Wen Nian realized that this situation was a dead end. She felt that continuing to talk would not lead to any resolution. She turned around, facing away from Shen Jun, and lay down. As soon as her head touched the pillow, tears welled up in her eyes. She quickly pulled the blanket over her head.
Shen Jun noticed this and leaned down, wanting to pull the blanket away. Worriedly, he said, “Don’t cover your head; it’s not good for your breathing.”
Wen Nian tightly held onto the blanket, and it was only then that Shen Jun sensed something was wrong. He forcefully pulled the blanket back, only to see Wen Nian’s tear-streaked face after just a moment. He quickly hugged her and comforted, “I was wrong. Please don’t cry. I believe whatever you say, okay?” Shen Jun tried to console her for a long time, but the more he comforted her, the less control Wen Nian had over her tears. Moreover, she already felt deeply aggrieved about this matter. She buried her face in the pillow and cried, saying, “Just go. I don’t want to see you right now.”
Shen Jun held Wen Nian tightly, burying his face in her hair, and softly said, “If 1 go, who will my little kitty’s tears? As long as you stop crying, I’ll do anything you ask.”
Wen Nian thought about how if they were to break up, all these gestures of comfort would be Jiang Chun’s. It made her feel even more miserable, and she continued to shed tears for a while before gradually stopping. She gazed blankly at the night view of the ancient town outside the floor-to-ceiling window.
Shen Jun took a tissue and gently wiped away Wen Nian’s tears. He looked at her with tenderness and said, “My little kitten, you can get angry at me, scold me, and hit me. But you’re not allowed to cry. Your tears make my heart ache like it’s being stabbed by a knife.”
Wen Nian turned over and lay flat on the bed, watching as Shen Jun attentively wiped away her tears, as well as the sweat-soaked hair at her temples from crying. She cupped Shen Jun’s face with her hand and looked into his eyes, determined to make one final effort. “After knowing me for so long, do you think I’m an unreasonable person?”
Shen Jun looked at Wen Nian’s serious expression and was stunned for a moment. He didn’t say anything.
Wen Nian continued, “I don’t have any evidence to prove what 1 said, but Jiang Chun isn’t the way you perceive her. She truly has feelings for you, but she’s skilled at concealing them, so you can’t see it. In your eyes, am I someone who would falsely accuse others?”
Shen Jun’s gaze wavered. Jiang Chun’s childhood enthusiasm and kindness had left a lasting impression on him, and it was natural for him to have certain expectations of her after their reunion. However, upon careful consideration, people change, especially after not seeing each other for over a decade.
On the other hand, Wen Nian was his partner, whom he spent every day with. Now, setting aside his perception of Jiang Chun, Shen Jun would choose to believe Wen Nian.
Looking into Wen Nian’s clear eyes, Shen Jun said, “Although I don’t know if Jiang Chun is as you speculate, there may be misunderstandings, or maybe not. But I believe you.”
Wen Nian revealed a genuine smile from the depths of her heart. Her slightly swollen eyes narrowed into slits as she laughed, causing Shen Jun to chuckle uncontrollably. He pinched Wen Nian’s nose and said, “You, you’re simply my nemesis.”
After the two of them talked it out, Wen Nian’s mood greatly improved.
Shen Jun turned off the light to prepare for sleep and turned to see Wen Nian still sitting there, gazing at the lively scene of the town center outside the window. The guest room was on the 20th floor, providing an unobstructed view of the entire town, as the buildings in the ancient town were no more than three stories high.
Wen Nian felt a bit regretful and pouted as she said to Shen Jun, “We could have had a great time tonight. It’s all wasted now.”
Shen Jun hugged Wen Nian in his arms and suggested, “Then let’s stay for another night. There’s no rush to go back anyway.”
Wen Nian nodded excitedly. The moonlight was perfect, and the atmosphere was right. Shen Jun lowered his head, looking at Wen Nian, and couldn’t help but lower his head to capture her lips.
Sometimes, arguments not only solve problems but also bring people closer. The previous barriers had dissipated after this turmoil. Wen Nian lifted her head slightly, responding to Shen Jun.
In the depths of their passion, Shen Jun slipped his hand under Wen Nian’s sleepwear, and the soft and delicate sensation of her skin beneath his fingers made his breath grow heavy. The strength in his hand involuntarily increased.
Wen Nian’s moans escaped from the corners of her lips as Shen Jun passionately ravished her with his tongue.
After their intimate encounter, Wen Nian weakly lay on top of Shen Jun, smiling and jokingly said, “Are you determined to be a virtuous gentleman like Liu Xiahui? Or can you not do it?”
Shen Jun squeezed Wen Nian’s slender waist, causing her to gasp in surprise, but he satisfiedly revealed a playful smile. “Wait until we go back to the capital, and I’ll show you if I can or not!”
Shen Jun firmly believed that sexual intimacy should happen after both parties have reached adulthood, and he didn’t want their first time to be in such a casual setting. After careful consideration, he felt that it would be more appropriate for them to prepare for this matter when they returned to the capital..
