Chapter 106 Kiss [VIP]
Chapter Summary: It was a kiss filled with overwhelming passion.
Gu Linzhao chuckled softly.
His gaze was still on her, but his eyes seemed to be lowered even more.
For some reason, Fu Xianyin pursed her lips.
Gu Linzhao's gaze was so direct it was almost frank, and Fu Xianyin felt that her despicable heart had nowhere to hide under such a gaze.
She instinctively wanted to escape; her mind had already partially swayed her, but for some reason, a sense of resentment arose within her.
The unwillingness is like a seedling breaking through the soil, not strong, not even green, and still with a hint of yellow from the tender buds.
But it had already taken root in the barren, arid soil, its roots stretching far and wide.
Some decisions or choices really happen in a split second.
It is a fleeting moment.
Like the first melting snowflake, the instant a clear drop of water falls; like the first tender sprout pushing through the soil, the instant it emerges as a fragile little point.
Fu Xianyin is not someone who regrets the past.
She never regretted leaving Beichuan or dating Gu Linzhao back then.
But now, she feels that if she doesn't do something, she will definitely regret it later.
There was no future between them; this was a fact that Fu Xianyin had known for six years.
But what if it's not about securing a future?
Just now, just this moment.
It was just for a fleeting moment.
Her breath swirled in Fu Xianyin's chest as she looked up at Gu Linzhao.
The sky was gradually darkening.
The light shining into the corridor gradually diminished, leaving only a few rays of dim, slanting sunlight filtering through the front window.
The setting sun stretched and extended along the corridor, but it could never reach their feet.
Ahead lay a warm, inviting light, while the area where she reached out remained shrouded in darkness.
Fu Xianyin couldn't help but take a step toward the light.
Fu Xianyin's shoe tip touched Gu Linzhao's, and she could even feel his breath on her.
He didn't back down, and neither did she.
The distance between the two did not increase, but rather grew closer and closer, until Fu Xianyin gradually felt her fingertips touch Gu Linzhao's hand hanging by his side.
Her hand moved slightly.
Her fingertips unconsciously brushed against Gu Linzhao's fingers, but quickly returned to their previous position. It was just a light touch, yet it inexplicably gave her the illusion that she wanted to hook his fingers.
Fu Xianyin saw his Adam's apple bob.
The next second, my icy fingertips were enveloped in warmth.
Gu Linzhao flipped his hand over, enveloping most of her hand in his palm.
It doesn't grip tightly, but rather wraps loosely around it, as if it's just resting on top of it.
Fu Xianyin suddenly opened her mouth and asked, "How did you get in?"
Gu Linzhao said, "I've been here many times."
"At first, he looked like a student, so the security guards didn't stop him. But later, he didn't look like a student anymore, so we came up with another way."
"What method?"
Fu Xianyin asked in a soft voice.
Gu Linzhao let out a laugh, and looked at Fu Xianyin with a long, drawn-out gaze.
He said, "Throw money at it."
"We donated to them, replaced a batch of desks and chairs, and installed air conditioners in the classrooms. We kept doing this, one donation after another."
Fu Xianyin was caught off guard and felt a pang in her heart. She said with amusement, "You donated so much money to No. 13 Middle School. People who didn't know better would think you studied at No. 13 Middle School."
Gu Linzhao raised an eyebrow and said, "How do you know I didn't donate to No. 1 Middle School?"
His palms had slightly rough calluses, which he rubbed against the back of Fu Xianyin's hand, while his thumbs rubbed back and forth between Fu Xianyin's thumb and index finger.
He said:
"I've been wondering whether you've ever been here before."
"I always felt that if you had been here before, and if I had come a little earlier, would I have been able to wait for you?"
Fu Xianyin said in a hoarse voice, "But I've never been here."
Never.
After parting ways with Gu Linzhao that night, she flew directly to Beijing.
Then, we were separated for six years.
Gu Linzhao said, "Yes, but you've never been here before."
"Fu Xianyin, you never gave me even the slightest chance."
Fu Xianyin's breath hitched slightly.
Her heart was pounding in her chest. Fu Xianyin bit down hard on a piece of soft flesh in her mouth until she tasted blood.
It seemed that time had passed and the intense emotions of the past had dissipated. Gu Linzhao looked down at her and could even say with a hint of a smile, "You're quite ruthless, Fu Xianyin."
He said she was heartless.
How could she not know?
She left without a word during the height of her love, abandoning everything, and stayed away for six years.
One minute she was talking to him about their future, the next she was planning to leave.
even.
"They didn't even say goodbye."
Every word struck Fu Xianyin's heart. She spoke in a trembling voice, so low that it was almost inaudible, almost like she was talking to herself.
She said:
"If I hadn't left then, I wouldn't have been able to leave."
Her heart wasn't actually that cruel.
Or rather, being loved by someone like Gu Linzhao at that time, no one could completely harden their heart, abandon everything, and leave without looking back.
That was her only chance.
As with everything before, Fu Xianyin will not, and never will, get a second chance.
If she doesn't leave, and she and Gu Linzhao continue to be entangled like this, what will she do when the truth can no longer be hidden?
She had no choice.
The corridor became even darker.
Or rather, it went almost completely dark.
Their faces were almost completely shrouded in shadow, and Fu Xianyin could not see his face or his movements clearly.
Suddenly, a hand cupped her chin.
He gently brushed his fingertips against her lips.
It felt like a light, gentle kiss.
A tingling sensation ran across her lips, and Fu Xianyin vaguely saw that his fingertips had rubbed a little bit of her lipstick on them.
She opened her mouth and gently bit his hand with her teeth.
"hiss"
Gu Linzhao took a breath and laughed, "Why change it to a puppy?"
The words were blocked.
Fu Xianyin grabbed his collar and, abruptly and without warning, pressed her lips against his.
It was a kiss that ended in an instant.
It couldn't even be called a kiss; it was more of a light touch.
Fu Xianyin only touched him lightly before pulling away, but her fingers still gripped Gu Linzhao's collar, her breathing slightly unsteady.
"I……"
It seems as if they want to explain, or perhaps to reveal something.
But none of that matters anymore.
The next second, Gu Linzhao's hand, which had been on her side, suddenly moved back. He ran his fingers through her hair, held the back of her head, and leaned down to kiss her lips.
It wasn't a quick touch and separation, nor was it a simple matter of lips touching.
It was a kiss filled with overwhelming passion.
Gu Linzhao's kiss was not fierce, nor was it reckless or impulsive; rather, it was gentle, yet persistent and lingering.
The hand that was holding the back of her head gradually slid down and wrapped around her waist.
A tingling sensation came from his lower back, and Fu Xianyin accidentally bit him.
This time it wasn't too hard, but it seemed to have bitten his lower lip. Gu Linzhao gasped and laughed, "What, have you really become a puppy?"
Fu Xianyin was slightly out of breath from the kiss. At this point, her mind was overwhelmed by the intense emotions, and her actions began to become unrestrained.
She leaned against Gu Linzhao, panting, her whole body pressed against him, her weight resting on him.
His hand rested firmly on her lower back, holding her close.
Her lips were glistening, a stark reminder of the absurdity that had just transpired.
Fu Xianyin tried to look away, but before she could turn her head, Gu Linzhao cupped her cheeks.
He said, "Fu Xianyin, look up."
It was almost like forcing her.
Fu Xianyin still wouldn't go along with him.
She lowered her eyes, her gaze fixed on the tips of her shoes.
Suddenly, her lips were touched again.
He bent over, his voice almost swallowed by the kiss, yet it still reached Fu Xianyin's ears clearly.
He said, "Look up at me."
He gently kissed her lips again and again, and Fu Xianyin felt her waist go weak.
She tried to catch her breath, which was already in disarray, and when she looked up, her eyes were glistening with tears.
That's strange.
Even though the corridor was completely dark, she could still clearly see her reflection in Gu Linzhao's eyes.
He spoke, his voice soft, his tone still carrying a hint of the lingering tenderness of their kiss.
He said, "Fu Xianyin, all these years, it's not like I don't want anything."
"But it's not like I can get everything I want just by asking for it."
Fu Xianyin remained silent, and could only look at him until the light but not heavy restraint on her chin disappeared, only then was she finally able to look away.
The classroom was dimly lit, making it almost impossible to see any words on the wall.
Except for that blatantly obvious sign prohibiting dating.
The bold red text seemed to be imprinted on her head, and Fu Xianyin couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Gu Linzhao asked her, "What are you laughing at?"
Fu Xianyin reached out and poked at the glass, her fingertip pointing precisely at the sign inside the classroom.
She whispered, "Outrageous."
Gu Linzhao said, "What kind of way is this?"
Fu Xianyin paused for a moment, pretending not to have heard those words.
The notice only says "no dating," not "no kissing."
Their current relationship can hardly be considered a romantic one.
By the time I left the school, it was completely dark.
Gu Linzhao took her out for a New Year's Eve dinner.
Along with the food, a small cake was also served.
The cake had "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" written on it in chocolate, clearly defining its purpose.
Gu Linzhao lit the candles for her with a lighter. The candlelight flickered on the cake. Fu Xianyin looked at the cake for a long time before finally blowing out the candles.
The moment the flames went out, Gu Linzhao asked, "You didn't even close your eyes, did you make a wish?"
Fu Xianyin gave a slight smile and said, "It's a promise."
Gu Linzhao then asked, "Have any of the wishes you made before come true?"
Fu Xianyin said, "Yes."
When I was a child, I always wished that Chen Huimei and Fu Dongyuan could reconcile.
As I grew older, I realized that these two people were destined to torment each other in this almost irreconcilable way for the rest of their lives, and my wish changed from "I hope my parents can make up" to "I hope we can have a better life."
Later on, Fu Xianyin actually stopped making wishes as much.
There's nothing that can be achieved by making a wish. She can get high scores on her exams and achieve results in her experiments. Everything she can do is what she can do. As for things she can't do, Fu Xianyin rarely has any extra desires.
Come to think of it, the only wish that came true was the eighteenth birthday celebration Gu Linzhao gave her during her senior year of high school.
Not only was it achieved, but it was achieved on the spot.
The candles were removed, and Gu Linzhao cut her a piece of cake. Fu Xianyin scooped up a piece with a spoon and ate it. The cream was fragrant, not greasy or too sweet, and quite delicious.
The meal was eaten in complete silence, without a trace of the festive spirit of the New Year.
The restaurant was filled with red, and Fu Xianyin was almost blinded by the red. Looking at the sea of red, she suddenly wondered what excuse Gu Linzhao had used to sneak out and spend the New Year with her on a day that should have been a time for family reunion.
She opened her mouth, but ultimately didn't ask.
After dinner, Gu Linzhao didn't take her home directly. Instead, he drove aimlessly around Beichuan.
It wasn't until after midnight, when fireworks exploded overhead, that Gu Linzhao drove her back to the hotel.
Fu Xianyin said, "Just drop me off at the door."
Gu Linzhao didn't insist on sending her inside; he nodded and stopped at the door.
Fu Xianyin opened the car door, and with one foot already out, she suddenly heard Gu Linzhao say behind her:
Lin Anxu said that you will also be going on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year.
Fu Xianyin nodded.
Gu Linzhao asked, "What are the plans for the next few days?"
Fu Xianyin shook her head.
The next second, Gu Linzhao spoke, his tone lazy, as if he were just chatting casually.
But the words she uttered made her almost instantly stop her blood from flowing.
He said:
"How about we go back to Linlan together on the third or fourth day of the Lunar New Year?"
[Author's Note]
Adolescence is so different from adulthood. As a teenager, you're so shy and nervous that you wouldn't even dare to hold hands, and a kiss would be just a light touch on the lips, which would make you incredibly embarrassed. After a kiss, you automatically assume a relationship, since you feel that if you've done something so intimate, you must be in a romantic relationship.
Now that they're adults, they've kissed so passionately they can't bear to part, but they're still not in a romantic relationship.
Yinyin is still conflicted and torn in her heart, but she has already taken the first step in her actions.
After all, we're adults now, so let's be bolder in our actions~ (just kidding)
