Jono closed her eyes, and in that moment, she felt that spreading her arms from nearly ten meters high was another form of liberation.
But suddenly, a long arm wrapped around her waist, and she sensed a strong male presence surrounding her!
She opened her eyes and saw Jin Chengyan's face just inches away!
He looked very tense!
But Jono was also very nervous at that moment!
Jin Chengyan had clearly been above her just moments ago, and as she fell, he had given up the victory that was within reach to come and save her!
The reason she had spread her arms to fall was that she was secured by a wire harness, with a soft mat below. Moreover, when she was about a meter from the ground, the rope would tighten, ensuring she wouldn’t be hurt at all!
Yet, Jin Chengyan still came to save her.
She looked at him; his chiseled features were so handsome that one glance could leave her mesmerized. Those deep, unfathomable eyes made it impossible for her to ever know what emotions lay hidden within.
His hand around her waist was tight, pulling her close to him with sheer strength, their bodies fitting together perfectly.
Until Jin Chengyan stood firmly on the ground while Jono remained in his embrace.
From the first moment Jono laid eyes on Jin Chengyan, she knew this man was irresistibly charming. He was a dangerous man, a deadly poison that once touched would be impossible to quit.
Every time they got close, Jono reminded herself that they were merely bound by a contract—mutually beneficial—and that she must not develop feelings. She must not.
She had indeed managed to do so before, but this time, Jono felt it was a bit dangerous.
“Jono, I don’t like seeing you so downcast. You were dumped by Shen Fengye, betrayed by Ni Yue, your family went bankrupt, and your brother is being unreasonable. None of that brought you down. Your father's departure may have been a devastating blow, but I believe it shouldn't be enough to make you give up on yourself.” When he saw Jono at her home, she truly looked like a very worn-out girl.
“Jono, you shouldn’t be like this.” After saying that, Jin Chengyan set Jono down from his embrace.
Standing on her own two feet on the mat, Jono finally felt a bit more grounded.
“Jin Chengyan…” Calling out his name, Jono realized she couldn’t find the words to say.
Faced with his unconventional comfort, faced with his… concern.
Jono understood that this was Jin Chengyan’s way of caring, but it made her anxious.
Jin Chengyan looked at Jono with his captivating eyes, unwavering and even… tender, something he wasn’t even aware of himself.
In that moment, Jono felt as if she had lost her mind. Her hand tightly grasped the fabric at Jin Chengyan’s waist as she stood on her tiptoes and pressed her lips against his.
The instant their lips touched, Jono felt a surge of electricity coursing through her entire body!
And the proximity allowed her to see herself reflected in Jin Chengyan’s eyes—so fearless, so brave, and unafraid of rejection; she kissed him without hesitation.
She pushed aside the warnings Jin Chengyan had given her before.
But he… didn’t reject her, did he?
It was unclear whether it was because Jin Chengyan didn’t push her away or because she had gathered enough courage; her lips didn’t leave the corner of his mouth but instead pressed firmly against him.
What makes us human is our brain's ability to control our actions.
But that couldn't stop us from being more emotional than rational.
Jono wanted to kiss Jin Chengyan, and she definitely wouldn't hold back.
However, in the next moment, Jin Chengyan wrapped his arm around Jono's waist, and with a strong pull, she was pressed tightly against his warm chest!
He even pried open Jono's lips, turning the passive into the active!
Jono's mind short-circuited; all she could feel was Jin Chengyan's lips moving against hers, and she was almost breathless!
After an unknown amount of time, it was unclear who released whom first. Jono looked at Jin Chengyan, but suddenly she ran away!
Jin Chengyan watched Jono flee in panic, his hand brushing over his own lips.
He thought to himself that he, Jin Chengyan... had been forcefully kissed!
