If You Don’t Go To Hell, Who Will? - Chapter 39
Zhong Yuan exclaimed, “ All my internal organs are twisting in pain. Why don’t you understand?”I felt my entire being tense up, taken aback by his words. I yearned to lift my head and meet his gaze, but he held me tightly, restricting any movement. The strength of his embrace made it challenging for me to draw a steady breath.
Zhong Yuan gently rubbed his chin against my hair and whispered, “Mu Er, I really like you. A lot.”
I swallowed nervously, feeling as if my soul had detached from my body and was floating weightlessly. “Is that…is that true?”
Without responding directly, Zhong Yuan softly cursed under his breath, “You silly fool,” then he held me even tighter.
Struggling to speak, I managed to say, “Zhong Yuan… I feel like I’m being suffocated by your embrace…”
He released his hold on me, cupped my face with his hands, and pressed his forehead against mine. His eyes sparkled with intensity as he gazed deeply into mine, asking, “And what about you? Do you like me?”
Feeling somewhat bashful about admitting it, especially considering you already discovered my feelings, which means you already know…
Zhong Yuan failed to grasp my current state of mind, and a coldness crept into his eyes. “Tell me, do you like me or not?”
I blinked, taken aback. “Um, yes, I do.”
Zhong Yuan pressed on, stepping closer. “Who do you like?”
I gritted my teeth. “I like you, Zhong Yuan. I like you… uh…”
Suddenly, an unexpected kiss caught me off guard, causing me to instinctively lean back. However, Zhong Yuan swiftly pulled me back into his embrace, securing me tightly.
His lips felt scorching hot, as if on fire. Ignoring everything else, he passionately captured my lips, nibbling and sucking on them. My lips were left sore and tingling from his actions, yet my heart was submerged in an overwhelming wave of sweetness. So I willingly embraced him, closing my eyes to welcome his kiss.
With a tight grip on his arms, a more intense and fervent kiss engulfed us.
I grew breathless from the kiss, desperately grabbing onto Zhong Yuan’s clothes and trying to push him away. Finally, Zhong Yuan released me, his gaze burning into mine. Then he firmly held me in his arms. He leaned close to my ear, his scorching breath caressing my earlobe. I closed my eyes, feeling as if none of this was real.
Zhong Yuan suddenly took hold of my earlobe, gently rubbing it with his lips. My previously icy-cold earlobe warmed up instantly, bringing a comfortable and slightly ticklish sensation. I couldn’t help but giggle.
He released my earlobe and chuckled softly. After a moment, he murmured near my ear, “Mu Er, I’ve been waiting for this day.”
Nestled in his embrace, I still found it somewhat unbelievable. “I always thought you didn’t like me and found me annoying.”
Zhong Yuan lightly bit my earlobe and laughed. “That’s why I call you ‘wooden head’.”
I nuzzled against him and asked, “Then why do you like me? You have so many choices.”
Zhong Yuan smiled helplessly. “I wonder too. It’s as if I’ve been enchanted, always thinking about you.”
I held him tightly, feeling a sweet sensation in my heart. “Me too.”
Neither of us spoke further. We just held each other tightly in the snowy surroundings, passersby coming and going. I felt a bit embarrassed, so I buried my face in Zhong Yuan’s embrace, enjoying our little secret.
…
When I returned to the dormitory, I still felt a bit overwhelmed. Everything felt so surreal. I was filled with sweetness, but at the same time, I couldn’t shake off a sense of unease.
I drifted into the dormitory like a lost soul. Xiao Er was playing games in the room. She turned to look at me and grinned mischievously. “Hehe, San Mu, did Zhong Yuan conquer you? That Zhong Yuan, he really went all out.”
Her words made me feel guilty for a moment, and I found it a bit strange. So, I cautiously asked, “How do you know?”
Xiao Er giggled like a mischievous wolf. Just then, the eldest and fourth girls walked in. Eldest immediately looked at me and asked, “San Mu, why are your lips swollen like that? Did you eat spicy peppers again?”
I remained silent.
Finally, I understood why Xiao Er was laughing so wickedly.
At that moment, Xiao Er winked at Eldest and grinned in a sleazy manner. “Our San Mu here got nibbled on; why are you pretending to be innocent?”
“I’ve always been innocent,” Eldest replied, walking up to me and cupping my face, closely examining my lips. After a thorough inspection, she nodded in satisfaction and remarked, “So Zhong Yuan is a wolf after all.”
Blushing instantly, I hid in my chair, remaining silent. Eldest playfully ruffled my hair and chuckled, “Come on, give us a detailed account of how the big, bad wolf devoured the little white rabbit.”
Resting my chin on my hand, I pondered for a moment and said, “Two hearts entwined, deep affection and love. Hehe. But seriously, I still find this whole thing a bit strange. How did Zhong Yuan end up liking me?”
Eldest tapped my head gently and said, “Child, are you sure you’re not just showing off?”
Fourth Girl chimed in to answer my question, “This is the law of attraction: the good overcoming the strong, using gentleness to conquer strength, wisdom in disguise…”
Xiao Er interrupted her with a mischievous smile: “Fourth girl, who are you describing?”
With a blank expression, Fourth Girl kicked Xiao Er’s chair and said, “You’re off-topic again.”
Glancing at the screen, Xiao Er furrowed her brow and muttered, “It’s that weirdo again.”
Eldest asked, “Which weirdo? Is it Chen Xingshi or something?”
Immediately, we all gathered around Xiao Er’s computer screen. On the screen, there was a lifeless body lying on the ground, while a dazzling figure wielding a large blade arrogantly walked away. The perpetrator had the words “Chen Xingshi” emblazoned on his head.
Angrily pounding the keyboard, Xiao Er exclaimed, “Damn it, so what if they have great skills? So what if they’re well-equipped? Karma will catch up with that bastard sooner or later. I’ll slice them bit by bit! Not only slice, but also savor the freshness!”
Xiao Er truly had a way with words; her description was so vivid that I couldn’t help but shiver. I patted her shoulder and said, “Take it easy; it’s just a game.”
Xiao Er stared at the fading figure in the distance, gritting her teeth. “I… will… have… my revenge!!!!!!!!”
Currently, Xiao Er was playing an online game where, due to some complicated reasons, she had offended a skilled player named Chen Xingshi, who constantly hunted her down. According to Xiao Er, this player was a formidable character who didn’t fit into conventional roles and was stronger than any unbeatable hero. No one she knew dared provoke him, so her pursuit of revenge shouted loudly every day but ended in disappointment.
With a commotion, Eldest, Third, and Fourth dispersed, leaving Xiao Er alone in front of the computer, sighing deeply.
…
The next day, I woke up very early, or rather, I hadn’t slept all night. You see, I spent the entire night tossing and turning, thinking about Zhong Yuan and me. Lost in my thoughts, I couldn’t help but giggle under the covers. I felt like I was going crazy.
When I went downstairs, Zhong Yuan was already waiting for me. It had snowed again last night, and the whole world was draped in white. Zhong Yuan stood amidst the pure white snow, gazing at me, creating a picturesque scene.
I ran to him, stepping on the snow, and looked at him with a silly smile, not knowing what to say.
Zhongyuan hugged me, lightly brushing my nose and smiling. “Didn’t you sleep well last night?”
Thinking about my crazy behavior last night, I felt a bit embarrassed.
Zhong Yuan kissed my forehead and said, “I didn’t sleep a wink last night.”
And so I couldn’t help but laugh, feeling a bit mischievous.
Zhong Yuan held my hand and said, “Today, let’s not go for a run. Let’s build snowmen instead.”
I had never built a complete snowman in my life, and today Zhong Yuan managed to build two at once. However, what surprised me was…
The heads of those two snowmen touched each other, and from the position of their eyes and noses, it seemed like they were kissing…
With a playful smile, Zhong Yuan asked, “Do they resemble us?”
I turned my face away, feeling very shy, you know. >_<
As Zhong Yuan warmed my hands, he leaned down and quickly pecked my lips.
