Chapter 79 The Rain Subsides, A Cup of Autumn Narcissus

Clang!

A thunderbolt struck.

Jin Shiyu placed the empty wine pot back on the table, gazing at her. A blush crept up his neck and quickly spread across his face. In the dim light, the bulging veins on the side of Jin Shiyu's neck, his blindingly red eyes, and his tightly clenched wrist resting on the table all testified to the potency of the drug.

Jin Shiyu did not lie to her.

Seeing how crazy he had become, Jin Suiqing was truly frightened. Humans are essentially animals, and when animals sense danger, their instinctive reaction is to run away.

Jin Suiqing was the same, but her feet seemed rooted to the ground, and she didn't move.

Jin Shiyu risked his life for her, so she dared not leave, nor did she want to.

Jin Shiyu saw her fear, and, suppressing the overwhelming lust and swaying his sanity, gently said to Jin Suiqing, "The door is there. If Suiqing chooses to leave, I won't chase after her, nor will I seek an antidote. I will die here, rotting in the room you gave me..."

He didn't continue speaking, but instead looked up at Jin Suiqing with his head down. The large expanse of red white in his eyes made Jin Shiyu look even more like a vengeful ghost crawling out of hell.

Having made his point, Jin Shiyu handed over the choice entirely to Jin Suiqing.

To live or to die?

Seeing Jin Shiyu's increasingly violent, ox-like breathing, Jin Suiqing was terrified and dared not move. Torn between her conscience and instinct, she lifted her stiff, numb leg, swayed, and almost tripped and fell to the ground.

Jin Shiyu's expression tightened. He thought of getting up to help her, but he knew that the desire poison was tormenting him and he would be no longer human. Touching her might cause him to lose control.

He forced himself to close his eyes and turned his head away from looking at Jin Suiqing.

Not looking at her is extremely difficult, like walking through a mountain of knives and a sea of ​​fire.

Jin Suiqing used both hands and feet to push open the door. The summer night was hot, but the weather was unpredictable. In an instant, a strong wind swept through the room, carrying the impending rain, making Jin Suiqing feel cold from head to toe.

Behind him, Jin Shiyu suddenly sighed, "Jin Suiqing..."

His sigh was like a bullet piercing her through the chest. Jin Suiqing barely stopped in front of the door, shuddering violently.

She stared blankly at Ye Zhufeng, who had rushed into the courtyard in a hurry to find her.

Yezi came to pick her up.

She should go.

Ke Xin already had an answer. Without hesitating for a moment, Jin Suiqing took a deep breath and smiled at Ye Zhufeng: "Ye Zi, I did it voluntarily, don't make things difficult for him."

After saying that, she closed the door.

*

Jin Suiqing rushed towards Jin Shiyu and embraced him. She said in a trembling voice, "Brother, I won't leave tonight, but I will still leave tomorrow. No one can change my mind, not even you, so I'm only giving you one night."

In the darkness, her eyes shone brightly as she looked down at Jin Shiyu. She was clearly trembling with fear, yet she bit her lip to bolster her courage. She lifted Jin Shiyu's face, which was usually icy cold but was now burning hot, hotter than a handful of red-hot coals, making her hands feel cold.

Kim Shi-ok gritted his teeth: "No regrets?"

Jin Suiqing smiled through her tears, "It's too late to regret it now, brother."

Suddenly, the seated man sprang to his feet, lifted Jin Suiqing's legs, and pressed her against his body. Jin Suiqing instinctively wrapped her arms around his strong, muscular waist. She dared not move, and in her panic, she could only wrap her arms around Jin Shiyu's neck, unaware that everything she did at that moment was igniting a fire.

She heard Jin Shiyu's muffled groan in her ear, and suddenly the world spun around her. She was lying on her back on the bed, staring blankly at Jin Shiyu.

Jin Shiyu endured to the extreme, trembling uncontrollably, yet still lovingly kissed Jin Suiqing's forehead, kissing it again and again, "Sister, you can still walk now."

"I'm not leaving. I've said it before, and no one can change my mind..."

Before she could finish speaking, Kim Si-ok had already pressed his lips against hers.

The kiss was deep and intense, filled with intense desire, and mixed with the hot, milky scent emanating from his body. He no longer held back, his tongue sweeping across her upper palate and back teeth before pressing against her throat.

Jin Suiqing snorted, her throat contracting repeatedly. She endured it for a while until saliva kept drooling out, dripping down her face and into her collar, sticky and uncomfortable. Only then did she forcefully pat Jin Shiyu's shoulder.

Jin Shiyu stood up and took off his clothes. He was wearing white again today, except for the bright red collar. He reached into his collar with his long white fingers, grabbed the edge and pulled it down. Jin Suiqing was stunned for a moment, then calmed down and reached out to pull off his clothes.

Layer by layer, like unwrapping a gift, his fair flesh was revealed, rising and falling with his heavy breathing. In the dim night, his well-defined muscles were shrouded in an alluring sheen.

Jin Suiqing's eyes were filled with longing, so he touched it. The night was an illusion, but the shimmering water was real.

In the humid heat and restlessness, even thin clothes could make him sweat profusely.

Jin Suiqing casually threw the fabric off the bed. With a clang, the narcissus lamp was knocked down, and the already teetering petals were completely scattered and could no longer be closed.

Jin Shiyu actually wanted to go and see, which angered Jin Suiqing. He turned Jin Shiyu's head around and said in feigned anger, "You still have the heart to see?"

Who exactly is poisoned by love?

Jin Shiyu's breathing grew even hotter. He lowered his head and intertwined his lips and tongue with Jin Suiqing's. His vision blurred, and he murmured, "That was made by my sister."

"Still... calling me 'sister'?" Jin Suiqing chuckled and raised an eyebrow. The lamp was already broken, so she was going all out, determined to smash the wall in the south. "Jin Shiyu, if you find this bedroom fun, then I'll call you 'brother' from now on."

Whether it was because of the word "later" or "brother" that Kim Shi-ok couldn't control himself, he started tearing off his clothes even faster.

Seeing his anxious look, Jin Suiqing thought to herself, "Oh no, I shouldn't have started this. I've actually set off a huge fire!"

Jin Suiqing gritted her teeth. Since things had come to this point, she might as well make a move.

She raised her hand and pinched Kim Shi-ok's abs twice, then rubbed his beautiful waistline hard. Hearing the increasingly uncontrollable sounds coming from him, she turned her head and began to take off her own clothes.

Jin Shiyu, panting, pressed her down: "Don't take it off."

Jin Suiqing was furious. She propped herself up and bit his chest hard. "You think you can just refuse to take it off like that?"

Jin Shiyu jerked her neck to the side and leaned down, letting her bite as she pleased. Using the position, she forcefully grabbed Jin Suiqing's hand, pulled it down her side, and slid it down her waist.

They soon arrived at the danger zone. He had combed his hair so neatly and meticulously that she couldn't hold on to him and was swaying along with him, her fingertips feeling increasingly sticky.

Feeling her cool hand, Jin Shiyu's buttocks tightened, her waist twitched, she looked up and panted for a while before lowering her head to wrap around Jin Suiqing's ear, nibbling and biting it, panting, "You will leave eventually, this is enough."

At this moment, he was still thinking about her! Jin Suiqing's eyes stung, and then she heard Jin Shiyu say in a low voice, "If you really experience it and it becomes a bone-deep infection, sister, you can forget about ever leaving this place again."

Jin Suiqing snorted and bit down hard on the skin on his neck. Listening to his voice, she said, "Brother, you can't do it. You can't bear to."

Jin Shiyu barely managed a smile and said, "Reluctant to part with it?"

Jin Suiqing looked up, and in the darkness, her eyes shone even brighter. Jin Shiyu seemed mesmerized as he kissed her incessantly, from her eyes to the tip of her nose, her lips, her chin, her neck... and then all the way down, the kisses growing heavier and heavier.

Finally, Kim Si-ok picked up the hem of her skirt and set it aside.

He sniffed lightly, his hot breath exhaling. Jin Suiqing trembled, sensing the danger, and kept moving back. Jin Shiyu hugged her legs tightly.

!

Feeling the dampness of his breath, like water boiling and steaming; she too melted, steaming with moisture, Jin Suiqing shrank back, and softly hummed, "Brother..."

Jin Shiyu kissed her and, seeing her trembling, smiled and said, "Little sister, would you like to give it a try?"

*

As dawn broke, the rain gradually stopped.

Jin Suiqing pushed open the door like a thief, her cheeks flushed and her steps unsteady, and crawled out from inside.

After a whole night of fussing, she packed up and left as soon as everyone was asleep, not daring to linger any longer.

Jin Shiyu was clearly still a virgin in the first half of the night. The good student learned everything quickly except for being bad at magic weapons. Even though he was tormented by the love poison, he was still hanging on by a thread. Before the final step, he lifted the corner of her clothes and licked her inside and out.

Thinking about it this way, she felt a pang of sadness in her heart; even in her life-threatening situation, he still cared for her like that.

When Jin Suiqing arrived at the water's edge, she tidied herself up before seeing Ye Zhufeng. But when she saw her reflection in the water, the bittersweet feeling in her heart vanished instantly.

She chuckled to herself, thinking, "What a dog! Its face and neck are covered in teeth marks; it has to wear a mask when it goes out."

As she laughed, tears streamed down Jin Suiqing's face again.

Why leave a bite mark of all things? It'll be gone in a couple of days. He, Jin Shiyu, wants to remember her, but doesn't Jin Suiqing need one too?

After looking at it for a long time, she rubbed her face. "It's already like this, why bother caring so much?" Jin Suiqing casually tidied her hair and went to see Ye Zhufeng.

Ye Zhufeng was worried about her, so he stayed overnight with Huihong in the side courtyard. The two of them were stunned when they saw the bite marks all over Jin Suiqing's head and face. Huihong blushed and went back to her room to look for medicine. Ye Zhufeng was furious and rolled up his sleeves, picked up a broom, and was about to leave.

Jin Suiqing quickly stopped her, but Ye Zhufeng cursed, "Why are you stopping me? Let me go beat the dog!"

“Jin Shiyu is indeed a dog,” Jin Suiqing shouted, hugging Ye Zhufeng’s waist. “But he’s a good dog… no, a good brother. Ye, don’t go. He finally fell asleep.”

Ye Zhufeng sneered, looking down at Jin Suiqing who was clinging to her waist. His eyes were full of disappointment and frustration. He also noticed her rather agile movements. Recalling the chaos among the five guards in the side room yesterday, he frowned and asked in surprise, "Didn't you finish?"

"Ah... um." Jin Suiqing sniffed, embarrassed, "He... can't bear to make people suffer."

Ye Zhufeng slammed the broom to the ground and snorted coldly, "Let go."

"No...no more fighting?"

"I'm not fighting anymore." Ye Zhufeng lightly kicked Jin Suiqing, his tone softening. "It's good that you weren't wronged."

Jin Suiqing sniffled and burst into tears while hugging Ye Zhufeng.

Knowing that Jin Suiqing's tears were not due to being wronged, Ye Zhufeng gently patted the back of her head and said with a smile, "What's wrong? Can't bear to part with her?"

The person in his arms nodded.

Ye Zhufeng said, "If you can't bear to leave, then don't go."

Jin Suiqing said sullenly, "That's different. We still have to leave."

Knowing Jin Suiqing's nature so well, Ye Zhufeng could immediately tell whether she was about to fart or poop the moment she bent over. He could then quickly decide whether to hold his breath or hand her some toilet paper. Ye Zhufeng snorted, "What's wrong? Do you have something to ask of me before you leave?"

Jin Suiqing chuckled, his face covered in teeth marks, and looked up at Ye Zhufeng, blinking wildly. "Ye Zi understands me best."

To be honest, Ye Zhufeng immediately regretted it.

*

Jin Shiyu opened his eyes. The sticky feeling in the room had long since dissipated. He had a terrible headache, whether from the lingering poison or from excessive indulgence.

The pain didn't stop him from getting up quickly. Jin Shiyu hurriedly put on his undershirt and trousers. He got up so fast that his vision went white and he almost rolled off the bed. He stumbled forward a few steps and braced himself on the table before he had a chance to look around.

She really left.

It was empty; nothing was left behind.

Jin Shiyu's head throbbed even more. He rubbed his forehead and chuckled self-deprecatingly.

The younger sister is no longer the younger sister; they truly have no relationship whatsoever anymore.

Jin Shiyu suddenly felt all his strength drained away, completely exhausted. He turned around to go back to the bedside, but when he saw the light on the bedside table, he froze on the spot.

The narcissus lamp, which should have been smashed, now stands perfectly intact on the corner cabinet.

Jin Shiyu's headache worsened, but he knelt down in front of the corner cabinet with a thud and carefully picked up the lamp. He wanted to examine it closely, but dared not turn it over too forcefully, for fear that he would shake the delicate lamp apart again.

Could it be that last night was all his dream?

The lamp wasn't broken, nor was Jin Suiqing ever here?

Jin Shiyu had a splitting headache and became increasingly confused. He couldn't control his strength and accidentally turned on the switch on the base of the Autumn Water Fairy Lamp.

With a clear, bell-like ringing, the old creaking sounds disappeared, and the metal petals opened and closed gracefully, truly transforming into a daffodil flower as if glistening with dew.

With a click, the light came on in front of him.

In the dim light of the room, only a small orange lamp illuminated his face and brightened his cloudy eyes, making his honey-amber pupils shine again.

He wasn't dreaming last night.

Jin Suiqing was there; she spent the night with him and even fixed the lamp.

really……

"Hahahaha." Jin Shiyu hugged the lamp, laughed, and fell back onto the bed. As he laughed, tears welled up in his eyes.

In the endless, dark nights, the golden light, like this lamp, illuminated him for decades; as it shone, it eventually took over his entire being.

Even leaving a light on is good; it's something to remember someone by.

Jin Shiyu had a splitting headache. He lay on his side, clutching the lamp, and curled up, tears streaming down his face. Suddenly, he heard a knock on the door. Thinking it was Jin Suiqing, he hurriedly got up to open it.

The person outside the door was none other than Huangfu Feng.

When Ye Zhufeng saw Jin Shiyu, his hair was disheveled and his clothes were wide open. He was covered in bite marks, just like Jin Suiqing. There was not a single good spot on his fair chest, and there were no small marks on his waist or sucking marks.

"Heh heh," Ye Zhufeng sneered.

Jin Suiqing wasn't much better than a dog.

Upon seeing her best friend's boyfriend, Ye Zhufeng found him utterly displeasing. Jin Shiyu also frowned impatiently. Just as she was about to close the door, Ye Zhufeng coldly said, "Qingqing is gone. She entrusted something to me to give to you."

Jin Shiyu immediately opened the door, his eyes lighting up. "What is this?"

Ye Zhufeng rolled his eyes, took out a neatly folded piece of red paper, held it between two fingers, and handed it to Jin Shiyu.

Jin Shiyu hurriedly took the document and opened it to read. Ye Zhufeng said, "Do you know what Qingqing said before she left?"

Jin Shiyu's mind was completely focused on the red paper. "What did she say?"

Ye Zhufeng: "She said that you can do whatever you want, including asking her to come back immediately."

Jin Shiyu unfolded the red paper, and upon seeing the words on it, he froze completely. His hands trembled uncontrollably, unable to hold the paper properly, and he pressed it against his chest as if walking on thin ice. "This...this is what she said?"

Ye Zhufeng nodded. “The Jin family cannot leave the capital without a reason. She is willing to marry you, the marriage certificate has been signed and given to you. If you really want her to come back, give this marriage certificate to Huangfu Ying, and she will be immediately escorted back to the capital.”

Jin Shiyu suddenly looked up and glared at her, "I...I can't do that to her!"

Ye Zhufeng: "So, she gave you a second option."
