Chapter 215
Huo Youqiao was already waiting outside.
He had taken a shower before Ye Zhi, wearing the same style of bathrobe. His glasses were off, and his normally slicked-back hair was now loose, adding a touch of allure. Ye Zhi felt his face flush just looking at him, and his steps faltered for a moment, nearly causing him to stumble. Huo Youqiao quickly steadied him, then sat him down on his lap.
There was a significant height difference between the two, so even though Ye Zhi was pregnant, sitting on his lap gave off a sense of “petiteness.”
“You smell really good,” Huo Youqiao said, wrapping his arm around Ye Zhi’s waist and leaning in to nuzzle his neck, inhaling his scent. This man, who seemed serious and unapproachable in public, was incredibly gentle and affectionate in private, not hesitating to show his intimate side to Ye Zhi.
Qing Qing admired Ye Zhi’s composure and whispered, “How do you manage to stay so calm around him? Every time I see him, I get nervous.”
In the beginning, Ye Zhi had been the same way.
He had felt this man was out of his league, and even speaking a few words to him made him flustered, unsure of how to act, afraid of making mistakes.
But it was under his gentleness that the panic slowly dissipated.
Peeling away the layers of seriousness, Ye Zhi discovered that Huo Youqiao was just an ordinary man. He had ordinary emotions, experiencing joy and sadness, happiness, and even moments of childishness or infatuation.
And almost all of these emotions were directed towards him, filling Ye Zhi’s heart with joy with just the thought of it.
“Even though we use the same shower gel,” Ye Zhi replied shyly, his face still red.
With a hint of a smile in his voice, Huo Youqiao said, “But it smells better on you.”
Ye Zhi’s neck was slender and graceful, and due to his fair skin, you could even see a few veins. Huo Youqiao’s eyes darkened as he whispered, “Should I help you?”
Blushing, Ye Zhi bit his lip, trying to catch his breath. Eventually, he gently pulled open the belt of his bathrobe, letting the garment naturally fall open to reveal his swollen chest. The fabric of the bathrobe was thin, and even when it was fastened, Huo Youqiao could see his prominent nipples. Now, he could fully appreciate the beauty of Ye Zhi’s chest.
It was bigger, both sides were bigger.
Huo Youqiao had never quite understood why people used “cherry-like” to describe nipples. He had always thought it was an exaggeration, even for women. But now he realized how apt the description was; there was no better comparison.
Ye Zhi’s chest now looked like two cherries, the most tender and beautiful kind. They stood firm and erect without any touch, tempting one to imagine if they would burst with juice if bitten into.
His gaze was too intense, causing Ye Zhi to blush even more. He softly reminded him, “I’m so swollen.”
This was his vulnerable spot; he was exposing himself now.
Huo Youqiao smiled and drew him closer, saying, “I’ll help you now.” However, as soon as he tentatively licked it, Ye Zhi winced in pain, and the color drained from his face. Huo Youqiao was a bit flustered this time. “Is it that painful?”
“Yes, it really hurts.” It was both painful and swollen, accompanied by an unbearable soreness.
Huo Youqiao tried to massage it gently, but Ye Zhi’s tears welled up from the pain, yet he insisted, “Keep going, I… I can bear it.”
He even bit his lip, looking so adorable with tears in his eyes.
Ye Zhi didn’t know why he suddenly became so fragile. He used to endure much worse pain without complaint, but now he seemed to have lost his previous tolerance. He made up his mind that this time, no matter how painful it was, he wouldn’t show it, but Huo Youqiao stopped.
He leaned in to kiss his lips, gently coaxing him to release his bitten lip. Then, he softly licked into his mouth, murmuring, “Let’s do something to make you feel better first.”
