Chapter 171 - The Man Who Makes Out in the Corridor

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

This late at night, the corridor’s flickering sensor light suddenly went out.

This caused the already dim corridor to completely darken.

“Ah!” The sudden malfunctioning of the sensor light caused Pei Ge to miss her step and to momentarily lose her balance as she was going down the stairs.

Ah, ah, ah! I’m done for! I’m falling and I may cripple my legs as a result! It is mom’s fault for making me send Ji Ziming off! No, it should be this annoying person’s fault for coming over this late at night! If it weren’t for that, this would not happen!

In these few seconds, countless thoughts flashed through Pei Ge’s mind.

Just as Pei Ge was sure that she would tumble down the stairs, an arm suddenly shot out and stopped her fall.

The arm circled her waist, helped her regain her balance, and pulled her into a very strong chest.

Pu tong, pu tong! There was a strong heartbeat in her ear, but she was unsure whether it was hers or his.

Perhaps, it was the shock from her near fall that had caused her cheeks to feel warm.

In that moment, she had this sudden thought that owner of the arm and chest was someone she could rely on.

Ji Ziming felt the softness of the woman leaning on his chest and instinctively tightened his arm encircling her waist, inexplicably having the urge to hug her.

His nose caught a whiff of her scent, which might be her shampoo or perfume, and, although this fragrance was from a cheap product, he felt an unspeakable attraction to it.

It made him recall that night that they were entangled together in a room....

His eyes suddenly darkened as his arm shifted upward.

The soft feeling went from his body to his brain....

Darkness always heightened the feelings of people. This was originally a simple touch, but in the darkness surrounding them, it made him feel slightly feverish, instead, and, unknowingly, his breathing became shallow.

Pei Ge was not doing any better.

She initially felt safe leaning on the man’s chest behind her, but when he tightened his arm around her, she was shockingly stimulated.

It was obviously just a light touch, but it made that spot very hot, and her cheeks reddened as a result.

“You – You – I... I am stable now, so you can let go,” she stammered. She then bit her lower lip when her voice revealed a trace of shyness.

Pei Ge, wake up! What are you being shy about?!

Detecting the shyness in the woman’s voice in this darkness, he hugged her even tighter.

He liked the feel of her in his embrace and did not want to let go.

His palm subconsciously caressed her gently. Unfortunately, the weather was a bit cold, so she had worn a thick jacket, which was rough to touch, making him feel somewhat unsatisfied.

Whereas he was feeling disappointed, she was feeling shocked.

“What are you doing?! Let go of me now!” She was just thinking that the man behind her was somewhat reliable, but his roaming hand made her recall that he was actually a pervert!

She had been taken advantage of by him too many a time!

“No.” He rested his chin on her head and tightly hugged her. He seemed to be treating her as a big, plush toy the way he was hugging her.

“You, you!” Becoming aware of something resting on her head and feeling the man’s hot breath, she felt her scalp tingle and cheeks redden.

“I’m not your toy! You let go of me this instant!” she yelled in embarrassment.I knew it! How could this annoying person be someone reliable?! Satyr! Pervert! Possessive!

Just as the two were entangled together, the sounds of footsteps and voices came from downstairs.

Hearing this, she instantly froze up!

This building had six floors, and everyone living in it more or less knew each other.

If someone saw her being hugged by a man in the dark corridor....

Ahhh! She could not imagine it!

“Ji Ziming, you let go of me this instant! It’s not good if someone sees us!” she earnestly whispered as she turned to look at him.

She, however, was unaware that her action only fueled the man’s desire and that her warm breath that accidentally fanned his neck....

“Er...” She, who was persuading him to let go, was shocked to feel something hard down there.

“Ah, you pervert!” she reflexively yelled in shame and fury, her face flushing red.

Her shout attracted the attention of someone downstairs.

“Yi, I heard a voice coming from upstairs,” a clear female voice said.

“It seems to be a woman’s voice, but it is probably coming from a TV. After all, the walls here are thin,” a coarse male voice replied.

“The stairs’ sensor light is not lit up and it is dark, so there shouldn’t be anyone up there.”

“He he! Baby, that’s not definite. What if someone is at the corridor doing something exciting?”

“What nonsense are you blabbering about?”

“He he! Baby, why don’t we do something exciting, too?”

“Aiya, talk at home! In the corridor... I don’t know what your head is thinking.”

“Baby, it’s so late already, there won’t be anyone.”

“No, go home....”

The woman trailed off and no more sound came from downstairs save for someone sucking on something. In the stillness of the corridor, this lascivious sound easily reached Pei Ge’s ears.

“...” Pei Ge’s emotion almost collapsed!

What the hell?! Making out here in the open?! Don’t you guys know to do that behind closed doors?! Why make out in the corridor?!

She dare not move or make a sound.

She thought, If I frighten the couple downstairs, it’s going to be awkward.

Initially, she thought that the couple would leave after kissing, but....
