Chapter 251: Third Time

Chapter 251: Third Time

Under the temptation of learning, Jin Jiuchi took huge bites and devoured the chocolate ice cream in a blink of an eye, not even chewing before he swallowed it down his throat.

He shivered at the freezing sensation that numbed his oral cavity and brain nerves, and his face scrunched up in response. Alas, the sweetness of the ice cream he had tasted for the very first time did not even register in his mind for all of his attention was lured by the promise Shen Nianzu had just uttered.

Learn... he would finally learn how to be a responsible gong under Shen Nianzu! Oh wait, or would it be the method of how they could possess each other without the need to devour? Jin Jiuchi was literally buzzing with excitement and anticipation. He never thought that he would have this kind of attitude towards learning because he knew how much he hated it, but if it was Shen Nianzu... then he was willing to learn, even if it took him days or months!

He crumpled the tissue paper in his palm and tossed it to the nearby trash can, before heading back to the car. "Nian’er, let’s start now!" He reached out to pull open the door to the shotgun seat, but Shen Nianzu grabbed his wrist to stop him.

Under his curious gaze, Shen Nianzu’s gaze drifted away, a delicate flush adorning his cheeks. "...Get in the back," he instructed.

"Oh..." Though confused, Jin Jiuchi still complied and slipped into the back seat. Before he could turn around and ask why he was demolished here, he was taken by surprise when Shen Nianzu also entered behind him.

Wait a moment, this enclosed space with only the two of them alone...

Wasn’t this the perfect place for them to talk?! This way, nobody could interrupt them like the manager did before!

Jin Jiuchi straightened up, ready to absorb the knowledge Shen Nianzu was going to impart to him, but then he heard the jade doll say, still with his gaze lowered as if he couldn’t bring himself to meet Jin Jiuchi’s eyes.

"Now that I think about it, I kinda want to try the ice cream.."

Jin Jiuchi froze, and two thoughts emerged in his mind simultaneously. First, weren’t they supposed to learn something like he did with Gu Luoxin, so why would Nian’er bring up ice cream all of a sudden? And second, oh no, he had eaten it all! What should he do? But didn’t Shen Nianzu say earlier that he did not want—

Too lost in his internal turmoil, he failed to notice that Shen Nianzu was inching closer until the distance between them was barely an inch. Then he reached out to cup Jin Jiuchi’s face and just like that, Jin Jiuchi’s mind screeched to a halt as all he could focus on was their sudden proximity and Shen Nianzu’s eyes which were peering up at him.

Those light colored lashes fluttered wildly, giving him an impression as if a glass butterfly was going to take off, revealing the eyes beneath that seemed to be colored with a light hue of nervousness and determination. For a moment, Jin Jiuchi found his breath being seized away as he stared into those ethereal and impossibly captivating eyes.

How pretty, was the thought that echoed in his mind at the same time he heard Shen Nianzu murmur, his gaze dropping to Jin Jiuchi’s lips. "It’s okay, I will taste it from here..."

Then the next second, Shen Nianzu closed the distance between them and captured his lips in a kiss.

Jin Jiuchi’s pupils dilated and his heart skipped a beat before accelerating into a rapid rhythm that would surely destroy him one day. His inner temperature rose and within the span of one breath, his entire body felt so hot as if he was about to burst into flames. This had always been his involuntary reaction whenever he kissed Shen Nianzu.

Thrice, he thought with the distant part of his mind that was still capable of forming any coherent sentence. This was the third time they had kissed and the second time Shen Nianzu had initiated it, yet the effect it had on Jin Jiuchi was no less than the first— if not more devastating.

He kept his eyes open, slightly in a daze, as he fixated on the delicate strands of Shen Nianzu’s lashes that framed his eyelids. Again, the thought popped up in his mind, unbidden. How pretty. How can Nian’er be so pretty? But then, he was swiftly jerked back to reality when a wet sensation touched his lips. His eyes grew as wide as saucers, and if not for Shen Nianzu blocking his mouth, he would have cried out in shock for sure.

W–Wait a moment, did Nian’er just... lick him?! When the same sensation came again, this time along the seams of his lips, Jin Jiuchi realized with a surge of glee and exhilaration that he was not imagining it at all! Oh goodness, Nian’er – the pretty, cold and divine-smelling Nian’er – had actually licked him!

All of a sudden, the certain panel from that manhwa crossed his mind, and before his conscious brain could process it, his hands instinctively moved to wrap themselves around Shen Nianzu’s body, bringing the jade doll closer to him. Then, he tilted his head slightly in a hesitant manner, parted his lips and let his tongue out.

When the tip of their tongues made contact, an electric current seemed to surge through Jin Jiuchi’s body, sending violent shivers down his spine and causing goosebumps to rise on his skin.

Perhaps Shen Nianzu was also feeling the same because he abruptly snapped his eyes open, and their gazes collided in midair. A deep flush tinged Shen Nianzu’s cheeks and a layer of mist veiled his purple eyes. When he met Jin Jiuchi’s eyes which had remained open all the time, he subconsciously pulled away, only for Jin Jiuchi’s powerful arms to hold him in place.

Who was he trying to kid? This was the first time Jin Jiuchi had ever tasted something so... mind-blowing, so electrifying, and he would be damned if he allowed the jade doll to slip away just like that!

"Nian’er..." he whispered, his large hand closing around the back of Shen Nianzu’s fragile neck and locking his head in place. His pupils were blown wide in a way that made him look unhinge, and his silvery eyes were tumultuous with a tempest of desire. It was as if something was on the verge of breaking out, only waiting for a little push to trigger it. Shen Nianzu found himself unable to breathe when faced with this kind of Jin Jiuchi.

"Nian’er, you said that you want to taste the ice cream, right? But a few licks won’t do, will it? How about you open your mouth wider so I can give you a more thorough taste? Hmm?" He coaxed in a deceptively sweet and alluring tone.

Shen Nianzu’s breath stuttered in response and he pushed his hands against Jin Jiuchi’s chest, subconsciously trying to put some distance between them. Alas, there was no stopping Jin Jiuchi now. "W–Wait a minute, I don’t— hmph!" he began to protest, yet his mouth was abruptly sealed once more.

This time, Jin Jiuchi mimicked what Shen Nianzu did moments ago and licked along the seams of his lips, groaning when he tasted a divine sweetness unlike anything he had ever known before. Were Shen Nianzu’s lips made of condensed honey? That was the only explanation Jin Jiuchi could think of.

A soft gasp escaped Shen Nianzu’s lips, and sensing the opening, Jin Jiuchi tentatively slid his tongue into his mouth.
