Chapter 2233 Love Trapped in the Cycle of Fate 31

Raindrops outside the window were hitting the glass. Xie Guan had been staring at the math problem in front of him for ten minutes, his pen tip drawing meaningless circles one after another on the draft paper.

He scratched his hair irritably, crumpled up the paper and threw it into the half-full wastebasket.

"wrong."

Xie Guan muttered quietly and glanced at the clock on the wall. It was 3:15 in the afternoon.

Fifteen minutes have passed since Jinchen said, "Come over after class."

This idiot.

Xie Guan forced himself to focus back on the question, but his ears couldn't help but catch the sounds outside the corridor.

When the sound of the key turning in the door lock finally rang out, his back straightened unconsciously and the tip of the pen poked a small black dot on the paper.

"I brought coffee and croissants." Jinchen's voice rushed into the small apartment along with a gust of cold wind.

He shook the water droplets off the umbrella and placed the wet umbrella on the rack by the door.

Xie Guan didn't look up, pretending to focus on the question in front of him, his tone was steady, and he didn't seem to care.

"Didn't you say you'd be there by half past two?"

Jinchen chuckled and placed the paper bag and coffee cup on the edge of the desk, just within Xie Guan's line of sight.

The aroma of coffee immediately spread, mixed with the faint scent of agarwood on Jinchen's body.

Xie Guan secretly took a deep breath. The smell seemed to penetrate directly into his blood vessels, making his fingertips slightly numb.

"There is a temporary group discussion." Jinchen took off his coat, put his hand on the back of the chair, and then sat naturally on the edge of the bed next to Xie Guan.

"What, you missed me?"

"Who missed you!"

Xie Guan immediately retorted, snorting on the spot, "I'm just... used to doing things according to plan."

Jinchen smiled noncommittally and opened his laptop.

He was wearing a dark grey turtleneck sweater today, which made his jawline more distinct.

Xie Guan caught a glimpse of his profile out of the corner of his eye and tilted his head slightly.

"Focus on your homework, future junior." Jin Chen teased without even looking up, his fingers tapping on the keyboard, "I'm here specifically to be your study supervisor."

Xie Guan forced himself to shift his gaze back to the exercise book.

But Jinchen's presence was too strong. The sound of him typing on the keyboard, his occasional cough, and even the rhythm of his breathing were all like tangible things, constantly pulling at Xie Guan's attention.

Twenty minutes passed, and Xie Guan found himself unconsciously drawing the profile of Jinchen on the draft paper.

He suddenly stopped writing and crumpled the paper into a ball in frustration.

too weird.

When I lived in that apartment building before, no matter how noisy the upstairs and downstairs were, even the sound of Zhao Chunmei chopping fish in the middle of the night had no effect on me at all.

Now, my ears are quiet, but my mind is not.

"Can't do it?"

Jinchen's voice suddenly rang in his ears, and Xie Guan was so scared that he almost jumped up from his chair.

"Who can't do it?" Xie Guan said fiercely, feeling his cheeks getting hot.

Jinchen had been standing behind him without him noticing, leaning over his exercise book.

"This question." Jinchen's breath brushed past Xie Guan's ears.

Jinchen reached out and took Xie Guan's pen and wrote a few lines of formulas on the draft paper.

His fingers were long and strong, with distinct knuckles and neatly trimmed nails.

Xie Guan found himself staring at the hand in a daze until Jinchen returned the pen to him and his fingertips lightly brushed the back of his hand.

"Do you understand?" Jinchen asked with a smile in his voice.

"…Um."

The scent of agarwood on Jinchen's body was even stronger at this moment, mixed with the freshness of rain and the bitterness of coffee, forming a unique smell that made Xie Guan's heart beat faster.

"Then continue." Jinchen rubbed Xie Guan's hair and sat back on the bed.

carry on.

Xie Guan gripped the pen tightly.

...keep on shit.

Xie Guan found himself even more unable to concentrate.

His gaze kept drifting towards Jinchen, watching his focused expression with a slight frown on his face in front of the computer screen.

"Xie Xiaoguan." Jinchen suddenly closed the computer and said in a low voice.

Xie Guan suddenly came back to his senses and found Jinchen looking at him with a half-smile.

"You stared at me for five minutes and didn't write a single word."

Jinchen stood up and walked slowly towards Xie Guan, "It seems that my presence really affects your studies."

Xie Guan: “…”

Xie Guan felt a surge of shame.

This also shows that Jinchen has eyes behind his back.

Jinchen had already walked behind him and suddenly reached out and took the exercise book in front of him.

"do not move."

Xie Guan froze in place and felt Jinchen's hands covering his eyes.

The sudden plunge into darkness made my other senses more acute.

He smelled the faint fragrance on Jinchen's wrist, heard his steady breathing, and could even feel the warmth of his chest through the fabric of his clothes.

"What are you doing?"

Xie Guan tried to make his voice sound impatient, but the tail end of his voice trembled uncontrollably.

Jinchen didn't answer. One hand was still covering his eyes, while the other hand slid to the back of his neck, and his thumb gently pressed the skin there.

Xie Guan couldn't help but shudder, and his whole body went limp.

"Someone seems unable to learn."

Jinchen's voice was close to his ear, and his warm breath sprayed on Xie Guan's earlobe, "Do you need my help?"

"You can kiss and hug me. That's what you said, Xie Xiaoguan."

Xie Guan opened his mouth to retort, but only a faint sound came out.

Jinchen's thumb continued to draw circles on the back of his neck, and the tingling sensation spread all the way to the end of his spine.

"I do not need."

Xie Guan struggled in vain, but his body betrayed his words and he unconsciously leaned back into Jinchen's chest.

Jinchen laughed again and suddenly removed the hand that was covering Xie Guan's eyes, but before Xie Guan could adapt to the light, his lips were on his ear.

It was a touch so gentle that it could hardly be called a kiss, but it made Xie Guan tremble as if he had been electrocuted.

"Use all your energy for random thoughts," Jin Chen's voice was low and seductive, "and you won't have time to think about anything else."

The next second, Xie Guan felt himself being turned and his back hit the edge of the desk.

Jinchen placed his hands on both sides of his body, trapping him between himself and the desk.

Xie Guan looked up and met Jinchen's eyes, which were burning with a kind of heat that was both familiar and unfamiliar to him.

"Jinchen." He called softly, with a pleading tone in his voice that he himself was not aware of.

Jinchen didn't give him the chance to continue speaking, and lowered her head to kiss his lips.

The kiss started out softly, like a test, but soon became passionate and long.

Xie Guan felt his rationality melting away, his hands unconsciously climbing up Jinchen's neck, pulling him closer.

The papers on the desk rustled with their movements, and a pen rolled to the ground with a crisp sound.

But Xie Guan had no time to care.

When Jinchen finally let him go, Xie Guan was panting and his lips were slightly numb.

I felt my mind go blank, and all the anxiety and stress seemed to be taken away from my body with this kiss.

Jin Chen gently brushed Xie Guan's swollen lips with his fingers, and said with a satisfied smile in his voice, "Try to see if you can concentrate on the questions."

His tone was very serious, as if he really only cared about Xie Guan being able to learn it.

Xie Guan glared at him, but the previous annoyance was no longer in his eyes.

Xie Guan straightened his messed up clothes and sat back in his chair.

Jinchen returned to the bedside, turned on the computer again, and silence returned to the two of them.

But this time, Xie Guan found that he could really focus on the problem in front of him, and ideas for solving the problem emerged like a spring.

He secretly glanced at Jinchen and found that he was staring at the screen intently, and his profile looked particularly soft under the warm light of the desk lamp.

Xie Guan felt a warm current in his chest and quickly lowered his head to concentrate.

So he didn't notice the smile on Jinchen's lips at all.
