Tiny Genius Alert! Mom & Dad Better Make Peace-Chapter 462 - 433: Jun, Why Am I in the Hospital? (Part 3)
Does she really say things as outrageous as he claims?
Jian Liangtong took a deep breath, looking innocently at Huo Shaojun with her doe eyes, "What did you tell me?"
Huo Shaojun frowned slightly, staring at her without speaking.
Jian Liangtong’s lips trembled as she softly said, "I wasn’t thinking about anything. Just..."
"Just what?" Huo Shaojun squinted his eyes slightly.
Jian Liangtong glanced at him, took another deep breath, and then said, "It feels unreal."
Huo Shaojun’s long eyelashes lowered, and he calmly asked, "What feels unreal?"
Jian Liangtong blinked and slowly looked at him, "Our current relationship makes me feel unreal."
Jian Liangtong frowned, looking worriedly at Huo Shaojun, "Am I dreaming?"
Huo Shaojun stared at her, then suddenly smiled gently, his large hand tenderly smoothing out the frown on Jian Liangtong’s forehead, sighed softly, "Silly."
Jian Liangtong’s face heated up, feeling embarrassed, quickly lowering her head, softly parting her lips with a gentle breath.
As usual, the two returned to the apartment one after the other.
After more than two months, coming here again, their feelings had changed a lot.
Jian Liangtong sat on the sofa, inevitably feeling awkward and restrained, her posture ladylike but unlike herself.
Huo Shaojun came over with some spring water from the fridge, seeing Jian Liangtong sitting there so primly, he couldn’t help but curl his lips, "You sure didn’t sit like this the first two times you came here."
Saying that, Huo Shaojun unscrewed the bottle cap and handed the water to Jian Liangtong.
Maybe it was because their relationship was different now, but when Jian Liangtong looked at the water he handed her, she found him considerate and meticulous, blushed as she took the water, and sipped it lightly, not drinking more.
Huo Shaojun held back a laugh, sat beside her, draping one long arm over the back of the sofa behind her, squinting from the side to look at her teasingly, his lips curved, "Alright, stop pretending, I know what you’re like better than you do."
Jian Liangtong tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, speaking softly, "How long have we known each other? How could you know me better than I know myself? Actually, how I am now is the real me."
"..." There was a hidden smile in Huo Shaojun’s cold eyes, "How many people have seen this real you?"
Jian Liangtong shot him a glance, pouting playfully, "Not just anyone can see it casually."
"So, am I an exception then?"
Huo Shaojun maintained a serious face, "Should I feel honored, or honored?"
Jian Liangtong shyly bit her lip like a little girl, tilting her head, her almond-shaped eyes sparkling as she stared at him, her voice coming out with a soft smile, "Of course, you should feel honored." Isn’t it exhausting pretending like this?
Huo Shaojun ended up being amused by her, a laugh escaping his lips, as he habitually opened his large palm to gently rub her head, his stern face suddenly appearing soft and clear.
Listening to his deep, pleasant laughter and watching his bright smile, Jian Liangtong couldn’t help but grin too, gazing at him in a daze.
Huo Shaojun reached out to pinch her chin with his other hand, still smiling, pinching for a while before leaning down to kiss her.
He really liked kissing her!
Huo Shaojun’s cold eyes held a depth of understanding; even though he knew he was being too forceful, he couldn’t help himself; he just wanted to tease her like this!
Jian Liangtong didn’t know how she ended up in the bedroom or on the bed.
Her whole body was dizzy, everything in her mind turning into fluffy clouds she couldn’t grasp, nor did she care to.
When they both met face to face naked, Jian Liangtong wasn’t unaware of what would happen next, but it was as if her consciousness was hijacked, she couldn’t feel anything aside from the man performing the most intimate act between opposites in front of her.
Huo Shaojun looked into her dreamy eyes, knowing that whatever he did now, she wouldn’t oppose, but he wanted to hear her say she was willing.
At the last moment, Huo Shaojun forced himself to stop, his eyes red with restraint as he stared at Jian Liangtong, his voice hoarse as he asked, "Is it okay?"
Is it okay?
That question resounded like an alarm bell in Jian Liangtong’s ear, suddenly bringing back her wandering consciousness.
Jian Liangtong’s confused almond eyes regained a hint of clarity, but her suddenly pale face in Huo Shaojun’s eyes was akin to rejection and reluctance.
A self-mocking smile flashed at the corner of Huo Shaojun’s mouth, he tightly closed his eyes, covered in sweat, and left Jian Liangtong’s body, got off the bed without bothering to cover himself up, and walked naked toward the bathroom.
Jian Liangtong watched his tall back, the heat surrounding her cooling down gradually.
Huo Shaojun stayed in the shower room under cold water for a full hour.
When he came out of the bathroom, his eyes were drawn to the now-empty bed, and he felt an empty space in his heart.
Huo Shaojun’s face suddenly turned cold, striding towards the bedroom door.
His swift steps came to an abrupt halt when he saw the small woman sitting curled up on the living room sofa.
Huo Shaojun’s heart pounded violently, his jaw tautly drawn with harsh lines as he stared intensely at the small woman wrapped tightly in a thin blanket.
Jian Liangtong also looked at him, her gaze somewhat vacant.
Huo Shaojun clenched his fist, his deep voice tinged with somberness as he spoke, "Why did you come out?"
Jian Liangtong’s gaze flickered, glancing at the bedroom, "I came out to get some water."
"..." Huo Shaojun furrowed his brows deeply, burning her with his penetrating gaze.
Jian Liangtong hugged her knees tightly, biting her slightly pale lips, and asked, "Do you want to sit?"
Huo Shaojun’s fist tightened, he stared at her for a moment, then stepped forward.
Watching him sit beside her, Jian Liangtong lowered her eyelashes, slowly leaning her body against his shoulder.
Huo Shaojun’s eyes deepened, and he silently looked down at her.
Jian Liangtong leaned against him for a long time without saying a word.
In the end, it was Huo Shaojun who spoke first, "I was too impatient."
Jian Liangtong’s back stiffened slightly, and she lowered her eyes, "No, it seems it’s my problem."
Huo Shaojun paused, staring deeply at her.
Jian Liangtong moved away from his arm, sat up straight, and slowly shifted her gaze to his face, "You have noticed it too, right?"
"..."
Huo Shaojun didn’t speak, not because he didn’t know what to say, but because he was fully aware of her issues.
Jian Liangtong’s eyes reddened slightly, and her voice suddenly became hoarse, "I don’t even know why I’m like this? At first, with the way you treated me, I thought it was because you were forcing... but now I’ve realized it’s not. Even if you don’t force me, I still can’t... accept it."
Huo Shaojun looked at her reddened eyes, "Don’t overthink it, there’s nothing wrong with you. It’s because I was too impatient, and you weren’t ready yet."
Jian Liangtong frowned tightly at him and asked hoarsely, "Do you really think so?"
"Yes." Huo Shaojun looked directly into her eyes.
Jian Liangtong seriously stared into his eyes, as if to confirm the truth of his words.
Huo Shaojun narrowed his eyes slightly, reached out and wrapped her along with the blanket into his arms, rubbed her head a few times with his big hand, then pressed her head down and rested his chin on top of it, softly saying, "I’ll wait for you."
Jian Liangtong’s eyes suddenly became wet. She turned her face into his chest and said sulkily, "Thinking about it now, maybe I overthought things myself."
"Not maybe, silly." Huo Shaojun lowered his head and kissed the top of her hair.
Jian Liangtong lifted her head from his embrace, her eyes red like a rabbit’s, and foolishly asked, "Do you really think I’m silly?"
Huo Shaojun curled his lips, gazing at her tenderly, "Yes, really silly."
"..."
Jian Liangtong frowned, her red lips pouted slightly, and she hummed, "I don’t think I’m silly."
Huo Shaojun pinched her lips with his fingers, his eyes as soft as if honey could pour out and drown Jian Liangtong.
Jian Liangtong was startled, looking at him.
Huo Shaojun’s handsome face was tense, his cold eyes blazing with dark fire, and he hoarsely reprimanded, "Keep at it!"
Jian Liangtong looked into his heated, red eyes, not daring to make any more trouble, obediently lying in his embrace.
Huo Shaojun’s face was sullen as he refused to look at her, the dissatisfaction on his face couldn’t have been more obvious.
Fortunately, Jian Liangtong had some self-awareness, knowing that she had gone too far.
Seeing his cold, tense face, she maintained silence instinctively.
But as time passed by, instead of improving, his expression only grew darker.
Jian Liangtong watched, her heart pounding.
Suddenly, Huo Shaojun grabbed Jian Liangtong’s waist and forcefully lifted her from his embrace, placing her on the sofa, while he rose with a cold face and walked into the bedroom without looking back.
Jian Liangtong watched Huo Shaojun’s back enveloped in anger, her lips pursed, looking innocent.
Jian Liangtong intentionally sat in the living room for twenty minutes before getting up from the sofa, wrapped in a blanket, and walked toward the bedroom.
At the bedroom door, she saw Huo Shaojun standing by the bed with one hand in his pocket, his back to her, and the other hand holding a phone, talking.
Jian Liangtong was afraid to disturb him, so she entered almost silently.
Standing behind him, she heard him say, "Video? What video?"
Jian Liangtong’s heart trembled slightly at the harshness and coldness in his voice.
"I understand." Huo Shaojun hung up after speaking, paused for a few seconds, and then turned to look at Jian Liangtong.
Meeting his clear and cold eyes, Jian Liangtong swallowed slightly, thinking he hadn’t noticed her coming in.
"Let’s sleep." Huo Shaojun said softly, and then walked past Jian Liangtong out of the bedroom.
"..." Jian Liangtong was stunned, and when she came back to her senses and turned around, she saw the door completely shut with a bang, and he had already left the bedroom.
Jian Liangtong stood dazedly in place, her mind filled with that look he gave her before leaving, as stern as if gazing at an enemy!
For at least ten minutes, Jian Liangtong didn’t move.
Because she suddenly realized that she had overlooked a particularly crucial issue, a problem that stood between them.
He hates her!
But Jian Liangtong didn’t understand.
If he hated her, why did he propose making her his woman?
What did his occasional tenderness and softness towards her mean?
Was it all just her illusion?
Or was he just that good an actor?
The night grew deep, in the study.
"Go away, all of you go away..."
"No, ah, don’t touch me, little brother, little brother..."
"I beg you, I beg you, ah..."
"..."
The study was as dark as an eerie forest, with only the dim light from the computer screen reflecting on the man’s resolute face.
