Chapter 38 "Ji Huaishen, are you a hug monster? Why do you always want to hug me?"
"You..." Wen Duo just started to speak when he was pulled into a hot embrace.
Ji Huaishen's arms tightened like an iron hoop, holding her firmly against his chest.
Wen Duo's cheek was pressed against his slightly cool silk pajamas, and she could clearly hear the rapid heartbeat in his chest.
"Ji Huaishen," she couldn't help but chuckle, her voice muffled in his chest, "Are you a hug freak? Why do you always have to hug me?"
"Um."
He didn't refute, but responded muffledly, buried his face in the crook of her neck that smelled of shower gel, and took a deep breath.
Wen Duo's heart suddenly softened.
A Ji Huaishen like this is very rare.
It's like he has lost all his edge, like a big boy who lacks security.
She turned gently and put her arms around his slender waist.
When his fingertips touched the tense muscles under his pajamas, Ji Huaishen's body trembled noticeably.
"I'm really okay." She said softly.
Ji Huaishen's arms tightened a little:
"Um."
"Can you let me go then?"
Her answer was a longer silence and a tighter hug.
Wen Duo blinked in confusion, and suddenly noticed the barrage of comments scrolling wildly at the edge of her vision:
Ji Huaishen: You are fine, but I am not.
The male protagonist is still in fear. He dare not imagine what Meibao would have to endure if he had been a step late.
[I thought the male protagonist was simply taking advantage]
I think it's half and half. I want to hug my sister, but I am also really scared.
[Ji Huaishen has come this far from being an illegitimate child, and he can still be scared by this? ]
[My own experiences are definitely different from the experiences of the people I cherish.]
【Makes sense】
Wen Duo looked at the barrage and no longer asked him to let go. Instead, she patted his back gently, like comforting a frightened child.
The water from Ji Huaishen's hair dripped onto Wen Duo's neck, making her feel cold.
"Ji Huaishen." She called softly.
"Yeah." Ji Huaishen responded.
"Raise your head," Wen Duo picked up the towel hanging around her neck, "I want to wipe your hair. It's soaked my pajamas."
Ji Huaishen raised his head obediently, but still maintained the hugging posture.
Only then did Wen Duo realize that the height difference between them was a bit too big.
This realization made her cheeks puff up slightly:
"How can I wipe it like this..."
The next second, the world spun. Ji Huaishen picked her up with one hand, walked a few steps to the armchair in the bedroom, sat down, and then let her sit sideways on his lap.
This height is just enough for the two people to be at eye level.
Wen Duo's face instantly burned.
She could clearly feel the firm muscle lines under her thighs and the body temperature coming through the thin pajamas.
Ji Huaishen's hand was firmly on her waist, the heat almost burning her skin.
Wen Duo knew that Ji Huaishen would not let go, so she could only blush, raise the towel to cover his head, and begin to wipe his hair.
Ji Huaishen's hair was softer than she had imagined, with a faint fragrance, entwined between her fingers.
As she moved, a few strands of unruly hair fell on his forehead, making him look less fierce and more homely and lazy.
Wen Duo unconsciously slowed down her movements, her fingertips occasionally brushing against his earlobe.
Every time this happened, she could feel the muscles under her palms slightly tense.
She secretly raised her eyes and met Ji Huai's deep gaze.
He stared at her without blinking, his eyes as dark as insoluble ink.
It was as if he wanted to tear her apart and eat her.
"Don't look at me." Wen Duo shyly covered his eyes with a towel, her voice so soft that it was almost inaudible.
"Yeah." Ji Huaishen responded, but the moment the towel was moved away, he immediately locked his gaze back on her face.
Wen Duo couldn't help laughing:
"Why are you so stubborn?"
Like a puppy.
In the end, Wen Duo could only ignore the burning gaze and concentrate on wiping his hair.
After wiping her hair half dry, Wen Duo stopped:
"alright."
Ji Huaishen didn't answer, just looked at Wen Duo.
Those dark eyes stared at her without blinking, as if wanting to carve her appearance into the depths of his soul.
Wen Duo's heart beat faster and her cheeks became hot when she saw him looking at her. She unconsciously looked away.
She could feel that Ji Huaishen was not just looking at her.
His gaze fell on her lips as if it had substance, with a kind of hidden desire.
The gaze was so scorching that Wen Duo's breathing quickened involuntarily.
She knew what Ji Huaishen meant.
But...this is too embarrassing!
Wen Duo felt that her face was so hot that she could fry an egg on it.
“Gurgle—”
Just then, an untimely sound came from her abdomen.
Wen Duo froze suddenly, wishing he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
Because she hadn't eaten since morning and had been practicing dancing, she was hungry.
Ji Huaishen finally moved his gaze away from her lips and raised his eyebrows slightly.
"I-I'm hungry."
Wen Duo stammered, taking the opportunity to struggle:
"Ji Huaishen, let me go, let's go eat, okay?"
Ji Huaishen remained silent, but he tightened his arms a little, locking her more securely in his arms.
Wen Duo was about to say something else when she suddenly felt her body lighten.
Ji Huaishen picked her up and carried her sideways, striding towards the restaurant.
"Hey! Put me down!"
Wen Duo exclaimed, and subconsciously hugged his neck to steady himself:
"I can walk by myself!"
Ji Huaishen ignored her and carried her steadily across the corridor.
【Ah ...
[I love the male protagonist’s arm strength]
[My sister looks so light, she is being held firmly]
Wen Duo buried her face in Ji Huaishen's shoulder out of embarrassment. His faint, cold fragrance lingered on her nose, mixed with the steam from his fresh shower, which made her feel inexplicably at ease.
In the restaurant, the chef has already set the table for dinner.
Four dishes and one soup, a combination of meat and vegetables, with good color, aroma and taste.
Steamed sea bass, sweet and sour pork ribs, broccoli with garlic sauce, cold-mixed black fungus, and a bowl of steaming corn and pork ribs soup, all have a fragrant aroma.
Ji Huaishen stood in front of the dining table, but had no intention of letting her go.
"Ji Huaishen," Wen Duo pushed his chest, "let me down to eat."
The man remained silent, just holding her and sitting on the chair.
Is this to... hold her while eating?
Wen Duo's eyes widened, and her ears turned red:
"How can I eat like this?"
"Just eat it like this." Ji Huaishen's voice was firm and unyielding.
He handed the chopsticks to her, then put his arms around her waist again and rested his chin lightly on her shoulder.
Wen Duo held the chopsticks, at a loss.
This posture was too intimate. She could clearly feel the warmth of the man's chest behind her, and the hot breath spraying on her neck.
"I, I can just sit and eat by myself..." Wen Duo protested softly, trying to slide off his lap.
Ji Huaishen's arms immediately tightened, holding her firmly in place.
He raised his head slightly, leaned close to her ear, and there was a rare hint of fragility in his voice:
"Let me hold you."
The tone sounded aggrieved and pleading, like a large dog afraid of being abandoned.
Wen Duo bit her lower lip, remained silent for a long time, and finally compromised:
"...Just this once."
The barrage immediately exploded:
【Ahhh, the male protagonist is acting like a spoiled child! awsl】
[My sister is soft-hearted! So sweet!]
[Who can resist this? President Ji actually acts like a spoiled brat.]
[Boss Ji, you finally got it! ]
Wen Duo blushed, tried to ignore the heat source behind her, picked up a piece of sea bass and put it into her mouth.
The fish was tender and melted in her mouth, but she had no taste for it.
Ji Huaishen's presence was too strong. His breath, his body temperature, and the hand around her waist made it impossible for her to concentrate.
