Chapter 1744: Younger Generation Extra (18): Beer, Kabedon, Leaving Marks on the Heart_2
"Do you know me now?" He leaned down to speak, the warmth of his breath mixed with a faint hint of beer...
Rich and intoxicating.
"I..." She lowered her head, not daring to look at him.
"Saw me earlier, wishing you could burrow under the table, do you really not want to see me? Don’t want anyone to know about our relationship?" Maybe it was the alcohol, his voice was much deeper than usual, and his breath...
Was even hotter.
Due to their height difference, his scorching breath was blowing directly against her forehead, brushing over her hair, making her scalp tremble with a tingling sensation.
Our... relationship?
Jiang Ruan felt a bit dizzy; between them, was there any relationship?
"I didn’t." Jiang Ruan didn’t know why she had her head hung low at that time, wishing she could hide herself.
"Didn’t?" His voice seemed to carry a hint of laughter, "Now that it’s just us, you still refuse to look at me?"
Jiang Ruan kept wringing the hand towel in her hands, steeling herself, she raised her head to look at him...
In the flickering light, amidst the dimness, his sharp features seemed to be softened considerably, only the light in his eyes seemed to have turned into blazing flames, intending to burn into her heart.
Then... leave a mark.
"The guy who came with you tonight..." Yan Chi, although he didn’t inherit everything from his father, shared a directness with him.
Whether he’s a boyfriend, what the relationship is, he wanted to ask clearly.
Jiang Ruan had told him before that she didn’t have a boyfriend.
So he wanted to ask directly, he didn’t want to guess.
"He’s a friend of mine, visiting from out of town for fun." Jiang Ruan felt the distance between them had reached an unbelievable closeness.
In reality, they weren’t even touching bodies; she could totally run away, but this seemingly close proximity...
Seemed to trap her invisibly.
She felt like her whole consciousness was floating outside, only leaving the most basic sensation...
Which was a rapid heartbeat.
His breath was hot, heating her face to a blush.
"He’s not your boyfriend?" Yan Chi seemed quite satisfied with this, even his voice softened.
"How could he be my boyfriend? I don’t have a partner."
"Really?"
His voice lingered with a drawn-out note, carrying a joyful hook that lightly scratched her heart.
It didn’t hurt; instead, it was like the warmest breeze blowing in February...
Stirring her heart with tremors.
Her fingers continuously tightened around the already misshapen hand towel, her heart trembling with indescribable palpitations, as if it was about to steal her breath, take her life.
"He’s just someone I’ve known since childhood..." Jiang Ruan wanted to say something, to ease the suffocating tension in her heart.
Yet Yan Chi suddenly bent down, their eyes leveled in an instant, with their already close distance now...
Pulled even closer.
So close their breaths tangled, his presence too aggressive, as if he wanted to enter the depths of her heart, invade like conquering a territory.
The breath was hot, the soda scent sweet, the beer lightly intoxicating, and he...
Was alluring.
"He’s not your boyfriend—that’s great." He spoke in a low voice, then laughed and said, "We’re the same, I don’t have a girlfriend either."
Such close proximity, yet speaking such tantalizingly ambiguous words...
In the corridor there was no wind, as if it trapped the summer heat, making Jiang Ruan feel all hot and bothered.
Yan Chi, however, slightly stepped back, lowering his head to look at the hand towel in her hands, reaching out.
"Does this hand towel have a grudge against you? Why are you torturing it to this state?"
Jiang Ruan looked down; the hand towel was no longer what it once was, tortured into scraps, just as she was about to ball it up and throw it away, Yan Chi reached out and gently held her...
His palm covered the back of her hand, warm.
Took the hand towel from her palm, "The quality of this paper towel is quite good, for you to torture it like this and it still hasn’t shed much."
Jiang Ruan responded with a muffled "mm."
"You should go out, or your friend will start worrying."
As his words fell, Jiang Ruan felt a pair of hands fall on her hair top, gently rubbing...
His palm was very warm, just gently rubbing so.
But it seemed to cause folds within her heart.
Jiang Ruan almost fled in haste, while Yan Chi watched her retreating back and laughed softly.
Why does she always run away so quickly.
He just needed to know what her relationship with that Qi Lie was, whether they grew up together or went through something together, that wasn’t important to him.

Qi Lie was sipping a small glass of Litchi Wine, and seeing someone return, face flushed as if feverish, smiled and asked:
