Chapter 31 Redemption
The floor lamp stretched Si Wan's shadow very long. She leaned against the headboard and pressed her brows. Her suit jacket was missing, and her black deep V dress was in jeopardy.
The halo of light from the bedside lamp was like melted honey, spreading irregular circular spots on the beige sheets.
Yu Jinnian leaned against the bay window, two buttons of his white shirt undone, and his knuckles holding the glass turned bluish-white.
The air conditioner in the room was turned on too cold, and Si Wan hunched her shoulders due to the cold, and got under the quilt in a daze.
The quilt had long been chilled by the air conditioning, and covering itself with it was like covering itself with two pieces of ice.
"Cold~" The trembling voice had a hint of alcohol at the end.
Yu Jinnian turned his head to look out the window, letting the spicy liquid slowly slide down his throat.
"After having my last meal, it's time for me to go on my way." Si Wan was completely drunk and started talking nonsense.
She clutched the sheets, her eyelashes trembling like dead leaves in the wind.
The way he unconsciously bit the corner of the quilt looked like a pitiful kitten meowing in the cold winter.
"Dong." The wine glass made a heavy sound when it hit the marble countertop.
Yu Jinnian walked to the bedside and looked down at the person on the bed.
It has not moved for a long time.
Because drunken talk is just too exciting.
"It's so cold, it's frozen solid... I guess I can't cut it anymore."
"Brother, sharpen your knife before you kill me. I'm afraid of the pain."
"...Hehe, I stole another good thing from Zhu Yuanzhang today."
Yu Jinnian: "..."
My heart softened for some reason, and I laughed and said, "You even know Zhu Yuanzhang, that's amazing."
Si Wan suddenly protected her neck with both hands: "What a bullshit! He chopped off my head... Wuwaaaaa! Bullying me! He bullied me! Wuwaaaaaaaa!"
The sudden ghostly howls and wolves' howls made Yu Jinnian's temples jump.
Somehow I recalled the scene of a naughty kid sitting on the ground and acting like a spoiled brat because his father didn't give him the toy he asked for.
"Okay, I won't bully you. Okay?" Yu Jinnian reached out to pull Si Wan's hand.
"Hmm, it's so hot." He grabbed the hand that brought the heat with his backhand and suddenly pulled it hard like a bull.
Even someone as solid as Yu Jinnian staggered.
He chuckled softly, "When did you become so wild?" He cooperated very well, kneeling on one knee in a posture that made Si Wan comfortable, letting Si Wan's little face rub against his shirt.
Suddenly, Si Wan stopped crying and opened her eyes without warning. She sat up in a flash.
Perhaps the quilt was too much of a nuisance, so she kicked the cold quilt away like a mermaid flicking her tail.
In an instant, a face enlarged in front of the man. He narrowed his eyes and tears rolled out from his eyes. The bean-sized beads fell on the back of Yu Jinnian's hand.
It is so hot that it seems to burn the skin.
"Save me, please—the knife is too long. It will hurt so much if I cut it. I'm scared."
She slowly reached out and hugged Yu Jinnian's neck.
The breath was trembling and full of the sweet taste of Cabernet Sauvignon.
Yu Jinnian's whole body tensed up, and he lowered his eyes to watch her hot palm slip into the collar of her shirt.
His Adam's apple slid and his voice became hoarse: "...You are drunk."
He moaned and tried to push away, but Si Wan's hot fingers pressed on his lips.
Her wet eyes reflected his tense face, and her fingertips slowly slid towards his tense jaw.
"Save me, save me--" she murmured against his hot neck, her breath full of intoxicating temptation.
Yu Jinnian's eyes darkened: "Who am I?"
"—whoever you are."
The air condensed instantly, leaving only the whistling cold wind.
"Ha! Anyone can do it..." His knuckles crackled, as if he was crushing invisible shards of glass.
Yu Jinnian's Adam's apple rolled up and down, and a low, hoarse roar rolled out of his throat, like a beast trapped in a cage: "...I was going to let you go, but you asked for it."
The man stood up and walked forward. Si Wan exclaimed, but her voice quickly turned into an accusing hum.
In the shadow of his falling hair, his pupils burned with fire quenched by ice. Yu Jinnian stood up, supporting himself on the soft bed with one hand.
He ripped open his shirt, and the buttons snapped with a murderous sound.
The large chest seemed like salvation from the cold winter. Si Wan arched her upper body and pressed her whole body against it. But she was quickly pressed back into a round shape.
"Hurry up, it's time to get on the carriage--" Si Wan, who was unconscious, was in a panic and added fuel to the fire of Yu Jinnian.
"Why isn't the carriage moving? It'll be too late if we don't run now—" In a hurry, Si Wan lifted the curtain of the carriage and grabbed the whip.
He breathed a sigh of relief: "--Finally got on the bus."
The man lowered his head, the sweat on his forehead could not cover the bulging blue veins, and his eyes slowly moved to the black deep V.
"Rip!" The thin layer of flesh-colored gauze flew into the air.
The curves between his chest were like sand dunes washed by the tide, with tiny blushes appearing with his breathing.
The undulating edge suddenly met his fierce gaze - when she got closer, the soft tip was like a match striking a fleeting spark on the phosphorus surface.
"cold--"
"You won't be cold soon." The low voice fell, and a scream suddenly sounded in the bedroom.
The moonlight was hazy and there were fewer and fewer people in the swimming pool.
Yu Yan defeated Zhang Chen, but couldn't find Si Wan.
"Where is Si Wan?" The two looked at Wenwen.
Wenwen bit her lip and said, "Sister Wanwan is drunk. Secretary Wu took her to rest."
"You." Yu Yan rushed towards the hotel. A bad premonition almost swallowed him.
Zhang Chen was stunned for a moment: "It can't be...what I think it is?"
Wenwen pursed her lips: "...I don't know."
When Zhang Chen and Wenwen found Yu Yan, they saw his knuckles pressed against the door frame, like a taut guitar string.
The creaking sound of the bed frame unable to bear the weight could be heard from the room, mixed with Si Wan's broken breathing.
Yu Yan looked down at his dull face reflected in the metal door handle and clenched his fists.
"How long do you want to listen?" Wu Cong let Yu Yan approach the door intentionally.
Be it to resolve personal grudges or to relieve worries.
He did all that.
"Despicable and shameless." Yu Yan gritted his teeth and suddenly swung his fist to hit Wu Cong hard in the face.

"Ah! The carriage is so fast. If it goes faster, we can escape. Faster, faster."
If the sounds were any faster, it would be like a death warrant. The man was almost crazy: "Be good, scream louder."
The carriage was running at high speed through the jungle, the wheels rolling over potholes and splashing water on the weeds on both sides of the road.
Si Wan raised her head and looked back, and found someone behind her beating her fiercely. She yelled uncontrollably, "They're catching up! Hurry up!"
When I looked forward again, I found that there was a cliff in front of the people and the car.
Suddenly she burst into tears: "In the end, it's still a dead end."
With a "bang", the sound of the carriage rolling and hitting the ground came clearly into my ears.
Si Wan chuckled softly and let herself fall resignedly.
Fell asleep.
"Stop hitting me!" Wenwen was so scared that she burst into tears.
Wu Cong and Yu Yan both had bruises on their faces from the fight.
Zhang Chen was not in a better situation either. He failed to stop the fight and ended up breaking Ma Zhang Fei's body, leaving a big bruise on his right eye.
At this moment, the exquisitely painted white door opened.
The two people rolling on the ground stopped and looked towards the light source.
Yu Jinnian was wearing a black robe, and the cigarette between his fingers was half burned.
"What do you want?" The man's voice was filled with dissatisfaction.
His gaze swept over the few people coldly.
