The Only One With a Mouth in the CEO Novel - Chapter 65: Wanting to Kiss Her Again So Soon...

Chapter 65: Wanting to Kiss Her Again So Soon…

Haven’t washed up yet, can’t sleep.

A strand of consciousness struggled to emerge from the blank emptiness of her mind.

Ye Jin lifted her heavy eyelids and found a cup of warm honey water being offered to her lips.

She compliantly took a couple of sips, raised the back of her hand to touch her burning cheek, and said with deep regret, I’ll never drink again.

Mm.

Gu Chenxi continued to respond.

He’s speaking quite fluently today, Ye Jin thought randomly.

You need to distinguish the relationship between us, she continued, her thoughts drifting.

Gu Chenxi asked softly, What’s our relationship?

Boss and employee, Ye Jin said with a slight nasal tone.

And?

And adopted siblings. This couldn’t stump her.

Gu Chenxi: What do you call me?

Of course, adopted brother.

Is Gu Chenxi stupid?

As soon as Ye Jin finished speaking, she heard Gu Chenxi chuckle softly twice, seeming quite pleased.

What’s there to be happy about?

Asking her such a simple question, Gu Chenxi really should get his head checked.

You’re really drunk.

His voice carried a sigh of helplessness.

I’m not. That innate stubbornness in Ye Jin surfaced again as she argued, If you don’t believe me, test me with some brain teasers.

Gu Chenxi: …I don’t know any.

This was beyond his knowledge.

Haha.

Ye Jin laughed at him and turned the tables: You’re the one who’s drunk, since you don’t even know any brain teasers.

Gu Chenxi: …

Indeed, there’s no reasoning with a drunk.

Why did you suddenly stop talking again? Ye Jin couldn’t help asking.

After just this brief moment of silence, her mind was already starting to go blank again.

Ye Jin proactively tried to save face for Gu Chenxi: How about this – I’ll ask you a brain teaser so you can prove yourself.

Mm.

Gu Chenxi thus responded again.

One second, two seconds, three seconds.

Damn.Ye Jin covered her head and said sadly, ‘I can’t think of any either.’ I think I might be drunk too.

Gu Chenxi was amused and chuckled quietly.

Everyone has one head and one mouth.

But only Ye Jin could always say things people would never expect.

Guan Yan came over and interrupted them: Both your rooms are ready. Go wash up.

Ye Jin immediately perked up, but her limbs weren’t quite obeying her now.

Gu Chenxi helped her stand up.

Gu Chenxi was considerably larger than Ye Jin, so when they stood up, Ye Jin’s field of vision was filled entirely with Gu Chenxi’s broad, slender shoulders.

Maybe you should carry me on your back, she said, getting the idea to take advantage.

Gu Chenxi nodded, took Ye Jin’s arms and turned to place them over his shoulders.

Guan Yan also came over to help.

When her view suddenly elevated, Ye Jin felt a bit dizzy, so she naturally rested her head on Gu Chenxi’s shoulder.

Is this the legendary Pacific Ocean-wide shoulders?

A bit bony.

Ye Jin shifted uncomfortably.

Then she started staring at his chin, thinking it looked quite handsome.

But she’d already taken advantage once – it wouldn’t be appropriate to do so again so soon.

So Ye Jin could only blink and take a few more glances to feast her eyes.

When they reached the guest room, Ye Jin’s feet touched the ground and she became slightly more awake.

She went into the bathroom herself, washed her face with cold water, then proceeded to wash up and change into pajamas. Before leaving, she carefully checked all the pajama buttons again.

No mistakes.

Every button was perfectly aligned with its corresponding buttonhole.

Ye Jin opened the door and found Guan Yan and Gu Chenxi still standing outside the bathroom.

I’m fine, Ye Jin responded to their concern, then added politely, Thank you for your trouble.

If not for her unfocused eyes, Gu Chenxi would have thought she had sobered up.

Then you should get some sleep right away.

Guan Yan breathed a sigh of relief and helped Ye Jin to bed.

Within a minute, Ye Jin was fast asleep under the covers.

Guan Yan and Gu Chenxi left the guest room together.

Guan Yan said to Gu Chenxi, I’ve prepared your room too, go get some rest.

It had been a long time since Gu Chenxi last stayed here, but Guan Yan had always kept his room ready.

Gu Chenxi nodded and returned to his room.

The Border Collie stayed with the Samoyed in the pet room on the first floor, which was larger than Ye Jin’s bedroom.

The Border Collie was a dog who had seen it all.

Even without Ye Jin by its side, it quickly lay down and fell asleep.

The system was still concerned about Ye Jin, so it continued remote monitoring.

There was another person who shared the system’s concern.

Two hours after Ye Jin fell asleep, Gu Chenxi brought a cup of warm water to check on her.

The guest room was dimly lit by wall lamps.

Ye Jin had changed her sleeping position but remained sound asleep.

Gu Chenxi set down the water cup, pulled up a chair beside Ye Jin’s bed, planning to leave once the water cooled.

Truthfully, Gu Chenxi rarely had opportunities to look directly at Ye Jin.

Let alone gaze at her for so long like this.

He became lost in his thoughts, almost unaware of the passing time.

Until Ye Jin woke up thirsty.

Rubbing her eyes as she sat up, she saw Gu Chenxi and asked, Why are you still here?

Gu Chenxi didn’t answer, instead handing her the water, only to find it had gone completely cold.

Thank you.

Ye Jin drank half the cup in one go, then got up to use the bathroom.

When she came out of the bathroom, she found Gu Chenxi waiting for her at the door.

Don’t worry, I’m much more sober now. Ye Jin waved her hand, signaling for him to leave.

But she noticed Gu Chenxi hadn’t moved.

Driven by her drunkenness, Ye Jin asked a question she was very curious about: How did you train your jawline?

Gu Chenxi: …?

Ye Jin sighed: I want to have defined lines like yours too.

That way she could look cool even without wearing glasses.

Thinking this, Ye Jin touched her chin with some melancholy.

Gu Chenxi hadn’t expected Ye Jin to have such concerns and was momentarily speechless.

Eh? Why aren’t you saying anything? Ye Jin suddenly felt confused, questioning, Weren’t you just talking to me a lot?

Then she hissed: Was I dreaming just now, and dreamed you were talking to me?

But I wasn’t sleeping earlier, how could I dream without sleeping?

Though still drunk, Ye Jin remained quite logical.

After thinking seriously for a moment, she concluded: So I must be dreaming right now.

Gu Chenxi: …

Very logical, but only half logical.

Gu Chenxi simply helped her back to bed.

Once in bed, Ye Jin didn’t lie down immediately.

She stared at Gu Chenxi’s jaw for a while, ultimately unable to resist the urge to take advantage of the situation, and beckoned him to come closer.

Gu Chenxi didn’t know what she wanted to do and approached with confusion.

Then her chin was cupped by someone’s hands.

Ye Jin stroked her beloved jawline for a while—smooth and pleasant to the touch.

It would be even better if it were on her own face.

She wondered how handsome she would be then.

Lost in thought and firmly convinced she was dreaming, Ye Jin lost track of time and boundaries.

Baby. Gu Chenxi’s voice was low. Had enough?

Ye Jin immediately withdrew her hand, staring at him in horror.

Damn, this was turning into a nightmare.

She was dreaming that Gu Chenxi had confessed and dropped the act.

Seeing her reaction, Gu Chenxi chuckled softly.

Just as he suspected—Ye Jin had long known he was ‘Yan Rong’.

Truth be told, Gu Chenxi had already reached his limit.

Now that he was sure Ye Jin knew, he couldn’t hold back any longer. He leaned in and kissed his girlfriend.

A light kiss.

Only tenderness and reverence.

Gu Chenxi pulled back slightly, continuing to watch her.

Ye Jin touched her lips, utterly bewildered.

Why did this dream feel so real?

So adorable.

Gu Chenxi already wanted to kiss her again so soon.

But Ye Jin said, You’re not good at kissing.

What’s wrong with it?

Ye Jin: That’s not how they kiss in novels.

How should it be done? Gu Chenxi moved closer.

Ye Jin held out her hand to him.

Gu Chenxi placed his hand against hers, but she shook it off.

Ye Jin said, Pay the tuition.

Gu Chenxi didn’t have his phone or cash, so he took off his wristwatch and placed it in her palm.

But as soon as she got the watch, Ye Jin turned around, pulled up the covers, and went to sleep.

Gu Chenxi: ?

Buried completely under the blankets without looking up, Ye Jin slowly mumbled, First, I’ll teach you a lesson about scams.

Gu Chenxi couldn’t help but laugh wryly.

He wasn’t someone who laughed easily, but Ye Jin always managed to amuse him effortlessly.

Seeing she was about to fall asleep again,

Gu Chenxi tucked the blankets around Ye Jin before leaving.

Under the covers,

The watch in Ye Jin’s palm still carried the warmth of its previous owner.

Drowsy and distressed, she thought: That didn’t seem like a dream after all.

Early the next morning, Gu Chenxi took Border Collie out for a walk and morning run.

After returning, showering, and changing clothes, he went to wake Ye Jin.

After just one knock, the door opened.

Ye Jin stood fully dressed inside, politely and formally saying, Good morning, President Gu.

…So stubborn.

Clearly, she’d been soft last night.

Gu Chenxi took out his phone and typed with one hand.

Yan Rong to Ye Jin:

Morning. Did you sleep well last night?

The email sent, and Ye Jin’s phone dinged.

Gu Chenxi slowly lifted his eyelids.

Ye Jin: …..…
