365 Days Locked Love with a Mermaid - Chapter 5

These days since our marriage, I’ve been living in the guest bedroom, piling all my clothes and daily necessities there.

I walked into the guest room and opened the wardrobe to tidy up my things.

I don’t know how much time passed before Ji Huaixing’s voice suddenly sounded behind me.

“Getting your clothes… Are you still going to look for him?”

I spun around abruptly.

Ji Huaixing was suppressing the pain in his eyes, his smile tinged with bitterness: “It’s cold outside, remember… remember to wear more.”

With that, he turned and fled into the master bedroom, even closing the door behind him.

Three minutes later, I pushed open the master bedroom door, arms full of clothes.

Hearing the noise, Ji Huaixing looked up at me.

I glared at him, panting: “Ji Huaixing! Come help me! There’s too much stuff! I can’t carry it all!”

Ji Huaixing froze for a second, his eyes complicated: “What are you doing?”

I put down my things, hands on my hips: “Can’t you tell? Of course I’m moving into the master bedroom.”

As soon as I finished speaking, Ji Huaixing snapped his gaze up, staring at me in disbelief.

I shoved all the black clothes in the wardrobe to one side and hung up all my own clothes.

Ji Huaixing hadn’t said a word since just now, sticking close to my side without leaving.

The room was quiet.

Suddenly, Ji Huaixing spoke: “Xiaoyu, what’s this?”

I glanced at what was in his hand: “Oh, that’s my lip balm.”

Ji Huaixing blinked: “How do you use it?”

I didn’t even look up: “How else do you use lip balm? Just put it directly on your lips.”

“Oh, like… this?”

I looked up at him, just in time to meet his gaze.

Ji Huaixing’s dark eyes were shadowed, staring straight at me. His lips, freshly coated with lip balm, glistened like jelly.

They looked… very kissable.

Damn, how could a simple lip balm make him look so sexy?

My face grew hot, and I quickly looked away: “You… you have to press your lips together.”

“Hmm?”

Ji Huaixing responded softly: “Press them together? Like this?”

I couldn’t help but glance at him again.

He blinked, staring at me intently.

Damn it, I can’t hold back anymore.

I gritted my teeth, leaned in, cupped his face, and kissed him hard several times.

“Ah!” That felt good.

I let go and opened my eyes to look at him.

Ji Huaixing didn’t say a word, his eyes rimmed red, face covered in lipstick marks, clothes disheveled, head bowed meekly, looking just like a bullied, aggrieved little wife who didn’t dare speak up.

Seeing this, I suddenly felt embarrassed: “Ji Huaixing, what’s wrong?”

He pressed his lips together, looking forlorn, his voice low:

“A Merman from the deep sea can’t be kissed casually. If you kiss one, you have to take responsibility…”

Seeing him so pitiful, I almost swore an oath: “I’ll take responsibility, I promise! I’ll marry you!”

As soon as I said it, both of us were stunned.

I really must have been bewitched by him, saying whatever came to mind.

Ji Huaixing snapped his gaze up, all traces of grievance gone, his eyes full of possessiveness, staring at me as if he might devour me whole the next second.

Awkwardly, I cleared my throat and looked at him seriously: “Ji Huaixing, I was blind and foolish before, did a lot of things that hurt you, but from now on I won’t anymore. Ji Huaixing, I’ll love you well.”

This time, it was his turn to lean in, cupping my face. I lifted my head to meet him: “Trust me, okay…”

Before I could finish, he lowered his head and sealed my lips with his.

Mmm, this silly little fish is actually pretty good at kissing.

“Okay, open your mouth…”

In the midst of our passion, I heard him whisper this in my ear.
