Obsession’s Edge

Chapter 15

After Luo Wentao and the others left, Jian Yishi went into the rest room to see if Lin Jinse was awake.

As soon as he walked into the inner room, his steps unconsciously became lighter. The girl on the sofa curled up with a warm yellow soft light covering her body. Her eyes were closed and she was still sleeping soundly.

Her long black hair was scattered among the sofas, making her palm-sized face as white as jade. Her long and thick eyelashes were wet and trembling slightly uneasily, and there was an obvious tear trail at the corner of her eyes.

Jian Yi felt her heart tighten inexplicably. Was she crying again?

She was still mumbling something, and Jian Yishi couldn't help but take a step closer, squat down, and put his head close to her mouth, wanting to hear what she was talking about in her sleep.

"Go away and leave me alone!" She suddenly shouted.

Jian Yishi was startled. He straightened up quickly and looked at her. She actually opened her eyes, with tears filling them like two pools of clear water.

When Jian Yi met her eyes, he should have immediately looked away and stood up, far away from her, but he didn't. He seemed to be drowning in her clear and crystal eyes.

There was a sudden chill on her face. She stretched out her hands to hold his face. There was a bit of coolness in her hands, and they were as soft as magnolia branches.

Jian Yishi was completely stunned. He just stared at her blankly and saw large, clear pearl-like tears rolling down from her eyes. He couldn't help but want to reach out and wipe them away for her.

But the next second she put her arms around his neck, crying and shouting: "Don't go, sister is wrong, don't go, don't leave me..."

Her warm breath blew against his neck, as if it was electrified, numbing and itching.

Jian Yishi's mind was completely shut down, it went blank, she couldn't think of anything, and she was at a loss.

Lin Jinse's tears seemed to be endless. She hugged his neck and kept crying. Soon his clothes were wet with her tears.

Listening to her crying so sadly, and hearing her crying for him not to leave, Jian Yi felt her heart aching inexplicably, and couldn't help but reach out and hug her, letting her cry to her heart's content. At the same time, she comforted her in a low voice: "Okay, I won't leave, I won't leave you..."

The first time he heard her cry was the first night she came home.

Late that night, he went to the kitchen to find food. When he came back, in the quiet night, he heard a sound like a kitten whimpering from her house.

Unable to control his legs, he actually walked over, pressed against the door, and listened. After listening for a long time, he was sure that it was her suppressed sobs.

He has known for a long time that she is a little liar.

On the surface, she pretends to be nonchalant and always smiles. She whispers "Okay" and "Thank you" to everything others say. In fact, she has been suppressing herself and only dares to shed tears secretly when no one is around.

Tonight, he actually asked her to drink for him on purpose.

Under the influence of alcohol, people can become their true selves, tear off their masks, and start from the heart whether they want to cry or laugh.

He hoped that she could completely release herself and cry whenever she wanted, but he didn't expect that she would cry so hard and feel so uncomfortable.

Watching her burst into tears, sobbing and unable to control herself, one moment she was crying, "Don't go, don't leave me, please..." and the other moment she was crying and blaming herself, "It's all my fault, it's all my fault..."

Jian Yishi's heart ached terribly, and she suddenly regretted that she shouldn't have let her drink so much.

Jian Yi didn't know what she could do. At first, he just held her and let her cry. Later, he patted her back awkwardly, and only said one comforting word back and forth: "I won't leave, and I won't leave you behind! It's not your fault, it's an accident, it's all accidents..."

Lin Jinse cried for a long time. In her daze, she vaguely knew that she was dreaming. This was not the first time she dreamed about Jin Nian, but this dream was too real. She could feel the heat on the young man's body and even feel the violent beating of his heart.

No, this is wrong! But she was too attached to this warm embrace and broad and solid shoulders. She cried so hard that she didn't bother to think about whether this was a dream or reality. She just kept crying.

It wasn't until Lin Jinse had cried enough and her tears had dried up that she held the boy's shoulders and slowly raised her head.

The boy in front of him had an extremely handsome face, with thick and long eyelashes, dark and deep eyes, a high nose bridge, and soft and thin lips. I don't know if it was because of being drunk, but Lin Jinse felt that his dark eyes seemed to be filled with tenderness.

But soon Jian Yishi pushed her away. The tenderness in his eyes disappeared, replaced by a look of disgust. He stood up, turned around, and his voice was as cold and lonely as ever: "Are you sober?"

Lin Jinse still had a severe headache and was a little dizzy, but she also knew clearly that she had mistaken Jian Yishi for Jinnian, and she hugged him and cried for a long time.

But since he hated himself so much, why didn't he push him away? He could push her away easily. Lin Jinse's head hurt more and more as he thought about it, and he didn't bother to think about it any more.

In the final analysis, I still did something wrong. I shouldn't have been unable to control myself and drank so much alcohol. I should have used the alcohol to go crazy and hug him.

"I'm sorry, I..." Lin Jinse stuttered and wanted to explain, but before she could say more than two words, she felt her stomach churn. She hurriedly put on her shoes, rushed directly to the private bathroom, squatted in front of the toilet, and started vomiting.

Jian Yi was still stunned in place. He could still feel her remaining warmth in his palms, arms and shoulders. His heart was still beating vigorously in his chest, bang bang bang, one after another, almost as if it was about to jump out.

It wasn't until Lin Jinse's painful vomiting sound came from the bathroom that Jian Yi came back to her senses. She took a tissue box and walked into the bathroom. She squatted down beside her, pulled out a few tissues and handed them to her, "Do you feel bad?"

Lin Jinse took the tissue, wiped his mouth, raised his head, looked at him, nodded, "Uncomfortable."

Jian Yishi's face was cold: "Then you still drink so much wine and you can't stop me."

Lin Jinse lowered her eyes and said nothing. Looking at her appearance in Jian Yishi, she unconsciously softened her tone: "Do you still want to vomit?"

Lin Jinse shook his head, "I can't spit it out."

Jian Yi helped her up and said, "Go home."

"Okay." Lin Jinse obeyed obediently.

Jian Yi went to the back room and took her coat from the sofa, then came out and handed it to Lin Jinse, "Put it on."

Lin Jinse vomited twice and sobered up a lot. She saw that he was only wearing a thin shirt, revealing the slender and straight collarbone under the collar, which cast a cold light under the shadow of the lamp.

"I'm not cold, you can put it on." Lin Jinse refused.

Jian Yishi took a step forward without saying a word, unfolded her coat directly, put it on her shoulders, and said coldly: "Your clothes are covered in your saliva and tears. It's disgusting. I won't wear it."

Lin Jinse: "..."

"I'm sorry..." Lin Jinse apologized to him again, and at the same time felt the warmth of his body brought by the clothes draped around his shoulders, as well as the good smell of him.

Jian Yishi looked at her and said, "Don't always be sorry. I'm sorry. It's annoying."

Lin Jinse put on his coat, "Thank you."

In short: "..."

After leaving Wangjiang Tower, Jian Yishi stopped a car and asked Lin Jinse to get in first. He got in from the other side and sat next to her.

It was exactly nine-thirty at this time. There were a lot of vehicles on the road, there were many traffic lights, and taxis were coming and going. Lin Jinse was prone to motion sickness. Now that she had drunk alcohol and was a little drunk, she felt as if her stomach was churning. But she gritted her teeth and endured it.

Jian Yi suddenly noticed something was wrong with her. There were big drops of sweat on her forehead, her face turned red, and she clenched her hands into fists, as if she was trying her best to endure something.

"Stop!" Jian Yishi suddenly shouted.

The driver stopped the car and threw him a hundred-yuan bill. "No need to look for it."

Then he pulled Lin Jinse out of the car and said coldly: "Why don't you tell me if you feel uncomfortable? Why do you have to endure it?"

Lin Jinse didn't care much, rushed to a tree by the roadside, and started vomiting again.

When Jian Yi saw that she was almost vomiting, he took out a black handkerchief from his pocket and handed it to her.

Lin Jinse took it and understood that it was his own handkerchief. He hesitated and wiped his mouth, thinking that he would just buy a new one and give it to him as compensation.

Jian Yi saw her wiping her mouth and stuffing the handkerchief into her pocket, hooking her lower lip and saying, "Sit here and wait for me for a while, and I'll buy you a bottle of water to rinse your mouth with."

Lin Jinse did feel a strange taste in his mouth. He felt dizzy and weak, so he stopped being polite to him and nodded, "Okay."

After Jian Yishi helped Lin Jinse sit down on a chair next to the tree, she crossed the road and went to the convenience store opposite.

Lin Jinse entered the convenience store while watching Jian Yi. After a while, he came out of the convenience store with a white plastic bag in his hand.

But as soon as he stepped down the steps and was about to walk towards the sidewalk, five men blocked his way.

Lin Jinse was a bit short-sighted and the distance was so far that she couldn't see clearly who those people were. She could only vaguely see that some of them had red hair and some had yellow hair. At first glance, they were not good people.

Then Jian Yishi seemed to glance in Lin Jinse's direction, and followed them to the alley behind the convenience store.

Lin Jinse was anxious. Without thinking, she got up and crossed the street, heading for the alley behind the convenience store. When she reached the convenience store, she heard the sounds of fighting and swearing.

However, Lin Jinse was not that stupid. He did not rush forward directly. Instead, he hid by the wall of the convenience store and looked into the alley to see the situation clearly.

Jian Yishi really got into a fight with those five people. Fortunately, judging from the current situation, Jian Yishi had the upper hand and beat the five gangsters to pieces. However, Lin Jinse still quietly called 110 with his mobile phone and called the police.

After calling the police, Lin Jinse held her phone tightly and nervously paid attention to the situation in the alley.

Suddenly there was a flash of silver light, and Lin Jinse saw that one of Huang Mao had actually pulled out a knife, while Jian Yi was being entangled by the others, with his back to Huang Mao, and could not see what was going on behind him.

What if Jian Yi was stabbed during the game? What about the provincial fencing championship? I heard that this is an important competition that affects his entry into the national team.

No, he can't get hurt!

Seeing Huang Mao looking for an opportunity to s***h Jian Yi's left arm with a knife, Lin Jinse didn't know where he got the courage. He rushed over and hugged Jian Yi from behind, when the sharp knife scratched her arm.

Lin Jinse suddenly let out a cry of pain, and her left upper arm was in burning pain.

Jian Yishi turned around, kicked off Huang Mao's hand with a flying kick, stretched out her hand to take Lin Jinse into her arms, looked down at her, her sword-shaped eyebrows were tightened, and her eyes were as cold as frost.

"I'm fine." Lin Jinse covered the wound on her left upper arm and smiled sweetly at him, "It doesn't hurt at all."

Jian Yi felt as if the knife had cut into his heart, which was extremely painful.
