Xu Qingyun realized what she had done, but it was too late.
Her heart skipped a beat, and she tried to push Ji Hanchen away, but a pair of strong hands landed on her soft waist.
Ji Hanchen held her slender waist, his hot palms rubbing against Xu Qingyun's skin through her light blue pajamas.
She felt as if all the moisture in her throat had been drained away, her lips trembled slightly, and she uttered a soft, hoarse voice, "Ji... Ji Hanchen."
The thunder and rain outside the window masked the muffled groan that Ji Hanchen let out from deep in his throat.
It was as if a ferocious beast was trapped inside Ji Hanchen's body, yearning to be released, yet forcibly restrained by him.
Ji Hanchen used all his strength to restrain his hands and prevent himself from forcefully pressing the woman in front of him towards him.
His Adam's apple bobbed, his voice was tense, and his tone was slightly teasing, "Is Yunyun afraid of thunder?"
Xu Qingyun pursed her red lips and carefully swallowed, but still couldn't relieve the dryness in her throat.
She finally managed to calm her racing heart and said softly, "Ji Hanchen, my hair is dry. Let's go to sleep early."
"Okay." Ji Hanchen agreed, but his hand on Xu Qingyun's waist showed no sign of letting go.
Xu Qingyun's body stiffened, her breathing became erratic, and she silently cried out in her heart: Ji Hanchen, let go.
Time passed second by second, and outside the window, a fierce wind whipped up a torrential rain, splashing the chill of autumn onto the earth.
But the room temperature kept rising, and the air was filled with a sweltering heat that made one blush and their heart race.
“Yunyun…” Ji Hanchen said in a hoarse voice.
"Hmm?" Xu Qingyun didn't dare to look at him, feeling a little hot.
Ji Hanchen's fingers tightened slightly. "I want to kiss you."
boom!
It felt like a fireball had exploded inside her brain, and Xu Qingyun's face instantly turned as red as if it were dripping blood.
Forget about keeping her composure, she shoved Ji Hanchen aside and ran back to her room, slamming the door shut.
Xu Qingyun leaned against the door, her hands pressed against her wildly beating chest, her clear, bright eyes wide with disbelief.
What exactly was Ji Hanchen saying just now? Did he want to kiss her?
How could anyone say something so bluntly?
Ji Hanchen said he had no feelings for her and only took care of her because of his grandfather's request. So what happened just now?
Lust at first sight?
Xu Qingyun cursed inwardly: You lecherous scoundrel!
But she herself had a problem; why did she press Ji Hanchen against her chest?
Xu Qingyun covered her burning cheeks in frustration, wishing she could disappear into a crack in the ground.
Ji Hanchen remained seated on the sofa, his breathing heavy and hot.
The girl's soft touch seemed to still linger, a strange and stimulating sensation, like a tiny electric current drilling into his veins, rapidly coursing through his bloodstream, leaving behind waves of tingling pleasure that made his heart flutter.
Ji Hanchen actually regretted blurting out "I want to kiss you" without thinking.
Did that girl mistake him for a pervert again?
After a long while, Ji Hanchen licked his dry lips and went back into the bathroom.
**
A torrential rainstorm lasted until after 3 a.m.
Xu Qingyun tossed and turned, her mind a jumble of images of Ji Hanchen.
Ji Hanchen held an umbrella for her at the funeral;
In the hotel, Ji Hanchen was on top of her, his male hormones surging over her;
At the Ji family ancestral home, Ji Hanchen looked at her through the mirrored glass with a pair of aggressive black eyes.
Xu Qingyun discovered that although she rejected Ji Hanchen's approach, many of his shadows remained in her memories.
"Why……"
What's wrong with her?
Unable to sleep, Xu Qingyun simply took out her phone and scrolled through Ji Hanchen's WeChat Moments.
—The hot noodle soup made by the little girl herself tastes pretty good.
The word "little girl" made Xu Qingyun feel pampered, as if Ji Hanchen liked her.
Xu Qingyun blushed again. What was she thinking? Ji Hanchen was only taking care of her because of her grandfather.
No, I need to go to sleep right away.
**
Xu Qingyun goes to bed late and wakes up late.
Moreover, to avoid embarrassment, she did not leave the room even after waking up.
Xu Qingyun didn't sit up until she heard some noise from next door. She waited for Ji Hanchen to leave her house before going to wash up.
However, there were noises outside the room that lasted for a full hour before they stopped.
Then came the sounds of doors opening and closing.
They've left?
Xu Qingyun gently opened the door, and only after confirming that Ji Hanchen had really left did she let out a long sigh of relief.
There was a note left on the restaurant table, with Ji Hanchen's strong and powerful handwriting on it.
—Yunyun, there's freshly cooked millet porridge in the clay pot, egg pancakes in the frying pan, and washed strawberries and grapes in the fruit platter. Remember to eat them.
Xu Qingyun paused slightly, then opened the clay pot, releasing the aroma of rice.
The egg pancakes were perfectly made, golden brown, soft and tender, and full of egg flavor.
Xu Qingyun was surprised that Ji Hanchen, a prodigy, could even make egg pancakes.
The thought that he had prepared breakfast for her earlier filled Xu Qingyun with warmth.
Of the entire Xu family, only her grandfather was kind to her.
After being kicked out of the Xu family, although her cousin and uncle took her away, her uncle was very strict with her, and she would not get any food if she did not complete her training.
It's been a long time since anyone has prepared breakfast for her and told her to eat it while it's hot.
Ji Hanchen...
Xu Qingyun took out her phone and sent a message to Ji Hanchen.
—Uncle Ji, thank you for preparing breakfast.
Ji Hanchen's face darkened. Uncle Ji?
After just one night, he's back to being Uncle Ji again?!
