Our Love, A Public Service - Chapter 55

Chapter 55

"You better." Chi Jia enjoyed acting spoiled in front of Jing Rui, having learned that after a little playful banter, Jing Rui would always put aside her pride and try to appease her.

Jing Rui's hand lingered on Chi Jia's cheek, caressing her soft skin. Lying together, sharing the same pillow, their eyes met, filled with affection and longing.

After a moment, Jing Rui softly said, "Let's start over."

After careful consideration, she wanted to start a relationship with commitment, a relationship with a future.

Jing Rui had always avoided letting relationships tie her down, but somehow, she was now hopelessly entangled with this woman.

Since that was the case, she would accept it.

Jing Rui's words echoed Chi Jia's own thoughts. When had they become so in tune with each other?

Chi Jia gazed at Jing Rui adoringly. Before, no matter how many times they slept together, she had always felt a distance between them. Now, after keeping their distance and calming down, she finally felt like she was getting to know Jing Rui.

They had focused too much on physical intimacy before, neglecting communication.

"As if we've ever started anything." Chi Jia muttered, inadvertently breaking the romantic atmosphere, her talent for ruining the mood as sharp as ever.

A mixture of love and exasperation, that was how Jing Rui felt about Chi Jia. Her first heartfelt confession, and this was Miss Chi's response?

Jing Rui rolled over, pinning Chi Jia down, and gently pinched her nose. "Can you be a little more romantic? Don't play dumb when you shouldn't."

"How am I not being romantic? How am I playing dumb?" Chi Jia asked knowingly, enjoying their banter, but seeing Jing Rui's exasperated expression, she couldn't help but smile.

Having chosen to no longer hide or avoid her feelings, Chi Jia felt happier and more at ease than before.

Once you decided to do something, it wasn't as difficult as you imagined. Like now, accepting her feelings for Jing Rui.

What was meant to be would be.

A young woman's smile, perhaps lacking maturity, but with a unique radiance and innocence. Jing Rui had met countless people, experienced countless things, but in this dazzling world, Chi Jia's smile was the one she found most captivating and unforgettable.

"Don't always look so serious around me. Smile more like this, I like it."

Jing Rui had always noticed that Chi Jia's brightest smiles were never directed at her, which secretly made her jealous. That night, when Chi Jia had introduced Qin Dong as her boyfriend with such a radiant smile, Jing Rui's heart had ached, yet she had to maintain a smile on her own face.

Jing Rui's sudden heartfelt words made Chi Jia feel awkward. She mumbled, "Don't say such cheesy things, I'm not used to it."

"Cheesy?" Jing Rui smiled, her eyes sparkling with allure. She gently lifted Chi Jia's chin with her finger. "From now on, we both need to get used to this."

It was ironic; two people with rich relationship histories, now learning how to be in a serious relationship.

Indeed, they had to get used to this, because their relationship had changed; they were a couple now. Although Chi Jia hadn't officially agreed, she had already accepted the "girlfriend" label in her heart, ever since she hugged Jing Rui at the airport yesterday.

"Okay." Chi Jia didn't say anything more, wrapping her arms around Jing Rui in a silent embrace.

A comforting warmth.

Chi Jia was touched by Jing Rui's heartfelt words. She wasn't as good at expressing her feelings with words as Jing Rui, so a quiet, sincere embrace was a better way to convey her feelings.

Embracing each other honestly, their mutual torment finally came to an end.

Chi Jia still felt uneasy about the future, but Jing Rui's sincerity gave her the courage to move forward. She hugged Jing Rui tighter, hoping she had made the right choice this time.

Warm in bed, embraced by a beautiful woman, Chi Jia didn't want to get up, clinging to Jing Rui.

Jing Rui smiled, kissing Chi Jia's hair. Besides sex, there were indeed many other things they could do together.

Chi Jia had always been weak against Jing Rui's advances, especially now that the vixen was being so gentle and considerate, everything she liked, she couldn't resist.

Early in the morning, they shared intimate moments in bed.

8:40 AM.

"Hey! I have to go to work…"

Jing Rui held Chi Jia tight, refusing to let go. "Don't go to work today, stay with me~"

A mature woman acting coquettishly was lethal. Chi Jia was defeated, genuinely tempted to skip work.

Another five minutes passed.

Jing Rui's kisses trailed from Chi Jia's cheek to her lips.

Before completely losing herself, Chi Jia pushed Jing Rui away. "I haven't finished my work, I have to go to the office today…"

"Then how about finishing what we started last night?"

Chi Jia blushed. Other couples were romantic and sweet, but their relationship was always… explicit, rarely pure for more than three seconds.

"Mmm… Jing Rui…" Chi Jia's body tensed; she was incredibly sensitive to Jing Rui's touch. "Stop… you pervert… mmm…"

"Weren't you the same last night?" Jing Rui's hand slipped inside Chi Jia's nightgown, her skin as hot as her flushed cheeks. Jing Rui smiled, whispering in Chi Jia's ear, "How can I be a pervert with my own girlfriend?"

Chi Jia bit her lip; Jing Rui's touch was making her lose control. She tried to pull Jing Rui's hand away, but her body was weak, a soft moan escaping her lips.

"When did I agree to be your girlfriend…?"

"I said you are, so you are."

"That's not fair."

"You're the one being unfair." Jing Rui was now on top of Chi Jia. "Kissing me, then pretending nothing happened. Chi Jia, you have to take responsibility for this…"

"Fine, I'll take responsibility." Chi Jia's face burned even hotter, her heart pounding in her chest. Finally, unable to resist any longer, she wrapped her arms around Jing Rui's neck and kissed her eagerly.

As soon as their lips met, Chi Jia knew work was out of the question, completely forgetting about the time.

Desire took over.

These past few months, Chi Jia had missed her terribly, missed being with her, not just the sex, but being intimate with her.

Early morning passion.

Their last time together had been on Christmas Eve, a night Chi Jia remembered vividly, a night of unrestrained passion, both of them clinging to each other, thinking it was their last time.

Although it had been several months, they were still perfectly in sync with each other.

They had barely taken off half their clothes when their phones started ringing incessantly.

Jing Rui grabbed Chi Jia's hand, stopping her from answering the phone, and continued undressing her.

Chi Jia also didn't want to stop, her hands cupping Jing Rui's face as she leaned in for another kiss.

But before their lips could meet.

The insistent ringing continued, both their phones now ringing simultaneously, completely ruining the mood.

Chi Jia sighed. "Let's answer the phones first."

That morning, although they both wanted it, it wasn't meant to be.

Chi Jia, bombarded with calls, reluctantly went to work. Jing Rui, having just returned to L City, also had a mountain of work to deal with, taking a day off was too extravagant.

But they had plenty of time ahead of them, many things they could slowly do together.

Thinking of this, Chi Jia and Jing Rui smiled at each other.

"I'll let you off the hook for today." Jing Rui kissed Chi Jia's lips. "I'll pick you up after work tomorrow, let's have dinner together."

The gift she had bought for Chi Jia last year could finally be given away.

April, with its frequent drizzling rain, a constant, unending rain that could last for days.

After work, the rain suddenly intensified. Chi Jia stood at the entrance of her office building, patiently waiting. She used to hate rainy days, but today, she was actually enjoying the night view in the rain.

A young couple walked past, sharing an umbrella, a simple, heartwarming scene. Chi Jia warmed her hands in her pockets, occasionally glancing around, no longer feeling the usual loneliness.

The night was hazy, the wet ground reflecting the city lights. Chi Jia, feeling bored, took out her phone to take pictures of the scenery, and just then, the person she was waiting for walked into her frame.

Jing Rui, dressed in black, exuded an aura of power and elegance, more captivating than the dazzling city lights as she walked towards her in the rain.

Seeing Jing Rui, Chi Jia's face lit up with a smile, and she quickly snapped several pictures.

"Xiao Jia."

It was Qin Dong who spoke first.

Chi Jia turned around; Qin Dong was offering her his umbrella. "I saw you didn't bring one, take mine."

"No, thanks, someone's picking me up." Having broken up with so many people, Chi Jia felt the most guilty towards Qin Dong; he was a good guy, but she had used him.

"Your boyfriend?" Qin Dong's voice was tinged with sadness. Since their breakup, he had been silently waiting for Chi Jia, waiting for her to change her mind, because he felt their breakup was too sudden, too abrupt.

Chi Jia took a step back as Qin Dong stepped closer. After a moment of hesitation, she decided to be straightforward. "I'm already with someone else, I'm sorry."

Qin Dong was speechless.

The rain continued to fall.

Jing Rui walked over to Chi Jia and immediately recognized Qin Dong, Miss Chi's ex-boyfriend… Her expression remained neutral as she took Chi Jia's hand, holding it tightly, and said softly, "Let's go."

Qin Dong stood there, frozen. Even though they were both women, he could sense something between them…

This explained why Chi Jia was always distracted whenever Miss Jing appeared.

After walking a short distance, Jing Rui released Chi Jia's hand, and Chi Jia, feeling the sudden emptiness, instinctively reached for it again. And she could sense that Jing Rui was angry.

They walked side by side in silence for a while, then Chi Jia spoke, "I just ran into him after work…"

Jing Rui's reply was a curt "Mmm."

Still angry, it seemed. Chi Jia, shamelessly, took Jing Rui's hand again, interlacing their fingers, just like any other couple strolling down the street.

Jing Rui stopped, turning to look at Chi Jia, a sudden worry gripping her heart, a worry that Chi Jia would choose a man again, leaving her behind.

Only when you truly cared would you feel insecure.

"What's wrong?"

Jing Rui hesitated, then said, "Let's get in the car."

As soon as they were in the car, before Chi Jia could even fasten her seatbelt, Jing Rui pulled her close.

A passionate kiss followed, a kiss filled with possessiveness, more intense than the rain outside.

Chi Jia closed her eyes, turning slightly to deepen the kiss, her hands moving to Jing Rui's face, lost in the moment.

The more insecure you felt, the stronger the possessiveness, both for Jing Rui and Chi Jia.

After a minute, Jing Rui finally released Chi Jia's lips. "Whether you believe it or not… I love you."
