Chapter 65
Shi Ye was wearing loose beige home clothes, and his whole temperament became gentle and homely. He threw the towel in his hand on the shelf beside him and bent down to pick up Jiang Zhinian.
When she leaned over, the collar was loose, revealing a collarbone that was slightly red from the hot water.
As if possessed by some mysterious force, Jiang Zhinian put her arms around his neck and gently sucked on his collarbone.
Shi Ye snorted softly and glanced down at Jiang Zhinian.
Inexplicably feeling a sense of danger, Jiang Zhinian quickly opened his mouth, but it was too late.
After Shi Ye carefully placed the person on the sofa, he did not let go. Instead, he covered her with his own hands and gently pinched Jiang Zhinian's chin with his hand.
This was a slightly controlled posture, and Jiang Zhinian was forced to slightly tilt her head back, revealing her fragile neck and fair collarbone.
"Shi Ye..."
For small animals, the neck is the part most vulnerable to attack by wild beasts, but in human society, the neck becomes a switch for some kind of ambiguous desire.
At this moment, Jiang Zhinian, sensing danger, endured the hot and wet touch on his neck, his whole body trembling.
"Are you scared?" The culprit didn't realize how bad he was and just kept irritating the sensitive skin.
Until this moment, Jiang Zhinian finally realized the horror of doctors. They may know more about your body than you do yourself.
"Shi Ye, I was wrong, please..."
"What do you want from me?"
"Don't do this... No..."
She originally thought that her plea for mercy would be useless like in the past, but unexpectedly, Shi Ye just paused for a moment and then straightened up, and really mercifully let her go.
Jiang Zhinian opened her misty eyes and felt the force of Shi Ye's fingers rubbing repeatedly on her collarbone.
"How about leaving a mark here?"
"What?"
"Do you know what a hickey is?"
The essence of this mark is not so romantic, but rather the trace left by the rupture of subcutaneous capillaries when encountering strong suction.
It is physical harm inflicted by one person on another in the name of love.
He raised his hand and touched the place where Jiang Zhinian had just sucked hard: "Is it red?"
Jiang Zhinian glanced at it and said honestly, "It's not popular anymore."
"It means you're not sucking hard enough."
Jiang Zhinian thought of the marks he had seen on TV and felt a little moved: "Then, how much force should be used..."
Shi Ye raised his hand and pinched her cheek: "This is a dangerous behavior. If you use too much force, it may cause blood circulation problems. If you accidentally choose the location on the aorta, it may even cause rupture and internal bleeding."
Jiang Zhinian quickly raised his hand and touched the place on Shi Ye's body where he had just sucked: "What about here, is there anything wrong..."
Shi Ye held her hand: "Silly, it's okay, don't be so nervous."
Jiang Zhinian breathed a sigh of relief, hooked her arm around Shi Ye's neck and tried to sit up, but Shi Ye pressed her down on the sofa with one hand.
"Shi Ye?"
Shi Ye came up to her, gently kissed her collarbone, and raised his head and said, "So, from now on, such dangerous behavior must be carried out under the professional guidance of a doctor."
Jiang Zhinian was puzzled and blinked.
"To put it simply..." Shi Ye's lips slowly moved up along the side of his neck, stopping beside his earlobe, and whispered, "From now on, only I can leave marks on you, in a place I think is safe."
…
It was half an hour later that Shi Ye finally picked up the guitar. He was able to time it so accurately thanks to his strong self-control.
Jiang Zhinian curled up on the sofa, touched the newly planted strawberries on his collarbone, and watched Shi Ye check the guitar.
“Why did you learn guitar in high school?”
Jiang Zhinian found it hard to imagine why Shi Ye would want to learn it.
"Wang Bo wanted to confess his love after graduating from high school. He used coercion, bribery, and pleading to form us into a four-member band."
Jiang Zhinian thought of Yuan Miaomiao and suddenly felt a little upset.
This was Shi Ye's first time playing guitar, so he wasn't playing it for her, was he?
No, Jiang Zhinian, you can't have such petty thoughts. Even if it was played, so what? It's just to help a friend.
It's not like I'm playing it specifically for her.
Shi Ye tuned the strings of his guitar and added slowly, "But apart from me, the other three people haven't learned it yet, so the band plan has fallen through."
The big stone in Jiang Zhinian's heart was instantly removed, the sky cleared, the air became smoother, and everything became beautiful.
"So...is this your first time playing for a girl?"
Shi Ye looked up at her. The girl's eyes were bright and full of expectation, and she looked very beautiful.
His fingers casually plucked the strings, he tilted his head and looked into her eyes: "Yes, for the first time...will you be responsible for me?"
Jiang Zhinian blinked. She suspected that this person was teasing her, but she had no evidence.
Shi Ye chuckled, found a piano sheet on his phone, tried a few notes, and quickly regained the feel he had forgotten.
He played an old song with a low melody and slow rhythm, as if telling a story from long ago.
A pair of lovers were separated on both ends of the earth. Longing for each other was always with them, and suspicion grew slowly.
With more and more misunderstandings, quarrels, and the inability to accompany each other due to time difference, both of them fell into a deep sense of powerlessness.
The time we spent loving each other in our youth has been covered in dust and faded. I still love you, but no longer as passionately as when we first met.
Disappointment, regret, and eventually separation.
When we meet again many years later, we are no longer the same as we were then.
Jiang Zhinian held his chin with his hand, and as he listened, his eyes gradually turned red.
Shi Ye stopped plucking the strings and held the tear that was about to fall between his fingers, like a crystal dewdrop.
After looking at it for a while, as if out of curiosity, or perhaps cherishment, he gently held it in his mouth.
Bitterness spread.
Jiang Zhinian raised her hands embarrassedly, wanting to wipe away her tears, but Shi Ye held her hands down.
"Shi Ye..."
Shi Ye slowly moved closer, lowered his head and kissed the corner of her eye that was still stained with tears.
“Same taste.”
Tears do not become bitter just because they leave the eyes.
Jiang Zhinian hugged Shi Ye's arm with tears in her eyes: "Why are you playing this song?"
She didn't like stories like this.
Shi Ye put the guitar aside, hugged the person in his arms, and explained: "Because I only learned this one song."
In high school, Shi Ye was... a bit stubborn and unsympathetic.
He insisted that this song was particularly suitable for Wang Bo to express his love, as it represented his firm belief that even if they were in a long-distance relationship, he would never change his heart like the man in the song.
After hearing his reasons, Wang Bo angrily decided that the success rate of his confession would be higher if he placed 99 candles.
When Shi Ye found out that his suggestion was not adopted, he immediately decided to withdraw from the confession plan.
Simply put, he didn't want to help light the candles.
