Chapter 94 His longing surged like a tide
When Yue Lingyao gently closed the door of Yu Zhi's room, the warm light from the ceiling lamp in the corridor fell on the texture of the carpet.
She turned and walked towards the elevator, not noticing that a slender figure was slowly walking out of the shadow of the emergency passage behind her.
Pei Yuezhou stood there, his fingertips unconsciously stroking the room card in his pocket.
His skin, already cold and pale, now glowed almost transparently under the corridor lights. Under his high nose bridge, his thin lips were pursed into a straight line.
Only those beautiful peach blossom eyes, filled with thick undercurrents, looked at the door of Yu Zhi's room.
The room card was inserted into the keyhole, and the light "beep" sound was particularly clear in the silent corridor.
When Pei Yuezhou pushed the door open, he first smelled the faint smell of alcohol in the room, mixed with the white tea aroma that Yu Zhi often used, which instantly entangled his senses.
There was only a small bedside lamp on in the bedroom, and the warm yellow light shone on Yu Zhi's face.
She lay on her side, her long hair spread on the pillow, revealing a slender neck. The collar of her pajamas was loose, revealing the delicate skin at the shoulder line.
She seemed to be sleeping uneasily, with her brows slightly furrowed and mumbling something vaguely.
Pei Yuezhou walked over lightly and squatted down beside the bed.
He stretched out his hand, his fingertips hovering above her cheek, and hesitated for a long time before gently lowering it.
His fingertips rubbed against her warm skin, and the delicate touch made his heart tremble.
He missed this kind of warmth so much. Even her unconscious frown at this moment after being drunk made him feel that his heart was filled.
"Zhizhi..." Pei Yuezhou called her name softly, his voice as light as a sigh, "I know you don't want to see me now."
It didn't matter, it would be the same if he came to see her.
Pei Yuezhou's fingertips slowly slid into her hair, and he carefully tucked the strands of hair sticking to her cheeks behind her ears.
Yu Zhi seemed to be startled by the noise. Her eyelashes trembled, and she turned over to face him, with the corners of her mouth unconsciously curled up.
Pei Yuezhou's breathing suddenly stopped.
Her eyes were closed, with a faint red at the corners of her eyes. Perhaps it was because of the alcohol she had drunk, even her lips were moist and pink.
He stared at her lips for a long time, and his Adam's apple rolled unconsciously.
The desire that had been suppressed for too long suddenly wrapped around his heart like a vine, strangling him so much that he could hardly breathe.
He leaned down, his nose almost touching her forehead, and could clearly smell the alcohol on her breath, a little sweet, yet a little strange that made him feel uneasy.
He knew he shouldn't do this, that he was taking advantage of someone's misfortune, but the dark voice in his heart was clamoring.
Get closer to her, get closer.
Pei Yuezhou's kiss first landed on her forehead, very lightly.
Seeing that she didn't react, he dared to slowly move it down to the corner of her eye.
The warm breath made Yu Zhi frown and let out a vague hum.
Pei Yuezhou paused, his heart beating wildly, almost jumping out of his throat.
He stared at her face for a few seconds, making sure it was just an unconscious reaction before he dared to move on and finally kissed her lips.
At first, he just pressed against her gently, not daring to use force.
But the longing was so overwhelming that it drowned him like a tide.
He couldn't help but deepen the kiss. He carefully pried open her lips with the tip of his tongue, then reached in and entwined his tongue with hers and rubbed it slowly.
Yu Zhi seemed to be awakened by the strange touch. She half-opened her eyes, looked at him with a dazed look, and muttered vaguely, "...Who is it..."
Pei Yuezhou's heart suddenly tightened, but he didn't stop immediately. He put his forehead against hers and said in a very soft voice, "Zhizhi, it's me."
She blinked, as if she didn't hear clearly, and didn't seem to react.
She just instinctively rubbed against his arms, found a comfortable position, closed her eyes again, and muttered: "...Don't make noise...I'm very sleepy..."
That look of complete dependence made Pei Yuezhou's heart soften instantly, but it also felt like being tightly pulled by something.
She avoided him like the plague when she was awake, but only when she was drunk did she let him get so close to her without any defense.
This realization made the undercurrent in his eyes even stronger, and even his actions became more paranoid.
His kiss slowly moved down, from her chin to the side of her neck, and then down to her collarbone.
He didn't dare leave kisses where she could see them when she was awake, so he could only leave kisses where she couldn't feel them, and on her waist.
He bit her lips lightly, causing Yu Zhi to unconsciously grab his arm.
"Don't be afraid..." He whispered soothingly, but the kiss marks became deeper and deeper, as if he wanted to carve his mark on her skin, "I just... missed you too much."
His hand slowly slid inside her pajamas, his breathing quickening as his fingertips touched her warm skin.
He gently stroked her waist, his movements filled with cautious exploration and uncontrollable desire.
Yu Zhi turned over unconsciously.
Pei Yuezhou paused, but did not stop, he just reduced his strength.
His fingertips slowly moved upwards, tracing the outline of her ribs and feeling the steady heartbeat in her chest.
At least at this moment, she was by his side, her heart beating for herself and for his closeness at this moment.
He leaned down and buried his face in the crook of her neck, taking a deep breath that was filled with her scent.
The aroma of white tea mixed with the smell of alcohol made his eyes red instantly.
"Zhizhi, when will you be willing to see me?" he asked in a low voice, his voice filled with grievance that he himself didn't even notice. "I know you're angry, I know you don't want to pay attention to me, but I... I can't live without you."
His hands tightly embraced her waist and pulled her closer to him, as if he wanted to rub her into his own flesh and blood.
Yu Zhi felt a little breathless in his embrace. She frowned and pushed him away, but failed to push him away. She could only continue to rub against him in his arms, find a comfortable position, and fall asleep again.
Pei Yuezhou held her like this, sitting by the bed, motionless.
The warm light from the bedside lamp fell on them, lengthening his shadow and making the paranoia and desire in his eyes particularly clear.
He looked at her sleeping face, and gently brushed his fingers across her cheek, over and over again, as if to confirm that the person in front of him was real.
I don’t know how long it took, but the sky outside the window gradually turned pale.
Pei Yuezhou knew that he had to leave. If he didn't leave now, when Yu Zhi woke up, she would find out that he had been there.
He carefully released his arms from holding her, pulled her pajamas up to cover the hidden kiss marks, and covered her with the quilt to ensure she slept soundly.
He took one last look at her, his eyes filled with reluctance and attachment, as well as a barely perceptible hint of darkness.
Pei Yuezhou closed the bedroom door gently, as quietly as when he came.
The lights in the corridor were off, and only the green light of the emergency passage was dimly lit, reflecting his cold pale profile and the undercurrent in his eyes.
He leaned against the wall and took out a cigarette from his pocket, but did not light it. He just held it between his fingertips and let the tobacco slowly fall out.
He knew this was wrong, that he was getting close to her in an almost pathological way, but he couldn't control it.
In the bedroom, Yu Zhi turned over and touched her collarbone.
She didn't open her eyes, but the corners of her lips curled up slightly.
