Zhu Ning's hand was held in his palm.
On the inside was his well - defined chest muscles, and on the outside was his large, delicate hand that encircled hers.
"How... how can I save you?"
Chi Wannian held her hand and gently stroked his chest, leading her from his pectoral muscles all the way down to his abs. They were firm and smooth, and felt excellent to the touch.
"Just like this."
Zhu Ning was so dizzy from "taking advantage" that she stammered, "Will this really work? Should we call a doctor?"
He turned his head and rested it on her shoulder, his breath as gentle as orchid fragrance. "No doctor is needed. My illness is particular about who treats it. You just need to touch me more."
Zhu Ning asked, "Then you really won't feel uncomfortable?"
He whispered, "If I do feel uncomfortable, it might be because you're not touching me seriously."
Zhu Ning retorted, "Nonsense."
With such a beautiful sight in front of her, what reason did she have not to be serious?
Chi Wannian let out a soft laugh and hooked his finger around her long, falling hair. "Actually, I haven't been resting well lately."
Zhu Ning's attention was all on his abs. "What's wrong?"
Leaning against her, Chi Wannian still hooked his slender finger around that lock of her hair. "I don't know either. I just feel so scared. I lie in bed tossing and turning and can't fall asleep. I wanted to send you a message several times, but I was afraid of disturbing you, so I kept holding it back."
"Really...?"
"Yes." Zhu Ning's black hair curled around his fair fingertips. "I actually really wanted you to come and accompany me, but I was too embarrassed to say it."
"If you're so embarrassed, then I'll come and accompany you."
A deep male voice came, and the lock of hair in Chi Wannian's hand was snatched away.
Zhu Ning only felt a hand hook around her shoulder, and the next moment she was leaning against a strong chest.
She looked up and met Pei Jin's cold and sharp jawline. He lowered his eyes, his ink - black eyes showing little emotion.
Zhu Ning's hand trembled, and she quickly withdrew the hand that was on Chi Wannian's chest.
It was so indecent.
Chi Wannian's eyes suddenly turned cold, and an invisible frost seemed to surround him.
The gloom in his eyes condensed, and his thin lips twitched. "Why isn't Mr. Pei sleeping at this late hour?"
Pei Jin's gaze was heavy. When it landed on someone, it brought an invisible pressure.
He put his arm around Zhu Ning's shoulder and said calmly, "Just like Mr. Chi, I can't sleep."
Chi Wannian sneered with his thin lips. "It seems there are quite a few people who can't sleep tonight."
Pei Jin retorted, "What? Is insomnia someone's exclusive privilege?"
Looking at Chi Wannian, he said, "I just heard that Mr. Chi's chest hurts again. It seems we should have Old Lin come again earlier."
Chi Wannian's face darkened.
Meanwhile, Xu Liunian waited and waited in his room but no one came. So he went out to look for them and saw Zhu Ning being intercepted by the two men.
Seeing her shoulder being held by Pei Jin, he was instantly so angry that his nose almost crooked.
He knew where his "duck" had gone!
He quickly stepped forward and pulled Zhu Ning out of Pei Jin's arms, his anger barely concealed. "You two don't sleep at night. Are you having a meeting here?"
When Pei Jin and Chi Wannian saw what Xu Liunian was wearing, their expressions changed in unison.
Then their gazes all turned to Zhu Ning.
How could you go to see him dressed like that?!
Two pairs of oppressive gazes shot at her, making Zhu Ning's scalp tingle.
Her face blushed a little. "Liu, Liunian, why did you come out dressed like this?"
Only then did Xu Liunian remember that he was standing in front of these two men in such an outfit. His face immediately turned red and then black.
If they hadn't intercepted Zhu Ning, she would have seen it with her own eyes!
Xu Liunian explained, "You know I graduated from the dance department. I was just practicing dance, and I forgot to change when I came out."
Pei Jin immediately looked cold.
He knew what this guy was up to behind closed doors at night.
So he was trying to seduce her!
Shameless!
"Really, haha."
Zhu Ning forced out a couple of dry laughs, but no one responded.
She was so embarrassed that she felt like her toes were curling. Feeling guilty, she quickly slipped away.
"Oops, it's getting late. Everyone should go to bed early. Bye, bye."
She closed the door, deciding that what happened outside had nothing to do with her anymore.
The remaining three men looked at each other with disgust.
Xu Liunian gritted his teeth. "You two really have good skills."
He was so close to getting Zhu Ning, but they had ruined his plans.
It seemed that next time he should just send her a video right outside her door.
No, he should just set up his "battlefield" in her room!
Chi Wannian sneered at Xu Liunian. "Young Master Xu's skills are also quite remarkable. Not sleeping at night and even looking for an audience for your dancing. It's getting late and cold. You'd better go back to your room and rest quickly, or you'll catch a cold! Also, Mr. Pei,"
Chi Wannian said coldly, "Don't always think about finding doctors for others. You should also get yourself checked if you have the chance."
This guy had ruined his good deeds several times. If it weren't for Zhu Ning, he would have already lost his temper.
Pei Jin's eyes were cold. "I'm in good health. No need for Mr. Chi to worry. But Mr. Chi always seems to have one illness or another. I advise you to be hospitalized for observation earlier. You might also want to check your cranial nerves. Considering how you always lean on others, there might be a possibility of incomplete cerebellar development."
The atmosphere among the three men dropped to freezing point.
Lin Wan watched from downstairs and clicked her tongue.
Lin Wan said, "Three men really do make a show."
She turned to the younger sister and said with a smile, "If Chi and Xu were a bit more proactive, there might be a wedding banquet at home soon."
The younger sister held back her annoyance and walked upstairs. The other three men went their separate ways.
Seeing her coming, Pei Jin stood still and waited for her to speak.
The younger sister said faintly, "Can't you learn from them?"
Pei Jin: …
"I'm not that type."
The younger sister scoffed. "Didn't you wear a tight - fitting suit in the gym?"
Pei Jin turned his head uncomfortably.
The younger sister said, "If you know what type she likes, just work on that."
Pei Jin replied, "She's just a lustful person."
The younger sister retorted, "Don't you have good looks?"
Pei Jin gave her a deep look. The younger sister had said all she wanted to say, then she snorted and turned away, disappearing with her "merits and fame" hidden.
Zhu Ning returned to her room and rolled around on the bed.
"Ah —— Ah ——"
Lust is like a knife hanging over one's head!
She swore to the sky, "From now on, I'll turn over a new leaf, be an honest person, and never be tempted by good looks again."
Just then, her phone rang.
Pei Jin: Is it convenient for you to come over?
Xiaoning: What's wrong?
It took Pei Jin two seconds before sending another message: I seem to have a muscle strain. I'd like you to help me apply some medicine.
She replied yes, then put on her shoes, got out of bed, went out, and knocked on the door. After hearing Pei Jin's response, she pushed the door open.
Pei Jin's voice came from inside the suite. "There's some medicinal lotion on the cabinet."
Zhu Ning looked around and saw the red medicinal lotion quietly sitting on the counter. "I see it."
"Okay, just come in."
Zhu Ning then took the medicinal lotion and walked into the room. The door was half - closed. She pushed it open and saw Pei Jin sitting on the edge of the bed. When he saw her, a look of uneasiness flashed across his face. "You're here?"
Zhu Ning nodded.
Pei Jin then stood up and walked towards Zhu Ning. He took her hand and showed her the position in the mirror.
"The area below the shoulder blade."
Zhu Ning placed her palm on his back.
"Okay..."
Pei Jin slowly undid the buttons of his shirt, revealing his strong chest and mountain - like back.
His long eyelashes drooped.
"Thank you for your trouble."
