Chapter 713: 713 you attract me “Of course it’s satisfying.” Sun Ling faced the night wind, looking at the B&B’s main entrance and said, “If he fails, his heart must be dead, right? This time, he might be closer to his son than ever, but it’s a pity that human desire is boundless like a snake trying to swallow an elephant.” “All of this was his own choice, selfish people like him don’t need you to set traps for them, they will walk into the darkest abyss on their own.” Jing Yizhou hummed, “So, you don’t need to worry about me staying here for a lifetime. When I’m tired of it, I will naturally leave, but now is not the time.” “When will it be the time? Or perhaps, what does ‘the time’ you’re talking about refer to?” Sun Ling pressed. At that moment, one of them was standing, the other sitting. The seated person looked up at the standing one, seeming desperately anxious to get an answer from him. The sea breeze was damp and slightly salty. After a long stare, Jing Yizhou answered, “When I’ve fully contemplated life, that will be the time.” “You still need to think about life?” Sun Ling snorted with laughter. “Before meeting you or your team, I lived with great confidence. Later, I began to question my own worth. I used to believe in the motto ‘Every man for himself; heaven helps the selfish.’ I’ve lived by that, feeling very relaxed, but sometimes, playing the role of savior and good Samaritan doesn’t feel too bad either.” “You’ve only played the good guy with me.” Sun Ling said with amusement, “Let’s go, let’s go back to sleep. After returning home, we still have a tough battle to fight.” When Sun Ling heard these three words, she slipped and staggered on the sandy beach. Jing Yizhou quickly caught her, holding her in a half-embrace, and teased, “Is that kind of reaction really necessary?” “Shut your damn mouth!” Sun Ling, after regaining her footing, immediately pushed Jing Yizhou away. “In a foreign land, with just the two of us on this romantic beach, not doing something would be a disgrace to such a perfect atmosphere,” Jing Yizhou said with a shameless grip on Sun Ling’s hand. Sun Ling paused because she could feel the tender warmth and moistness from Jing Yizhou’s palm. He must be nervous too… Sun Ling didn’t struggle, letting him lead her, and the two walked shoulder to shoulder along the coastline for a long distance. However, as they were about to return to the hotel, Jing Yizhou changed his grip from her hand to her waist. Sun Ling: “…Aren’t you… getting a little ahead of yourself?” “Am I?” Jing Yizhou laughed, “Sister, don’t you want to figure out the reason for your racing heartbeat?” “It’s my heart that’s racing, it’s me,” Jing Yizhou cooperated. When they reached the villa where they were staying, Sun Ling intended to go to her own room, but Jing Yizhou pulled her back, “Didn’t you just say you wanted to sleep with me?” ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝⚫𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖⚫𝕟𝕖𝕥 This time Sun Ling didn’t hold back, raising her hand as if to strike, but Jing Yizhou caught it. “It’s me again… I want to sleep with you.” This time, Sun Ling’s face flushed all the way to her neck. “Do you know how easily you could get punched, talking nonsense like that?” “So I’m risking a full-body fracture to ask if you want to be with me, considering that once you leave tomorrow, who knows when we’ll see each other again. Gu Zheng hasn’t been harassing you again, has he? And with all those young guys around, if I keep being passive, I might lose my sister to someone else.” When Jing Yizhou said this, his gaze was fervent, even dizzying. It carried an unbearable charge, yet it was irresistible, willingly stunning her into submission. “Do you still need to… test the waters?” “I… am not psychologically prepared,” Sun Ling answered. “Are you sure you didn’t come here to find out for sure whether you like me or not?” To the backdrop of coconut trees, their conversation became more candid. “Since it’s about confirming your feelings, how could you not be prepared? Are you just a shrinking turtle…” “Get away from me, give me some space, let me get a clear picture,” Sun Ling suddenly begged. “Okay…” Jing Yizhou stepped back two paces, “Is that clear enough? Do you need me to illuminate it for you?” “You triumph!” Sun Ling couldn’t help but cry and laugh, yet the temperature of her body didn’t decrease with Jing Yizhou moving away. Instead, she craved more of Jing Yizhou’s warmth, even though it was almost too much for her to handle. It felt as if some strong emotion was about to burst forth all of a sudden. She wanted to convince herself that it was foreign land nostalgia, gratitude, or loneliness. But her heart, it seemed, had long been taken away, without the slightest remorse. “Are you seeing clearly now?” Jing Yizhou, seeing her silent for a long time, asked eagerly. Sun Ling didn’t answer. Jing Yizhou seized the chance to grab her palm and place it over his heart, saying, “If our heartbeats match in speed, doesn’t that prove everything?” This should have been a scene perfect for a confession… But Sun Ling felt an unbearable warmth spreading throughout her body, leaving her light-headed and collapsing. Seeing this, Jing Yizhou hoisted her up onto his shoulder and carried her straight back to the room, placing her on the large bed. “I’ve never seen a girl like you. Don’t you have any respect for me? We were in the middle of a romantic exchange, and you suddenly faint. What’s that all about?” Grasping Jing Yizhou’s shoulders, Sun Ling shook her head, “You’re too hot.” “Then why are you still so close to me? Admit it, sister. No matter how many excuses and reasons you have, you can’t deny the fact that I attract you.” “Mmm.” This time, Sun Ling responded with an embarrassed nod of agreement. “What does ‘mmm’ mean?” “You attract me,” Sun Ling conceded, “I’ll stay here tonight…” “But you can’t do anything. I just want to know if I will still be able to say these four words ‘you attract me’ tomorrow!”
