Chapter 9 The Spa Pool Kiss
Water splashed around me as Pei Yuchuan jumped into the pool with me.
During the rapid descent, he reached out and grabbed me.
His large hand supported my waist, almost holding me in his arms.
Splashes rose one after another. I suddenly recalled those days studying abroad.
Back then, the apartment had a bathtub. Pei Yuchuan liked to fill it with warm water and carry me in, still in my pajamas.
The thin fog on the mirror reflected our entwined shadows.
He would whisper against my earlobe, over and over.
Now, I looked up at the drenched Pei Yuchuan.
Water dripped from his hair tips, droplets landing on my collarbone and trailing down.
My body still held memories and desires for him. At the moment of contact, it heated up intensely.
The spa pool water wasn't deep. After I stood steady, I tried hard to pull away from him.
But Pei Yuchuan had no intention of letting go.
His palm pressed against my spine, pulling me toward his chest.
"Show me that photo you sneaked of me today?"
I stubbornly said, "I was photographing Pei Xi."
He traced my eyebrows and eyes in the air with his hand. After a moment, he murmured lowly, "Liar."
"I talked to Gu Yan on the phone this morning. She said you never let go of your ex."
"Wen You, after three years apart, do you still think about me?"
I instinctively wanted to deny it, but the moment I met his gaze, all words stuck in my throat.
He suddenly pulled me into the spa water.
The warm water covered me completely.
He reached out, cupped the back of my head, and pressed his lips down.
My heart pounded fiercely as I suffocated.
I wanted to break free, but I couldn't escape at all. His kiss remained so dominant.
When people lacked oxygen, thoughts drifted.
I recalled that Christmas many years ago. He kissed me like this, his eyes filled with endless affection.
Wet clothes clung to my body. The rough texture of his fingertips trailed from my neck to my collarbone.
I trembled badly, almost subconsciously clinging to his neck.
Just as I neared suffocation, he pulled me to the surface. I finally gasped for air.
But before I caught my breath, he gripped my waist, about to kiss again.
I recalled the news Gu Yan told me earlier.
Pei Yuchuan was already engaged.
He and his fiancée had a good relationship, about to marry.
What we did felt truly shameless.
So I used all my strength to stop him.
"Pei Yuchuan, we've been apart for three years."
"Doing this with an ex, doesn't it feel disgusting?"
