1499 He Had To Be Responsible For Ji’er
As she carefully contemplated the meaning of his words, her body stiffened and she suddenly lifted her head to look at him in disbelief. “What did you just say?”
Chu Qi paused and look her deep in the eyes as a smile played on his lips. “Are you referring to what you just said about hitting you on the butt?”
Ji’er’s face flushed such a deep shade of red that blood might start gushing out of it. She stamped her feet and said with coy annoyance, “That’s not what I meant.”
“Then what do you mean?” Chu Qi smiled as he looked at her. There was a teasing look in his eyes.
Ji’er leaned against his chest and asked in a small voice, “Have you really accepted me and want to be with me?”
Chu Qi sighed and rubbed her head. He used her words against her. “I thought I’d expressed myself clearly.”
Joy flashed in Ji’er’s pretty eyes. She bit her lips. This felt like a dream. It did not feel real at all.
Lil Qi had stopped pushing her away. He had accepted her and wanted to be with her.
Her eyes were astonishingly bright.
After that, her eyes slowly turned wet and her shoulders trembled.
Chu Qi frowned when he saw this. He hugged her tightly in his arms. “What are you crying for, you silly girl?”
“I’m not crying…” Ji’er refused to admit it.
Chu Qi sighed. “Your face is covered in tears and you’re still not admitting it?” He used his thumbs to wipe away the shiny teardrops from her face.
Ji’er clenched the front of his shirt and mumbled, “I’m crying out of happiness…”
“Are you that happy to be with me?” Chu Qi asked with a quiet sigh.
“Yes.” Ji’er nodded vigorously as her arms circled around his waist. “All I want is to be with you.” This was the wish she had made since she was nine. How could she not be overjoyed when her wish had come true? She was beyond delighted!
Chu Qi was silent.
This girl was so forthright and sincere, yet he had tried to leave her and stay as far away from her as possible.
The thought of how sad she would be if he left had never crossed his mind at all.
If he had not accidentally inhaled the scent from Yaoyao’s bag of medicine, which had caused his self-control to crumble, he would never have made the decision to be Ji’er.
After all, she was so young while he…was so much older than her.
Not to mention, he was the one who had brought her up.
However, things had developed to this point and he could no longer avoid the situation. He had to be responsible for Ji’er.
When Ji’er noticed him being silent for a long time and not speaking, she began to feel a little insecure.
Would Lil Qi abandon her again?
She raised her hands and circled them around his neck. She lifted her petite face and said a little shyly, “Kiss me again, Lil Qi.”
Chu Qi was hugging her around the waist and when he heard her words, his gaze fell on her soft, rosy lips.
He already knew how sweet she tasted; it was an alluring and addictive sensation.
In all his thirty or so years, he had never experienced a feeling like that.
He had never yearned for it, nor did he look forward to it, but after being kissed twice by her that night, it left him with a feeling he had never felt before, and he was despicably stimulated by it.
As he stared at the girl in front of him, he gulped and a feeling of guilt surged through him, as if he had just committed an atrocity.
However, the thought was quickly put to rest as he stared at the sinfully wonderful temptation in front of him. He lowered his head and pecked her lightly on the lips.
He had underestimated his attraction for Ji’er. The moment his lips touched hers, he could not stop himself.
By now, the medicine had lost its effect on him and he was no longer affected by external factors.
He paused a moment and had to restrain himself with everything he had before managing to escape from his intoxication.
Despite this, his forehead was covered in sweat. He was about to move away from her when he suddenly felt something soft and wet brush the corner of his lip.
When he realized what it was, his body immediately tensed up and his eyes turned dark.
Ji’er had done it by accident. When he pecked her on the lips, the contact tickled her and she instinctively licked her lips, which resulted in her tongue inadvertently touching Lil Qi.
