Chapter 134 "Perhaps, it's time for us to get to know each other more deeply."
The night is as dark as ink, and the stars are hidden behind the thick clouds, leaving only a faint silver edge, quietly outlining the edge of the city.
In the most prosperous neighborhood of this city that never sleeps, in a high-end bar called "Night Never Ends", the lights are dim, people are shadowy, and the music surges like a tide, carrying a subtle ambiguity and expectation.
In the corner, two high chairs are placed side by side, but they seem to be the intersection of two worlds.
A man, wearing a custom-made suit and a neat yet stylish tie, his name is Lin Yi, and his brows reveal an unignorable heroic and profound look.
Sitting opposite was Xie Qinian, a man known for his coldness but who inadvertently revealed a gentle glow. His eyes were like the brightest stars in the night sky, inviting exploration and yet intimidating.
The meeting between the two seemed like a chess game carefully arranged by fate, with every move containing deep meaning.
-----
Lin Yi's fingers gently stroked the wine glass in his hand, and his eyes occasionally swept over Xie Qinian. That unintentional gaze was like a breeze blowing across the lake, which was light but left layers of ripples.
After three rounds of drinks, the atmosphere gradually heated up, and an indescribable tension quietly spread between the two.
Suddenly, Lin Yi's fingertips accidentally touched his tie. It was a dark blue silk tie embroidered with delicate silver-edged patterns, which complemented his suit.
He smiled slightly, as if to tease himself, and gently tugged at his tie. This simple action might be an unconscious act in the eyes of others, but in Xie Qinian's eyes, it seemed like a silent invitation.
Xie Qinian's eyes lit up instantly. He stared at Lin Yi, and an inexplicable impulse surged in his heart.
Raising his hand again, he bent his index finger in an almost ritualistic gesture, slowly approaching Lin Yi's neck, and finally gently resting on the delicate and distinct Adam's apple.
At that moment, time seemed to freeze, and all the noise around them faded away, leaving only the two of them and the tremor brought by that subtle touch.
Lin Yi's breathing became heavier. He felt the warmth from Xie Qinian's fingertips. It was an unprecedented feeling, both strange and familiar, as if he was trying hard to restrain some emotion that was about to burst out.
His breathing was slightly heavy, more like he was trying hard to restrain something...
His heart beat involuntarily faster, as if millions of butterflies were dancing in his chest.
At this moment, Xie Qinian's knuckles accidentally touched the crystal sweat beads on Lin Yi's neck due to the warmth in the room. Almost without thinking, he lightly lifted it up. This subtle movement was like throwing a stone into a calm lake, stirring up layers of ripples.
Out of curiosity, or perhaps some indescribable attraction, Lin Yi couldn't help but glance at the place where they touched. In an instant, his eyes froze, and his whole body seemed to be struck by lightning, standing still.
He just now... seemed to have an illusion that he had kissed the tie, or more precisely, the part that he had pulled with his own hands and that still had the warmth of Xie Qinian on it.
Although the distance between the two people did not shorten at all, the distance between their hearts was infinitely shortened at this moment.
Although it was difficult to see Xie Qinian's expression in the dim light, Lin Yi could feel the obsession and intoxication in his expression, just like someone who had quit smoking for many years and smelled the scent of nicotine again. It only took a moment to become deeply addicted and unable to extricate himself.
"Crazy..." Lin Yi whispered, his voice so soft that only he could hear it.
His fingertips trembled slightly, and he subconsciously bit his lower lip again. His canine teeth gently closed together, and his lips were tinged with a faint pink. This scene undoubtedly added a bit of irresistible sexiness and temptation to him.
Seeing this, Xie Qinian curled up a barely perceptible smile. He slowly stood up, his movements graceful and powerful, as if every step was stepping on Lin Yi's heartstrings.
He walked in front of Lin Yi, and the two were so close that they could hear each other's breathing.
"Lin Yi, sometimes, our boundaries are much more blurred than we think."
His voice was low and magnetic, and every word was like a carefully selected note, striking the depths of Lin Yi's soul.
Lin Yi looked up and his eyes met Xie Qinian's. At that moment, he seemed to see all his desires and fears answered in those deep eyes.
He did not escape or retreat, but gently placed his hand on Xie Qinian's hand. Their palms touched, conveying each other's warmth and emotions.
"Perhaps, it's time for us to get to know each other better."
There was a barely perceptible tremor in Lin Yi's voice, but it was also full of determination and expectation.
The night was still deep, but the atmosphere in the bar became unusual because of the decision of the two people.
They walked out of the "endless night" side by side and stepped into the vast night sky.
The street lights lengthened their figures and intertwined them, as if foreshadowing that a new story was about to begin.
Lin Yi and Xie Qinian, two souls originally in parallel worlds, finally overcame numerous obstacles and chose each other because of an inadvertent touch and ripples caused by a tie.
In the days to come, no matter what happens, they will walk hand in hand and write their own unique love story together.
And that dark blue tie became the first witness of their love. Whenever it gently brushed against Lin Yi's neck, it would evoke the tenderness and attachment in the deepest part of their hearts.
At this moment, their steps are brisk and firm, heading towards an unknown future, where more challenges are waiting for them and more beauty is waiting for them to discover.
