Chapter 87 - No Kiss
"So... I uh... I never thought that this would be so awkward."Jiang Yue blushed. She initially thought that she could imitate Fu Jin's mother and be confident enough to ask for marriage.
However, it seems that she is still young and inexperienced. She started to think about the things that might happen if she will also ask him to marry her.
Will he kiss her as well? Just like what his father did to his mother?
Um.... They won't have so much time to uh...
Jiang Yue's silly expression made Fu Jin laugh.
"Alright, Alright, I will marry you." He said while putting on the ring unto his finger.
"Eh?" It's that easy? He won't even kiss her?
Wait, so NO KISS?
Where is the kiss?
Why does it seem like she is a little disappointed now?
Ai, Jiang Yue could only blame Fu Jin's mother of this outcome. Look at her now? She was expecting for a kiss and well... it didn't happen.
She really doesn't know if she wanted to laugh or to cry.
This is totally out of her expectations ah.
"You seemed... unhappy? You- You didn't want me to say yes?" Fu Jin asked in his serious tone.
Jiang Yue immediately masked the disappointment in her face and smiled at him.
However, before she could say anything, his lips suddenly touched hers. Stealing every word that she wanted to say.
His warms lips pressed into hers as she started to kiss him back.
It was slow and soft. Comforting and gentle. Then she ran her fingers down his spine while pulling him closer until there was no space left in between them.
Fu Jin held her gently as he cupped her cheeks that is slowly turning red. He could hear the loud beating of her heart as she could hear his.
Both of their eyes fluttered shut as they welcome the rush of blood leaving tingles in every part of their body.
Slowly. Inexorably. They kiss each other like their last. Like every breath after this will depend on it.
Both of them exhaled through their nose. Not wanting to let go of this moment. Their body was overtaken by passion and relief as well as affection and lust.
Jiang Yue held Fu Jin tightly, gently as if she is afraid that this moment will end.
She knew. She had known deep down that this would be their last kiss before he boarded that plane.
Before he will temporarily leave her.
And to be honest, she would want for him to stay. Stay with her. Grow with her.
But she also understood that this was important for both of them.
Starting tomorrow there will be so much space between them.
Oceans and culture will stop them from seeing each other.
But they know how they have given each other something that they cannot live without.
The kiss grew deep as both of them wanted more. Something more than just a kiss.
Then she felt herself being pushed against the wall. Fu Jin's body pressing against hers.
Without any hesitation, Jiang Yue moved in sync with him.
Then before they knew it, Fu Jin had lifted her off her feet and started to give her neck small kisses. Teasing her as her heart race even faster.
A soft moan escaped her lips as Fu Jin's hands started to feel every part of her body. Fu Jin's hands traveled through her legs then to her waist. Leaving her shiver from the sparks of his touch.
Fu Jin's head slowly moved towards her left ears while his hands are still exploring her body.
"Yue" he whispered. His voice low, husky as if he is trying to suppress something inside him.
Fu Jin wanted to hear her stop him. He wanted to hear her say no. Or else, who knows what he might unleash?
However, Jiang Yue never wanted him to stop. No! She wanted more.
This is not her young and naive self. Hell, she already lived a quarter of a century in her previous life.
This is not running too fast like an inexperienced teenager.
This is what she wanted.
To feel something like this in this life is a blessing for someone like her. But, she also does not want to rush anything. After all, they will have to do this sooner or later.
Jiang Yue met Fu Jin's fiery gaze as she glided her hands through his hair. Pulling him into another kiss.
However this time it was a soft, short kiss.
"Come back after two years and I will give you more." She whispered before kissing his neck.
Fu Jin trembled from her sudden kiss. Then he cupped her face once again looking straight into her gray eyes.
"I love you." his declaration made Jiang Yue smile.
In this life, the only thing that is real is, love. The love from her family. The love from her grandfather, uncle, cousin and friends.
And now, the love from Fu Jin.
Jiang Yue, in turn, cupped Fu Jin's face as her eyes started to glimmer with watery tears.
She was never able to hear this words in her previous life. And she even died without hearing it.
"As I you Jin. As I you" she said as a single tear of happiness falls into her scarlet cheeks.
