Chapter 88 Why is the fire so soft?
Hearing his words, Xin Mian nodded somewhat shyly.
"I just feel it's a bit of a pity for them..."
It's clear that Min Shuyun still has feelings for Lin Jiachi, but she no longer has the courage to continue the relationship with him.
Chi Yu patted Xin Mian's head. "They will handle their own affairs. No matter what happens in the future, it's their own decision."
Even their current situation is actually a result of past decisions.
"Adults must take responsibility for every decision they make."
He spoke very seriously, but for some reason, Xinmian suddenly remembered what Min Shuyun had described about her past with Lin Jiachi in the pavilion that afternoon.
Her eyes were slightly red, her gaze trembled slightly, and she was lost in memories, as if she were reliving them all over again.
But when the memory ended, she felt as if she had been doused with cold water, and instantly regained her composure.
Then, forcing himself to remain calm, he reminded himself not to step into the same river again.
They had spent several years together, but in the end, it all turned into just a few minutes of conversation.
Xinmian's nose tingled, and tears welled up in her eyes.
Chi Yu coaxed softly, "The best outcome for them is to let things take their natural course."
"Don't cry, okay?" He took out a tissue and wiped her tears.
Xin Mian nodded and reached out to hug him again.
This time, I hugged her even harder than before.
Chi Yu paused slightly in the hand holding the tissue, a smile playing on her lips. "Baby, although I'm glad you took the initiative to hug me."
"But I'd be even happier if you hugged me without someone else crying."
"Can you help me fulfill this wish?"
Xin Mian was amused by him, and two small dimples appeared on her cheeks. Her mood finally calmed down.
While still embracing her, Chi Yu helped her fasten her seatbelt.
A clear "click" sounded.
He kissed her eyelids. "I'll take you somewhere."
Xinmian sat up obediently and asked, "Where?"
She had just been crying; there were still tear tracks on her cheeks, her eyelashes were wet, and the tip of her nose was a little red.
He looks so adorable.
Chi Yu was itching to do something, but since they were outside, he couldn't actually do it.
He turned the steering wheel, drove the car out of the parking space, and muttered a reply, "You'll see when we get there."
In winter, it gets dark early. Around four o'clock in the afternoon, the clouds cover the setting sun, and the sky is gray.
The black SUV followed the traffic on the main road toward the center of Ancheng. A dozen minutes later, it turned into an underground parking lot of a residential area.
Xinmian looked around curiously and saw the name of the residential area—Qinghaiyuan.
This should be a high-end residential area, with beautiful landscaping, complete facilities, and strict security.
She asked, "Are we here to visit your friend?"
But it seems there aren't any New Year's gifts left in the trunk...
"no."
The car finally stopped in a corner of the parking lot. Chi Yu turned off the engine, turned to look at her, and said, "Let's go upstairs and take a look."
Xin Mian was even more confused. She followed him out of the car empty-handed and then entered the elevator.
Until the elevator stopped at the top floor and the car door opened, the apartment layout with one unit per floor appeared before her eyes.
Xin Mian had a vague guess in her mind, but because she was unfamiliar with the environment, she could only let him lead her inside.
Fingerprint unlock, open the door, change shoes.
Chi Yu acted as if he were at home.
But in reality, the house is no longer registered in his name.
As expected, the entrance door of the apartment, with one unit per floor, leads to a super spacious single-level apartment with a stunning river view.
Upon entering, you can directly see the river view through the floor-to-ceiling windows, offering a wide and unobstructed view.
The overall decoration style of the house is consistent with that of Chi Yu's room on the second floor of the courtyard in Dongpu Lane, which is gray, black and white, and is crisp, neat and understated.
The Harley model on the shelf and the Swiss Army knife hanging on the wall both emphasize the owner's sharp and ruthless personality.
The house was spotless, but it was clear that it was deserted and lacked human presence.
No one should have lived there.
Xin Mian was unaware that something was wrong at the moment, simply assuming that this was another property he had acquired.
"Is this the house you bought before?"
“Yes,” Chi Yu nodded, then added, “But now, this apartment is yours.”
Xinmian: ? ? ? !!!
"What did you say?"
She was completely stunned, incredulous.
"You must be joking..."
“Xin Xiaomian,” Chi Yu pressed his tongue against his cheek and gently pinched her cheek, “when have I ever lied to you about something like this?”
"Why... ah—"
Before she could finish speaking, he had already put one arm around her waist, picked her up, and carried her towards the master bedroom.
"what you do?"
"Let me show you the property certificate."
He spoke as if it were the most obvious thing in the world, but it stirred up a storm in her heart.
The master bedroom was decorated entirely according to his personality and preferences, with a clean and simple color scheme and a crisp and neat layout.
The property certificate was in a drawer in the master bedroom's walk-in closet. Chi Yu helped her sit on a soft stool, took out the bright red certificate from the drawer, and placed it in her palm.
They even thoughtfully opened it.
The name "Xin Mian" is clearly written in the owner's column.
Xin Mian's eyes widened, still reeling from the shock, "When did you do this...?"
"We'll get it done just in time for the New Year, no matter how fast we rush it."
He knelt down in front of her, saw her stunned expression, and pinched the soft flesh of her cheek with his long fingers, his tone suddenly turning serious.
"No refusing, no saying you don't like it."
Xin Mian's words caught in her throat, but she had to swallow them back before she could say them.
After a few seconds of silence, she whispered, "But this is really a bit sudden..."
"Suddenly?"
He put the property certificate aside, picked her up again, and walked out of the master bedroom to a room on the side.
Pushing open the door, you enter a study, or rather, a workspace.
It was similar to the office in the internet cafe; the room was divided in two, with his desk in one and hers in the other.
The study's decor is noticeably different from the rest of the house, with many warm colors added because of her belongings.
The chair with the backrest, the small blanket to cover her legs, the night light on her desk, and even the green plant next to her computer are all in cute shapes.
Xinmian's nose suddenly stung.
"Chi Yu, what are you doing..."
He's so annoying, doing so much without saying a word.
Tears streamed down Xinmian's face, one by one.
He once said that they were one.
He has always put his words into practice, and he has carefully included her in his entire life plan.
They are one, so they will walk the road together from now on.
Whether it's the small courtyard, the internet cafe, or this house, you can see his original style and trajectory. But now, these trajectories have changed significantly because of her.
Every change proves what he said—
"We are one."
No matter what he does, she is his only unchanging standard and consideration.
From beginning to end, Chi Yu gave her unwavering and unique love.
Chi Yu watched as the little pearls kept falling from her head and pulled her into his arms.
"I started working on it a few months ago, and I only had time to renovate this room."
He only dared to bring her over after confirming that the formaldehyde test results were satisfactory.
"As for the other spaces, you can decide how to redecorate them as you wish."
Chi Yu bought this house a few years ago. At that time, the decoration was done according to his own preferences, and the color scheme was too dark, which was inconsistent with Xin Mian's aesthetic.
But Xin Mian shook her head, "I won't change..."
She actually had her own little schemes in mind.
Add your favorite soft furnishings to his preferred style, so that the two of you complement each other and feel intertwined.
Chi Yu nodded in agreement, "Okay, if you say you won't change it, then you won't change it."
“From now on,” he suddenly drawled, looking at her with a smile, “I’ll trouble you to remember to give me half of the bed, baby.”
Xinmian was amused by him, and dimples appeared on her cheeks, with faint tear stains visible above them.
Chi Yu's eyes darkened suddenly. He grabbed her chin and lowered his head to kiss her.
Both of them were breathing heavily. After being soaked with tears, her skin became even hotter. Chi Yu's large hand reached out and caressed her, his palm pressed tightly against hers, feeling the soft fragrance in his hand.
Gradually, his breathing became more and more unrestrained, and his kisses became more and more forceful and wild, just like before.
His lips and tongue plunged deep inside, his heavy breath assaulting her, wreaking havoc within her mouth, hooking her tongue, sucking, licking, and teasing.
It's like tasting, like teasing, and even more like seduction.
He knew her too well; he knew how to make her fall for him.
In the narrow gap between them, he looked at her with his eyes half-closed. The tears on her eyelashes, not yet dry, were soaked again and trembled gently like butterflies.
The redness at the corners of her eyes is proof that she has fallen in love.
"Baby..."
A deep, husky voice escaped from their lips, and Chi Yu chuckled softly, "So sweet."
She whimpered softly, her breathing becoming increasingly rapid, barely able to withstand the intense and lingering kiss.
As the sunlight gradually dimmed, only a ring of wall lamps were turned on in the room, casting a warm yellow light.
The light and shadows shone down in circles, enveloping the two people who were tightly embracing on the sofa, as if forming a protective layer.
Xin Mian was pinned to his lap, unable to retreat. Her slender, soft body pressed against his chest, and the obvious difference in their sizes made it easy for him to take her in.
Even though his winter clothes were thick, she could still feel his burning body temperature.
Like gushing lava, it could burn her at any moment.
A passionate kiss traveled down the girl's beautiful neckline, his high nose bridge parting the neckline of her shirt, leaving a wet mark on her skin.
He suddenly stopped, his lips pressed tightly against her neck, feeling her rising and falling breaths from the kiss, and the throbbing of her pulse.
He gently licked and sucked, chuckling softly in a deep voice, "Baby is so soft."
"How can you be so soft?"
Xin Mian's coat had been stripped off without her noticing, and her hoodie, which had a zipper, had also been unzipped. At this moment, she was only wearing a close-fitting undershirt.
The room is kept at a constant temperature; it's not cold at all, but rather feels warm.
The heat felt like it was setting the blood in my body ablaze.
Chi Yu bit her earlobe, "Help me take off my clothes."
She was in a daze, on the verge of falling into depravity, her thinking ability was declining, and she could only do what he said.
Clothes piled up beside the sofa, and as they embraced again, his kiss landed once more.
The large hands that had been holding her waist slowly moved inwards.
He chuckled softly, his raspy voice teasing her, "You can still eat something so soft, baby, you're amazing."
"Waaah..."
Xin Mian's eyes were filled with tears, her waist trembled, and her sobs fell into his ears again and again.
He suddenly picked her up and stood up, his long legs carrying him steadily. He walked to the French windows and gently touched her lips, which were wet from his kisses. "Baby, let's try it here today, okay?"
