Still Not Wanting to Forget (Web Novel) - Chapter 14
Chapter 14
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
Si Nian subconsciously took a step backwards.
Her self-preservation instinct kicked in. “Director Cheng… let’s discuss the script tomorrow?”
Burying one’s head in the sand, that idiom? This was it.
Cheng Chen frowned a little, saying nothing.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, both of them were rooted in their spots. In the end she surrendered, forcing herself to walk out of the elevator.
After the elevator doors were closed tightly, she stared at him. She asked hesitatingly, “You can’t be expecting me to sleep in your room tonight?”
He was still silent, he merely fished out the hotel key and walked out of the elevator lobby.
The more he was quiet, the more anxious her heart became.
Could he really be angry? Just now she saw that Tong Jia was sticking so close to him, she might as well be climbing on him. She just wanted to sulk a little… the Great Director Cheng couldn’t be this petty, could he?
Only when Cheng Chen opened the door, only did she clear her throat, wanting to say something. Unexpectedly he turned around to embrace her, asking, “Continue?”
…
With his free hand, he closed the door and then carried her to the bed.
I knew it…
Hugging his neck, Si Nian kindly reminded him, “Director Cheng, you still have work tomorrow…”
“It doesn’t matter.”
Cheng Chen lightly planted a kiss on her, gently placing her on the bed.
Si Nian observed his expression and then sighed. Resigned, she said, “Let’s begin then, I know you definitely won’t give up until you succeed.”
Cheng Chen stared at her with mirth. “Just now, who was the one who said to try again?”
…
She was just saying that to make him retreat, but obviously that tactic didn’t work on him.
Remembering their afternoon, her entire face was crumpled in pain. Even Cheng Chen couldn’t refrain from smiling. “Si Nian?” “Hurry, hurry,” she had said, letting out a breath, “while I still have the courage.”
He sat down on the edge of the bed. “Were you jealous just now?”
“Just a little… did I overdo it?”
“It’s okay.” His voice was low. “When women occasionally express their jealousy, it’s pretty cute. If it’s a woman who I don’t like, I will be very disgusted.”
Si Nian stared at him, her heart felt as soft as marshmallows.
He had once said similar words to her many years ago.
She remembered back then, there were many little girls chasing after him in the game. She would often get so angry that she would throw away all his equipment, sell off their house, and then run off to an isolated corner of the game to sulk. There were a lot of people who ridiculed her for making such a big fuss but Cheng Chen always had an even temper. He would look for her in all corners of the game without a word of complain.
One time she was unable to hold it in and asked him over the phone, “Don’t you think that I’m overdoing it?”
Back then he was suffering from a cold. He was smiling when he said that sometimes when girls were jealous, it can be pretty adorable.
She was touched and she leaned closer to him. She hugged his waist, quietly contemplating her words. She finally said, “Say, do you think you owed me a debt in your last life? After so long, I still manage to meet you?”
Cheng Chen made an “en” sound, hugging her close. “I think so.”
His laughter was gentler than usual. Si Nian peered at him, gently saying, “Did you know that your smiling face is very good-looking? But sadly when you’re working, you seldom smile.”
“Is it?”
He lowered his head, slowly closing into her.
So close that she can see herself reflected in his eyes.
…
“No, I can’t, I can’t…” Si Nian’s tears began to overflow.
Cheng Chen was so frantic from her tears that he clumsily held onto her. Only after coaxing her gently for a long time, Si Nian quieted down. In a timid voice, she said, “Say, do you think I’m built differently? I never heard that it would hurt this much…”
Cheng Chen wiped away her tears with regained calmness. “Since it’s your first time, it’s very normal.”
Si Nian guiltily looked at Cheng Chen. Contemplating for a long time, she finally said, “Why don’t you… go to the bathroom?”
“… go to sleep.”
Cheng Chen turned off all the lights and then hold her tightly in his embrace.
After a while, the sound of breathing beside her ears began to calm. He must be asleep.
Si Nian hesitated for a moment before grabbing her phone to send Shen Wei Jue a text. The reply was almost immediate: “Aren’t you in your marital bed?”
Si Nian almost bit her tongue. “How did you know?”
Shen Wei Jue: “My idol told me. Just now he called me to gossip.”
…
She didn’t know whether to cry or laugh. When she was still thinking how to respond, Shen Wei Jue had already sent her another text. “Did you succeed?”
Si Nian: “Not yet…”
Shen Wei Jue: “It couldn’t be, could it? Did you simply had a talk under the quilt? You’re both at marriage age, what innocence are you guys trying to fake?”
Si Nian: “What marriage age…”
Shen Wei Jue: “It’s true that your chest is a little small, perhaps he lost interest after seeing you. Didn’t I say, you should be eating more...”
Si Nian: “What… it’s he who doesn’t know how to do it!”
Shen Wei Jue: “… do you think this is doing a maths question? All men know how to do this!”
Si Nian quietly thought about this for a moment, then slipped the phone under the pillow. She turned over and shook Cheng Chen awake.
“What’s wrong?” His voice was thick of sleep, he was still half awake.
“Continue?”
…
Cheng Chen was quiet, neither did he move.
He went back to sleep…
Si Nian lightly turned under the quilt. When she was about to give up completely, an arm firmly embraced her waist. He was no longer as accommodating as he was in their previous tries.
In the dark, her entire body was flushed with heat. She hugged him nervously. “Were you pretending... weren’t you not able to do it earlier?” Cheng Chen laughed. “I’m afraid that you’ll be hurt. The moment you said it hurts, I stopped immediately.”
Now, he was no longer afraid?
He helplessly tried to distract her, saying in a quiet voice, “I think if I don’t finish this thoroughly, you won’t let me sleep in these few days…”
His tongue gently probed hers, whatever words were left unsaid. His hand propped her neck, adjusting the angle of their kiss, not giving her a chance to respond.
…
“Si Nian?”
She was left completely deprived of energy, her heart still furiously beating to the point she was beginning to feel numb. After Cheng Chen called her name again, she gritted her teeth and made a sound of acknowledgment. She then kicked him softly in the leg.
How sly, he actually pretended he didn’t know how to do it…
“Do you want to take a bath?” He gently stroked her hair. “I’ll carry you there?”
“… Don’t want to.” She just wanted to go to bed and sleep to death.
“Then I’ll go?” Cheng Chen still humoured her good-naturedly. “It’s almost five. I’m starting work at six. If you want to go back to Shanghai, I’ll have my assistant book you a ticket for tomorrow.”
Si Nian made an “en” sound, hugging his waist.
