Chapter 163 "I want to. I'm going crazy thinking about it."
At night, Wen Duo was held in Ji Huaishen's arms, and the air was still filled with an ambiguous atmosphere.
Wen Duo fell dazed on Ji Huaishen's chest, her whole body as soft as a pool of melted cheese.
I feel like I am floating in the clouds, and my thoughts have become soft and fluffy.
Moreover, my hands were so tired that I was too lazy to move my fingertips.
At this moment when her consciousness was half confused and half awake, the question that had been lingering in her mind for a long time slipped out from her lips uncontrollably, her voice soft and hoarse:
"Why don't you come in?"
A question that had been lingering in her mind for several days slipped out involuntarily in this moment of relaxation after the extreme intimacy.
After asking, she was stunned at first, her cheeks suddenly flushed red, and she wanted to bury her face completely in his arms and never lift it up again.
Ji Huai's deep breathing suddenly stopped, and the arms around her tightened a little.
He lowered his eyes and looked at the furry head in his arms. He could feel the surprisingly high temperature of her cheek against his skin.
His Adam's apple rolled, and when he spoke again, his voice was even deeper and huskier than usual, laced with a distinct smile and a hint of dangerous allure:
"My dear, are you inviting me?"
Wen Duo was embarrassed by the teasing in his words, and subconsciously pinched his waist lightly. Her voice came out muffled, with obvious coquettishness:
"Who, who invited you... bad guy... I was just... asking casually...!"
That coquettish look is more itchy than a straightforward invitation.
A storm was gathering in Ji Huaishen's eyes, but he suppressed it forcefully.
He tilted his head, and his warm lips touched her hot earlobe, feeling the body in his arms tremble slightly.
After a moment's silence, he slowly spoke with an extremely patient tone, yet filled with a certain solemn expectation:
"Yes. I'm going crazy thinking about it."
He paused, as if trying to steady his somewhat disordered breathing, before continuing:
"But...I want to wait three more days."
"...Three days?"
Wen Duo's mind, which was originally shrouded in sleepiness and shyness, was awakened a little by this exact number.
She raised her head in confusion, her misty eyes looking into his bottomless pupils:
"Why three days later?"
Is there anything special?
A complex and indistinguishable glimmer flashed across Ji Huaishen's eyes, showing affection, expectation, and perhaps a hint of subtle nervousness.
He raised his hand and gently stroked her delicate cheek with the back of his fingertips, with a gentle curve at the corner of his lips:
"Haven't you always said you wanted to get to know me better? Then why not guess why it's three days?"
Wen Duo's sleepiness was completely gone.
She slightly frowned her delicate brows, tried hard to activate her somewhat malfunctioning brain, and began to think seriously.
Since Ji Huaishen specifically proposed this time, these three days must be extraordinary.
It must not be a random time, but a day that is worth his solemn waiting.
Is it an anniversary? Or some other special time point?
Her thoughts raced, filtering through the possible dates in the near future.
Suddenly, a vague thought flashed through my mind.
It's almost time for school to start.
Around this time last year, her family encountered difficulties. In order to help her family, she secretly went to one blind date after another until she met Ji Huaishen. They got married within a few days...
The fragments of memory slowly pieced together, and a bold yet somewhat unbelievable guess gradually took shape.
She raised her eyes suddenly, her heartbeat accelerating involuntarily. With a bit of caution and tentativeness, she asked softly:
"Is it...a wedding anniversary?"
A dazzling light suddenly burst out from Ji Huai's deep eyes, like fireworks suddenly exploding in the night sky.
He nodded, unable to suppress the upward curve of his lips:
"Yeah. It's our anniversary."
He paused, staring at her with burning eyes, and then dropped a piece of news that shocked Wen Duo even more:
"It's my birthday too."
"Your birthday?!"
Wen Duo was completely shocked, his pupils dilated slightly, and he repeated it subconsciously.
His wedding anniversary and his birthday...are on the same day?
Is this... a coincidence?
Ji Huaishen looked at her shocked and confused little face, his eyes incredibly soft.
He gently brushed her brow with his fingertips, as if to soothe the surprise there.
His voice was filled with relief as he slowly asked:
"Yeah. Then, dear, do you know why it's on the same day?"
Wen Duo stared blankly into his deep eyes. The emotions in them were too strong and complicated for her to fully interpret.
She shook her head honestly, "I don't know..."
Ji Huaishen chuckled softly, and that chuckle was like a hook, scratching Wen Duo's heart and making her ears even hotter.
He lowered his head and gently rubbed the tip of her nose with his tall nose bridge. The action was so intimate that the hot breath they exhaled intertwined with each other.
"because....."
He dragged out his words and lowered his voice to a very low level:
"This way, whether you care more about my birthday or our anniversary... I can always find the most legitimate and irresistible excuse to tie you firmly to my side and spend that day with you."
“........”
Wen Duo fell silent for a moment. Her throat seemed to be blocked by something sour, her nose felt sore, and her eyes were quickly filled with a layer of warm moisture.
Why is he like this...
It was always like this, using the calmest tone to say the words that hurt her the most.
She suddenly buried her face hard in his strong chest, her voice muffled and with a barely perceptible sob:
"Why are you like this..."
Ji Huaishen was startled by her sudden emotion. He tightened his arms around her slightly and gently stroked her smooth back with his palms.
"What's going on?"
Wen Duo raised her head a little, revealing a pair of slightly red eyes, staring at him. Rather than complaining, the look in her eyes was more like a look of heartache and a little bit of grievance.
"You always act so cautious and worried... like I'm some ruthless person who'll abandon you at any moment. Obviously, obviously... I don't know any of this."
"...You didn't tell me! I thought...I thought you didn't like me that much, so you were so cold and indifferent to me, just doing business...So I didn't dare ask you anything, didn't dare expect anything...This is not my fault! It's all your fault! Who told you not to say anything!"
The more she spoke, the more aggrieved she felt, and she even hit Ji Huaishen twice.
Although the force is very light.
Ji Huaishen let her complain and beat him, his eyes so gentle that tears could drip from them.
He closed his arms and hugged her tighter, as if he wanted to rub her into his bones and blood.
"Well, blame me."
He readily admitted his mistake, his tone full of indulgence:
"It's all my fault. I'm a coward."
Wen Duo's heart trembled when he called her a "coward", and the grievance she felt instantly turned into a sweet and bitter heartache.
She sniffed, put on a tsundere look, and snorted:
"It's all your fault! A real man should be bolder! Could it be... could it be that you want a girl like me to take the initiative..."
Ji Huaishen felt a joyful vibration in his chest and held her tighter in his arms, as if he wanted to rub her into his bones and blood:
"It's all my fault. From now on...I'll try to be bolder."
He pronounced the last few words particularly clearly, with a hint of ambiguity, which made Wen Duo's cheeks, which had just calmed down a little, burn again.
"Hmph, bad guy!" Wen Duo muttered, but did not refuse.
