Chapter 53: "Don't Sleep, Wait for Me."

Chapter 53: "Don't Sleep, Wait for Me."

The moon shyly hid into the clouds; the wind was also particularly gentle tonight, quietly passing through the windows to the front door and trying to blow the woman's long hair. But it was blocked off by the man's shoulder and back.

Under Shi Yan's shackles, their breathings intertwined as strong as the hot summer sun.

While having his hand around Zheng Shuyi's waist and the aftereffects of wine coming up, he still waited extremely patiently for her answer.

Yet Zheng Shuyi's eyes were in a daze and the person in front of her looked blurry.

She opened her mouth, and whimpered under Shi Yan's gaze, "Only like you, I only like you."

The response was another wave of light kisses.

Unlike the aggressiveness before, Shi Yan was now much softer, and his fingers also went through her hairs, slowly brushing them down over and over again.

The night wind blew on Zheng Shuyi through in between his fingers.

The wind was cold, but his kiss was burning hot. Wherever his lips touched, she would feel numb as if she had been shocked. This made her throat make some soft noises uncontrollably.

She blushed and was ashamed of the sound she was making, but she couldn't stop herself. Even her hands started to naturally touch Shi Yan's neck.

After a long time, when Shi Yan's lips left, she raised her head. Only then did she see that his eyes were very dazed, and even the cold lenses couldn't cover the drunkness from them.

He really did drink too much.

He closed his eyes and let out a quiet "Mm."

Mm.

That's it?

For some reason, his "Mm" sounded like "I[1] see, good to know" feeling.

Shi Yan just looked at her, his eyes looked very drunk, nothing like their usual bitterness and coldness. His eyelashes fanned lightly, but it didn't help in making his gaze look gentle.

His hand was as if it was on fire, touching her skin inch by inch. He was also staring directly at where his hand was.

Zheng Shuyi became beyond shy by his stare, he made it seem like she was standing in front of him naked.

She let go of her hands around him and slowly slid downwards against the ice-cold door. After the burning sensation in her hands slowly went away, she finally said quietly, "What are you looking at" looking," Shi Yan lifted her chin and studied her carefully, "Looking at your bemused face after being kissed and the way your hair is messy."

His voice was quiet, but it instantly messed up Zheng Shuyi's breathing again.

His other hand swept across the corners of Zheng Shuyi's eye, "And your tears."

Being kissed to tears was not something to be proud of.

Zheng Shuyi looked away. Her breathing still wasn't very even, but it wasn't the suffocating feeling from before. At the moment, all she felt was that her chest was full of hot air and she was barely keeping her consciousness.

And Shi Yan's phone has been constantly vibrating.

It has been twenty minutes since Shi Yan left the banquet already, Chen Sheng has been constantly reminding him.

Shi Yan's hand slipped to the side of Zheng Shuyi's face. While holding her cheek, he whispered, "Wait for me to come back."

Zheng Shuyi blinked her eyes, "Ah? You're leaving?"

"You don't want me to leave?"

After experiencing the thunder and fire, Zheng Shuyi slowly got back to her senses. She started to understand that Shi Yan's appearance probably wasn't a coincidence. He should be doing something right now and rushed here while in the middle of it.

From the smell of wine from him, it was probably a gathering banquet.

"No" Zheng Shuyi pushed on his chest, "You can go, I want to sleep now."

"Don't sleep, wait for me."

He looked up at the door behind her, and his tone sank, "And don't open the door for strangers, understand?"

Strangers

Zheng Shuyi had to clench her teeth to make sure she didn't accidentally laugh, "I understand, you should hurry now."

In the corridor outside the door, Yue Xingzhou still hasn't left yet.

In the past ten or so minutes, he stood quietly at the door and finally remembered who the man that just suddenly appeared was.

He couldn't see the heat going on inside, but as a man himself, he could clearly tell what another drunk man would be doing after charging into a woman's house.

He could only force himself not to imagine.

But each occasional subtle noise at the door was like pushing a button to explode a bomb. No matter how hard he tried to lie to himself, the scene behind the door still seemed to be playing in front of his eyes.

Imagination has always been more torturing than seeing with one's own eyes.

Yue Xingzhou could feel the lustful sounds pouring into his ears.

He couldn't tell whether it was just hallucinations or reality anymore. His head was buzzing and his feet were having trouble supporting him.

At this moment, the door opened.

Quiet, calm.

As if nothing happened inside.

Yue Xingzhou continued to lie to himself.

Nothing happened.

He was relieved at first, but then, he saw Shi Yan immediately closing the door after him, before he was even able to take a peek inside.

Immediately afterward, Shi Yan walked towards him.

At the same time, he raised his hand and used his thumb to erase the red lipstick marks on his lips.

Because of that red mark, those imaginary images became even more real and were presented in front of his eyes.

Yue Xingzhou forced himself to look away, but all he saw was his messy shirt.

"Don't appear in front of her again."

Shi Yan's voice wasn't loud, but it landed on Yue Xingzhou like a heavy hammer, "Is that possible?"

His tone didn't sound like he was asking at all.

But Yue Xingzhou didn't have anything now.

He had nothing to lose.

"We what?" Bi Ruoshan insisted, "Go ahead?"

Sigh.

How can I tell this to her?

Zheng Shuyi's silence gave Bi Ruoshan an opportunity to use her infinite imagination.

"Holy shit! Zheng Shuyi, impressive, you hit a home run already? I didn't know you're so well at playing before! If you knew you could take him down so easily, then why did you spend all the effort before?"

"What the hell are you saying?" Zheng Shuyi quickly interrupted her, "We just kissed, kissed, understand? Kiss!"

Having the imagination just now, Bi Ruoshan suddenly felt like a kiss was nothing compared to that.

She boringly turned her lips to one side and said, "Whatever, then how are you calling me right now? Where is he?"

"He left."

Bi Ruoshan was very surprised, "Ah? He left?"

"He's busy." Zheng Shuyi sounded a little proud, "He came while in the middle of something."

"Tsk."

Zheng Shuyi immediately added, "He'll be back later."

Bi Ruoshan laughed, "Back to your house?"

"Yeah," Zheng Shuyi replied.

"Tsk."

Zheng Shuyi: ""

"What's wrong with you? What's up with all the tsk'.

"Nothing. Quick reminder, have you prepared anything in your house yet?"

Bi Ruoshan's tone seemed to be in a rush and she said meaningfully, "Don't take a long break from work right now when it's about time for the end-of-year report."

"What are you talking about?"

"I'm not joking, otherwise why would he come to your house at night?"

"Enough already, send me your flight information, I'll come to pick you up tomorrow night.

To cover her unconcentrated mind, she quickly hung up.

But when she ate, her mind was full of Shi Yan's tone and demeanor when he left.

His wine-full breath sounded over and over again by her ears, "Don't sleep, wait for me.

Her cheeks started to turn red again.

She didn't want to think about it again, but she couldn't stop herself. It was like an aftertaste, and her body greedily enjoyed every second of it.

She took more than half an hour to finish this takeaway.

Zheng Shuyi cleaned up her table and sat down to read some files.

But she couldn't calm herself down at all.

The sentence "Don't sleep, wait for me", and Bi Ruoshan's "Don't take a long break" kept coming back into Zheng Shuyi's mind.

The two voices altered in her ears like a magical spell, which had a strong brainwashing effect.

Before she even realized it, she had already put on her coat and walked to the front door.

After opening the door, a gust of wind blew on her face, bringing her back to reality for a bit. She didn't know whether it was just an impulsive action or whether it was a reasonable decision.

What if!

What if Shi Yan's instincts took over his reasoning?

Zheng Shuyi scratched her head and sneakily walked out.

Yet just after one step, she raised her head and saw Shi Yan walking towards her outside of the elevator.

Zheng Shuyi: ""

She retracted her foot with guilt.

But it didn't escape Shi Yan's eyes.

Instead, he stopped, slowly looked at the well-dressed Zheng Shuyi, and asked, "Where are you going?"

Zheng Shuyi was stunned and looked at him, "To your heart."

She didn't know if it was an illusion, but she saw a speechless expression on Shi Yan.

He walked directly into her house and grabbed her wrist and brought her in along the way.

Zheng Shuyi looked at the way he was entering her house and suddenly grew angry again. She pulled back from his hand and refused to move.

Shi Yan looked back. When his eyes landed on her, the shadow from the lights above reflected the drunkness from his eyes.

It was stronger than before.

Zheng Shuyi could feel the heat from his palm, but she didn't know that because Shi Yan left for that 30 minutes, he had to drink a lot more wine as an apology.

"What is it?"

Shi Yan asked.

Zheng Shuyi looked at him with a smile and an obvious hint in her eyes.

"Who are you? Entering my house like that."

"I'm your landlord."

Zheng Shuyi: "???"

Is is this apartment complex also his property?

Seeing her confused expression, Shi Yan felt like he was even more drunk than before.

He lowered his head, approached Zheng Shuyi's neck, and took a deep breath.

"Don't you want to come into my heart?"
