180: Chapter 179: Turning the Tables (2 updates) 180: Chapter 179: Turning the Tables (2 updates) It wasn’t just because she was that girl.
He had genuinely developed feelings for her.
Watching her cry, he wished he could give her everything she desired.
“There, there, don’t cry anymore.” He coaxed her tenderly, wiping away the tears on her face.
Xu Niannian was still sobbing, her sobs relentless, not even knowing why she cried, just foolishly shedding tears until Jin Yu’s clothes were soaked.
Suddenly, like a child, she buried herself in his embrace, clinging to him, unwilling to let go.
Jin Yu couldn’t walk away, he could only pat her back and slowly comfort her.
It didn’t take long before Xu Niannian was lulled to sleep by him.
Jin Yu wanted to take the opportunity to get out of bed and gently removed her hand, but the sleeping Xu Niannian made a noise and tightly grabbed his arm again.
This made Jin Yu not know whether to laugh or cry.
Looking down at her obedient sleeping face, Jin Yu laughed helplessly, wishing that she could be this close to him when she was awake as well.
It’s just uncertain when that day would co, apparently, there was still a wait, the little girl wasn’t easy to pursue.
As Jin Yu was lost in thought, he pulled the blanket over her and noticed a scar on her arm.
At first, he thought it was just a wound, but upon closer inspection, he realized it was a character.
A twisted “Dong” character, carved with a knife on the inside of her arm.
This plunged all of Jin Yu’s surging emotions of the night suddenly downwards, as if soone had dumped a bucket of cold water over his head, quenching the flas burning in his heart.
The narrow phoenix eyes slightly narrowed as Jin Yu’s fingertip forcefully traced the character.
The scar was deep because the character was raised, ford by the flesh growing back.
This showed just how forcefully she must have carved it.
Dong…
A man’s na.
What does it an for a woman to carve a man’s na into her own flesh, and to do so with such force?
Jin Yu couldn’t help feeling jealous, and the jealousy was turbulent, overwhelming.
In that mont, his dark eyes beca silent and profound.
Looking at her obedient sleeping face, Jin Yu’s heart was gripped tightly.
So, was that why she didn’t tell him about what had happened on the small hillside back then, why she didn’t co to settle the score with him, or expect him to take responsibility—because of the man with “Dong” in his na?
Suddenly, Jin Yu felt an unbearable tightness in his chest, realizing she might already have soone she liked.
Contemplating this possibility, Jin Yu felt mad with jealousy.
His chest was burning with pent-up rage.
He had been about to leave, but he pulled her into his embrace instead, hugging her tightly and not letting go.
She was his, and no one else could take her away.
However, as it turned out, Xu Niannian got into another drunken frenzy later on, which drove Jin Yu crazy, but it also brought so benefits.
＊
Even though she was drunk, Xu Niannian’s internal clock was still very accurate, and she woke up early in the morning.
“My head hurts.”
She rubbed her brow and looked up at the mosquito net above her head, slightly confused about the drinking last night, “Did I pass out after just one sip?”
She could only rember anything before clinking glasses with Jin Yu, but as for what happened afterward, she had no mory at all.
She didn’t even know how she had gotten ho.
She planned to get up and lifted the blanket, but then Xu Niannian discovered a terrifying fact—there was a pair of hands in the bed.
And they weren’t hers.
Having gotten drunk in the bar the night before, she must have been brought back by Jin Yu and Xu Zhiqiang.
With Jin Yu there, it was unlikely she would end up in the hands of so sleazy guy.
And this person couldn’t possibly be her brother.
So the owner of these hands…
The answer was about to reveal itself, Xu Niannian blinked, followed the hands to see that they indeed belonged to Jin Yu’s face, and she wished she could imdiately head-butt the ground.
Unable to tell if it was anger or sothing else, Xu Niannian trembled all over, gritting her teeth as she called out Jin Yu’s na.
She had been drunk, but he hadn’t been.
Jin Yu seed to awaken only then, groggy, asking, “You’re awake?”
His tone was as if he was asking about sothing utterly mundane, like casually inquiring “Where are you going?” upon bumping into an acquaintance.
But the problem was, she and he, two unrelated adults of the opposite sex, had woken up in the sa bed.
Shouldn’t he offer so explanation?
“Jin Yu,” she gritted her teeth, “what are you doing here?”
Every word she asked seed to be squeezed out from between her clenched teeth, her whole body trembling with anger.
She hadn’t expected him to take advantage of soone’s vulnerability.
Jin Yu had his hand on his forehead, his breathing constrained as he thought of the word on the inside of her arm.
His voice was casual and languid as he asked, “Do you want to explain?”
“Nonsense,” Xu Niannian rebuked angrily, “you’d better give a reasonable explanation.”
Xu Niannian was very angry, extrely angry.
She couldn’t pinpoint the awkward feeling inside, it was as if the faith she had so firmly believed in had suddenly collapsed.
She had thought that Jin Yu wasn’t the type to exploit soone’s weakness; she even felt he was rather nice.
But she hadn’t expected him to…
To take advantage of her when she was drunk…
How was that any different from scum?
She thought sothing irreversible had happened.
All the anger made Xu Niannian’s eyes redden, unable to say why she felt a blockage in her chest, only that it was extrely uncomfortable, she felt suffocated.
Jin Yu, seeing the tears about to fall from her eyes, felt a wrench in his heart that quickly turned into compassion.
He imdiately explained, “Nothing happened.
I carried you back to sleep last night.
You just wouldn’t let go of my clothes, that’s all.”
A very simple explanation.
Xu Niannian frowned, looked down at herself, and thankfully, her clothes were intact.
Her anger subsided a bit.
“But you shouldn’t have gotten into my bed either, we’re only fake kin; you have your true love, and I have my…”
At this point, Xu Niannian suddenly stopped short, realizing she didn’t even have a ‘black moon’.
Looking into Jin Yu’s deep eyes, she quickly changed the subject, “Anyway, you shouldn’t get into my bed, do you want to ruin your reputation or not?”
Jin Yu cast her a glance.
Her hesitation, in Jin Yu’s eyes, appeared to be another form of concealnt.
It reminded him of the word carved on her arm last night.
His dark eyes grew more profound as he leisurely began to unbutton his shirt in front of her.
Xu Niannian’s eyes bulged, her mouth opened in surprise, her finger trembling as she pointed at him.
There had only been the two of them last night; he certainly couldn’t be such a freak as to hit himself.
The answer was glaringly obvious in front of her, Xu Niannian swallowed hard.
It seed…
she was more like the one taking advantage.
Jin Yu glanced at her, “Need to clarify more about what happened last night?”
His gaze was so chilly that Xu Niannian felt as if one more word would get her impaled by his icy stare.
When the wrongful person turned out to be herself, the little anger Xu Niannian had left instantly vanished into the negative.
“Why…
why didn’t you push away?
With all your strength, when I misbehaved, couldn’t you just knock out?”
Speaking of this, Xu Niannian seed to suddenly gain courage, standing tall, “Yeah, I’m no match for you.
If you didn’t want to, what could I possibly do to you?”
Jin Yu narrowed his eyes; she was quick-witted, indeed.
Yes, if he didn’t want it, no woman could be so bold with him.
But the problem was, he did want it.
But he couldn’t say it.
Jin Yu was silent for a second.
The words that ca from his thin lips stunned Xu Niannian into stillness.
He said, “You threatened with unscrupulous tactics.”
As he spoke, he casually pulled a corner of the quilt over himself.
Worried she might not understand, he leaned in close to her ear to explain softly.
Upon hearing his murmur, Xu Niannian felt as if a bolt of lightning had struck her from a clear sky, leaving her scorched and in disarray.
He maintained his position lying on the bed.
His deep voice exploded above her, “I never thought you were this kind of woman.”
Xu Niannian opened her mouth in dumbfounded shock, wanting to explain but not knowing how.
Damn it, who could tell her why getting drunk would suddenly make her so crazy.
To have done sothing so bold.
Xu Niannian felt like crying.
Oh, heavens, she wanted to instantly perform an intricate form of suicide on the spot.
Not content with just that, Jin Yu suddenly sat up, leaning close to her ear as if angrily questioning her, “How was I supposed to resist in that situation?”
The sudden raise in volu startled Xu Niannian, her watery eyes looking at him, her expression on the verge of tears, “I was drunk last night.”
