After A Secret Marriage Agreement With A Rival Omega - Chapter 34

Chapter 34

“What kind of ring do you like?”

Jian Jixing had no idea Sheng Ruxi could be so shameless. Where did she learn this?

Take off what? And what comes after?

It was her bed, yet at this moment, all control was in the hands of the capricious Sheng Ruxi.

After a few seconds of difficult silence, Jian Jixing didn’t move.

“Take it off at your own risk,” she said, maintaining the distance between herself and Sheng Ruxi. “Just so you know, you might be calm, but I might not be.”

Sheng Ruxi said, trying to cover up her true intentions, “…I didn’t mean it that way. It’s purely because your shirt is uncomfortable.”

Jian Jixing couldn’t help but laugh and tried to grab Sheng Ruxi’s hand. Sheng Ruxi was like a nimble feather, stirred by Jian Jixing’s breath. Her hand reached out to pinch Jian Jixing’s face, but it was immediately held firmly by Jian Jixing.

“Getting naughty so soon?” Jian Jixing’s thumb pressed into her palm. It was slightly damp. “Still want to take it off?”

“Let go.” Sheng Ruxi tried to pull her hand back from Jian Jixing’s palm, but she couldn’t. Jian Jixing leaned back a little, and the blanket slid off her body. “Don’t you dislike my clothes for being uncomfortable?”

Then take it off. Why aren’t you moving? But in the next second, Sheng Ruxi’s condemning gaze froze.

Her hand, guided by Jian Jixing, landed on the first button.

The darkness amplified their sense of touch. The cold contact for that one moment made Sheng Ruxi’s heart race, and her breathing hitched.

She didn’t make a sound. The moment her finger touched the button, she chickened out.

Jian Jixing didn’t allow her to leave. She skillfully used her own fingers to pry open Sheng Ruxi’s clenched and curled fingers, then guided her, almost forcing her, to unbutton the first button of her shirt.

Pop.

A soft sound. And it wasn’t just one button that came undone. Sheng Ruxi felt something inside her mind also gently snapping.

Jian Jixing’s fingers were truly nimble. On the surface, it was Sheng Ruxi’s hand on Jian Jixing’s body, but it was clear who was being teased.

She had lost. She had completely lost in front of Jian Jixing.

Sheng Ruxi was stubborn, but her hand was honest. It didn’t leave Jian Jixing’s body. It even moved closer to Jian Jixing.

One. Two. Three. From here on, it wasn’t just her collarbone that was exposed.

Sheng Ruxi’s breathing became heavy. She finally couldn’t help but say, “How do you know how to do so much?”

Jian Jixing whispered, “Because your thoughts are so easy to guess.”

She no longer held Sheng Ruxi’s hand, letting Sheng Ruxi take over. Sheng Ruxi, having gone so far, unbuttoned the rest of her shirt. Anyway, everything they did was hidden under the blanket. What did it matter to be completely honest with each other?

Jian Jixing asked again, “Are you sure?”

Sheng Ruxi closed her eyes and said, “It’s my duty. You don’t need to ask if I’m sure.”

Jian Jixing was blunt. “Then I’ve been inconsiderate. I should have just told you directly, ‘Come on, let’s go to bed’?”

“Jian Jixing!” Sheng Ruxi was unaccustomed to Jian Jixing’s directness, but her hand was still on Jian Jixing’s body. She wanted to move it away, but she couldn’t, as if it were glued there.

Jian Jixing was amused by her. “Should I be glad I didn’t get the wrong pants? Otherwise, you’d feel even more uncomfortable.”

Sheng Ruxi didn’t say anything. Her hand landed on a delicate spot and stayed there. Jian Jixing was impressed by Sheng Ruxi’s stubbornness. She still wouldn’t be honest with herself at a time like this. She lay there and placed her hand on Sheng Ruxi’s shoulder.

“You don’t want it anymore?”

Sheng Ruxi propped herself up, wanting to get a good look at Jian Jixing’s expression. It was precisely because of Jian Jixing’s openness that she couldn’t help but say against her will, “I never planned on it tonight.”

Jian Jixing looked at herself and Sheng Ruxi and smiled. “That’s a shame.”

When she came out and saw Sheng Ruxi lying on her bed, she had a feeling this might happen. She just didn’t expect Sheng Ruxi to be so direct yet so subtle.

Sheng Ruxi would directly express her intentions with her actions. Subtle in that she was subtle in the wrong places, always retreating at the last step.

Like a child, she had a lot of momentum, but it wasn’t sustainable.

Jian Jixing wasn’t slow-witted, but she needed to think about what Sheng Ruxi wanted. She knew Sheng Ruxi wanted to sleep with her, but she had to consider if it was the right time, the right place, and if her body was in the most suitable state.

Jian Jixing actually wanted to say all of this, but she didn’t. Sheng Ruxi was an impatient person. She might say, “If you’re not going to do it, just stop with all the rambling,” the moment Jian Jixing started with, “I actually think…”

Sheng Ruxi needed an alpha who would respond passionately from the beginning, just like the night they were drunk. Perhaps this was one of the reasons why Sheng Ruxi later agreed to marry her.

Jian Jixing was calmly analyzing in her mind. Her hands weren’t idle. She pulled Sheng Ruxi closer, actively dissolving the distance between them.

Sheng Ruxi’s voice was a little soft. “Who wants to…”

“Why don’t you honestly face your own desires?” Jian Jixing smiled. She had discovered this flaw of Sheng Ruxi’s. She always refused to admit what she wanted, especially when it came to this.

They were already married. To put it bluntly, wasn’t this why they got married in the first place? They both got what they needed.

At first, Jian Jixing thought Sheng Ruxi was helping her unilaterally. It wasn’t until Sheng Ruxi fainted that Jian Jixing understood that Sheng Ruxi also needed to release her desires.

At the time, Jian Jixing thought it was good for them to each get what they needed, so neither would owe the other. But now, she suddenly felt that it might be nice to have Sheng Ruxi always owing her.

The soft-hearted Sheng Ruxi spoke softly, and her angry demeanor was also adorable.

Jian Jixing admitted that she was despicable, despicable enough to offer her body in exchange for that finally tangible tenderness.

Sheng Ruxi felt that things were flying in a direction she couldn’t control. She wanted to pull back, but Jian Jixing immediately took charge of her, reminding her in good spirits.

“Once we start, don’t think about leaving.”

Sheng Ruxi hated that Jian Jixing had everything under control, including her. She tried to push Jian Jixing away. “Don’t move, or I’ll really bite you!”

Sheng Ruxi’s struggle was useless. Jian Jixing had her completely. She took all of her hitting and anger as playful flirtation, and she was still smiling, the curve of her lips full of indulgence. Anyway, Sheng Ruxi’s hits didn’t hurt at all. Jian Jixing grabbed Sheng Ruxi’s hand and pressed it against her own body. “So what?”

You hate me? So what?

Jian Jixing poked the person in front of her on the chest with her fingertips, smiling meaningfully. “Actually, you don’t hate me in your heart.”

Sheng Ruxi didn’t want to listen to her and turned her head to the side.

Jian Jixing wrapped her arms around Sheng Ruxi’s waist. Sheng Ruxi didn’t refuse, but in the next second, she really bit her.

And her target was clear: Jian Jixing’s lips.

Jian Jixing also turned her head like Sheng Ruxi, and Sheng Ruxi only managed to bite her neck.

“You want to kiss me?” It hurt a little. Jian Jixing gasped and asked slowly.

Sheng Ruxi stared at the spot. “I just wanted to bite you.” She just wanted to know if only by sucking on her could she make Jian Jixing stop being so stubborn? She was so soft to kiss.

“We can’t kiss tonight. My cold just got better. I’m afraid I’ll give it to you.”

Sheng Ruxi was very dissatisfied. This was a contest, unrelated to the lust surging through her body. Jian Jixing was avoiding her, so she bit Jian Jixing in various places.

Slowly, the calm breathing became rapid, then quickly fused. Jian Jixing had to constantly avoid Sheng Ruxi’s kisses. In the darkness, the sound of the sheets rustling and their bodies touching was deadly. The winner of this contest was already decided.

Just like their run in the night before, they didn’t say anything, only heavy, continuous breathing.

Sheng Ruxi’s scent gland was very swollen. This place didn’t lie. The longer she endured, the more pheromones accumulated. Jian Jixing’s breath came over. “You always say I don’t take care of myself. Aren’t you forcing yourself like this too?”

Jian Jixing could face her physiological desires head-on, but Sheng Ruxi couldn’t, which was obvious from the way she always drank inhibitors.

Sheng Ruxi didn’t say anything. Jian Jixing bit down decisively. Sheng Ruxi’s body trembled, and she didn’t dodge at all. Jian Jixing soothed her back and loosened her teeth. “If you ever need anything, even if it’s not during your heat, you can tell me.”

“…Nonsense.” Sheng Ruxi’s breathing was a mess. She occasionally adjusted to Jian Jixing’s hand. “Do you always talk so much nonsense at times like this?”

Jian Jixing chuckled and bit down harder. “Looks like you have plenty of energy.”

Jian Jixing held Sheng Ruxi down. At the same time, she restrained Sheng Ruxi’s mischievous hands, deeply pressing them into the soft pillows, her fingers intertwined.

A great sense of pulling came from their intertwined fingers. Sheng Ruxi was so soft that Jian Jixing had to control herself, easing her grip, so as not to crush this fragile thing.

Her shirt was wrinkled and loose. Her clothes were external. Her fingertips were holding something more important.

It seemed that every time she felt a strong change, it was from holding Sheng Ruxi’s hand.

Ten years ago, Sheng Ruxi found her, held her hand, and participated in her confusing and unattended differentiation.

Ten years later, a drunk Sheng Ruxi broke into her room, grabbed her collar, and kissed her, leading to this marriage between them.

Tonight. Sheng Ruxi’s fingers were intertwined with hers. She felt that she had really grabbed onto something.

Something tangible, yet hard to describe. It made her feel that the world and the person in front of her were so real at this moment, breaking through all rules and rushing into her heart and in front of her.

Sheng Ruxi suddenly tensed up. The blankness in her mind wasn’t momentary. She wanted to curl up, to sit up.

But Jian Jixing held her down.

There was a pillow underneath, but Jian Jixing’s hand quickly came over, resting under her head, easing the pressure.

Sheng Ruxi was a little dazed. She shouldn’t have been distracted at a time like this, but she was, purely because of Jian Jixing.

How could Jian Jixing be like this?

She could be both unserious and gentle and considerate at the same time. Sheng Ruxi couldn’t tell if it was genuine or fake, but either way, it made her want to fall into it.

She suddenly felt that she was truly in danger, as if she had really become Jian Jixing’s prey and was about to be taken.

Is this right?

The person she liked was clearly—

“What are you spacing out for?” Jian Jixing’s movements sped up, punishing Sheng Ruxi for her distraction. When Sheng Ruxi’s tears came out, Jian Jixing lowered her head and wiped them away.

Sheng Ruxi felt that she must be crazy.

Sheng Ruxi said, “I hate you…”

“Then what do you like?” Jian Jixing held up her wet hand, waved it in front of Sheng Ruxi, and after drying it, used a wet wipe to clean Sheng Ruxi’s face.

Sheng Ruxi said, “I like things that are beautiful and obedient.”

“Too bad. I’m not a ‘thing,'” Jian Jixing said and then laughed at herself. Her other hand was still tightly holding Sheng Ruxi’s. She looked up and suddenly felt that their intertwined hands were too bare. “What kind of ring do you like?”

Sheng Ruxi’s breathing was still interrupted. She tried to stop the sobs. “Definitely not one you gave me—”

“Say that again?” Jian Jixing said. “I won’t carry you to the bathroom later.”

“A big one, a beautiful one, one that no one else has.” Sheng Ruxi pouted. She finally gathered some strength and kicked Jian Jixing.

Jian Jixing just laughed, but at this moment, she was considerate. She cleaned Sheng Ruxi up and went back to bed to sleep.

Sheng Ruxi was exhausted and fell asleep quickly. Jian Jixing took out her phone and opened a memo.

She didn’t know when she had started using this memo less and less.

It was concise, with the word: [Count]

This was where she recorded the twelve times she and Sheng Ruxi were supposed to have sex in their marriage. And she had already crossed out the first three times.

One time, one check.

This time, she opened her phone, but she didn’t check the box. Instead, she left a blank line and wrote: [Needs to be big, beautiful, and unique.]

**

The next day, Jian Jixing returned to the film set full of energy. Her sickness was gone, and her face was flushed.

When she got to the elevator, she happened to run into Xie Ruizhang, who was coming down. Xie Ruizhang was staring at her phone, looking as if she were nailed to the spot. When she looked up and saw Jian Jixing, she seemed startled, almost dropping her phone.

Jian Jixing was confused. “Morning.”

“Director Jian, are you okay? You?” Xie Ruizhang said, looking her up and down. “Are you hurt? Did Sheng Ruxi hit you last night?”

Jian Jixing couldn’t help but touch her own shoulder, making sure she wasn’t wearing an off-the-shoulder shirt today. How could Sheng Ruxi hit her? But that sharp-tongued little thing had left a clear bite mark on her right shoulder, which wouldn’t disappear in a day or two.

“Something wrong?” Jian Jixing looked at her strangely. “If you have time, why don’t you go polish your storyboards and think about how to film at Snow Sheep Peak?”

Xie Ruizhang looked at Jian Jixing for a long time, put her phone away, and said, “Director Jian, I’m glad you and Ruxi didn’t fight.”

Jian Jixing found Xie Ruizhang a little neurotic. She didn’t say much and went to the set to supervise and review the footage, occasionally checking the time.

Just as she put her phone down, Yu Miaolan rushed over.

“Director Jian, what happened last night? You two are trending!”

Jian Jixing was calm. “What’s the trending topic?” Since she and Sheng Ruxi had made those statements at the awards ceremony, being on the trending list was common. Jian Jixing didn’t think much of it.

Just then, Little Pigeon came over on horseback, sounding excited. “Sister Jixing, have you checked your phone?”

Jian Jixing said coolly, “No.”

It wasn’t a big deal.

“Should we respond to this?” Yu Miaolan handed her phone to Jian Jixing. Jian Jixing didn’t really want to look, but since it was right in front of her, she naturally glanced at it.

[Entertainment Dispatch: Is this still the same Director Jian and Sheng Ruxi who used to be at odds with each other? The filming has transformed the mortal enemies! Last night, a passerby in Taoxi Valley accidentally saw Sheng Ruxi and Director Jian taking a walk alone on the street. If it weren’t for the video evidence, they would have thought they were seeing things!/shocked]

The video was playing.

It showed Jian Jixing and Sheng Ruxi running in the night. It was clearly filmed by a passerby and was a little blurry. But in the night scenery, it actually added to the atmosphere.

The video was taken while running, and there were many passersby last night, so there were various angles. If you didn’t look closely, you would think this was a scene from a movie.

Jian Jixing realized that when she was running in front of the crowd with Sheng Ruxi, the expression on her face was so relaxed and genuine.

She was stunned and couldn’t help but look at the top comments below.

[Omg, I thought this was a leaked scene from a romance drama.]

[Are they just discussing the scene? But I don’t see any crew members following them. Is this a private trip??]

[Does Taoxi Valley have this kind of magic? Even these kinds of mortal enemies can have sparks of romance here? Wait, I’m going to go visit there myself.]

[Help, it goes so well with the behind-the-scenes footage from the studio. It has that love-hate dynamic!]

[Director Jian has always been good at shooting these subtle emotions, right? The two leads from her first movie, Moss, started dating after filming.]

[Wait, doesn’t this look a lot like a reproduction of the iconic scene between Sheng Ruxi and the second female lead, Zou Xinjie, in her movie Rose Path?]

[Wuwuwu, our Little Rose couple will never lose. I knew Sheng Sheng had such a great atmosphere. They said it was hard to get out of character after filming. Their on-screen chemistry was amazing!!]

[[Image] Here’s an iconic picture of Sheng Ruxi and Zou Xinjie during the movie promotion. We were told that they were so affected after filming that they couldn’t get out of character. I never thought we’d get a follow-up now/cry]

[I heard they dated but broke up, just like the two leads in Director Jian’s first art-house film. Didn’t they also get together after filming and then break up?]

The photo was of Sheng Ruxi and Zou Xinjie running hand-in-hand on the beach, which had a very romantic feel.

Jian Jixing automatically replaced the beach scene in her mind with the commercial street from yesterday.

It really did look like the real thing, except for the people and the scenery.

A reproduction of an iconic scene?

Jian Jixing’s eyes narrowed. At the same time, she saw a comment below that said: [I’m swooning, woohoo. When can we get a reproduction of the iconic kiss?]

Jian Jixing was just looking for a topic. She took out her phone, found the popular comment, took a screenshot, and sent it to Sheng Ruxi’s chat.
