Chapter 60: 60 What to do, he doesn't want to just taste and stop

60 What to do, he doesn't want to just taste and stop.

The private room door opened.

The three people outside looked over.

Tushan Jiu walked out from inside.

Xie Shiyu: "Can we go?"

"Um... that..." Tushan Jiu pressed her lips, somewhat hesitant to speak.

Noticing her hesitation, Xie Shiyu slightly bent down, tidied the few strands of hair messed up near her ear, moved closer, and asked softly: "What's wrong? Hmm?"

His voice was somewhat low, with the tail end slightly raised.

For Tushan Jiu, who is voice-sensitive, this was practically a deadly temptation.

In the hallway, accompanied by the restless music, Tushan Jiu gulped hard.

She opened her mouth, about to answer, when she heard the two people opposite: one exclaimed, the other clapped twice.

Lu Ze Yuan shook his head and clicked his tongue, "One word: perfect!"

"Your servant, spring has arrived—have we two seen a peacock display its tail?"

Qi Chen lowered his hand, "Hmm, I saw it, it's pretty nice, I still want to look."

Xie Shiyu: "...... Let's go, let's go out first."

He straightened up, took Tushan Jiu's hand, glanced at Lu Ze Yuan and Qi Chen, "Let's go, see you later."

After saying that, without waiting for their response, he led Tushan Jiu downstairs.

"The peacock's gone, nothing to watch now, let's go too—I'm heading to the hospital to check on Zhuo Sui, that kid; are you going home or coming with me?"

"Going home, your matter is settled, I need to return to my unit; on the third of next month I still have to go for a reception duty, I've already reported to my superiors, the leaders above and the Nan Cheng office have also confirmed it, so they ordered me to go back and prepare."

Upon hearing that, Lu Ze Yuan also became a bit more serious, "Alright, then you stay safe; next time you come back we'll gather again, and bring Kang Yan along too—this kid has made us needlessly worried for several days."

Qi Chen patted his shoulder, "Hmm, got it, let's go, you......"

Lu Ze Yuan pretended to be impatient and shook off Qi Chen's hand from his shoulder,

"Alright, stop dawdling, let's hurry—I'm already grown up, I'll eventually stand on my own; besides, this little master is clever—if I don't understand something, I'll just pester Xie Shiyu for ideas, so don't worry about me; and you, safety first, don't come back hurt!"

Qi Chen didn't respond, just clenched his fist and bumped Lu Ze Yuan's shoulder, smirking, "Hmm, see you next time."

"See you later."

"See you next time" is the phrase they always say at the end of each gathering.

Tushan Jiu followed Xie Shiyu into the car.

Inside the car.

Xie Shiyu turned sideways to look at her, "Now can you tell me what's going on?"

Tushan Jiu scratched her forehead, embarrassed, "Today I might have to stand you up for our date; I've run into a bit of a situation, so it's best not to go out."

If it's bad luck at home, that's fine; but if I'm out walking and trip on flat ground......

That image wouldn't be pretty!

So Tushan Jiu needs to go home!

Xie Shiyu frowned and asked, "Are you physically okay? Could this situation make you uncomfortable or sick?"

Although he didn't really understand, he also had a guess in his heart.

It's probably the backlash they mentioned, or something similar.

Seeing him worried, Tushan Jiu quickly waved her hands to explain, "No, no, it's not as serious as you think; just these couple days I'll have some bad luck, I don't want to go out because I don't know when the misfortune will strike."

Xie Shiyu knew she never lies; hearing her say that, his worried heart eased a little, but what remained unsettled was the misfortune she mentioned.

He didn't know how severe the misfortune she spoke of was.

The unknown is the most frightening.

Xie Shiyu furrowed his brows even more, took a deep breath, then rubbed her head, "Alright, let's go home, we won't go out—I'll have the chef make you honey-glazed roasted chicken legs."

Tushan Jiu noticed his expression, but she didn't know what it meant, feeling he seemed a bit angry.

She wasn't diverted by the food, she directly asked him, "Xie Shiyu, are you angry?"

Xie Shiyu's lips twitched slightly, "No, don't overthink."

"But I can tell you're unhappy, you have emotions, you're suppressing something."

Tushan Jiu also turned her body, their eyes met.

Xie Shiyu pressed his lips and lowered his gaze.

Tushan Jiu wouldn't back down; she felt she had to speak up, she didn't like letting conflicts linger overnight.

So, seeing him avert his gaze, she went up and cupped his face with both hands, forcing him to look at her.

But when she met Xie Shiyu's slightly surprised gaze, she froze, instantly feeling that the head in her hands was like a hot potato.

Nevertheless, she switched to his tone of speaking to her, moved closer, and coaxed, "Xie Shiyu, you said earlier that if you don't speak plainly I might not understand—so why aren't you speaking now?"

The soft, delicate touch was infinitely magnified on Xie Shiyu's cheek.

Before him, her pink lips moved; his gaze involuntarily fell on them, his Adam's apple rolling up and down.

Who could withstand the coaxing tone of someone they like?

He sighed, took hold of her hand resting on his face, slowly lifted it but didn't let go, gently rubbing it.

His voice slightly hoarse, he said, "I'm angry at myself."

Tushan Jiu gave him a puzzled look.

"I don't like this feeling; for example, right now, if something happened to you, I wouldn't even know how to help."

He closed his eyes, then opened them again, his gaze filled with helplessness, his voice sinking a bit: "Tushan Jiu, if something happens to you, I can only watch helplessly."

Tushan Jiu pressed her lips.

It turns out he was so worried about himself.

Tushan Jiu bit her lower lip, met his gaze, and said, "Actually, you're not completely without a way to help me."

"What do you mean?"

"It's...... uh...... I can borrow your luck to dispel this heavenly punishment." Just like borrowing his luck to break the curse.

Xie Shiyu's eyes flashed. "How do we borrow?"

Tushan Jiu's gaze flickered, falling on his thin lips.

Xie Shiyu noticed and understood.

This time he lifted her chin with his hand, making her meet his gaze.

His thumb lightly brushed her lips, and he whispered, "Jiu Jiu, it's not just because of borrowing luck; more so, I've been wanting to kiss you just now."

Saying that, he lowered his head and covered her slightly parted pink lips, their breaths intertwining in that instant.

The air inside the car grew scorching.

Tushan Jiu's eyes widened, her pupils constricting.

She was a bit dazed; she really hadn't expected Xie Shiyu to actually kiss her.

Clearly she just wanted to glance, and hadn't even said it should be this way!

What should we do now?

Dodge?

But she hadn't even moved yet, and Xie Shiyu's palm had already moved to the back of her head, gently stroking her silky hair, also holding her so she couldn't escape.

But soon the other party seemed increasingly unsatisfied.

At first they were just pressed together; now they began slowly nibbling and rubbing.

The hand at the back of her head was tightening.

This kiss was also deepening continuously.

Xie Shiyu originally didn't intend to go further, afraid to scare her.

But upon touching her lips, sweet as honey, all his self-control instantly became a joke.

He wondered if it was because she loved eating sugar.

How could it be so sweet.

What to do, he didn't want to just stop after a taste.
