Chapter 254 What, you can’t bear to leave me?
After a while, Duan Yuchen's originally rapid breathing gradually became smooth, just like the sea returning to tranquility after a storm. He slowly loosened his arms that were tightly hugging her, and his eyes revealed a hint of tenderness and attachment.
"You go to bed first, I'll take a shower." Duan Yuchen said softly, his voice was low and magnetic. After that, he turned around and walked towards the bathroom with steady steps.
Qiao Jingyu leaned against the cold wall as if she had lost her support. Her heartbeat was still beating as hard as a drum, and the tingling sensation in her chest seemed to have not yet dissipated. A slight electric current spread throughout her body, making her legs weak and powerless, and she could not move for a long time.
In Qiao Jingyu's previous cognition, Duan Yuchen was always a lofty and arrogant existence. He was always so calm and composed, and his every move exuded an abstinence that made it difficult for people to approach him. However, in just one day, Duan Yuchen completely overturned the image she had in her mind.
At this moment, he would be extremely anxious because of worrying about her; he would lose control under the drive of emotion; he would hug her tightly and give her a warm hug; he would kiss her affectionately, making her intoxicated and unable to extricate herself; he would even not hide his strong and obvious desire for her...
But it is this Duan Yuchen who is no longer flawless and unattainable that makes Qiao Jingyu feel his warmth and sincerity. Now he is no longer the abstinent male god who seems to be out of touch with the world, but has become an ordinary person with joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness, and a caring boyfriend who is close at hand and can be touched.
This feeling is like a huge rock sinking into the heart, bringing a heavy sense of security, but at the same time, an invisible tension surges into the heart like a tide, making the heart beat faster, breathing faster, and even mixed with a trace of indescribable fear.
Qiao Jingyu was like a frightened little deer, having never had such close contact with a man before. Her heart was filled with throbbing and curiosity about unknown emotions, as well as fear and uneasiness about things she had never experienced.
At this time, Duan Yuchen came out of the bathroom after taking a shower. The steaming water vapor filled the air, as if covering him with a hazy veil. Qiao Jingyu still stood there blankly, her thoughts already drifting far away.
It was late at night, and everything was silent. It was so quiet that one could almost hear their own heartbeats. Even their subtle breathing was particularly clear and audible at this moment.
At this moment, Duan Yuchen slowly walked to Qiao Jingyu and gently held her hands. This sudden touch instantly spread throughout Qiao Jingyu's body like an electric current, causing her to suddenly come back to her senses.
"Why don't you go to bed yet?" Duan Yuchen's voice was as gentle as the warm spring breeze, lightly brushing past Qiao Jingyu's ears.
Qiao Jingyu raised her head and her eyes fell on the calm and elegant man in front of her. She saw a concerned light flashing in his deep eyes, and the thin lips under his tall nose slightly raised, outlining a charming smile. However, facing such a handsome man, Qiao Jingyu's heart beat faster. She subconsciously pursed her red lips that became slightly swollen due to shyness, and then said in a voice as thin as a mosquito: "I... I'd better go to the guest bedroom next door to sleep?"
Duan Yuchen knew very well that his behavior just now was indeed a bit rash and frightened her. They had just established a romantic relationship, and she needed some time. Thinking of this, Duan Yuchen couldn't help but feel guilty and secretly blamed himself for being so impatient.
"Okay, I'll take you there." Duan Yuchen gently took Qiao Jingyu's silky little hand and slowly walked towards the adjacent guest bedroom. The two of them were silent along the way, and only the faint, slow footsteps echoed quietly in the quiet night.
After finally reaching the door of the guest bedroom, Duan Yuchen stopped and gently loosened his grip on Qiao Jingyu's hand. Then he lowered his voice and said softly, "Rest early."
Just as Duan Yuchen was about to turn around and leave, Qiao Jingyu suddenly reached out and grabbed the corner of his clothes, and whispered, "Wait a moment."
Hearing this, Duan Yuchen turned around quickly. The corners of his lips slightly raised, outlining a faint smile, and he said in a slightly teasing tone: "Why? Can't bear to leave me?"
When did the third brother become so fond of teasing people? Qiao Jingyu glanced at him coquettishly, and her cheeks instantly turned red, like ripe apples, very cute and charming.
Qiao Jingyu quickly let go of Duan Yuchen's hand, lowered her head and whispered, "No, I just... I just have something to ask you."
"What's the matter?" Duan Yuchen leaned lazily against the door frame.
Qiao Jingyu leaned against the door frame on the other side, raised her hand and put her hair behind her ear, "Third brother, how did you know I was tasting lovesickness?"
"Dong Lei told me."
Qiao Jingyu frowned slightly. Didn’t she see Dong Lei while she was eating Acacia?
Qiao Jingyu suddenly remembered that when she was at the construction site in the morning, Dong Lei also suddenly appeared and stopped her from entering the construction site. He also said that if something happened to him, he would not be able to explain to Duan Yuchen.
At that time, she was startled by Duan Yuchen's kiss and didn't have time to think about it.
Is it...
"Did you arrange for Brother Dong to protect me in secret?"
"Yeah!" Duan Yuchen did not deny it.
Qiao Jingyu suddenly thought of the farce that Sun Yuan had in the class before. She remembered that Sun Yuan said at the time that Yang Xinxin had instructed her to kidnap him, but failed in the end, so Yang Xinxin was so angry that she asked her father to cut off all business dealings with Sun Yuan's father.
Qiao Jingyu was very confused at the time. When did Sun Yuan find someone to kidnap her?
At this moment, a bold idea suddenly flashed through Qiao Jingyu's mind, "Did you send Brother Dong to protect me in secret a long time ago?"
"Ah."
"When did it start?"
Duan Yuchen pondered for a few seconds, "It started when you went to Haicheng to participate in the architectural design competition. That night you came back to the hotel alone from my place, and I was worried, so I asked Dong Lei to secretly send you back. I didn't expect that someone wanted to harm you, so I asked Dong Lei to protect you in secret since then."
it is as expected.
A warm feeling passed through Qiao Jingyu's heart. She was surprised, but more touched. If it started from that time, then Dong Lei's sudden appearance in the bar to save her and Mu Xuefei was not a coincidence.
Qiao Jingyu raised her eyes and saw Duan Yuchen leaning against the door frame, facing the light. His deep and three-dimensional facial features were shrouded in shadows. His navy blue pajamas wrapped around his muscular body. He looked lazy and casual, yet exuded a strong sense of security.
