At this moment, the atmosphere in the room froze, and time seemed to stand still. The body heat of both individuals was escalating to its limits.
Jada was lying on top of Ren, their faces only a few centimeters apart, allowing them to clearly feel each other's breaths.
Both were stunned, neither having anticipated this turn of events.
Their figures were reflected in each other's eyes, and Jada could distinctly feel the rapid beating of Ren's heart.
Ren couldn't sense her heartbeat, but he could feel the pressure of their closeness.
Their inner turmoil began to stir as time passed.
However, how many men could restrain themselves in such a situation?
Certainly, Ren found himself unable to.
Consequently, he had the typical male reaction.
Ren's response also made Jada immediately aware, snapping her out of the eerie atmosphere.
Many people think girls don't understand certain things? On the contrary, some girls know more than boys, enough to be considered experts.
Although Jada wasn't particularly knowledgeable, she had once, driven by curiosity, watched some relevant material with her roommates in college.
Even though they were separated by two layers of clothing, reality was reality, and the sensation became increasingly obvious. Coupled with Ren's handsome face, it made her breathing quicken, almost pulling her into a whirlpool.
However, she managed to come to her senses.
She hurriedly propped up her body, attempting to escape this awkward position. But the more frantic her thoughts, the more likely awkward incidents occurred.
"Umm,"
Just as Jada managed to get up, she unexpectedly fell hard onto Ren again.
The sudden impact made Jada grunt.
However, the sensation wasn't pleasant for Ren below.
Pain, that was his only thought.
The abrupt impact was hard for any man to bear.
With her newfound experience, Jada wasn't hurried this time. She slowly got off Ren, her skin flushed from the ordeal.
Both sat up on the bed, the room filled with an awkward silence as neither knew what to say.
Ren's gaze wandered around, then he changed the subject: "It's gotten late, huh? I'll turn off the light!"
"Mm..."
The room darkened, and the atmosphere grew quiet. With their backs to each other, they could even hear each other's breathing.
At this time, Jada, with her eyes closed, tried to sleep but found it impossible.
For some reason, the thought of having another person in her bed, the events that had just transpired, all her thoughts were filled with Ren.
She had enjoyed her time with Ren recently; coming home to a table full of dishes he cooked, having someone to talk to when she felt weary, someone to care for her.
His comics had also helped at the office.
Unknowingly, had Ren become an integral part of her life?
What exactly was he to her now?
A friend?
Yueyue's father?
An actor they hired?
Or perhaps…
Her husband?
Jada couldn't help but feel puzzled, but she knew that if Ren left her life, she would probably struggle to adjust.
Maybe she should just settle?
Jada thought, after all, they both already had a child.
And their recent interactions had been pleasant; marriage seemed like a good option.
"Jada, are you asleep?" Just then, Ren asked softly.
This caused Jada's heart to race.
Asking if she was asleep at this time, what was he planning? Was he taking advantage of the night…
With that thought, Jada inexplicably remained silent.
"Seems like you're asleep..." After a moment, Ren spoke again, then there was no more sound.
This made Jada even more curious, feeling an urge to ask, but ultimately, she did nothing.
Meanwhile, Ren sighed in relief.
Actually, just now, he had been on the verge of confessing his feelings.
But the moment he spoke, he decided against continuing his confession.
It wasn't that he chickened out, mainly... there was no right atmosphere.
In Ren's view, at least he should give Jada some gifts when confessing... Thinking about it, the day they first met seemed like a good choice, and it wasn't too far from now…
With that thought, Ren slowly closed his eyes and drifted into sleep.
...
Ren had a dream.
In the dream, he became Ultraman, battling an octopus monster.
Unfortunately, the opponent was too strong. No matter how he attacked, his rays couldn't harm the monster at all.
Eventually, the Ultraman that Ren had become was tightly bound by the monster. Its enormous tentacles attacked him.
"Ugh... No!!" As the chest indicator blinked, Ren suddenly woke up,
opening his eyes.
Seeing the familiar ceiling, he let out a sigh of relief, muttering, "It was all a dream..."
But why did it feel so suffocating...
This made Ren instinctively look beside him, and he broke into a sweat instantly.
It turned out Jada was holding him like an octopus.
No wonder it was so terrifying; after all, a woman in her thirties is like a wolf!
Of course, her holding him wasn't the main issue; it was her leg!
At that moment, her leg was pressing down on him!
This provocation made his little brother ready and on alert.
Fortunately, Jada was still asleep!
Ren breathed a sigh of relief.
Otherwise, it would have been even more awkward.
Then, he slowly shifted his body, trying not to wake her.
The friction as he moved made Ren squint his eyes.
But fortunately, he knew this wasn't the time to enjoy it.
After a while, Ren finally moved out from under her leg and got dressed.
As he was about to leave the room, Ren suddenly paused, looking at Jada still lying in bed, staring at her lips, inevitably having some thoughts.
He bent down slowly and kissed her, then, like a startled rabbit, hurried out of the room.
However, what Ren didn't know was that the moment he closed the door and left, Jada, lying in bed, suddenly opened her eyes.
Her face flushed.
She had already been awake when Ren was moving. She just felt too embarrassed to say anything.
Touching her lips, Jada cursed quietly, "Tsk!"
