Chapter 22(1/2)
Zhao Nanxiao settled in his arms for a moment, suddenly turned his head, almost collided with his face, and hurriedly turned to the side again, avoiding the burning breath that he rushed towards his cheek.
She looked at his eyes that were either stimulated by alcohol and were a little redder than before, or was frightened, and her heart was beating and said in a calm voice: "Xu Shu, you are drunk! Just think about it yourself and know that this is impossible! Stop talking nonsense! Let me go!"
He didn't let go, and looked at her with red eyes: "Why is Ye Zhizhou possible, but I can't? I'm not as good as him? I won't like you at all. I won't want you even more. No matter what happens, I won't want you. I will put you in my palms, love you, like you, and protect you for the rest of my life!"
It was really hard for Zhao Nanxiao to imagine that he would say such "love words". He didn't care about his misinterpretation of his own meaning for a while, and a thin layer of red clouds surged out of his face, and I don't know if it was shame or anger.
After a pause, her tone became stiff.
"Xu Shu, you are really drunk! Let go of me!"
He seemed to be angry with her, but he still stubbornly refused to let go.
"Now!" She raised the volume.
He looked at her face that showed a furious look, and gradually, holding her arms loosened.
She hurriedly stepped back and finally broke out of his arms.
"I'm not drunk."
He didn't continue to catch up with her anymore, standing there, but he still looked at her like that and said slowly.
Zhao Nanxiao stopped unconsciously.
"I know what I'm doing, too," he said again.
"I liked you when I was in middle school. I kept holding on and didn't dare to let you know. I was a person who was not motivated, but I worked so hard, just hoping that one day you can see my efforts and you can fall in love with me. After so many years, I now know that I am too stupid. Why do I have to wait for you to discover it yourself, why are you afraid of being rejected by you, and why don't you tell you earlier?"
He paused.
"Zhao Nanxiao, I like you. I can't forget you since I met you when I was fourteen."
"I want you to be my girlfriend."
He said word by word, with a solemn tone.
Zhao Nanxiao's face turned redder, and she was a little flustered. She avoided his gaze and did not dare to look at the eyes he was looking at at his eyes.
"Xu Shu," she hesitated for a while, and called out his name with some difficulty.
"I……"
"I know I used to be a bastard!"
He interrupted her.
"I'm not a good thing. But I know it's wrong. Do you know how I came here at the end of the second semester of sophomore year, the night when you got engaged to Ye Zhizhou? That night, I almost gave up on myself completely, but in the end, I stopped it. I used cold water toppings and said to myself, Xu Shu, don't be fooled, maybe I still have the right to pursue her again in the future. If she really falls like this, she will never look at you again in this life. After so many years of love, she can't just turn into shit."
"It's been four years now! The one with the surname Ye is already a thing of the past. Zhao Nanxiao, don't hide, look at me! Why don't you try to get along with me and give me a chance? Just because I was born later than you, such a damn year?"
Zhao Nanxiao was in a state of confusion and felt that he had no place to put his hands and feet. He heard that he was aggressively asking him to look at him, and he barely calmed down his mind, and met his eyes that were always staring at him.
"Xu Shu, don't do this. You surprised me. I always thought we..."
"Stop talking!"
He interrupted her again, and his expression became excited.
"Zhao Nanxiao, I know what you are going to say! I'm fucking brother! I want to be your boyfriend! I want to sleep with you, I'll sleep with you alone in my life. I'm so straightforward, right?"
Zhao Nanxiao's face suddenly turned bloody, and she turned her back to him.
"I don't want to hear you say all this! You drink too much at night! Give me a sleep! Just wake up!"
The room became quiet.
She waited for a while, but before she heard the movement of him leaving, she stepped towards the door and wanted to open the door for him. When she was about to reach the door, he suddenly chased after him.
Before she could react, she was blocked behind the door by him.
He pushed her very close, and the two of them were so close, and he was so tall that the space left for her was even narrower.
She was forced to stop in the corner, looking at his red eyes looking down at her, and smelling a breath of danger.
She immediately stretched out her hand to block his approaching, and said angrily: "Xu Shu, you..." Before she finished speaking, her hand was held by him and pulled it for a moment. She couldn't help but pounce into his chest.
"ah--"
Zhao Nanxiao exclaimed in a low voice. Before the person could react, he lowered his head the next second, pressed his lips over, without any temptation, and was extremely determined. The kiss directly bullied her lips that had just opened and had not had time to close.
Zhao Nanxiao was completely shocked because of his intimate and domineering absurd behavior.
But she didn't have time to think about anything more. Her breath was quickly filled with the young man's strong aura that seemed to be carrying alcohol and hormonal impulse. She was familiar and unfamiliar. She was quickly so anxious that she couldn't breathe freely. Moreover, his kiss was more plundering and conquest than kissing, which made her feel a little painful.
She shook her head desperately and struggled hard, hoping that he would let go of himself first. But instead of letting go, he relied on his huge physical advantage to completely shackle her in the corner of the door so that he could continue his kiss more smoothly.
Zhao Nanxiao was really angry now and raised his knee and pushed him.
She didn't use all her strength, but had some restraint.
But that's enough.
He groaned, as if he had been hit hard, suddenly stopped, slowly letting go of her, finally bent down, put his forehead against the wall beside her face, closed his eyes, and showed a painful expression on his face.
Zhao Nanxiao finally gained freedom, took a breath of fresh air that was urgently needed in his lungs, took the opportunity to quickly break free from his shackles, and walked out of the corner.
"Are you awake now?" she asked him.
He was motionless at first, and after a moment, he finally recovered a little, slowly straightened his body, turned his head, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't dare, with red eyes, just looking at her.
Zhao Nanxiao didn't go to see him, so he opened the door with a hard heart and pointed at the door: "Go back and wake up your wine! For the sake of our childhood, I just pretend that you were drunk and crazy at night!"
"I don't……"
His shoulders moved slightly, as if he was about to walk towards her.
"go back!"
He stopped again, closed his mouth, and finally, dejected and walked out slowly.
Zhao Nanxiao closed the door, leaned his back behind the door, closed his eyes, and took a long breath.
The winter night in the mountains with snow outside the window was silent, but she could no longer fall asleep. It seemed that someone was constantly making trouble in her mind, and her mood became even more messy.
Just before tonight, she really never thought that Xu Shu, the person who always made her angry but couldn't really get angry with him, would actually confess to him like this.
She didn't know what he said had happened to him on the night she was engaged. But she still has not forgotten the scene of that night.
Her engagement banquet came that night, many guests, from grandpa and parents, and from Ye’s family. Most of them were people with social status, either professors or scholars, or people in the officialdom or business world.
She had actually seen him coming a long time ago. The young man had a lonely shadow with a deep eyes. She stood behind the guests who were completely different from him, out of place and too conspicuous.
He will come tonight, she was a little surprised and had a little conflicted mood, but she quickly let it go.
After all, after knowing each other for so many years, there is no unresolvable hatred between them. It’s just that they each have their own living circles in the past two years. People who used to go to and from school to and from the subway together have grown up, but now they are getting farther and farther away.
She was about to ask Ye Zhizhou to greet him, but turned around again, but found that he was no longer in his original place.
She looked at the banquet scene and couldn't find him. She knew that he should be here on behalf of his father. Now that she has left, she gave up and continued to talk and laugh with the guests with Ye Zhizhou, accepting the good wishes from them.
The banquet was almost over, and it was not too late at night. Grandpa and mother were talking with some old friends. Seeing that it would not be over in a short period of time, she felt a little tired, so she asked Ye Zhizhou to send her home first.
In the car, Ye Zhizhou invited her to see their future wedding houses, saying that they were all decorated according to her preferences. She was probably tired, but she didn't really want to go there, but when she saw the anticipated look he had cast, she couldn't bear to refuse, so she agreed.
Their future house is in Haitang Bay, a high-end community, with a large area. She followed Ye Zhizhou to visit all the rooms and finally came to the master bedroom, the most private space for them to live together in the future.
He asked her if she liked it.
She nodded.
It's really good, she likes it very much.
When he was about to leave, Ye Zhizhou suddenly held her hand gently behind the door, hugged her, kissed her, and then asked her in her ear, if she could stay tonight.
Of course she understood his expectations, after all, he was a normal adult man.
He has been in love with him for two years. Tonight they are engaged with the testimony and blessings of so many relatives and friends on both sides. It will be a surefire couple in the future. He will soon go abroad and get together in the future.
Regarding this matter, my always enlightened mother actually talked to her privately a few days before her engagement. Her mother said that she respected her own wishes, whether it is now or in the future, the problem is actually not big, so she can just remind her to take precautions.
From a deep thought, Zhao Nanxiao felt that he did not have such expectations. But in the end he could not bear to refuse Ye Zhizhou. After all, he loved her so much and was so kind to her. He has always respected her very much. He had been alone in private several times. He clearly wanted to do so, but he never forced her to do anything. This moved her very much, felt happy, and felt loved.
What is love? She had no experience and did not understand it very well. But I think, isn’t love a river that flows through long and long flows, and is it a river formed by such seemingly subtle things?
Finally, she nodded.
He carried her into the bedroom.
She locked the bathroom door, took a shower, and waited for him to come out of the shower, turned off the lights, and sat alone in the bed of the dim room covered by the night. She felt nervous and restless as she listened to the sound of water making.
The sound of water stopped. She knew that he was about to come out, and suddenly she felt panic and short of breath.
The air outlet of the central air conditioner was sending a cool wind, but she felt like she was about to be unable to breathe.
She got out of bed and walked to the window, opened a small curtain, pushed it open, and wanted to breathe the air outside. When she lowered her head, she saw someone standing next to the green belt downstairs, smoking.
The street lights were more than ten steps away, and the light could not shine there. The man stood in the shadows, and the floor was high, so she didn't see them clearly, but for some reason, she felt familiar.
The figure she saw at the banquet scene tonight immediately appeared in front of her eyes, who seemed a little lonely.
Before she could look again, the bathroom door opened and Ye Zhizhou came out.
She hurriedly pulled up the curtains as if nothing had happened.
