Chapter 276 Response
Ji Yubai felt a warm, soft sensation against his chest.
He was only wrapped in a bath towel, but because Zhong Lingxi clung to him so tightly, he broke out in a thin layer of sweat, which made him feel agitated.
Although he has great self-control, if things continue to develop, they will definitely get out of control.
Ji Yubai suddenly threw off the covers and stood up abruptly. "I'm going to sleep on the sofa in the living room."
"It's so dark, I'm scared, I can't be here alone," Zhong Lingxi said in a frightened voice, her voice tinged with a low plea.
Ji Yubai couldn't bear to leave her alone in fear, so he could only clutch the towel around his waist and lie back on the bed.
The two remained silent for a long time, but it was clear that neither of them could fall asleep.
As the night grew quiet, even the sound of traffic on the street disappeared.
"I wonder when we'll have electricity again?" Zhong Lingxi said sadly, looking quite distressed.
In the dark, with less visual interference, human senses are at their most acute.
The faint, lingering fragrance emanating from Lingxi, combined with her body heat, rushed towards his bare skin, constantly testing his patience.
Ji Yubai lay supine on the edge of the bed, his muscles like a fully drawn bow, ready to release the arrow at any moment.
"They should be working on it tonight, and it should be fixed by tomorrow morning."
His voice was slow and deep, as if he was trying his best to suppress something.
Zhong Lingxi noticed his unusual behavior.
The two did share a bed while traveling in Paris.
I didn't see him acting this strangely at the time. Could it be that his body odor overwhelmed him?
Zhong Lingxi was puzzled, so she pulled up a strand of hair and sniffed it.
It has a flavor, but it's not strong.
"What's wrong? Is the smell of hot pot in my hair making you feel uncomfortable?"
She wanted to wash her hair, but there wasn't enough water, the power was out, and she couldn't use the hair dryer.
Ji Yubai was both amused and exasperated. How could Lingxi think that way?
"No, it's my own problem."
"What's the problem?" Zhong Lingxi pressed.
Ji Yubai felt a lump in his throat; this... he couldn't say.
Zhong Ling was pleased and called Ji Yubai up, intending to discuss the issues between the two of them.
They couldn't say it earlier, and now that the power's out, they're lying together.
The power outage might be fate, a reminder from God, giving her a chance.
Thinking of this, she spoke first.
“I sensed what you were saying at the bathroom door earlier. There are some unspoken but real obstacles between us. Unlike Xiaoyue and the president, our relationship is natural and comfortable. I wish our relationship could be like that.”
“I don’t know if it’s because I’m too domineering and always bully you that things have turned out this way between us.” Zhong Lingxi’s voice choked as she spoke. “If it’s my fault, I’m willing to change.”
"What I really meant when I said I didn't want you to listen to me so much was that you shouldn't always give in to me, shouldn't always go along with me, and shouldn't treat me so carefully."
As Zhong Lingxi finished speaking, tears welled up in her eyes.
Ji Yubai was at a loss, unable to find any tissues.
In desperation, he had no choice but to use his hands to grope in the darkness and gently wipe away the tears on Zhong Lingxi's face.
“You’re my wife, the person I’m going to spend my life with, so of course I’ll do whatever you want and I’m happy to listen to you. If my actions bother you, I’ll change. This is my first time dating, it’s my fault, I have no experience, and I can’t even please my wife.”
Ji Yubai's words were a complete smear, taking full responsibility for everything.
Zhong Lingxi felt a mix of emotions: happiness, joy, self-blame, regret, and annoyance...
"Ha~" Zhong Lingxi laughed self-deprecatingly, "I don't even know why I'm crying? How ridiculous..."
Seeing his beloved both crying and laughing, Ji Yubai felt as if his heart was being squeezed.
He lowered his head and precisely kissed those self-deprecating lips.
Lingxi is so good, we mustn't allow her to say anything that belittles herself.
"Woo~"
No matter how much Zhong Lingxi wanted to say, it was all silenced by Ji Yubai's sudden kiss.
He kissed her gently, sucking and licking slowly, as if he wanted to pour all his love into the tender kiss.
He used a kiss to tell Lingxi how much he loved her and how important she was to him.
Zhong Lingxi gripped his arm tightly with both hands; the unpleasant first experience made her afraid and nervous.
However, Ji Yubai did not take any further action besides kissing him.
To go a little further, I kissed her a bit too hard and hurt her tongue.
Gradually, Zhong Lingxi relaxed and carefully felt his presence.
Ji Yubai is her fiancé.
He loved her, cherished her, and cared about her feelings.
She should also make changes.
After a long while, Ji Yubai released Zhong Lingxi's lips and pulled her into his arms.
He held her so tightly in his arms, as if he wanted to meld her into his body.
In the darkness, two hearts are pressed together, feeling each other's beating.
"Neither of us did anything wrong; we were just too concerned about the other person's feelings."
A slightly hoarse male voice echoed in her ears, his breath almost imperceptible, like a light feather, making Lingxi's heart itch.
"I want to hold your hand, I want to hug you, I want to kiss you, and even..." Ji Yubai's Adam's apple bobbed as he pressed his lips against her delicate, burning earlobe, "I want to have more physical intimacy with you."
Upon hearing this, Zhong Lingxi suddenly understood why Ji Yubai was acting strangely tonight.
Her cheeks flushed because of Ji Yubai's words.
She should make a change; she might as well go all the way...
Zhong Lingxi made up her mind, tilted her head slightly, and kissed the Adam's apple that was so close to hers.
She also mustered her courage and leaned her waist a little closer to Ji Yubai's chest.
Suddenly, Ji Yubai felt the taut string in his body snap completely.
"Lingxi, do you know what you're doing?"
His voice was deep and hoarse, and his breathing became much heavier.
"I think."
With just two simple words in response, Ji Yubai felt as if his blood had been doused with gasoline and was surging through his body, consuming all his reason.
He could no longer restrain himself; he lowered his head and once again pressed his lips to hers, soft and alluring.
A hurried, haphazard kiss, a broad, burning embrace.
Zhong Lingxi felt as if she had come back to life, and awkwardly responded to her lover.
