City J was shrouded in a heavy, inky darkness, with the night encroaching and reflecting the clamor of the bustling streets.
The stars were like an ocean, and the summer cicadas chirped incessantly.
In the dimly lit corridor, the light fell like a phantom, creating an exceptionally quiet atmosphere.
The girl’s soft, almost whisper-like voice reached his ears, piercing through his efforts to conceal his thoughts. Pei Chen’s heart jolted, and a storm surged in his mind.
She was blatantly tempting him.
From the beginning, he had known she was a siren.
Then, Liang Zhiyi pressed her finger on the side door.
“Click—”
The door opened.
Liang Zhiyi met his bottomless black eyes, hearing his uneven breathing. Her red lips curved into a smile as she once again sought his kiss.
Their lips met again.
In an instant, he regained control.
She felt herself pulled tighter. Pei Chen lowered his face, pressing his hand on the back of her head, and once more pried her mouth open, sweeping inside. After a few seconds, she was lifted into his arms. He stopped, their foreheads touching, gazing directly at her.
The next moment, he opened the door and carried her inside.
The door closed behind them.
As expected, she knew he wouldn’t let her go easily.
They kissed again, moving from the entrance to the living room. He tilted his head, his kisses dotting her neck like stars. The girl tilted her face back, biting her lip and closing her eyes, her brows slightly furrowed. She felt as though she was drowning in his embrace, her mind spinning.
“Mm…”
“The bedroom is over there…”
She pointed to the room, only to be carried there by him.
The bedroom was dimly lit, with only a faint light coming through the half-open curtains, casting a moonlight-like glow.
As she fell backward onto the bed, it felt as if she was sinking into a soft cloud, her slender ankles held firmly in his hand.
He helped her remove her shoes, his gaze traveling up from her ankles. Beneath the pleated skirt, her legs were straight and slender, as white and delicate as lotus roots.
His eyes darkened. He pulled her back into his arms, sealing her red lips once more, feeling his hands explore like fish.
Her face flushed and her heart raced, overwhelmed and unsure, she could only cling to his neck.
The room was filled with a dreamy play of light and shadow.
The atmosphere was enchanting.
After a while, Pei Chen’s hand touched the hem of the girl’s skirt. Looking at the beautiful girl in his arms, his reason strongly urged him to stop.
Breathing heavily, he looked at her, momentarily stunned:
“Zhizhi…”
Seeing him stop, she was enveloped in a mist of confusion and stared at him blankly, “Don’t you want to continue?”
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to.
It was that he couldn’t.
Pei Chen’s voice was hoarse, as if filled with sand: “Zhizhi, I can’t go any further…”
The girl lowered her head, murmuring softly, “I understand. Is it that you don’t like me that much…”
The next moment, with a kiss landing, she was gently pinched twice. Her heart skipped a beat as Pei Chen bit her earlobe, his warm breath washing over it:
“Do you think this means I don’t like you that much, hmm?”
“Mm…”
The girl’s face flushed crimson, her heart in disarray.
She met his pitch-black eyes as he suppressed his emotions, speaking in a hoarse voice, “Zhizhi, I’m not in a position to ask for anything now.”
Given his current situation, financial status, and the gap between their family backgrounds, he felt he couldn’t promise her a lifetime together. He knew she wouldn’t mind, but as a man, he had to consider her future. He couldn’t bear the thought of causing her any potential hurt, even though his heart was shouting to continue.
“Please wait a bit longer, okay?”
He said that once he was more secure, he would completely make her his.
Touched by his words, the girl wrapped her arms around his neck and asked with a smile, “Pei, aren’t you suffering now?”
“Do you know how you just seduced me?”
He knew she had bad intentions and should never have come up with him, allowing himself to be tormented like this.
Seeing his gaze lingering on her and his arm muscles tense, Liang Zhiyi’s eyes curved as she whispered in his ear, “I have another method to help. Want to try?”
He was momentarily stunned, his breath catching a few seconds later.
“Zhizhi…”
Hearing his voice grow even hoarser, her ears grew warm under his touch. She shyly tried to lower her face, but he tilted her chin up and covered her with an intense kiss.
She was particularly inexperienced, her heartbeat pounding.
After a while, he bit her earlobe and spoke in a low, hoarse voice, “Zhizhi, this makes it even harder for me.”
Isn’t this what they say to do online…
She didn’t know what to do either qwq.
She looked dazed, “W-well…”
He propped himself up and, after a few seconds, the sweatpants fell to the floor. He embraced her again, leaning close to her ear and whispering, “Give it to me, okay?”
Her face turned red. Clearly, he was pushing his luck, but under his coaxing, she eventually gave in to his wishes. Pei Chen sighed in relief, closing his eyes and burying his face in her neck.
The girl felt a burning sensation on her neck from his breath, something she had never experienced before. She was both shy and expectant, as if she wanted to explore and see more.
The room felt warm, like being inside a heated furnace.
After a while, he stopped and kissed her, suddenly pulling her tightly into his embrace. With a low voice, he called her name, “Zhizhi…”
Unable to suppress a moan, he followed her movements, closing his eyes with difficulty as his brows furrowed sharply. A few seconds later, he abruptly stopped.
For a moment, the bedroom fell silent.
Liang Zhiyi felt the warmth on her hand, and her cheeks flushed red.
Pei Chen’s breathing slowly returned to normal. Regaining his composure, he looked down and noticed the girl’s short skirt had been stained. His black eyelashes trembled, and his face heated up as he softly whispered, “I’m sorry…”
Seeing his guilty expression, the girl couldn’t help but smile playfully and teased him, “Are you feeling embarrassed now? Why didn’t you feel embarrassed when you made me do that earlier?”
“……”
His face grew even hotter, and she seductively whispered in his ear:
“No need to apologize.”
“As punishment, just help me wash the skirt.”
He looked at the “evidence of the crime” on the skirt, swallowed nervously, and agreed in a low voice. He got up to find some tissues and then returned to help her clean up.
The girl half-lay in his arms, recalling what had just happened. She suppressed a smile and teased him gently, “Pei Chen… why were you so fast just now?”
He froze for a moment, then looked down in embarrassment, his face burning with heat.
He didn’t know how to respond.
It was because he was too excited.
After cleaning up, they lay down together. She snuggled into his arms and curiously asked, “Pei Chen, in high school, did you often do this kind of thing?”
“What kind of thing?”
“You know, what you just did.”
Pei Chen’s ears turned red, and he refused to answer such a question. But the mischievous girl insisted on pressing him, so in the end, he had no choice but to reply, “Hardly in my first year, but after the second year… sometimes.”
She smiled, “Sometimes, huh? And who was it because of?”
She playfully pressed him for an answer. Finally, he bit her earlobe gently and replied in a husky voice, “Who else could it be?”
In the past, when he was focused on his studies, he didn’t really care about these things.
Until Liang Zhiyi appeared.
Everything hidden beneath his composed exterior was unveiled.
She was his first and only object of fantasy.
Liang Zhiyi let out a soft hum, her heart pounding like a deer in headlights. She playfully poked his chest with her finger and said, “I never would have guessed, Pei, you always acted so cold and distant, but behind it all, you were actually so naughty.”
She pressed her lips together, then blew softly in his ear, “So now that we’re together, does it happen even more often?”
He suddenly fell silent, and she hummed, “Don’t try to deny it. Sometimes just a hug is enough to get you like that. Don’t think I haven’t noticed.”
“……”
Pei Chen’s ears burned, and he didn’t deny it, feeling a bit guilty.
Before they were together, without kissing or hugging, he had control. But now, every time she got close, he couldn’t help himself.
As they whispered sweet nothings to each other, he eventually pulled her into his arms and kissed her. After a while, he felt things were getting out of hand and reluctantly stopped, “Zhizhi…”
“Hmm?”
“…It’s nothing.”
He glanced at her hand and quickly looked away, suppressing the urge to ask her to help him out again.
Then he said, “Zhizhi, you should get some rest.”
“What about you?”
He paused for a moment, “I’ll head back.”
“It’s too late now. How about you stay at the apartment tonight? There’s a guest room, and that way, you won’t have to come all the way from the campus to find me in the morning.”
She flashed a playful smile, “Besides, we won’t be in the same room, so what’s there to be afraid of?”
In the end, Pei Chen agreed and wrapped his arms around her, lifting her up as she clung to him like an octopus. He carried her as she held on tightly.
Suddenly, she thought of something. “Are your knees hurting? Maybe you should put me down…”
She almost forgot that he had played basketball today and must be really tired.
“It’s fine, you’re very light.”
He didn’t stop, carrying her to the entrance to grab some slippers.
After they both changed into slippers, she took him to grab some toiletries. Pei Chen had clothes prepared in his bag, something he always did after a game in case he sweated too much and needed to change.
Finally, Liang Zhiyi told Pei Chen to take a shower in the guest room’s private bathroom. But then she remembered something and asked him to wait at the door for a moment.
After a while, she returned from her room, wearing only a loose, long T-shirt. She handed him something, stood on her tiptoes to kiss him, and with a seductive tone, said:
“Don’t forget to wash the skirt.”
His eyes darkened, his mouth went dry.
She really found new ways to seduce him every single day.
After he left, the girl went to take her own shower. In the bathroom, she looked at the hickey on her neck in the mirror, thinking about what had just happened, her face flushed, and her heart raced.
It was her first time seeing him like that in such a situation.
Beneath his cold exterior, he was both awkward and impulsively passionate, a contrast that exploded with masculine energy—utterly, irresistibly sexy.
Oh my, she liked it so much.
She blushed, pinching her cheeks to snap herself out of it.
Liang Zhiyi, you need to stop being so greedy…
Calming herself, she continued her shower.
Half an hour later, she stepped out of the bathroom in her nightgown. After finishing her skincare routine, she took a few things out of her canvas bag and walked to the living room.
She sat on the sofa, playing with her phone. A while later, Pei Chen walked out of the guest room. She turned her head to look at him and smiled, “All done with your shower?”
He responded with a light cough, looking down at the skirt in his hands: “The skirt…”
She couldn’t hold back her laughter, seeing how shy he was. She walked over, took the skirt from his hands, and smiled, “My Peipei is really well-behaved.”
“…”
“I’ll go hang it up to dry. Wait for me here.”
She took the skirt to hang it outside and then came back, grabbing his hand: “Come here.”
She led him to the sofa and sat him down. Pei Chen looked at her in confusion as she brought out some ointment and massage oil, “Are your legs hurting? Let me apply this for you.”
“How do you have this?”
“Every time I hear you’re going to play basketball, I keep it in my bag so I can apply it after you’re done, to relieve any knee pain.”
She sighed softly, “Since you’re not getting surgery, you need to take good care of yourself. Pei Chen, when I think of how you were injured before, it really scares me. I never want to see you hurt again.”
She looked at him.
Pei Chen felt his heart soften and pulled her into his arms, speaking gently, “I’ll definitely take care of my legs.”
She gently applied the ointment and massaged him, then laughed, “So, how is it? Isn’t your girlfriend amazing?”
“Yeah, she’s really amazing.”
He cupped her chin and kissed her, stealing her breath away.
A few seconds later, she pushed away his mischievous hands and said slyly, “Pei Chen, be careful. If you get too worked up later, don’t expect me to help cool you down.”
Pei Chen swallowed hard, lowered his gaze, and replied. He fixed her skirt and carefully suppressed the fire within him.
How did he turn into someone who thinks about this stuff all the time? She used to think he was just a pure, innocent boy.
She couldn’t help but laugh, patting him, “Go to sleep.”
She didn’t dare provoke him anymore, worried that he might have trouble sleeping tonight.
In the end, they each returned to their rooms.
Liang Zhi lay on her bed, touching the moon pendant around her neck, looking out at the sky through the window, and finally smiled sweetly.
The next day, Liang Zhiyi slept in a bit later than usual. When she woke up and walked into the room, she saw that Pei Chen was already sitting in the living room, having bought breakfast and was waiting for her.
As expected, he had thoughtfully prepared everything for her.
After washing up, she happily ran over and sat on his lap, hugging him. “Good morning, Peipei.”
Since highschool, only Liang Zhiyi would affectionately call him by that name.
