SD Chapter 14: Intimacy

Previous | Table of Contents | Next

Tao Mingzhuo almost didn't recover at that time.

Because he knew early on that Jing Ci had different feelings for him, Tao Mingzhuo initially thought that Jing Ci had reached the point where he would tell others in private, "He is my boyfriend."

A normal person might feel very uncomfortable when encountering something like this that came out of nowhere, but at that time Tao Mingzhuo just felt like his face was burning uncontrollably.

After forcing himself to calm down, Tao Mingzhuo listened to the conversation between Jing Ci and the strange man for a while, and then realized that things were not as simple as he thought.

The atmosphere between Jing Ci and the man was tense, and Tao Mingzhuo rarely saw Jing Ci frown and speak in such a cold tone.

Tao Mingzhuo listened for a while and then realized that "boyfriend" seemed to be an excuse used by Jing Ci to deal with this man. What he said just now, "he is my boss," was inconsistent with the excuse he made. A conflict arose, which indirectly caused Jing Ci to fall into the predicament at the moment.

Tao Mingzhuo actually didn't know what he was thinking at that time.

He just felt that he had dragged Jing Ci to this place in the first place, and Jing Ci seemed to be troubled at the moment, so no matter what, he would help him fight back.

So in the end Tao Mingzhuo bit the bullet and said, "I am Jing Ci's precious boyfriend."

Tao Mingzhuo's words undoubtedly reversed the situation slightly, and the expression on Yao Lianchen's face suddenly became stiff.

Because Tao Mingzhuo had already confirmed it in person, even if he was unwilling to do so, Yao Lianchen could only say sarcastically: "...that's it."

He obviously still doubted the authenticity of Tao Mingzhuo's words, and asked in a strange way. "It's so strange, why do you two young lovers come to the nightclub together, and one of you is sitting alone on the sofa?"

Tao Mingzhuo opened his mouth slightly, and when he was hesitating how to answer, he felt the thorns behind him. Ci stood up and walked to her side.

He heard Jing Ci say calmly: "Because I'm tired and want to rest alone for a while."

"But he couldn't trust me, so he came back to find me." Jing Ci turned around and looked at Tao Mingzhuo's eyes, "Just right, I'm resting now."

"Let's go, Mingzhuo." He said.

Tao Mingzhuo's breathing stagnated slightly, and it took him a long time to say "Yeah" stiffly.

In fact, this was the first time Tao Mingzhuo was called by his name so affectionately.

Tao Mingzhuo is the second son in the family. His parents usually call him "the second son", while Tao Xue directly calls him "your boy, your boy". As for colleagues in the office, such as Yang Kening and Xu Yi, they call him by his full name most of the time. Occasionally, they will say "Xiao Tao" when they need to ask for something.

But when Jing Ci just called him, he used the word "Ming Zhuo".

The voice was gentle and the words were clear. The moment these two intimate words fell in Tao Mingzhuo's ears, he felt as if his heartbeat had skipped a beat.

Tao Mingzhuo's brain was down for a while. He followed Jing Ci to the other side of the dance floor in a daze, and finally came to a somewhat remote corner.

After stopping, Jing Ci turned his head and then frowned slightly.

Following Jing Ci's gaze, Tao Mingzhuo discovered that Yao Lianchen was still standing not far away, watching the two of them gloomily.

Jing Ci was silent for a while, and then suddenly asked Tao Mingzhuo: "Can you do me a favor?"

Tao Mingzhuo was startled: "...Okay."

He saw Jing Ci nodded and said, "I'm offended."

Tao Mingzhuo was stunned. Before Mingzhuo understood the connection between "helping" and "offending", Jingci raised his head and touched Tao Mingzhuo's face with one hand.

He lowered his eyes, then put his face next to Tao Mingzhuo's ear, and said softly: "I'm sorry."

Tao Mingzhuo's pupils suddenly dilated.

The quiet fragrance of Jing Ci flowed into his nose, as clear as spring water, which was in line with his temperament, but Tao Mingzhuo's breathing was a little quick.

Because Jing Ci was too close.

Tao Mingzhuo's eyes moved slightly downward, and he saw Jing Ci's eyelashes, the tip of his nose, and his soft, slightly pursed lips.

He realized that Jing Ci was probably doing it deliberately to show that man.

Jing Ci controlled the distance between the two very well.

The lights in the corner of the bar were very dim. In the eyes of others, their actions at this time looked extremely intimate, like a kissing couple in love.

But only Tao Mingzhuo knew that Jing Ci's hand holding his face subtly covered the position of their mouths.

So except for Jing Ci's hand that was pressing against her face, they actually didn't touch anything. It was just that the tips of their noses almost touched each other, they were simply very close.

But...but it's really close. Tao Mingzhuo thought blankly.

For the first time in his life, Tao Mingzhuo didn't know where to put his eyes, and in the end he could only focus on Jing Ci's small earring.

He thought Jing Ci's earlobes looked soft.

The music and people around him were very noisy, but Tao Mingzhuo's ears could only hear Jing Ci's gentle breathing. He forced himself to empty his mind.

I don't know how long it took, but Tao Mingzhuo felt Jing Ci let go of his hand and asked in his ear: "Is he gone?"

Tao Mingzhuo then raised his head as if waking up from a dream.

He looked at where Yao Lianchen was just now and found that no one was standing there.

Tao Mingzhuo felt that his throat was a little dry: "... Let's go."

Jing Ci's expression finally relaxed, he exhaled, and then took two steps back, widening the distance between the two.

"I'm sorry." Jing Ci explained, "He's very suspicious. If he doesn't show intimacy, he might not give up in the future."

Tao Mingzhuo was silent for a while, then nodded slowly.

Jing Ci looked at Tao Mingzhuo's face, smiled, and said, "Thank you for helping me out just now."

Recalling what he said, Tao Mingzhuo felt that his face began to heat up uncontrollably. After a while, He said dryly: "It doesn't matter."

"Because he kept pestering me at that time," Jing Ci said, "and you happened to be walking towards me, so I used you as an excuse without your consent."

"What he said was very rude, I hope you won't take it to heart." Jing Ci hesitated, looked at Tao Mingzhuo, and said apologetically, "I shouldn't have brought you into this casually, I'm sorry."

Tao Mingzhuo. Mingzhuo realized that Jing Ci was probably referring to the "boyfriend" thing just now.

He paused and shook his head: "It doesn't matter, but that person just now was..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that Jing Ci's expression became a little subtle.

"His name is Yao Lianchen. We worked together overseas for a while before." Jing Ci looked into Tao Mingzhuo's eyes, paused, and said hesitantly, "He... once pursued me."

As expected, Jing Ci Seeing the shocked look on the young man's face, his mouth opened and closed, unable to utter a complete sentence for a long time: "You, you..."

Jing Ci sighed silently in his heart.

He nodded and said gently to Tao Mingzhuo: "Yes, I like men."

Jing Ci has always maintained an open attitude about his sexual orientation.

However, if the relationship between herself and Tao Mingzhuo was simply a superior and subordinate, Jing Ci would not choose to take the initiative to confess such a private matter.

But in Jing Ci's heart, Tao Mingzhuo has long been a friend with special meaning.

Coupled with everything that happened tonight, Jing Ci felt that Tao Mingzhuo should have seen some clues. Judging from his behavior of taking the initiative to help her out, Jing Ci felt that he was a kind and worthy of her trust. people.

However, Tao Mingzhuo remained silent, and Jing Ci felt a little uneasy in his heart.

He thought about it for a moment, then asked softly: "I'm sorry, should I tell you earlier? If you don't feel comfortable..."

Before he could finish the sentence "If you feel uncomfortable", Jing Ci Then he heard Tao Mingzhuo suddenly whisper: "...I know."

Jing Ci was stunned: "What?"

Tao Mingzhuo pursed his lips, and his vision seemed to be a little erratic.

And he didn't know if it was Jing Ci's illusion, but he noticed that when Tao Mingzhuo looked at him, there seemed to be a hint of confusion in his eyes, like a slightly shy emotion.

After a while, he saw Tao Mingzhuo looking away.

Tao Mingzhuo's voice was a little muffled, and Jing Ci heard him abruptly change the subject: "You... didn't you say yesterday that you wanted to have supper together today?"

"I... I happen to be hungry now. "He lowered his head and said vaguely, "Let's go."
