Chapter 49 Between him and Xiao Jue, she could only choose…
After asking that question, he felt a sharp dryness in his throat and stared at her intently.
Yan Jiarou stared at him blankly, her eyelashes trembling slightly. She couldn't lie, and after hesitating for a long time, her cheeks puffed up, she could only cautiously say, "I...I don't know..." As she spoke, she didn't forget to secretly observe Xiao Che's expression.
Xiao Che gave a deflated smirk, raised his hand to pinch his brow, and suddenly felt extremely tired: "Get lost."
He raised his hand to take her off.
"No, I won't..." Yan Jiarou wrapped her arms around him even tighter, her voice trembling with tears, extremely aggrieved: "Xiao Wenqi, don't... don't send me away... why, why are you unhappy?"
"I don't dislike you, so why are you... unhappy too? You and my brother the Crown Prince are both my brothers, so why... can't I like them both?"
"Why?" Xiao Che glanced at her indifferently: "Because you can only choose one."
Yan Jiarou was stunned for a moment, her eyes were red, and most of her lip rouge had been kissed off by him, leaving only a trace of red on her fair cheek, which looked indescribably alluring under the light.
This description sounds like someone has been brutally abused.
Her watery eyes were misty as she looked at him expectantly. Her voice was hoarse from crying, and she spoke haltingly.
"Why...why can I only choose one...you are all my brothers, and all those princesses are your sisters. Can you only choose one you like? How can this be..."
"Of course you and they are different."
“I can like all my sisters, of course,” Xiao Che raised his hand, his thumb wiping away the tears at the corners of her eyes. He slowly leaned closer to her, his breath hot against her ear, and said in a hoarse voice, “But of them, I only want to sleep with you.”
Yan Jiarou trembled, almost doubting whether she had misheard. She sat up straight, subconsciously taking a step back to create distance between them, and turned to look at him in disbelief: "Xiao Wenqi, you...you..."
Xiao Che leaned back in his armchair, glanced at her lazily, and said nonchalantly, "What, surprised?"
"I've wanted to have sex with you for a long time, ever since the first time you kissed me, or even earlier."
"Have I ever told you that I like you? Not some brother-sister thing, but a man-woman relationship."
"My dear sister, don't look at me like that. Do you really not know, or are you just pretending to be stupid?"
"Stop deceiving yourselves. Whispering sweet nothings and entwining lips and teeth—what kind of siblings are like that in the world?"
He gave a half-smile and said quietly, "Royal sister, we have already crossed the line."
Yan Jiarou felt a bang in her head and a buzzing in her ears.
Xiao Che's words shocked her so much that she couldn't recover for a long time.
Xiao Che liked her. She never expected that Xiao Che would like her, and... and in that kind of way...
Yan Jiarou felt her whole body burning up and was extremely ashamed.
He used to bully her since they were little, and she always thought he hated her. How could he possibly like her...?
No, she thought he was just teasing her, probably just another one of his new tricks to bully her: "You...you're lying, how could you possibly like me...you've always...always bullied me since I was little..."
"You only have eyes for Xiao Jue," Xiao Che chuckled slightly. "If I don't do that, how can I get your attention?"
"As for what happened later, it wasn't entirely for that reason. I hate the way you look at Xiao Jue, I hate the way you smile at him, I hate the way you act cute and coquettish towards him. I especially hate the way you tell him you like me. Because I hate it, I can't stand it. Since I can't stand you, I naturally have to bully you."
"How could you do that to him?" He looked at her intently, a dark glint in his eyes. "You can only do this to me."
He slowly sat up straight, moved closer to her, pinched her chin with his fingers, lifted it slightly, and whispered, "Royal sister, I'd rather you hate me than treat me as an insignificant person and forget about me."
"Look, you used to hate me so much, but even when you did something wicked, you still thought of me. Isn't this kind of concern a kind of affection?"
"You...you..." Yan Jiarou stared at him in shock, completely unable to believe that Xiao Che would say such a thing.
It turns out he really did like her...
After all these years, he actually had these thoughts...
She couldn't describe how she felt. At one moment, she felt it was unbelievable, and at the other moment, she felt that Xiao Che's words were... how could they be so perverted?
Who would do that...?
With all sorts of thoughts swirling together, her mind was in complete disarray. All she knew was that the realization that "Xiao Che likes her" was truly shocking, causing her heart to pound uncontrollably.
He likes her, so why doesn't he go along with her a little? If he were willing to go along with her a little, they wouldn't have been at odds for so many years... Oh, but he said he can't stand her, so naturally he won't go along with her wishes...
She also felt that what he said made no sense. He was so handsome, how could she possibly treat him as an insignificant person... If he hadn't forced her to dislike him, she would have been obsessed with him just for his face, wishing she could see him every day. Why would he... why would he bully her just so she wouldn't notice him...
Actually, after spending this time together, she had a vague feeling that her relationship with Xiao Che was not quite normal, but she didn't know how to define it...
They are said to be siblings, but as Xiao Che said, there are no such siblings in the world.
Xiao Che had sexual desires for her, and she had always known that. When their bodies were close together, she could easily feel the changes in his body.
As rumored, a certain part of the Lanling man's body is indeed...quite large.
She finds it hard to ignore even the slightest disturbance.
Whenever this happened, without her saying a word, he would restrain himself and step back, his Adam's apple turning red and veins bulging on his forehead. She knew he was in pain, but she would always lower her eyelids and pretend she didn't know anything.
Although Xiao Che was easily aroused by her, sometimes a kiss was enough to make him... but she didn't think that meant anything. People from Lanling were lustful, and it wasn't surprising that he was agitated by such intimacy with a woman.
She thought any woman would have reacted the same way.
Absolutely not because I like her.
Although she seemed to have heard Xiao Che say he liked her a few times, half-jokingly, each time it was when she was dizzy from his kisses and not fully conscious, so she had no time to tell if he was telling the truth.
In addition, Xiao Che had always bullied her in the past, and he didn't seem to like her at all. Even if he told her that he liked her, it was probably just a joke, so she never took it seriously.
Besides, she didn't want to delve into Xiao Che's feelings for her. She only wanted to enjoy Xiao Che's kindness to her, and didn't want to give him anything in return... nor could she.
So she naively assumed that they were just close siblings, and thus she could enjoy everything Xiao Che gave her without having to pay any price beyond that of siblings.
Until he said those words to her while she was sober this time, she had no choice but to face the fact that Xiao Che truly loved her.
It wasn't a brother-sister relationship, but rather a romantic relationship between a man and a woman.
She hadn't expected him to suddenly confess his feelings to her today, and to make matters worse... he had to be so direct and explicit... He... he actually told her in front of her that he wanted to do *that* to her... and without any attempt to hide it, so brazenly and confidently...
Doesn't he feel ashamed...?
He remained calm and composed after he finished speaking, which made her face turn bright red, and her earlobes looked as if they could bleed.
The thought of Xiao Che harboring those feelings for her made her instinctively want to run away. Her arms, which had been tightly wrapped around his shoulders and neck, quietly loosened... She was afraid that Xiao Che's penis was so big... it would really break... She looked at him with an expression that looked like she was about to cry.
Xiao Che's brows furrowed with frost as he tilted his head to scrutinize her: "What, are you afraid I'll force myself on you?"
He scoffed, "Then you might as well get lost."
Yan Jiarou looked at him with red eyes, tentatively getting off him. Xiao Che stared at her coldly the whole time, a mocking smile on his lips.
As soon as Yan Jiarou's feet touched the ground and she was about to turn around, a nagging restlessness spread from her limbs and bones.
Her body seemed to have gained its own consciousness, craving Xiao Che's warmth and warmth, and once again defied her will.
How can she leave before she has even tasted Xiao Che's blood?
She can't leave at all.
Yan Jiarou turned around, feeling utterly humiliated and ashamed, and slumped back into his arms.
"You know perfectly well that I can't live without you..."
Xiao Che casually replied, "I don't know."
Yan Jiarou sobbed and leaned against his shoulder, feeling wronged: "You're not as nice to me as you used to be..."
Xiao Che's Adam's apple bobbed. He turned his head to the side, his long fingers stroking her chin, forcing her to look up: "If you really can't live without me, then be with me wholeheartedly, okay?"
Yan Jiarou's thick eyelashes trembled slightly, and there was a struggle between her brows: "Xiao Wenqi, I..."
It was that moment of hesitation from her that made Xiao Che even more irritated: "Don't you like me? Why can't you choose me? Or do you like him more?"
Yan Jiarou grasped his hand and hurriedly explained, "I don't like him more..."
Her voice softened, as if she was worried about accidentally angering him again. She spoke cautiously, but there were some things she had to say: "I was just thinking, if I agree to you, what about my brother, the Crown Prince? I promised him, and I can't be a treacherous person... I would have a guilty conscience for the rest of my life..."
She didn't want to be the one who changed her mind; she would despise herself for it.
My brother, the Crown Prince, is such a good person; he did nothing wrong...
But she didn't want to break up with Xiao Che, and she couldn't. He was her cure; she couldn't live without him.
She thought to herself in distress, why is there no way to have the best of both worlds? Why can't she be split in two, one half for Xiao Che and the other half for Xiao Jue?
Her mind was in complete turmoil. Now that Xiao Che had laid everything bare with her, she could no longer deceive herself and pretend she knew nothing, just like before.
If he were just the older brother, he could naturally like both of them. But clearly, Xiao Che was not satisfied with that.
He wanted to force her to make a choice; she could only choose between him and Xiao Jue.
But... but how do I choose?
