Shen Muzhi was still dizzy from the kiss and hadn't opened his eyes after Xiang Zhilan separated their lips.
Looking at him like this, Xiang Zhilan felt that he was different from his usual tough, domineering, and cold demeanor. Instead, she felt that he was soft, obedient, and easy to bully.
A slight smile played on her lips as she leaned down and lightly kissed his lips, then stroked his head, soothingly saying, "Don't be angry anymore."
Shen Muzhi opened his eyes, speechless. Did she think of him as a puppy?
But seeing how sweet her smile was, I decided to let it go and not argue with her.
When Xiang Zhilan saw the relaxation on his face, she knew that she had passed this test, and the smile on her lips deepened.
Shen Muzhi rarely saw her smile at him, let alone smile so happily. His heart felt like it had been tickled by a feather, light and airy, and he wanted to do something. So he gestured with his eyes for her to lean over.
Xiang Zhilan lowered her head in confusion, when suddenly, Shen Muzhi grabbed her neck, bit her lip, and launched into a fierce kiss like a storm.
After the kiss, Xiang Zhilan was slightly out of breath, her eyes misty as she looked at Shen Muzhi.
Shen Muzhi was also a little unsteady on his feet. His hand slid from her neck to her cheek, caressing her face. Looking at her, he said in a low, magnetic voice, "You don't need to try. You just need to stay where you are."
If there are a hundred steps between them, he has already taken fifty steps towards her. Let him work hard for the remaining fifty steps, to make her like him, instead of making her work hard to like him.
Xiang Zhilan understood what he meant, her cheeks flushed slightly, she stood up, and turned her back to him, somewhat at a loss.
Shen Muzhi slipped his hand into her palm and gently grasped her hand.
Looking down at Zhi Lan, he saw that Zhi Lan's fingers were long and strong, with distinct knuckles, which made him feel very safe.
She twitched her fingertips slightly, then grasped his hand in return, her cheeks flushing even more.
"Ahem, looks like I've interrupted something good." Xiao Yi saw the two holding hands as they entered and couldn't help but tease them.
Xiang Zhilan immediately tried to pull her hand back, but Shen Muzhi didn't let her succeed.
"What are you doing here?" Shen Muzhi frowned and looked at Xiao Yi.
“Can’t even an old friend come to visit me in the hospital?” Xiao Yi pulled up a chair and sat down by the bed, raising his long eyebrows slightly. “But you look quite energetic now, so it seems my worries were unnecessary.”
Xiang Zhilan wanted to pour Xiao Yi a glass of water, but then pulled her hand away. Seeing that Shen Muzhi still wouldn't let go, she turned around and glared at him, which finally made him release his grip.
After pouring water for Xiao Yi, she excused herself to go get a shot to prevent miscarriage and left, wanting Xiao Yi and Shen Muzhi to have a good chat.
"You're still looking even though the door's closed," Xiao Yi teased Shen Muzhi.
Shen Muzhi withdrew his gaze, but his eyes still held a hint of pleasure.
"Looks like the injury wasn't for nothing. Congratulations on winning the heart of your beauty." Xiao Yi teased, but he was genuinely happy for Shen Muzhi. For ten years, he had watched him wallow in the pain of unrequited love, and now he had finally come out of it.
"Did she send you?" Shen Muzhi asked.
“Yeah, your wife suspects you have masochistic tendencies, let me take a look.” Xiao Yi betrayed Xiang Zhilan, stroking his chin and carefully looking at Shen Muzhi, and laughed: “I don’t see any masochistic tendencies in you, but you are full of the decadent aura of love, which is enough to make single dogs envious.”
