Chapter 1385 Unrequited Love 39
Xu Yanzhen tried to open her eyes wide, but everything was blurry. She simply cupped Zhou Jinxu's face in her hands, her fingers tracing his features inch by inch, and finally seemed to confirm Zhou Jinxu's identity.
She smiled and affectionately pressed her cheek against Zhou Jinxu's: "Jinxu? You're back?"
Zhou Jinxu nuzzled Xu Yanzhen's cheek: "Yeah, you're back."
Xu Yanzhen still remembered her contact with Zhou Jinxu yesterday: "You said you would only be back tomorrow, and I... I was planning to pick you up from the airport tomorrow."
"I was worried about you, so I came back early." Zhou Jinxu took the coat next to him and helped Xu Yanzhen put it on. "Can you come back with me now?"
"Go home! Go home!" Xu Yanzhen obediently let Zhou Jinxu dress her. When Zhou Jinxu picked her up, she naturally wrapped her arms around his shoulders and rested her head on his shoulder.
On her wrist, which was draped over Zhou Jinxu's shoulder, was a red diamond bracelet. Ji Yingqiu recognized it as the latest design from a certain brand.
Zhou Jinxu hugged her, then nodded to Ji Yingqiu and the others: "I'll take Yan Yan back first. Have fun, everyone."
Ji Yingqiu got up and saw them to the front door, watching Zhou Jinxu carefully help Xu Yanzhen into the back seat, his actions full of thoughtfulness and care. Ji Yingqiu sighed, and when she returned to the bar, she saw Yu Ning chatting animatedly with a pretty girl.
Ji Yingqiu suddenly felt that this scene was utterly meaningless. Looking at Zhou Jinxu and then at Yu Ning, Ji Yingqiu suddenly wondered if the marriage she had painstakingly maintained still had any reason to exist.
After settling Xu Yanzhen into the back seat, Zhou Jinxu went around to the other side to get in the car. The driver, with great foresight, raised the back seat partition, making the ride smoother.
As for the destination, it was naturally Xu Yanzhen's house. A driver certainly needs to have that kind of insight.
Xu Yanzhen leaned back in the seat, feeling uncomfortable no matter how she lay down. She stirred, her nose twitching as if she smelled a familiar fragrance, and then she slowly moved closer to Zhou Jinxu.
Finally, she rested her head on Zhou Jinxu's shoulder, crossed her thighs over his, and wished she could curl up in his arms.
Zhou Jinxu put his arm around her waist and pinched Xu Yanzhen's flushed cheeks: "You're quite bold when you're drunk. I hope you remember it when you wake up tomorrow."
“I remember,” Xu Yanzhen tilted her head back to avoid Zhou Jinxu’s hand. She squinted at Zhou Jinxu, then leaned in and pressed her cheek against his: “Zhou Jinxu.”
"Hmm," Zhou Jinxu responded, not knowing why she was calling him, and placed his large hand behind her, gently stroking her back.
Xu Yanzhen leaned on Zhou Jinxu's shoulder and murmured after a long while, "Zhou Jinxu, I miss you so much."
Zhou Jinxu's mind raced. Was this a case of speaking the truth while drunk? Although he saw affection in Xu Yanzhen's eyes, Xu Yanzhen had never expressed it aloud.
"I miss you too," he whispered, secretly wishing Xu Yanzhen were sober when she said this to him.
Xu Yanzhen suddenly looked up, cupped Zhou Jinxu's cheeks in her hands, stared at him for a long time, and then suddenly kissed Zhou Jinxu on the cheek with a "smack".
You are so beautiful.
Zhou Jinxu's eyes darkened, and he slowly tightened his grip on Xu Yanzhen's waist. Xu Yanzhen, unaware of the impending danger, continued to kiss Zhou Jinxu's eyes, cheeks, and lips like a chick pecking at rice.
Just as they were about to kiss, they both paused. Xu Yanzhen instinctively tried to pull away, but it was too late.
She felt like tender meat in a hungry wolf's mouth, being devoured repeatedly. When her breathing became labored, the other person would release her. But as soon as she calmed down, they would immediately cling to her again. Xu Yanzhen weakly clung to Zhou Jinxu's neck, finally collapsing into a puddle of water on his shoulder. Her lipstick was completely smudged, her eyes were red, and her clothes were somewhat disheveled.
Zhou Jinxu took a deep breath, managing to restrain himself with sheer willpower. He wasn't exactly a gentleman, but he knew he shouldn't take advantage of someone in distress. He carefully straightened Xu Yanzhen's clothes and gently patted her back to help her catch her breath.
Noticing Xu Yanzhen's body gradually stiffening, Zhou Jinxu chuckled, "Sobering up?"
Xu Yanzhen stiffened for a moment, then resignedly leaned on his shoulder, nodding listlessly after a long while: "Mm."
Zhou Jinxu knew that Xu Yanzhen was a bit arrogant, "I thought you were going to pretend you didn't know."
Xu Yanzhen suddenly looked up, her already round eyes widening even more: "Am I that kind of irresponsible person?"
Zhou Jinxu pressed his advantage: "Okay, Yan Yan has to take responsibility for me. This is my first kiss."
Xu Yanzhen said weakly, "It was also my first kiss."
Who hasn't had their first kiss? As for experiences from past lives, those certainly can't be carried over to this one.
"So we have to be responsible for each other." Zhou Jinxu held her fingers, kneading her chubby fingertips, and occasionally kissed them: "Does Yan Yan agree?"
Startled by the aggressive look in his eyes, Xu Yanzhen tapped the corner of his lips: "I agree, I agree, but... we have to take it slow."
Zhou Jinxu chuckled and pulled Xu Yanzhen closer to him, saying, "What do you take me for, some kind of lustful person?"
Xu Yanzhen glanced at him; someone who reacted to a hug on the first occasion had no right to speak.
Zhou Jinxu defended himself: "That means I am a normal man with a healthy mind and body. It would be abnormal if I didn't feel anything."
Xu Yanzhen tried to avoid him, but Zhou Jinxu held her tightly, so she could only obediently sit on his lap.
Zhou Jinxu took a small box out of his coat pocket, opened it to reveal two matching rings. He took the smaller one and put it on Xu Yanzhen's finger: "Accept my ring, and you're my girlfriend now."
Xu Yanzhen looked at the ring on her finger, then took another men's ring and put it on his finger: "Don't take it off. I don't want to be like Ji Yingqiu, constantly watching the women around Yu Ning."
Zhou Jinxu raised his eyebrows: "Of course, between us, it's always been me who's more eager. Just as you don't want to hurt me, I also won't let you hurt me."
"You are the most precious girl in my heart, how could I bear to make you sad?"
A single word of reluctance brought tears to Xu Yanzhen's eyes. She leaned against Zhou Jinxu's chest and kissed his cheek. She loved how Zhou Jinxu walked resolutely towards her, and how he only loved her.
Zhou Jinxu patted her back, and only after seeing that the car had stopped in the parking lot did he let go of Xu Yanzhen and get out of the car first. As Xu Yanzhen was getting out of the car, her legs suddenly went weak, and Zhou Jinxu nimbly pulled her into his arms.
He didn't tease Xu Yanzhen, but naturally picked her up with one arm, just like he would hold a child.
Xu Yanzhen sat on his arm, "Is this the air above two meters? It's so fresh!"
