Cen Simiao’s entirety had softened onto the sofa. Her cheeks were flushed, her eyes were watery as if there was a light layer of mist, her brows were in a frown, and both her hands were pressed to the two sides of her body, forced to entwine with Wu Lichen's fingers.
Feeling the touch on her full lips, a numbness immediately spread throughout her body.
She could feel very clearly Wu Lichen's excited body and how his breathing gradually grew heavier. He suddenly shifted away, drawing closer to her ear. The exhaled breaths of heat caused Cen Simiao to involuntarily shrunk her neck.
Wu Lichen softly chuckled with a low voice. He rubbed the tip of his nose against the curve of her neck. Feeling the soft and tenderness, he opened his mouth and took a bite, which he then gently held in his mouth.
Cen Simiao stared right at the ceiling then pinched herself hard. "You- you get up for me!"
Wu Lichen didn’t pay her any attention.
Cen Simiao dropped her eyes, then she suddenly wrapped her arms around his waist, semi-drawing her upper body up. Wu Lichen was entirely stunned for a moment. She narrowed her eyes, then drew towards his neck. Her heated breath followed along the neckline to slip into his shirt.
He made the gesture and was about to pull Cen Simiao into a tight embrace, but he saw her expression suddenly turned cool with her chin raised, the emotions from just now still upon her brows, her clothes now all wrinkled.
Wu Lichen's eyes grew deeper.
"Get down."
Cen Simiao looked directly at him, her eyes especially sober, as if she was a completely different person to the one a moment ago.
Wu Lichen's eyes fell and his shoulders drooped. He rolled off and directly sat on the floor, his back against the foot of the sofa. With one hand propped on his knee, the other went to push back his hair.
Cen Simiao mulled over what she should say at this point.
She cleared her throat but before she could even open her mouth, she heard a sentence.
"Can I rub[1]?"
"......" Whether you can get off, don’t you know well in your heart?
Wu Lichen sighed as he went into the bathroom. The sound of the water continued to rustle. Cen Simiao took a look at the time. He has already been inside for an hour.
Cen Simiao had wanted to come here this time precisely to play around. Taking advantage that Wu Lichen would be at the set during the day, she went around to tour the scenic spots around the filming location.
She showed off a lot of selfies in her friend circle on WeChat.
A rare sight, Hu Yinli had left each one a ‘like’ and, for some, even left a comment. Xu Senni would also send a ‘like’ once in a while. Seeing the two names next to each other, gave Cen Simiao a particularly strange feeling.
She supposed that Xu Senni must have been using a side account.
The messages from the other trying to pull her to open a gallery together had still been consistently coming in.
Cen Simiao narrowed her eyes. It's time to start earning some money, she can't just spend without earning. She dialed Xu Senni’s number, her voice gentle and intimate, "Xu-jie, are you busy~?"
The system had downloaded an orange plug-in from the headquarters and had just read two-tenths of it when suddenly half of its data turned sour. It became so angry that all of its programs jumped straight up.
But it still hadn’t forgotten to manage Cen Simiao: "Are you stupid, who counterattacks like what you’re doing? Cooperating with her is obviously a trap yet you’re still going to jump down!"
Cen Simiao: "Sweet oranges can be delicious."
On this day, she really felt that there was nothing of much fun left and had just stayed in the hotel room, laying about the whole morning. When Wu Lichen came to knock on the door, she was still a bit dazed.
As soon as Wu Lichen came in, he unconsciously frowned. His eyes swept around the room, and he then went to the garbage can. It was empty. "You didn’t eat?"
Cen Simiao hadn’t fully woken up yet, her face still full of drowsiness. She casually responded, "Don’t want to eat."
Wu Lichen held back and didn’t say anything.
These past few days, if he didn’t have any scenes in the morning, he would first finish making the food, keep it warmed in the rice cooker, then push his room card into Cen Simiao's room through the bottom crack of the door.
And if he didn’t have enough time, he would order her a takeout.
But today he had been in such a hurry that he didn’t have the mind to attend to anything else and so the result was, she ended up not even eating a bite for breakfast.
Wu Lichen rolled up his sleeve, preparing to cook. As soon as he took the vegetables out of the refrigerator and put them under the water to give them a rinse, he heard her say, "Why did you come back so early today?"
While holding the green pepper to let the water drop off, he held the tomato under the running water. "There weren’t that many scenes today. So seeing the rare opportunity to relax, everyone went out to eat together."
Cen Simiao yawned. "Why didn't you go?"
The sound of water stopped, and she took a subconscious look. Wu Lichen was staring at her, and Cen Simiao suddenly became a good bit more energetic.
Wu Lichen lowered his head again as he fiddled with the vegetable(s) in his hand. "Everyone else is bringing along their friend(s) who have come to visit, it wouldn’t be very appropriate for me to go alone."
Cen Simiao dropped her eyes and got up to pour a glass of water. With her throat moistened, it was now much more comfortable. "Am I not here?"
Wu Lichen was stunned for a moment, and his throat bobbed. He raised his head to look at her, causing Cen Simiao to become puzzled. His lips suddenly quirked, and the raffishness in his eyes turned to gentle softness.
"Certain you want to go?"
"I'm hungry."
Favorability level is now at 37%.
[1] The character for “rub” as in “rubbing along something,” implies m★sturb★tion. Didn’t feel like the actual word fitted the occasion, so… Left it.
