The posture was really awkward. Nie Zheng moved uncomfortably in Chong Jianzhi's arms. She covered her chest with one hand and carefully pulled away Chong Jianzhi's big hand that was on her waist.

"itch……"

The voice was so soft and small that it almost slipped out of her throat. Chong Jianzhi felt his chest getting hot and his hands that were clasping her waist were sweating.

He couldn't help but lean over and smell the faint orange scent on her body, but he felt that there was something more in the scent, a slightly astringent taste that belonged to a young girl.

Chong Jianzhi was a little out of control. His hand slid towards Nie Zheng's waist. When he touched the exquisite curves of her body, his other hand unconsciously reached into her skirt.

Too thin, she is too thin.

She's so thin that it's kind of heartbreaking.

Nie Zheng's eyes were confused. His strange and strong touch made her at a loss.

Every cell in my body seemed to be trembling.

But this...something is so wrong.

Nie Zheng took a deep breath and put her hand on Chong Jianzhi's chest, trying to escape from this strange atmosphere.

Chong Jianzhi's gaze was strong and predatory. He felt like something was pressing on his chest and he couldn't breathe. It seemed like he was angry, but there was something hidden beneath the anger, a burning desire.

"Brother, why are you——"

Before I could finish the words "drinking coffee in the middle of the night", a hot breath suddenly approached.

Chong Jianzhi pinched her thin chin like an angry trapped beast, and rolled his fingertips over her tender but somewhat pale lips until they were slightly swollen and turned into a chaotic bright red.

A predatory kiss came down forcefully, like a punishment; he kissed her quickly and deeply, as if he wanted to swallow her whole.

The other hand tightly grasped her slender waist and pressed tightly against his hard and strong chest.

Messy breathing, rolling Adam's apple, subtle changes in private parts... Nie Zheng raised her head and was forced to accept it. She became more and more confused in the chaos. This kiss... why?

I have secretly replaced the aphrodisiac incense in his room with the soul-soothing incense. He should not be affected by the incense again and do such...outrageous things.

Is it a punishment?

He knew clearly about their relationship, yet he still humiliated her with such a kiss.

Her chest ached slightly, and she was detached from everything at the moment. Her eyes became dull and her eye sockets were slightly red.

He kneaded her soft body wantonly, but found that she was not controlled by lust like before, but... became a little sad?

Her eyes were so depressed that Chong Jianzhi stopped his frantic movements. The room suddenly became very cold. He was silent, wondering why he had lost control like this.

Hatred grows wildly like weeds, but in the dense hatred, too much secret love is born that cannot be controlled.

He didn't allow himself to be like this, but he couldn't control it...

Chong Jianzhi's eyes finally regained clarity. At the same time, the lights finally came on. He clenched his fists with great restraint, finally let go of Nie Zheng, and shouted coldly, "Get lost."

The word "get out" was like a pardon. Nie Zheng hurriedly broke free from her brother's arms, adjusted her nightgown which was almost revealing, and ran out of the room in a panic.

That kiss tortured her all night. At night, whenever Nie Zheng closed her eyes, she could only see her brother's oppressive face.

Does he hate himself so much?

The result of tossing and turning was that I woke up the next day with dark circles under my eyes.

Mother Wang handed the bowl of chicken soup to Nie Zheng, but Nie Zheng had no appetite so early in the morning. When she saw the chicken soup, she instinctively took two steps back and said that she was not hungry.

"I drank it." Chong Jianzhi looked up from the magazine. "Look at how thin you have become. Do you want others to think that I am abusing you?"

Nie Zheng was about to say something, but when she saw him, she thought of the kiss last night... So she suddenly fell silent, took the soup handed to her by Wang Ma, frowned, and drank it all down.

On the first day of school, Nie Zheng was filled with anxiety, thinking that the new school would be the same as the previous ones, and that her classmates and teachers would not be friendly to her and might even target her. She had a somewhat dull personality and was indeed not very likable.

But she never expected that the head teacher and classmates were so enthusiastic towards her, and even the principal waited outside the classroom door to greet her. It was like seeing a ghost. Nie Zheng was flattered and felt that the scene before her was a little too absurd.

After school, Nie Zheng called Bai Chaochao. The other party was very surprised and asked her how she transferred to Shengyuan Middle School. The students who could enter this school were either from rich or noble families and were all well-known figures in Ningjiang.

Nie Zheng had no choice but to confess to Bai Chaozhao: "My brother arranged it..."

"Wow, Zhengzheng, your brother is so rich?" Bai Chaochao suddenly paused, "That's not right, he is so rich, why did he let you live such a hard life before? He is too bad!"

"No... It hasn't been easy for him these years. You know I was adopted, so I don't have a blood relationship with my brother. After my adoptive parents passed away, he had no obligation to take care of me."

Bai Chaochao seemed to understand, but still concluded: "Anyway, he treats you badly. I don't like you as a brother."

When I got home in the evening, Chong Jianzhi had not returned yet.

Aunt Wang said, "Xiao Zheng, the young master has an appointment tonight, so he won't be back for dinner."

Nie Zheng nodded: "Whether he comes back or not, you don't need to inform me..."

Anyway, she is just living under someone else's roof.

"The young master asked me to inform you." Aunt Wang handed Nie Zheng the bowl and chopsticks, "He said that when he's not back, you're not allowed to run around, and don't go looking for those bad friends."

"They are not bad friends." Nie Zheng was very concerned about Chong Jianzhi saying this about her friends, and there was a hint of anger in her tone.

Before Wang Ma could say anything, the phone on the other end rang. She thought it was Chong Jianzhi calling. She felt a little unhappy, but she still answered the phone patiently. She was about to say "brother" when she heard Fan Minzhe's voice on the other end.

"Zheng Zheng, how are you? Why did you suddenly transfer to another school?"

Fan Minzhe's voice sounded a little tired and a little lost.

"I'm fine, how are you doing?"

"...Some problems occurred in my parents' company. Things are a bit tricky." Fan Minzhe didn't want to make Nie Zheng worry, and added, "But it's almost resolved now, you don't have to worry."

After hearing about Fan Minzhe's experience, Nie Zheng suddenly thought of Chong Jianzhi's cold face. She couldn't help but think about it, and she was worried that Chong Jianzhi might have caused the trouble in Fan Minzhe's family...

"Zheng Zheng, do you... miss me?"

Nie Zheng was stunned for a moment, then replied, "I miss you guys a lot, I miss Chao Chao, and I miss you too."

"I miss you as well."

Compared to Nie Zheng, Fan Minzhe's words of missing her seemed more specific and emotional, which made Nie Zheng feel a little confused. He was clearly with Bai Chaochao... Why did he care about her so much?

"I've made up my mind, Nie Zheng. The two of us... and Chao Chao, let's go to the same university, okay?" Fan Minzhe's tone became more serious. "Don't you want to be a perfume maker? We can go to Dunhuang, to Quanzhou... I'll accompany you to find the perfume recipe, I'll accompany you to realize your dream, what do you say?"

Hearing Fan Minzhe's solemn promise, Nie Zheng suddenly felt a little dazed.

Leave Ningjiang? Leave Chong Jianzhi? Thinking of this, Nie Zheng suddenly remembered Chong Jianzhi's cold face. He looked down at her and said to her, your life no longer belongs to you... You owe him too much. Nie Zheng didn't dare to dream. How could she live as she wanted?

"Zheng Zheng?"

"Let's talk about it later." Nie Zheng replied softly.

Hearing Nie Zheng's ambiguous answer, Fan Minzhe did not continue to ask, but cleverly changed the subject: "Zheng Zheng, today is your birthday, do you... have any plans?"

Nie Zheng thought of what Wang Ma had just said to her, and said to Fan Minzhe calmly, "No arrangements... Do your homework."

"How about Chao Chao and I come find you. It's still early, shall we go eat hotpot?"

"Don't bother."

Nie Zheng quickly refused, not only because of Chong Jianzhi. In fact, she did not have no plans. On her birthday, Nie Zheng wanted to go see her parents.

When they arrived at the cemetery, it was past opening hours, so Nie Zheng had to climb over the fence at the back door. As it grew darker, she found it difficult to walk along the path she knew so well by heart. When she finally arrived at her parents' tombstone, Nie Zheng stood opposite in silence for at least ten minutes. Her throat became increasingly dry. She opened her mouth and after a long while finally called out "Mom and Dad."

Taking out the long-forgotten agarwood bracelet from her bag, Nie Zheng once again thought of everything that happened on the day of the car accident. This bracelet... was originally meant for Chong Jianzhi, but...

Tears welled up in Nie Zheng's eyes, and the bracelet felt warm in her palm: "Mom, my brother is back, but he still hates me and dislikes me. I will probably never have the chance to give this bracelet to him. Today I brought it to you and Dad. That secret... let it be buried in my heart forever."
