Chapter 295
Seeing Li Yan's awkward and strange expression, Wen Qianyi suddenly remembered the cat's position, which made her feel a bit embarrassed, but also amused. Isn't this a perfect chance to punish him? A divine intervention! It's like helping Yu Xiaodi punish him as well!
"Mimi... be good."
When Li Yan saw her reaching over to grab the little cat, a sly glint flashed in her eyes, and he sensed danger. Sure enough, as she got a bit closer, she didn't take the cat away but instead stroked its head and body, clearly encouraging it!
This left him a bit frustrated yet secretly pleased because as Wen Qianyi reached over, she got even closer; she was almost squatting right next to his knee. This made the view at her neckline more tantalizing. Especially with her petting movements down below, it made him quite excited. At that moment, if someone were to walk in, whether from behind him or behind her, they'd surely think they were... doing that.
The little cat, perhaps because Li Yan wasn't its owner or perhaps it didn't know what was underneath, dug its claws in hard enough to make Li Yan feel a slight pain. He could only whisper, "Hey! Aren't you going to take it away? It's going to eunuch me!"
Wen Qianyi held back her laughter, "You deserve it! Who told you to be lustful even to a female cat..."
Li Yan was speechless; seriously, who is the lustful one here!
Seeing he had nothing to say, Wen Qianyi also knew that area was sensitive. If it really caused damage, it would be hard to explain, so she hurriedly reached over to take the kitten.
She was quite skillful, and when she picked it up, she only held the cat's body without touching Li Yan. However, with just a gentle lift, she couldn't take it away as its claws were still clinging to Li Yan's pants. She glanced at Li Yan's hands, covered in oil, touching the cat would be troublesome, and touching his pants was just embarrassing. So, she had to do it herself.
Sizing up the situation, Li Yan sat in a way she wouldn't touch any sensitive spots, but due to embarrassment and shyness, she was extremely careful. One hand stabilized the cat, while with the other, she focused on where it was clawing at his pants, reaching over to gently detach the claws.
With the owner stepping in, the little cat cooperatively let go of its grip. Then, embarrassed and flustered, Wen Qianyi quickly let go of the "pants," hugged the cat, and tried to stand up.
Unfortunately, because she was squatting and leaning forward, and having spent the afternoon running at the gym, her legs were weak. Just sitting down, she hadn't felt anything, but getting up, she noticed her legs felt tired and weak. Running for an hour often had that effect, especially when descending stairs. Although it was generally bearable, she wasn't expecting it now, and holding the cat left her with no free hands to support herself!
Thus, as Wen Qianyi was about to get up, her legs gave way, and she suddenly fell onto Li Yan!
Taking a breath, Li Yan was also surprised by the sudden change. His reaction was quick, but his hands were full of oil, making it inconvenient to reach out to support Wen Qianyi. And Wen Qianyi was holding a cat, most likely to scratch both faces if they collided. Wen Qianyi, being tall, could bump her head or face against his chin.
Li Yan stayed calm in a crisis, showing his agile skill. Although his hands were oily, his arms weren't a problem. So, he spread them wide, protecting Wen Qianyi's body from falling. As she toppled over, he leaned back, his backward momentum cushioned by the sofa's back, allowing him to lay back on the sofa.
The entire set of movements flowed smoothly. With his guidance and arm protection, Wen Qianyi didn't hit his chin or crash into the sofa's back. Once he lay back on the sofa, she fell on top of him. At this point, her fall's impact had mostly dissipated, and she was merely lying on Li Yan without hitting anyone.
Cats are nimble creatures. Even if they are pets, when their owner suddenly falls, they get startled and think it's their fault. In this case, the little cat broke free from Wen Qianyi's arms and ran off to hide in the bedroom while they fell.
...
Even though it all happened so quickly, once stable, Li Yan's arms closed in a bit, basically hugging Wen Qianyi. At this moment, Wen Qianyi had her hands propped on Li Yan's chest.
Once she realized the absurdity of the position, it seemed as though she was pouncing on Li Yan like a beast, almost sitting on his waist.
"That damn Mimi!"
It wasn't Li Yan's fault, just her own slip. Naturally, the blame shifted to the little cat Mimi, who couldn't speak in its defense.
Wen Qianyi cursed a small cat named "Mimi," while Li Yan was pressed by two large objects also called "Mimis." Hearing her words, he replied, "Damn Mimi? Is it that the Mimis are too big, causing Earth's gravity to be too great, thus making you unstable?"
After understanding Li Yan's words, Wen Qianyi grew red with embarrassment and anger! This guy dared to tease her?
Throwing away her ladylike demeanor, she playfully threatened, "I'll bump you to death!"
Seeing her fiercely coming at him with her head, the hair already brushing his face, Li Yan took the rare chance for such close contact with Qianyi—not missing a chance! Decision made, he turned his head sharply, meeting her lips instead!
Despite her annoyance, Qianyi was still mindful of not actually intending to clash heads with Li Yan. The speed and force of her head bump were limited.
If she could see, she might have been aware of Li Yan's actions. But when she leaned in, her hair covered even the light, making her miss his motion. She aimed for his forehead but encountered his lips instead!
Somewhat dazed from the collision, Wen Qianyi regained clarity. Yet, Li Yan had adeptly prevented forehead clashes and avoided nose bumps, now enjoying a passionate kiss.
Previously, the closest contact between Li Yan and Wen Qianyi might have been an accidental press in an elevator full of female coworkers (see Chapter 104 for details). That was due to the cramped environment, and they were in public. Now, it was different. Snuggling on the couch, in a house with only the two of them.
The situation naturally involved fewer concerns. Li Yan, not overthinking, embraced Wen Qianyi tightly, her hair fragrant from shampoo, enveloping and surrounding them as he kissed her passionately.
Wen Qianyi's initial dizziness quickly faded, realizing she appeared to throw herself at him. If others saw it, they'd think she forced the kiss!
The discovery nearly made her faint in frustration. The steamy kiss, the firm embrace, and the tight squeeze left her completely melting! She had no strength to resist or reject.
Of course, women are emotional creatures. If not moved by a man, they would resist regardless. As for Wen Qianyi, even concealing her feelings, if she had no affection for Li Yan, why let him stay over twice at her place? In the elevator, she could have considered it harassment instead of passively allowing it.
From passive, to accepting, to reciprocating, from clumsy to awkward to somewhat understanding... Wen Qianyi let go during this affectionate encounter until she resurfaced, renewed energy in her body, cheeks crimson, hurriedly got up, and lightly pinched his waist.
At this moment, Wen Qianyi didn't know what to say, her heart still racing, breath quickening, face in an endless flush. The only thing she wanted was for Li Yan to leave quickly so she could find solace on her bed in the bedroom.
Li Yan, thrilled with the unexpected outcome, also refrained from overstepping boundaries. Respecting her unspoken wishes, he quietly sat up and tidied his clothes.
While also adjusting her attire, Wen Qianyi suddenly looked at him and asked, "Your hands!"
Li Yan, puzzled, lifted his hands, "What's up?"
"Did you wipe oil all over my clothes? You jerk! I'll kill you!" Wen Qianyi growled ferociously, raising her voice with a sharp squeal. (Streaking for Monthly Passes!
