Chapter 70 Wanting to escape, but unable to move.
Night fell silently.
Considering that Tan Zhaojing needed to work, Lin Zaoyi gave up her desk and instead of going to the living room, brought over a beanbag chair and leaned against him.
After taking a shower, Tan Zhaojing changed into a light-colored loungewear. Her hair was half-dry and hung loosely over her forehead. Gone was the seriousness of the day, making people want to get close to her.
Thinking it over, she did just that, rubbing her head against his leg, but he, oblivious to her feelings, said, "Why are you acting like a dog?"
"...You're the dog."
You bastard.
He touched the top of her head and gently rubbed her head with his palm. "You misspoke."
She looked up at him intently, "Then how should it be described?"
After a moment of silence, he chuckled softly, "My adorable baby?"
"..."
Did it have to be this sudden...?
His heart began to throb subtly because of a casual remark he made.
She pursed her lips. "How many people have you said that to?"
I got a flick on the forehead. "How many did you name?"
She retorted, "At your age, you must have at least seven or eight."
Tan Zhaojing glanced at her, "Don't you get itchy if you don't provoke me for a day?"
Lin Zaoyi snorted twice and pushed him away, saying, "Get away from me, don't disturb my progress."
Tan Zhaojing: "..."
After that, only time flowed slowly in the study. After the long hand had turned a full circle, Lin Zaoyi got tired of reading and rubbed her slightly stiff neck. "Brother Zhaojing, can I watch an episode of an anime?"
"See?"
Playfulness replaced tranquility. The man sitting in front of the computer showed no dissatisfaction. Occasionally, he would glance at the girl, his eyes filled with unconscious doting affection.
Lin Zaoyi only relaxed for half an hour before continuing to read.
Another hour of silence followed.
At ten o'clock, Tan Zhaojing finally looked away from the screen. She must have encountered something she didn't know how to do. The girl's brows were furrowed, and she lifted her up and put her on her lap. "Which one don't you know how to do?"
Lin Zaoyi pointed to a case study question.
Tan Zhaojing looked over and said, "It's not difficult, but this question covers private equity funds, which is not a traditional field. It requires a lot of reasoning to determine its feasibility."
For the next ten minutes or so, he analyzed each point one by one. Lin Zaoyi listened attentively, but also had a headache. She slammed her head against his chest and said, "Having a good teacher is really important."
Tan Zhaojing continued, "Wouldn't you like to have a good teacher with you every day?"
The girl wasn't fooled. "At most, I'll let you stay tonight."
She tried to get up by pushing his arm away, but he pulled her back. "Where's the tuition fee?"
Lin Zaoyi: "...How much?"
The man said, "A kiss every minute, not expensive, right?"
She refused to sell her body, saying, "I'll pay you."
"Are you sure?" Tan Zhaojing glanced at her with a half-smile. "My income is calculated in seconds. Think it over."
Lin Zaoyi had clearly lost his earlier decisiveness. After hesitating for those two seconds, he raised his chin and asked, "You want me to force you?"
Strong... it's easy to go astray.
I held his shoulder and lightly pressed my hand against it.
A voice, tinged with dissatisfaction, came from beside me: "Could you be any more perfunctory?"
Then forget it.
She had just created some distance when her wrist was grabbed, and the next second, she was lifted into the air.
Her foot moved unconsciously, her toes brushing against his thigh, firm and tight.
She pressed her body into the center of the bed, trying to sit up, but he was faster, forcefully supporting the back of her head and kneeling beside her to kiss her.
She was only wearing a nightgown, which she quickly removed, allowing her to feel herself without any hindrance.
Lin Zaoyi knew exactly what was going to happen next, but she couldn't. While she was still somewhat lucid, she nudged him, "No, it's too fast..."
The humid heat moved closer to her ear, "It's already more than four months late."
"It's different, that was an accident..."
"And now?" Tan Zhaojing stood up slightly and looked at her. When their eyes met, his gaze was calm, but desire reached deep into his eyes.
Now...
She looked at him dreamily, "Love between two people..."
Just as the last two words were about to come out, he immediately came to his senses and said, "I'm not happy. You're being domineering and unreasonable on your own."
He chuckled softly, "Since you've said that, I have to keep my word."
You can't—
The rest of the words were left unsaid, lingering on the lips and teeth.
A surge of emotion.
Lin Zaoyi wanted to speak, but her breath was always taken away from her.
No, no, that won't do.
"No...no, that..."
Finally, his reason, which had been controlled by desire, was pulled back. Tan Zhaojing let out a deep breath, his voice low and hoarse, "Go to sleep early."
The door closed, and Lin Zaoyi felt dizzy for a while before the fever subsided.
I think I'm having trouble sleeping. I stared at the night sky for a while but still couldn't fall asleep.
So, she quietly got out of bed, went barefoot out of the room, and found the door to the second bedroom open. She tiptoed to the bedside to see if he was asleep. As soon as she stood still, her wrist was grabbed and pulled down. With the force of gravity, she fell to the side of him.
The man's lips brushed against her forehead. "Sleep with me."
This is not a question.
She mumbled softly, "Then you're not allowed to touch it."
"Then touch me."
Without thinking, she blurted out, "Touch where?"
"Anywhere is fine."
"......"
Only he could say something so shameless and so naturally.
"don't want."
Tan Zhaojing held her hand tightly against his abdomen, "It's okay, I'm very generous."
Feeling a burning sensation in her ear, Lin Zaoyi unconsciously bit her lip. Just as she made that movement, he pulled her lip away, saying, "You can bite me too."
He breathed close to his nose, "Wouldn't you like to have this treatment every night?"
She tried her best not to be seduced and said, "I'm not interested."
In order not to be at a disadvantage, they attacked his age, saying, "Everyone says that 25 is a turning point, and that's absolutely true."
He clicked his tongue twice in feigned disgust, "Her figure is starting to decline."
The effect was good, and after saying this, he fell silent.
About five seconds later, a soft, emotionless laugh reached my ears, "Looks like you want to give it a try."
In the dim light, she opened her eyes, instinctively becoming wary, but it was no use; she was completely trapped in his arms. "What do you want to do—hey, Tan Zhaojing—"
The kiss came down, giving her no chance to dodge.
The aura was strong and intense.
She struggled, but to no avail.
Everything is in chaos.
Thankfully, reason pulled him back from the brink of madness. She was frightened and trembling, helplessly burying her head in his shoulder, admitting her mistake and apologizing, "I was wrong... You'll be strong and healthy even at eighty..."
He seemed to chuckle, but it sounded somewhat muffled. "You might have to work a bit harder."
She raised her head in confusion, and in the darkness, desire surged in the man's calm, dark eyes.
She blinked slowly, her reaction slow. "What?"
My hand was gripped.
"???"
"....."
"!!!"
She wanted to escape, but she couldn't move.
