Chapter 38 Bottom Line
Shi Jin's kiss was domineering and forceful, making Bai Zhenzhu's ears go numb. Her hands gradually fell on his back, unconsciously stroking it back and forth.
Their individual scents intertwined silently, like yeast fermenting to create the most alluring ambiguity.
Soon, a hand slowly moved upwards, touching the side of his neck, feeling his strong, powerful pulse, which stirred her heart.
After kissing for a while, they were so breathless that they reluctantly parted ways.
The white pearl, after being kissed, was radiant and delicate, as tender as a pink crabapple dripping with dew in March.
Looking at the beautiful white pearl, Shi Jin felt an irrepressible surge of emotion once again.
His fingers had somehow found their way to the back of her neck, and he pressed her into his arms in a more forceful manner.
This allowed Bai Zhenzhu to experience his passion beyond his calmness and rationality for the first time.
Listening to his heartbeat, Bai Zhenzhu rarely showed a genuine smile.
"Shi Jin, you're smitten~"
She used a declarative sentence, and at this point she didn't need to test it; she was already 100% certain.
Shi Jin tried his best to calm his heartbeat, but it seemed that his heartbeat would become chaotic as soon as he got close to Bai Zhenzhu.
He was caught in a complicated situation. He knew he liked Li Qianni, but he had developed an inappropriate interest in Bai Zhenzhu's body, scent, and face.
Are all men able to distinguish between love and desire?
Bai Zhenzhu said he was moved, but was he truly moved, or was it just desire at play?
He seemed unable to answer.
After calming down for a few minutes, Shi Jin finally pushed the person away from his arms.
He spoke coldly and distantly: "Bai Zhenzhu, I'm a man. Isn't it normal for me to have a reaction to a girl who's somewhat attractive?"
Bai Zhenzhu truly admired Shi Jin's "advantage" of being stubborn. Was he going to say next, "I just made a mistake that any man would make"?
He's utterly scumbag!
"In that case, you don't need to care which man I seduce or who I'm with."
"Of course I don't care who you seduce. I just want to warn you that Qin Shen is my good brother. He's not one of those casual men around you. Don't set your sights on him. If I find out you've hurt my good brother, I won't let you get away with it."
Seeing how serious he was, Bai Zhenzhu burst out laughing.
"Shi Jin, I didn't realize you were such a loyal person. But Qin Shen and I are both single, it's our relationship, what's it to you?"
"White Pearl! Don't test my limits!"
"Where is your bottom line? Is it here?"
As they were talking, Bai Zhenzhu's restless little hands started to get mischievous again, and she suddenly reached into Shi Jin's shirt and touched his abs.
Shi Jin abruptly shook off Bai Zhenzhu's hand and said angrily, "Don't touch me!"
"Fine, if you don't want to touch me, then don't. Anyway, your abs aren't as sexy as Fu Nansheng's abs, so I don't care!"
"You touched Fu Nansheng's abs?!"
"Yeah, I've touched not only Fu Nansheng's, but also Gu Siming's. Oh, and yesterday I even touched Qin Shen's abs!"
"White Pearl! You're shameless!"
He practically roared it out, his slender, pale hands slamming their knuckles down hard on the steering wheel.
His jawline was taut, his cheeks seemed to twitch slightly, and his scarlet eyes looked like they were about to unleash a storm.
Shi Jin didn't know why he was so angry; he felt like he was about to explode with anger at Bai Zhenzhu.
Bai Zhenzhu was startled by him and shrank her neck in fear.
But she still stared at him defiantly and continued to provoke him, saying, "Even if I'm shameless, from now on we have nothing to do with each other!"
After saying that, she got out of the car, slammed the door shut, and went into the dormitory building without looking back.
As Shi Jin watched her departing figure, the ice in his eyes rapidly solidified, and his entire body exuded a chilling aura, as if he were covered in ice, even colder than an ice cellar.
He took out his phone and opened the group chat with his brothers.
He sent the message, "Have a drink with me."
...
Shi Jin, who was completely drunk, was taken back to his dormitory by his friends.
His friend actually wanted to take him back to his apartment, but Shi Jin insisted on going back to his dorm.
When Qin Shen opened the dormitory door, a strong smell of alcohol hit him.
"Young Master Shi, how much did you drink?"
Qin Shen stepped forward to help Shi Jin, but Shi Jin shook him off with a backhand.
Then he barged into the dormitory.
Qin Shen wasn't angry and happily followed him into the dormitory.
"Young Master Shi, what's wrong? Are you in a bad mood?"
Shi Jin shot him a cold glance, which startled Qin Shen.
"Qin Shen, don't you have anything you want to tell me?"
Although Shi Jin was drunk, his mind became exceptionally clear when he saw Qin Shen.
He especially remembered seeing Qin Shen and Bai Zhenzhu on the Ferris wheel today, which kept stimulating his brain.
Qin Shen was a little confused when he heard this. What should he say?
After thinking for a moment, I suddenly realized, could it be...?
He looked at Shi Jin nervously, licked his lips guiltily, and then explained, "Young Master Shi, you, you listen to me, I..."
"Qin Shen, how many years have we known each other?"
He didn't give Qin Shen a chance to explain, but asked this question very seriously.
“It’s been about 13 years since we started elementary school.”
"Then you should know that I hate betrayal the most, and I would never allow my brother to mess with the same girl as me."
At this point, Qin Shen knew that Shi Jin understood everything.
He gave a bitter smile.
"Shi Jin, but you like Li Qianni, don't you? Don't you hate Bai Zhenzhu? What's wrong with me pursuing Bai Zhenzhu?"
Although Shi Jin is a perfectionist when it comes to emotions, he finds the idea of brothers getting involved with the same girl extremely distasteful.
Even within this circle, there's an unwritten rule: you can't mess with your friend's wife.
But Bai Zhenzhu is different. Shi Jin dislikes her, so what's wrong with him pursuing Bai Zhenzhu?
Shi Jin seemed stumped by the question. What did Qin Shen do wrong?
He did not betray him, and he did not like Bai Zhenzhu.
But he was just unhappy and irritable.
He tugged at his collar and continued, arguing, "A woman like Bai Zhenzhu is not good enough for you. I'm doing this for your own good."
"Young Master Shi, have you forgotten something? I'm not a good man either. I'm a womanizer, I'm promiscuous, I've been with countless women. I'm the one who doesn't deserve Bai Zhenzhu."
It wasn't until this moment that Shi Jin realized he had misjudged the situation. Qin Shen wasn't a fickle or promiscuous person; at least, he was extremely serious when he mentioned Bai Zhenzhu.
This discovery made him even more unhappy.
If Qin Shen was just bored and playing around, that's fine.
But he fell in love with her...
