After Sharing Senses with the Paranoid CEO, the Infamous Starlet was Forced into Pampering Chapter 15

Chapter 15: Not… Not There

Seeing that Li Yanzhou was actually going to go through with it, Xia Mu instantly lost his composure. He cursed his own big mouth; if he had known this would happen, he really shouldn’t have teased the man.

Xia Mu was practically on the verge of tears. As Li Yanzhou’s fingertips hooked onto the edge of his underwear, Xia Mu’s body went rigid with tension. He roared at the top of his lungs:

“I—I’m still a patient! You can’t lay your hands on a patient!”

The sudden volume startled Li Yanzhou, causing his movements to stall. Xia Mu followed up with a whispered addition:

“Without my consent, this is called rape.”

“I don’t think I’ve even started yet, have I?”

Li Yanzhou looked at Xia Mu with amusement. The boy only dared to speak to him with his eyes squeezed shut.

“By the time you start, it’ll be too late!” Xia Mu retorted indignantly, his legs—which were pinned beneath Li Yan—beginning to struggle.

“Then what if I stop now?”

Li Yanzhou felt a playful urge to tease him. He released his grip on Xia Mu’s underwear and instead rested his hand on the boy’s slender waist. His soft fingertips lightly grazed the skin, sending a shiver through Xia Mu.

“That’s ‘cessation of a crime’ and ‘attempted rape,'” Xia Mu said, trying his best to remain calm.

“But you just said this face of mine is quite handsome and that you wouldn’t be losing out.”

Li Yanzhou maintained his posture, looking down to admire Xia Mu’s current state. He looked like a startled cat; now that his flailing limbs were restrained, all that was left was a sharp-tongued mouth issuing warnings that posed no real threat.

“That… that was just a kiss… and it was artificial respiration to save me.”

Xia Mu bit his lip. Strictly speaking, artificial respiration didn’t count as a real kiss.

“So you’re saying I can kiss you whenever I want, but I can’t do it?”

A smile remained in Li Yanzhou’s eyes. The hand on Xia Mu’s waist suddenly pulled upward. He tilted his head slightly, his lips almost brushing against Xia Mu’s ear.

“Since both are crimes, why don’t I just go for the ‘consummated’ version?”

The tip of his moist tongue slid over Xia Mu’s red, burning earlobe, licking it slowly. He exerted a little pressure with his teeth, grinding against the skin as if intent on leaving a mark.

Soft and slick.

The inexperienced Xia Mu was no match for Li Yanzhou. Moreover, his ears were one of his most sensitive spots. The heat of Li Yanzhou’s breath against his neck caused Xia Mu to tremble uncontrollably, and a few feline moans inadvertently escaped his lips:

“My ears… not there, stop…”

Xia Mu was startled by the sound of his own voice. He shrunk his neck and bit his lip hard, his restrained hands beginning to struggle violently.

His legs, which had been pinned down by Li Yanzhou, finally broke free. In his frantic movements, they ended up wrapping around Li Yan’s waist. This brought their bodies even closer together, making the posture increasingly ambiguous.

Xia Mu felt his mind go blank. He froze, not daring to move a muscle. He felt as though… as though he had bumped into something?!!

Xia Mu’s sudden initiative caught Li Yanzhou off guard as well. He let out a low chuckle and kneaded Xia Mu’s already softened waist:

“What if the other party is the one taking the lead? Does it still count as a crime? Hmm? … How can something consensual be called rape? Don’t you agree, Xia Mu?”

Even though Li Yanzhou’s deep voice sounded exceptionally pleasant and seductive to Xia Mu’s ears, the words still made him shudder. He bit his lip and shook his head.

Li Yanzhou used his eyes to trace every detail of Xia Mu’s face. In this clear light and close proximity, he couldn’t help but marvel that this face was truly beyond reproach.

The flushed cheeks, the furrowed brows, the high bridge of the nose, the burning earlobes, and those eyes squeezed shut in fear…

It was a bit of a pity; he had bullied him so much that he couldn’t see those bright, clear eyes.

Li Yanzhou teased Xia Mu for a long while until the boy was shaking with fear. Not wanting to play the villain any longer, he was about to straighten up and let him go when the phone on the table chimed with several notifications. It was likely the results of Xia Mu’s medical examination.

“Alright, I’m done teasing. Get some rest.”

Li Yanzhou stood up and tucked the covers around Xia Mu.

Only then did Xia Mu dare to peek with one eye to see if Li Yan was lying. Finding himself face-to-face with the man’s half-smiling gaze, Xia Mu instantly understood everything. He glared at Li Yan, his face flushing with anger as he said:

“Is it that fun to lie to me?”

Xia Mu looked far too cute like this. Li Yanzhou couldn’t resist pinching his cheek and replied with a smile:

“Lie to you about what?”

Xia Mu showed no gratitude at all, slapping Li Yanzhou’s hand away:

“You never intended to… to do it with me, and yet you kept talking about rape…”

The fear in Xia Mu’s heart finally dissipated. This man, Li Yan, truly had a wicked sense of humor.

Li Yanzhou looked at the red mark on the back of his hand where he had been slapped and raised an eyebrow. Despite his small frame, Xia Mu’s strength was actually quite considerable. However, he didn’t mind. He gave Xia Mu a flat look and said:

” I just didn’t want to do a patient. Once you’re better, that might not be the case.”

“I don’t want to do an old man like you either… cough, I mean, the b-boss.” Xia Mu nearly tripped over his own tongue, but he managed to recover quickly and smooth over his words.

“For today, and for when I drowned at the beach—thank you. But… I really don’t have any intention of looking for a Gold Master or a friend with benefits.”

Xia Mu tried to distance himself from Li Yan as he explained. Although Li Yan had indeed saved him twice, something about this man felt dangerous to his intuition.

Just like just now—suddenly pinning him down and spewing all those indecent words.

Li Yanzhou stared at Xia Mu’s non-stop babbling mouth, his mind wandering for a moment. He asked an out-of-the-blue question:

“Where is Xiatian?”

“Huh?” Xia Mu looked at him in bewilderment. Why the sudden question about the cat? Nonetheless, he answered, “Xiatian is at the company dorms. A friend is helping me feed him.”

“Why didn’t you bring him with you?” Li Yanzhou was surprised. He had held the cat even during the earthquake, so why hadn’t he brought him for this shoot?

“The distance is too great. He’d be uncomfortable in a carrier for so long, and the dorm has more space for him to move. Besides, the manager booked a flight for tonight; I’ll see him in the early hours of the morning.”

Li Yan continued to look at him in deep thought, as if he didn’t care about the answer at all.

“Did you even hear what I just said?”

“What?” Li Yanzhou snapped back to reality. They say pets take after their owners; Xia Mu’s bristling state reminded him exactly of Xiatian. “About Xiatian?”

Xia Mu was speechless. One look and he knew Li Yan hadn’t been listening. He was forced to repeat himself: “I said I’m not looking for a Gold Master or a friend with benefits.”

“Oh, that. I heard you.” Li Yanzhou stood up casually and grabbed his phone to head out. “You might not be able to go back tonight. The doctor said to stay for observation for a few more days.”

“But I’m already fine.”

Xia Mu frowned slightly, asking in confusion. He didn’t feel any discomfort in his body anymore.
