Chapter 1216: Millennium Love Story 21

Chen Zhu really didn't know how to answer.

Even though he already knew his own feelings, he didn't want to lay everything bare for Jin Chen to see right now.

Doing that would take too much courage; if Jin Chen minded… perhaps they could never repair their relationship afterward.

He still wasn't prepared.

At this moment, silence wasn't much use; Jin Chen still held him, waiting for an answer, unwilling to give up.

Chen Zhu was forced to lean back, his fair neck already flushed crimson; repressed, nearly overflowing emotions filled his gaze, yet he dared not reveal even a trace.

He merely stroked Jin Chen's shoulder lightly, his palm rubbing, soothing and drawing strength.

"Don't ask."

Somewhat pleading, Chen Zhu lifted his gaze to Jin Chen; as their eyes met, he even had the illusion that he was about to be seen through completely.

Chen Zhu was the first to look away, lowering his head to suppress the soft flutter in his heart; it took great restraint to keep Jin Chen from noticing anything.

But some reactions simply couldn't be hidden, especially the skin that had grown very familiar with Jin Chen's touch.

The pure cotton undershirt was stretched open by warm hands; from collarbone to abs, every inch of skin and contour had already been touched many times by Jin Chen.

"Why can't I ask."

Jin Chen suddenly leaned in, covering him, his nose brushing Chen Zhu's earlobe, lightly sniffing the soap scent on his neck; warm, moist breath then scattered along Chen Zhu's neck.

"It seems like you're afraid of something, brother."

That kind of nasty and teasing tone.

The hand Chen Zhu had placed behind Jin Chen's back gradually tightened; he tilted his head, enduring the tingling all over, his consciousness drifting a bit, clearly sensing that they were entwined and dependent, yet utterly chaotic, love's threads tightly winding around them, growing wildly as if gone mad.

"No."

Chen Zhu strained to regain his voice, arms tightening around him, deliberately blurring the relationship's boundaries, as if that could deceive Jin Chen.

"Bao Bao, this is…… something we can do……"

His voice was extremely hoarse, light and airy.

"I see."

Having finally obtained an answer, Jin Chen didn't press further; he lifted his head, his aggressive gaze looking down at Chen Zhu's hazy eyes, and said, "Then for other things, can I do them to you, brother?"

"What."

Chen Zhu tried to focus his gaze, but at this moment his bodily sense of touch was far sharper than his sight; he felt Jin Chen's fingertips brush his brow, glide down the bridge of his nose, and press against his already moist lips.

"I want to kiss you, Chen Zhu."

Chen Zhu shuddered with fright; even though in the dead of night he had already repeated this thought in his dreams a thousand times, he never dared imagine these words would come from Jin Chen's mouth.

He even wondered if his obsession was so deep it was causing auditory hallucinations.

He should be refusing now, but he simply couldn't get the words out; his trembling heart and soul wouldn't let him speak a refusal.

Jin Chen's hand, wrapped around his waist, covered the mermaid line; the heat made his body tremble, and the surging desire had nowhere to hide.

"Okay…"

Reason suppressed, Chen Zhu wrapped his arms around Jin Chen's shoulders and pressed him against himself; Jin Chen smirked, having gotten his wish, he was no longer urgent, placing delicate kisses on the collarbone of his neck.

He could feel it—Chen Zhu's abs grew hotter, like melting butter, the sensation superb.

Having played enough, he finally lifted Chen Zhu's chin, their wet, hot lips meeting.

Chen Zhu thought Jin Chen's so-called kiss was just that.

Thus, the moment his lips and teeth were pried open, he still broke out in a cold sweat, yet the ultimate pleasure left him unable to muster the thought to push away.

A surging wave of heat entered him, making everything around seem unreal; the thirsty skin, completely satisfied, trembled minutely.

Delusion becomes reality.

The two left much later than usual, only going downstairs near eleven; if it weren't for a customer coming this afternoon to pick up a cake, Chen Zhu would have wanted to stay indoors all day.

The reason was simple: he didn't really want to wear a sweater that could cover his neck in such hot weather.

Jin Chen was in excellent spirits, following behind him with earphones on, humming a little tune; he laughed brightly, even more so than Chen Zhu, who was tugged up by the ears into the car.

Upon reaching the shop entrance, Chen Zhu saw clearly the person waiting by the roadside, giving a half‑smile, side‑glance; the Jin Chen in the passenger seat was looked at with bewilderment.

"What's up, brother?"

"Xu Ni is waiting for you downstairs."

Only then did Jin Chen notice, glancing over and scratching his head.

What an unfamiliar face—had he really seen this girl before?

Just as the two stepped out of the car, Xu Ni, who had come especially to find them, brightened her eyes and trotted over; her bright‑blue long dress was very eye‑catching.

"Jin Chen, good afternoon."

Jin Chen silently moved half a step behind his brother and said, "Anything up?"

Except for Chen Zhu, he wore that indifferent yet polite expression toward everyone.

Xu Ni lowered her head shyly, "Breakfast…… I made it especially for you, is it tasty?"

Jin Chen: "Huh?"

Those xiaolongbao couldn't possibly be handmade by you—nonsense!

He reacted after two seconds, suddenly understanding something; he glanced sideways at Chen Zhu, whose face held a gentle smile, and the corner of his mouth lifted, dispelling a bit of his indifference.

Chen Zhu felt a little guilty, pressed his lips together, and avoided eye contact.

Jin Chen pulled out some money for mala tang from his pocket and handed it over, saying, "No need to trouble yourself; I don't intend to enjoy delivery service."

Xu Ni: "……"

She angrily bit her lip; how could one not see this as a rejection?

Why!

Jin Chen gave no response, maintaining the posture of handing over money.

Xu Ni stamped her foot in anger at him, decisively took the money, and strode away arrogantly in her small-heeled sandals.

Brother, there's still spicy hot pot for breakfast.

Jin Chen glanced back, tilted his head and laughed teasingly.

Chen Zhu's ears grew redder; he said nothing, walked a few steps quickly, then pulled out his key to unlock the door.

At the street corner, Xu Ni crossed her arms and saw through the glass door that the two were being intimate, arms around each other's shoulders.

She instantly understood everything; Chen Zhu kept saying they were just brothers, but it turned out he had already hooked up with Jin Chen!

Thinking of those rumors, Xu Ni rolled her eyes angrily and went home to complain.

Her mother was the aunt who almost argued with Jin Chen the day he arrived; upon hearing that the person her daughter liked had been hooked up with by Chen Zhu, she was furious beyond measure, burst out scolding in the kitchen of the spicy hot pot stall, and the mother-daughter conversation was overheard by the yellow-haired Shunzi, who immediately declared he would restore his sister's honor.

Can you handle it? Jin Chen is from Jing Shi, anyway he's not short of money, and who knows if he has any influence.

Xu Ni simply doesn't believe this little hooligan's younger brother.

I don't believe it; Zhao Weifang could do it—he utterly despises Chen Zhu, he even fought with Jin Chen before, so he surely bears a grudge.

Shunzi is also a member of Zhao Weifang's little brother crew; he hopped on his motorcycle and rushed straight to his place to deliver the news.
