Chapter 245 Does it hurt?
Chapter 245 Does it hurt?
Neji usually looks calm and serious, so when he makes a joke, I always find it rare and novel.
Probably because he didn't say anything, Neji confirmed, "Are you unhappy?"
"No. Neji rarely does this, so I feel a little happy when I see him. How should I put it... It's like the feeling of finally getting a rare card when drawing a card."
Neji smiled, "What a description."
After that, he stopped moving the candlesticks intentionally, but I didn't let go of his sleeve.
Does Ningji like the feeling of being depended on?
If I can make him happy just by pretending to be dependent on him, then why not make him happy since it doesn't take any effort?
Thinking of this, I simply took his arm.
Neji paused.
Seeing him suddenly stop where he was, I asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
“No… that…” Neji turned his head away and for some reason covered his face with his hands, hiding his expression from me. “If we link arms, it’s a little…”
I was puzzled and asked, “A little bit?”
"It's a little too close... Chaolu, you should be more careful about physical contact..."
“Do I have to be careful even when I’m linking arms?” I felt confused and at the same time, I felt hurt that I was being lectured for my good intentions.
"No...it's okay." Neji probably noticed from the changes in my expression and tone that I was beginning to feel depressed. He immediately held my hand that I wanted to pull away, put it back in his arm, and changed the topic: "It's nothing... hold my arm. Sorry, I'm just a little...not used to it."
"Ningji doesn't like physical contact? Don't like being touched?"
Neji showed a look of hesitation and distress, and seemed to have no idea how to answer.
I was so shocked that I didn't realize it before?! Ningci and I have been partners for almost three years! Could it be that I wasn't careful enough? ?
But Neji and I really didn't have any close contact before, except when I had a nightmare right after I defected, and he and Gaara hugged me and comforted me.
He is very reserved and polite. Although he hates the Hyuga clan, it is difficult to completely abandon the education he received since childhood. The etiquette and rules of the Hyuga family have shaped him into what he is now - especially with Gaara by his side for comparison, Neji really has a strong sense of boundaries.
After all, Gaara has been surrounded by sand since he was a child and has never had close contact with anyone. Naturally, no one taught him what distance he should keep when interacting with different people.
I'm pretty much the same.
Gaara and I have a very confused understanding of intimate contact. We rely entirely on our intuition. If we feel it is okay, then it seems to be okay.
But normally I'm a teammate with Neji, and we occasionally have physical contact, and I don't feel that Neji is very repulsive...
I've touched hands, leaned on shoulders, and even back to back before...
Could it be that Ningji actually didn't like it at that time, but just endured it silently?
Or is it that this simple touch is fine, but the act of "holding arms" will restrict his movements, so Neji doesn't like it?
after all……
"The Hyuga family's unique skill, Kaiten, is to never let the corners of their clothes be touched by anything... In this case, it's normal that you are not used to being restrained. If Neji is reluctant, I'd better not touch you."
"No, it's okay." As if worried that I would break away, Neji directly covered the back of my hand and held my hand. "I want to try to get used to it... Practice with me, Chaolu."
"You don't hate it in your heart but endure it silently, right?"
“…I don’t hate it.”
"That's good!" I became happy. "It feels good to be in close contact with friends. You will definitely like it!"
I held Neji's arm and found that his body was very stiff. In order to help him get used to it as quickly as possible, I leaned towards him with trust and gently leaned on his shoulder.
As soon as I leaned over it, I realized something was wrong.
"Ningji, have you grown taller recently?"
"Hmm?" His voice became a little hoarse: "I didn't pay much attention, what's wrong?"
"I should have been able to lean on your shoulder before, but I could only lean on your arm... the height was wrong!" I gestured to indicate the height difference between Neji and me. He raised his chin slightly and let me use my palm as a ruler, moving it from the top of his head to his neck.
When I placed the back of my hand against his jaw, Neji's Adam's apple was clearly visible beneath my palm.
I was stunned.
"So lovely……"
"what?"
"Ningji's neck."
"?"
After I took my hand back, Neji touched his neck and said in a subtle tone: "This is the first time... that someone has praised my neck."
He put his hand down: "Chaolu, do you like necks?"
"It's not like that." I scratched my cheek a little embarrassedly. "I usually don't pay much attention to other people's necks, but occasionally when I see a beautiful Adam's apple, I will... feel very different."
Maybe it's because it reminds me of Shikamaru-sama?
That reminds me of a series of wonderful feelings about family, security, happiness, trust, and...it makes me feel very attractive.
I sighed, "Ningji's Adam's apple is very charming."
Neji had a strange expression on his face, "It feels a bit weird to be praised for just one part of my body."
I immediately revised it: "Ningji is very charming!"
He couldn't help but ruffle my hair and said, "Thank you. If Chaolu really thinks so, I'm very happy."
After realizing that Neji has a nice Adam's apple, I couldn't help but stare at it all the time.
"Can I have a bite?"
I myself found this request very strange, and I couldn't help but sound a little guilty.
Neji was stunned, "What? Where to bite?"
I stretched out my finger and gently touched his Adam's apple.
His Adam's apple moved up and down.
"I used to just watch... I suddenly became curious, what would it feel like to bite it?"
"Have you ever bitten anyone else?"
I shook my head.
"Do you have the same urge to bite other people?"
I thought about it and said, "No."
"So you just want to bite me? Why?"
"Because we are friends!" I said without hesitation, "If I say 'Can I bite you' to someone I don't know well, I will definitely be considered a person with a mental problem!"
Neji took a deep breath and sighed slowly.
But he never explicitly refused, and I couldn't help but pull on his sleeves and tug at him: "Is it okay? Is it okay?"
"Hold on."
Ningji suddenly opened his Byakugan, probably to check if there was anyone approaching nearby. When he closed his Byakugan, he didn't say anything, but just leaned towards me silently.
He held the candlestick in one hand and used the other to push the long hair that hung down beside his ears behind his ears to prevent it from falling down and blocking my view.
This is what "yes" means. I said happily, "Thank you, Neji!"
I held his shoulders to steady myself and stood on tiptoe toward him.
Probably to make it easier for me to move, Neji leaned back against the wall.
In the dim underground corridor, I pressed Neji against the wall, opened my mouth and gently bit his Adam's apple.
Well……
How to put it... It's hard, but not as hard as a nut. Actually, the Adam's apple is cartilage, so it's normal for it to be softer than normal bones. And it's also wrapped in a layer of flesh and blood, so it's even more flexible and soft.
But...it's not quite what I imagined.
It’s not that I imagine there is a specific sense of touch as a standard, but rather a feeling of mismatch between body and consciousness.
The consciousness originally thought that just biting the Adam's apple would satisfy it, but after the body actually took action, it was discovered that the feeling of biting the Adam's apple was actually different from the satisfaction of biting the Adam's apple as imagined.
How should I put it… There’s a sense of inadequacy, wanting more, but not knowing how to do it.
Chasing the imagined feeling of satisfaction, I gently nuzzled Neji's skin.
But I felt my teeth just touch his skin, and Neji whispered: "Hiss..."
Hearing his painful tone, I quickly let go of him and asked with concern: "Does it hurt?"
Ningji covered the place where I bit him with a complicated expression, "Maybe it's because this place is very fragile."
"Sorry, sorry! But I really didn't use much strength..."
I tried to make amends by rubbing the area where he had been bitten to relieve the pain. But when I looked closely, there was no mark left on Neji's skin.
I didn't use any force, but this part of a man's body is so fragile. Can it hurt so much just by slightly touching something hard like a tooth? It's really... It actually scared me.
