The Overnight Chosen Wife: Darling, Kiss Me Deeper

Soon the movie began. 

Ji Xiehan and Li Lanni were sitting together with a huge bucket of popcorn between them.

It wasn't even after 15 minutes of the film's start that Ji Xiehan lost interest in watching the movie, and started staring at the beauty beside him in a daze. Li Lanni was completely immersed in watching the movie. Ji Xiehan only kept his gaze fixated on her, while occasionally taking popcorn and shoving it into his mouth. 

He didn't understand why girls liked going to the movies, but for guys, it must be because they enjoyed seeing their girlfriends happy. Seeing how happy Li Lanni was, he felt their date was well spent. 

In a daze, he reached to take more popcorn, and coincidentally Li Lanni also reached at the same time. Their hands brushed against each other.

She felt a rush of what felt like an electric current right through her veins and became conscious of his gaze.

She flashed a smile at him. "Are you enjoying the movie? If not, it's not too late to switch to another." 

"I like it." Ji Xiehan said smiled charmingly. He really did like it. Only, he liked the person next to him, not the movie. He didn't even know what the movie was all about. 

The scene currently playing on the screen was of the young couple eating ice cream and feeding each other. 

That gave Ji Xiehan an idea. He reached to take some of the popcorn and put his hand near Li Lanni's mouth. The girl was a little surprised and chuckled, then she took the popcorn into her mouth, obediently eating from his hand. 

Ji Xiehan felt happier than he would if he was the one eating. He grabbed it a few more times to feed her. Even though they were not talking, this silent interaction was so sweet that Ji Xiehan did not want the movie to end soon. 

Li Lanni didn't want it to end either. She was not sure whether she was enjoying the movie or the company of the man next to he more.

Ji Xiehan got even naughtier, taking more popcorn by his hand then teasing her with it before shoving it into his own mouth. He burst into laughter when he saw how silly she looked with a cute pout due to disappointment. 

Li Lanni glared at him in anger when she saw him laughing at her expense. She then thought of something, and a glint flashed across her eyes. With a playful smirk, she inched closer towards him and pulled his tie suggestively.

Ji Xiehan's heart started beating loudly when he saw her closing in and suggestively pulling his tie. His eyes sparkled with anticipation, and shameful thoughts flooded his mind when he suddenly felt a cl.u.s.ter of popcorn tickle his neck then roll all the way to his stomach. 

Li Lanni held a hand over her mouth and laughed heartily after shoving a handful of popcorn down his shirt. 

Ji Xiehan was helpless when he saw a heap of popcorn underneath the shirt. Never mind, as long as she was happy. 

By the time the movie was done, Ji Xiehan had a bellyful of popcorn. Literally. And the culprit in all this was having a blast laughing while he felt ticklish. 'You will pay for this.' He swore inwardly. 

Such a grand opportunity to make her compensate him for physical and emotional damage had just presented itself. How could he not grab it? After the movie ended, he went to the washroom and cleaned all the popcorn on him before taking her back home.

On the way back home, Li Lanni felt a chill on her back, and when she saw the smirk on his face, she thought he was up to no good. Thus, as soon as they arrived at Li Yuming's villa, she quickly got off the car. But he was quicker than her and grabbed her hand, suddenly yanking her into his embrace. 

Li Lanni was shocked by the sudden move, but she remained silent without having any intention to push him away. 

Ji Xiehan lowered his head, and daringly kissed her forehead and cheeks.

She blushed from the sweet sensation and pulled away from him, not daring to look up into his eyes. "I… I'll go now. T-thanks for the movie and… dropping me off!"

"Wait." He grabbed her hand again before she could flee. 

"W-what is it?" Even she couldn't believe just how broken her voice sounded. What was wrong with her? Had Ji Xiehan eaten away all her confidence?

Ji Xiehan took a nicely packed box from his pants pocket and gave it to her. "It is for you." 

Li Lanni looked at him, then took the box before opening it right there. A shimmering blue bracelet greeted her.  "It's beautiful… thank you. Help me put it on." She was not just saying it to humor him. It was indeed, one of the most beautiful bracelets she had ever seen. Of course, the fact that Ji Xiehan was the one to gift it just added to its beauty.

Pleased, Ji Xiehan took it and helped her put it around her wrist. Now he felt that her hands looked even more beautiful. He couldn't resist taking her hand and placing a soft kiss on it. 

Li Lanni closed in on him, and before he could register anything, a kiss landed on his cheek. Then she fled all the way to her room, blushing furiously. 

___

Unlike Li Lanni, who was having the time of her life and falling in love so sweetly, Xia Luna was currently the epitome of annoyance. 

Even after beating Ji Feifei up, the frustration within her didn't subside. So she disguised as a male, went into the bar, and caused trouble by unreasonably beating a few teenagers up simply for being there.

When she still didn't feel relieved, she went on to ride a bike at full speed, making the traffic police chase after her and then swiftly evading them, among other forms of trouble she had caused in the last sixteen hours. She wreaked havoc wherever she went, but not only the uneasiness and frustration within her not subside, but it increased even more.

It was not just the usual uneasiness that one could sleep or cry off. It was… the most overwhelming feeling of sadness she had ever had.

She had the urge to break everything in her line of sight. Even though she controlled herself and didn't actually break anything - aside from a few bones at the bar - she emitted a scary and chilly aura akin to the cold beast all the time that even Cheng Yu dared not go anywhere near her. 

But after seeing that she didn't leave her room all day, Cheng Yu got worried. She knew that Xia Luna would never think of killing herself, but what if she got gastritis from not eating all day? 

Hence she cooked a few dishes and a bowl of soup and daringly went into her room. 

"Do you need anything?" Xia Luna had tried not to sound rude, but her husky voice sounded so scary that Cheng Yu almost fled. 

But she still went ahead. "Luna, you have not eaten anything. Here, have some food to eat." 

Xia Luna was indeed hungry, so she thanked her and accepted the food. 

She had a taste of the braised beef that Cheng Yu had cooked, then stopped and scrutinized the latter. 

"What's up?" Cheng Yu felt nervous. 

"I'm just surprised. You're the only one who still treats me so kindly even after knowing my true colors. And to think I ever imagined…" 

Cheng Yu could fill up the cut-out words, but she knew it would hurt her friend, so she didn't say it out. "Luna, you have never been on your own. I care about you and… you do know that Lanni would also care about you even if she found out, right?" 

Xia Luna scoffed. "Right. I should be thinking about people who still accept me. Why would I even be thinking of some man?" When she said the last part of the sentence, Xia Luna's voice was so scary that Cheng Yu felt her knees weakening.

Cheng Yu didn't know what to say. By listening to her words, she could tell that cause of Xia Luan's predicament was Jiang Xingyu. She had always believed that Jiang Xingyu loved Xia Luna and that it was she who didn't reciprocate the feelings. 

However, the situation right now seemed contrary to what she thought. It was as though Xia Luna was the one who loved relentlessly, and her heart had been broken by the heartless Jiang Xingyu. And well...why was she so sad over a man she didn't have feelings for anyway? 

Because she didn't want to antagonize Xia Luna any further, she kept her curious thoughts to herself and did not ask.

Once Xia Luna was done eating, she took her laptop and grinned mischievously. Heh. She was done taking out her bad mood on innocent people. Then she started typing codes.
