Saving the overbearing CEO

Chapter 38: First World: Qie Ran's point of view

The dark eerie depths had Qie Ranzhe frantically swimming searching for Lin Jingxie but no matter how hard he looked he couldn't find him. The longer he stayed underwater the more light-headed he felt due to the lack of oxygen. Time was running out for both of them as there was no way he was going to resurface without Lin Jingxie. If Lin Jingxie was going to die then they would die together.

Just when he had accepted their impending demise, he suddenly noticed a faint figure adrift a few meters away from him. On his last stride, he grasped an unresponsive Lin Jingxie's arm before swimming up towards the surface. In a frenzy desperate to save him, Qie Ranzhe carried the corpse-like Lin Jingxie out of the water before placing him on the ground. The boy's frozen lips were deep purple and his entire body still with no signs of life.

Qie Ranzhe shook him a couple of times calling out to him but the boy was still unresponsive. Engulfed in fear, dreading the worst he gently slapped his face trying to wake him. "Jin-ge! Jin-ge wake-up please," he called out in a heartwrenching trembling voice openly expressing the pain he felt in his heart. In a last-ditch effort to save him, Qie Ranzhe sat on top of him with his knees either side of Lin Jingxie waist before administering CPR.

Thinking nothing of it except saving Lin Jingxie, he placed his left hand on his chest before covering it with the heel of his right hand interlocking the fingers of both hands together. He repeated thirty chest compression but Lin Jingxie wasn't responsive compelling Qie Ranzhe to administer rescue breaths. He tilted Lin Jingxie's head while lifting the unconscious boy's chin to open his airway. He tried to keep a level head delivering rescue breaths three times and was about to do it a fourth time when Lin Jingxie finally reacted but it wasn't what he expected.

The guy licked his bottom lip in a provocative manner living behind a tingly sensation clouding Qie Ranzhe's judgement. In a panic, he tried to pull away and wake him up but Lin Jingxie draped his arms around his neck pulling him back in place while prying open his mouth in an invasive manner. A wide-eyed Qie Ranzhe watched as the greedy Lin Jingxie deepened the kiss with no reservations. Normally, Qie Ranzhe is a strong reserved person with great self-control but being subjected to continuous stimulation from the person he liked he couldn't hold back even if he tried.

Qie Ranzhe closed his eyes fully succumbing to Lin Jingxie's provocation letting him do as he pleased. His vigilance and anxiety gradually lessened allowing him to experience the stupendous sensation that came with kissing the one you love. Lin Jingxie's imposition roused a longing that Qie Ranzhe had never experienced before as an electric current spread throughout his entire body instigating a suppressed moan. It felt so good all over as a surge of hormones took over his body muddling his mind in the process.

A raging sea of pleasure stirred up his usually well-behaved member standing as straight as a ramrod. Things were starting to spiral out of control with both of them aroused by their intimate actions. One of them had to put an end to this and that person was Qie Ranzhe. His involuntarily twitching member brought him back to his senses separating himself from Lin Jingxie. Qie Ranzhe had to use a little force because Lin Jingxie wasn't willing, holding on tightly as though clinging for dear life.

Finally free, Qie Ranzhe lay on the ground right next to him taking deep breaths to calm himself down. A light chuckle escaped from deep within chest while covering his eyes with his palm. He was just too ecstatic mixed with other indescribable feelings. That kiss was his downfall, for Lin Jingxie he would betray his nation just to feel those soft lips on his again.

Wen Qinxi finally rose from his slumber sitting up straight while violently coughing as he struggled to regulate his breathing. Qie Ranzhe pursed his lips before stretching out his hand to pat Lin Jingxie's back wondering if he remembered their sensual escapades. Of course, Wen Qinxi knew nothing about what had just happened. All he knew is that he was having a spring dream which was suddenly cut off just when things were getting good. He wasn't in a good mood and his victim could only be Qie Ranzhe.

"Qie Ranzhe what the fuck! You know I can't swim so why did you have to act so impulsively," said Wen Qinxi trying to watch his words not to incite Qie Ranzhe again.

Qie Ranzhe moved closer to him observing the nick on his head, it was the cut from hitting his head on the rock underwater. He only replied when he was sure it wasn't serious. "There was a group of crazed wild boars chasing me. I had no choice," he replied gazing into Lin Jingxie's captivating eyes, "Am sorry."

Wen Qinxi suddenly remembered something and asked while tightly gripping Qie Ranzhe's arm. "How about Zha-.... ahem, nevermind," he said before stopping himself when he remembered Qie Ranzhe hadn't mentioned meeting Zhao Huangzhi yet. 'Fuck! Almost admitted to a crime," he thought letting go of Qie Ranzhe's arm.

Qie Ranzhe clearly heard the Zha- word and instantly knew who he was referring to but couldn't understand how Lin Jingxie knew they had met. Where they in on this together? A flood of confusing questions filled his mind as he scrupulously scrutinised Lin Jingxie's face making sure not to miss any slight change in expression.

Under Qie Ranzhe's intent gaze, Wen Qinxi felt his face heating up feeling vulnerable. Qie Ranzhe didn't miss any of his physical reactions confirming his suspicions. 'What other secrets are you hiding Jin-ge?' he thought choosing not to expose him yet. He gently pressed Lin Jingxie's wound asking, "Can you feel that? Is it painful?"

Wen Qinxi shook his head oblivious to what Qie Ranzhe was referring to. He swatted his hand off complaining, "Qie Ranzhe my clothes are all wet and I can't go home like this otherwise Master Lin will punish me for sure. He already told me to stay away from water and if sees me drenched he will definitely blow his top off."

He didn't waste any time shedding off his clothes to hang them dry otherwise he would be subjected to another ridiculous punishment. Qie Ranzhe's already calm heartbeat skyrocketed again with flushed ears while stammering, "Wh-what are you...." unable to finish off his sentence faced with a shirtless Lin Jingxie.

"They will dry faster, come on take yours off. You can't risk catching a cold," he replied while hanging his garments on a bushy shrub. By the time he was done, he found a flabbergasted Qie Ranzhe still dressed with the tips of his ears red. A complacent Wen Qinxi folded his arms across his chest before saying, "You want me to take them off for you?" teasing him with a mischievous grin on his visage.

"No need!" replied bashful Qie Ranzhe cursing within, 'Fuck, fuck, fuccccckkk!'
