Chapter 97 His life experience
It must be because the night was too dark that Shen Jinci could see the light in Bian Yue's eyes, flowing in her pupils, so beautiful that it made people hold their breath.
He gently pressed her lips, resisting the urge to kiss her again and again, and just watched intently.
Bian Yue was embarrassed by his gaze. After a while, she stammered, "You... you are so close to me. I feel a little uncomfortable."
He said, "So, it's just that I'm uncomfortable being close to you, right?"
He asked in such a simple manner that Bian Yue was stunned and her face turned red.
But when she noticed the smile in the man's eyes, her shyness was suddenly replaced by a unwillingness to admit defeat. She put her arms around Shen Jinci's neck and kissed him without hesitation.
She seemed to be proving that she was not shy, so there was no eroticism in the kiss, it was just a simple declaration of love.
"What about now?" Bian Yue said, "Now, do you feel uncomfortable?"
Shen Jinci just looked at her calmly, as if he was looking at a willful child.
He raised his hand, touched her hair, and said softly, "No."
After a pause, he said, "Yueyue, can I stay tonight?"
He asked so casually, on the spur of the moment, nonchalantly.
But Bian Yue's face, which had finally faded away, turned completely red again in an instant.
She stared at Shen Jinci blankly for a long time before she found her voice again. She was a little confused and more surprised. "Why are you so sudden?"
"What if I say it's not sudden?" He asked softly. The usually indifferent man now had more determination in his eyes. He stroked Bian Yue's hair with a calm look, "Bian Yue, what if I say that I wanted to do this a long time ago?"
"Then why wait until now?"
"It's not about waiting until now," Shen Jinci corrected Bian Yue's words: "It's about being patient."
Bian Yue's hands tightly grasped the quilt beneath her. Her fingers turned white from the force, but she still asked in a low voice, "Are we just going to sleep?"
She probably didn't know that there was ambiguity in her words.
Shen Jinci's smile deepened, and he said, "You can do something else if you want."
Bian Yue's eyes widened as she tried to cover his mouth. Her ears were red and her palms were sweaty. She said in a serious tone, "You can stay, but you can't do anything else."
Bian Yue herself didn't realize that she was very tolerant of him.
That night, the rain was still falling heavily in Hong Kong, and the lights in the room were warm and dim. Shen Jinci came from behind Bian Yue and gently held Bian Yue in his arms.
His breath landed on the back of Bian Yue's neck, triggering a shiver.
Shen Jinci knew that he was taking advantage of someone's misfortune.
When Bian Yue just met Li Siheng, he made a request, and as long as it was not beyond her bottom line, Bian Yue would not refuse.
The little girl was so kind that after she came out of the hospital, she was probably filled with guilt, thinking that she was really generous and that she was going too far.
What Shen Jinci wanted was not Bian Yue's guilt.
But he didn't mind taking advantage of that guilt.
"Yueyue." He called her name in the silence, as if it had been brewing between his lips and teeth for a long time, gentle and lingering.
Shen Jinci rarely spoke in this tone, and Bian Yue felt soft-hearted. She said "hmm" softly and then said, "What's wrong? Can't you sleep?"
Shen Jinci said calmly: "I can't bear to sleep."
"Because you hugged me." After Bian Yue finished speaking, she wanted to bite off her tongue. She looked a little annoyed, but she felt that the hand around her waist was really tight. She whispered, "Shen Jinci, I can't breathe."
"Then turn around and face me."
Bian Yue's heart beat disorderly, but she still obeyed Shen Jinci's words and turned around. When their eyes met, Bian Yue saw that Shen Jinci had a calm expression. His noble and cold face was softened by the light, and he was indescribably gentle. With a faint smile on his lips, he pinched Bian Yue's face and sighed softly, "Good boy."
Bian Yue lowered her eyelashes and didn't look at the smile in Shen Jinci's eyes.
"Then let's go to bed." Bian Yue said, "It's late, I'm a little sleepy."
"Okay." He patted her back gently, his gesture was soothing and gentle, and his voice was soft.
Bian Yue was originally a little nervous, but inexplicably, she actually showed signs of sleepiness as they looked at each other in silence.
Her eyelids drooped silently and she fell into sleepiness.
Shen Jinci just looked at her, his hand patting her back gently touching her slightly cool hair, and his heart softened.
He touched it slowly, but his thoughts drifted far away.
It rained so heavily in Hong Kong that year. The funeral was shrouded in a thick darkness that covered everything, feeling indescribably heavy.
The little princess of the Bian family stood in the middle of the crowd, holding an umbrella, and she was so shaky that it seemed like she would faint at any moment.
At the age of 16, Bian Yue's family was destroyed, he had nothing, and was surrounded by wolves.
23-year-old Shen Jinci stood in the wasteland not far from the funeral, looking at Bian Yue's back from afar.
The butler whispered in his ear, "That's Miss Bian Yue."
Shen Jinci thought, if time could go back, if Bian Yue had turned her head slightly, or if he had taken a few steps forward and pushed through the crowd, then many things might have been different.
But he didn't. He just looked at her back and thought to himself: So this is the Bian Yue that my twin brother has been thinking about.
It's ridiculous.
A woman who is too weak to protect herself.
So he looked at it coldly, with a playful smile on his lips and a cold voice: "He doesn't have a good vision."
The butler remained silent and did not respond to Shen Jinci's sharp sarcasm.
At the age of 23, Shen Jinci washed away his shameful black background, put up Shen Jinci's business card, took over Lixing Group, and became the youngest person in charge of the group.
No one knew that he was not the real Shen Jinci. His name before the age of 23 was washed away in blood, leaving only an appearance that was no different from that of the eldest son of the Shen family. He was allowed to appear in the sunlight and replace the latter's envied life.
But the people in the mud of the abyss are all cruel.
The only thing he cared about was the little princess who had held a party in Victoria Harbour not long ago.
The only thing he wanted to do when he stepped into this new world was to get closer to see what the little princess in a white princess dress, who was running down from the second floor, looked like when she smiled.
He didn't know that the orphan girl with her back to him at this moment was the woman he had caught a glimpse of at that time.
It was a day later that we found out they were the same person.
The housekeeper said, "The woman you asked me to find is Bian Yue."
After saying that, he handed Shen Jinci a photo.
It was Bian Yue’s 16th birthday party. She was wearing a little white dress and her smile was pure and spotless. Her innocent beauty was intoxicating.
No one knew the shock in Shen Jinci's heart at that moment.
——The moon he peeped at and coveted was actually the same person his brother loved.
Later, this photo appeared in Shen Jinci's wallet and was seen by Wei Shuqian two years later.
