After Xia Yi left and returned to his room, Su Jiu closed the door. When she turned around, she saw Rong Si leaning against the wall beside the door, staring at her.
It was as if he were looking at an unfaithful wife, and he naturally was the husband who had caught her in the act.
“Finally done chatting?”
Su Jiu was acutely aware that he was unhappy. She quickly reached out to take his arm and ingratiatingly said, “What’s wrong? Are you angry?”
“What do you think?” Rong Si’s face was grim. “You had a long chat with him. Besides, if I weren’t here, were you going to take what he offered you?”
“Of course, not!” Su Jiu shook her head vigorously. “Even if you weren’t here, I wouldn’t have accepted anything from any boy except you!”
She made a solemn vow. Rong Si was silent for a few seconds, then asked, “How long are you going to be filming with him?”
Su Jiu thought for a moment. “This show… it might take two or three months?”
Rong Si frowned. She is going to work with him for that long?
That person is obviously treating her differently. Hasn’t she noticed?
“You don’t hate him?”
Su Jiu blinked. “Why should I? If I did, we wouldn’t be able to work together. But I don’t like him either. I just treat him like a partner in a movie. Don’t think too much about it. I know how much I like you!”
Rong Si’s expression softened a little.
Knowing that he was falling for it, Su Jiu continued, “Besides, he’s not as handsome as you. He’s not as powerful as you either. Why should I like him? Wouldn’t that be stupid? If I really do that, I must be out of my mind!”
Rong Si reached out and tapped her forehead. “It’s good that you know.”
“You’re not angry anymore?” Su Jiu looked up at him eagerly.
Rong Si smirked. “I don’t want to get mad at you over someone who doesn’t matter.”
That wouldn’t be worth it. All he wanted was to be happy with her.
Laughing, she hugged him again. “You’re so sweet. I’m liking you more and more!”
Rong Si reached out and hugged her tightly, burying his face in her hair again. “Me too.”
He was liking her more and more as well. He had reached the point where he had to have her.
***
Late at night, Su Jiu nestled in Rong Si’s arms and fell asleep after finding a comfortable position. However, Rong Si could not fall asleep. As a normal man, it was impossible for him to not have any thoughts when the girl he liked was in his arms.
But there was nothing he could do. She had had a long day. How could he wake her?
As he was thinking, Su Jiu subconsciously snuggled into his arms and continued to sleep, making Rong Si’s control fray even more.
D*mn! He shouldn’t have stayed and slept with her. Rong Si had always thought he was decent enough to control himself, but he had overestimated his self-control, especially around her.
Rong Si’s breathing quickened slightly. He could only turn his face away from Su Jiu and force himself to close his eyes.
But as if she were deliberately antagonizing him, Su Jiu placed a hand directly across his chest and wrapped her arms around him. She even draped one leg over him.
Such a sleeping position…
It was as if she were hugging a large plush toy. It was so intimate.
Rong Si stiffened, at a loss. He didn’t want her to hold him like this now. This made it harder for him to suppress his feelings, but he enjoyed her warmth. He wanted her closer.
