Chapter 371: Wrong Person!

Chapter 371: Wrong Person!

Shen Nianzu stared at the man before him in utter disbelief. Out of all the wishes he could have made, in the end... he chose this? For Shen Nianzu to remain alive?

He had no plans to die in this forsaken place to begin with! Even without the twins’ task, Shen Nianzu would still find a way to survive one way or another. If he failed in this timeline, then... well, he would have to move to the next, again and again, until he made it out of this place. And yet, Jin Jiuchi had resolutely issued him this kind of task, and he even looked so proud when he said that as though inviting Shen Nianzu to praise him!

Did he not realize that he was giving Shen Nianzu a free pass?

Seriously, why was he just so...

"Foolish..." Shen Nianzu’s lips quivered as he spat out each word as though they had been scraped out of the hollow of his throat. "You damned, foolish husky..."

Tears poured out of his eyes anew, forming a river that ran down his pale and beautiful cheeks. Jin Jiuchi’s expression quickly grew flustered when he witnessed that. His hands hovered around Shen Nianzu, unsure where to touch. "W–Wait, why is Nian’er crying? You’re not—hmmph!"

The rest of his words became muffled as Shen Nianzu seized him by the collar, pulled his head down and smashed their lips together.

It was such a sudden and forceful movement that their teeth clinked against each other, and a subtle metallic taste of blood lingered between their intertwined lips.

But that was the least of Shen Nianzu’s concerns right now. With a quiet whimper, he reached out and wrapped his arms tightly around Jin Jiuchi’s neck, desperately trying to bring the man closer to him as though wishing to meld them into one. He tilted his head to cover Jin Jiuchi’s lips fully, and his tongue darted out to slip between the seams, licking away at his teeth and gum.

Throughout this fervent exchange, Jin Jiuchi remained frozen, utterly motionless as though he had turned into a rock statue. He allowed Shen Nianzu to pry open his lips, he allowed Shen Nianzu’s tongue entry, allowed Shen Nianzu to lick and plunder the warm cavern of his mouth. Yet all the time, let alone moving, he was not even breathing. While Shen Nianzu’s longing was slightly soothed by this intimate connection, he quickly grew dissatisfied with the man’s passivity, making it seem as if he was the only one craving for the taste of the other.

Why isn’t he responding? Isn’t he usually the most enthusiastic about this? Shen Nianzu wondered dazedly as he cracked his eyelids open and was met with the sight of Jin Jiuchi’s comically wide and unblinking eyes.

And in an instant, realization hit him like a ton of bricks.

Wait a moment... this person he was kissing right now... he was not Jin Jiuchi, his lover, but the twins who had devoured each other!

As the image of the twins’ innocent and endearing eyes flashed in his mind, Shen Nianzu abruptly froze still with their lips entwined intimately, a sense of dread settling in the pit of his stomach.

Oh no, he... he had kissed the wrong person!

In his defense, this version of Jin Jiuchi looked exactly the same as the one he knew, which lulled him into a false sense of security! Who could have guessed that they would instantly become this big once they merged with each other?! Did they skip the adolescent phase altogether and leap straight into adulthood?!

No, that’s not right either. They were already more than a hundred years old, so calling them children was not exactly accurate...

However, it did not change the fact that this Jin Jiuchi was completely pure and innocent! And Shen Nianzu... oh God, he had gone and exchanged such a filthy kiss with this man – with tongue, teeth, saliva and all!

Sweating profusely, Shen Nianzu began to pull out his tongue, his mind racing with a million excuses he could use to salvage the situation, yet none seemed remotely plausible. He gingerly released Jin Jiuchi’s lips, but before he could fully distance himself, the back of his head was suddenly caught by a large palm, cutting off his means to escape!

Shen Nianzu snapped his gaze up in shock, a quiet gasp escaping his lips when he found those breathtaking heterochromic eyes fixated on his lips, blazing with a fervent intensity that almost bordered on obsession. Shen Nianzu’s heart lurched, and alarm bells went off in his mind at the same time as Jin Jiuchi rasped,

"Again."

Then he swooped in and captured Shen Nianzu’s lips in a kiss so brutal that it seemed like he wanted to maw Shen Nianzu’s lips bloody. "W–Wait...!" Shen Nianzu hurriedly grasped the man’s jaws to guide him. "Slower... a bit gentler... yes, that’s right..."

Shen Nianzu almost sobbed as their lips began to move against each other in a familiar dance, so sweet and intoxicating that he could lose himself within it forever.

Fuck it all, he thought as he closed his eyes and threw all of his senses into the kiss, his fingers entangled in Jin Jiuchi’s hair. He couldn’t apply logic and moral compass to this silly husky in the first place anyway. Might as well enjoy this kiss while it lasted.

Shen Nianzu almost hated the moment when he needed to inhale air into his aching lungs, and they parted just slightly, enough for them to breathe in the vapor from each other’s mouth. He ran his fingers through Jin Jiuchi’s hair, eliciting a muffled groan and shiver from the man. "You’re coming with me, right?" Shen Nianzu whispered between their lips, his breathing uneven. Unshed tears clung to his lashes, his cheeks flushed and his pale purple eyes glimmered like stars. Coupled with his soft, pleading voice, Jin Jiuchi’s little dog heart could stand no chance at all.

"I don’t care," he added unreasonably, almost like he was sulking. "I’m taking you away with me."

Did he not realize how pretty he looked like this? Did he not realize that, even without him asking, Jin Jiuchi was ready to stick to him whenever he went?

"Of course." Jin Jiuchi hugged the jade doll closer to him and nuzzled his nose into the silken silver hair, his eyes flashing with a possessive gleam of a predator who had caught his prey. He whispered oh so softly and tenderly into Shen Nianzu’s ear, as opposed to the monopolizing cage of his arms, "Nian’er, you are no longer allowed to leave us."
