OSL – Chapter Nine
Warning: Chapter Nine has mild mature content.
In An Yin Zhu’s car, Gu Tian Tian senses something isn’t right.
‘What do you want to say?’ Gu Tian Tian asks. ‘I want to go back upstairs.’
An Yin Zhu’s complexion is dark like a black pearl. He drives Gu Tian Tian away from the college campus.
Gu Tian Tian looks at An Yin Zhu’s angry face while he drives. Who does he want to scare? She didn’t do anything to provoke him.
An Yin Zhu parks on an empty street, and the car is silent except for the sounds of his and Gu Tian Tian’s breaths.
An Yin Zhu turns and faces Gu Tian Tian. ‘I’m twenty-two this year. I’m handsome, I have a healthy body, I’m strong, I have connections, I’m responsibly managing my family business, last year I started a company, and you don’t need to worry that I can’t make money.’
Gu Tian Tian doesn’t know why An Yin Zhu is praising himself. But she admits his self-praises are all true. Compared to him, she’s an eighteen-year-old who has nothing to show for herself.
‘I have a good family home,’ An Yin Zhu says. ‘My family members get along with each other. Everyone knows my dad and mum loves you. So you won’t have to experience having an overbearing father-in-law and mother-in-law. Your dad and mum loves me too.’
What father-in-law and mother-in-law? An Yin Zhu’s words are making Gu Tian Tian freak out.
‘You… what are you saying?’ Gu Tian Tian stammers.
Gu Tian Tian doesn’t understand why An Yin Zhu is suddenly pointing out his good traits, and what he wants from her.
An Yin Zhu sees confusion on Gu Tian Tian’s face, and it makes him more frustrated. He promised Mrs. Gu that he’ll wait until Gu Tian Tian is an adult before he makes a move. But Gu Tian Tian’s confusion means he needs to make a move soon otherwise he’ll lose her.
‘What do you think I’m saying?’ An Yin Zhu asks.
Gu Tian Tian purses her lips, her brain thinks about the little bride incident, and her heart pounds again.
An Yin Zhu doesn’t expose Gu Tian Tian playing dumb.
‘How do you feel about me?’ An Yin Zhu asks.
Gu Tian Tian looks outside the window, and thinks about the best way to escape. Her hand secretly moves toward the door handle. ‘I… you…’
‘I locked the doors,’ An Yin Zhu says.
Gu Tian Tian looks at the back, and thinks about how to escape through the boot.
An Yin Zhu notices Gu Tian Tian planning an alternate escape, and sits closer to her.
‘Why do you want to escape?’ An Yin Zhu asks.
Gu Tian Tian wants to cry because she feels An Yin Zhu is looking like his prey fell into a trap. His gentle voice makes her panic. His complexion changing from frustration to calmness gives off a dangerous vibe. Right now he looks like a monster blocking out the sky, and she’s a monster’s dessert.
An Yin Zhu moves closer to Gu Tian Tian until her shoulder is against the pa.s.senger car door.
‘What do you want?’ Gu Tian Tian asks.
An Yin Zhu lowers Gu Tian Tian’s chair. One of his knees kneels on her chair, and his body leans over her body. ‘What do you think I want to do?’
Gu Tian Tian can’t avoid the mountain looking down on her. She bites her lips, blushes, and looks like a sweet dessert in An Yin Zhu’s eyes.
Gu Tian Tian widens her eyes anxiously like a frightened small pet.
An Yin Zhu caresses Gu Tian Tian’s face, and her body shivers.
‘You…’ Gu Tian Tian says.
An Yin Zhu lock lips with Gu Tian Tian, his tongue coils her tongue, and makes her feel light headed.
An Yin Zhu’s initial rough kiss turns gentler the next minute. He kisses Gu Tian Tian tenderly, and his tongue softly licks her tongue.
Gu Tian Tian keeps her eyes widen, and her body stays in a state of shock until An Yin Zhu’s hands cups her cheeks. She closes her eyes, realises he initiated a kiss, and she’s lying on the lowered chair beneath his body.
Gu Tian Tian can’t move her body except for making o sounds in An Yin Zhu’s mouth. She remembers him praising himself as being strong. Lying beneath him, she can feel how strong he is.
An Yin Zhu kisses Gu Tian Tian for a long time, and lets her go.
‘Did you eat chocolates tonight?’ An Yin Zhu asks. ‘Is that why you tasted sweet?’
Gu Tian Tian blushes bright red. She did eat chocolates for dessert. But she knows An Yin Zhu is teasing her.
‘You’re shameless,’ Gu Tian Tian says.
Gu Tian Tian can’t believe she lost her first kiss to An Yin Zhu.
‘Do you want me to kiss you again?’ An Yin Zhu asks, and leans closer to Gu Tian Tian.
Gu Tian Tian covers her lips, and An Yin Zhu pulls her hands away from her lips.
‘This is what shameless looks like,’ An Yin Zhu says.
An Yin Zhu kisses Gu Tian Tian for more than half an hour in the car.
After An Yin Zhu drives Gu Tian Tian back to the female dorms, in a blurry state, she manages to walk her embarra.s.sed self upstairs.
‘Tian Tian,’ Hao Ting calls for the nth time, and laughs. ‘Your lips has turned into a swollen sausage.’
Gu Tian Tian admits she’s not smart, but she knows when someone is teasing her.
‘Stop teasing me,’ Gu Tian Tian says, and hides under the bedsheet.
Hao Ting lies on the lower bunk bed. ‘Tian Tian, pick up your ringing phone.’
Gu Tian Tian looks at her phone, sees the monster An Yin Zhu’s caller ID, and rejects his call.
A second later, the dorm phone rings, and Hao Ting laughs again.
‘Tian Tian, someone is calling you again,’ Hao Ting teases.
When An Yin Zhu calls Gu Tian Tian’s phone again, she picks up.
‘What are you doing right now?’ An Yin Zhu asks.
Gu Tian Tian feels shy talking to An Yin Zhu while Hao Ting is looking at her and eavesdropping.
‘What do you want?’ Gu Tian Tian whispers.
‘I want to chat with you,’ An Yin Zhu says.
‘I don’t want to chat to you,’ Gu Tian Tian says. ‘I want to sleep. Don’t call me again.’
‘It’s only nine o’clock,’ An Yin Zhu says.
Gu Tian Tian doesn’t know how such a thick skinned person can exist.
‘If you call me again… I’ll…’ Gu Tian Tian says, but can’t spit out I’ll cry.
An Yin Zhu laughs hearing Gu Tian Tian’s embarra.s.sed tone. ‘Alright, tomorrow morning I’ll come pick you up, and I’ll take you to eat breakfast.’
Gu Tian Tian hangs up her phone, and sets her alarm extra early because she wants to escape the monster An Yin Zhu. Breakfast with An Yin Zhu? She was kissed for a long time tonight. Tomorrow morning, she isn’t going to fall for his trap again.
