Despite feeling a bit hesitant, I had to face reality at this solemn moment. On the other hand, Shen Yulin appeared completely relaxed, as if nothing had happened, and he gave me a teasing smile.
This year's New Year's Eve dinner was unexpectedly lively. In previous years, it was just my father and me, having a simple meal while watching the Spring Festival Gala, and after the countdown, I would set off firecrackers at the door by myself. This year was different; my aunt's family came over, and I felt a different atmosphere of staying up for the New Year.
At the dining table, several people were chatting and laughing. Shen Yulin sat next to me, and because the table was small, his long legs would occasionally brush against mine. At first, I would awkwardly pull away, but gradually, I began to accept his touch—or rather, I found myself craving it.
My father and Uncle seemed to have made a pact to keep pouring drinks for each other. Shen Yulin occasionally helped Uncle out with his drinks as well. His own tolerance wasn't great either; before long, he was slumped over with his head drooping, almost leaning on me. My heart raced inexplicably as I felt his increasing weight against me.
"Hey, you're heavy," I gently pushed him.
"Be good, don't push me away," Shen Yulin said, looking at me with slightly tipsy eyes. The faint smell of alcohol wafted towards me; for some reason, it felt particularly sweet coming from him.
My face must have been burning. What should I do? What if someone finds out?
Thinking this, I glanced around with my peripheral vision. My father and Uncle were still drinking; Shen Xiuyu was watching TV while munching on chicken legs; my aunt was busy on her phone, occasionally replying to messages. No one seemed to notice what was happening between us.
After a moment's thought, I gently pushed Shen Yulin away.
"Sit up straight; let me get you some honey water?"
"I'll go with you," he replied.
With that, we both stood up and walked toward the kitchen. I tiptoed to try to reach the honey jar from the cupboard when suddenly an arm wrapped around my waist. His warm body pressed against my back while another hand retrieved the honey jar. My face flushed as I tried to escape from his grip on my waist. Unexpectedly, he forcefully turned my shoulder, gripping my chin so that I had no choice but to meet his gaze. Before I could react, I felt something cool on my lips; the faint scent of alcohol spread in my mouth as his tongue playfully teased mine.
I passively accepted his kiss, my legs turning weak as I leaned against the cabinet behind me, my hands unconsciously clutching at his shirt.
"Will you be my little sister?"
At this thought, I suddenly opened my eyes; rationality shattered the heated desire. I pushed him away abruptly and gasped for breath as I questioned him, "How can you kiss your sister!"
Shen Yulin was caught off guard by my sudden push and stared at me wide-eyed with tears glistening in my eyes. It seemed like something had lodged in his throat; he opened his mouth but couldn't find any words.
I turned away from him and started preparing honey water for him again, tears slipping down my cheeks uncontrollably.
Having already accepted reality, why did he still have to treat me this way? Do I really look that easy to bully?
The person behind me remained silent as my heart sank lower and lower.
Is he unwilling to even explain himself?
Wiping away my tears, I no longer hesitated. I handed him the honey water without looking at him and turned to leave the kitchen.
Fearing that my family would see my red eyes, I hid in the bathroom and wet a towel to place over my eyes; the coldness helped reduce the swelling.
Clearly liking him in my heart yet afraid of burdening him with my feelings made me question what I truly was.
