Chapter 111: Chapter 111: Can I Kiss You?

Xinan was baffled by his gaze and subconsciously shrank her neck, "You... what are you doing?"

"Are you spying on me?"

She was taken aback, only then remembering that she had indeed said something about being a little sneaky.

But she still denied it outright, "I... I wasn’t."

However, her eyes darted around, clearly lacking confidence.

"Oh, so if you weren’t looking at me, you were watching the movie." He curled his lips into a smile-not-smile, watching her playfully, "So you like this kind of movie..."

"Who likes it! It’s clearly you who likes to watch," Xinan retorted.

"I haven’t watched."

"You’re lying; I saw it, you were glued to the phone screen and never took your eyes off."

Cheng Yi raised an eyebrow teasingly, "Then how could you say you weren’t spying on me if you knew I was watching the whole time?"

It was then Xinan realized she had been played by Cheng Yi, her cheeks puffed out in annoyance, not wanting to engage with him.

As the sounds from the phone grew more intense, Xinan felt her cheeks burning.

In the darkness, Xinan felt a pair of warm hands touch her cheeks with great affection, her breath hitched, and she locked eyes with the obscure depths of Cheng Yi’s.

Cheng Yi leaned closer and closer, and she understood his intention.

An ambiguous atmosphere flowed between them, Xinan’s heartbeat racing.

"Nannan," Cheng Yi’s voice carried a hint of haziness, "May I?"

"May you what?" Xinan’s voice was low, husky, and slightly trembled.

"May I kiss you?"

"I..."

Before Xinan could finish, her world went dark as a pair of hands took hold of her nape, and Cheng Yi’s searing kiss landed on her lips, coming like a storm bringing an indescribable pleasure.

Their breaths and heartbeats intertwined at that moment.

Cheng Yi’s hand moved down her waist, sliding slowly and then firmly grasping her butt.

At that instant, Xinan let out a light "hmm."

The kiss lasted a long, long time, their breathing becoming extra heated.

Xinan’s fingers found his black, soft short hair, and her other hand was pinned to the sofa by Cheng Yi, their fingers interlocking.

By now, the phone had gone dark, and only their chaotic breathing filled the silent living room.

Sweat covered Cheng Yi’s forehead, his whole being lost in lust.

This Cheng Yi had an indescribable sexiness...

While Xinan’s eyes were half-closed, displaying complete bewilderment.

At the crucial moment, Cheng Yi still stopped, kissed the tip of Xinan’s nose softly, and asked, "Where’s the bathroom?"

Still dazed, Xinan answered, "The first room on the right has a bathroom."

After speaking, Cheng Yi got up from Xinan and fumbled towards the bedroom.

Realizing what he intended, Xinan blurted out, "The power’s out; there might not be hot water."

"It’s fine," he replied.

Soon, Xinan heard the sound of running water from the bathroom.

Xinan struggled to sit up from the sofa, clasping her bra behind her, then picked up her clothes that had fallen to the floor and put them on.

An hour later, the sound of running water in the bathroom finally stopped.

Swish! The door opened, and Cheng Yi walked out of the bedroom.

"The other room is full of clutter, and it’s not easy to clear out, so you’ll have to make do with the sofa for tonight," Xinan said as she laid out the bedding and pillow for him.

"Okay," Cheng Yi replied, rubbing his dripping hair with a towel.

"Make sure you dry your hair before you go to sleep, or you might catch a cold tomorrow, especially since you took a cold shower," Xinan advised.

"Nannan," Cheng Yi suddenly called out her name, "are you showing concern for me?"

Xinan didn’t respond to his question, but simply said, "I’m going to sleep."

However, as she passed by Cheng Yi, her arm was suddenly caught by him, "Aren’t you going to say goodnight to me?"

Xinan paused, quickly said "Goodnight," and then rushed back to her room, and in an almost overly obvious attempt to hide her feelings, she locked the door behind her.

Cheng Yi, looking at the tightly shut door, shook his head helplessly, and then whispered softly, "Nannan, goodnight."

-

That night, Xinan had a very solid sleep, perhaps because she knew someone was always outside, which made her feel exceptionally safe, even in the darkness she didn’t feel afraid.

In the morning, Xinan woke up naturally and saw that it was only nine o’clock.

After she had washed up and come out of the bedroom, she saw Cheng Yi sitting on the sofa, already dressed and drinking coffee.

She had thought he had already left...

"Morning," Cheng Yi looked up at her.

"Morning," Xinan replied.

"Breakfast is on the table."

Xinan looked over at the dining table, where indeed there was a delicate breakfast waiting: a steaming cup of milk, fried eggs sprinkled with a slice of ham and bacon...

Xinan pulled out a chair and sat down, taking a sip of the milk, she casually asked, "Aren’t you working today?"

"I’ve been on vacation recently."

"Oh."

No wonder he had been so free lately.

Xinan took a bite of the sandwich, which was full of various fillings and surprisingly tasted quite good, so she took another bite.

After seeing Xinan had just about finished eating, Cheng Yi put down his cup of coffee, "Do you have any plans for today?"

After finishing the last sip of her milk, Xinan shook her head, "No, what’s up?"

"I’ll take you to a place."

"Oh, sure."

Xinan remembered the last time Cheng Yi had said he would take her somewhere, and it turned out to be his birthday.

Flipping through her memories, Xinan made sure there was no important date today before she breathed a sigh of relief.

But she still dressed up thoroughly, putting on a new skirt she had bought a few days ago, applied makeup, and also wore earrings and a necklace.

"Let’s go," Xinan emerged from the bedroom, satisfied with her look.

When Cheng Yi saw her, he was momentarily stunned, his gaze lingering on her for a full ten seconds before shifting away.

"Sure," he said.

Cheng Yi hadn’t told Xinan exactly where they were going, so she was quite curious the whole way.

The car drove slowly from the city to the suburbs, and then it traveled up the mountain road for several hours before stopping.

Cheng Yi got out of the driver’s seat, and Xinan followed suit.

Then, she was awestruck by the view in front of them—they stood halfway up the mountain with steep stone steps beneath their feet and tall cypress trees reaching up to the clouds on both sides.

At the top of the mountain, a few imitation houses and villas could be seen, and at that moment, with the sun setting, the entire mountaintop looked as if it was outlined in gold, beautiful and mysterious.

This place was truly stunning.

Xinan felt as if she could get lost in it.

Taking a deep breath, she asked, "How did you know about this place?"

"I stumbled upon it a year ago while driving by, thought it was nice and bought it. I plan to turn it into a private estate," he said with casual ease as if buying land was as ordinary as buying groceries. But Xinan was astounded, asking in disbelief, "You bought all of this?"

"Mm-hm," Cheng Yi pointed at the distant villas, "These were just built this year."
