Crossing the line

Chapter 94 When Love Matures

Yun Yuwan washed her face and came out of the bathroom, walked into the room and looked towards the terrace.

He was sitting with his back to her in a wicker garden chair on the terrace of the room, extinguishing a cigarette, twisting it with his long fingers to put out the flame in the ashtray.

The broad-leaved trees outside the terrace break up the light from the street lamps behind into many thin lines, which pass through the gaps between the neat branches and leaves, and radiate into cones in the form of mostly straight lines, like the brilliance of diamonds. Under the lens, they are so bright that the light is scattered at multiple angles.

The lights gently fell on Wen Yangzhi. The light on him seemed a little soft, his pajamas were soft, and the night wind blew over, making his hair so light that it flew, giving people the feeling that he was very close.

The night was quiet, and the lights on the terrace were not too bright. She took advantage of the dim evening breeze and sat next to him: "What do you want to tell me?"

Wen Yangzhi glanced at her from the side. Even her skin color was soft under the night light, which slightly softened his sharp features, making him seem gentle and affectionate towards her instead of intimidating without anger. He spoke in a relaxed tone:
"It depends on what you want to talk to me about."

Yun Yuwan's eyes immediately lit up and she asked, "What can we talk about?"

"What do you want to talk about?" Wen Yangzhi raised his eyebrows and looked at her, pulling her forward and backward, his arms resting on the armrests of the rattan chair, his broad shoulders leaning against the backrest, wanting to see what she was going to say.

Yun Yuwan placed her hands on the edge of the table, leaning slightly towards him, and asked the question she wanted to know most with her starry eyes:

"Why are you here?"

To be honest, Yun Yuwan didn't expect Wen Yangzhi to feel this way about her. She felt a strange warmth flowing through her body:
"Because I think I understand what you mean."

Yun Yuwan was touched and she got up from the seat beside her, hooked her arm around his neck, sat astride his legs, and hugged him intimately, allowing him to continue speaking steadily.

Clingy person.

Wen Yangzhi didn't care: "Understand what?"

Yun Yuwan was already quite proud of herself, but she froze after hearing this.

However, she kept away from him during those years, probably because she cherished her second home, which she had finally obtained, and did not want to lose her place in this family.

He placed the full cup of tea in front of her, speaking calmly and straightforwardly as if he was not involved: "For the past six years, I have deliberately avoided you."

Wen Yangzhi would actually ask for something. It turns out that Wen Yangzhi would be like this when he was in love.

"Then can you tell me why you like me?"

"There are many reasons." Wen Yangzhi answered her unclearly.

But I didn't expect him to drive the car into the sky with his next sentence: "Every time I see you, it's the same as this morning. I want to go to bed with you and kiss you."

Wen Yangzhi put his cell phone on the table and let his hands hang naturally on the armrest of the rattan chair.

Yun Yuwan became even more curious, and his curiosity was so strong that he was even more excited.

Wen Yangzhi was a little surprised at such a childish word, but he smiled and indulged: "Yes, I want to be close to you."

She didn't even know that he thought of her like this. She let out a small sigh:
"Are you always like this?"

Her eyes were as clear as torn cloth, and the bright light shining through them was stinging.

Yun Yuwan raised her chin proudly.

But she was only smugly silent for a moment, and then she spoke with an understanding beyond people's expectations:
"You mean, I'm an adult now, and I should respect, understand, and care for each other, right?"

Yun Yuwan was surprised: "Ah?"

Wen Yangzhi asked her for something, and Yun Yuwan's ears became hot. She felt that the burning atmosphere of love enveloped her and she had nowhere to go.

She didn't understand what he meant: "What do you mean you can't help it?"

Yun Yuwan couldn't help but lower her head and laughed.

Yun Yuwan asked: "So what is the reason?"

He held the handle of the teapot and poured tea from the white porcelain teapot: "But I only said one thing."

He lowered his head to look at her and said casually, "Just pretend that we met at a party, introduced by friends, or even on a blind date. Do you understand what I mean?"

His big hand could hold the back of her neck completely, and he said rationally and calmly: "I hope you won't treat me as your older brother, but as a man."

His bass voice is sexy, but his words are so straightforward that people are at a loss. His eyes are as deep as a pool of water. At first glance, they flicker, but are as rich as a wet rain that only wets lovers.

After a moment's reaction, his tail almost went up to the sky.

Seeing that she was happy again, Wen Yangzhi touched her face and her hair, like stroking a cute baby otter.

"I can't help it." Wen Yangzhi put down the teapot and gave an unexpected answer.

He seemed to mention it casually: "There is one more thing."

She was so proud: "Wen Yangzhi wants to be close to me."

Yun Yuwan didn't understand what this had to do with not being able to help herself, but when she heard him say that he was deliberately avoiding her, and thought of her growing longing and restraint over the past six years, she felt heartbroken.

Wen Yangzhi said casually: "It's always like this when I see you."

Wen Yangzhi simply said: "I have always treated you as a woman."

What? She was only sixteen when she first met him.

Like a wise man who can see clearly the differences between desire and benefit, he objectively evaluates the facts from a third-party perspective: "Some desires cannot be suppressed. If I can't get them, then I can only stay away from you."

Wen Yangzhi's big hand rested on the back of her neck, his back leaned against the back of the chair, his eyes were dark, his thumb was slightly rough, he stroked behind her ear, and said lightly:

Of course he would not be so despicable as to pursue her for his own selfish reasons. She was still young, but he was an adult and he should be able to distinguish right from wrong.

"What's the matter?" she asked curiously.

She could understand that Wen Yangzhi was a little surprised. After all, at her age, people generally don't understand that love is about equal strength. It's not that one party always protects the other. If one party gives unilaterally to the other, the balance will collapse in the long run.

She is actually very smart.

His eyes were as mature as dark grapes, with layers of deep colors overlapping each other, forming a smile that was endless:

“That’s what long-term relationships are all about.”

Only when you reach a certain age will you realize that love is not about jealousy, possessiveness, the desire for control, or the desire for something.

Only like it.

Liking someone does not necessarily mean being able to stick together. Most of the time, it is conditional. You may fall in love with someone because of their appearance, aura, or a momentary impulse.

Love can be stable, no matter whether the other person's appearance or identity changes, no matter whether the days are dull or not.

He is in love, but he doesn't know whether she is or not.

Yun Yuwan was almost sucked in by his eyes.

He casually mentioned: "Smart guy, you know this, but do you know the difference between love and like?"

No one knows this better than Yun Yuwan. Over the years, there have been other people pursuing her. She unconsciously compares her feelings for Wen Yangzhi and can clearly feel that they are different.

She said proudly: "Of course I know. If the person you love also has a lover, then when you see your lover being rejected by others, you will be overjoyed and happy that you have a chance. When you see your lover being rejected, you can empathize with him/her and understand his/her distress. You will not be secretly happy, but your first thought is to care about him/her."

Her reaction was beyond his expectations. He always felt that he was more mature than her, but she was not so dull that she could not keep up with his pace with her intelligence.

He nodded and praised shamelessly:

"philosopher."

Yun Yuwan exclaimed in surprise at his way of praising a child.

The way he praises people is too sloppy and he praises them like he is coaxing a child.

But the gentler and calmer he was at this moment, the more she could feel that this man indeed had powerful and rich experience and knowledge, and was very different from the impetuous and volatile young boy.

She seemed to understand.

His person is stable, and so is his love.

Yun Yuwan leaned in his arms, feeling somewhat happy.

Looking out from the third floor of Wen Yuan’s villa, you can see the Suzhou River in North Bund in the distance and the dazzling sea of ​​lights and cars.

It was so noisy outside, but she was with Wen Yangzhi.

She suddenly kissed him, lips pressed against his. He just lowered his eyes to look at her for a moment, then smiled faintly at her.

Breath is stickier than moonlight.

Gradually accepting each other's kiss is like the confluence of two warm ocean currents. Speaking out the lover's thoughts is itself a fatal and sincere seduction.

Know that the other person’s attachment is real.

I can't even explain why I like her, I just can't help but feel that I can't stop myself, and every move affects my thoughts and emotions. There seem to be invisible tentacles on the two people, gently intertwining, pulling their bodies together, and the desire to embrace is what they want.

Her lips were rosy, and as she moved away, she curiously asked him, "Why did you only tell me 'I couldn't help it', what about the others?"

"If I told you anything else, it would scare you." He was unwavering and shameless.

Yun Yuwan questioned: "Isn't it something perverted again?"

No matter what the truth was, he only answered her with four words: "Ruzi is teachable."

He wasn't at all ashamed, and his expression didn't even change.

Yun Yuwan didn't dare to think too deeply. Goose bumps appeared all over her body and she couldn't help rubbing them.

There was a slight smile in his eyes, as light as a floating boat, and he just looked at her meaningfully.

Yun Yuwan suddenly said, "I feel a little more familiar with you."

Wen Yangzhi waited for her to speak with great anticipation.

She raised her face, her eyes full of tears: "I feel so happy to understand the man I like."

She wanted to look at his phone before because she wanted to understand him.

"Isn't this happiness something we should have every day?" Wen Yangzhi smiled slowly.

She said seriously, "Actually, I was in a lot of pain six years ago. Compared to that time, it's definitely better now."

Wen Yangzhi listened to her and said, "Yeah."

Yun Yuwan was filled with regret and told him frankly: "Because I miss you so much. If another woman appears next to you, I am afraid I will not be able to control myself. When I see you standing there, I feel that I love you, so I left. I don't want to cause you trouble."

Wen Yangzhi chuckled and grasped the most important point: "So you are quite generous."

"Of course, even though it's painful, I hope you get better." Yun Yuwan proudly presented his treasure.

In fact, Wen Yangzhi was quite surprised that her thinking was so smart.

She knew exactly what he meant tonight.

Mature love is not about unconditional self-sacrifice, nor is it about hanging all your joys and sorrows on one person. In fact, it should be self-centered, thinking as an independent individual, but still putting the other person first.

Her psychological problems are not insurmountable.

She leaned into his arms: "The afternoon when you held me in your arms and read comics in Jinglou was the happiest time of my life."

She looked up: "Because I got you for a short time."

He teased nonchalantly: "Now you have me."

Yun Yuwan grinned: "Yes."

She hugged his waist, and nestled herself completely in his warm and broad embrace, humming:

"I've missed you so much in the past six years. I always thought it would be great if I could meet you by chance. I missed you when I watched the fireworks, when people were partying around me at a party, and when others wanted to date me."

She said aggrievedly: "Wen Yangzhi, you don't know how much I love you."

He raised his hand, brushed the tip of his finger across the corner of her eye, and said calmly:
"Oh, you have no idea how much I want to have sex with you."

Yun Yuwan was speechless but wanted to laugh: "Here we go again. We should really let the people outside see how dishonest the head of Wen's Bank is in private."

He didn't care at all, not even blushing: "Why, you only allow yourself to say it, but not others?"

Yun Yuwan really didn't understand: "What a pervert, why do you think like that?"

He calmly commented: "Men are essentially bastards."

Unexpectedly, Yun Yuwan hurriedly stopped him: "Don't say that, Wen Yangzhi is not a bastard."

He was expectant and asked her patiently, "What is Wen Yangzhi?"

In the end, she held her face and laughed: "Wen Yangzhi is a male model."

He found it incredible and somewhat amusing, and raised one eyebrow: "What did you say?"

Yun Yuwan drooled at the thought of that scene: "Do you know that when you stood on the balcony of my room with your back to me, your legs were super long and looked super good in suit pants?"

She said infatuatedly: "What long legs, what a sexy male model."

Wen Yangzhi seemed to have suddenly seen through something: "So that's why you suddenly hugged my legs this morning and begged me not to kiss you?"

"You found out." Yun Yuwan immediately lowered his head in shame.

She bit his ear, too, and always did things that made one feel like she wouldn't have any evil intentions when looking at her face.

"Yun Yuwan, you have a lot of dirty stuff in your head."

She lowered her head and whispered, "Because you are very handsome."

Wen Yangzhi lowered his eyes, looking at her cowardly yet sincere expression, as if rewarding her: "Will you go to my room?"

"Go up now? I haven't taken a shower yet." She hesitated.

He picked her up and said, "It doesn't matter where you wash."

Yun Yuwan was afraid of being seen, so she quickly tried to get down: "I can go up by myself, don't hold me."

However, she went upstairs, and as soon as she entered the bathroom he came in and closed the door.

She was surprised: "Why did you come in?"

He began to unbutton her pajamas with one hand without any burden, and put his other hand on her shoulder: "You said you would play in front of the mirror."

She fluttered quickly: "That's not what I thought, I thought you wanted to do this!"

He was indifferent: "It's all the same."

It was a cloudless blue night, and the full moon on the fifteenth day of the lunar month looked exceptionally full and round.

On the night of Mid-Autumn Festival, the emptiness is filled up like the full moon in the sky.

It almost became a regular performance of Wen Yangzhi. In the end, Yun Yuwan was washed clean by Wen Yangzhi, put on clothes, and carried back to bed.

Finally, she lay down and his hand reached out from behind.

She murmured, "Don't come, I'm really tired today."

He had just asked her to look in the mirror, but the shock was so strong that she was too embarrassed to look at it. She turned on the hot water from the faucet and tried to cover the image in the mirror with water mist. He did not let her cover it and wiped off the water mist with his hand.

Wen Yangzhi: “…”

He paused for a moment, but continued to tuck the quilt in for her without being affected.

Yun Yuwan finally realized: "...You want to tuck me in?"

He withdrew his hand as if nothing had happened: "Otherwise, what do you think it is?"

Yun Yuwan felt a little ashamed and wrapped herself in the quilt: "It's all your fault. You've made people feel dirty here."

"Why are people in such a panic?" He listened to her patiently.

She said angrily, "Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, and yellow."

Wen Yangzhi was amused and smiled: "So you cooperate with me so well tonight?"

"Because I want to be intimate with you now, too." She whispered with her back to him.

He put his hand into the quilt, and the two of them held hands and chatted, one leaning on the back of the bed while the other was lying down.

Yun Yuwan closed her eyes and sighed, "I feel like our relationship is a little different after today."

"What's the difference?"

"When you told me this, I felt like I kissed you a little."

Wen Yangzhi hummed, but she didn't respond. He looked down and saw that she seemed to have fallen asleep. The pillow squeezed the flesh on one side of her face together, making her look like a little pig.

He let go of her hand and she didn't move.

Wen Yangzhi lifted up her skirt and tucked the corner of her nightgown into her panties without showing any emotion.

She didn't move either.
