Today’s medicine was different from last time.
The one from last time would make her completely lose consciousness after drinking it, but today’s only blurred her awareness, as if she were in a dream.
Then, her whole body felt weak, and no matter what he wanted to do to her, she would be powerless to resist.
Cheng Sisi, dissatisfied with being disturbed in her sleep, whimpered a few times in his arms. After being carried out and thrown onto the sofa, she even began to sob softly in grievance.
“Don’t touch me, I want to sleep!”
She muttered softly, seemingly even calling out Jiang Xin’s name. She probably thought it was Jiang Xin messing with her and keeping her from sleeping.
Then, she felt an itch in her ear and raised her hand to scratch it, only to have her hand grabbed by Jiang Zhuo instead.
Her ear itched because Jiang Zhuo was leaning close to it, his breath blowing against her earlobe, making it tickle.
She tried to pull her hand back, but he held it tightly.
Jiang Zhuo slowly moved upward, planting a kiss on her soft hair before taking a deep breath.
Even the scent of her hair intoxicated him!
“…Sisi.”
He exhaled softly, whispering her name.
Constantly disturbed, Cheng Sisi grew annoyed. She tried to pull her hand back with force, but due to the medicine, her strength was weak, and she couldn’t break free from his grasp.
“Don’t… I want to sleep… don’t touch me!”
Her voice was soft and carried a hint of a childish tone from drowsiness, filled entirely with grievance.
Soft and tender, he wanted to devour her whole.
“Don’t?” Jiang Zhuo leaned close to her ear again. “Don’t what?”
“Don’t touch me!” She grew angry and suddenly opened her eyes.
Turning her head, she realized it was him beside her and widened her eyes in fright. “Brother Jiang Zhuo?”
“It’s me!”
He smiled, the infatuation in his smile making her heart race.
She propped herself up and tried to shrink back, only to realize she was on the sofa with nowhere left to retreat.
“Brother Jiang Zhuo, what are you doing?”
But Jiang Zhuo didn’t answer. Instead, he directly pressed a light, quick kiss to her lips.
“Like this, what do you think I want to do?”
Cheng Sisi’s frightened eyes immediately reddened. She covered her mouth and shook her head frantically.
“Don’t like it?”
He tugged at her already half-exposed pajamas. With his back to the light, the dim yellow glow fell on his back, and the halos of light seemed to grow ambiguous because of his gaze.
His eyes were blatantly seducing her!
She had to admit that Jiang Zhuo was exceptionally handsome. None of the three Jiang siblings were anything less than good-looking.
With glasses on, he was a refined and aloof male god.
Without glasses, like now, he was a deeply enchanting seducer.
“Sisi, give yourself to me, okay?”
Completely, from skin to bone, from inside out, hand yourself over to him!
Under his seduction, Cheng Sisi’s gaze gradually grew hazy.
“Good girl, Sisi is such a good girl!”
“Brother… Brother Jiang Zhuo…”
Tears glistened at the corners of her eyes, but she finally regained her senses.
“No, we can’t!”
“Sisi, we can!”
“No, Brother Jiang Zhuo, I’m sorry. Please stay away from me.”
She reached out to push him but couldn’t move him no matter how hard she tried. Instead, he pressed even closer.
“Why…” she sobbed, her lips trembling. “Why do I have no strength?”
“Because you’re in a dream.”
“A dream?”
Cheng Sisi was utterly shocked, but why did it feel so real?
But Jiang Zhuo continued to coax her step by step, asking, “Think about it yourself. Why would I appear in your dream?”
“Why… why?”
The shy proximity so close at hand made her mind go blank.
Jiang Zhuo then answered slowly, word by word: “Because, you have me in your heart!”
She froze for several seconds, asking in confusion, “Brother Jiang Zhuo means that I like you in my heart?”
He raised an eyebrow, answering only with his eyes while simultaneously raising the ambiguous atmosphere to its peak.
“No, no, no, no… that’s not it!”
Cheng Sisi’s face flushed bright red as she shook her head vigorously in denial. “I like your younger brother, Jiang Si. I do hold a great fondness for Brother Jiang Zhuo, but it’s not that kind of liking!”
“Then why did you dream of me, not Jiang Si?”
She fell silent, unable to answer. She herself wanted to know why.
And aside from feeling it was real, she never questioned whether she was truly in a dream.
He said it was a dream, so she believed it!
Or rather, she believed even more that the real Jiang Zhuo would not be like this before her.
He was gentle, considerate, mature, a gentleman, a man of integrity.
He would not press her into the sofa and kiss her like this!
She pursed her lips, tears once again sliding from the corners of her eyes.
And Jiang Zhuo actually chased after that tear, swallowing it whole.
She tightly closed her eyes, unable to stop trembling. Her heartbeat took on an abnormal rhythm, thumping incessantly.
She had never been in such close contact with a man before!
“Brother Jiang Zhuo, I’m scared!”
“Don’t be afraid. This is in a dream. What happens in dreams is all fake. You can relax a little.”
“I’m still scared…”
“Don’t be afraid. Let me help you relax.”
“No… mmm…”
He covered her mouth, tasting her deeply.
…
The central air conditioning set at 28 degrees wasn’t exactly cool.
Later on, both of them were drenched in sweat, yet they never crossed that final line.
Because it was still her first time.
If they really did that, she would feel it when she woke up tomorrow and would discover the truth.
He still wanted to play a little longer, not wanting her to discover his true nature so quickly.
“Brother Jiang Zhuo…”
She lay weakly on the sofa, eyes red, showing the exhausted look of someone thoroughly bullied.
“Do you want more?” he asked.
And she didn’t refuse immediately; she hesitated.
“If you still want more, I’ll come to your dream again tomorrow, okay?”
She still didn’t answer, just stared at him dazedly.
“Now, I’ll take you back to sleep.” He gently picked her up from the sofa; her clothes were already barely hanging on.
Returning to the room, he placed her back on the bed and covered her with the blanket.
“Do you want me to sleep with you?”
She was so sleepy her eyelids were fighting, yet she forced herself to shake her head.
“Then you sleep first. I’ll leave after you fall asleep.”
“Be good, sleep well. I’ll turn off the light.”
She ultimately couldn’t hold on any longer and closed her eyes.
Watching her gradually fall asleep, Jiang Zhuo let out a deep sigh, filled with satisfaction.
When leaving, he deliberately didn’t turn off the light, lest she become suspicious when she woke up in the morning, since she had been sleeping with the light on before.
And for the rest of the night, Cheng Sisi slept exceptionally soundly due to exhaustion.
Early the next morning, she was awakened by Jiang Xin’s incoming call ringtone.
Jiang Xin reported she was safe, putting her mind at ease.
After hanging up, Cheng Sisi closed her eyes, intending to go back to sleep.
Three seconds later, she suddenly thought of something and sat up in shock.
She pulled back the covers and looked down, seeing that her clothes were still properly on, which allowed her to reluctantly breathe a sigh of relief. Then she glanced at the light in the room—it was still on, further proving that everything that happened last night was just a dream.
In the dream, Jiang Zhuo had said he would turn off the light.
“Thank goodness… thank goodness it was just a dream…”
Recalling last night, how he had pressed her into the sofa, leaving her barely clothed…
She clenched her fists tightly, feeling relieved once again that it was all just a dream.
She stepped out of the room, tiptoed to the staircase, and peered down, hoping to see if Jiang Zhuo was downstairs.
“Good morning!”
