Zong also sat up, staring at her intently, his hand slid down the wall and pressed on Jiang Chuyi's shoulder.
The room was pitch black, and the neon lights from the glass windows cast a shadow on the side of his face, like a long rainbow and a shooting star looming in the thick fog.
The screen of the mobile phone thrown in the corner lit up for a moment, then quickly went out and automatically switched to the next English song.
"Bad boys are like expensive pretty dolls"
“But I am willing to do it.”
Bang, bang, bang, her heart was beating rapidly and Jiang Chuyi was struggling to regulate her breathing.
I'm going to kiss you now.
This sentence was not a request for her opinion, but rather a final notice to her after his patience had run out.
She lay on a white cashmere blanket, beneath him, her black hair disheveled. In the struggle just now, the collar of her dress was wrinkled and crooked, revealing a thin strap on her shoulder.
The air conditioning from the hotel seemed to want to cool down everything in the room, but Zong was also extremely hot, and his self-control melted and disintegrated like a candle placed on volcanic rocks.
"I was tortured and treated like a piece of trash"
"I've been expecting you to favor me"
"Devils watch, angels turn a blind eye"
He slowly lowered his head, slightly drunk with heat, and kissed her temple, very lightly, like a hunter giving a last, gentle greeting to a dying lamb.
"Chu Yi..." His tone was a little strange, "I may need to ask for a day off for you tomorrow."
Jiang Chuyi blinked, "Huh?"
Zongye's confused and excited kiss moved to the corner of her eyes and he smiled briefly, "Are you sure you don't want to stop?"
"I have been waiting for you who will make me unforgettable to come to me"
"If I am covered in scars, I will not tell you until the last moment."
Jiang Chuyi had a confused look on her face, feeling that many things were out of place, but it was just a kiss, what was there to be afraid of? Why did she need to ask for leave
She thought groggily.
The room grew darker and darker, he stroked her ear bone, his fingers slid across her cheek, and finally stopped at her lips.
“Your image is spotless”
“My Heart Was in Pain”
"If you don't leave now." Souya knelt on the blanket and inserted his hands into the back of her head, "I won't stop later."
"I'm not leaving." Jiang Chuyi replied.
The English song reached its climax, with a female voice at the top of her lungs, a high-pitched and intense accompaniment, and a broken despair: "He looks up grinning like a devil"
—He smiled, like a demon descending
Zong Ye pressed forward.
Jiang Chuyi's eyes suddenly went dark, her body instantly tensed, and overwhelming kisses fell upon her, blocking out all her moans.
Neon lights flickered in front of her eyes. He held her up and pressed her against the wall and glass. Behind her was the cold and hard building, and in front of her was him, who fit her perfectly. Jiang Chuyi had nowhere to escape.
They seemed to melt together into the blanket beneath them.
He grabbed her wrists with his hands, pushed her legs apart, pried her lips open with his crazy tongue, forced her head back, and her nostrils to take in all his scents.
Jiang Chuyi didn't understand this kind of kiss. She was a very disciplined person. This was too different from the tenderness she imagined. It shouldn't be like this. Her tongue was numb from the kiss. At first she wanted to refuse, but she slowly realized that there were only two of them left. All that was left was a mixture of sweat, saliva, and tears. The crazy kiss that almost crushed her, she wanted to pause this game.
"Mong Ye, Zong Ye."
Jiang Chuyi called his name helplessly, her legs were shaking and her voice was inarticulate.
Zongye did not stop his hands, and responded as if absent-mindedly, carefully sucking away the physiological tears that she fell due to lack of oxygen.
The kiss that drove him crazy did not stop because of her begging for mercy. He picked her up and said, "Chu Yi, I'm sorry."
Her eyes turned red and she said it hurt, so he changed from biting to licking.
When she could no longer make any sound, he changed from licking to biting, breaking it into pieces and swallowing it.
Jiang Chuyi's eyes were misty, and she wanted to grab his hair, but he put her fingers into his mouth. It seemed that even breathing normally became a difficult task, and she lost all her strength, and the world was only a distorted dizziness.
Zong Ye was clearly out of control, like a line of code that could not be repaired.
She finally got the retribution for eating the poisoned apple.
All the places that he had ravaged seemed to be swollen, and his whole body seemed to be poured with boiling oil, and even his blood was boiling.
On this night that was getting out of control, Jiang Chuyi thought countless times that she should leave.
I was confused for a long, long time, so long that I didn't know the passage of time, so long that it seemed like there would be no end to all this. The neon lights outside the window were all off, the sky was white, and the morning light was dim.
The innocent bunny blanket had been ravaged and turned into a mess, and Jiang Chuyi was held between Zong Ye's legs again. He was still talking, but she could no longer understand him.
Her chin was clamped, tears still hung on her eyelashes, and she could only look at him.
He put his face on her shoulder, hugged her waist, and whispered tenderly: "Chu Yi, I want to hear you say that you like me."
"Zongye..." She trembled uneasily.
"Say you like me."
Jiang Chuyi's mind was empty, and she choked with grievance, "I like you."
The world was silent, as if only the sound of their questions and answers remained, and everything for her was controlled by Souya.
"You said you only like me."
"I just like you."
"who I am."
"Mong Ye."
"Then what."
"I only like Muneya."
"Yiyi, I only like you too." Zongye smiled and tilted his head, kissing her again, "I like you so much."
*
The road show in Wuhan lasted for two days, the first day was at the cinema, and the remaining day was at the college. Jiang Chuyi asked for leave on the second day, saying that she was not feeling well, and did not go.
When Xin He heard the news, she immediately thought of last night, when they said hello and went out for a walk, then disappeared without a trace and never came back...
Many guesses emerged in her mind, but after glancing at Zong Ye, she still didn't ask.
Promotion in colleges and universities requires standing on a platform and interacting with students in the audience, which is more tiring than in a movie theater.
Throughout the whole day, Zongye was obviously in a bad mood. He was absent-minded the whole time and rarely smiled even when answering questions. He occasionally responded with a few words, but mostly listened in silence.
The promotion ended and the Wuhan roadshow came to an end. When they returned to the hotel, they were told that Jiang Chuyi had returned to Shanghai.
Wang Tan was startled.
Back in the room, he couldn't help but be curious, "Dude, what did you do last night to scare people like this?"
Zongye fiddled with his lighter and put a cigarette in his mouth.
I never received a reply to the message I sent her on WeChat.
"Did he hit a home run? That's not possible. How cruel are you?"
Zong did not answer Wang Tan's series of questions. He would not share his privacy with Jiang Chuyi with anyone.
Zongye sat on the sofa, elbows on his knees, and smoked a few cigarettes in silence.
Wang Tan also smoked one, and in the cloud of smoke, he pointed at his brother and said, "This is your first time in love, you have no experience, you have to take it step by step with a turtle type like Teacher Jiang, otherwise he will shrink back once you poke him."
Zongye held his forehead, "You don't understand."
"What do you not understand?"
Zongye smiled, with an ambiguous meaning, "You don't understand me."
Xiao Zhong was also shocked when he saw the marks on Jiang Chuyi's body, including the neck, collarbone, shoulders and back. On her fair skin, there were several red and purple kiss marks that were very glaring.
Her lips were chapped and there were dark circles under her eyes, so she had to put on a high-necked jacket, sunglasses, a baseball cap, and a mask, wrapping herself up fully armed.
The flight from Wuhan to Shanghai took two hours, and Jiang Chuyi fell asleep exhausted.
Arriving at Hongqiao, Jiang Chuyi opened WeChat and found that Zong had already sent several messages.
She didn't know what to do for a moment, and she felt very uncomfortable and had no strength to move, so she put it aside for the time being.
He and Zongye realized that there was a limit to their relationship. Many times and in many things, Zongye would give the initiative to her.
He had reminded her many times, but Jiang Chuyi never realized it. She hugged him and kissed him lightly, like a child playing house. Zong Ye was too gentle. He was very restrained and polite to her no matter what he said or did. Jiang Chuyi had never learned a lesson from him, so she naturally had no vigilance or precautions.
It seems exaggerated when I think about it.
Although it was a kiss, Souya kissed her all over like he was addicted. She was tortured by unknown emotions and trembled again and again, and she seemed to have become dull.
I don’t know if it’s because I’m short-sighted or I don’t watch many adult movies, but before yesterday, Jiang Chuyi had never thought that kissing could be so extreme.
Xiao Zhong was hesitant all the way, saying "hmm" and "ah" several times, but he didn't know how to ask when the words came to his lips. After accompanying Jiang Chuyi home, he said, "Sister, is it Zongye..."
Jiang Chuyi lay on the sofa with relief and nodded slightly.
"Oh my god, how could it be..."
Xiao Zhong inevitably imagined some scenes, but stopped immediately. She shouldn't blaspheme idols.
Zong Ye is holy in her heart.
But every "shocking" mark on the boss's body reminded her that Zong also had another unknown dark side.
Who would be like this
Xiao Zhong murmured: "I am also a little... shocked."
Thinking back to when she first got into it, it was a few years ago, at a press conference for BloodXGentle. On a whim, she watched a live broadcast. During the interview session, four people came on stage one by one. Zong Ye put one hand in his pocket, with a gentle smile on his face, and waited attentively for others to take their seats. At that moment, Xiao Zhong was struck accurately.
As a worker in the entertainment industry, Xiao Zhong has heard a lot of gossip that shatters her worldview. However, in her heart, Zong Ye's character has never collapsed. He is never arrogant or plays big shot, and is always polite and graceful to everyone.
Xiao Zhong helped Jiang Chuyi take out her phone, glanced at the incoming call notification, and asked carefully: "It's Zong Ye's call, do you want to answer it?"
Jiang Chuyi turned over and stretched out his arm, "Give it to me."
After the call was connected, Jiang Chuyi remained silent.
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while, and then a cautious voice came, "Chu Yi?"
Jiang Chuyi was really scared. When she heard his voice, her body shook subconsciously.
"Are you mad at me?"
Her eyes wandered, her emotions were mixed, "I'm not angry."
"So, what happened?"
Jiang Chuyi: "I'm a little scared by you, take it easy."
"sorry."
As soon as she said "I'm sorry", she got goose bumps all over her body.
After last night, Jiang Chuyi completely understood that Zong Ye’s “I’m sorry” was no different from a “high-energy warning”.
Jiang Chuyi: "Zong Ye, you really can't do this."
Zongye hummed and admitted his mistake: "Chu Yi, sometimes I can't control myself."
Jiang Chuyi was speechless.
Zong Ye: "Chu Yi, can you forgive me?"
She asked weakly, "Can you promise not to do this again in the future?"
The other end of the phone fell silent again.
"Chu Yi, I may not be able to promise you." Zong Ye was silent for a moment, "This is my shortcoming, I'm sorry."
Jiang Chuyi: “…”
She had already broken down last night and cursed Souya a thousand times. When he kissed her stubbornly at a certain place, she even shouted "pervert" and "obscene" without thinking while trembling with electricity all over her body, but those words had no effect on him at all.
She was now filled with helplessness, "Let's not meet for the next few days."
There was a click and the sound of a lighter lighting up.
Jiang Chuyi added: "What I mean is that I need to calm down. You don't have to think too much about it."
She was really frightened by the sudden madness that came out of him.
"Chu Yi, I won't do this kind of thing until you get used to it." Zong Ye lowered his posture very low, "But don't be afraid of me, okay."
Hearing him say this, Jiang Chuyi's tense nerves slowly relaxed.
She found that sometimes she really had no way to deal with this person.
Although Jiang Chuyi realized the seriousness of the matter, and her emotions and reason were repeatedly pulling at each other, she still held on to a glimmer of hope, "Well, I'll try my best."
If she remembered correctly, Xibao was going abroad to attend several fashion weeks this month, so she wouldn't have to see him for at least half a month.
Jiang Chuyi breathed a sigh of relief, "I'm not angry anymore, just focus on your work first."
"Chu Yi, I miss you so much."
Jiang Chuyi: “…”
They had been apart for less than a few hours.
She was helpless, "Don't be so clingy, business is more important."
"If I call you via video, will you answer?"
Jiang Chuyi was upset by his cautious attitude.
Is she the first person who ran away because of this kind of thing? Zong Ye is a person with a delicate and sensitive mind... If she leaves without saying goodbye, he might think about it for a long time.
Jiang Chuyi's voice softened: "Zong Ye, I don't blame you for what happened yesterday, I just need to get used to it, you have to give me some time."
After that, she sighed, "You don't have to be so careful with me, we can just do the same as before."
*
Due to the Western Storm schedule, they were unable to attend the subsequent roadshows, so IM could only arrange for the director and production team to run the next few shows.
Jiang Chuyi flew to Beijing to meet with Qin Tong. Jinqing specially organized a dinner party and invited several investors. The main topic of discussion was Yu Tong's new movie.
Qin Tong knew her plan. Although he didn't say it on the surface, he felt relieved in his heart.
Jiang Chuyi has been very popular since the beginning of this year. She has become a frequent search hot topic. The box office of "Catching Stars" was a big hit, and with the support of "Stars Shining", especially the CP with Zong Ye has become a trend, which has significantly improved her popularity. If she strikes while the iron is hot and spends two years to monetize her traffic, it is not impossible for her to follow the route of a traffic star.
But now she chooses to work with young directors like Yu Tong, and refuses to take on variety shows and fast-food TV dramas that only show her face, and concentrates on the film industry, which is equivalent to giving up the hard-earned popularity.
Qin Tong's body had not yet recovered, so Jiang Chuyi helped him block a few glasses of wine.
When the dinner was almost over, she came out of the bathroom, picked up her phone, and Zong Ye sent her a photo.
The light was blurry and blue-purple, wine bottles were scattered all over the table, the ashtray was full of cigarette butts, and there was a small singing stage in the distance, which looked like an underground club.
Jiang Chuyi: "You're back home? Where is this?"
Muneya: "Just arrived this afternoon, with some friends."
Jiang Chuyi: "Have you been drinking?"
Souya: "I just drank a little because I missed you."
Jiang Chuyi: "... You can drink less."
Jiang Chuyi: "I should be attending the Zero Degree Charity Dinner in Pingcheng next week. We can meet then."
Souya: “Okay.”
When Jiang Chuyi returned to the hotel at night, she was checking her phone and found that Zong Ye and Fu Cheng were on the hot search list.
The cause was that a niche singer posted several videos of themselves singing on Weibo.
Driven by curiosity, Jiang Chuyi clicked on it to see that the background of the video was similar to the picture that Zong Ye sent her, so it should be a private party.
Zongye sat on the high chair on the small stage, lazily pulled down the microphone stand, and sang "Cruel Summer".
The melody of this song was so familiar that Jiang Chuyi blushed.
This was the song that her phone automatically played before Souya kissed her that night.
He must have been slightly tipsy when he was singing, which was very different from his usual serious appearance when he was out doing business, and he looked a bit decadent and dissolute.
The comments section under this video are disgusting.
[Mong Ye? Damn, he really does smoke and drink in private. This is a video that adults should watch...]
[Is this the Souya I know? He doesn’t wear his clothes properly, and he doesn’t sit properly. This man has a lot of tricks up his sleeve. Who is he trying to seduce? ? ? ]
[Why do you have to use such a sexy voice to sing this kind of song? ? ! Especially the line "I love you ain't that the worst thing you ever heard", ah ah, "I love you, is it the worst thing you ever heard", how can you sing this sad word so sexy? ! ! ]
[Who understands? The bass cannon singing with angry voice is really super aggressive, both erotic and aggressive, wow, I feel like Souya is playing the string of my thong with his voice... So sweet... By the way, does no one really think Souya's hands are clumsy? ? Especially when he holds the microphone and plays the bass, it's better to play me... ]
[Sister upstairs, can you please pick up your thong and throw it on my face? ]
Jiang Chuyi was stunned as she read the comments section, each one more obscene than the last. She was still reading when Zong Ye's video came through.
Jiang Chuyi waited for more than ten seconds before answering the call.
The phone screen shook twice, and his face appeared in the video, as if he was leaning against a wall in a corridor. "What are you doing?"
Jiang Chuyi: "I just saw your trending search and took a look."
He didn't react: "What trending search?"
"The one you sang."
There was a faint smile on his face, "How was my singing?"
Jiang Chuyi's mind was filled with those shameless comments, but she maintained a calm expression, "It's just... it's pretty nice, full of emotion."
He said something with a hint of meaning: "Well, because I was thinking of you while singing."
Jiang Chuyi: “…”
She started another topic awkwardly, "I also heard someone calling you boss. Why did they call you that? It sounds like gangsters."
Zong Ye seemed to be touched by her cuteness. He smiled to himself for a while and said, "I should be their boss in the future."
Jiang Chuyi: “Ah?”
"I forgot to tell you, after I terminate my contract with Fu Cheng, I plan to start a company."
"Oh..." Jiang Chuyi praised sincerely, "You guys are so awesome."
Jiang Chuyi's hands were sore from holding the phone, so she changed her posture, lay on the bed, and supported her face with her hands.
He looked at Jiang Chuyi.
Listen to her voice.
I like it so much, but I also feel so uncomfortable.
Want to see her, kiss her...
Jiang Chuyi recalled the scene in the video and reminded him, "When you are out partying with friends, you still have to dress properly..."
"What's wrong?"
Jiang Chuyi said tactfully: "You look a little too casual. If you release this video, it might affect your image."
He still smiled: "Chu Yi, I am a very conservative person, don't worry."
"You..." Jiang Chuyi hesitated, raising a questioning tone, "Conservative?"
"Am I not conservative?" Zongye's Adam's apple slid up and down, and he said slowly, "Then why, after kissing you, I want to get married."
