What did he mean by this?? He had feelings for her!!
Seeing that Gu Yicheng was no longer hiding anything and had suddenly become so direct, saying something that was practically a confession, Ruan Ning froze on the spot. Her hand almost failed to hold the cup properly, nearly dropping and shattering it.
Ruan Ning pressed her lips together, her expression flustered. She felt as though even her voice was trembling as she tried to explain, “Brother, w-what are you saying? We’re siblings…”
Seeing her little face instantly turn pale and panicked, Gu Yicheng could not help letting out a soft laugh. He naturally and casually reached out, tucking the loose strands of hair by her ear behind it. His voice was low. “Ningning, you seem to have forgotten one thing. We are not biological siblings. We’re not related by blood at all.”
Ruan Ning stared blankly at him with her watery almond eyes as he approached her. She stood frozen in place, not daring to move. Her voice grew smaller and smaller. “Anyway, I’ve always treated you like my real older brother.”
“Even without a blood relationship, it’s the same,” she thought for a moment, then deliberately added.
Gu Yicheng looked at her deliberately serious expression, the smile in his eyes deepening. In a low voice, he said, “But I don’t want you to be my younger sister anymore. I don’t want it now, and I’ll want it even less in the future.”
Brother, you can’t just ignore the script like this!
Ruan Ning wanted to cry but had no tears. Faced with this sudden situation, she was completely flustered and had no idea what to do.
He had already laid everything out completely. How exactly was she supposed to make him give up on this idea? She had no clue and no preparation at all.
Ruan Ning opened her mouth and tried dryly to pull the topic back. “Brother, you will always be…” my brother.
Before Ruan Ning could say the last few words of the sentence, she was suddenly pulled forward, interrupting what she had been about to say. Her nose even bumped into a firm chest. Luckily, she had already drunk a few mouthfuls of the milk in the cup earlier, otherwise it would have spilled.
Gu Yicheng pulled her into his arms.
The faint scent of shower gel on the girl’s body drifted into his nose. It seemed to be… strawberry.
Gu Yicheng lowered his head slightly. Under the light, his gaze fell on her porcelain-white face. Because she had just bathed, there was still a faint blush on both sides of her cheeks.
She raised her eyes to look at him. Her watery eyes were like a clear spring, reflecting his figure.
His gaze moved downward. Her lips were bright red and moist. Seeing this, Gu Yicheng’s eyes darkened slightly. He stretched out his long, distinct fingers and rubbed around her soft lips, his movements focused and serious.
Gu Yicheng’s somewhat ambiguous action made Ruan Ning’s breathing tighten. She felt that this was far too inappropriate and wanted to push him away, but the hand that was not holding the cup loosened as if shocked by electricity just as it was about to touch his hot chest.
This was simply a dilemma!
Heavens! Couldn’t they give her a way out? The current scene was testing her self-control too much.
Ruan Ning fell silent for a moment. Seeing that he also remained silent, she was just wondering whether she should say something to ease the embarrassment that was about to overflow in the air when she saw Gu Yicheng’s face getting closer and closer. It was as though their breaths had intertwined.
His features were deep-set, and his eyes were like those of a beast walking through the forest, revealing his determination to seize his prey.
Ruan Ning panicked, not knowing where to look. She wanted to retreat, only to discover that at some point, she had already been forced into a corner.
She simply lowered her head, trying to avoid his naked and aggressive gaze.
Gu Yicheng immediately noticed that she was deliberately avoiding him again, unwilling to respond. His eyes narrowed. He lifted her chin, pressed his large hand against the back of the girl’s head, bent down, and kissed her. Their lips touched.
A cool sensation came from her lips. Ruan Ning widened her almond eyes, disbelief filling them.
She had thought… he would be like yesterday and would not actually do it for real.
Before she could think any further, the other person pushed forward directly, wrapping his arm around her slender waist.
However, he only touched her lightly on the lips. It was a brief taste at the edges, stopping almost immediately. Even the hand around her waist did not do anything inappropriate. He quickly restrained himself and let go of the girl in front of him.
…Wait a few more months. She was not an adult yet.
This was the first time in Ruan Ning’s life that a man had forcibly kissed her. She had never been in a relationship and had no experience at all. Under his attack, she almost could not breathe. Her body was so stiff that she did not dare move at all, and she even forgot to push him away.
Now, the distance between them had already been deliberately widened by the man, but Ruan Ning was still dazed, her expression saying: Who am I? Where am I? What did I just experience? It took her quite a while to recover.
For some reason, her heartbeat had suddenly sped up just now. This time, even Ruan Ning herself could not tell whether it was nervousness or something else. She only felt that her heart was beating even faster than the last time.
What was wrong with her?
“You, you, you… I, I, I… the two of us…” Because she had been too frightened, Ruan Ning even began stammering when speaking to Gu Yicheng. She could not form a complete sentence for a long time. Of course, she also did not know what to say.
“Ningning, good night. See you tomorrow.” Gu Yicheng looked at her panicked appearance, his heart softening. He licked his lips and let her go. Although he was still somewhat unsatisfied this time, he did not want to do anything else to provoke her today. Otherwise, he might truly frighten this little thing badly.
Ruan Ning watched helplessly as Gu Yicheng wiped his mouth clean after taking advantage of her, and after doing such a thing, still acted completely calm and composed, as if nothing had happened. For some reason, she felt even angrier!
…
Only after Gu Yicheng left did Ruan Ning finally escape from that suffocating atmosphere. The first thing she did was quickly turn around and close the door.
She blinked, leaned her whole body against the door, and touched her chest. Sure enough, her heart was beating especially fast. It was almost comparable to the speed of her heartbeat back when she had been scratched by a zombie in S City.
Ahhhhhh!
What on earth had she done tonight?
Ruan Ning wished she could go back to the past and wake up the version of herself who had opened the door for Gu Yicheng. Why had her hand been so cheap as to open it? Wouldn’t it have been better to pretend she was tired, wanted to rest, and had already gone to sleep?!
**
The next day.
When Ruan Ning woke up, the area beneath her eyes was dark and bruised-looking. Against her fair, jade-like skin, it was especially obvious, making her look as though someone had punched her twice.
Last night, she had tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep no matter what. She vaguely remembered that in the end, it seemed she had stayed awake until the sky was almost bright before barely feeling a little sleepy. Only then had she forced herself to fall asleep.
“Sister Ruan Ning, did you secretly sneak out behind our backs to kill zombies last night? How come not only did you wake up late today, but you also made yourself look so haggard?”
When Lin Yang went to the dining room for breakfast, he happened to run into Ruan Ning, who had just come downstairs. In his mind, Ruan Ning had always been a beautiful and energetic little beauty, but today she looked extremely worn out.
“I just had insomnia last night. After breakfast, I’ll go sleep again and catch up on rest.”
Ruan Ning also knew how terrible her complexion looked right now, so she did not blame Lin Yang for being so surprised. After all, when she had washed up earlier, she had already looked in the mirror. The dark circles on the person in the mirror had successfully frightened even herself.
Ruan Ning took a bite of breakfast, biting her bright red lips. Out of the corner of her eye, she glanced at Gu Yicheng, who was sitting not far from the dining table reading a book. She really wanted to glare at him fiercely right now, then accuse him in front of everyone of his beastly behaviour last night.
As a captain deeply loved by his team members, he had actually lost his conscience and made a move on his underage younger sister!! He was simply too beastly!!
But Ruan Ning did not act impulsively. In the end, she still suppressed the thought in her heart. Even if this man did not care about saving face, she, as a girl, still wanted some dignity. If the others in the team found out, how would she continue staying in the team in the future?
Gu Yicheng sat at the side and flipped through two pages of his book. After Lin Yang and Ruan Ning had almost finished chatting, he handed a cup of fruit juice to Ruan Ning from his spot at the table.
Now, aside from wood-type ability users who could ripen the seeds of various vegetables and fruits, fresh fruit could basically no longer be seen elsewhere. The fruit used to make the juice had been stored in his space before the apocalypse. It had remained fresh inside the space all this time.
Compared with the girl’s indignation, Gu Yicheng was in an especially good mood today. His narrow eyes, brows, and the corners of his eyes all carried a hint of a smile.
Ruan Ning had just been about to refuse the juice he handed over, preferring to go to the kitchen and squeeze some herself, when she changed her mind. A free service should not be wasted. It could count as compensation for the injury her fragile little heart had suffered yesterday. After all, the reason she had become this listless today was entirely the fault of the person in front of her!! So why should she still eagerly go and do the work herself?
As if she were sulking with the person beside her, Ruan Ning drank the entire cup of juice in one breath.
Lin Yang said, “Sister Ruan Ning, we’re planning to go to Yancheng Base’s market this afternoon. Do you want to come with us?”
Ruan Ning shook her head. If it were any other time, she definitely would have been willing to go, but right now, she was very sleepy. She only wanted to sleep until she naturally woke up and had no interest in visiting the market. “Forget it, I won’t go. I’ll stay in the villa and sleep.”
Lin Yang sounded a little regretful. “You’re not going either, and Brother Gu isn’t going. Looks like this afternoon, only the two of you will be staying in the villa.”
Hearing this, Ruan Ning’s movements paused. She quickly said, “Since Brother isn’t going, then I’ll go with you.”
She never wanted to stay alone in the same space as this refined scoundrel again.
Previously, Ruan Ning had been worried that this person really had taken a liking to her. Now whether he had taken a liking to her or not was no longer important. She felt that she should start worrying about her chastity.
At first, it was only a forced kiss. Who knew whether later it would develop into some censored scene? QAQ.
This body of hers was still underage.
If she wanted to stop Gu Yicheng from walking further and further down the path of crime, she had to start from the source.
Firmly refuse to give the two of them any chance to be alone together.
