After Transmigrating into a Professional Bootlicker, I Messed Up - Chapter 72.2

Ji Chi’an felt that if Lin Luo teased him any further, he might have to abandon all restraint and give in to his desires.

After cooling off with a long shower, Ji Chi’an finally emerged, loosely wrapped in his robe, only to find Lin Luo curled up in a corner of the bed, seemingly fast asleep.

Walking over quietly, he tried to shift her to a more comfortable spot on the bed. But as soon as he touched her, she woke up, squinting at him through sleepy eyes and mumbling, “Ji Chi’an?”

Her voice was even huskier than before, carrying a seductive warmth.

“Mhm, what is it? Do you feel uncomfortable?” Ji Chi’an asked softly, gently placing her under the covers. Despite his usual distaste for anything unclean, he didn’t seem to mind that she hadn’t washed up.

Ironically, she minded more than he did, scrunching her face in disgust. “I feel sticky and gross.”

“Alright, I’ll run a bath for you.”

He gently stroked her head, gave her a light kiss on her forehead, then fetched her robe and pajamas, heading to the bathroom to run the bath. But before he could finish, Lin Luo had followed him in. Just as he was about to turn on the shower, she wrapped her arms around his waist from behind, resting her head against his back and murmuring something he couldn’t quite catch.

Deciding to take matters into his own hands, he sat down on the edge of the tub, pulled her into his lap, and wrapped his arms around her. “What’s wrong?” he asked gently.

Under the bathroom light, he noticed her eyes were rimmed with red, and he panicked. “Luo Luo, what’s wrong? Are you upset again?”

Lin Luo buried her face in his chest as though hiding from the world, mumbling softly, “I have a secret to tell you.”

Ji Chi’an gently wiped her tears with his fingertips. “Alright, tell me.”

“Listen, I’ll tell you quietly… I’m actually from another world. Did you know that? Another world! And my mission in this one was to make you like me a lot, so I could go back home.”

Ji Chi’an’s whole body froze, her confession hitting him like a thunderbolt. He’d known there was something mysterious about her, even suspected things like “soul possession.” He didn’t mind unusual circumstances and could accept them all. But what shocked him most was learning her mission had been to make him fall for her.

She needed him to love her, and once he did, she’d leave and return to her world.

Ji Chi’an’s hands went numb, and he felt as though the world was collapsing. All the love and trust he’d built up over 27 years seemed about to shatter, and his heart ached so intensely it hurt to breathe.

Sensing his sudden stiffness and the shift in his emotions, Lin Luo shifted uncomfortably. She tightened her hold around his neck, snuggling closer to him as she softly murmured, “But I like you, so I won’t leave. I want to stay here with you until we’re both a hundred years old. Will you keep liking me, forever and ever?”

Sleepy and drowsy from the wine, her long lashes drooped, her red lips pouting slightly as she spoke with a childlike innocence. Everything she said seemed like casual, dreamy musings.

At that moment, Ji Chi’an felt as if he’d been lifted from the depths of despair to the heights of joy. His hand, trembling, traced her face as his deep, dark eyes filled with emotion, even becoming a little red at the corners.

He gently ran his fingers over her brow, whispering, “Alright. We’ll live to be a hundred together. I’ll love you forever and ever.”

She had spoken so lightly, so unthinkingly, but he understood now: she had been doing everything for love, just as he had.

No wonder she seemed like a different person. No wonder he couldn’t always hear her thoughts, and no wonder she acted like a “little liar” sometimes.

She’d been carrying all of this on her own, silently shouldering this burden. This silly girl must have bottled it up for so long, only letting it slip while drunk.

Though he had once been her “mission,” he held no resentment. Fate had brought her here, and she’d chosen to stay with him. That was all the reason he needed to love her with everything he had.

He lightly pinched her earlobe. “Little trickster, were you just trying to fool me?”

“I wasn’t.” Still sleepy, Lin Luo pouted and wriggled in his arms, dissatisfied.

“Then prove to me that you’re not lying.”

Lin Luo frowned, thinking, before gently lifting herself and placing a kiss on his lips.

As she leaned in, Ji Chi’an wrapped one hand around the back of her head and the other around her waist, pouring all of his love into the kiss. Although Lin Luo found herself breathless, she didn’t resist, simply melting against him like a soft kitten, occasionally making a quiet, delicate sound.

Ji Chi’an’s breathing grew heavier, his gaze darkening. Stroking her swollen lips, he asked hoarsely, “Luo Luo, are you willing?”

Lin Luo didn’t answer, only returning to his neck and playfully biting his Adam’s apple once more.

In that moment, Ji Chi’an could only think two words: “It’s over.”

He turned on the hot water, letting the steam fill the room, warming his entire body as his heart overflowed with both tenderness and passion. In that cool autumn night, a new warmth blossomed.
