Chapter 774: Chapter 773: Affection_1 Chapter 774: Chapter 773: Affection_1 Recognizing that the person wrapped around him was like a vine entwined tightly, Si Limo tightened his arms around her, murmuring, “What’s wrong?”
Weini glanced at them with a smile in her eyes, indicating they should have some privacy.
Clearly, the young couple had a lot to discuss.
The other three were very tactful, they left the room with knowing smiles on their faces, even politely closing the door on their way out.
As the door closed, Si Limo became even bolder. He advanced a few steps, using his arms to brace on the wall. Xiaren subconsciously backed away, pressing against the wall with his warm chest blocking her path.
She had no room to retreat.
Their bodies were tightly pressed together, a perfect fit.
He lowered his head but didn’t kiss her. Their foreheads rested against each other.
Their faces were close, their eyes locked in a passionate gaze. Watching his face loom larger in her field of vision, she reached out and caressed his cheek.
Xiaren gently rubbed her nose against his, a tender action full of unspoken affection.
“For some reason, I feel a sense of loss,” she confessed.
“Is it because you haven’t been able to see me for a while?”
“Maybe.” Xiaren smirked, “Si Limo, I think I’m becoming more and more dependent on you. You probably don’t know this, but I absolutely hate this feeling.”
“You may hate it, but I love it.” Si Limo’s hand moved to her cheek. He gently hooked his finger and said, “Xiaren, I’m glad you’re sharing these feelings with me. It shows you’ve truly accepted me, trusted me.”
“Are you so sure about that?”
“Absolutely.” He stood back slightly, lightly pressing a finger where her heart was, “Try asking it, has it already given itself to me?”
“You’re such a proud woman, if I were humble, I wouldn’t only be unworthy of you, but unable to control you.” Si Limo shared a glance with her, his lips meeting hers in a passionate kiss.
Her back was against the wall, hard and slightly cold.
A warm body blocked her front, creating a sensation of both fire and ice.
In between their entwined breaths, he heard her say, “If you betray me, I might just kill you. You know, I’ve never been a kind person.”
“Being merciful to the enemy is cruelty to oneself. Don’t ever use ‘kindness’ as a weapon to hurt yourself,” he replied with a slight smile. “People are diverse and varied, some like you, some don’t. But the way you truly are, is the way I love the most.”
“Spoken like a true charmer, were those sweet words just to coax me?”
He chuckled, his arms wrapped around her waist. “I have lots more sweet words, want me to say them all, so you can have a good listen?”
“If you don’t mind the trouble of speaking, I wouldn’t mind the trouble of listening.”
Xiaren broke free from his embrace and opened the nearby window. A breeze lifted a strand of her hair.
A life is not so bad, peaceful and tranquil. This was how her grandfather lived his days. Tending to his flowers, the days passed by quite comfortably.
Si Limo approached her from behind, wrapping his arms around her to enjoy the bustling foreign streets along with her.
Together, they enjoyed a rare moment of tranquility.
The morning passed by swiftly. Xiaren stayed in while Weini went out and came back with a bunch of stuff to help her set up an account on the DouDou Live Streaming Platform.
In the afternoon, the DouDou Live Streaming Platform invited Xiaren to interact with fans as a guest. It was her first appearance after the viewing ratings of ‘Demon Flame’ skyrocketed.
