Long Xiaoxi felt as if her heart was about to jump out of her chest. She instinctively tried to retaliate, only to hear a familiar voice. “It’s me,” said Jin Yiheng.
She turned around and asked in a shaking voice, “What… are you doing!?! Hurry and let go of me!”
Jin Yiheng pressed her down onto the bed, causing her to be unable to move at all. Due to the fact that she only had a towel wrapped around her body, the towel would be unwrapped once she moves about too vigorously.
Hence, she lay still and stared at him. They could not see each other’s faces clearly in the pitch darkness of the room. However, she could tell that he was keeping his eyes glued onto her.
Long Xiaoxi felt that Jin Yiheng was acting out of the ordinary, and she had not decided to cut him out of her life completely yet.
“Just what do you want?”
He lay down and held her in his arms. “Could you give me a chance to verify something?”
“Verify what?”
“Verify… if I’m still considering you as my sister and if I’m just acting this way out of guilt, or because of another reason.”
Long Xiaoxi heaved a sigh of relief and asked, “How do you want to verify that?”
He then kissed her on the lips, catching her by surprise. Long Xiaoxi froze in shock as all her blood rushed to her head rapidly. She was overwhelmed with an indescribable feeling, and her mind went blank.
Jin Yiheng did not stop there. Instead, he turned over and pinned her beneath him.
Several minutes later, he finally stopped.
Long Xiaoxi squinted at him and asked, “Have you verified it yet?”
“No, let me try again.”
After the second time, Long Xiaoxi wiped her mouth with her hand and remarked in disdain, “You’re just trying to take liberties with me.”
“The fact that I can bring myself to kiss you and get a reaction out of it just means that I don’t actually see you as my sister. I’m not leaving tonight,” he said, pulling the duvet up to cover them both.
“I’m going to yell for help, then.”
“Go ahead,” he said dauntlessly.
Unable to tolerate it any further, Long Xiaoxi snapped, “I still remember you saying that we ought to keep a distance because there’s a difference between the sexes. Practice what you preach. Get out of my house now.”
“Since when did I say that? Why don’t I remember it at all?”
“You’re feigning amnesia? Get out now. Don’t make me repeat myself again!” she hollered.
He rested her head on his arm and inched closer toward her. “Go to bed. I’ll leave once you doze off.”
Long Xiaoxi was screaming in exasperation internally, for she was infuriated at herself.
She was constantly persuading herself to muster up the courage and tell him to scram.
However, she remained still and continued lying there.
Long Xiaoxi felt pathetic and upset because she could not hold her pride high in front of the person she fancied.
Whenever she took a glance at him, she would wish that she could get closer to him despite knowing that she shouldn’t.
She would feel as if all her troubles and woes were gone whenever he smiled at her.
She dozed off and had a dreamless night. She woke up again to discover that he had really left like he said he would.
Long Xiaoxi grabbed her mobile phone to look at the time, only to see that she had received a message.
It was from him.
Although it was short and concise, it was enough to send her into a rage.
“Your lips were so sweet. I want to taste them again today.”
She switched off her mobile phone and proceeded to take a shower, then changed into a fresh set of clothes before going downstairs for breakfast.
During breakfast, Mei Yangyang asked, “Yiheng was here for such a long time last night. What did you guys talk about inside your room?”
“Mother, you knew about his arrival?”
“Of course. There are surveillance cameras at home. There’s no way I wouldn’t have known,” Mei Yangyang said with raised brows.
“Nothing much. I just find him to be a nutcase now.”
Mei Yangyang chuckled and said, “I think he’s trying to pursue you now.”
“I’m going to ignore him.”
“You’re lying. Who do you think you can fool?”
“Brother…”
“I’m just telling the truth. Since you’ve already decided to marry Minhe, just tell Minhe about it and have a discussion with him. Don’t give Yiheng the chance to win your heart again. The decision lies with you. Think about it carefully.”
Long Xiaoxi remained silent.
Upon her return to the dormitory, Li Xiaoxiao handed her the costumes that they would be wearing. “Xuan Yin, this is yours. I collected it for you.”
“Alright, thank you.”
As soon as Long Xiaoxi finished speaking, she grabbed her hand and asked, “Xuan Yin, who was that hunk who picked you up yesterday?”
She whispered the answer to Li Xiaoxiao, who soon became dejected.
Upon the sight of her expression, Long Xiaoxi asked, “What’s the matter?”
“There’s no chance for me now.”
“Why so?”
“We’re incompatible in terms of status. Our family backgrounds are worlds apart. However, I couldn’t sleep at all last night because I kept thinking about him. I’ve never felt like this before. I must have fallen for him.”
“His family doesn’t mind the difference. They’d respect his decision. He confirmed that he doesn’t have a girlfriend when I asked him about it last night. However, he said that he’s carrying a torch for someone, but he has never confessed to her because she has a boyfriend.”
Li Xiaoxiao asked earnestly, “Xuan Yin, do they really not mind the difference in status?”
“Yes, I support your decision to woo him. Rongyan is a medical genius. He’s very good-tempered too. Happiness lies in your own hands. How would you know if you don’t try? Even if you fail, you’d at least have no regrets. After all, you’ve already tried your best, right?”
“You really support my decision?”
“Why wouldn’t I? I think you have a great personality. However, I can’t give you his mobile number. You’ll have to work for it. I can tell you where his workplace is, but to be honest with you, he doesn’t have a good impression of you. Could you straighten your hair? I think that’d be better.”
Li Xiaoxiao agreed with a nod, “Of course. I’ll do it later.”
Seeing how eager she was, Long Xiaoxi smiled and said, “By the way, don’t put on such heavy makeup anymore. I think you’d have a greater chance if you don’t.”
“Alright.”
Li Xiaoxiao would do anything to attract the man she was smitten with.
Thus, she straightened her hair and dyed it back to black before putting on some light makeup. She seemed like a whole different person.
Long Xiaoxi complimented her, finding her to look much better.
Li Xiaoxiao felt much more confident and asked her for the address of Jin Rongyan’s workplace. She planned to look for him after the contest.
