Chapter 268 No One Else, Only You
Chu Ci looked at Tang Yutong's gloating expression, his face darkened slightly, and he asked in a somewhat unhappy tone:
"Is it funny?"
He lowered his voice and slowly approached.
Tang Yutong didn't realize the danger yet, she nodded while wiping her tears:
"It's really funny, hahahaha...ah!"
She suddenly screamed because Chu Ci's hand had already attacked her waist.
"To make you laugh at me..."
Chu Ci's fingers flexibly moved around her sensitive areas.
"Don't you like to laugh? Huh?"
“Hahahaha… Stop it… I was wrong…”
Tang Yutong curled up in a ball on the sofa, her long hair spread out on the cushions, her cheeks flushed from laughing and lack of oxygen.
She tried desperately to dodge, but Chu Ci trapped her firmly in the corner of the sofa.
Chu Ci looked at her laughing so hard that she was out of breath, and his hands gradually slowed down.
Before he knew it, they were so close that he could count her eyelashes.
The faint scent of her perfume mixed with the fresh fragrance of shampoo made him dazed for a moment.
Tang Yutong also suddenly calmed down, her breathing a little rapid.
She opened her eyes wide and looked at the handsome face so close to her.
Chu Ci's eyelashes cast a small shadow under the light, and there was a tenderness in his eyes that she had never seen before.
The air seemed to freeze.
Chu Ci looked at Tang Yutong, and her faint fragrance seemed to still linger in the air.
His gaze slowly moved from her fingers that were frantically fixing her hair to her slightly parted lips. The faint pink hue was like a silent invitation.
"Yutong..."
He called to her softly, his voice a little deeper than usual.
"Um?"
She subconsciously looked up, but was caught off guard and met his deep eyes.
The next second, Chu Ci leaned over, clasped her neck with one hand, and kissed her lips without hesitation.
Tang Yutong's eyes widened instantly, and her mind went blank.
His lips were warm and soft, with a faint minty scent. At first, he just pressed them lightly, as if testing her reaction.
When she didn't push him away, he deepened the kiss, his tongue gently tracing the shape of her lips, patiently coaxing her into responding.
Tang Yutong's heart was beating so fast that it almost burst out of her chest, and her fingers unconsciously clenched the front of his shirt.
She should have pushed him away, but her body seemed to be under a spell and she couldn't move.
Chu Ci noticed her acquiescence, and his other hand slowly stroked her waist, his fingertips gently stroking through the thin fabric of her shirt with a burning temperature.
However, just as his hand began to move upwards restlessly, Tang Yutong suddenly woke up and grabbed his wrist.
"etc……"
She turned her head to avoid his kiss, her chest heaving slightly, her breathing becoming rapid and unstable.
"Chu Ci, no."
Chu Ci's movements came to an abrupt halt. He stepped back a little, his dark eyes surging with lingering emotions. His Adam's apple rolled up and down, and he looked at her with a slight breath.
Her cheeks were flushed, her lips were moist and shiny from the kiss just now, but her eyes were a little flustered.
"Why not?"
His voice was a little deeper than usual, and carried a burning heat.
Tang Yutong bit her lower lip unconsciously, making her already bright red lips even brighter.
She lowered her eyelashes, avoiding his direct gaze:
"We've... only been together for two days... this is too fast."
Tang Yutong bit her lower lip, trying to make her voice sound calm.
Chu Ci took a deep breath, as if trying hard to restrain something.
He slowly withdrew his hand that was supporting her ear, but did not let her go completely. Instead, he gently stroked the inside of her wrist with his fingertips.
He gently pressed his hand against her forehead and whispered:
"Then how long do we have to wait? A week? Or a month?"
Tang Yutong suddenly opened her eyes wide and was speechless for a moment.
Of course she knew that fast-food romance was popular nowadays, but she didn't expect him to say it so... bluntly.
Chu Ci could say something like that, so does that mean he's slept with a lot of girls? Rich second-generations like them should never be short of women, right? Maybe there were even a few casual affairs...
This thought pierced into Tang Yutong's heart like a thorn. The more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt, and his face gradually turned cold.
"Have you ever...been like this to other girls?"
Tang Yutong stared straight into Chu Ci's eyes, her voice trembling slightly unconsciously, revealing a hint of imperceptible nervousness.
As soon as she said this, Tang Yutong suddenly realized that she and Chu Ci had only known each other for a short week, and this relationship was not something she was willing to start.
But at this moment, her heart was filled with ripples because of this question.
Why does she care so much about whether Chu Ci had other women in the past?
Is it the possessive desire that quietly grows deep in my heart, or is it...
Tang Yutong suddenly felt panicky and didn't dare to think any further.
Could it be that in just this short week of getting along, I have unknowingly fallen in love with this man in front of me?
Thinking of this, a trace of confusion and helplessness flashed in her eyes.
Chu Ci was stunned at first, then chuckled softly, with faint smile lines appearing at the corners of his eyes:
"Is Mr. Tang...jealous?"
Tang Yutong didn't respond, but just stared at him stubbornly, her eyes so sharp that it seemed as if she could see through his disguise.
The air suddenly became quiet.
Chu Ci then realized that Tang Yutong seemed angry. Although the facts were indeed as she thought, how could he admit it voluntarily? That would be tantamount to digging his own grave, what difference would it make to seeking death?
He restrained his smile, leaned close to her ear, and his warm breath brushed her sensitive earlobe:
"No one else, only you."
Tang Yutong turned her face away and snorted softly, obviously not buying it.
Seeing this, Chu Ci reached out and held her face, forcing her to look at him.
Those eyes that always contained a frivolous smile were now focused and serious, as if all disguises had been removed, leaving only the most straightforward emotions.
He lowered his head slightly, his forehead almost touching hers, his voice low and gentle:
"Really, I admit that I like to play, but I never do anything reckless."
His thumb gently rubbed her cheek, as if to comfort her, or as if to make a silent promise.
"I just said that... because I like you so much."
His breath brushed against her lips, carrying a slightly warm temperature, and his voice was so low that it was almost a whisper:
"I like you so much...I want to keep you for myself."
He paused, his Adam's apple rolling, as if he was choosing his words, or as if he had finally made up his mind to confess:
"I'm not that casual... I only desire people I truly like..."
When Chu Ci said this, his eyes were filled with heart-wrenching sincerity, and even he himself almost believed it, if he ignored the subtle guilt in his heart.
But Tang Yutong couldn't hear his thoughts.
She could only see his eyes and eyebrows so close to her, could only hear his low and gentle voice, could only feel the warmth of his fingertips.
Her heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and her chest felt like it was hit hard by something, causing her breathing to be slightly choked.
The tips of her ears felt hot, and so did her cheeks. She even wondered if he could hear her pounding heartbeat.
She seemed to really like him.
At this moment, Tang Yutong seemed to be under a spell. She was instantly lost in Chu Ci's sweet words. How could she remember why she was angry just now?
Her mind was now full of Chu Ci saying that he liked her, and she also happened to like him...
Chu Ci keenly noticed the relaxation in Tang Yutong's expression, and a hint of a triumphant smile flashed in his eyes.
He softened his voice and approached with a flattering tone:
"I was too impatient just now... Can you forgive me?"
Tang Yutong was no longer angry. She believed what Chu Ci said. It was because she liked him that she wanted to...
Chu Ci's words, "I will only desire the person I truly love," were like a drop of honey, silently melting her defenses.
But she wouldn't let him get away so easily.
Tang Yutong deliberately put on a stern face and poked his chest with her fingertips:
"Then I'll forgive you this time. If there's a next time..."
Before Tang Yutong could finish her words, Chu Ci quickly grasped her fingers and pecked her on the cheek.
"I know my girlfriend is the best."
There was an unconcealable smile in his voice, and his warm lips touched hers immediately.
Looking at the tips of Tang Yutong's ears turning red instantly, Chu Ci secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
This crisis was finally overcome without any danger, but next time, I must remember to be more restrained in my words in front of Tang Yutong...
They had just been dating for a few days and Tang Yutong didn't want the atmosphere to become too awkward.
She blinked and suddenly showed a sly smile:
"When you tickled me earlier, I wanted to tell you something..."
She deliberately dragged out the last word, and seeing Chu Ci's ears prick up instantly, she added playfully:
"But seeing as you're like this, I guess you don't want to know, so forget it~"
Chu Ci couldn't stand people talking halfway through. He narrowed his eyes and reached out to pinch Tang Yutong's cheek:
"Tang Yutong, you did this on purpose, didn't you?"
Tang Yutong directly and generously admitted:
"Yeah, I did it on purpose~"
Tang Yutong made a face at him while speaking, and that smug expression clearly said:
What do you think? I just like the way you can't stand me but can't get rid of me, lol lol!
Chu Ci's expression suddenly changed. He looked at Tang Yutong with an aggrieved look on his face. He gently shook Tang Yutong's arm and said pitifully:
"Just tell me, I want to know..."
His voice was unusually soft, and his eyelashes fluttered, making him look like a spoiled little puppy.
This move was a sure kill for Tang Yutong.
This reminded Tang Yutong of what happened before, and she instantly developed a psychological shadow towards Chu Ci. She was really afraid that Chu Ci would keep pestering her, so she quickly raised her hands in surrender:
"Stop, I'm telling you! Don't look at me like that!"
"Tell me, what's the matter."
Chu Ci immediately put away his pitiful expression, and the corners of his mouth curled up in a triumphant arc. Tang Yutong finally realized that she had been fooled again, and her cheeks puffed up with anger.
But what does Tang Yutong think of you giving up so easily?
"actually……"
She deliberately dragged out her tone, pretending to be thinking, and then seemed to have thought of something, looking at Chu Ci excitedly and said:
"I wanted to tell you...I forgot."
Chu Ci was looking at Tang Yutong expectantly. He thought Tang Yutong could tell him something, but when Tang Yutong said the last three words, Chu Ci's expression froze instantly, and veins on his forehead throbbed faintly.
Are you teasing him???
Seeing someone about to get angry, Tang Yutong quickly smoothed things over:
"Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore. I'm telling you."
The expression on Chu Ci's face looked better now, but he looked at Tang Yutong with a half-believing and half-doubting expression. It was obvious that he would not be easily fooled by Tang Yutong this time.
Tang Yutong did not take his attitude to heart and continued:
"Let me make it clear first, I told you not to be angry."
Chu Ci thought, the most infuriating thing is this little scoundrel in front of him, what could be more infuriating than her current state? He helplessly hooked her fingers:
"I'm in a good mood, go ahead."
Tang Yutong took a deep breath and confessed quickly:
"Actually, I was just teasing you when I said you could only drink porridge... The doctor said you can eat normally..."
Her voice became smaller and smaller, and she secretly observed Chu Ci's reaction like a kitten that had done something wrong.
Chu Ci froze in place, his usually lively peach blossom eyes now widened, and even his breathing stopped for a few seconds.
Tang Yutong hadn't expected Chu Ci to be so easily deceived. The meals she'd brought with her during her hospitalization clearly included a combination of meat and vegetables, yet after being discharged, she had to eat only plain porridge for a week? This lie was so poorly written that even she found it laughable, but Chu Ci actually believed it.
When Tang Yutong thought of this, she suddenly felt a sweetness and a sense of guilt. Chu Ci trusted her so much, but she lied to him...
"real?"
Chu Ci finally found his voice, a hint of disbelief flashing in his eyes.
Unexpectedly, instead of being angry about being deceived, he showed a relieved expression, as if he had escaped a disaster.
Tang Yutong raised three fingers as if to swear, her almond eyes filled with sincerity:
"It's absolutely true... I won't lie to you this time..."
Chu Ci suddenly leaned forward, his slender arms resting on the back of the sofa beside her ear, trapping her in a small space.
He tapped his left chest with his fingertips and said in a wronged tone:
"Then shouldn't you compensate me? I feel like my young heart has been deeply traumatized."
Tang Yutong's heartbeat quickened at his sudden approach, but she pretended to be calm:
"How do you want me to compensate you?"
She stared at Chu Ci warily, fearing that he would make excessive demands.
The man's handsome face enlarged in front of her eyes, and suddenly stopped when her noses were about to touch.
He deliberately lowered his voice, with a hint of bewitching:
"How do you want to compensate me? Or... pay me with your body?"
"Flesh...flesh compensation?"
Tang Yutong's pupils suddenly dilated, and the crimson color spread from the tips of her ears to her neck.
She leaned back like a frightened rabbit, her delicate fingers resting on Chu Ci's strong chest:
"Chu Ci! You...what are you talking about!"
In embarrassment and anger, she pushed hard, almost sinking into the corner of the sofa, as if to draw a clear line between them.
Chu Ci was caught off guard and pushed backward, but he lazily sank into the single sofa.
