Chapter 176 Restraint and Satisfaction
The atmosphere between the young man and woman in the apartment was still strange.
Xia Zhen tilted her head, her beautiful, innocent eyes sparkling with naivety. "Lu Jin, did you buy that strange little box?"
"no!"
Xia Zhen blinked, puzzled. "Is this thing really that important? You seem quite excited."
"No...it's nothing." Lu Jin turned and walked out of the room, clutching what he was holding. He returned a short while later, but what he was holding was gone.
Xia Zhen asked in confusion, "Where are the things?"
“I threw it in the trash.” Lu Jin calmed himself down, sat down on the edge of the bed, picked up the hair tie she had taken off before going to sleep from the bedside table, looked at her steadily, and said in his voice as calm as ever, “Zhenzhen, I’ll take you out to eat.”
Xia Zhen nodded obediently, and even turned her back to him so that he could comb her hair and braid it.
Was she a little too well-behaved after she woke up from her nap?
Is she still sleepy, that's why she's being so well-behaved?
Lu Jin remained on edge, hoping she could forget about the little box.
She suddenly called his name, "Lu Jin".
Lu Jin replied, "What's wrong?"
"You got an apartment but didn't tell me. Are you planning to secretly bring other girls here behind my back?"
Lu Jin tightened his grip on her hair, and Xia Zhen turned to glare at him, "It hurts!"
He hurriedly let go of her hand, and her full head of black hair fell loose again, with a strand of hair blurring her eyes. She pursed her lips tightly, becoming even more dissatisfied.
Like a child who had done something wrong, Lu Jin carefully reached out and smoothed a strand of hair from her face, then whispered, "I'm sorry."
"What is it that you're apologizing to me for?"
Lu Jin was silent for a while, "Of course it's not because I wanted to secretly bring other girls here behind your back. From beginning to end, I never had such a thought."
Xia Zhen asked with a hint of doubt, "Then why didn't you tell me?"
Lu Jin's eyes flickered for a moment, "I forgot."
She shifted her body to face him directly, her face full of disbelief. "What do you mean by 'forgot'?"
"Because I felt that its existence was of no use to me, I unconsciously forgot about it."
Xia Zhen straightened up and brought her face close to his. "You're afraid I'll do something to you, so you said you forgot, right?"
"no."
Xia Zhen smiled smugly, "Lu Jin, I've been with you for so long, do you think I can't tell if you're lying or not?"
Lu Jin: "..."
She moved closer to him, eventually squeezing into his arms, grabbing his hand and wrapping it around her waist. Her eyes narrowed, and she smiled alluringly. "What are you afraid of? You look like a little wife about to be bullied by a landlord. Am I that scary?"
Lu Jin nodded, "Yes."
She retorted, "Then tell me, what's so scary about me!"
He said, "She's like a man-eating ghoul."
Xia Zhen snorted, "What are you afraid of? Anyway, I'm only eating you, I'm not eating anyone else."
Lu Jin had been trying to keep a straight face, but upon hearing her words, his tense expression relaxed slightly, and a smile appeared in his eyes. However, it would be very bad if this topic continued.
He clumsily changed the subject, "You haven't had dinner yet? Are you hungry? Shall we go out to eat?"
Xia Zhen nodded. "I am hungry."
Lu Jin was about to re-tie her hair when she grabbed his hand and said with a smile, "But I want to eat you, not anything else."
She wrapped her arms around his neck and leaned in to kiss him.
Lu Jin's lips were covered by a soft touch. His throat tightened, and his hands wanted to push her away but couldn't bear to. He was still restraining himself, "Zhenzhen..."
He wanted to tell her to calm down, but before he could finish speaking, the girl's warmth rushed in, and she skillfully clung to him, wanting him to indulge with her.
Lu Jin's throat tightened. The girl's body, pressed against his chest, was soft, as if it had no bones, incredibly supple. It seemed that no matter how tightly he held her, it wouldn't be enough.
He took a slight step back, his breathing slightly erratic, "Zhenzhen, stop fooling around."
Xia Zhen cupped his face in her hands, her eyes brimming with tears and an uncontrollable affection for him. "Lu Jin, I don't understand, why are you so restraining yourself?"
He was almost drowning in her joy, yet like a traveler thirsty in the desert, his voice was dry and hoarse, "I..."
He couldn't utter a complete sentence.
But she was still patiently waiting for his answer.
Lu Jin could no longer hide it and said with difficulty, obscurity, and self-loathing, "I... I often dream about you at night. Ever since you helped me last time, every time I see you, I long for you to touch me like that again."
This was indeed something he found difficult to talk about. In her heart, he should be the proper, unambitious Lu Jin, not a man with filthy thoughts about girls.
But he couldn't control these filthy thoughts. Of course he couldn't control them. He liked her so much, loved her so much. Just one loving look from her was enough to keep him awake at night.
Lu Jin laid bare his most sordid moments before her eyes. His eyelashes trembled slightly, and he lowered his gaze, unable to meet her eyes. He said hoarsely, "Zhenzhen, actually, I'm no different from those men. I don't want you to hate me. If it starts, I will absolutely..."
They can't control themselves.
He had gotten her attention, and now he wanted her favor.
He had won her favor, and now he wanted her absolute love.
He was a greedy man, always wanting more and more from her. He had been suppressing this intense desire, as if he could control himself as long as he didn't turn on the switch. But once that switch was turned on, he didn't know what he would become.
Suddenly, he was pushed down onto the bed, and Lu Jin looked up at the girl on top of him.
Xia Zhen's long hair slipped down, a few strands landing on Zai's neck, tickling him and causing his Adam's apple to bob.
She said, "But I don't want to see you suppressing yourself, Lu Jin. I know very well what kind of person you are, and I'm prepared to accept what kind of person you are. I want to make you feel satisfied."
There was a glimmer in his light-colored eyes.
Xia Zhen knew that he had been trying hard to suppress himself for her sake. Lu Jin had never had the opportunity to receive love from those around him since birth. She just wanted to love him more.
She leaned down, gently touching his short white hair with one hand, and whispered in his ear, "It was too dark last time to see clearly. I'm so curious, are all the parts of your body like your hair, the color of a snow fairy?"
Lu Jin's eyes trembled, and the blood in his body suddenly seemed to boil.
Xia Zhen was so close to him that she knew exactly how he was going to react. Like a little devil who had succeeded in her plan, she asked him with a smile, "So, do you want to pick out the things that were thrown in the trash can?"
His lips twitched slightly, and after a long while, he managed to squeeze out a single word: "...dirty."
Xia Zhen looked regretful, but soon she excitedly said, "Then we don't need that!"
"No." Lu Jin barely managed to grab her hand that was gripping his waistband with his last bit of reason. His hand was trembling, and his voice was trembling too. "Zhenzhen, I don't want you to take the medicine."
That kind of medicine is bad for your health.
Even though he was in so much pain, he still retained the last shred of his rationality for her sake.
Xia Zhen suddenly lost the desire to tease him anymore. She picked up a small square bag that was lying to the side and poured out several boxes of things. "Small, medium, large, which one do you think is suitable?"
Lu Jin: "..."
Xia Zhen smiled, "Uncle Lu was still too inconsiderate. Although he prepared for you, it wasn't as comprehensive as what I prepared."
She bent down again, smiling, and asked, "So which one do you want to choose?"
He sighed, then reached out and hugged her, their positions reversed, and he silenced her incessant chatter with a kiss.
The white dress was carelessly tossed on the floor, and soon a shirt was thrown down on top of it.
Before long, two boxes were mercilessly swept to the ground. A little while later, a third box also fell to the ground amidst the chaos. Upon closer inspection, this box was the only one that had been opened.
Oh, it's the large size.
