5. Cry
◎She always loves to tease him.◎
A gleam of brilliance flashed in Jiang Yan's amber-like dark brown eyes, and he smiled faintly, "Beg me? You should show some sincerity when asking for help, right?"
Cui Huaifeng's handsome face was stained with fear, and he asked nervously: "What do you want..."
"What I want..." Jiang Yan spoke slowly and methodically, deliberately lengthening his words.
She glanced at Cui Huaifeng, who looked as uneasy as a frightened deer, lifted his chin with one hand, and chuckled, "What do you think?"
Cui Huaifeng looked at Jiang Yan. Although she was smiling, she made people inexplicably afraid.
The pair of clear eyes that used to be as bright and warm as peach blossoms in March have now become like a bottomless swamp full of conspiracy and crisis.
"I..." Cui Huaifeng frowned, his pupils trembled with fear, and his face turned pale.
Seeing this, Jiang Yan immediately realized that he had pushed the man too hard, so he said, "Let's go back to the bedroom first."
Upon hearing this, Cui Huaifeng secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
———
It was exceptionally quiet outside the bedroom, perhaps because the servants were tactful and stayed away from the yard.
The bedroom was also hushed, its doors and windows tightly shut. The sunlight filtering in through the carved window lattices softened and blurred the sharp shapes of the overlapping branches and window frames.
Jiang Yan smiled without saying anything, just staring at him.
Cui Huaifeng stood in front of Jiang Yanshen, his eyes lowered, his heart beating wildly.
Jiang Yan had actually planned to let Cui Huaifeng go, but he couldn't help but tease him.
Jiang Yan leaned forward, holding his wrist with one hand and his waist with the other, closing the distance between them.
Compared to Jiang Yan's rough, calloused hands from years of training, Cui Huaifeng's hands were much softer. His fingers were long and white, with distinct joints, like bamboo carved from white jade.
Jiang Yan loosened his wrist, took his tightly clenched hand, gently stretched out his fingers, and then gently pinched his fingers.
After getting along with each other for so long, he still understood what Jiang Yan meant. Cui Huaifeng blushed and whispered, "Don't be like this..."
Jiang Yan said with a half-smile, "If you don't want to do it, then your wife will help you."
"Don't!" Cui Huaifeng already knew Jiang Yan's methods, so he could only say, "I'll do it..."
Cui Huaifeng pursed his thin and moist lips and did not move for a long time.
Jiang Yan was quite patient and did not rush. He just admired the scenery slowly, as if just maintaining this posture was a rare and beautiful sight.
Cui Huaifeng's jet-black hair flowed softly behind his shoulders, a few strands falling in front. Hidden beneath his neckline, his collarbone was sharply defined and delicately defined, his skin like the finest white porcelain, delicate and smooth. Even the slightest pressure would leave marks, like a red plum blossom blooming in the snow.
His lips were red and soft, his nose was high, and his eyelashes were long and thick, casting shadows that just covered the anxiety in his agate-like black eyes.
Cui Huaifeng bit his lip and leaned forward to fulfill his promise, but Jiang Yan immediately stopped him, "Huaifeng, no need, I was just teasing you."
Cui Huaifeng paused, not sure if Jiang Yan would let him go so easily.
Jiang Yan smiled and said, "If you don't believe me, then go ahead."
Cui Huaifeng immediately straightened up.
Jiang Yan laughed and pulled Cui Huaifeng, who had not yet recovered from his shock, and asked him to sit next to him.
Jiang Yan suddenly felt a heaviness on his shoulders.
The mental confrontation with Jiang Yan was quite exhausting. Cui Huaifeng was probably really tired, and subconsciously snuggled in her arms with his head hanging on her shoulder.
Jiang Yan felt extremely satisfied and couldn't suppress the smile on his face.
Jiang Yan kissed Cui Huaifeng on the forehead. He has always been thin-skinned, and it was really difficult for him to do this.
But soon, Jiang Yan's smile faded because she suddenly remembered something.
After Jiang Yan pondered for a moment, he couldn't help but ask Cui Huaifeng, "Have you ever done this for her..."
Although Jiang Yan did not specify this "she", there is no doubt that she refers to Zhao Qiuxin.
Cui Huaifeng suddenly raised his head and stared at Jiang Yan in disbelief.
He and Zhao Qiuxin were not actually husband and wife, but how could she ask herself this at this time? How could she... treat herself like this?
Cui Huaifeng originally felt extremely humiliated, and now Jiang Yan stimulated him, his eyes turned red and he immediately burst into tears.
Jiang Yan was stunned. Since they first met, she had rarely seen Cui Huaifeng cry.
Cui Huaifeng's chest rose and fell slowly, as if he was suppressing his emotions, but crystal tears still fell uncontrollably, sliding down his fair face. His red eyes held no resentment, only endless sadness.
Jiang Yan was extremely flustered, and then heartache took over her entire emotion. She clumsily wiped away his tears, as if wiping away all the tears would stop his sadness.
But the tears were still falling, one drop after another, and the wet tears fell from Cui Huaifeng's red eyes onto her fingers.
Jiang Yan tried in vain to maintain the hugging posture.
Cui Huaifeng pushed her away with tears in his eyes, but Jiang Yan didn't dare to let go and hugged him tightly again.
"Don't touch me!"
Cui Huaifeng was disheartened and used all his strength to push Jiang Yan away before he could break free from her arms.
Due to the force exerted after struggling to stand up, Cui Huaifeng lost his balance and staggered backward a few steps, accidentally hitting his back against the wooden frame.
"careful!"
The items placed on the wooden shelf were about to fall down. Jiang Yan rushed over quickly and held Cui Huaifeng tightly in her arms. The items falling from the high shelf hit her back and shoulders, causing pain. She gritted her teeth and endured it without making a sound.
When the wooden frame stabilized, Jiang Yan endured the pain and quickly let go of Cui Huaifeng. He held his arms and carefully checked his condition. Seeing that he had no injuries, he felt relieved. Jiang Yan thought about the emergency situation just now and wondered if he had failed to protect him. So he asked, "Huaifeng, you are not hurt, are you?"
Cui Huaifeng hadn't recovered from his shock yet. He saw that Jiang Yan, who had just protected him, had turned pale and sweat was pouring down her forehead. He subconsciously worried about her injuries. He was about to ask about her, but in the end he couldn't and could only reply, "I'm fine..."
"I'm glad you're okay." Jiang Yan forced a smile. She stroked Cui Huaifeng's cheek and wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes. This time he finally stopped crying.
Jiang Yan let go of his hand and turned to look at the items scattered on the ground. Some were broken, and some were scattered all over the ground. In the mess, a few things caught the attention of both of them.
