Back Then, I Adored You

She was still trying to kiss him and, because he still showed no reaction, her kisses gradually deepened in intensity. While he knew that she did not do this willingly, he still could not bear to push her away.

Her lips were dry and she lacked technique, but his impulse was aroused once more by her teasing. Eventually, he could not control himself and lifted his hands to grab her waist and pull her tightly into his arms. He then enveloped her lips in his and deepened his kisses.

Perhaps because he understood her reluctance earlier on, but this time, when Lu Bancheng initiated the kiss with Xu Wennuan, he began to take note of her reaction. When his tongue pried open her lips, the small of her back trembled slightly. While it was only a fleeting movement, he clearly felt it.

He momentarily stopped his kisses and then, using the smallest possible pressure that he could, he began to attempt to arouse her natural physical instincts. He kissed her delicately for a very long time, but she remained stoic while he kissed her as he pleased. She was completely unmoved, and neither did she show any signs of getting into the role and indulging in it. His body was trying so hard to tease and please her.

Does she not have even an ounce of feelings for me?

Lu Bancheng’s blazing hot heart turned slightly cold. Unable to reconcile with this, he kissed Xu Wennuan tenderly once again. His fingertips wandered on her body with much care. He was particularly gentle, but the icy look remained on her face. Her body even became increasingly stiff when his palms grazed her chest. No matter what he tried, her body showed no response.

Is it because I don’t have a place in her heart?

Lu Bancheng abruptly stopped all his actions and shut his eyes. He inhaled silently before he pushed Xu Wennuan away from his arms and gradually increased the distance between them. He stopped halfway once again, and this time Xu Wennuan merely spaced out for a moment before she quickly grasped his hand.

Perhaps because he was so upset over his numerous attempts to please her failing to move her, or perhaps because he was slightly frustrated over the need to repress his body’s urge out of his unwillingness to force her to do it when she was reluctant, the moment she touched him, he suddenly slapped her hand away and yelled, “DON’T TOUCH ME!”

Xu Wennuan tremble from the shock, and she did not understand his sudden change in desire. Puzzled, she looked up toward him.

Without attempting to clarify what her actions meant, Lu Bancheng prepared to walk to the changing room but, before he could take a step, she tugged on his clothes. “I told you not to touch me!” Lu Bancheng turned back reflexively and yelled at Xu Wennuan in anger.

Xu Wennuan loosened her grip on his clothes but subsequently tightened again and asked in a timid voice, “I… I… You… You… Could you continue?”

“Continue?” Lu Bancheng smirked coldly. As he was too repressed, his humiliation turned into anger. “Do you think I could continue to do it with someone who shows no response? Who reacts like a dead fish? It’s a turnoff when you act just like a corpse! Quit being an eyesore if you don’t have the ability to help me please you.”

She seemed to be hurt by his malicious words as she stared at him in a daze.
