Accidental Love

After reaching an agreement with Bi Ruoshan, Shi Yan suddenly sent another message.

Shi Yan: There's breakfast in the kitchen. You can warm it.

Zheng Shuyi looked at the chatbox with him and couldn't laugh anymore.

After a while, she got up and wandered to the kitchen.

After breakfast, Zheng Shuyi went back to the room and saw the message from Bi Ruoshan sent a few minutes ago.

Bi Ruoshan: Although option B sounds absurd, Shi Yan, a man in his twenties sleeping with his girlfriend on a bed, yet could still behave like an old monk is even more absurd.

Bi Ruoshan: Hahahahahahaha

Looking at the series of "haha"s, Zheng Shuyi typed with a cold face: Is it funny?

Bi Ruoshan: No, I'm just caring for you, haha.

When Spring returns to earth, the new willow buds are the first to know.

Zheng Shuyi opened the window, sat on the balcony, and let the sunshine shine on her. She closed her eyes to feel the warmth of this early spring.

Bi Ruoshan was just joking with her.

But after thinking about it, she suddenly felt like, What! She! Said! Was! Very! Right!

Because of Bi Ruoshan, Zheng Shuyi was a little distracted this whole morning.

After lunch, she watched some TV but was still thinking of the question of whether Shi Yan was good enough or not.

To make herself stop thinking about it, Zheng Shuyi took her laptop to Shi Yan's study room and spent some time organizing some information she researched a while ago.

A full 3G of text and audio data was stored in this folder and has been in there for a while. She wanted to use these days to organize them, but after trying, she found that using her left hand to use the mouse and keyboard was very inconvenient. Just labeling some lines of text wasted a lot of her time.

An hour later, Zheng Shuyi sat cross-legged on the sofa and insulted Xu Yuling for a while.

Then she went to Shi Yan and acted like a child again. Zheng Shuyi: Can't use the computer. Can't type words. I'm sitting alone in the living room. Poor me.

She didn't really have a purpose for typing these, she just wanted to talk to him.

However, before Zheng Shuyi was even able to send the "Hug" sticker, the extremely efficient Shi Yan quickly found a solution: I can call Qin Shiyue to come help.

Zheng Shuyi: "…"

Shi Yan, you're shoving choice B into my face…

Zheng Shuyi was sad for a while, then accepted Shi Yan's arrangement.

Whatever, at least I won't feel bored with someone to accompany me.

But that wasn't what Qin Shiyue was thinking.

She was sitting in the coffee shop below the company Yu You worked in, waiting for an "accidental" encounter.

Suddenly being called here, who has considered her feelings?

When she rang the doorbell, her face was full of helplessness, but still didn't forget to call "aunt".

Thanks to Shi Yan, Zheng Shuyi leveled up a generation. She felt a little flattered as she hooked her fingers at Qin Shiyue. 

"Come in."

Qin Shiyue looked at Zheng Shuyi's finger and said with surprise, "What happened to your hand?”

"It's nothing," Zheng Shuyi slowly walked to the study room, "A door accidentally closed on my hand."

"Are you okay?"

"Of course, I'm not that squeamish."

In the study room.

Qin Shiyue looked at the endless digital currency and professional information on Zheng Shuyi's laptop and almost fainted.

Although Zheng Shuyi was sitting beside telling her what to do while explaining everything, this was still a huge tribulation for her.

If it wasn't because she was aware Zheng Shuyi indeed needed help, she might not last until the next Lunar New Year to cut her hair.

What made her even angrier was that after being a typist for Zheng Shuyi all afternoon, Shi Yan came back from work and just glanced at her like a manager checking on a worker, "You can go home now."

Qin Shiyue: ???

I worked for a whole afternoon for your wife and you won't even award me a meal?

Shi Yan seemed to understand her eyes and knew what Qin Shiyue was thinking, but he didn't plan to change his mind in the slightest.

In the end, Qin Shiyue left while cursing.

After the third person left, Zheng Shuyi held her hands behind her back, stood in front of the dining room, and looked at Shi Yan for a long time.

The sun was like melted gold, going through the glass and landing on Shi Yan's face.

His figure was setting up the tableware with full attention as if this was a project where every second was worth a million.

But Zheng Shuyi started to get distracted inexplicably.

Looking at his face, she remembered what he said and did before.

Her mind was overheating from choosing between A and B.

Feeling Zheng Shuyi's gaze, Shi Yan raised his head and looked at her.

"Sit here."

Zheng Shuyi nodded and went over.

Because her mind was somewhere else, she subconsciously went to pull the chair with her right hand.

The moment she used force, she shook her hands frantically like she just got burned.

Shi Yan frowned and helped her pull the chair, "What were you thinking?"

"I was thinking…" Zheng Shuyi held her other hand and looked at him. Her voice turned quieter but was very direct, "Can I sit on your lap?"

“……”

Shi Yan paused for a second. He was still frowning but didn't forget to give a cold reply, "No."

Zheng Shuyi sat down unwillingly on the chair beside him, "Why not?"

Shi Yan picked up his spoon and started to stir the soup.

"Because then you wouldn't be able to eat dinner tonight."

Zheng Shuyi looked at him blankly.

If she heard such words for the first time, she would definitely start blushing.

But today, it only aroused questions.

――Do you only know how to talk?

A moment of silence later, Shi Yan didn't have the slightest change. Zheng Shuyi suddenly squeezed onto his laps and wrapped her hands around his neck.

"I want to."

One second, two seconds, three seconds…

Zheng Shuyi clearly felt that Shi Yan's eyes have changed.

He lowered his eyes to look at her. His face was calm, but behind his eyes seemed to be crashing waves. Even his breathing had an obvious change.

Yet the next second.

Shi Yan returned to the normal expression and picked up his bowl and chopsticks.

"Whatever."

——

Although someone made it sound really scary, this meal finished peacefully.

Not! A! Thing! Happened!

Zheng Shuyi wiped her mouth with a tissue, but her eyes kept looking towards Shi Yan.

With such obvious gazes, there was no way Shi Yan didn't notice them.

He looked towards her, "What are you looking at me for?"

Zheng Shuyi's eyes rolled around and replied vaguely, "Nothing."

If I said I'm looking to see if you're good enough, would you believe me?

——

After the meal, Zheng Shuyi hugged a pillow and made a nest on the sofa. She watched Shi Yan enter the study room.

A full two hours later, Shi Yan has been working the whole time and nothing happened.

Until Zheng Shuyi took a bath and walked out.

This time, she made a decision.

She wasn't going to wear underwear.

After knocking on the door of the study room lightly, Zheng Shuyi poked half of her body in.

"I'm going to sleep now?”

Shi Yan gave an "Mm" and turned his head casually over, but his eyes suddenly stopped.

Under the dazzling light, Zheng Shuyi was wearing long-sleeved pajamas.

But the top of her pajamas wasn't fully buttoned.

Because she just finished bathing, her skin seemed extraordinarily white with her collarbone showing some red.

He looked down.

The curve of her chest moved faintly along with her breathing.

The study room suddenly fell into extreme silence.

Zheng Shuyi held onto the door frame tightly.

She saw.

She saw the change in Shi Yan's eyes, the eyes that were looking at her scorchingly.

Like a normal man.

Yet the next second.

Shi Yan frowned slightly and then looked back at her laptop.

"Don't forget your painkillers before you sleep."

“……”

That's it?

Zheng Shuyi went back to the bedroom in disbelief. She laid on the bed and stared at the ceiling in a daze.

This night was the same as yesterday night.

Shi Yan took a shower, then asked some caring words about her injury.

――Then he slept.

As a result, Zheng Shuyi originally thought that option B was just a joke, but now she started to take it seriously.

——

The next day, the temperature rose again.

Zheng Shuyi happened to need to get a new medicine. After leaving the hospital, she asked the driver to stop at her house first.

After packing some lighter clothing, she looked at the silk nightdresses in the closet.

It was a set of two.

The outside was the normal nightgown, and the inside was a suspender nightdress of the same color.

She thought for a moment, then grabbed them, stuffing them into her bag.

Probably because she had this scheme in mind, and this scheme was very difficult, so Zheng Shuyi was extremely peaceful and quiet today.

When Shi Yan came back, she ate dinner properly then the two went to do their own things.

Because of her plan, she didn't even go to the study room to bother Shi Yan.

At the proper time, she took a bath and then put on her sexy suspender nightdress. 

After all, it was pretty revealing clothes, she was a little embarrassed to just go up to Shi Yan like this. So right after coming out of the bathroom, she went immediately to bed.

After waiting quietly for more than an hour, Shi yan was finally ready to sleep.

When she felt him laying down, she quietly grabbed onto the sheets tightly.

The fragrance from him attacked her and surrounded her.

He seemed to be very tired today. Like usual, he embraced her in one of his arms then closed his eyes.

Zheng Shuyi slowly turned and went closer to him.

He didn't move much, but his arms tightened.

Zheng Shuyi looked at the bottom of his chin as her breathing gently went across his neck.

She raised her head and kissed his chin softly.

It was a little itchy and soft.

Shi Yan still had his eyes closed, but the corner of his lips curved up a little.

The two's body temperature gradually merged together in this position.

Lying like this, Zheng Shuyi's hands weren't very convenient to move, so she used her feet to gently draw a line on his calf.

Under the dim lighting, Shi Yan just frowned.

He rubbed Zheng Shuyi's back.

"Stop moving, sleep, good girl."

“……？."

In the peaceful night, Zheng Shuyi sighed.

But a fist formed under the quilt.

Zheng Shuyi always thought of herself as beautiful as a flower. Everyone who saw her would praise her endlessly.

Yet now she was at the point where she has to take the initiative to seduce her boyfriend.

And failed!

It seemed that Shi Yan wouldn't be anything tonight either.

After a few minutes of peace, Zheng Shuyi suddenly pushed Shi Yan away in anger and faced her back towards her.

Shi Yan asked in the darkness.

"What is it?"

"Nothing, I'm hot, stay away from me."

——

Wearing the suspender pajamas to seduce Shi Yan was already the most daring thing she could do.

But even this failed. Maybe this man was simply cold and indifferent towards this. Maybe he didn't have desires. He could probably reach climax just by looking at all the money in his account.

Zheng Shuyi no longer had any hopes about him and was even ready for Platonic love.1[1]A relationship where the couple does not have sexual intercourse.

Having such thoughts in mind, Zheng Shuyi gradually became indifferent.

She could wear whatever she wanted and sleep however she wanted. Either way, he wouldn't show much of a reaction.

So the two of them entered the mode of old couples.

Usually, when Shi Yan was about to go to bed, Zheng Shuyi had already taken a bath, was lying quietly in her pajamas, and looking at her phone. As if there was no other person besides her.

Five or six days passed and Zheng Shuyi's fingers were much better.

At the hospital, the doctor removed the gauze and only applied a thin layer of medicine.

The congested nail bed changed from red to purple and looked a little sexy for some reason.

As long as Zheng Shuyi didn't squeeze her fingers, she wouldn't have a problem. She could pick up some non-heavy objects and even type on her keyboard and use her mouse.

It happened that there was a banquet Shi Yan had to attend that night, so Zheng Shuyi ate dinner with Qin Shiyue outside.

When she arrived home, it was already almost nine.

After taking a bath, she felt a little cold, so she wore a bathrobe on top of the suspender dress. Then she sat in the study room to check her email.

She would have to go to work tomorrow, so it was about time to start organizing what she would have to do.

Unknowingly, an hour passed, and a light rain began to fall outside the window.

Zheng Shuyi rubbed her neck when the small WeChat icon at the bottom of the screen flashed.

Bi Ruoshan: No way. Listen, let me tell you something.

Zheng Shuyi: What happened?

At night, Bi Ruoshan was naturally here to gossip with her. Zheng Shuyi chatted with her and forgot about the work she was doing.

Until Shi Yan opened the door.

Zheng Shuyi quickly returned a line of text and then turned her head around, "Are you back?"

Shi Yan looked at her solemnly as he gave an "Mm".

Zheng Shuyi yawned and then stood up.

"Then I'll go to sleep now."

As she passed by, she smelled a faint smell of alcohol.

She suddenly stopped.

"Did you drink?"

"A little."

"Oh."

Zheng Shuyi continued to walk outside, "Then sleep early too."

——

Back in the bedroom, she went onto the bed and then continued to text Bi Ruoshan.

Zheng Shuyi: Anyway, I have to sleep now.

Bi Ruoshan: That early?

Zheng Shuyi: Early? It's almost eleven.

Bi Ruoshan: You've been staying up until past twelve the past few days.

Bi Ruoshan: Oh, could it be that today… you two will do you thing on the bed?

——

In the study room, Zheng Shuyi's laptop wasn't closed.

Shi Yan took off his jacket and sat down. Just as he was about to help her close her laptop, she suddenly saw a WeChat dialog box on the screen and a line of text popping out.

――"No."

Then, the conversation continued.

――"Hahahahaha, really? Been sleeping on the same bed for so many days already and still didn't have sex?"

――"Can't help it. I wore my pajamas to seduce him and that didn't even work."

――"Hahahaha, I can't believe you failed that badly."

――"What does it have to do with me? It's him. It's him that's not good enough."

——

After complaining with Bi Ruoshan, Zheng Shuyi didn't immediately put away her phone and sleep. Instead, she went to WeiBo and started to scroll through posts.

When Shi Yan came in, she didn't even look up.

But from the corner of her eyes, she saw him taking off his tie.

He always wore a suit during the day, which perfectly outlined his figure and made him look like a dignified man.

But every time he untied his tie, Zheng Shuyi couldn't help but look for a little longer.

The way his hands tightened and pulled it off, it looked like he was ripping off the mask of the dignified him, showing the invasive nature of a man.

After he took off his tie and threw it on the bed, Zheng Shuyi looked away and asked, "Going to shower now?"

"Not yet."

"Oh."

Zheng Shuyi didn't really care, so she rubbed her hair and continued to look at her phone.

Suddenly, Shi Yan sat down beside her, took off his glasses, then took away her phone and placed it on the nightstand.

Zheng Shuyi: ?

Then, he loosened the belt in front of her waist and her bathrobe was opened.

Zheng Shuyi: ?

Before she even figured what was going on, Shi Yan was already on top of her.

Zheng Shuyi: ??? 

The hot breath and smell of wine overwhelmed her and her breathing was instantly stopped.

His fingers went through her hair and held her head as he kissed passionately, even a little aggressive.

Everything came so sudden. Zheng Shuyi wasn't prepared at all and she subconsciously put her hands on his chest.

She wanted to respond to his kisses, but she really couldn't and could only whimper. She could only let him violently occupy all of her consciousness from between her lips and tongue.

During this, Zheng Shuyi's hands slowly went upward and wrapped around his neck.

And at this time, her dress was suddenly lifted up.

Zheng Shuyi suddenly opened her eyes wide.

What she saw were Shi Yan's eyes that were full of dread.

It was a seductive stare.

Looking at her like this, his lips softened down. As he kept his lips on her, his hands went to her abdomen and slowly went up.

Zheng Shuyi immediately gasped as her whole body trembled.

This… where did this suddenness come from?

Before she came back to her senses, Shi Yan kissed her hard again.

His palm was warm. Every part that it went through made Zheng Shuyi feel like that part of the skin was burning.

Her mind turned blank. Her head was spinning. Even the chandeliers on the ceiling seemed to be trembling with her body.

"You, you…"

Her cheeks were bright red and her mouth was open, yet she couldn't form a sentence.

Shi Yan stopped what he was doing.

He propped himself up with one hand on Zheng Shuyi's side and stroked her cheek with the other. His thumb gently went across her lip.

"I cherish you, afraid that when I can't control myself, I'll hurt you." His voice was low and horse to the point that it had a bewitching effect, "And yet you say that I'm not good enough?"

Zheng Shuyi: "…"

She couldn't say anything and could only blink her eyes over and over again.

"Have I been too pampering with you?"

Because he wasn't wearing glasses, Shi Yan's eyes were slightly squinted. Before waiting for a reply, he kissed her earlobes over and over again.

"I, I didn't…"

Her hands pushed on Shi Yan's shoulders and were at a loss for words, "I…"

"I'm not here to listen to you explain."

Zheng Shuyi's breathing was no longer under her control. Her chest rose and fell violently again and again. She couldn't hear the rain outside anymore, she could only hear her own violent heartbeat.

"Stop, stop looking…"

The rain outside was getting louder and louder. Rustling wet leaves got stuck onto the window one after another.

In the chaos, Zheng Shuyi heard Shi Yan whisper, "Shuyi, you're so sensitive."

As if she sank into a boiling hot spring, Zheng Shuyi's consciousness was disappearing.

She bit the fingertips of her left hand. Her view waved up and down.

A moment later, she reached out to Shi Yan.

When he came down to kiss her again, her hands wrapped around the back of his neck.

Their shirts were wrinkled and then gradually taken off, lying around messily on the bed.

The spring rain was rarely so sudden and violent.

She half-opened her eyes. The dazzling lights were shaking and his shoulder moved from closer to far over and over again.

Zheng Shuyi could feel her consciousness slowly disappearing under the repeated clashes.

She saw his red eyes, his veins on his head, her own reflection, like that of a helpless leaf.

Up and down, everything went his way.

• 1[1]A relationship where the couple does not have sexual intercourse.
