Chapter 926: Chapter 157: Love That Eats Into the Bones

Si Nan’s gaze was profound, his Adam’s apple moving up and down, "I don’t want to leave, take me in."

"... Can you, can you stay away from me a bit?" Tang Yige’s heart was racing, so fast she couldn’t tell if it was panic or irritation.

In short, this feeling was especially awful.

"Why?"

Si Nan asked hoarsely.

His lips were far too close to her ear.

She could even feel his lips gradually heating up, and finally, even without fully touching her ear, she seemed to sense the warmth from his lips in a daze.

Tang Yige’s heart beat even faster, her head tilted to one side, "Si Nan, if you can’t sit still, then sit back down!"

"Haha."

Si Nan let out a deep, husky laugh beside her ear.

As if Tang Yige had said something incredibly funny.

Tang Yige’s mouth twitched, is this guy going crazy lately!

"Yiyi, you look so cute when you’re angry," Si Nan said.

"..." About to puke!

Tang Yige, with a dark expression, elbowed him, "Stay away from me!"

"As you command."

Then.

Si Nan really moved away from Tang Yige, removing his hand from her shoulder.

Tang Yige, "..." Suddenly felt a bit cold.

Her brows slightly furrowed, and Tang Yige glanced sideways at Si Nan sitting next to her, her little face involuntarily pulling down.

The heart that was pounding just moments ago.

In such a short time, it was beating slower than usual.

An inexplicable gloominess.

Si Nan might or might not have sensed Yige’s shift in mood, as he gazed at her with a hint of inscrutable depth.

Tang Yige kept quiet, and Si Nan also said nothing.

The two remained silent like this.

Approximately ten minutes passed.

Suddenly, Si Nan stood up from beside Yige.

Tang Yige’s eyelash fluttered, instinctively raising her eyes to look up at Si Nan.

Si Nan looked down at Tang Yige, and when his gaze swept to her unwittingly knitted brows, his eyes subtly narrowed, his voice calm as he said, "I’m leaving."

Tang Yige, "..."

In her eyes looking at Si Nan, there was clearly an added layer of anger.

Seeing that, Si Nan’s eyes deepened as he said, "Get some rest early."

Tang Yige clenched her hands, staring at him without speaking.

Si Nan paused for two seconds, then walked past Tang Yige, heading straight for the door.

Tang Yige inhaled, a cold smile pulling at the corners of her mouth.

She also rose from the sofa and walked toward the stairs.

Si Nan hadn’t reached the door when he heard deliberate, heavy footsteps thumping on the stairs.

Si Nan’s body paused slightly, tilting his head in Tang Yige’s direction.

Only, with just one glance, Tang Yige had already gone upstairs.

Si Nan clenched his fists, his gaze suddenly fierce, as he turned, his long legs carrying a slight intensity, striding toward the staircase.

...

Tang Yige got upstairs, depressingly wanting to throw something.

She didn’t know why she was upset, just that she was uncomfortable, very uncomfortable.

Thump, thump, thump—

The sound of heavy and quick footsteps abruptly came from the stairs.

Tang Yige’s heart suddenly tightened, about to turn to look back.

But before she could pivot on her toe, her waist was suddenly encircled from behind.

Then.

Tang Yige’s feet were suddenly lifted off the ground, startling her to take a sharp breath.

After that, she was placed on the work desk behind her.

Her legs spread apart, and someone’s tall figure wedged in.

Fearful, Tang Yige widened her eyes in terror, looking at the returned intruder, "Si, Si Nan, what are you, what are you doing?"

"What do you think I’m going to do?"

Si Nan’s handsome face bore a shadow of viciousness, his hands swiftly undoing the buttons on his own shirt front.

In front of Tang Yige, he directly removed his shirt.

Revealing a toned, muscular upper body.

Tang Yige’s eyes widened even more.

A wave of dizziness hit her, and with both hands on the desk, she backed away in panic. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

Si Nan sneered coldly, grabbed Tang Yige’s ankle, and abruptly pulled her back just as she had slid away a bit.

Ah...

Tang Yige screamed inwardly, her face pale as she stared at Si Nan, "Si Nan, don’t do anything reckless..."

Si Nan leaned over, with both hands on the desk behind Tang Yige’s back.

His somewhat wicked and wild face came closer to Tang Yige, with intense restraint in his moist eyes, "Yiyi, what do you want me to do? What must I do for you to accept me? Hm?"

"Si Nan..." Tang Yige’s heart pounded.

A bit fearful of Si Nan’s sudden change.

"Why won’t you trust me just once?" Si Nan stared at Tang Yige, a hint of gloom flashing across his eyes.

Tang Yige’s breathing became tight, "You, you want me to trust you about what?"

"I love you! I will give you happiness!" Si Nan said.

"...Happiness?"

Tang Yige’s voice choked, her eyes turning red, "Just like this, right now?"

Si Nan frowned.

"...Si Nan, don’t you know? I don’t understand you. You’re so unpredictable and changeable. Sometimes you’re very gentle and kind to me, but other times you suddenly turn cold and harsh. I’m afraid of you, do you know?"

Tang Yige suddenly choked up and couldn’t speak.

"I want to believe you, but I really can’t do it."

With those words, a tear slid down from the corner of Tang Yige’s eye.

"Yiyi." Si Nan tenderly cupped Tang Yige’s face, using his fingertips to gently wipe around her eye corners, "Don’t cry."

Tang Yige knew she’d lost her dignity, sniffed and turned her face away, her voice hoarse as she said, "Si Nan, really, give me some time."

Previously, the time she spent with him was far from ideal.

Every time she thought they could truly start again.

He always changed back into the cold, sharp Si Nan the next moment.

She really didn’t want to repeat the same mistakes, to go through disappointment once more.

If the ending is destined to be disappointing, it’s better to have never started at all.

"Yiyi, I can give you time, not pressure you. But, you must promise me one thing."

Si Nan cupped the side of Tang Yige’s face and turned her face to face him.

Fine droplets still clung to Tang Yige’s long eyelashes, making her eyes slightly red, looking exceptionally alluring and pitiful.

Si Nan’s previously cold and hard face softened.

Deep concern and sorrow emerged in his profound eyes, "Open your heart and feel me."

Tang Yige’s pupils shrank, staring at Si Nan in a daze.

"Give me a chance to prove myself. Okay?" Si Nan earnestly requested.

Tang Yige unconsciously bit her lower lip lightly, her eyes hesitant.

"...I will prove to you that it’s always been you I love. I, Si Nan, love only you." As Si Nan spoke, his fingertips moved to Tang Yige’s lower lip, softly brushing it down as if to rescue her lip from her teeth.

Tang Yige’s eyes flickered, letting go of her lip unconsciously, her brows slightly furrowed, still gazing at Si Nan.

"Is it okay?" Si Nan asked gruffly.

Tang Yige’s long lashes fluttered quickly a few times.

About thirty to forty seconds later, Tang Yige slowly lifted her lashes, gazed at Si Nan, and gained some resolve, nodding, "Okay."

Si Nan’s tense lips quivered at her answer.

His eyes glued to her beautiful face seemed to freeze in disbelief.

Si Nan stared at Tang Yige without blinking.

Initially, Tang Yige could barely hold up against it.

But as time passed, Tang Yige’s cheeks blushed, unable to resist feeling a bit shy.

"Si, Si Nan, have you looked enough?"

Embarrassed, Tang Yige’s voice unintentionally carried a hint of coyness and teasing, deeply enticing.

Suddenly.

Her shoulders were gripped firmly by Si Nan.

Tang Yige’s heart skipped a beat, staring at him wide-eyed.

Seeing the blossoming smile on his handsome face, Tang Yige couldn’t help but hold her breath lightly.

Reflecting Si Nan’s gleaming pupils, they gently trembled.

Tang Yige no longer remembered.

How long it had been since she’d seen such a bright and cheerful smile on his face.

Seeing it again.

It felt like a lifetime had passed.

Just as Tang Yige remained immersed in this nostalgic sentiment, her body suddenly lifted off the ground.
