Chapter Seventy-Two
Jiang You knew perfectly well what a man and a woman were up to in a room in the middle of the night.
***
The warm orange light from the floor lamp diffused throughout the room, casting the silhouette of the chair.
***
Her eyes were unfocused, her thoughts seemingly adrift.
There were still plans for tomorrow, so the man didn't bother the girl too much. In the middle of the night, after the last time, Jiang You collapsed to the side.
Xia Yan untied her **.
Xia Yan swallowed hard, his Adam's apple bobbing slightly. His amorous peach blossom eyes grew increasingly dark, and he said in a low voice, "There's nothing fun in the capital. How about we just stay indoors tomorrow?"
Jiang You rubbed his wrist, and when he met the boy's restrained gaze, he quickly said, "This is my first time in Beijing. You want me to stay inside?"
Still feeling uneasy, she endured the soreness all over her body, put on her clothes, and overcame her weak legs to walk to the bathroom.
Xia Yan smiled gently, her eyes softening with tenderness.
Watching the girl's retreating figure as she entered the bathroom, I thought about my past life.
Having everything, and after too many boring days, I always want to find something new.
Extreme sports and gory scenes on screen—anything that stimulates the senses is the top choice for the rich second generation.
But after playing it a lot and getting used to it, it becomes rather uninteresting.
I feel empty every morning when I wake up, not knowing what to do, and my body and mind are filled with a sense of decadence and weariness after my desires have been satisfied.
So, the moment Jiang You appeared, even though Xia Yan felt something was extremely wrong, he was determined to hold on to her tightly if she could pull him out of his uneventful life.
The longer I spend with her, the more I can't live without her.
He was captivated by the heartbeat that made him swoon over her, obsessed with her body, and indulging in the novelty of doing things for her that he would never normally do.
I have never experienced any of this before.
He can no longer live a life as bland and uneventful as plain water, or he will go crazy and die.
No one can take Jiang You away from him, no one can, including herself.
Jiang You took a longer shower in the bathroom and noticed that the fruity scent on Xia Yan's body wasn't perfume, but the smell of the shower gel.
Now she smells of fruit, which is so pleasant. It's light and refreshing, with a hint of medicine, which makes me feel happy and relaxed.
Jiang You glanced at the brand, put it down, put on his clothes, and went outside.
Xia Yan lay on the bed with his head down, his upper body covered in scratches. He seemed lost in thought, his hand casually resting on his leg. The light and shadow shifted, revealing only his extremely indifferent profile.
"Xia Yan?"
The man moved, looked at her, and quickly, his unusually cold eyes turned extremely deep.
Before she could speak, Xia Yan got out of bed and rushed over at lightning speed. In her terrified eyes, he cupped her face in his hands and bent down.
This kiss was urgent and intense, as if he wanted to devour her whole.
In the bathroom, Xia Yan was taking a shower, while Jiang You sat blankly on the bed outside.
Just now, after Xia Yan finished kissing her, he held her tightly around the waist, as if stimulated, and whispered in her ear like a madman, "Youyou, don't try to leave me, never, never..."
She looked insecure, as if she were being watched by a large, starving wild beast in winter, and she couldn't stop being afraid.
Jiang You collapsed backward, his arms outstretched on the bed.
She really didn't expect Xia Yan to be so possessive of her.
How can we break up peacefully?
Why did she soften her heart and agree to take care of Song Wenxi's brother in the first place? If she hadn't, she wouldn't be so worried.
Or should we go back to school and return the money to Song Wenxi so she can take Song Yun back?
Or go back to school and break up with Xia Yan directly on your phone, so that the Song family can protect her?
Tsk, let's not even talk about whether the Song family has the ability to go up against the Xia family. Even if they did, it would be like gods fighting, and she, the cannon fodder, would still suffer.
"Hiss," Jiang said helplessly as she rubbed her forehead. She stood up after a moment of stunned silence.
I cried for too long before, and my throat is a bit dry and hoarse, so I'll go out and find some water to drink first.
Unaware that there was water in the room, she glanced at the closed bathroom door and called out, "Xia Yan, I'm going to get some water."
She opened the door and went to the refrigerator on the first floor to get some water.
This villa is quite unique. After leaving the room, Jiang You turned left and right before finding the staircase, went down to the first floor, and walked through a corridor.
Just then, a door next to the corridor suddenly opened, and a milky white mist, mixed with a faint fragrance, billowed out.
"Sister-in-law?" Lu Shi'an looked visibly surprised when he saw the girl outside the door. He casually draped the towel he was using to dry himself over his shoulder, his brown eyes as bright as stars in the night sky, staring intently into her eyes: "What are you doing here?"
He was wearing a simple white T-shirt and loose black casual pants that reached his knees.
Her thick, black hair was slightly damp at the ends, like milky white skin steaming in the heat. Her lips were red and her teeth were white, clean and refreshing, pure and refined.
Lu Shi'an evokes the feeling of a typical summer afternoon in childhood, with soda, cicadas chirping, and the handsome older brother next door.
"I'm coming down to get some water," Jiang You said quickly, no one to be trifled with, as he strode past the boy.
Lu Shi'an's pupils followed the girl's movements, seeing that she had her hair casually tied in a low bun, with wisps of hair sticking to the back of her neck, that patch of white standing out conspicuously against her black hair.
His eyes glazed over for a moment, he licked his lips, reached out and grabbed the girl's arm, pulling her into the bathroom.
The door slammed shut with a bang, the sound of metal clanging and the door locking.
Jiang You exclaimed in surprise. Lu Shi'an picked her up and made her sit on the edge of the washbasin.
"Jiang You, I couldn't sleep last night because I was thinking about you, so I took a cold shower, but then I was afraid of catching a cold and not being able to play with you tomorrow, so I took a hot bath..."
Her face flushed red, and her eyes widened: "Lu Shi'an, what's wrong with you?"
Worried that Xia Yan would hear, he kept his voice extremely low.
