Chapter 37 Apartment Shura Field: The Seventeenth Day of Sleeping with Someone.
The sudden drop in temperature at night, coupled with the icy chill emanating from Ji Ye's cold fingers, sent another shiver down Xie Ruan's spine.
The bathroom was already damp, and in the cramped space, Xie Ruan even felt that her own breath, mixed with water vapor, was forming a slightly rising mist.
Unfortunately, the situation happened so suddenly that Xie Ruan was unable to think straight.
He could only stare blankly at Ji Ye, watching as Ji Ye forcefully forced him into the mirror.
Xie Ruan's slender back was pressed against the fragile mirror, which seemed on the verge of shattering at any moment.
Xie Ruan, afraid of breaking the mirror, held her breath and her breathing became shallower and shallower.
Xie Ruan never expected that Ji Ye would approach her step by step as if he hadn't seen her at all, forcing Xie Ruan's beautiful back to make a slight rubbing sound through her already thin skin.
The rustling sound rubbed against my eardrums.
It's a little itchy.
Xie Ruan was slightly out of breath.
Ji Ye's fingers then pinched his chin. "You've really never been kissed?"
Ji Ye's gaze was sharp, yet undetectable, as he inquired about the meaning of his words.
But seeing Xie Ruan becoming increasingly docile and submissive, he shook his head frantically, proclaiming his innocence.
Ji Ye leaned slightly closer to Xie Ruan.
Ji Ye's hands were cold, but the dangerous distance between them made Xie Ruan feel hot.
Ji Ye's hot breath, when it came close and sprayed onto Xie Ruan's neck, caused Xie Ruan to tremble.
Xie Ruan thought the room was too dark and Ji Ye hadn't seen her shaking her head, so she quickly shook her head frantically and stammered, "No, no."
Xie Ruan's voice grew weaker and weaker.
What exactly is Ji Ye up to?
Xie Ruan was placed on the sink.
The sink here is too high. Xie Ruan, a boy, can't even reach the ground with his legs on the sink. His feet are dangling in the air, his round, white toes hooking around the slippers that are about to fall off, and curling up slightly.
Xie Ruan didn't dare to look up; he felt Ji Ye's gaze fixed on him.
Xie Ruan seemed to hear Ji Ye's subtle, mischievous teasing: "Nothing? Explain yourself. Xie Ruan."
How much clearer do you want it to be?!
Ji Ye, is it that you have hearing problems?!
Xie Ruan bit her thin lips tightly, looked up suddenly, and met Ji Ye's gaze, causing her cheeks to flush red.
Xie Ruan was never good at socializing, and Ji Ye's gaze was particularly cold, his dark and wolf-like eyes making him feel uncomfortable all over. He felt as if a chilling breeze was silently creeping over him like vines, causing him to tremble and feel an increasing unease.
Xie Ruan bit his thin, rosy lips again. His lips, slightly moist from being licked, were an alluring rose-red, yet he was completely unaware of it: "No... I haven't been kissed."
Xie Ruan wanted to escape.
Ji Ye, a grown man, was asked if he had ever been kissed or sexually assaulted.
Xie Ruan blushed and wanted to escape.
Upon hearing that he had never been kissed, Ji Ye seemed even more excited, and he bent over and pressed down on him.
Xie Ruan's mind went completely blank.
Ji Ye's sandalwood scent seemed to cover him completely, making Xie Ruan feel as if she herself was turning into sandalwood. "You, what's wrong... Is, are you feeling unwell somewhere?"
Xie Ruan curled her trembling fingers in panic.
Ji Ye's warm breath pressed down on him as he possessed the body.
Xie Ruan could barely breathe.
Ji Ye, however, seemed to be suppressing something as he moved closer to Xie Ruan.
Xie Ruan seemed to hear overlapping heartbeats.
Only one of them had an unusually strong heartbeat.
But they were too close together.
Xie Ruan wasn't even sure if the accelerated heartbeat was his or Ji Ye's.
Xie Ruan tried his best to hold his breath, hoping that by doing so, Ji Ye would let him go.
Unexpectedly, Ji Ye did not let him go.
instead……
Getting closer and closer...
His lips drew near...
Wait! !
Wait a moment! ! !
Although Xie Ruan seems to like boys.
But Xie Ruan doesn't like Ji Ye!
How could I let someone else kiss me before the guy I like even shows up?!
Xie Ruan was completely stunned. He tried to struggle, but Ji Ye was too strong and pressed him down, leaving him with no ability to move at all.
Ji Ye is getting closer and closer.
Xie Ruan's social skills were already weak, and they became even weaker when people got close to her.
Xie Ruan even forgot to resist.
Ji Ye is about to kiss me!!
Xie Ruan shrank her neck in her haste.
To everyone's surprise, Ji Ye, whose night vision was exceptional, smiled slightly and teased, "Are you shy?"
Ji Ye noticed Xie Ruan's bright red ear tips.
I thought he was shyly avoiding me.
Xie Ruan naturally knew that Ji Ye's charm in this world was probably that he could be loved by everyone just because of his face.
However, Xie Ruan is not included.
He's not shy at all!!!
Xie Ruan was so busy trying to avoid it that he wished he could quickly find a place to hide.
Unexpectedly, Ji Ye only thought that Xie Ruan was shy and wanted to find a place to hide.
Ji Ye pinched Xie Ruan's chin once again.
Xie Ruan couldn't escape again: "..."
Xie Ruan swallowed hard.
Ji Ye's gaze was fixed on his eyes, and there was a hint of gentleness in it that was not usually there.
Unfortunately, Xie Ruan didn't see it at all.
He just felt that Ji Ye was terrifying.
Xie Ruan subconsciously waved her fair arm.
Ji Ye grabbed his arm once again.
I'm going to die.
Xie Ruan thought to herself: Is this really the real Ji Ye?
Didn't they say that the main characters all hate physical contact with people? Why are they hugging and touching him all the time, and even saying things like... kiss, kiss or not?
Xie Ruan's face turned almost red when she heard these words.
Xie Ruan's toes curled up.
But then Ji Ye leaned close to his lips once again.
I'm going to die.
He doesn't want it.
Xie Ruan tried hard to turn her head away.
But Ji Ye got closer and closer.
Waaaaah.
Xie Ruan was almost in tears.
Is my first kiss going to be taken away?!
Xie Ruan didn't want to give it to Ji Ye.
Xie Ruan was full of resistance, but he didn't know that in Ji Ye's eyes, this was all... feigned modesty.
Ji Ye even noticed Xie Ruan's reddened ear tips and assumed that Xie Ruan liked him.
Ji Ye suddenly moved closer.
Then, while Xie Ruan was still trying to escape, they suddenly changed direction, catching Xie Ruan off guard.
She gently leaned down and bit Xie Ruan's earlobe.
"..." Ji Ye bit Xie Ruan's earlobe. The movement wasn't forceful, but it still made Xie Ruan tremble even more.
QAQ!
Is this what it means to be close?
He felt as if Ji Ye was using his teeth.
Waaaaah.
The feeling of being suddenly touched by something hard is not pleasant.
Xie Ruan gazed at Shu Leng's shoulders and neck.
Ji Ye, however, possessed him, biting him and refusing to let go.
Xie Ruan was wrong.
He used to think that Zhou Jingchi was born in the Year of the Dog.
Looking at it now...
Ji Ye is probably born in the Year of the Dog!
Waaaaah.
Xie Ruan's tears fell in a steady stream. His eyelashes, glistening with water droplets, trembled, making his already slender figure appear even more pitiful.
Unfortunately, Ji Ye is someone who doesn't know how to cherish women.
Ji Ye felt his shoulders and neck being wet by the little beauty in his arms, and was only slightly taken aback.
Then, as if some excited cell had been ignited, she lifted Xie Ruan's chin and said, "You're so aggrieved because you weren't kissed by me?"
Xie Ruan: "...@%！@￥？！@" She felt so wronged.
However, Xie Ruan's grievance wasn't that he wasn't kissed, but rather—he was bitten by a dog, sob sob sob.
Xie Ruan originally intended to endure it.
After all, Xie Ruan remembered that the original owner of this body had offended Wen Hezhou, causing others to also hold prejudices against him. Xie Ruan couldn't afford to offend any of them. He was afraid that if he made any move, it would significantly alter the original storyline, potentially leading to even more serious consequences that he couldn't bear, even if the original plot was avoided. Xie Ruan dared not take on such a possibility.
But!! Ji Ye is a terrible person.
He gave up too.
Ji Ye was really too much. He kept bullying him and wouldn't let him go even when he tried to struggle.
Xie Ruan's eyes reddened again with grievance. She struggled for a long time but couldn't break free, and her wrist was even reddened from Ji Ye's strong grip.
Xie Ruan couldn't hold back and kicked Ji Ye.
Little did they expect that Ji Ye was not as easily fooled as Zhou Jingchi.
Ji Ye seemed to be naturally wary of him, easily dodging his kick.
Not only that, Xie Ruan also suffered a double loss. Not only was she not kicked, but her slender ankle was also grabbed by the man.
Waaaaah.
Xie Ruan tried to pull her leg back.
But the man didn't give him that chance at all. Instead, he used all his strength to hoist Xie Ruan onto his shoulder once again.
QAQ!
Xie Ruan didn't like this posture.
His legs struggled frantically.
Ji Ye, however, still showed no intention of letting him off the hook.
You bastard!
You big bad guy!!
Ji Ye is the worst villain in the whole book!!!
Xie Ruan was terrified.
Given the vast difference in their physical strength, he had no idea what the man might do to him.
Xie Ruan's legs suddenly started moving wildly.
Before Xie Ruan could struggle for long, Ji Ye produced a rope from somewhere and tied up his legs as he struggled wildly.
QAQ.
Xie Ruan: He wants to be Ji Ye's mortal enemy.
"Thump." Xie Ruan was suddenly thrown onto the fluffy quilt.
Waaaaah.
Xie Ruan's eyes reddened even more.
Xie Ruan added in his mind: A gentleman takes revenge even after ten years.
Xie Ruan was about to cry: ...if he could survive tonight.
Xie Ruan couldn't move, so he instinctively moved closer to the head of the bed.
Xie Ruan smelled very nice, with a faint cedar scent.
Just by getting close, Ji Ye inexplicably felt that Xie Ruan was like a walking soothing balm, suppressing all the repression in his heart and the long-term insomnia and heart rhythm disorder.
Ji Ye originally did not plan to come to see Xie Ruan.
However, he tried having his assistant search all over the country for cedar perfumes, but none of them smelled similar to Xie Ruan's.
Naturally, none of them could help Ji Ye fall asleep.
It was around that time.
Ji Ye realized that Xie Ruan was the only solution to his insomnia.
At first, Ji Ye couldn't bring himself to approach Xie Ruan.
Until Xie Ruan could no longer reply to his messages...
My heart is becoming increasingly agitated.
It made him even turn down work.
That's when the idea came to him: he had to find Xie Ruan in Yungang City.
But Xie Ruan is a heartless person.
He called out "brother" to one after another.
He wasn't there.
Ji Ye inexplicably felt a strange emotion surging within him.
Ji Ye didn't know what this feeling was.
But for some reason, he felt that Xie Ruan's thin lips were very moist and beautiful.
I think Xie Ruan's face is very small, only the size of a palm.
feel……
Xie Ruan... is very well-behaved.
Ears look especially beautiful when they turn red.
He wanted to tease him because he was good-looking.
After teasing him, he realized that he had been too shallow in his previous understanding of Xie Ruan's story, having only heard Wen Hezhou's one-sided account.
Xie Ruan is not the scheming man Wen Hezhou described at all.
instead……
She's kind of well-behaved.
A little bit greedy.
But is it a bad thing for Xie Ruan to be a little greedy?
He's not short of money.
As long as he gives a lot, that's fine.
Ji Ye's lips curled slightly as he watched Xie Ruan's body tremble slightly. Using a voice only the two of them could understand, and imbued with his breath, he leaned closer to Xie Ruan, probing her relationships with other men and her bottom line regarding money: "Xie Ruan, have you slept with them?"
Xie Ruan looked at Ji Ye blankly, as if she hadn't heard what Ji Ye said clearly.
Until Ji Ye asked slowly and deliberately, "Did they ask you to sleep with them?"
Xie Ruan froze on the spot: "...?"
For Xie Ruan, who hadn't interacted with people for so long, this was a topic she would almost never be asked.
However, this very private topic was brought up by Ji Ye, who has no interest in anyone else in the industry!
Having read countless novels, Xie Ruan almost subconsciously realized what Ji Ye meant by "sleeping with someone."
Xie Ruan's cheeks flushed completely, like a boiling kettle, and only one thing was on her mind—
Ji Ye.
What is he saying?!
How could he possibly do such a thing?
Xie Ruan instinctively struggled, but Ji Ye held her wrist with one hand, making it almost impossible for her to break free.
But Ji Ye showed no intention of letting him off the hook: "Zhou Jingchi?"
Xie Ruan shook her head frantically.
He and Zhou Jingchi have a genuine brotherly relationship!!!
There wasn't a single bed!! Where have we slept?!
Ji Ye's lips curled up slightly, seemingly quite satisfied with Xie Ruan's answer: "Wen Hezhou."
Upon hearing Ji Ye's second question, Xie Ruan's eyes widened in shock. He dared not provoke the villain. Everyone knew that Wen Hezhou, seemingly gentle, was actually a ruthless character. Xie Ruan trembled; he didn't want to be devoured by Wen Hezhou, leaving not even bones behind.
Xie Ruan shook her head frantically.
Just when everyone thought Ji Ye had said enough, his questions became increasingly absurd: "Then, what about Pei Zhi? Did you sleep with him?"
Xie Ruan: ...
Xie Ruan felt like she was dying.
Ji Ye was still asking, "Then, what about A-Kai?"
Xie Ruan's cheeks flushed red: What kind of person does Ji Ye take him for?! Can someone who's only met him once really sleep with him?!
Xie Ruan is definitely not straight.
But he's not the kind of bad man who's promiscuous!
Xie Ruan has never been in a relationship before!
He hasn't even had his first kiss yet!!!
Xie Ruanming is clearly angry.
Her cheeks and the tip of her nose became increasingly red.
Xie Ruan was too busy being angry to notice Ji Ye teasing her. Seeing Xie Ruan's face turning even redder, Ji Ye's smile deepened. "Then, what about A Fei?"
Xie Ruan looked at him with her wet eyes.
Her aggrieved look almost inadvertently stirred Ji Ye's heart.
All that remained was Ji Ye's gentleness, and the awkward gesture of reaching out to touch Xie Ruan's hair, "Good girl."
Xie Ruan looked blankly at Ji Ye, who had suddenly become gentle.
But then Ji Ye reached out and unbuttoned his shirt.
One.
Two.
etc.
Why is Ji Ye taking off his clothes?
Is this reasonable?
Xie Ruan froze completely.
Ji Ye's actions, however, did not stop.
Xie Ruan finally reacted, struggling violently: "What, what are you doing?!"
Xie Ruan suddenly realized she had sounded a bit fierce, and her sudden clash with Ji Ye's unfathomable expression made him instinctively show weakness: "Brother, brother..."
Xie Ruan, as always, asked softly, "Brother, why... are you unbuttoning my clothes?"
Ji Ye: "It's uncomfortable to sleep in your outer clothes."
Xie Ruan: "..."
What's the meaning?
Are we not letting him go back?
Xie Ruan's dark eyes swirled around their sockets.
Before he could react, he saw Ji Ye unbutton his third button again.
Xie Ruan's fair skin was suddenly exposed to the air.
It's getting a bit cold.
Xie Ruan was somewhat slender. The man's cold fingers brushed against his neck as he unbuttoned his shirt, causing Xie Ruan to shudder.
Xie Ruan: "...No, no need..."
Xie Ruan tentatively asked, "I'll go back to my room... go change, okay...?"
Xie Ruan softened her voice: "Brother works so hard, and you're his employer, how could I possibly trouble you?"
So, please untie him quickly, okay?
Xie Ruan looked at Ji Ye pleadingly.
But Ji Ye slowly and deliberately rested his chin on his hand, placing one hand on Xie Ruan's fourth button: "You can't leave now, Xie Ruan."
...?
What's the meaning.
Murder and arson.
To destroy the evidence?
QAQ?
It's a tonic.
Xie Ruan still has a few million yuan in savings in his account.
He hasn't spent it yet.
He didn't want to die.
Xie Ruan trembled, trying to lift his leg to run away, but his bound legs caused him to stumble and fall onto the soft blankets once again.
Xie Ruan couldn't see Ji Ye's expression from this angle, but he inexplicably felt that the air in the room was even more oppressive.
It's all over.
Xie Ruan's mind was filled with thoughts that Ji Ye was going to get angry.
Unexpectedly, Ji Ye's hand simply rested on him, then he teased him by turning him over and looking at him playfully: "Xie Ruan, do you know? They are not good people."
...
Xie Ruan: You don't seem like a good person either.
Seeing Xie Ruan's quiet demeanor, Ji Ye assumed he had taken some of the information to heart and continued, "They will all try to devour you, lay hands on you, and have ill intentions."
...
Xie Ruan: "..." Your touching and groping make your ill intentions even more obvious.
Ji Ye: "So, would you like to consider letting me protect you?"
Xie Ruan: "?" He seems to be a little interested in this.
Xie Ruan flashed by.
He truly has no powerful backers in this world.
If you had a powerful backer...?
Maybe this can prevent me from being bullied by others?
Xie Ruan was considering the feasibility of this matter.
Xie Ruan was still thinking when Ji Ye's so-called protection was: "From now on, I will come back every night, and you will sleep with me and I will protect you, okay? That way, they won't bother you when I'm here."
Xie Ruan looked at him blankly: "?"
What kind of protection?
Sleeping with someone.
Protect!
QAQ! Isn't this price too high?
He doesn't want to sleep with Ji Ye.
Xie Ruan was almost scared away.
Xie Ruan frantically moved toward the bedside.
But he was trapped, and it was very difficult for him.
Who would have thought he might actually get off the bed?
Once again, the man stopped her with one hand.
Xie Ruan: "..." QAQ, if he had known, he would have died in the apocalypse.
Xie Ruan was once again brought back by that unscrupulous man with one hand.
The difference was that Xie Ruan was completely embraced by Ji Ye this time.
The distance is too close.
Xie Ruan pressed against Ji Ye's chest.
Ji Ye: "Fifty thousand."
Xie Ruan: "..." What a joke! He makes 100,000 a month as a nanny.
Ji Ye: "One hundred thousand."
Xie Ruan: "..." What a joke! He could earn a legitimate 100,000 yuan as a nanny!!
Xie Ruan is a man of principle.
I would never sacrifice myself for something so trivial.
To everyone's surprise, Ji Ye waved his hand and said, "Two hundred thousand."
Xie Ruan: "...?"
Xie Ruan's eyes darted around.
Ji Ye looked at Xie Ruan's appearance and teased her with a light laugh: "Two hundred and one thousand."
Xie Ruan was somewhat tempted.
This isn't something that can't be discussed at all.
Xie Ruan raised her head, her wet eyes looking innocently at Ji Ye.
This is, after all, an income of over 210,000 yuan per month...?
If I could earn a little more.
Will he be able to achieve financial freedom soon and escape this hellhole?
if……
yes…
Serious matters...
Xie Ruan, clinging to a sliver of hope, gently clung to the man's arm with her soft, warm, and adorable fingers.
Ji Ye looked at him with great interest.
Xie Ruan tentatively asked, "Could I... just sleep with you, only sleep with you?"
Xie Ruan blinked.
There are so many people in this world.
Hiring a nanny is so pointless.
He has nothing.
Ji Ye should have remained chaste for the sake of the protagonist!
Xie Ruan looked at Ji Ye pitifully.
Ji Ye raised an eyebrow, signaling him to continue.
Xie Ruan looked at him pleadingly, "So... could we just... cover ourselves with the blanket..."
Xie Ruan snuggled into Ji Ye's arms: "Just like this... a simple sleep. Nothing else, nothing strange, nothing that's indescribable about the Little Green River, nothing that can happen below the neck, nothing. Just give me 210,000 a month, okay..."
Who would turn down money?
Even Ji Ye, he could call him "brother" against his will!
Xie Ruan blinked her eyelashes, which were still wet with tears, looking pitiful. Her small, fair face, no bigger than a palm, looked at Ji Ye with such a pitiful expression that no one could refuse her.
Even Ji Ye seemed amused, looking at Xie Ruan with a half-smile: "You're satisfied with 210,000 a month?"
Xie Ruan clearly didn't understand what Ji Ye meant. "? Then... two months is fine too..."
Ji Ye did not answer.
Xie Ruan was a little flustered: "Then...then...three months...four months..."
Xie Ruan tentatively looked at Ji Ye: "210,000 for six months is fine too..."
If it's just about sleeping...
Xie Ruan was still willing to earn this money.
Xie Ruan blinked her beautiful eyes and looked at Ji Ye pitifully.
To his surprise, Ji Ye chuckled and said, "Xie Ruan, it seems you know nothing about my strength."
Xie Ruan: "?"
Ji Ye: "I will neither give you 210,000 in one month, nor in two months, three months, four months, five months, or six months."
Xie Ruan: "..." So he was just a cheapskate who talked big.
Xie Ruan angrily turned over.
No sooner had he rolled over than Ji Ye's hand, which had been around him, reached out and rolled Xie Ruan back over.
then.
Xie Ruan felt as if her whole body was covered in the sandalwood scent of Ji Ye.
Xie Ruan hadn't figured out how to talk to Ji Ye yet.
Ji Ye chuckled, "210,000 for one night, how about it?"
?
Xie Ruan's brain completely shut down.
Xie Ruan felt her ears were foggy, as if her eardrums were blocked by something, making it muffled and she couldn't hear Ji Ye's voice clearly.
Xie Ruan couldn't believe what she was hearing.
She just stood there, staring blankly at Ji Ye's slightly upturned lips.
And when Ji Ye spoke again...
An almost seductive voice.
"210,000 a night? You'll sleep with me?"
