Chapter 46 Intimate and Close
Until they were close to the dining table, Gu Zhi's palm remained on her waist.
Ruan Yi's body stiffened slightly, and the lower back where the man was holding her felt like it was on fire, even her earlobes felt hot.
In the past, being touched by him was a common occurrence, but ever since that bizarre incident where we woke up in bed together...
Gu Zhi gently placed two bowls of steaming pumpkin and millet porridge on the table.
Ruan Yi, thinking she was being very discreet, dragged her chair to one side and pushed her bowl of porridge outwards as she sat down.
The man paused, his hand hovering in mid-air, but a cryptic smile slowly curved his lips.
"Sister...why are you sitting so far away?"
Before Ruan Yi could explain, the man stretched out his long arm, grabbed the back of her chair, and easily pulled the entire chair, along with her, in front of him.
Ruan Yi cried out in surprise, lost her balance and fell into his arms. The moment her nose hit his chest, she heard a low, muffled laugh from above her.
Gu Zhi scooped up some rice porridge with pumpkin bits with a spoon, held it to her lips and gently rubbed it against her lips. "Open your mouth, sister."
Warm breath was right next to my ear. I was so flustered, even though it was common for Ah Zhi to feed me before and we were together day and night.
Ruan Yi suddenly grabbed the wrist in front of her, swallowed hard, and spoke in a somewhat awkward tone.
"I'll eat by myself from now on, haha. I'm a grown adult, why would I need you to feed me?"
The air froze instantly after he finished speaking, and Gu Zhi's hand holding the spoon was completely frozen in mid-air.
After a long pause, Gu Zhi lowered his eyes and asked, "Did I upset my sister?"
When it looked up again, its pupils were covered with a layer of wet mist, looking as aggrieved as a large dog abandoned by its owner.
Ruan Yi was immediately distressed and flustered, so she quickly leaned forward and put her head in his mouth with the small spoon full of porridge.
"I...I'm not angry with you, I just feel like I can eat by myself. If others see me feeding you like this, won't they think it's strange...?"
As Ruan Yi spoke, her voice grew softer and softer, and her cheeks became increasingly pink.
She didn't know why she felt this way, but she suddenly felt a little uneasy.
"What's so strange about it? I used to feed my sister like this too."
Gu Zhi's voice was like coaxing a child, and his other hand gently touched her burning earlobe, his fingertips kneading the sensitive flesh again and again.
"This is just an ordinary thing between siblings..."
As the last syllable of his voice trailed off, the man had already fed her a spoonful of porridge, the warmth of his palm spreading down her earlobe.
"It's normal that others don't understand; after all, there's no other pair of siblings in the world like us..."
"Inseparable, aren't we?" The voice was low and seductive.
Ruan Yi was at a loss, fearing that she had overreacted.
Gu Zhi's fingertips rubbed her earlobe more and more gently, as if he were soothing a frightened kitten.
"I'm the closest person to my sister, aren't I? If my sister pushes me away... Ah Zhi will be very sad."
A perfectly timed look of hurt appeared in the man's eyes, and in the moment she wavered, he pulled her even closer to his embrace.
As the sweet pumpkin porridge was fed to her pink lips again, his voice seeped into Ruan Yi's thoughts.
"Mmm." Ruan Yi obediently stopped resisting being fed.
Seeing the girl's slightly dilated pupils and shallow breathing, the man's smile almost overflowed as he caressed the soft flesh of her waist with his fingertips.
On the surface, the change was completely unexpected, and the girl in his arms offered no resistance.
The softness beneath his palm will eventually become his...
A forbidden love forever.
The man's fingertips reluctantly left her burning earlobe, and Ruan Yi trembled slightly as if waking from a dream.
The thought of keeping my distance just now seemed to have never crossed my mind; this intimacy seemed to be the natural thing to do.
Ruan Yi shook her head, belatedly realizing that she was nestled in Gu Zhi's arms.
"One more bite!"
My younger brother is just someone I can boss around.
"Okay." A soft, vibrating laugh came from the man's chest.
He gently blew on the still-steaming pumpkin porridge to cool it down, then brought it to her lips, his fingertips brushing against her moist lips.
“I’ll listen to whatever my sister says.”
"Where can you find such a good younger brother? Your older sister will love you for the rest of her life."
While being fed, Ruan Yi made grand promises.
Once she drives away those main characters and disrupts the plot, she can find her brother a sweet and cute girl, and then everyone will be happy.
"Okay, for a lifetime."
The man seemed to have only taken in three words.
"Once it's said, there's no going back."
In the messy rental room.
The air was filled with a strange smell, a mixture of cheap perfume and disinfectant.
The woman stubbed out her cigarette. Her once bright and elegant face now only had a heavy makeup look, making her look completely different from the woman in the Ruan family who wore a haute couture suit.
What good are you after I gave birth to you!
Her gaze fell on the man wrapped in bandages like a mummy on the tattered sofa.
"You sent so many people to follow you, and you still managed to let that little slut get away! And you have the nerve to say you were beaten up like this?"
The man, whose face was wrapped in bandages, sat up abruptly, tearing the gauze from his forehead so that blood seeped through.
"That guy surnamed Shen is no normal person! He acts like a madman. If it weren't for the Shen family, I would have killed him long ago..."
Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a barrage of spittle from the woman.
"Stop bragging! If kidnapping and extortion don't work, try another method. We have to make that bitch Ruan Ying cough up the money!"
The man slowly raised his head, which was wrapped in gauze, and a venomous light seeped out from the gaps in the bandages.
I remember how anxious Ruan Ying looked when she answered the phone and saw Ruan Yi, and the possessiveness in the eyes of that madman from the Shen family when he looked at Ruan Yi.
His chapped lips twisted into a distorted smile.
"Mom, if we want Ruan Ying to obey, we still have to start with Ruan Yi..."
The woman stubbed out her cigarette fiercely, her scarlet fingernails scraping the table with a harsh sound.
"Stop keeping me in suspense! What's the plan? Do you know there are people investigating us everywhere? Luckily we weren't on the ship then, we would have been arrested long ago!"
Her tone grew increasingly agitated.
"We were already on the ship, it was a great opportunity to escape our debts, but then you got a phone call and you want to come back!"
The man slowly tore off the gauze wrapped around his face, revealing a bloody wound that gleamed eerily bluish-purple in the dim light. A chilling smile tugged at the corner of his crooked mouth.
"What do you know! Do you even know who contacted me?!"
"Now I not only want to get the money back, but I also want the entire Ruan Group to belong to me!"
The man's dislocated jaw joint trembled slightly as he spoke, startling the woman into taking a half-step back.
"Are you crazy?!" the woman exclaimed, her eyes wide.
"Looking at you now, what are you going to use to rob us?"
"She and her mother are both useless women!"
The man suddenly lunged at his mother, his half-face exposed under the bandage almost touching hers, the stench of his wounds assaulting her skin.
"That wretched woman is now the only heir of the Ruan family. As long as she gets pregnant with my child..."
He suddenly burst into maniacal laughter.
"I'll film the threatening video, ruin her reputation, and the entire Ruan Group will be mine!"
The woman's face changed drastically as she stared in horror at the twisted malice surging wildly in her son's eyes.
It was as if the person standing in front of him was not his own son, but a complete monster.
