Chapter 101

  Not far away, in the main building of Xinhuo Weishi, bursts of noise were coming out.

  Li Jing slightly raised her head, looking at the small door connecting the parking lot and the main building not far away. Although there was no movement there yet, she believed that soon, with the flow of people dispersing, the parking lot would be bustling for a short while.

  "Is the game over?" Li Yi Heng wrapped his arms tightly around his waist, pressing him back against his chest, their chests pressed together, stirring up the desire that had just settled down in Li Jin.

  "Uh-huh." He swallowed hard, pushed away Li Yiheng's embrace, and buttoned up his shirt one by one. "I'm going back now."

  Li Yiheng didn't say a word, nor did he stop him again. He just quietly watched his movements. Those dark eyes were not very clear in the dim light, but they were exceptionally powerful. Li Jin was stared at by him like this, and he felt that his fingers were about to tie into knots. A button took a long time to fasten, let alone dare to raise his head to look at his gaze.

  So this shirt, just a row of buttons, plus the loosened belt, can be tidied up in just one minute. Li Jin dragged on and on, and it took a full five minutes to barely tidy himself up again.

  Li Yiheng smiled and asked, "Going back?"

  "Alright." Li Jin sat back in the passenger seat, not even lifting his head as he reached for the car door. "Lu Fei didn't get the championship, he must be really unhappy, I should go comfort him quickly."

  He said and was about to get off the bus.

  Just as he was about to take a peek, suddenly, a hand from behind tightly grabbed him.

  "Just because Luo Fei is unhappy, you have to put everything aside and comfort him, then...” Under the dim yellow light of the parking lot, Li Yi Heng's eyes were filled with mocking disappointment, piercingly painful, "What about me? What am I?"

  Li Jin was stunned.

  His wrist, where Li Yiheng was holding it, was scalding hot, almost burning. Lei Jin subconsciously pulled a few times, but couldn't pull away, and instead held on even tighter. He felt like something was going out of control, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what it was. This feeling was very strange, as if he was afraid of losing control, yet... secretly looking forward to it.

  His gaze moved from his wrist until it met Li Yiheng's, where it stopped. His rationality was still trying to maintain the status quo, so he smiled faintly and pretended to be at ease.

  "Lu Fei is my friend, and also my artist. He's the hope I use to take down Shu Mu, my job." He straightened up, his unbound palm slowly caressing Li Yiheng's cheek, the slightly chilly thumb tracing over the lips that had just been kissed, "You say... what are you?"

  There was a moment when Li Yiheng seemed to fall into an ice cave in Antarctica, frozen from the inside out.

  That light and casual "who are you", seemed like the most sarcastic ridicule in this world, mocking his self-inflicted romance.

  Everything became meaningless, he let go of his hands dejectedly and shrugged at Li Jin.

  He had originally wanted to cooperate with a self-deprecating remark or two, but before he could even let out a soft laugh, he was tightly kissed by someone.

  This kiss was mixed with unfulfilled emotions, yet it was simple and gentle like a whispered promise. For an extremely long time, they just repeatedly savored each other's lips, as if entwining their tongues was a desecration of this kiss.

  Li Yiheng's mind was shaken, and he even forgot to close his eyes. As a result, Li Jin's face expanded infinitely before his eyes, and the captivating expression that was submerged in it was seen thoroughly.

  This kiss didn't last long, it was meant to comfort. So Li Jin kissed for a moment, then sat up straight, with only the smile still in his eyes, punishingly, he lightly tapped his index and middle fingers on Li Yi Heng's lips.

  "Don't think nonsense," he said, "I'm leaving."

  Li Yiheng's brain didn't recover for a full ten seconds.

  He stared blankly at his lips, suddenly feeling that he was indeed the biggest fool under heaven.

  The key point of that sentence just now is not at the back, but at the front.

  Everyone knows that Li Jin is a super workaholic, for him, Luo Fei is not only a friend but also his job. The final hasn't ended yet, and he sneaked out to fool around with himself, which is already dereliction of duty. At this time, if he doesn't go back - isn't that seeking death?

  As for the sentence after that...

  Li Yiheng lowered his head and smiled slightly, then suddenly pushed open the car door and jumped out.

  Li Jin.

  The person behind her was calling out her name, and Li Jin stopped in her tracks, turning around with a puzzled expression.

  "I'm yours..." Li Yihe carefully chose his words and finally picked the one that made him most satisfied, "Your lover, okay?"

  "What?" Li Jin seemed stunned, and after a long while, he dryly laughed, "What did you say?"

  "I say, let's be together, okay?" Li Yiheng had grown over thirty years old, and this was the first time he had confessed to someone. His voice trembled as he spoke, but somehow seemed to gain strength as he went on, until finally, it was almost as if he was proclaiming to the whole world, "Be my lover, okay?"

  "Beloved?" Lei Jin repeated his words in a low voice, feeling that these two words might contain the most wonderful spell in the world. Just by saying it once, he felt a lingering attachment on his lips and teeth, as if he couldn't help but utter them every day, tying them to his heart.

  At a distance, he smiled at Li Yiheng. The man was clearly dressed in a suit and tie, with an unmistakable air of elegance. But Li Jin thought that he looked just like those high school boys who were deeply in love, always ready to dive headfirst into romance.

  How can he be so stupid?

  Then Li Jin awkwardly asked him: "What about Ke Yuan? Don't you love Ke Yuan anymore?"

  As soon as Ke Yuan was mentioned, Li Yi Heng's expression instantly darkened.

  Li Jin's smile on his face gradually retreated into his heart under this gloomy expression.

  "Love." Suddenly, Li Yi Heng lifted his head, far away, and smiled again. "After he passed away, I couldn't get out of it for a long time. At that time, my mental state was very poor - insomnia all night, drowsiness during the day, I even got drunk and drove to the places he had been to, just to find some clues he left behind. Li Jin, I thought I would be in pain for the rest of my life, with no one to tell and no one to rescue me, until I met you."

  Under the dim yellow light, his smile was always faint, as if those crazy past events were just a trivial matter that had been sealed in dust for many years.

  "Prolonged pain can make one numb, and at that time, I really thought my life was nothing more than that. But then I met you, Lijin. You made me experience again what it means to be genuinely happy for someone, what it means to worry about someone from the bottom of my heart. Watching you, who has nothing but is fearless, my heart would involuntarily be moved by you; watching you, who is troubled by big and small things, I couldn't help but want to lend a hand. I don't know what's wrong with me. Until one day, I saw your name in the newspaper, and after staring at it for a long time, I suddenly realized that this was how it was." He lowered his head, laughing self-deprecatingly, "Lijin, I will never forget Ke Yuan, I loved him, and this cannot be erased. But my life is not just one road. Lijin, I want to be with you, spend the rest of our days together. Maybe sometimes I'll still think of Ke Yuan, but I know who I love now."

  Li Jin's lips were slightly pursed, and her eyes were moistened by warm tears.

  He felt like crying, but in fact, he wanted to laugh inside.

  He thought, why should he be jealous of himself for no reason.

  So boring.

  "Alright." He raised his head and said to Li Yiheng, "Then let's have a romance, try it out."
