I like it so much I can't stand it

"The danger I'm referring to is the danger we're in now."
Jiang Wang's suppressed voice carried through the darkness, making Ji Mian almost gasp for breath. She tried to push against his chest with her other hand, but he remained motionless like a stone, firmly holding her in place.
She pressed herself against the wall, forced to tilt her head back, her eyes wide with terror as she struggled. However, she was completely unable to break free from the out-of-control Jiang Wang.
Jiang Wang savored that soft, sweet taste, again and again, insatiable. He was obsessed with her scent, wanting to entangle her relentlessly. When enveloped in her fragrance, when his fingers touched her soft body, a surging, lingering desire completely overwhelmed his will.
Jiang Wang's body was burning hot, especially his lower body. His actions, which had initially been tentative, became an endless demand, like a thirsty person on the verge of death, instinctively drawing strength to relieve the heat.
But the closer they got, the more unsatisfied and agitated he became.
His movements grew increasingly rough. Ji Mian's lips and tongue tingled from his caresses, and her scalp tingled. The noise outside became mere background noise.
Perhaps annoyed by her movements, Jiang Wang's large hand gripped her waist. The delicate, soft feel of his hand was addictive, and he subconsciously rubbed her tender skin through the thin fabric.
It felt like an electric shock exploded on her side, a tingling sensation shooting up to the top of her head. Ji Mian couldn't help but tremble. "Jiang... Jiang Wang, don't..."
Her sweet, tearful voice made Jiang Wang's blood rush to his head, almost causing him to reveal his true colors.
He abruptly released her, taking a step back and bumping into a shelf behind him.
Various items fell down with a clatter, creating a mess on the floor, mirroring Ji Mian's current mood. The people outside had all left sometime earlier, leaving the dark room deathly silent. Jiang Wang's heavy breathing was particularly noticeable, and the air seemed to still hold the lingering heat and ambiguity of the previous encounter.
Ji Mian hadn't recovered from her shame and anger. Her mind was buzzing, and she didn't want to face Jiang Wang at all. She flung open the storage room door and rushed out.
Her wrist was suddenly gripped tightly by Jiang Wang from behind.
Ji Mian gritted her teeth angrily, refusing to turn to look at him. "Let go of me! I don't want to see you!"
Before she could finish speaking, Jiang Wang pulled her back into the storage room, and the door slammed shut.
"This way you can't see me."
Jiang Wang's voice was still a little hoarse, but noticeably clearer than before.
Ji Mian breathed a slight sigh of relief, but was still afraid that what had just happened would happen again. She cautiously shrank back, then secretly felt for the doorknob and gripped it tightly.
If anything seemed amiss, she could push the door open and run out.
Jiang Wang had completely calmed down now. He clearly saw her actions in the darkness. The little girl who had been protecting him just moments before was now fiercely wary of him, and he felt a pang of disappointment.
But seeing her cowering there like a frightened rabbit, eyes wide and alert, he couldn't resist teasing her.
"Don't be afraid of me."
"I'm not afraid!"
She raised her voice to amplify her words, but her voice trembled uncontrollably, and her knuckles, gripping the doorknob, turned white from the force.
Jiang Wang knew he had done something deserving of a slap, that he shouldn't laugh, but he couldn't help but chuckle softly.
"Why can you still laugh?!" Ji Mian was furious at his shamelessness, her eyes reddening. "You bastard!"
"Hmm..." Jiang Wang responded casually, but noticed her increasingly reddened eyes, her lips tightly pressed together, her small face contorted, as if she were about to cry.
Jiang Wang's smile vanished instantly. "Don't cry..."
"I'm not crying!" Ji Mian's tears streamed down her face, but she stubbornly insisted, figuring it was too dark to see anyway.
"Please don't cry, okay? Please, my darling, I beg you, you can scold me, you can hit me, just don't cry."
The moment Ji Mian cried, he panicked, unsure what to do, and instinctively reached out to wipe her tears.
Ji Mian felt Jiang Wang approach and immediately tensed up. "Don't touch me! If you come any closer, I won't be polite!"
"How will I be polite?" Oh no! At this moment, Jiang Wang wanted to laugh again, but he was afraid of driving Ji Mian away, so he tried hard to suppress his apology. "I really know I was wrong, please don't cry, okay?"
Ji Mian was so angry she forgot to cry, her little mouth accusing him, "How could you do this?!"
"What did I do?"
"You...you did that kind of thing, how can you just say 'I'm sorry' so easily and act like nothing happened?!"
Ji Mian started again. Even in arguments like this, she was extremely serious, her guard down, her face completely earnest.
Jiang Wang couldn't stand her serious look. He wanted to tease her the moment he saw her, to make her angry and then hold her in his arms to coax her.
Just thinking about it made his heart itch. “Oh,” he said casually again, “What did I do?”
Ji Mian was exasperated. “I’m not talking to you anymore, I’m leaving!”
As she spoke, she turned the doorknob and opened the door.
The door was only slightly ajar when she felt a slight warmth behind her, followed by a force slamming the door shut.
Ji Mian was in darkness and couldn’t see anything, but through the slight warmth behind her and Jiang Wang’s breath on her head, she could tell their position.
She was leaning against the door, and Jiang Wang was pressing down on it from behind, trapping her between them.
Jiang Wang could clearly see their position. His gaze fell downwards, and his blood began to rise uncontrollably.
Neither of them spoke for a moment; silence filled the darkness.
Ji Mian could feel Jiang Wang very close behind her; she could even hear his breathing becoming heavier and hotter. She dared not move, afraid of touching him.
"Don't press down on me."
Jiang Wang didn't speak, only his slightly heavy breathing could be heard, and Ji Mian felt a little flustered.
"What are you doing? Don't trap me, I'm leaving."
Jiang Wang still didn't speak.
She was a little anxious, pressing her face against the door, looking back, her eyes round and bright, glistening with a layer of clear moisture from her anxiety.
"Jiang Wang, say something."
"Hmm," Jiang Wang's Adam's apple bobbed, "I want to hug you, is that okay?"
"You're crazy!"
Ji Mian cursed, just then Zhang Keke's voice rang out from outside—
"Ji Mian, are you in there?" she called as she headed towards the bathroom.
Ji Mian said she was going to the bathroom, but hadn't returned for a while, and hadn't taken her phone. She knew Ji Mian wasn't comfortable in these kinds of situations, and not seeing Ji Mian for so long inevitably made her a little worried.
Upon hearing Zhang Keke's voice, Ji Mian felt like she'd found a savior. Without thinking, she immediately replied, "Keke, I'm here."
Only after calling out did she belatedly realize that appearing in this place with Jiang Wang seemed somewhat inappropriate.
She warned him in a low voice, "I'll go out first. You can come out later."
"No."
"Jiang Wang!"
"I'll go out with you."
This guy is so annoying!
Ji Mian had already heard Zhang Keke's footsteps approaching. In her haste, she found Jiang Wang's hand braced against the door and leaned down to kiss him.
Jiang Wang: ...
He could have completely ignored that little bit of force, but the soft touch of her lips on his arm made him pull his hand back and release the door.
"Pretty fierce," Jiang Wang chuckled, his thumb unconsciously rubbing his arm where she had bitten him in the darkness. "Are you a puppy? Why do you keep biting me?"
Ji Mian ignored him. Taking advantage of the door opening, she quickly opened it and slipped out, then swiftly pulled it shut behind her, slamming Jiang Wang shut behind her.
Jiang Wang: ...

After what had just happened, Ji Mian wasn't in the mood anymore. She made an excuse to leave. Zhang Keke sensed something was wrong, but since she wouldn't say, she didn't press further.
When she left Tianhe Bar, it was completely dark, and the bar street was bustling with people. The entire street was bathed in neon lights, and loud, chaotic music emanated from all directions, creating a lively and boisterous atmosphere.
Many people were coming and going, mostly young people who enjoyed playing around. Several boys and girls walked past Ji Mian, playfully teasing each other. One boy, walking sideways and joking with his friends, took a few steps back, about to bump into Ji Mian.
Before Ji Mian could dodge, a slight breeze brushed past her ear as an arm reached behind her shoulder and shoved the boy away.
“Are you blind?”
Ji Mian pursed her lips, pretending not to hear, and continued walking. After a while, she couldn't hold it in any longer and finally stopped.
She turned around, looking at Jiang Wang who was a few steps behind. “What are you doing?”
Jiang Wang had been following her for a while, not expecting her to stop. He paused, then said, “I have something to tell you.”
“What?”
“Come here.”
“No, just say it.”
Jiang Wang looked at her, remained silent for a few seconds, then chuckled softly.
"If you don't tell me, I'm leaving."
"Tell me!"
Before he finished speaking, he took two long strides to Ji Mian, grabbed her wrist, and pulled her into a decorative antique-style phone booth on the street.
The glass door closed, shutting out the noise of the entire street. Neon lights shone through the glass, reflecting a dazzling halo in the small phone booth.
Ji Mian instinctively backed away, trying to create distance between them. But the phone booth was cramped; even as she retreated, she could still smell Jiang Wang's unique, clean, and aloof scent.
"Couldn't you say it outside?"
Jiang Wang stared intently at her, his dark, bright eyes reflecting the shimmering neon lights outside, exceptionally captivating.
He suddenly smiled, his eyes crinkling, and licked his lips mischievously. "Fine, you want the whole street to hear me say, 'Ji Mian, I like you so much I can't stand it anymore?'"
