Chapter 35: A Slap, a Kiss (The Misunderstanding Over the Sachet is Cleared Up)
Nan Jiao was pulled away by Lu Xiao before she could react.
A group of doctors were left looking at each other, and after a few seconds of thought, they still did not choose to follow.
"Lu Xiao, what are you doing? Let me go!"
Because few people choose to take the stairs, the entire stairwell is empty.
Nan Jiao was pinned against the wall by his grip on her arm. She didn't like this position, as if she was completely under his control and at his mercy.
She stomped on his foot hard; she was wearing high heels today, so the force of her stomp was evident.
Lu Xiao merely frowned slightly, but did not choose to let go of her.
His large hand was like an iron clamp, and Nan Jiao couldn't break free at all: "Lu Xiao, you're hurting me!"
Her soft yet angry voice rang out, and Lu Xiao, as if waking from a dream, relaxed his grip. Seeing a faint blush appear on her fair skin, a hint of annoyance flashed in his eyes.
He held her hand and gently blew on it, then heard Nan Jiao's voice in his ear: "Let go of me!"
Seeing that she was about to leave again, Lu Xiao grabbed her slender waist and pulled her into his arms, pinning her against the wall once more, but this time with much less force.
Without a word, he bent down and kissed her neck, wanting to cover the original mark and leave only his own scent.
Nan Jiao was stunned by his urgent and rough actions, and for a moment she forgot to resist.
Suddenly, footsteps sounded, and Nan Jiao's fair face turned completely red.
She had always lived a very conventional life, especially when it came to romance. Getting intimate with someone in the stairwell wasn't considered outrageous, but the thought of being caught by others made her so ashamed and angry that she wanted to disappear into a hole.
Her earlobes were already tinged with pink.
[Haha, the female supporting character's baby is so cute! If I were her, I'd like her too. Can you give me a transmigration card so I can transmigrate into the male lead's body!]
[You bunch of perverts, you all exploded at the sight of this scene, but then again... me too.]
[Sorry, I've betrayed my original intention. I think the female supporting character and the male lead are a better match... They separated because of hatred, but couldn't let go because of love.]
[What utter nonsense! What kind of writing is this? It's disgusting! The author hasn't even written any romance between the male and female leads in all this time.]
If you don't like watching, then don't watch. Nobody's forcing you. Sigh, who understands how it feels to ship a couple destined to end badly...?
...
The moment the passerby stepped into the stairwell, Lu Xiao was even faster, pulling Nan Jiao into his arms and completely shielding her with his tall figure.
A passerby walked in, glanced at the stairs, and then quickly went upstairs, leaving the stairwell quiet again.
Nan Jiao pressed herself against Lu Xiao's chest, the familiar scent of tobacco emanating from him filling her nostrils. Suddenly, she remembered how many times she had buried herself in that spot, and for some reason, her face flushed even more.
Thinking that this would be a benefit for other people in the future, she angrily reached out and grabbed two handfuls.
The feel is still as good as ever...
Lu Xiao's body stiffened noticeably. He looked down and saw her mischievous expression. Just as she withdrew her hand, he pressed her hand against his chest.
His deep voice was slightly hoarse as he leaned down, his nose touching hers, his warm breath brushing against her face: "Why did you stop?"
"I've had enough fun."
Her casual remark made his breathing instantly become heavy. Gazing at her slightly swollen lips, his deep blue eyes were filled with jealousy and a loss of control.
"You think you've had your fill of fun? Nan Jiao, I really want to lock you up so you can only see me, touch me, feel my breath and kiss me... For a flirtatious and fickle female like you, wouldn't that be the most effective method?"
He unconsciously tightened his grip on her waist, but because he still had a sliver of reason left, he didn't dare to actually exert force.
"Do you know how I've gotten through these past three years? Do you know how I've raised Yan Yan?"
Hearing him talk about the past three years, the vivid descriptions in the comments section once again assaulted Nan Jiao's brain.
How could he possibly live? Of course, he'd live happily ever after with the female lead…
Lu Xiao grabbed her waist and kissed her uncontrollably.
With a "smack," a handprint appeared on Lu Xiao's face, but he stubbornly refused to let go, his scarlet tongue licking his lips.
"Good hit! Keep hitting me! For every slap you give me, I'll kiss you!"
Nan Jiao was slightly stunned, as if she hadn't expected him to say such a shameless thing.
Seeing the look of disgust in her eyes, Lu Xiao felt as if he had swallowed a needle. He reached out and covered her eyes, then kissed her lips fiercely once again.
His voice trembled uncontrollably.
"Don't look at me like that! Don't! Do you hear me, Nan Jiao!"
A slight pain shot through my lips, mixed with the metallic taste of blood I couldn't identify, and it exploded in my mouth.
After an unknown amount of time, Lu Xiao's emotions gradually calmed down. With a touch of lingering affection, he licked the cut on the corner of her lip and then placed several wet kisses on her cheek.
Are you happy with Qi Han?
"Look, I'm still wearing this sachet, but whenever I think that I wasn't the original owner of this sachet, that I was just a ruthless bandit, I..."
Nan Jiao's clear black and white eyes seemed to be submerged in water. She was slightly stunned, as if she couldn't understand:
"Lu Xiao, you think you're in the right to steal Kang Kang's mosquito repellent sachet?"
Lu Xiao paused, clutching the sachet in his hand tightly: "Which wild male is Kang Kang this time? You've given this to more than... just one male?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? Kang Kang is Qi Han's son. What you're holding is a mosquito repellent sachet that I gave to Kang Kang to prevent mosquito bites. What are you talking about? What do you mean there's more than one person? Is there any special meaning to this? Xiang Xiang has one around her neck too."
Xiangxiang is Nanjiao's smart home assistant, and she has a cat-like appearance.
"So..." Lu Xiao asked eagerly, "Tell me, what is the purpose of this sachet?"
Nan Jiao was increasingly confused: "It contains honeysuckle, patchouli, perilla leaves and dried tangerine peel. It's for repelling mosquitoes for the cubs. It looks nice and is easy to carry."
Lu Xiao suddenly pulled her into his arms, his voice trembling: "So... that sachet wasn't a token of love you gave to Qi Han, was it?"
"I don't know what you're talking about..."
Nan Jiao's mind was a bit muddled; perhaps ever since she fainted from an allergic reaction, her head had been foggy.
"Let me tell you, sachets are tokens of love in free-choice marriages. Orcs who are attracted to each other and intend to get married will exchange sachets to express their longing and determination. This is common knowledge that every interstellar person knows."
Nan Jiao's head went blank. She wasn't a native interstellar person, so of course she didn't understand. She never expected that a sachet would have so many interpretations.
"That's not important anymore."
Lu Xiao lowered his head and stroked her cheek:
"I want to move back."
