Chapter 109: The wooden beauty of Young Master Sheng
Chapter 109: Don't Speak, Don't Move
In the pitch-black room, some natural light from outside seeped in through the door.
Jiang Chenchen stood by the door, took a moment to adjust to the darkness, and saw the person lying on the bed. He hadn't taken off his outer coat; it seemed like he had casually laid down and fallen asleep.
She walked in cautiously, keeping the door half-covered.
In the dim light, she could vaguely see his figure. The back of his head was facing this way, and she couldn't see his face as it was buried in a soft pillow.
Jiang Chenchen walked to the bedside, bent down to take a look, and gently reached out to brush aside his messy hair, wanting to see his face. Accidentally, her fingertips touched the corner of his eyebrow bone, and she suddenly heard a low "hiss."
Her fingertips paused, and she lowered her head to see what part she accidentally touched.
Her fingertips were caught, and the person buried in the pillow suddenly turned his body slightly, opened his sleepy eyes, and saw the person he had just seen in his dream. He looked somewhat incredulous but then smiled softly, his laughter carrying a nasal, hoarse, and seductive quality that hooked onto the eardrums.
Jiang Chenchen was stunned. His laughter always managed to resonate with her heartstrings. She liked his smile a lot, but rarely did she get to see him laugh.
But didn't it hurt just now? Why was he laughing again?
She was a bit confused.
The person lying in front of her, Sheng Mingsi, didn't let go of her hand. On the contrary, he slightly tightened his grip and brought it to his lips, leaving a shallow kiss. In a husky voice, he called her name.
"Chenchen."
Jiang Chenchen felt that the kiss on her fingertips was ice-cold like silk, soft and slightly stimulating her fingertips. It made her heart beat strangely, inducing a peculiar discomfort.
She withdrew her fingers in a fluster and called out somewhat nervously, "Brother Ah si..."
This call woke up the person who was half-conscious due to a low fever. Thinking it was a dream, he was surprised to find that it was real. His ice-cold and handsome face was petrified for a few seconds.
He sat up quickly from the bed, ruffling his already messy hair. Soon, he resumed his usual demeanor, saying very seriously, "Don't misunderstand. That just now was... a good afternoon kiss, just a form of greeting."
But quickly, he added, "Of course, it's a bad habit. There won't be such a thing in the future. You don't need to do this with anyone else either, understand?"
Jiang Chenchen snapped out of the strange reaction just now, dumbfoundedly nodding her head.
So, it was just a bad habit.
He was about to get out of bed and distance himself from this awkward atmosphere.
When he bent down to put on his shoes, Jiang Chenchen, trying to support him, reached towards his forehead with one hand.
"Brother Ah si, did you get hurt here?"
A bruise was visible near the end of his eyebrow. She didn't touch it, but Sheng Mingsi instinctively caught her hand to prevent her from touching the painful area.
But as soon as he touched her hand, he quickly turned his hand into a fist and withdrew it, stepping back. "It's nothing, just bumped it."
He put on his shoes and walked towards the door. In his haste, he didn't notice something on the carpet that tripped him. It was a page of a book, trampled and scattered. He stumbled forward, and just ahead was a table corner. Another collision would result in an injury.
Jiang Chenchen, seeing this, hurriedly rushed forward to block in front of him. She changed the direction of his fall, but if he fell sideways like this, she wouldn't fare well either. When he fell, one arm stretched across her back, taking on most of the impact.
A muffled groan.
Sheng Mingsi's face turned pale.
Seeing the situation, his face blushed.
He tried hard to control his emotions, pretending to have his usual cold and composed demeanor.
Then, seeing the current situation, his face blushed again.
The person beneath him was petite, like a small white rabbit. His tall figure covered her, and in the black shadows, the distance between the two was so close that he pressed against her tender body.
Her heart was beating so fast, like a drum, with blood flowing through her veins at an almost uncontrollable speed.
If he didn't leave her body now!
Just as he was about to get up after the heated moment, Jiang Chenchen unexpectedly reached over and wrapped her arms around his neck, lifting her head to press her ear against his chest.
A strong and rhythmic heartbeat.
Was he experiencing that strange pain in his heart like before?
The warm breath falling on her head was so intense that Jiang Chenchen could feel it. She moved away from his chest and looked up at him, asking, "Brother Ah si, what's wrong with you? Are you okay?"
Sheng Mingsi's eyes were as deep and intense as the night, and his breath scorched his throat.
"I'm fine."
"Let go, be good."
Constrained like this, unable to leave immediately, he could only endure the screams of his body's blood. The discomfort made him sweat profusely in this short period.
Jiang Chenchen didn't know his current emotional state, but as instructed, she released her hold on his neck. However, he was sweating a lot, and drops fell onto her eye. She instinctively closed her eyes.
She also instinctively grabbed his shoulder, her slender and powerful fingers touching his hot skin.
He was usually cold and sensitive to the cold, so why was he so hot today?
"Brother Ah si..."
Did he catch a fever? The words didn't come out.
The hand with long, distinct joints tightly covered her mouth.
"Don't speak, don't move."
The hoarse and bewitching voice fell on her ears. Jiang Chenchen opened one eye to look at him and realized he might indeed be sick, or else his hand wouldn't be so scalding.
But as he said, she neither moved nor spoke.
Sheng Mingsi endured to the extreme, looking at the person beneath him, and let out a soft sigh.
He released the hand covering her mouth, picked her up from the floor, and sat her on the bed. When she was about to speak, he said, "Don't ask anything. Sit here and wait for me."
Jiang Chenchen could only nod. After he left, she closed the door behind him.
She hadn't fallen, but had Sheng Mingsi developed a fever?
As time passed, Sheng Mingsi hadn't returned yet. She checked her phone and realized she probably didn't have time to wait. She got off the bed, picked up the book responsible for the mishap, and opened the door to leave. Just as she opened the door, Sheng Mingsi was standing outside.
He seemed to have washed his hair, it was still damp, and his cold and sharp aura had become even more intense.
A refreshing scent mixed with a faint fragrance.
Jiang Chenchen wrinkled her nose, took a step forward, and looked up at him. "Brother Ah si, did you take a shower?"
She quickly reached for his forehead, and his skin, originally burning, was now cool.
"I thought you had a fever?"
"..."
Sheng Mingsi quickly caught her hand and moved it away, maintaining his usual stern demeanor. "It's just too hot."
Without giving her a chance to retort, he continued, "Don't stand around. Go to school; you're almost late."
Jiang Chenchen stood in place, unmoving. "Brother Ah si, I have a question to ask you, but I don't know if I should."
