Chapter 47047 Don't Touch Me
When Xue Yi got home, the first thing he did was turn on the air conditioner.
The cool breeze slowly dispelled the stuffiness in the room. She walked into the kitchen with her shopping bag and began to organize the ingredients she had bought.
Yu Zeyuan also walked in, looked at her busy figure, and asked softly, "Is there anything I can help you with?"
Xue Yi took out a bag of shrimp and poured it all into the vegetable washing basket. "Then can you help me cut off the shrimp heads?"
Yu Zeyuan looked at the shrimps that were still jumping around and frowned slightly, "How do we do this?"
Xue Yi picked up the scissors neatly, aimed at the shrimp head and snipped it. "Like this, don't cut too much."
The headless shrimps were still bouncing slightly in the basket, but she looked calm, as if she was doing something very natural.
"Can't you wait until they stop moving before cutting them?"
"Then it's not new."
Yu Zeyuan stared at the shrimps silently and did not take any action.
Xue Ruo seemed to realize something, turned around and asked suspiciously, "You can't be so heartless, right?"
Yu Zeyuan's eyes flickered, and he grabbed the shrimp from the basket and raised his voice, "How is that possible?"
Xue Yi said "Oh" meaningfully, turned around and continued to arrange other dishes, but a smile of understanding flashed in his eyes.
He looks cold and cool, but unexpectedly he is quite soft-hearted.
Yu Zeyuan pursed his lips, as if he had made up his mind, took a deep breath, picked up the scissors, and started cutting according to the instructions.
By the time Xue Yi finished preparing the side dishes, Yu Zeyuan had also completed his task. His brows lit up as if he had accomplished something truly significant. "Is there anything else I can help you with?"
"Then can you help me wash these vegetables?" "Okay."
"Would you like to peel a few more cloves of garlic?"
"good."
Xue Yi turned her head to look at Yu Zeyuan who was working seriously with his head down, and unconsciously curled the corners of her mouth.
I used to think he was just a bad-tempered and materialistic young master, but after getting to know him, I discovered that he was actually using a rebellious appearance to hide a soft and loveless heart.
The two of them were in perfect harmony, like an old couple who had been married for many years, and lunch was ready in no time.
"Let's eat." Xue Yi picked up the chopsticks and sat down at the dining table.
"Yeah." Yu Zeyuan responded and picked up a piece of stir-fried pork with chopsticks. He frowned as soon as he put it in his mouth, but soon returned to normal.
"What's wrong? Is it not tasty?"
"No."
Xue Yi also picked up a piece of pepper and tasted it. The spiciness immediately made her cough. "I clearly chose green peppers! Why are they so spicy?"
Even she, who can tolerate spicy food, couldn't stand it, let alone Yu Zeyuan who couldn't tolerate spicy food.
His already rosy lips became visibly redder, as if they were covered with lipstick, and were slightly swollen.
Yu Zeyuan picked up the water cup and took a few sips, barely suppressing the spiciness, and praised in a low voice: "It tastes good."
What's good about it? My mouth is so spicy and swollen.
Xue Yi quickly pushed the plate of stir-fried pork aside and put the peeled shrimp into Yu Zeyuan's bowl. "Don't eat that, try the shrimp."
Yu Zeyuan looked at the snow-white shrimp in the bowl, his eyes flickering slightly. From childhood to adulthood, no one had ever peeled shrimp for him like this. Ripples appeared in his heart, and he said softly: "Thank you, you should eat more too."
Xue Yi smiled dotingly and said nothing more.
During the meal, she noticed that Yu Zeyuan glanced at her from time to time, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
Xue Yi took the initiative to ask: "Do you have anything to say to me?"
Yu Zeyuan paused while picking up the vegetables.
He thought he had concealed it well, but she still saw through him. His eyelashes trembled slightly, and he avoided her gaze and said, "I... have to go home tomorrow. I may not be able to see you in the next few days."
In fact, he didn't want to go back, but some things had to be faced, just like Xue Yi said, escape would not solve any problem.
Wouldn't that mean she'd miss Chinese Valentine's Day? Would her confession plan also be ruined?
Xue Yi's expression froze, fearing that he would overthink things. She pretended to be cheerful and said, "It just so happens that I haven't finished dealing with my family matters yet. Just remember to tell me when you're done."
Yu Zeyuan stood up guiltily, took the initiative to clean up the dishes, and said slowly: "I will go back to the hotel and pack my luggage later."
Xue Yi felt a surge of reluctance in his heart.
We just met and we have to part ways. I want to stay a little longer.
Her eyes fell on his fair profile, and her heart moved. She blurted out: "Then before you leave, can you accompany me to watch a movie at home?"
*
In the dim living room, the projector projects Hayao Miyazaki's "Howl's Moving Castle" onto the screen.
Xue Yi and Yu Zeyuan sat side by side on the sofa, with a distance between them that was neither too close nor too far.
"Have you seen this movie?"
"No."
Xue Yi was a little surprised. This animation was quite classic.
She also recently learned about the restored version and wanted to rewatch it, but more importantly, she said, "I think you and the male protagonist in the movie are a bit similar."
"Yeah?"
Yu Zeyuan was slightly surprised.
The screen just happened to show Sophie being molested by an officer when Howl fell from the sky, with blonde hair, fair skin and delicate features.
Seeing this scene, he couldn't help but frowning. So, in her eyes, he was just a pretty boy?
"Um."
Xue Yi turned his head to look at Yu Zeyuan, the light and shadow of the screen flowing on his well-defined profile, sometimes bright and sometimes dark.
It really looks alike.
A delicate and fragile beautiful boy.
He seemed to notice her gaze and turned his head away.
Xue Yi was so scared that she quickly bent down and picked up a bag of potato chips from the coffee table. When she tore open the package, her elbow accidentally rubbed his arm.
Yu Zeyuan continued to stare at the screen intently, his thoughts already disturbed by the person beside him. He could clearly feel the subtle touch on his arm, like the caress of a feather, bringing a slight itch that went straight into his heart.
His throat felt slightly dry, so he stood up to get a glass of water. When he sat back down, he quietly moved a little closer to Xue Yi.
There was only half a fist's distance between the two of them.
"Want to eat something?"
Xue Yi turned sideways and handed the potato chips to him.
Yu Zeyuan was stunned.
He usually doesn't like these snacks, but he still took a piece and put it in his mouth. The potato chips were crisp and had a sour tomato taste.
"More?"
"No."
After he finished speaking, he found Xue Yi's dark eyes staring at him without blinking, and he couldn't help feeling a little uncomfortable: "What's wrong?"
Xue Yi's eyes fell on his still slightly swollen lips, and he whispered, "Something got on it."
Probably potato chip crumbs.
Just as he was about to raise his hand to wipe it, Xue Yi suddenly leaned over and lightly brushed the corner of his lips with her soft fingertips.
Yu Zeyuan's mind buzzed and went blank in an instant.
The face so close to him and the familiar fragrance made his Adam's apple roll unconsciously.
Xue Yi didn't retreat immediately. Instead, she moved closer and closer. Her warm breath brushed against his ear, and her voice was as soft as a whisper: "Your skin is so smooth."
These words, like a spark that lit the fuse, completely ignited the long-suppressed restlessness.
He suddenly stretched out his hand and hugged Xue Yi's waist. His misty peach blossom eyes stared straight into hers, and his voice was low and hoarse, full of temptation: "Then... do you still want to keep touching?"
Xue Yi's heartbeat was so fast that it was about to burst out of her chest. She climbed onto his broad shoulders with both hands, staring into his fiery gaze, and said unyieldingly, "I do!"
The air seemed to freeze, leaving only the background music from the movie and the intertwining sounds of each other's breathing.
Yu Zeyuan's gaze slowly slid down from her eyes, and finally stopped at her plump lips. Without hesitation, he lowered his head and kissed her.
At first it was just a gentle touch, tentative, until he felt the other party's response, he became eager and passionate, one hand tightly wrapped around her waist, the other hand stroked her cheek, his fingers gently stroking the delicate skin, cautiously and cherishingly.
Xue Yi felt dizzy, all her thoughts were drained away, leaving only his breath, the warmth of his lips, and that strong heartbeat...
She recalled the unfinished exploration on the mountain. The hand that had been around her neck slowly slid down along her collarbone and into the hem of her shirt. However, what she touched was not the firm skin she had imagined, but another layer of fabric.
She's wearing a vest underneath?!
Xue Yi's cheeks flushed, her breath was still, and she bit the tip of his tongue in dissatisfaction.
Yu Zeyuan frowned in pain, and the restless hands on his body lifted the corner of his vest and finally touched the muscles of his abdomen.
The delicate touch made his already disordered breathing even more rapid, and he was almost unable to control himself. He grabbed the pair of mischievous hands, let go of her breathlessly, and said in a hoarse voice: "Don't touch me..."
"Okay, but you have to..." She leaned close to his ear, her warm breath wrapped in a hint of cunning: "Call me sister and listen."
Yu Zeyuan's already red cheeks burned even hotter. He clenched his teeth and whispered in shame and anger, "Don't push your luck."
Xue Yi chuckled and pinched his hot cheek with her fingertips. "Before in the bar, weren't you calling me sister so easily? Why are you shy now?"
Yu Zeyuan held her restless hand and explained softly, "That time it was because we lost the big dare."
So, he wasn't deliberately chatting me up just to solicit business?
Xue Yi grasped the key point and asked, "Then why did you choose me?"
Yu Zeyuan lowered his eyelids, avoiding her probing gaze, "I just... think it's more pleasing to the eye."
Xue Yi refused to give in. She gently lifted his chin with her finger, forcing him to look at her: "So what now?"
Her eyes were particularly bright in the dim light, like twinkling stars.
Yu Zeyuan's heart warmed up, and he almost blurted out: "Very beautiful."
"What else?"
"do you like me?"
Xue Yi finally asked the question that had been lingering in her heart for a long time. From the beginning until now, it seemed that she had always been the one to express her feelings. Although she could feel Yu Zeyuan's emotions, she still wanted to hear him express them in person.
Not only did Yu Zeyuan's face turn red, but even his ears and neck were red enough to seem like they were about to bleed.
He slowly clenched his hands, as if mustering up great courage, and softly admitted, "I like it."
"What? I didn't hear that clearly."
Xue Yi deliberately moved closer with a mischievous smile on his lips.
Even though he knew she was doing it on purpose, Yu Zeyuan still took a deep breath and looked directly into her eyes. His gaze was scorching and serious, and every word he said was crystal clear: "Xue Yi, I like you. I like you very much, very much!"
His voice trembled with nervousness, but was particularly sincere: "Will you be my girlfriend?"
