Chapter 190 Confusion
The cold white motion-sensor lights in the emergency exit illuminated again, and the black minivan quietly parked in its spot.
Guan Cha rushed over in three steps and climbed into the back seat of the carriage on time.
After getting into the car, Guan Cha had no more worries and sat down close to Bai Li without any restraint. He naturally wrapped his arms around her slender waist and pulled her closer to him. While being intimate, he placed a kiss on Bai Li's cheek.
The "pop" sound was particularly clear inside the enclosed carriage.
Bai Li was focused on her phone when she sensed Guan Cha's movement. Her fingers, which were holding the phone, curled up almost imperceptibly. She slowly put down her phone and turned to look at Guan Cha.
Guan Cha's breathing hadn't calmed down yet, probably because she had rushed over, and her once neatly styled hair was now a bit loose.
A barely perceptible smile flashed in Bai Li's eyes. She reached out and gently tucked a strand of Guan Cha's hair, which had fallen across her forehead from running, back behind her ear. Her voice was languid: "You're quite punctual."
Guan Cha kissed her once, still wanting more, and gently bit her earlobe with his canine teeth, his warm breath spraying onto the sensitive area behind her ear: "We can't keep Lili waiting too long."
As soon as he finished speaking, he lowered his head a little further, burying it in Bai Li's slender neck, gently nuzzling her with his nose, inhaling her unique scent, and then gently nibbling at the edge of her collarbone.
A tingling, itchy sensation shot up her neck and back, causing Bai Li to instinctively shrink her shoulders and push Guan Cha away.
She touched her neck; her skin was very sensitive, and Guan Cha's few light bites could very well have left marks.
In the sweltering summer heat, the marks left behind are unbearable, and I can't wear a scarf. I can only cover them with concealer, which is troublesome and uncomfortable.
Bai Li glared at Guan Cha fiercely, inwardly complaining that sometimes she really suspected Guan Cha had a sex addiction.
She decisively ignored Guan Cha's watery eyes, sat up slightly, and faced the driver's seat: "Ah Hu, drive."
Ah Hu was already used to Guan Cha's presumptuous behavior.
But no matter how many times I do it, I still feel a bit itchy.
Hey kid, have some self-control!
But he could only think about it in his heart.
When Ah Hu heard Bai Li's instructions, he didn't turn around. He simply replied "Yes" and silently raised the soundproof partition between the front and rear seats of the car. Only after the view and sound were completely blocked did he start the car and drive smoothly out of the parking lot.
After the car started, Bai Li's fingers began to twirl around Guan Cha's tie. As their eyes met, the boy's eyes became glazed over. Just as his kiss was about to land, Bai Li dodged it.
Rules still need to be established.
She feigned seriousness and said, "Don't leave any marks on me. Since this is your first offense, I'll let you off this time. But if you do it again..."
Bai Li paused slightly at this point.
She hasn't decided on a specific punishment yet.
It's probably a minor punishment like not being allowed to kiss for a week.
But when she got to the point of speaking, she hesitated.
I feel like closing the tea shop for a week is a bit too cheap.
Isn't this punishment too lenient?
But Guan Cha didn't know what she had imagined during that blank time. Her dazed eyes instantly cleared, and her face showed undisguised panic. Her hands, which were holding Bai Li, tightened and then loosened suddenly.
Before Bai Li could even state the specific punishment, he eagerly promised, his voice trembling slightly, "I'm sorry, Li Li, it won't happen again..."
Before she could finish speaking, her eyes were already red.
Guan Cha bit her lip and pleaded, "Don't hate me, don't abandon me, please..."
Bai Li was completely dumbfounded.
Although Guan Cha sometimes sheds a couple of tears when she pretends to be pitiful or acts coquettish.
I don't know where he learned the skill of crying whenever he wants.
Bai Li even joked that his skill was probably unmatched by many professional actors.
At this moment, although Guan Cha did not shed tears, Bai Li could feel the deep sorrow in his heart, as if he was about to break apart.
Would Guan Cha be so heartbroken to be hated and abandoned by herself?
Guan Cha's performance during this period was so outstanding that Bai Li thought he had completely gotten rid of those painful memories.
It turns out that it wasn't.
Those dark memories accumulated over the years have long been etched into my bones, and the insecurity and sense of unworthiness that lie dormant in my marrow have never truly dissipated.
When Guan Cha was by his side, he was actually always very uneasy, wasn't he?
I'm afraid it's all just a bubble, a lie.
That's why I'm so anxious and worried about losing things.
Without hesitation, Bai Li hugged Guan Cha back and whispered firmly in his ear, "No, it won't happen."
I won't abandon him, at least not now.
[Guan Cha's favorability +3]
Guan Cha's favorability rating: 95
Upon hearing the notification tone, Bai Li remained outwardly calm, but complex emotions welled up within her.
—I'm not far from reaching 100 favorability points.
To be honest, at first, she didn't really expect Guan Cha's favorability rating to be very high.
Would someone who loves money and is somewhat cunning really entrust their entire emotional life to another person?
But Bai Li knew she was wrong.
She was too one-sided before.
They thought Guan Chahui only cared about money.
Only now have I realized that deep down he is more genuine than anyone else – he doesn't easily show it to others, but if you treat him well, he will repay you tenfold.
Thinking of this, Bai Li released Guan Cha, grabbed Guan Cha's tie, and without much effort, pulled it down, and Guan Cha's kiss landed on her.
Devout and fervent.
The black anti-peeping barrier blocked the view from the outside, but the flickering streetlights still shone through the car windows, cutting out ambiguous spots of light on the leather seats and reflecting overlapping human figures.
In the quiet space of the back seat, the gentle sound of water was very clear.
Bai Li suddenly exerted force, pressing the person down onto the seat. The swaying pearl pendant slipped into the disheveled clothes and got stuck on the rose tattoo on Guan Cha's collarbone.
The pure white and the alluring red intertwine, creating an exceptionally tempting effect.
"So eager?" Bai Li asked, looking down at him.
Her fingertips traced the line of Guan Cha's taut jawline, and she heard a suppressed groan, just as she had hoped.
Tears were already welling up in Guan Cha's eyes.
I don't even know when I started crying...
She was clearly crying, yet her lips, now rosy from the kiss, blossomed into a smile, as if a believer had finally touched the altar.
He gazed up at Bai Li, watching as the saintess swallowed him whole once more, sinking into a sea of tenderness.
In a daze, even more tears flowed.
The scent of cedarwood and ebony from the car air freshener intertwined and blended together, forming a visible vortex of mist at the air conditioning vents.
The barrier was suddenly knocked three times, and Ah Hu's deep voice transmitted a reminder: "Miss Bai, we're home."
Silver threads were pulled out between their intertwined lips and teeth.
Before getting off the bus, Bai Li straightened her collar in front of the makeup mirror and caught a glimpse of a small red mark.
Upon closer inspection, there is indeed a small mark on my neck, but it's not deep and should disappear by tomorrow.
Although her makeup hadn't changed much, her lipstick was completely gone.
It's even cleaner than when she removes her makeup.
Bai Li: ...
We're already home, so there's no need to refill it.
Bai Li noticed Guan Cha, who was propping her head up and looking at her intently, beside her.
Suddenly, the question of where to place the man in front of her came to mind.
Are you staying at my place tonight?
Upon hearing Bai Li's question, Guan Cha's eyes lit up instantly. Afraid that Bai Li would change her mind, she quickly nodded in agreement.
The moment Bai Li stepped into her home, she was caught off guard and saw a familiar figure.
He has an upright posture and a cool and aloof demeanor.
