Chapter 396 - 395: Not Playing Both Sides
Xiyan yanked the blanket up forcefully, covering her small head and turning her back to Ou Jue.Ou Jue leaned down to pull the blanket, "Idiot, are you trying to suffocate yourself?"
Amid the tugging, Xiyan’s emotions flared up, "Go away! I don’t want to see you! Didn’t you say you couldn’t leave the other hospital? Oh, or are you talking about that girl you keep hidden in your heart? She’s staying at this hospital too, isn’t she? You’re just dropping by to see me, aren’t you?"
Ou Jue’s gaze darkened slightly, his voice raspy, "No."
"I don’t need your charity. Go take care of that girl you cherish so deeply. I don’t need you!"
"You think I’ll leave just because you tell me to? I won’t. I’ll take care of you, for a lifetime at least. Let go." As Ou Jue spoke, he forcibly pulled the blanket away from Xiyan’s head.
And then, he was met with those tear-streaked eyes.
Ou Jue’s breath stalled. He hurriedly reached out to wipe her tears, his movements clumsy, "Don’t cry, Xia Xiyan. I forbid you to cry."
"I told you to go away!!"
"Don’t cry..." Ou Jue held her tightly, his eyes filled with overflowing heartache.
There had never been a girl who could move his emotions like this.
When she smiled, his entire world lit up with her.
When she cried, he felt so much pain that he would lose his coherence, completely flustered.
The word "flustered" had once been foreign to the Ou Jue of the past.
Before he met Xia Xiyan, he had never experienced such feelings.
Xiyan’s voice trembled with sobs, "What even is this? Are you enjoying having one foot in two boats?"
Ou Jue held her tightly in his arms, his thin lips grazing lightly over her hair as he murmured in a low voice, "I am not two-timing. It was always you, and it still is..."
"Even now, you’re still trying to deny it? You stayed back a whole year in school for that girl. How deeply you must feel for her! Compared to her, what am I? What am I and everything we’ve been through to you? Ou Jue, let me make this clear—I cannot tolerate even a grain of sand in my eyes! In love, loyalty is the most important thing! If you can’t give me that, then let’s just... mmph—"
Before the words "break up" could leave her mouth, Ou Jue lowered his head and sealed her lips.
"Let go, mmph..." Xiyan struggled desperately, shoving at him.
But the more she resisted, the more intense the boy’s kisses became.
Overwhelming and domineering, he pried her teeth apart, his hot, damp tongue plunging in, tangling with hers and ravaging her senses.
He greedily stole every trace of her sweetness.
When he finally released her lips, Ou Jue pressed his forehead against hers, his breathing erratic, his voice hoarse to the point of breaking, "Those two words—break up—will never happen in this lifetime. Don’t even think about it."
Xiyan was left breathless, her mind deprived of oxygen, gasping for air.
Ou Jue, on the other hand, kissed away each and every one of her tears.
The usual arrogance, the overbearing aura he carried, was gone at this moment. His voice dropped low and rough, "That ’her’ in the hospital—she and I don’t share the kind of feelings a man and a woman do. My feelings for you... and for her... they’re not the same at all. Xia Xiyan, don’t doubt my love for you. I really... I’d go insane."
I’d really, go insane.
Those words unexpectedly sent a strange flutter through Xiyan’s heart.
Her chest ached, bittersweet and numbing.
When she lifted her gaze, she saw Ou Jue, his eyelids lowered, looking so unlike his imposing self.
"So, you still don’t plan to explain to me clearly just who she is, right?"
