Su Yue’s hands were cold, clammy, and sweaty .
The man behind her was motionless . She didn’t dare to move nor to turn her head .
“I’m going to sleep, goodnight . ”
Suddenly, Jiao Chen flung the blanket away .
“Jiaojiao . ” Su Yue garnered all her courage and tightly embraced Jiao Chen .
Su Yue sensed that Jiao Chen froze on the spot .
Her heart was thumping violently against her chest . With every ounce of determination, she shut her eyes and blurted, “Jiaojiao, let’s be together and get married . ”
How embarrassing!
How could she, a girl, propose to a man?
“Susu . ”
Su Yue only heard his hoarse voice calling her, but in the next moment, he had sealed her lips with his .
She closed her eyes and was too embarrassed to look at him .
She placed her hands stiffly on his back, unsure of what to do .
Her body was slightly trembling .
The man was kissing her passionately and fiercely, but Su Yue could still feel his gentleness .
Although she wasn’t looking forward to being intimate with him, she wasn’t entirely against the idea .
They lived together for four years and under the same roof .
He had used his life to save her, and he risked losing it . She spent countless nights taking care of him, and that warranted that they should be very intimate and close .
It was normal for them to be kissing…
Jiao Chen’s hands caressed Su Yue’s back as his kisses traveled to her neck .
His breathing became hurried and deeper .
Su Yue was trying to hold her breath as she kept her eyes closed all this time .
She could feel a part of Jiao Chen’s body changing, and she bit her lips .
“Susu,” Jiao Chen called Su Yue’s name in a gentle tone .
Su Yue didn’t reply . Instead, she moved her hands from his back to his neck .
The moment her soft hands touched Jiao Chen’s skin, he felt as though he was about to explode .
His kisses intensified .
‘Jiao, your cranial nerves are being compressed, and they are slowly dying . ’
‘The success rate of the surgery is less than five percent…’
Jiao Chen halted, and then he raised his head . He gazed at Su Yue with red and glistening eyes .
Su Yue’s eyelids fluttered as she gazed back at the man .
Her heart tightened when she saw his face .
Jiao Chen’s face was glazed with perspiration, but his face was sickly pale .
“Jiaojiao . ” She stretched her hand to wipe off the perspiration on his forehead .
Jiao Chen moved his head to avoid her touch . “I’ll go take a shower . You sleep first . ”
He muttered that in his deep voice, but it sounded like it was quivering . He was obviously trying to suppress something deep within him .
He hastily left .
Su Yue blankly stared at Jiao Chen, who soon vanished out of sight .
After he had closed the door, she was soon jolted back to her senses .
She retracted her gaze and slowly raised her head . Her heartbeat gradually went back to normal .
She heaved a sigh of relief… rather unconsciously .
Why?
Su Yue realized that she was relieved when Jiaojiao didn’t carry on . But why would she feel relieved?
She recalled how Jiao Chen looked and a pang of pain stabbed her heart .
But why did he always distanced himself from her?
She could feel his love for her—but why?
He was still recuperating for the first two years when they were abroad . But now… why was he still so cold towards her?
