YPSSS Chapter 41

The private room had a large, wide sofa.

Xia Shiruan was cornered at its innermost corner, where Xie Ji pinned him down and kissed him for a long time.

At first, Xia Shiruan thought he couldn’t move because Xie Ji was gripping his hands too tightly, but later he realized that even after Xie Ji loosened his hold, he still seemed to have no strength left.

Xie Ji started by sucking and licking his lips, which later turned into gentle nibbles. He seemed unable to control his force while biting, making Xia Shiruan unable to hold back his soft whimpers.

When Xie Ji heard these sounds, he would immediately stop to tease him, pecking his lips while demanding “What are you moaning for?” Then Xia Shiruan would fall silent, keeping his mouth tightly shut, only to have Xie Ji forcefully pry it open again.

Due to their arousal, the Alpha’s pheromone concentration during the kiss was almost triple its usual level.

Xie Ji’s scent had always been hard for Xia Shiruan to ignore. Now, he felt increasingly enveloped by sweetness. The air was sweet, Xie Ji’s breath was sweet, even his tongue tasted sweet.

The scent seemed bewitching, making him unconsciously close his eyes in fascination. Even when bitten, he no longer felt pain. Instead, he learned to clumsily but earnestly extend his tongue in response.

One of Xia Shiruan’s shoes had already fallen off during the earlier dragging and struggling. Now only one foot remained in its white cotton sock, dangling lonely over the edge of the sofa. When the kissing grew intense, he couldn’t help but wiggle it, repeatedly kicking Xie Ji’s waist.

After being kicked too many times, Xie Ji finally grew impatient and grabbed his foot, gripping and pushing it forward. This position of complete control frightened Xia Shiruan, making him struggle. Xie Ji clicked his tongue, bit his lower lip, and straightened up with his hands braced on either side.

“You still haven’t answered me,” Xie Ji remembered his unfinished question and pulled back slightly. He looked down at Xia Shiruan’s face, which had grown even redder from lack of oxygen. “You were jealous just now, weren’t you?”

Although it was a question seeking Xia Shiruan’s answer, his tone couldn’t have been more certain.

Xia Shiruan didn’t want to respond, much less answer such an obvious question. He tried to cover his face with his arm but was caught again.

Xie Ji wouldn’t let him hide his face. One hand gripped his wrist while the other brushed back his bangs, fingers stroking his smooth forehead.

“You’re jealous but won’t admit it. You can’t even hide it well. Xia Shiruan, aren’t you just silly?” Xie Ji said to him.

This was the first time in Xia Shiruan’s life that anyone had called him silly.

Yet the person who said it didn’t seem to think there was anything wrong with saying that. In Xie Ji’s eyes, Xia Shiruan wasn’t the serious, reserved neighbor who only knew how to study, but rather a little fool who didn’t know how to express his feelings.

Xia Shiruan’s lips moved, his eyes darting up quickly. He instinctively wanted to argue, but the next second he fell into Xie Ji’s gaze and saw his own tiny reflection there, carefully held within, completely whole.

So Xia Shiruan fell silent again and lowered his eyes. He only let out a muffled sound from his throat that sounded like “mm.”

This sound seemed to give Xie Ji his chance, and he began confidently reviewing the evidence. “That day at the game, you were secretly watching me, weren’t you? And you chased away the person asking for my number. Just now you specifically asked if I played the game…”

As he spoke, he wanted to smile again. He stared at Xia Shiruan for a few seconds, then closed his eyes and kissed him again.

This time it was gentle and didn’t last too long, like rippling the surface of water, just a light taste.

“When I said I didn’t let him kiss me, I meant it. I wouldn’t let him kiss me,” Xie Ji caught his lip, breathing softly, his gentle breath brushing Xia Shiruan’s face, bringing another wave of tingles. “You haven’t even kissed me yet, how could I let someone else touch me?”

“Didn’t that just count as a kiss?” Xia Shiruan asked dazedly.

“No, it didn’t,” Xie Ji declared confidently. “You weren’t the one who initiated it.”

“…”

Xie Ji quickly added, “But you didn’t reject me, so I’m still very happy.”

Xie Ji’s eyes were deep black. As he said this, he tilted his head slightly with a smile while looking at his face, like a child who finally confirmed “this candy belongs to me.” His eyes were full of restrained but dancing satisfaction.

But Xia Shiruan spotted it immediately.

The burning sensation on his lips hadn’t faded yet. In matters like these that should have been far beyond his reach, Xia Shiruan was caught off guard and inexperienced, so he never learned to take initiative.

But now, his chest was swelling with something, desperately wanting to say something.

He felt like Xie Ji seemed to be waiting for the right answer all along.

He had waited for a long time, and when he couldn’t get it, he tried very hard to find it.

He successfully found countless pieces of strong evidence to support it, so even without a reference answer, Xie Ji knew what he thought was correct.

But suddenly, Xia Shiruan wanted so desperately to tell him personally, right now.

“…Yes,” Xia Shiruan said, his voice a bit hoarse. “I just… don’t want to.”

“I don’t want to see other Omegas getting close to you, and I don’t want to see others kissing you.”

The smile on Xie Ji’s face slowly froze, but because he had somewhat expected this, his eyes grew brighter. He looked at Xia Shiruan and asked, “Why?”

“Because I’m jealous,” Xia Shiruan said softly, admitting to all of Xie Ji’s previous accusations.

Xie Ji’s eyes suddenly widened.

Like love, the word jealousy was also far removed from Xia Shiruan. Even when Xie Ji used this word to describe him, he never expected Xia Shiruan to admit it himself.

It was like crouching under a tree watching a sheep, never expecting it wouldn’t try to hide at all, wasn’t scared at all, but instead rushed over and jumped right into his arms.

Only those who have experienced it know how exhilarating this feeling is.

Holding back his nearly chaotic breathing, Xie Ji pressed on, “Why are you jealous?”

“…” Xia Shiruan gave up on himself, no longer hesitating, and decided to confess everything. “Because I really like your scent, and I… really like you.”
