When Su Mo carried her to the bathroom for her second shower, she suddenly snapped out of it and stared in the mirror at the person drying her off, feeling somewhat incredulous.
"Su Mo...?!"
"Aren't you sleepy?" Su Mo took a bath towel from the shelf next to her, wrapped it around her, hugged her tightly from behind, and asked in a hoarse voice while kissing her ear.
Jiang Jianhuan was so weak that Su Mo carried him to the bed. By this time, the alcohol had almost worn off, and his mind was gradually clearing up. He was extremely embarrassed and annoyed.
She had barely touched the pillow when she turned over and half-lyed on the bed, her fingers gripping the sheet beneath her, biting her lip in a state of inner turmoil.
A body pressed against her back, Su Mo half-pressed her down, her voice low and sensually husky.
Are you tired?
"Hmm..." she mumbled dismissively with her eyes closed.
Su Mo didn't say anything after listening, but the towel in front of her chest was lifted by a few fingers, and then she slipped in with practiced ease.
Jiang Jianhuan grunted and pushed him away.
"I'm going to go to bed."
"You go to sleep, I'll be quiet."
That craving for more returned, just like the first time. Su Mo has never hesitated to hide his true self; something innate in his bones makes him follow only his heart, and he has less reverence for rules than ordinary people.
Just like his actions and treatment of people, he showed no regard for sentimentality whatsoever.
Jiang Jianhuan frowned slightly, enduring his slow intrusion. It was much gentler than the first time, but Jiang Jianhuan knew it was all an act. He would probably revert to his old ways soon.
Back then, on New Year's Eve at the hotel, neither of them had any experience in this area, relying only on youthful impulsiveness and enthusiasm. The feeling was both unfamiliar and incredibly exciting, though she didn't really experience much of it because she was too nervous.
Su Mo, however, was like someone who had never tasted sugar before, experiencing sweetness for the first time in her life. She loved it so much that she became addicted to it.
Not long after, he pulled her along for the second time.
The next day, Jiang Jianhuan slept until noon. He brought her breakfast to her bed, and only then did she feel that she had recovered a bit. Then the man started bothering her again.
Jiang Jianhuan didn't quite remember what happened those few days.
Basically, Jiang Jianhuan was exhausted and fell into a deep sleep after being tormented by Su Mo. She would wake up, eat a little something, and hardly ever got out of bed. This repeated for about two days. On the third day, Jiang Jianhuan finally couldn't take it anymore and cried. Only then did Su Mo stop and pull her out of that state.
The moment Jiang Jianhuan stepped out of the hotel and into the sunlight, she had the illusion of returning to the human world.
That's terrifying.
At first, Su Mo was inevitably curious about this kind of thing, but later she became much more restrained and returned to a normal state. Although Jiang Jianhuan didn't know what a normal state was like for others.
But when Su Mo succumbed to desire, it was a debauchery completely different from his aloof and ascetic exterior. It was dangerous, yet incredibly alluring.
-
The room lights were already off when they came out, and in the darkness, their breathing grew heavier and heavier.
At the same time, there were actions that were initially restrained.
Jiang Jianhuan couldn't take it anymore. In his confusion, he found Su Mo's lips and kissed him passionately. The person on top of him groaned, and after a while, he finally stopped.
Before she could calm down, Jiang Jianhuan had already closed her eyes and fallen into a deep sleep, exhausted.
What is the most painful thing?
—It's like getting drunk and indulging in sex the night before, only to find out you have to go to work the next day.
When the alarm clock rang by the bedside, Jiang Jianhuan felt as if a nerve was being pulled and stabbed in her brain. She didn't want to pay attention to it at all, buried herself in her arms, and continued to sleep regardless.
Su Mo was woken up by the noise. She opened her eyes groggily, reached for her phone and turned it off. She then pulled Jiang Jianhuan's body closer together and rubbed it even tighter.
In a daze, consciousness slowly returned. The alarm clock—what time was it?
Jiang Jianhuan snapped back to reality, broke free from Su Mo's embrace, got up, grabbed her phone, and turned it on.
Thank goodness, it was only ten minutes over.
She immediately threw off the covers and got out of bed. Her body was completely naked, with nothing covering her. Jiang Jianhuan frowned, grabbed the bath towel from under the covers, and her toes had barely touched the ground when she suddenly went limp.
She gritted her teeth and endured the discomfort as she entered the bathroom.
The two had experienced the same thing last night, but their states were completely different. She looked haggard in the mirror, clearly lacking sleep, while Su Mo stood by the bed buttoning her shirt, looking radiant.
"......"
She gritted her teeth, packed her bag without a word, and prepared to leave.
"Wait two minutes, I'll take you to the company." Su Mo quickly went to wash up. When Jiang Jianhuan finished getting ready and was leaving with her bag, she glanced at Su Mo and saw that Su Mo was actually brushing her teeth with her toothbrush!
"Why is it lemon flavored?"
"What?"
Jiang Jianhuan sat in the passenger seat drinking milk, while Su Mo drove.
"The smell of toothpaste," he said, as the car stopped at a traffic light ahead. He leaned in and sniffed her lips.
No wonder.
"Um?"
"I need to change my toothpaste." The light turned red, and Su Mo started the car, saying casually.
Jiang Jianhuan belatedly realized that, staring at his profile, the lemon taste left over from brushing her teeth suddenly seemed particularly strong.
