A sigh escaped from Lu Boyanâs lips. He held her and put his chin on her skinny shoulder.
In fact, her shoulder was so skinny that there was no extra flesh. It was not comfortable, but Lu Boyan still wanted to lay his head on it to pass his weight to her. He wrapped his arms around her waist to put down the weight on his shoulder for a brief time.
Many times, Su Jianan supported him and gave him strength. However, right now, he just wanted to hold her in his arms to feel her body.
âActually, Iâm in a bad mood too.â Su Jiananâs hands crawled on his back to his shoulders. âWhen you brought up your dad, I was thinking of my mom. She left so suddenly that it completely changed my life and my everything. My dad became the enemy of my brother and me. You canât imagine how awful it is to fall out with your families.â
âBut the change didnât ruin me. I know that my mom is watching over me up there, so I tell her that Iâm fine and Iâm in safe hands every day to make her feel alright, as if she were still by my side.â
Lu Boyan held her even tighter. âJianan, come what may, as long as Iâm still alive, I wonât let anything happen to you.â
Su Jianan knitted her beautiful brows. âAs long as youâre still alive? Of course youâll grow old and ugly with me. I want to see the way your teeth fall out, because it must be... hmm...â
Lu Boyan suddenly kissed on her lips. Then, she was longer holding Lu Boyan. Instead, Lu Boyan cuddled her completely in his arms. His warm and passionate kisses were washing over her and immediately drowned her.
His warm lips still taste like aromatic wine. In fact, Su Jianan did not drink much, but she felt somewhat drunk. Her body slowly fell into Lu Boyanâs arms and she started involuntarily responded his kisses.
It was not the first time that they had kissed, but this was the first time that both of them had felt spontaneous and done it willingly. They both had expected this and after it started, they responded to each other. They hugged and breathed each otherâs breath, as if they could kiss until the world ended.
However, Su Jianan still had not learned how to breathe right, so soon she was out of breath. Lu Boyan kissed her deeply for a few times and let go of her.
This was also the first time that after a series of passionate kisses, they had not acted awkward or embarrassed.
Warm lights cast on the wine cabinet, leaving Su Jiananâs blossom-like eyes blurry. She slightly raised the corner of her lips and swirled the drink in front of Lu Boyan. âYou said that I canât drink outside home, I remember that. But now Iâm home and youâre with me, can I drink as I like?â
Lu Boyan squinted his narrow eyes. âDonât you think I might do something to you if you get drunk?â
Su Jianan just smiled. âIf both of us get drunk, actually, nothing will happen. Those cheesy soap operas are nothing real!â
Lu Boyan sighedâshe was still too naive. Did the weak her really think heâll be as drunk as her?
Someone who still yet to know the cruel world clinked her glass on his. She took a shot and drank a lesser half of it. Tasting the wineâs unique flavour, she involuntarily licked her lips.
The scarlet tip of her tongue was moist and reflecting the lights, appearing alluring in the warm lights. Lu Boyan almost flustered and looked away, and he managed to suppress the emotion by another sip of wine.
Su Jianan was really weak in terms of drinking, so soon she was feeling tipsy. However, she tried to stay sober to talk with him. âYou dad must have hoped that youâll have a beautiful life too, so you donât need to get upset...â
Lu Boyan ruffled her hair. âYouâre drunk.â
Su Jianan answered with a âyesâ and shook her head, because she found there were many... Lu Boyan before her.
âLu Boyan...â She reached out for him. âHmm, thereâs so many you. I think... Iâm really drunk...â
Lu Boyan took her hand to let her lean against him. âIâll take you to the bedroom.â
Su Jianan grinned and threw herself into Lu Boyanâs arms like a coy girl. âI want you to take me.â
She was really drunk, otherwise, she would not have played coy in front of him like this.
Thus, Lu Boyan had to pick Su Jianan up. However, she seemed to tease him by wriggling in his arms, making his heart itchy and his muscles stiff.
In the end, she grinned wickedly and rubbed her hands against his playfully. That was when Lu Boyan finally knew for sure that she did it deliberately.
âTry that again.â Lu Boyan gently reminded her. âRemember that Iâm not drunk. If I want to do something to you, you canât resist it at all.â
Su Jianan widened her eyes and nodded. She almost stopped in an instant and mumbled like a misbehaving kid. âHubby, I was wrong...â
Maybe it was because of the alcohol, her voice sounded even sultrier than usual. She was a little tipsy and looked cuter. Her bright eyes reminded people of those of innocent kittens. Lu Boyan found it even harder to resist than her wriggling in his arms. Thus, he had to pick up the pace to send her back to the bedroom.
When he finally lay her down on the bed, she actually started to cry and shouted ânoâ nonstop.
âI donât think Iâll let you drink even at home!â Lu Boyan had to squat down by the bed to comfort her. âDonât cry. Sleep well. I wonât do anything to you.â
âI donât... I donât want...â Su Jian seemed to totally ignore his words.
Lu Boyan was feeling a headache and rubbed his temple. âYou donât want what?â
Su Jianan suddenly fell silent and looked into him. Then, she smiled. âHoney, I donât want to sleep alone.â
In fact, she was only wearing a typical style of cotton pajamas. However, at the moment, Lu Boyan found her as sexy as a tempting kitten, and the emotion inside him almost stopped him from thinking rationally to have the one he had always craved for.
However, in the end, his remaining will kept him awake.
âIâm here with you.â His voice was much lower than before. âYouâre not sleeping alone. Donât be afraid. Close your eyes, OK?â
Su Jianan pursed her lips, upset. âWhy donât you sleep on the bed with me?â
Lu Boyan swallowed. âJianan...â âDoesnât she know that this is like an invitation?â
âYou donât love me, right?â Apparently, Su Jianan did not know it, because her eyes turned red and she suddenly acted like a spoiled little girl. âI knew it, you love someone else.â
Lu Boyan sighed and kissed her between her brows. Then, she finally stopped crying and just stared at her with an upset face.
Thus, he had to lie on the bed to hold Su Jianan into his arms. âI wonât love anyone else. You just sleep well, OK?â
Like a kid who finally got their favorite candies, Su Jianan happily held Lu Boyanâs waist and buried her face in his arms. She then kissed him and mumbled in a soft voice that could almost trap people. âHoney...â
Lu Boyan suddenly felt pleased. He was caressing her head, wanting to take back what he just saidâSometimes, it was OK for Su Jianan to drink a little.
However, the drunk Su Jianan was much more energetic than he had imagined.
She suddenly crawled out of the quilt, staring at him with a pair of deer eyes like glowing onyx in the dark. âHoney, Iâve got something for you!â
Lu Boyan was intrigued. âShow me.â
Su Jianan obediently took out a box from the bedside table and presented it in front of him like a piece of treasure. âOpen it, cost almost a monthâs salary.â
Lu Boyan opened it and found it was the tie. No wonder that when he asked her that if they should buy it, she said it did not suit Su Yicheng.
It turned out that she thought it suited him.
Su Jianan bent down near to him, snickering. âI bought it after I got my milk tea. What do you think? Do you like it?â
âYes, I do.â Lu Boyan readily pulled her into his arms and kissed her on the forehead. âItâs late. Go to sleep.â
Su Jianan would not stop wriggling. âThen wear it tomorrow for me, OK?â
âOK.â Su Jianan had to promise her. âIâll put on the tie tomorrow.â
Satisfied, Su Jianan finally smiled and adjust her position in Lu Boyanâs arms to sleep comfortably. Then, she fell asleep in a good mood.
After making sure that she would not bolt up again, Lu Boyan decided to lay her down to put away the tie. However, just when he moved, she suddenly clung to him, mumbling. âDonât go... donât.â
Her voice was as soft as water that flowed into his chest and soaked his heart. This was the first time that he had decided to flow with itâHe could resist them all, but not the one in his arms. She was the poison of his life.
They both slept well that night.
For the past year, Su Jianan was accustomed to waking up early on weekdays, so she slowly woke up nearly at 6 oâclock. However, she found her head heavy and felt very uncomfortable.
She felt like she was leaning against something, which was rather soothing though. Also, she was smelling something familiar that she found assuring and she felt that she could sleep on like this forever...
However, something was slightly wrong.
She recalled hard with her eyes closed and everything last night slowly came back to her mindâshe accidentally got drunk and begged Lu Boyan to take her back to the bedroom, and then... then...
Su Jianan gasped and opened her eyes in terror, totally sober now.
As expected, Lu Boyan was holding her, and her hands... were also wrapping around his waist.
It was too late to regret now, so she had to draw back her hands first. Next, she would sneak out of the room without waking up Lu Boyan.
However, one must know that Lu Boyan could not be more vigilant. Just when she retracted her hands, he opened his eyes and smiled. Then, he just cast a kiss on his forehead. âMorning.â
Su Jiananâs body froze for a second and forced a smile. â... Morning. Well, last night, I... I... Actually, I didnât usually act like that when I was drunk in front of other people! Iâd only fall asleep!â
âDo you mean that youâll only get coy when you get drunk with me?â Lu Boyan ruffled her hair. âGood girl.â
â...â Su Jian was speechless, what was in Lu Boyanâs mind! Why did she get the feeling that... she was making things worse?
She was supposed to explain more, but finally gave up upon seeing Lu Boyanâs meaningful smileâLu Boyan did not think as the normal people did. He might get a deeper meaning in whatever she said and make things even awkward.
âI... Iâll go brush my teeth.â
She hopped off the bed and rushed into the bathroom.
Lu Boyan looked at her figure and raised his lips. Then, he went back to his own room to wash himself as well.
In the bathroom.
Su Jianan stared at herself in the mirror and thought of everything that happened last night. She ruffled her hair, upset. Then, she let out a long howl in her heartâ
Calling him honey all the time and begging him to be with her and cuddle her?... How degenerate she had been! Could she get her good image back somehow?
She would never drink with Lu Boyan anymore!
