Living Only For Myself: Make Those Who Hate Me Regret It-Chapter 192: How About I’m All Yours, From Head to Toe?
’...No, no, no!’
Realizing what she was thinking, Xu Su shook her head vigorously. She pushed his face away slightly, flustered and annoyed. "No! Zhou Mochen, if you want to prove that you like me for who I am, then you need to behave yourself around me."
"Behave myself..." Zhou Mochen repeated slowly, then flatly refused. "No. You’ve already admitted we’re a couple, so why do I have to behave?"
’He’d finally made it this far, only to be told he still couldn’t get close to her. Wouldn’t that be even more agonizing?’
Seeing how stubborn he was, Xu Su felt a headache coming on.
"Have you ever heard of platonic love? That’s my ideal of true love. A spiritual connection is the most beautiful thing." 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶
Xu Su explained her point of view, trying to sell him on the idea. "Physical entanglements are just animalistic. Only a purely spiritual love is a relationship on the level of souls. Don’t you want our love to transcend the mundane?"
"Only a love that transcends the mundane can withstand the test of time." Her voice was laced with temptation. "So, how about we try a platonic relationship?"
’I’m almost convincing myself,’ Xu Su thought. ’Look how well I put that. Any normal boyfriend would have to agree, if only to prove he wasn’t just after his girlfriend’s body.’
But when the well-read and knowledgeable Young Master Zhou heard this, he didn’t even bat an eye. He just stared at her for a long moment with an unreadable expression before finally scoffing. "Don’t give me that nonsense, Xu Su. You just need to know one thing: if a man likes you, he wants to sleep with you."
He held her by the waist, pressing himself flush against her, his smile widening. "Unless he can’t perform. Baby, want to see if I can?"
"..." ’As if I need to test him,’ Xu Su thought. ’This guy’s in heat 24/7.’ She couldn’t help but shift her hips, trying to put some distance between herself and *that*.
The next second, his grip tightened on her waist like a vise, and she couldn’t break free.
"Be a good girl, don’t move an inch. Otherwise, don’t blame me for not respecting you." Zhou Mochen’s voice was impossibly hoarse. He slipped a hand under her shirt, slowly caressing her waist. ’I must truly be a saint,’ he thought.
He promised through gritted teeth, "If you don’t want to, then I won’t touch you for now. I’ll just hold back. My little girl has no idea how to take pity on a man, after all. If I end up broken from this, just promise you won’t despise me for it."
"..." ’What’s with all this guilt-tripping?’
Xu Su was rendered a little speechless. She pushed at the handsome face looming over her. "Have you forgotten I’m still a high school senior? I’m already worried that just dating you will affect my grades, let alone sleeping with you."
He was always talking about sleeping together, but Xu Su didn’t show any of the shyness a girl her age might. She was simply discussing the matter at hand.
After a moment’s thought, she tried to set a precondition. "If my grades drop because I’m dating you, then, Zhou Mochen, we’ll just have to... Mmph—"
A hand clamped around the nape of her neck, forcing her head up to receive his kiss. Her whimper was swallowed whole.
After a long moment, Zhou Mochen released his hold, his dark eyes fixed on her. "I won’t accept a breakup for any reason, Xu Su. You can be as willful as you want. You can even refuse to let me touch you. But you cannot break up with me."
He gently stroked her glistening eyes, his tone impossibly soft. "Sweetheart, I don’t want to say anything harsh to you. So don’t say things that make me unhappy again, understand?"
Being stared at like that made Xu Su’s skin crawl. She really couldn’t stand how he flew off the handle at the slightest provocation.
’Who on earth ever said Zhou Mochen was deep and unfathomable?!’
’I’d barely even started the sentence, and he blew up like I’d stepped on a landmine!’
Xu Su explained with a sense of helplessness, "I wasn’t going to say we should break up. I meant that if my grades drop, we should wait until after my college entrance exams to be together."
"No. That’s not happening either." Brushing a kiss against her lips, Zhou Mochen firmly refused. "Not even for a single day. Sweetheart, you’re the one who came on to me, so don’t even think about running away. Just stay by my side where you belong. I’ll indulge your every whim, except for leaving me."
He clearly had no intention of waiting for her answer. As soon as he finished speaking, he lowered his head to kiss her again.
His girl was being uncharacteristically obedient, letting him kiss her. It wouldn’t be in Zhou Mochen’s nature to let her go so easily.
The kiss lasted until Shen Chen got back, and the two of them were still locked in embrace...
"Seriously? Aren’t you worried you’ll kiss your lips raw?" Shen Chen said, looking like he couldn’t bear to watch. "That’s enough, you two. You’ve got a lonely bachelor over here."
"!!!" The sudden voice made Xu Su jump. Mortified, she shoved Zhou Mochen away and scrambled off his lap, glaring furiously at the intruder, her face a deep crimson.
Before Xu Su could even stand up straight, a hand seized her waist and pulled her back down. Her vision went dark as he cupped the back of her head and buried her face in his chest.
Hiding his girl’s flushed, kiss-swollen face in his chest, Zhou Mochen looked up at the oblivious third wheel, his gaze icy. "Go to your room."
"Alright, alright. I’ll give you two some space." Shen Chen was quick on the uptake. He glanced at the girl buried in the man’s chest and cracked a grin. "Take it easy, you two. Don’t go making a baby."
Xu Su wasn’t some naive little girl; she knew exactly what he meant. She stiffened her neck, about to fire back a retort, but the hand on the back of her head held her fast.
There was no way Zhou Mochen would let another man see his girl’s blush.
Once Shen Chen had disappeared into his room, Zhou Mochen shifted her slightly, worried she might suffocate. He was met with a face of utter despair.
He couldn’t help but chuckle as he coaxed her, "Don’t worry, Ah Chen isn’t a stranger. Besides, we weren’t even doing anything."
’It was just a kiss. He could never bear to let anyone else see the passionate look on his girl’s face.’
Her eyes downcast, Xu Su said sullenly, "My reputation is completely ruined because of you. He thinks we’re going to make a baby..."
"Hm... it doesn’t matter." Zhou Mochen stroked her long hair, coaxing her good-naturedly. "Let him misunderstand. I’ll take full responsibility. It wouldn’t matter if the whole world misunderstood. Sweetheart, don’t forget, I’m your boyfriend. You belong to me."
Recalling her earlier reaction, and afraid that last statement would displease her, he quickly added, "And I’m yours, too. From head to toe, all yours, okay?"
"..." Xu Su had to fight the urge to blurt out "okay."
’This man’s seductive skills were getting more refined by the day!’
On her first night in Zhou Mochen’s home, Xu Su moved directly into the master bedroom.
After firmly rejecting Zhou Mochen’s "thoughtful offer of a sleep-in service, just in case she got scared," Xu Su decisively shut the door. Still feeling it wasn’t secure enough, she engaged all the locks before finally lying down on the bed, relieved.
’It’s not like she was afraid of ghosts... She’d been an Apiao herself for a while. What was there to be scared of?’
Staring at the door that had been mercilessly shut in his face, Zhou Mochen sighed helplessly and turned back toward the living room.
’This girl won’t respond to either threats or coaxing,’ he thought. ’She absolutely refuses to let me in. She’s far too on her guard.’
