My Scheming Little Devil-Chapter 1779: An Awkward Situation
On the surface, he seemed lucky and glamorous, enjoying the greatest affection of the Councilman’s couple, with the most hope of succeeding the Councilman in the future. But behind the scenes, there were always those who wanted to bring him down or even kill him.
Apart from his adoptive parents, who else could truly care about him?
His adoptive parents treated him fairly well—not as good as their biological son, but still well—after all, he was just an adopted son, without any blood relation.
However, he always felt a sense of emptiness and confusion in his heart. He felt distanced from everyone; his heart couldn’t blend with theirs. Even if his relationship with his adoptive parents was good, he could never truly be intimately connected, always separated by a kind of spiritual estrangement.
That kind of inseparable familial bond, he could not feel it.
Did he ever have such deep feelings before? Ji Lingkong looked utterly confused, his chest heavy and aching.
That’s why he felt so lonely inside now, unable to find solace, as if he was pursuing something, wanting something to fill that missing void. Yet he had no idea what exactly he wanted.
Particularly after drinking, this feeling of confusion intensified, even breeding an unknown kind of pain.
Unconsciously, he thought of this girl and instinctively came to find her.
He didn’t know why, in moments of loneliness and pain, he would think of her. But leaning against her now, there was an unexpected sense of ease, warm and gentle, as if the hollow in his heart was being filled, little by little.
"Hey? What’s wrong with you?" Jun Yiyi asked hesitantly when he remained silent for a long time.
Did she say something wrong? Why was he suddenly not speaking, almost looking despondent, and she could even feel a faint sadness emanating from him.
But she had only said that as the Councilman’s son, many people would care about him—a few more or a few less wouldn’t make a difference.
"Are you feeling uncomfortable? Should I call a doctor for you?"
Jun Yiyi was indeed a bit worried about his strange condition.
"No need, just let me lean on you like this." Ji Lingkong slid down onto her chair.
Jun Yiyi was uncomfortably squeezed to the side, awkwardly shifting away: "Hehe... This chair is too small, isn’t it too crowded for two people? Why don’t you go to the sofa? There are cushions there, it’s more comfortable to lean on, as the cushions are softer."
To be honest, she wasn’t used to being leaned on by a man like this, especially by a quirky one, who after drinking emitted pheromones and was quite difficult to deal with.
What made her feel like she was sitting on pins and needles was, that after just taking a bath, she was casually wearing a spaghetti strap nightgown that exposed her fair shoulders. Her long hair was still damp, not completely dry, and she wasn’t even wearing undergarments underneath. How embarrassing! She thought no one would come, so it was more comfortable to sleep without them. Who would have guessed this man would barge in boldly?
Now she was unbearably embarrassed. If this embarrassing scene were discovered, it would be utterly shameful. So she kept instinctively covering her chest with her hands, hoping he would have some gentlemanly decency and leave quickly.
But this man was truly oblivious. Seeing her move away, he unhappily reached out and hugged her tightly, enveloping her in his arms, resting his head on her exposed shoulder, and closed his eyes comfortably, his tone carrying a hint of childishness.
"If we hug, it won’t be crowded. Yiyi is even softer than a cushion, I prefer it this way."
Jun Yiyi awkwardly shrank into his embrace.
