Chapter 230 Thats Life (1/2)
Tang Yuanchu's arm trembled, and he looked at her as though he had seen a ghost.
Xie Wanwan laid her head on his shoulder, chuckling softly. She had totally no idea how unsettling her words had sounded to him. She asked in a feathery voice, ”Are you scared?”
Tang Yuanchu was finding it hard to swallow and replied in a throaty voice. ”I'm not interested in a drunkard.”
That teasing laugh, accompanied by her soft, feathery voice, was as though a snake hissing, tearing through Tang Yuanchu's weakened nerves. ”If I'm not drunk… how will you get a chance?”
”…”
Tang Yuanchu's chest was heaving up and down.
Only a thin layer of clothing separated the two of them. The heat generated from the friction turned into an electric current, spreading all over his body. It felt as though all his pores had opened up and clamoring in desire…
The woman in front of him looked as if she turned into a siren.
Her gaze was dreamy and alluring, and her arms that wrapped around him was so soft and smooth.
He found it difficult to breathe properly; his eyes were red and were unable to utter a single word.
”Are you shy?” Xie Wanwan's tone was low and soft as she continued to chuckle teasingly. ”Don't be afraid, I can teach you…”
”Do you do this often?” Tang Yuanchu gulped.
”Huh?” Apparently, Xie Wanwan didn't understand his question.
Tang Yuanchu took a deep breath. ”As in often messing around with men like this?”
Xie Wanwan winked a little provocatively at him. ”Nope… I hate men touching me.”
Tang Yuanchu sneered. ”You don't look like you hate it at all.”
Xie Wanwan pondered for a while. ”You can give it a try… and I'll know if I hate it.”
In actual fact, she had no idea why she held that kind of thought as she muttered those words.
It had been a long time or rather, she had never said such words before.
At this moment, the cold and humid door that had been shut close, stashed away at the bottom of her heart opened. There was an eagerness for someone to enter and enrich her…
The man right in front of her was like a burning torch, his body as hard as steel. His muscles were thick and so sexy that it made her quiver. His youthful face was bright and full of sunshine, very much the likeness of her youth that she had lost in those dark days…
It was an indescribable feeling.
The feeling of being alive.
These feelings made her desperate for a man.
”Tang Monk… let this demoness eat you up…” She seemed to be elated after getting these words out of her. However, every word she said weighed down heavily on him, caught by her alluring aura, unable to free himself.
”Why?” Tang Yuanchu's throat was so dry as though it would emit smoke, his body was burning and quivering under the touch of her fingers. He was unwilling to give in like this, though.
He did not want to be the relief machine of her desires. Who knows… she might forget everything the next day.
”Because…” Xie Wanwan drew in closer, where her lips kissed his neck. ”If this demoness ate the meat of Tang Monk… she can gain longevity…”
”… I'm not Tang Monk.”
”You are.”
Xie Wanwan wrapped her hands around his neck and started to unbutton his shirt.
Her hand slipped in through the widened collar and her finger drew circles on his chest muscle.
”Just give it a try. It's not difficult.”
”Xie Wanwan,” Tang Yuanchu was gritting his teeth. ”I'm not your little white mouse…”
”… This demoness doesn't eat little white mouses, only Tang Monk's meat.”
”Don't feign ignorance!”
”Alright, I won't be like this next time… I'll drink lesser… we'll be able to enjoy it more…”
”Do you really know what you are doing?”
Tang Yuanchu grabbed her hand and howled at her.
Smooch! As he had caught her hands, she gave a kiss on his cheek instead. ”I know, I do know.”
All the bottled up anger within Tang Yuanchu went up in vapor with that kiss.
Tang Yuanchu was gasping as he looked at the face drawing close. He could feel a rush of adrenaline in his brain. Small beads of perspiration started to appear on his forehead…
”Xie Wanwan!”
”One's not enough. Here's another.”
Smooch! Smooch…
”Hehe, your face's red…”
She started giggling again as she pointed at him.
”And… you… seem to have some reaction…”
Cough! Cough! It was too much for Tang Yuanchu to take. He swiftly caught her misbehaving hands once again.
His pair of burning eyes glared at her, meeting her gaze as if he wanted to see through her thoughts.
In her eyes, there was intoxication. He found neither affection nor love in her eyes, not even any other emotion.
She was so near and yet so far away.
”You're a lunatic!”
Tang Yuanchu closed his eyes, removed his jacket, and wrapped it around Xie Wanwan's body tightly before fastening the seat belt.
”Sit tight, I'll send you back. Try anything funny again and I'll throw you out of the car!”
The word 'throw' seemed to have some impact on Xie Wanwan as she seemed to be a little clear-headed when she heard it.
She tilted her head and squinted her eyes to observe him without saying a word for a long while.
Tang Yuanchu focused his sight on the road, not wanting to give her even a glance.
He was afraid if he took another look at her, all the self-control he could gather would crumble to nothingness.
As the night got darker, the street lights of Jin City looked exceptionally beautiful.
Tang Yuanchu was driving Xie Wanwan's car as he traveled down the road in the bustling city where he suddenly thought about the charming Xie Wanwan in glamorous dresses he saw on the mass media.
”Xie Wanwan, are you actually depressed?”
There was no reply.
Tang Yuanchu turned his head slowly for a glimpse.
At this moment, Xie Wanwan had already fallen asleep on the seat.
Sigh! Tang Yuanchu shook his head.
She would most probably forget about this incident when she woke up the next morning.
…
On the next day, Xiang Wan met Tang Yuanchu at the pantry.
The water dispenser had already filled up his cup and was overflowing, yet he seemed oblivious to it.
He seemed lost in thought, and there was a faraway look on his eyes. He was not sure what was going through his head at that point.
Xiang Wan looked at him for a moment before walking over and pat on his shoulder gently.
”Hey!”
Tang Yuanchu was startled.
He let out a sigh of relief when he saw it was Xiang Wan.
”Oh, it's you, Teacher Xiang.”
”Why? Do I look like a ghost to you?”
”Nah, not at all.” Tang Yuanchu started to work on cleaning the spilled water. ”I was just thinking about something—”
Xiang Wan noticed he was avoiding her eyes and raised an eyebrow. ”You went after Xie Wanwan yesterday, right?”
Tang Yuanchu fell silent.
Xiang Wan eyed him up and down a few times before she chuckled meaningfully.
”Detective Tang, don't tell me you've really fallen for her?”
”What? Nothing of this sort. How's that possible? We are people from two different worlds…” Tang Yuanchu blushed and avoided eye contact. ”She owed me the cigarette money that night. I only asked her to pay me back.”
”Hur!” Xiang Wan laughed even louder. ”But your behavior tells me otherwise.”
