It didn't really feel like a kiss, at least not at first.
When Li Xuan kissed someone, he was like some ferocious animal, a wolf or a leopard. Reckless and without any rules, but he would not leave his lips for even a moment.
At first, it felt like a bite, and Sheng Min felt a little pain from the kiss. A thin layer of sweat appeared between their intertwined fingers, and Li Xuan instinctively probed the gap between his lips.
He was determined to succeed in whatever he did, and his hands had moved from Sheng Min's neck to his waist, tightly holding him, not allowing him to retreat even a little bit, and there was really no way to retreat. But Sheng Min tasted a hint of grievance from his fierce actions, and her heart softened, and she loosened her lips.
Li Xuan finally tasted the sweetness on his tongue. He had never known that he was addicted to sweets. Sheng Min's soft tongue was the only satisfactory candy he had found for himself in the past 22 years.
This kiss lasted longer than expected. Li Xuan was so impatient, yet so patient, and he didn't want to let go. The two of them even forgot to breathe, and when they were almost out of breath, Li Xuan finally let go reluctantly. As if it wasn't enough, her eyes still fell on his lips.
No one spoke for a moment, the sound of heartbeats was the only drumbeat in the silent space.
Their bodies were still pressed together, and her waist was held in his hand. Sheng Min tried to distance herself a little, but Li Xuan immediately moved closer.
"Let go first." Sheng Min calmed his breathing, lowered his eyes, and discussed with him.
"No." He refused rudely and unreasonably.
Li Xuan used all his strength. Sheng Min didn't want to fight him, so he simply gave up struggling. After a while, he asked softly, "Have you thought it through?"
"I don't want to think about it anymore... I miss you." Li Xuan stared at him, embarrassed but impatient to confess himself, "I miss you every day, and my bones ache."
This was not what he said, but it was a sign of weakness, and he seemed to be confident of winning. Before he finished speaking, he kissed her again, as if he could no longer bear it.
Sheng Min was completely stunned and pushed his chest subconsciously, but Li Xuan just tilted his head and rubbed his nose lightly, as if he was playing tricks, and Sheng Min let him succeed easily again.
This time he was probably satisfied, and after breaking apart he licked his lower lip contentedly. Looking at Sheng Min's lips that were red from being kissed and the blood on his pale face, an arc of restraint unconsciously appeared on his lips.
Sheng Min suddenly felt annoyed. She couldn't tell whether she was angry at Li Xuan or at her own indecisive stance. She pushed him hard and struggled out of his arms. Her shirt rubbed against the wall, leaving a smear of dust. She looked up at Li Xuan, her breathing still uneven.
Under his rare gaze that contained a hint of silent accusation, Li Xuan finally realized that his belated confession had not yet been responded to—if that could be counted.
He panicked immediately, his smile frozen on his face, but he reacted quickly and immediately grabbed Sheng Min's hand. Sheng Min moved slightly, and he pressed it tightly against his chest. He stared at Sheng Min's profile, his Adam's apple moved, and after a long time he squeezed out a sentence: "Okay?"
"What's good or not?" Sheng Min said softly, "Me?"
Li Xuan slowly leaned over and pressed his forehead against his: "Of course you are very good... I said me, we."
Sheng Min didn't say anything for a while, letting him stick close to her. The fine hair fell on her cheek, and under her palm was Li Xuan's heartbeat, and every beat was transmitted into Sheng Min's heart along the palm lines and pulse.
Why are you jumping so fast
Li Xuan's fingers pressed on the back of his hand rubbed unconsciously, and his other hand was around him, with a cautious gesture, as if he was hugging a precious and fragile white porcelain.
He is nervous.
Realizing this, Sheng Min's slight anger disappeared in an instant, and his heart felt sore. Was it him who was pressing Li Xuan's heart or was it Li Xuan who was pressing him
He had to lower his eyes to hide his gaffe, but Li Xuan immediately became alert again and tentatively called his name.
"Yeah." Sheng Min responded softly.
Li Xuan felt that he still had a lot to say, but he couldn't find any more words in an instant. He forgot all the words he had prepared along the way and just called him again: "Sheng Min."
It was as if these two short words were some ancient lost spell. He was addicted to it, and was bound to drag the other party down with him.
Shengmin sighed silently, slowly put his arms around his neck, looked up into his eyes, and whispered, "Okay."
This time, the person who was stunned was Li Xuan, but Sheng Min did not avoid or evade his gaze.
"Do you want to think about it more?" Li Xuan knew he was being stupid after asking this question. He felt like he was in a dream, and he had never been so unclear even in his dreams.
"No." Sheng Min shook her head. She stared at him for a long time and smiled softly. She leaned in and kissed his lips, "I said yes. You can do whatever you want... I promised you a long time ago."
Compared to the previous kiss, this was barely a kiss, but Li Xuan's ears felt hot, and his neck turned red. He seemed to have never been so stupid before, and he was willing to expose all his weaknesses in front of Sheng Min.
He didn't know what to do with his hands and feet. It shouldn't be so chaotic. Sheng Min's feelings were already clear in front of him. But I still couldn't say a complete sentence for a long time.
So Sheng Min said.
"I love you."
He took the initiative to hug Li Xuan back, gently and frankly: "So let's be together. As long as you want."
After a full half minute or more, Li Xuan suddenly raised his hands and hugged his thin back with great force, as if he wanted to rub Sheng Min into his body bones and make him his own property.
The body is so hot that even through the clothes I can feel the scorching temperature of the skin. How can I be stingy if I fly into the fire and burn myself? Is this what it means
Li Xuan's heart was still beating fast, and Sheng Min gently stroked his back.
This is good, this is the best. Sheng Min thought. He was reluctant to let Li Xuan experience the feeling of panic or nervousness for even a second, so he even skipped the waiting for him. There was no definite answer, so no matter what result Li Xuan wanted, he was willing to give it to him.
Since I was a teenager, I have played in so many romantic scripts, in which countless infatuated men and resentful women were tormented, up and down in their search, and the whining lines said that love is a competition and a trick of guessing one's heart.
Sheng Min didn't understand at that time, and Li Xuan's love couldn't teach him.
The desire to win is something that is always lacking. In this fight between only two people, if he is the referee, he will give him the most partiality and mercy, and if they are opponents, he will be the first to surrender.
Sheng Min didn't care about being the winner, as long as Li Xuan always got the crown. He could be the one who applauded him on the side of the road, or he could be his trophy.
The hug lasted for a long time, or maybe it was just a moment. They were trapped in the space-time universe created by each other, and time had changed its measurement method. The moment and eternity turned out to be the same length.
Until the phone rang suddenly, breaking the silence. Li Xuan didn't move, Sheng Min gently pushed him and said, "Answer the phone."
Li Xuan reluctantly let go of him and pressed the answer button: "Hello?"
"Where have you been?" This was the third time Qi Boyuan had called. He didn't react when the call was connected. He only remembered to ask after hearing Li Xuan's "hello" twice, "Are you coming back?"
"Where to go?"
Qi Boyuan was confused by his self-righteous question: "Go back to the company... Don't you have a meeting? Should you postpone it for half an hour or cancel it?"
"Maybe not in half an hour." Li Xuan looked down at the time. "You can host it first. You are more familiar with the basic working conditions than I am."
"What about next month's version update? You wrote all the plans."
"I'll talk about that later."
"Okay..."
Qi Boyuan probably wanted to ask something else, but Li Xuan just said that's it, hung up the phone, and smiled apologetically at Sheng Min.
"Want to go back to the company?" Sheng Min asked without any concern.
Li Xuan nodded. Qi Boyuan's call helped him regain some sanity. He just dragged Sheng Min away. It was a miracle that he could stay quiet until now. He coughed and said, "Didn't Yang Xu look for you?"
"The phone is still in airplane mode."
After switching the settings, a bunch of WeChat red dots and missed reminder messages immediately popped up, most of which were from Yang Xu.
Sheng Min first opened Weibo to take a look at the situation. As expected, there was a huge uproar in the super topic. Fortunately, Li Xuan was wearing a mask, and although there were many pictures, his face was not photographed.
However, some careful fans have already spotted the same figure in previous event photos by comparing body shapes.
"Let's go, it's the assistant. He has appeared in several events..."
“Is this figure really that of an assistant?… Does anyone have a frontal photo? A friend of mine wants to see it…”
"Here it is. Picture.jpg"
"This is Yang Xu's, it's a million miles away, are you blind..."
“Are there any clearer photos, either wearing a mask or with a landline phone quality… Which scrap yard did the station sister recycle from?”
"Who would go out of their way to take photos of an assistant? Can the freeloaders keep their mouths shut?"
…
Most of the comments were cursing the agency and the private fans, and all the outrageous actions in the past were made into big-character posters and posted everywhere.
However, under the video of them running together, which has been played millions of times, the top comment came from a passerby.
"It's like an elopement."
