Ji Sang stood naked in front of the bathroom mirror. Her fair and delicate skin was covered with fingerprints and kiss marks left by the man, especially two distinct strawberry-like marks on her neck.
Ji Sang covered her face with her small hands, her face blushing uncontrollably, and took a deep breath before quickly standing under the showerhead and hurriedly taking a shower. She put on clean clothes one by one to cover up those wild marks.
Thinking that she would have to face the man she had spent the night with, her thin face blushed again uncontrollably.
Ah, how did she, someone relatively conservative, end up like this?
Ji Sang couldn’t understand. She shook her head forcefully, did some mental preparation, and then slowly stepped out of the bathroom.
“Are you ready?” The man’s low, magnetic, and hoarse voice came from above.
“Uh…”
Ji Sang was startled and accidentally bumped into the man’s firm chest. She instinctively took a step back, and her black eyes met the man’s jet-black eyes.
Since yesterday, Ji Sang had known that Wen Jian had beautiful eyes. His pupils were dark yet bright, with deep depths that gave a sense of deep affection when he looked at people. She couldn’t help but be drawn in, her heart skipped a beat unexpectedly.
“You… Did you wait for me here on purpose?”
“Mm, are you hungry?” Wen Jian naturally took her hand and walked in the direction of the dining room.
“Uh…”
Ji Sang was caught off guard by his gesture, and she hesitated for a moment. Her fingers struggled in his palm but couldn’t break free. Her eyes looked at their hands—his palm was wide, with long and powerful fingers, and a slight callus on the fingertips. Being held by these hands, a sense of reassurance emerged in her heart. It was these hands that gently caressed every part of her body, bringing her ultimate pleasure.
Ji Sang took a deep breath, calmed herself, and then looked at his house. She hadn’t paid much attention to it yesterday when she followed him inside, as they quickly got to the point. It was her first time carefully observing his home.
The decoration style was minimalist, with black, white, and gray tones. The living room was spacious, with dark-colored sofas and a wooden coffee table adorned with a vase. The vase contained white jasmine flowers with long and pure white petals that scattered fragmented shadows under the abundant sunlight. The balcony window was open, and the delicate breeze swayed the curtains. On the wall next to the curtains hung some aesthetically pleasing paintings.
There was a delayed breakfast on the dining table, with two bowls of fresh millet porridge, purple sweet potato buns shaped like rabbits, fried egg pancakes, and a fruit platter.
Wen Jian pulled a chair for her and chuckled softly, “I don’t know what you like to eat, so I made a few things.”
Uh…
He made all this casually?
Casually made so much?
Ji Sang had prepared a lot of things to say in the bathroom, such as “We just had a one-night stand, it’s nothing,” or “Casual flings between modern men and women are common, you don’t have to take responsibility.” But at this moment, facing the delicious food, she couldn’t utter a single word.
Wen Jian waited for her to sit down, then took a seat beside her and lifted his chin slightly to signal her. “Please enjoy.”
Ji Sang was truly hungry.
Yesterday, Wen Qian called me to catch a cheating partner, and I didn’t even have dinner. Later, I spent so much time with him, which seriously drained my energy. I was starving to the point that my front and back were sticking together. When he handed me the chopsticks, without much thought, I started devouring the food.
The taste was really good. Inside the purple sweet potato bun, there was red bean paste with sweet preserved fruits and dried nuts. As soon as I took a bite, a sweet sense of happiness filled my mouth.
The satisfaction of my taste buds seemed to unconsciously erode the distance that existed between us.
Ji Sang’s originally nervous heart gradually calmed down, partly because the food was delicious, and she ended up eating more than expected.
The dining table was quiet.
Wen Jian had excellent table manners and waited until she finished eating before speaking.
“Wen Zhiyu is my younger brother.”
“!!!”
Ji Sang almost choked on her water, coughing until her eyes turned red, while her mind raced. So she went to catch a cheater, got cheated on, and then accidentally slept with her ex-boyfriend’s older brother?
Right! They both have the last name Wen!
Why didn’t she think of that yesterday?!
But how did he know that she was dating Wen Zhiyu?!
Ah! Regardless! Isn’t this… exciting?!
“Sorry, while you were asleep, I had someone investigate you.”
“You investigated me?” Ji Sang looked at him in astonishment.
Wen Jian had an honest expression and nodded. “Yes.”
Ji Sang really felt like she was going to drown in the water.
Wen Jian’s broad palm followed along her spine, and wherever he touched her, she felt goosebumps sliding from the back of her head all the way down to her tailbone. She hurriedly moved away from his touch and anxiously said, “You… What do you mean now? Aren’t you… Wen Zhiyu’s brother? I’ve already broken up with Wen Zhiyu. What happened yesterday… It was consensual. It was just a one-night stand. Once we step out of this door, who would recognize who you are?”
“A one-night stand?” Wen Jian enunciated each word, as if squeezing them out of his teeth. Hearing that, Ji Sang felt a knot in her chest.
“Isn’t that what it was?”
“That’s not how I see it.”
Ji Sang choked for a moment, and then he continued, “Sang Sang, I feel like we’re very compatible.”
“I know Wen Zhiyu cheated on you, isn’t this a perfect opportunity?”
Ji Sang: “???”
Wen Jian chuckled lightly, his finger hooking the hair near her temple behind her ear, and said in a seductive manner, “To go from being an ex-girlfriend to a sister-in-law…”
Ji Sang widened her beautiful eyes, looking at Wen Jian in shock.
Wen Jian said again, “But that’s a trivial reason. The more important reason is that I feel we are compatible, and I want to explore a relationship with you.”
Ji Sang was completely dumbfounded. Her usually sharp mind seemed to have dozed off at this moment. After a long pause, she managed to say, “Where… are we compatible?”
As soon as she finished speaking, she felt that something was wrong. She saw the smile at the corner of the man’s lips deepening, his handsome face gradually magnifying. His emanating hormone scent overwhelmed her, making it hard for her to breathe. She could only widen her eyes and gaze at him intently.
He slightly parted his thin lips and said meaningfully, “I feel that we are suitable for each other in every aspect.”
Suddenly, various details of their intimate encounters flashed through Ji Sang’s mind. Her face instantly turned blood red, and she forcefully pushed him away. She took a deep breath and, with embarrassment turning into anger, said, “Just talk, why did you have to get physical?”
“Don’t be so agitated!”
Wen Jian didn’t use force; his back gently hit the back of the chair, and a soft chuckle escaped his throat.
After finishing breakfast, Ji Sang had to go back to school. She had a calculus class in the afternoon.
Wen Jian had nothing to do, so he held her hand and went to the underground garage.
This man seemed to particularly enjoy holding hands.
Ji Sang’s palms were sweaty, and she wanted to pull her hand out of his grasp. He turned to look at her and asked, “What’s wrong?”
Furrowing her brows, Ji Sang exerted some force and finally broke free from his grip. She glared at him dissatisfiedly and said, “Stop holding hands, my hands are sweaty.”
Then the man shifted positions, moving from the right to the left, and his big hand once again enveloped her small hand, as if he couldn’t get enough of holding it.
Ji Sang was left speechless by this scene.
The two of them left the elevator and headed straight for the man’s car.
Wen Jian opened the passenger door for her. Just as Ji Sang was about to step in, she heard someone calling out to Wen Jian from behind.
“Brother?”
It was a voice that Ji Sang was extremely familiar with.
Ji Sang paused in her actions and turned to look at the source of the voice. She saw Wen Zhiyu, accompanied by the girl they had seen yesterday, standing not far away.
The few of them locked eyes.
When Wen Zhiyu saw Ji Sang, he was momentarily stunned. He looked at the two of them standing intimately together with confusion and asked, “Ji Sang? Brother? What’s going on with you two…?”
