He shouted in his heart, stretched out his palm aggressively, pressed the back of Jiang Rui’s head, and leaned forward, aiming for her lips. But he did not know if it was because he was too nervous or something, but he leaned too close. The gentle peck he originally expected turned into a hard bump.
“Hiss—” The two people cried out painfully at the same time.
Jiang Rui pushed him away and covered her mouth. Her eyes suddenly filled with mist.
Yan Zhao ignored the pain in his mouth and quickly went to see her nervously, “How is it? Does it hurt? Let me see.”
Jiang Rui frowned, feeling a faint taste of rust in her mouth, and did not want to speak for a moment.
Yan Zhao was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead. He wanted to pull her hand away to see what happened, but he did not dare to be too rude, so he could only say repeatedly: “I’m sorry…”
Since he was a child, he has never even said sorry to his mother, let alone others. But now he is not stingy at all and says it all in one go.
Jiang Rui was not angry at all. Seeing him in such a hurry, she let go of her hand. The initial pain passed, and there was still a hot tingling on her lips. She should have been knocked by his teeth. She looked at Yan Zhao and saw that he was fine.
Yan Zhao raised her chin and saw that her red and slightly fleshy lips were broken, and blood slowly seeped out from the small opening. He felt distressed and annoyed, and his brows were furrowed tightly.
“Does it hurt?” He asked in a low voice.
Jiang Rui said: “A little bit.”
When she was hit just now, the physiological tears that overflowed were still in her eyes. Her black and white eyes were stained with water and became increasingly moist. Yan Zhao reached out and wiped the corners of her eyes, unconsciously rubbing her smooth face with his thumbs. The two of them were very close, their breaths touching each other’s faces.
Normally, his ears would be red and his eyes wandering, but he had no other thoughts at the moment. He only looked at the wound on her lip, wishing he could replace it with his own body. Seeing the blood seeping out, he felt angry and anxious. He just wanted to stop the bleeding, but the wound was on her lip, so there was no other way.
He frowned, suddenly remembering something, and slowly leaned over.
Seeing him getting closer and closer, Jiang Rui thought he was determined to do it again. But the next moment, she felt her lips being licked by something wet and soft.
It’s his tongue.
He was using his tongue carefully and attentively to lick the wound on her lip.
There was no ambiguity or superfluous reverie, just like a puppy licking her.
Yan Zhao licked it over and over again until no blood seeped out from the wound, and then he stopped and asked again: “Does it hurt?”
“It doesn’t hurt anymore.” Jiang Rui shook her head.
Yan Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, and soon his shoulders dropped. He lowered his head and said in frustration: “I’m sorry, I… I’m just very stupid.”
If Wang Xiaodong and others were present and heard this, their jaws would have dropped out of shock. Their arrogant and stubborn Brother Zhao would actually say that he was stupid?!
When he usually talks to people, his facial expressions are either fierce, irritable, or impatient. But no matter which one he is, he is handsome and attractive, with the unique energy and pride of a young man.
There has never been a moment like this, like a cabbage beaten by frost, withered from beginning to end, even the stiff stubble that always stood up like a hedgehog seemed to have fallen down.
Seeing this, Jiang Rui hooked his finger and shook it, comforting: “You just have to practice if you don’t know how. It was the first time just now, and it will definitely be fine in the future.”
Yan Zhao’s face was sullen, and his brows were furrowed as if he was angry, “I won’t kiss you anymore.” (T/N: Are you sure???) (´⊙ω⊙`)!
“Um?”
He looked up at Jiang Rui. His eyes were uncontrollably always focused on her wounds, making him more irritated after just one look. He felt that he was so stupid that he could not even do a simple kiss, and even hurt her.
He deserved not to kiss her, so he repeated angrily: “No kiss!”
Jiang Rui’s expression was calm. She only poked him with a finger, “If you say you want to kiss me, you will kiss you, if you say you don’t want to kiss me, you won’t. Have you ever asked me?”
The anger Yan Zhao had just built up was deflated by her poke, and he said with a wilted head, “I don’t know how to kiss…”
“I think it’s pretty good.” Jiang Rui said.
He was stunned and then immediately raised his head to look at her, his eyes bulging: “Very, very good?”
He immediately retorted to himself, “You don’t have to lie to me. I’ve already hurt you.”
That’s what he said, but his eyes were looking at Jiang Rui, with a little light in his eyes. He was clearly looking forward to what she would say but also afraid of what she would say. He looked a little pitiful and unconfident.
Jiang Rui glanced at this big man and silently put away the idea of touching the poor little head.
“I didn’t lie to you. The first time you were a little nervous, but the second time you did it much better than the first time. I feel very comfortable.”
A trace of doubt appeared in Yan Zhao’s eyes. He clearly only kissed her once, how could there be a second time? The next moment he realized that she was talking about licking her wound with his tongue.
… But that was what he did because his head was hot and he only wanted to stop her bleeding. His intention was not to kiss her.
That’s what he thought in his heart. But looking at the crooked look on the face of the person in front of him, Yan Zhao swallowed these words without hesitation.
The next moment he puffed up his chest, looking complacent and confident, “I think it’s good too. I’ll just say that I learn quickly and make rapid progress!”
