Chapter 205: A Gentle Kiss

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Jin Nian didn’t feel as secure as Lu An. She sat in the bathtub, playing with the bubbles, and was enjoying herself.

Taking a bath in the middle of winter felt like pure bliss.

The entire house had underfloor heating, making it warm and cozy, almost like spring. Jin Nian no longer complained about the cold and dampness of Binhai city’s winter. She could even wear a short-sleeved shirt at home.

It was Jin Nian who had suggested taking a bath, and Lu An decided to join her in the bathtub.

At some point, Lu An quietly came up behind Jin Nian. He wrapped his strong arm, adorned with intricate tattoos, around her waist and pulled her close to his chest.

Jin Nian didn’t resist. The simply leaned against Lu An’s body. However, she wasn’t entirely passive. Her hands were busy beneath the layers of foam.

Kisses rained down on Jin Nian’s ears without a moment’s pause, followed by gentle nibbles and teasing bites.

Although the hot water had warmed Jin Nian’s body, she couldn’t help but shiver at this moment.

Lu An’s voice, with his magnetic charm, echoed in her ear, “Did you come to Hong Kong to find me after graduating from high school?”

Jin Nian didn’t want to answer initially, so she maintained her silence.

Lu An probed further. “Is there anything else you haven’t told me?”

Jin Nian continued to withhold her words, but Lu An had a knack for leaving her breathless. Eventually, her voice softened, and she surrendered, saying, “Stop it. 1’11 tell you, alright?”

As time passed, Jin Nian no longer felt the intense shame she once did when revisiting this memory.

In that year, Jin Nian carried a sense of guilt and a desire to find Lu An to apologize. She had indeed been somewhat impulsive. Despite being in an unfamiliar place, she boldly purchased a plane ticket and flew directly there. However, shortly after landing, her belongings were stolen.

Her stolen wallet didn’t only contain her bank card. It also held her ID card and passport.

Although she reported it to the police, the money couldn’t be recovered.

Back then, online payment methods like WeChat weren’t prevalent. People primarily used cash or card payments.

With assistance from the local authorities, Jin Nian found a place to stay for the night and secured a plane ticket to return the following day.

On the evening before her departure, Jin Nian had called Lu An, but he hadn’t answered.

For some inexplicable reason, she had mustered the courage to wander the bustling and crowded streets of Hong Kong alone. At that time, she wasn’t afraid of losing anything else, as there was nothing more to lose.

Her thoughts were consumed by a single question, “Lu An, where are you?”

Could he appear around the next corner?

However, despite walking until dawn, Lu An never materialized before her.

On her return flight, Jin Nian politely requested a blanket from the flight attendant.

She hadn’t uttered a word to disturb the other passengers. Instead, she had buried her face in the blanket and cried silently.

Now, as she reminisced, she realized that she hadn’t been particularly wise back then.

With her back still turned to Lu An, she recounted the past. The person behind her remained silent.

She wasn’t sure if Lu An intended to tease her, but when Jin Nian turned around, Lu An’s kisses descended upon her like an overwhelming wave.

Lu An’s kisses were always intense, leaving no room for respite.

With one arm, he held Jin Nian tightly in his embrace, and with the other, he grasped her chin firmly. At first glance, it seemed as if Jin Nian was being strangled.

This kiss was slightly different from their past encounters.

Lu An seemed more urgent, causing Jin Nian to involuntarily retreat step by step. Yet, Lu An would swiftly pull her back, positioning Jin Nian on his lap.

The hot water created steam, and Jin Nian was already short of breath. Now, she was on the verge of fainting from Lu An’s passionate kisses.

Instinctively, she began to lightly pound Lu An’s chest, causing water to splash around the bathtub.

Only then did Lu An release her. After gazing at Jin Nian for a moment, he suddenly planted a gentle kiss on the corner of her lips and spoke in Cantonese, “Silly Piggy, I’m sorry.”

Due to the lack of oxygen, Jin Nian was still panting heavily. She gave Lu An an exasperated look, thinking that he was apologizing for almost suffocating her.

However, Lu An was apologizing for not returning her call then.

He had seen her call later but had hesitated for a moment before deciding not to call her back.

He had thought that if she truly cared about him, she would call again.

But there were no more calls.

Lu An had no idea that Jin Nian had been all alone in Hong Kong at that time.

The rising mist threatened to redden Lu An’s eyes, but his amorous gaze remained fixed on Jin Nian with an intensity that wouldn’t dissipate.

On this particular night, Lu An continued to playfully tease Jin Nian, turning her every which way.

However, this tenderness was a first, and Jin Nian couldn’t help but wonder what had come over him that day.

Lu An asked her if she liked this approach. She blushed and replied softly, “Yes, I do.”

While Lu An often exuded an air of dominance, his current gentleness and the stark contrast made it nearly impossible for Jin Nian not to be moved..
