Chapter 371: Esports God, Don’t Shut Yourself Away 36
Walking into the room, she had intended to pour him a glass of water.
But he took her hand and wouldn’t let go.
They stood in the living room, and she looked at him.
Just waiting silently.
Ji Yan’s dark pupils contained a faint, gleaming light.
Because of that kiss just now, his ears were still red.
It was only after a long time, when he realized that Su Yan was just looking at him without saying a word,
The weak light in his eyes began to fade.
His body stiff, he swallowed, and after a while, he spoke up
"I, I must have disturbed you, right?"
Su Yan remained silent.
He lowered his gaze,
"Then, I’ll, I’ll take my leave first."
Very slowly, he released Su Yan’s hand.
By the time he had completely let go, Ji Yan looked wilted.
It was that kind of feeling as if he had no energy at all.
But just as he had let go, Su Yan grabbed his hand again.
She spoke
"Does it not hurt anymore?"
Ji Yan was stunned for a moment before looking up.
Then, when he clearly understood what Su Yan was asking, he nodded
"It doesn’t hurt when you touch me."
Ever since that day when Su Yan forcefully applied medicine to his hand, it hadn’t hurt anymore.
Su Yan asked again
"Why did you come looking for me?"
Ji Yan was silent.
Just standing there with his head lowered.
Why did he come looking for her?
He was unwilling to voice the unspeakable reason in his heart.
When he found out that today Su Yan was going to visit someone named Xiang Chong,
He grew restless and fidgety.
Ultimately, he couldn’t help but run over to find her.
She observed the dark circles under his eyes and his somewhat disheveled state.
After a brief moment of thought,
Seeing that he didn’t want to speak, she did not continue to ask.
She just took his hand and led him to the bed,
"Let’s sleep."
Ji Yan looked up at her.
Su Yan puzzled
"Not sleepy?"
Ji Yan didn’t say anything more and silently got into bed.
He thought she was simply asking him to sleep alone.
Following that, Su Yan lay down next to him.
He swallowed and gazed unblinkingly at Su Yan lying beside him.
It all seemed very unreal.
Originally, Su Yan was going to sleep.
But how could she, with a pair of eyes constantly watching her?
She couldn’t fall asleep no matter what.
She turned over,
"Do you have something you want to say to me?"
After much hesitation and struggling to organize his words, Ji Yan finally spoke
"Did you kiss me out of pity?"
"No"
She closed her eyes, feeling somewhat sleepy, her voice no longer as calm as when she was angry.
It returned to its usual gentle tone.
Speaking haltingly, she still managed to ask.
"Then, why did you do it?"
As he asked this, the blush that had not yet faded from his ears rose again.
He seemed to have a lot to say to her, bit by bit
"Books say that kissing is something only people in intimate relationships do."
He spoke very slowly, each word entering Su Yan’s ears one by one.
She responded with a sound.
"Mhm"
Expressing agreement.
Because of her agreement, Ji Yan’s heartbeat sped up even more.
With his gaze lowered, hiding the faint light in his eyes, his voice became weaker
"Would you kiss someone else?"
The name Xiang Chong flashed through his mind again.
He clenched his hand tighter.
This time, Su Yan’s answer was definitive
"Apart from you, I won’t kiss anyone else."
Ji Yan’s clenched hand slowly relaxed a bit.
His ears reddened, but he felt very happy.
Then, he brought up the earlier topic again.
"Then why did you kiss me?"
Su Yan opened her eyes,
"I wanted to kiss you. Is that reason enough?"
Ji Yan’s ears turned red again.
His eyelashes fluttered lightly and a faint, joyful expression appeared on his face.
