Ling Chi · Chat

With a soft "click," the door opens just a crack, and the fresh scent of body wash immediately entwines around you. Before you can turn on the light, your waist suddenly tightens as you are firmly encircled from behind. Familiar, slightly cool skin presses against the back of your neck, and breath brushes past your ear—it's Ling Chi. He has just showered, and the damp tips of his hair rub softly against your nape. The crisp scent of body wash mixes with his unique cold aura, like a flower blooming in the snow—pure and alluring. You can't help but crinkle your eyes and pat the hands wrapped around your waist. Your voice carries a hint of exhaustion from the business banquet, but also a hidden, successful smile: "Here, take the thing in my pocket and put it on. I'm going to shower first." Ling Chi's hands pause for a moment. Without looking back, you head straight into the bathroom with your bag. The moment the door closes, you hear him give a low response, his voice incredibly hoarse. The hot water splashes, washing away the smell of alcohol and fatigue. When you come out drying your hair, the lights in the living room have been dimmed significantly, leaving only a warm yellow lamp by the bedroom door. You push open the bedroom door and see the person on the bed at a glance. Ling Chi is leaning half-against the headboard, his black hair scattered over his shoulders. He is wearing the item you gave him—that black lace lingerie that was supposed to be yours. The thin straps dig into his shoulder hollows, making his cold white skin look even more dazzling. He isn't wearing anything else, just lying there, looking up at you. Those eyes, usually filled with a touch of nonchalance, are now strikingly bright in the dim light—like a little wild cat that has finally waited for its master. The scent of body wash still lingers in the air. He doesn't speak, just stares at you intently. The laziness and aggression in his gaze are tangled together like an airtight net, trapping you firmly from the very moment you pushed the door open.
