the road.
The two of them didn't speak a word the whole way, silently entered the residential area, went upstairs, and closed the door.
The man leaned against the door, his chest heaving, his gaze fixed on the person in front of him.
Seeing that he didn't move, Lin Su stood still and looked at him.
It was already quite dark, and Lin Su's face was glowing white, but his eyes suddenly darkened.
The next instant, Zhou Yunqi wrapped his arms around her waist, pulled her close, turned her around, and pinned her against the door. His fingers pressed against her chin, and he began to kiss her without restraint.
They were intimately familiar with each other's scent, but the man was holding back some anger. He kissed her fiercely and deeply, as if he wanted to devour her.
Lin Su clung tightly to his neck, letting him invade her body. Her legs unknowingly climbed up his waist and clung to him. She continued to be held by the man and pressed against the door, kissing him wantonly. The two of them stole the air from each other's mouths, as if neither of them wanted to let the other go.
Their lips and tongues intertwined, Lin Su bit his lip with her teeth, and teased him with her tender red tongue.
The man, his breathing growing heavier, suddenly took her tongue into his mouth, sucking until her tongue felt numb. Then, as if dissatisfied with this place, he carried her to the dining table, placed her on it, and began to caress her repeatedly, but still not satisfied. Finally, he ripped off all the buttons from her shirt.
A few buttons bounced onto the table and rolled onto the floor with a soft thud.
The man's thin lips moved from her rosy lips to the side of her neck, and Lin Su immediately felt a wet, ticklish sensation on her neck. But she didn't stop there; she kissed his Adam's apple.
When she came to her senses, several kisses had already landed on her collarbone. The kisses gradually moved downwards... As their tongues teased each other, Lin Su couldn't hold back any longer, hooking one arm around his neck and grabbing his hair with the other.
Susu tilted her long, slender neck back, and a soft voice couldn't help but escape from her throat.
The man knew she couldn't take it. Before this, he had rarely kissed her like this, let alone in the living room. They had kissed twice by chance while sleeping, and she would twist her waist and whisper his name.
Sure enough, after a jolt of electricity, Susu couldn't help but murmur, "Zhou Yunqi—"
The man didn't stop; he continued to hold it in his mouth, even licking it with the tip of his tongue.
Even though he couldn't see clearly in the darkness, he knew that it was a beautiful rosy red, just like her lips.
Susu hadn't trimmed her nails, and when she tightened her grip on his neck, her nails stung slightly, but he ignored it and continued sucking. She then used her other hand to gently stroke the other side of his lips, which he hadn't paid attention to.
Outside the window, the night was pitch black, and inside the room, the light was dim. It was extremely uncomfortable, so I muttered to myself and twisted my waist restlessly.
He knew this was a big deal, bigger than anything before.
He could ask directly what it was about, but men also have intuition that now is not the best time. Apart from caressing, they could talk about anything and everything, and if they make a slight mistake, words like "break up" might be said in the heat of the moment.
Finally, as if he had sucked enough, Zhou Yunqi stood up straight, panting, his face grim, and helped her adjust the sides of her shirt.
The deep voice said, "I'll cook first, you go take a shower."
Lin Su refused and angrily punched him.
He stood in front of her and let her hit him.
Lin Su punched him a few times, her nose stinging with tears that welled up again.
She buried her face in his shoulder and cried. This time, unlike last time when she only cried for a short while, she cried for a long time.
Zhou Yunqi stood there motionless, holding her tightly and letting her cry.
He waited until she cried herself out and her sobs gradually subsided before pulling out a tissue and wiping away her tears.
"Go take a shower first, I'll cook."
...
The lights came on, and Lin Su squatted down, gathering her clothes and picking out buttons.
He poured her some hot water and then went into the kitchen to get busy.
In the bathroom, Lin Su took off her clothes and, with the warm water, bent down to lather herself with soap. As she rubbed, she could almost feel the sensation of him holding her in his mouth.
Lin Su sighed softly.
You could pretend nothing happened and not mention it, but can you really pretend you don't know anything and pretend it never happened?
She barely survived, and all she wanted was to live a good life. Even if he really did have those kinds of thoughts, as Guan said, she wouldn't choose that path.
This has nothing to do with whether you like him or love him.
During the meal, the two remained quiet. Lin Su looked up at him several times before finally asking, "Don't you want to ask me anything?"
Zhou Yunqi put some food in her bowl: "Eat your meal properly. No one and nothing should disturb us while we eat."
Lin Su remained silent for a few seconds, but still couldn't help looking at his calm face.
He called out to him, "Zhou Yunqi."
Zhou Yunqi stopped picking up food with his chopsticks and looked back at her.
Perhaps this kind of topic shouldn't be discussed during a meal.
However, it is never appropriate to discuss this topic.
Lin Su swallowed her food and finally said, "I still haven't found one button."
He smiled and said, "I'll help you find it later. Let's eat first; it's almost nine o'clock."
"All right."
While washing the dishes, Lin Su used a flashlight to carefully search the floor, finally finding the button under the window. He stood up and glanced at the lights in the houses outside.
Although it seems like more than half a year has passed since they returned to the city, in reality, they haven't had many days of truly peaceful time living together.
They were either separated for long periods or short periods, plus her occasional menstrual cramps, and the petty, malicious harassment from outsiders... they never had a few peaceful days.
He put that button together with the others and then went to wash up.
Around 10 o'clock, Lin Su lay in bed.
It's already autumn, and the electric fan is on, but it's no longer blowing directly at the head of the bed; it's just to increase air circulation in the room.
Amidst the creaking of the electric fan, Zhou Yunqi lay beside her, turned off the light, then wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her close, his chin rubbing against her shoulder and neck.
In the darkness, Lin Su called his name.
"Zhou Yunqi, I want to live a good life with you."
The man holding him hummed softly, "Of course, we'll both live well. Didn't the fortune teller say that you'll have great fortune in the future, and I'll also achieve something great?"
Lin Su smiled softly, then continued calmly, facing the ceiling in the darkness, "If one day you are no longer in this world, I will not go with you; I will still choose to stay."
The man's voice was low and husky: "Ah, isn't this exactly what I wanted?"
“If you come along, I’ll definitely get angry.”
Hearing this expected answer, Lin Su's eyes welled up with tears. She turned around and snuggled into his arms.
He held her in the dim light, comforting her: "You've never seen me angry." As he spoke, he pinched her cheek with his fingers, "Even the King of Hell would be afraid of me."
Lin Su chuckled softly.
As she laughed, the tears she had been holding back finally came out.
"But Zhou Yunqi, you should try to outlive me."
"Why?"
That way I won't have to make a choice.
Lin Su wiped her tears on his chest and said softly, "I'm rather lazy and don't know how to handle these things."
"Okay." His voice was low and hoarse, as if it came from underground.
The waning moon hung in the sky outside the window, while the person sleeping inside remained silent.
After a long while, he asked, "Asleep?"
Lin Su, securely held against a warm chest, said in a muffled voice:
"Zhou Yunqi—"
"I am here."
"I want you."
"Now?"
"Um."
"OK."
"But I'm so sleepy, I'm almost out of energy."
"Tsk. Aren't you just teasing me? Are you deliberately keeping me awake at night?"
Lin Su chuckled.
"Go to sleep!"
She seemed to have exhausted herself, and she fell asleep easily after being coaxed.
However, she didn't know how long she had slept. In her hazy state, Lin Su felt her lips being gently kissed by burning hot lips. The ardent kiss traveled downwards, accompanied by the sensation of caresses, making her feel as if she were neither dreaming nor awake...
