After A Secret Marriage Agreement With A Rival Omega - Chapter 65

Chapter 65

◎ This is a beautiful dream that you don’t have to fear waking up from. ◎

All the late-night phone calls.

All the deliberate tests.

At this moment, it all turned into nothing in Jian Jixing’s ears. She was about to drown in Sheng Ruxi’s eyes.

Jian Jixing had always understood that Sheng Ruxi was a person full of love. She was a princess who was raised by beauty.

At this moment, Jian Jixing belatedly realized—years ago, behind those campus pranks, she had also hoped that Sheng Ruxi would pour a little bit of her love onto her.

Before she could speak, Sheng Ruxi pulled the back of her neck down.

Their lips touched.

All the strength Sheng Ruxi had recovered was only enough for a light, fleeting kiss.

Jian Jixing’s forced calm and composure disappeared. Her arm supported Sheng Ruxi, and she sighed softly: “You can never drink like this again when I’m not around.”

“Do you still know who I am?”

Sheng Ruxi pursed her lips. Her soft lips had no lipstick, with a natural pink color, like a light pink rose.

Her answer was slow: “I don’t know anymore.”

“Then can you tell me what else you’re hiding from me?” Jian Jixing moved her position, slowly putting Sheng Ruxi down. Her tone was gentle and calm. “And why were you angry?”

Sheng Ruxi had stopped crying. Now her eyes were starting to hurt. Although she had some strength, she still nestled shamelessly in Jian Jixing’s arms. She lifted her chin and moved closer to Jian Jixing’s neck.

She seemed to realize who was in front of her.

Sensing that Jian Jixing was trying to trick her into talking, Sheng Ruxi’s dizzy head became a little clearer. She spoke at an extremely slow pace: “Mm… What else am I hiding from you? Is it that I often called Wu Wu afterward? And why do you care about why I’m angry?”

“Why you’re angry is exactly why I care about you.”

“I was angry because you don’t care about me,” Sheng Ruxi said directly. “You care about me, but you didn’t come to find me. Did you?”

She finally spoke the truth, but did this truth have to come with the prefix “often called Chu Wu”? If it didn’t have this prefix, Jian Jixing would have been happier to hear it.

Jian Jixing replied: “I didn’t care about you. I’m back now.”

“That’s because we’re still nominal partners. We have that contract.”

“Not entirely.”

“Then that’s it!” Sheng Ruxi opened her mouth as if to bite her. Jian Jixing didn’t move or try to dodge. Sheng Ruxi closed her mouth again. She said: “Besides our cooperative treatment obligations, we have no other connection.”

Moreover, Jian Jixing’s pheromone allergy had improved greatly. This could be seen from the last hospital examination results and her reaction when she came to rescue her this time.

Sheng Ruxi stared at Jian Jixing. Her voice was slow and low. You had to lean in very close to hear it.

“Without the contract we made out of spite, without the obligation to treat each other, without Wu Wu’s words, what do you really feel for me in your heart?”

Her voice and breath were too close, causing Jian Jixing’s ears to keep getting warmer.

Her heart thumped with every word and every sentence. Even her memories couldn’t calm down.

Jian Jixing turned her head and stared at Sheng Ruxi’s eyes.

At this moment, she saw Sheng Ruxi’s cheeks turn red. The tear stains had been wiped away, and her eyes were glistening like a spring.

“It’s not just an obligation, Sheng Ruxi… I just realized that I also make you so insecure. I think I just understood that the love you told me about before wasn’t the kind of love that could also flow to others, as you said.”

As Sheng Ruxi said, it was a preference.

You can like many people, but preference can only be given to one. Otherwise, where does the preference come from?

Sheng Ruxi wasn’t using her as an experiment. She was truly accepting her.

She thought that with Sheng Ruxi’s pride, even if she didn’t go to her, her life would be spectacular enough. She was wrong. There were some things that no one else could replace besides the other person.

Jian Jixing finally completely understood the point of her anger—Sheng Ruxi missed her and just wanted to see her. So she was upset that she hadn’t gone to see her for two days.

She could have talked to her the whole time, but she let herself get drunk and, under the influence of alcohol, poured out all the grievances in her heart.

At this point, Jian Jixing even felt that she should thank the alcohol tonight for making her understand Sheng Ruxi’s feelings.

Jian Jixing remembered that when she married Sheng Ruxi, she wrote a memo that recorded the remaining number of times she and Sheng Ruxi had to interact.

They were originally just to treat each other’s hidden illnesses and needed to complete twelve marks.

But from the time she recorded Sheng Ruxi’s favorite ring style, Jian Jixing never crossed them out again.

Sheng Ruxi was crying with a sense of injustice. The tears landed on the back of her hand. Her whole body was like a soft cloud and smelled very good. But she wickedly and inappropriately found that Sheng Ruxi’s tears tonight gave her a very strong feeling.

This was a feeling of being chosen firmly. A feeling Jian Jixing had never experienced since her mothers divorced and each had a new partner.

Sheng Ruxi heard her not say anything, and her mind was getting hazy again. In fact, she didn’t quite understand what Jian Jixing answered. She was just thinking that Jian Jixing didn’t care about her at all, and the tears that had just stopped were about to come back.

Jian Jixing’s finger pressed against the corner of Sheng Ruxi’s eye, asking: “Do you want to ask that question again?”

She already had the answer in her heart. Even if Sheng Ruxi was drunk now and wouldn’t remember it tomorrow, Jian Jixing wanted to tell her seriously.

To start everything over, to clear everything.

Her eyes would also follow Sheng Ruxi, as always.

Sheng Ruxi, however, seemed to have lost all her strength and was about to slide out of Jian Jixing’s arms. After being propped up by Jian Jixing’s legs, she lay on Jian Jixing’s shoulder and turned her head to kiss Jian Jixing’s gland.

“Mmm… so good, I’m hungry…” She muttered and moved closer. “Ice cream, let me have a lick.”

Jian Jixing: “…I asked you to ask the question first.” So serious!

“Jian Jixing’s gland is a delicious gummy bear. I want to eat it all in one bite, awwoo…”

Jian Jixing reluctantly pulled her away: “Sheng Ruxi, how can you be drunk one moment and sober the next?”

“One day I’m going to pin Jian Jixing on the bed, on the sofa, on the sink…”

“Stop talking.” Jian Jixing felt her temple throbbing at the edge of rationality. She repeatedly warned herself not to take advantage of the situation at this moment. “Is that what you’ve been thinking about all this time?”

Sheng Ruxi suddenly became quiet again, not making a sound. But she was blowing air on the back of Jian Jixing’s neck. It was so ticklish that Jian Jixing couldn’t stand it. She put her arms around her shoulders and pulled her close. Sheng Ruxi’s eyes were hazy and she said: “So how can Jian Jixing not like me?”

Jian Jixing really didn’t know who Sheng Ruxi thought she was now. “She didn’t say she didn’t like you, Sheng Ruxi?”

Sheng Ruxi had no reaction to those three words. She blinked, and hot tears rolled down. “I told you Jian Jixing doesn’t like me.”

Jian Jixing’s brows furrowed tightly. She knew it was completely the wrong time, but she still said seriously and solemnly: “I like you.”

“Really? Do you like Wu Wu, too? Then go after her quickly.” Sheng Ruxi’s eyes lit up. “First, you have to become an omega. Wu Wu likes omegas. When she rejected Jian Jixing before, that’s what she said. She said she couldn’t accept AA relationships…”

“I know, I know Wu Wu was just being more tactful. She just doesn’t like Jian Jixing.”

“…”

Jian Jixing didn’t want to hear Sheng Ruxi ramble about the past. “Sheng Ruxi!”

Sheng Ruxi shook her head, her eyes closed. She was completely unlike her usual self and image. She didn’t know if she had heard her.

Jian Jixing had just held her when Sheng Ruxi spontaneously hung herself on Jian Jixing.

Jian Jixing knew she couldn’t indulge this anymore, so she patted Sheng Ruxi’s back: “Take your medicine.”

“No, I can’t leave you.”

Sheng Ruxi whined and hung on Jian Jixing’s body like a clingy child. She seemed to be treating Jian Jixing as her toy, pinching Jian Jixing’s earlobe one moment and her face the next.

Her hands were never idle for a moment.

Jian Jixing held Sheng Ruxi with one hand. With the person protected in her arms in this position, she used a single hand to break the pill: “Have we ever left each other?”

They had already become conjoined twins since Sheng Ruxi was picked up and put on the sofa.

“Open your mouth,” Jian Jixing glanced at the box. It said the hangover pill was lemon-flavored. As long as it wasn’t bitter, it should be easy to swallow.

“Are you going to kiss me?” Sheng Ruxi looked up. Her eyes were curved into crescents. She pouted slightly: “Then I’ll allow you to kiss me.”

Looking at her drunken state, did she even know who the person in front of her was to ask for a kiss? Jian Jixing found it both funny and annoying. From her face, you couldn’t tell if Sheng Ruxi was drunk, but the faint scent of alcohol in her breath and her behavior all indicated that she was a little drunkard.

The pill wasn’t very big. Jian Jixing pinched it and was about to put it in, but Sheng Ruxi saw it and dodged. She twisted her face away and refused to take it. Jian Jixing heard what she was saying in her mouth.

“You kiss me first, and I’ll eat it.”

For a moment, Jian Jixing thought about being a little forceful, directly pinching Sheng Ruxi’s chin and throwing the pill in.

But it was only for that moment.

She thought of Sheng Ruxi’s delicate skin that easily turned red with a touch and quickly dismissed the idea.

She quietly looked at Sheng Ruxi. Sheng Ruxi opened her eyes. Her long and curly eyelashes fluttered. She smiled very innocently: “Hurry up.”

Was she underestimating her too much? Did she really think she wouldn’t take advantage of the situation?

There was almost no hesitation in Jian Jixing’s heart. She reached out and covered Sheng Ruxi’s eyes, then kissed her soft lips.

In her palm, the tips of those eyelashes trembled rapidly twice, feeling slightly itchy.

This was clearly beyond Sheng Ruxi’s expectations, but this was what Jian Jixing wanted. She ignored the palpitations in her heart from the previous second and quickly made Sheng Ruxi hold the pill in her mouth.

Afterward, her nimble finger pressed on the back of Sheng Ruxi’s neck.

The sore feeling from her gland made Sheng Ruxi let out a small gasp. Her lips opened to the perfect angle. Jian Jixing picked up the water glass and made her drink a mouthful. She finally got the hangover pill down.

Everything happened too fast. Sheng Ruxi swallowed so fast that she even hiccupped and looked at Jian Jixing with a blank expression.

Jian Jixing: “…”

The sourness made Sheng Ruxi’s body tremble. It went straight to the top of her head. She had always hated sour things… Looking at Jian Jixing, who was still holding the water glass, Sheng Ruxi regained three-tenths of her consciousness: “Jian Jixing, you’re bullying me!”

“Where did I bully you tonight?” Jian Jixing put down the water glass and looked at her with a helpless expression. “You’re the one who got drunk and is all muddled tonight.” So Jian Jixing accepted whatever Sheng Ruxi said about her. Who would argue with a little drunkard?

The sourness of the pill made Sheng Ruxi feel a sourness all over her body, as if it had seeped into her bones. There were pheromones everywhere. Jian Jixing’s deep-toned incense completely enveloped her. It was as if she was wearing no clothes at all.

Wait.

Clothes?

“Did you do anything to me?” With so many pheromones in this room, it was hard not to overthink. Sheng Ruxi’s head was dizzy, her limbs were weak. She finally realized that her hands were actually wrapped around Jian Jixing’s neck, and Jian Jixing’s gland was astonishingly hot.

This was clearly arousal—

As if she realized something, Sheng Ruxi finally took her hands off Jian Jixing’s body. But at the same time, she started to untie the belt of her pajamas.

“I need to check.”

Sheng Ruxi sat up straight and knelt on the soft sofa. The two sides of her pajamas separated, revealing her slightly red knees.

Just like that, her knees turned red.

Jian Jixing’s eyes darkened, but she didn’t stop Sheng Ruxi.

The belt of these pajamas was very wide, like a corset, making Sheng Ruxi’s waist extremely thin. Now that the belt was slightly loosened, the soft fabric actually slid off her shoulders first.

Sheng Ruxi lowered her head and carefully looked for any marks on her body, completely unaware that the temperature in Jian Jixing’s eyes was rising.

Even if Jian Jixing wanted to think about everything more simply, the impact of Sheng Ruxi’s body was still too strong. Even if it was just her long neck, straight shoulders, and collarbone. The large area of fair, cool skin was like a scattering of white pearl sea, with a soft and smooth luster, yet it was overwhelming.

Her eyes couldn’t look away.

In that milky-white softness, some curves of her body were revealed. The loosened robe covered most of it, but it was still possible to see the roundness and fullness.

She really couldn’t look anymore. What brand were these pajamas? She really couldn’t let Sheng Ruxi wear them again, at least not in front of anyone else.

Sheng Ruxi searched for a long time and didn’t find a single bite mark on her body. When she was about to pull it down further, she saw Jian Jixing’s silent gaze looking at her.

The next moment, Sheng Ruxi let out a small scream: “Why are you in my room—”

Jian Jixing couldn’t bear the annoyance anymore. She also came back to her senses from that scream. She picked up Sheng Ruxi, put her on the bed, wrapped her up, and then went into the bedroom to take a shower.

She had to be clean, hygienic, and aware of… the consequences. Even if something were to happen, it had to be after she showered.

Jian Jixing showered quickly, but when she came out, the person on the bed was already quiet. The water on the bedside table had been finished. She lightened her footsteps to go and check. Sheng Ruxi was already fast asleep.

The hangover pill probably took effect, and Sheng Ruxi didn’t feel uncomfortable anymore, so she fell asleep.

The heat in Jian Jixing’s heart had not subsided yet, but looking at Sheng Ruxi sleeping peacefully on the bed, the world became quiet. The places on her body that Sheng Ruxi had touched gradually calmed down, gathering all the small currents and pumping them into her heartbeat.

She knew she was smiling. Perhaps her expression was surprisingly gentle. Her desire hadn’t disappeared, but when she looked at Sheng Ruxi at this moment, it had nothing to do with desire.

Jian Jixing went to the bed, helped loosen the blanket for Sheng Ruxi, turned up the air conditioning a little, and then turned on the pheromone cleaning mode. A cold air flowed in, and the air outside was being exchanged.

In the middle of summer, even the coldest scent would be tinged with passion.

Her coat was still on the carpet. A few lights in the room were still on. The glass, the wine bottle, was quietly in the air, flowing with the scent of wine and Sheng Ruxi’s breath.

Jian Jixing went and picked everything up, tidied up, and turned off all the lights except for the last one. Only then did she lie down beside Sheng Ruxi.

When she sank into the bed, Sheng Ruxi, who was already in a dream, seemed to sense it and burrowed into her arms. Jian Jixing opened her arms and held her.

She touched Sheng Ruxi’s cheek and the temperature on the back of her neck, including her gland. After confirming that everything had returned to normal, the worry in Jian Jixing’s heart finally completely dissipated.

She reached out and quietly pinched Sheng Ruxi’s nose. She looked at her for a long time. When she found her finger rubbing the corner of Sheng Ruxi’s eye, she laughed to herself.

She was afraid that Sheng Ruxi would cry. She was also afraid that the things she said to Sheng Ruxi before she fell asleep wouldn’t be what she wanted to hear, and those emotions would reappear in her dreams.

She didn’t want Sheng Ruxi to cry anymore, and she didn’t want Sheng Ruxi to be unhappy.

Thankfully, Sheng Ruxi’s emotions seemed to be stable. Her lips were even slightly turned up, as if she was having a beautiful dream.

At first, when she and Sheng Ruxi lay on the same bed, they wished there was a river between them. Now, she was able to nestle in her arms with so much trust.

Jian Jixing pulled her hand back and closed her eyes.

To be able to sleep while hugging Sheng Ruxi, who was having a beautiful dream, was a beautiful dream for her tonight as well.

A beautiful dream that she no longer had to fear waking up from.
