Chapter 17 A Moment

Shen Yan's mind exploded, and the words he had not spoken completely died in his throat.

What was that thing that just brushed across his jaw?

Warm, soft, and slightly moist, completely different from the dryness of early summer.

It was as if a dragonfly had suddenly touched the lake of his heart.

Even though it was fleeting, it still broke the original tranquility, and ripples rippled in circles.

Also fleeting was the attachment that he had not noticed under his surprise.

His eyes, which were difficult to conceal, slowly moved down from the girl's clear eyes, and saw her light pink fingertips pressing on his lips.

The bright red soft flesh sank slightly, as if shouting to him the result of seduction -

soft, right?

Do you like it?

I don't like it, why is your heart beating faster?

The restlessness came again, just like in the dream that night.

In an instant, Shen Yan figured out Ning Yuan's intention.

She was still trying to seduce him, and she took the initiative.

It seemed that she was the one who was bullied by him and he was responsible.

But didn't he promise to marry her?

Why is she still so shameless?

It can't be that because he mentioned Zhao Hui today, she was a little worried and anxious, so she resorted to this desperate measure.

He temporarily suppressed his irritability and said patiently: "Find out who is taking advantage of whom."

"Of course it's you!"

There was some disbelief in the girl's eyes, and her face became even redder.

"You were walking just fine, why did you suddenly turn around and stop? And, you even called my name on purpose... If you didn't call me, would I have raised my head? If you didn't lower your head and put your face close to my mouth, would, would all this have happened?"

Lower your head and put your face close to her mouth?

It was a pity that she could think of it.

He was silent for a moment and said, "Miss Ning, I think it is a virtue to look into other people's eyes when speaking."

"You are shorter than me, it is natural for me to lower my head."

Obviously, a petty woman like Ning Yuan does not have this virtue.

She is always absent-minded when listening to others.

And when she answers, she always lowers her head, looking very embarrassed.

It seems that she will never listen attentively and speak seriously.

Thinking of this, he added: "I have been talking to people like this for so many years, and no one has ever tried to take the opportunity to... kiss me."

"But you, you always like to bow your head to answer, why did Zhixiao raise his head this time?"

He took the initiative and made a conclusion: "You obviously did it on purpose."

"I..."

Ning Yuan didn't want to be misunderstood by him, but she couldn't refute it for a while. She bit her lips in anger, lowered her eyes, and tears fell to the ground.

"Who wants to take the opportunity to kiss you?"

She lowered her voice very low, with a tremor that she had to hold back.

Shen Yan was right, she did like to bow her head to answer.

But that was in some occasions that she didn't like.

Everyone gathered for profit, and they drank and chatted. Everyone wore a false mask and asked some irrelevant questions.

No one really cared about her.

She didn't like it, so she avoided it as much as possible.

To a certain extent, his observation of her could be called meticulous.

But she was really aggrieved today.

Maybe it was because she had seen him more in recent days, or because he helped her several times, she felt that her vigilance against Shen Yan had gradually let go, so she would treat him with a closer attitude.

Didn't he find that he was talking to him more and more?

Although most of them were just quarrels.

But it didn't matter, he didn't care about it at all.

He just wanted to know if she wanted to kiss him on purpose.

That's right. He has been infatuated with her for many years. He must be very happy now when he got a kiss from a beautiful woman.

No wonder he wanted to force her to admit it in person so urgently!

When he raised his eyes again, his eyes were filled with tears.

"Sir Shen, do I still need to take the opportunity to kiss you?" She said sarcastically.

Shen Yan's heart, which had just softened, suddenly hardened again.

...It was obviously him who was forced to bear this kiss. What was her attitude?

Just because she was a girl, she was right?

Shen Yan also pursed his lips, looking a little annoyed.

Marrying Ning Yuan was a sudden accident in his plan. If she hadn't used extraordinary means, they should have broken off the engagement.

If he was really a hypocritical person, let alone he had only been entangled with her in his dreams.

In this world, he could also take advantage of their fate and marry her home to take advantage of her, instead of thinking about their own well-being.

It was because he knew that it was not easy for a woman to survive in the world and could not be burdened by reputation, and he felt guilty, so he thought of marrying her!

If she had said something soft at that time, saying that she did not mean to do it, instead of taking the initiative, he would not have been so persistent.

Even if she did it on purpose in her heart, he would not have bothered with her.

But what about her?

Not only did she not appreciate it, but she became more and more righteous.

He snorted coldly: "Forget it, it's really hard to carve a rotten wood."

Ning Yuan's arrogance was ignited by this rotten wood.

Her eyes full of mist could not stop the tears from falling, but she still stared at him fiercely, with a kind of tragic grandeur of burning the boats.

Shen Yan was about to turn around and end this meaningless farce, when he was suddenly grabbed by the collar of his clothes by the person in front of him. He

heard footsteps getting closer and closer behind him, accompanied by Pei Zixing's greeting: "Shen Zhiyu, I have been looking for you for a long time, but I didn't expect you to be here——"

Before he finished speaking, the girl in front of him stood on tiptoe and kissed his cheek without saying a word.

It was as if floating clouds shattered upon touch, bursting with a rich sweet fragrance.

And then left in an instant.

Shen Yan's heart was hit hard, and then suddenly skipped a few beats.

For the first time in his life, he realized what it was like to be at a loss.

He lowered his head and saw that the slender white fingers suddenly left his collar.

The voice like spring rain fell a little hurriedly today.

"I can kiss you if I want to. Why do I need to take the opportunity!"

After leaving this sentence, she ran to the inn with grievance.

Pei Zixing witnessed everything, and the whole person was stunned and froze in place.

Is this what he should see?

Is this what he can see?

When Ning Yuan ran past him, wiping her tears with her sleeve, he came to his senses and said in a shy voice, "Send some tea to Lord Shen's room later."

Send him a head.

Ning Yuan was still crying, and ignored him and ran straight to the stairwell.

The inn suddenly fell into a dead silence.

Shen Yan stood there motionless, his eyes stunned, as if his soul had been sucked out.

Pei Zixing walked quickly to Shen Yan with some excitement.

What he saw just now, was he dreaming?

Is this still the Shen Yan who keeps strangers and acquaintances away?

He tried to get close to him to verify, but Shen Yan came to his senses and raised his hand to push him back.

The two maintained the usual distance of one step, Shen Yan said with some disgust: "What are you doing?"

Pei Zixing now confirmed that he was indeed the real Shen Yan.

Shen Yan could accept the most intimate distance with others, which was just one step away, and any closer would be an offense.

He felt a sense of relief as if he saw the iron tree bloom, and patted Shen Yan on the shoulder: "To be honest, brother, I have seen all kinds of scenes, but I never thought in my life that I would see you being kissed by a strange man with my own eyes."

"It was the waiter of this inn."

He lowered his voice and said mysteriously to Shen Yan's already red ears: "Don't worry, I have asked him to make a pot of tea and send it to your room."

Shen Yan glanced at him strangely.

Pei Zixing swallowed his saliva, his expression became a little complicated, and he lowered his voice a little, and asked worriedly: "But what about Miss Ning?"

Shen Yan was relieved when he heard it.

Fortunately, he didn't find out that the waiter was actually Ning Yuan.

If this matter got out, he could almost foresee what kind of abuse she would bear.

Shen Yan did not explain, but simply accepted it. He walked towards the inn and said to Pei Zixing, "Mind your own business."

After the two young masters who were as strong as pine and bamboo passed by, the servant who was leaning against the window to watch the excitement whispered to the person next to him, "Spread the word, Lord Shen was kissed by the waiter."

The man nodded hurriedly, returned to the couch and said to another person, "Did you know? Lord Shen was cuddling with a janitor in front of the inn

just now!" "Really? Tell me in detail!"

"I tell you, it was so intense..."

So layer upon layer of news was passed on.

Zhao Hui was confined by His Majesty and was bored embroidering in her room when she saw the maid running in: "Something bad has happened, Princess!"

"What's wrong?" She held the embroidery needle and raised her head impatiently.

"It turns out that Lord Shen and Miss Ning were just playing around!"

"Why is it bad? This is a good thing..."

Zhao Hui's eyes lit up.

Before she could ask in detail, she heard the maid say: "His real sweetheart is in this inn."

"Many people saw him and the waiter at the door just now... at the door..." The maid blushed more and more as she spoke.

"What are you doing at the door? Are you trying to drive me crazy?"

"You're clinging to me at the door, can't you...can't bear to part with me?"

Zhao Hui's face had turned pale without her knowing when. Her fingertips were pierced by the embroidery needle, and a bright red stain spread across the satin, which was a few shades whiter than her face.

"No wonder he doesn't like women. He was calm when he took Ning Yuan's clothes last time. It turns out that he...he

likes men just like us..."

She pursed her lips and continued to ask, "Can you find out who that waiter is?"

The maid shook her head.

Zhao Hui took a deep breath, her eyes gradually firmed up, "Find out, find out his background! Even if he is a man, he is my rival in love."

*

Time went back to the moment when Ning Yuan stumbled into the stairwell.

She held onto the wooden railing and panted slightly, her heart beating so fast that it seemed like it was going to jump out of her throat.

She slowed down her pace unconsciously, and recalled the moment when her lips touched his cheek, and she felt a surge of regret.

Did he say that she had ulterior motives?

Why did she always want to prove herself?

Now, don't give Shen Yan that guy a reward, who knows how happy he will be right now.

She pursed her lips, feeling a little irritated, and couldn't help licking him again. Don't be

fooled by his appearance, he is actually very ordinary when it comes to kissing.

The kisses described in the storybooks are all about being nervous and shy to the point of accelerating heartbeats, and having weak legs and folded waists to the point of moaning; but she only had anger to the point of accelerating heartbeats, and running away to the point of panting and begging.

He was thin, and when she put her lips on his, she felt that his face was very thin, as if it was easy to see through his skin, and his cheeks were not as soft and tender as her own.

But he was very thick-skinned when dealing with people!

Thinking of this, she pinched her cheeks.

If she could not do it, she might as well kiss herself instead of kissing him!

At this time, Shen Yan was still standing in front of the inn.

For some reason, her mind was full of her tearful face.

Although he always hated her for not being dignified enough, she was actually very well behaved.

She always sat there quietly, like a kitten curled up in the grass.

When she cried, it was as if she was soaked by the rain.

He was kind enough to take her back to the eaves to shelter from the rain, but she trembled and stretched out her claws towards him. She

seemed weak and vulnerable, but she was very vicious.

What was even more strange was that he didn't seem to hate her approaching.

While Shen Yan listened to her inner voice, he raised his hand to hold back Pei Zixing who came over.

But...from what she said, it seemed that she hated him very much.
