Mo Yun dodged repeatedly, but his body was pinned down by Shi Lan. He was afraid that if he moved too much, Shi Lan would fall over. So he could only dodge left and right, but he couldn't escape the tickling that made people laugh.

Left with no other option, Mo Yun had to retaliate.

Shi Lan's body was extremely sensitive. As soon as Mo Yun made his move, Shi Lan giggled from the tickling, her whole body like a live fish on a chopping board, bending and leaning back and forth on Mo Yun's body.

Seeing her like this, Mo Yun's eyes lit up, and he scratched her even more gently and happily.

Shi Lan was overjoyed, her fair face flushed pink, and her already small cherry-like mouth opened wide as she breathed deeply.

Mo Yun stared intently at her lips, which were flushed from the intense exercise, and then his gaze traveled down her smooth chin to her fair neck.

For some reason, he suddenly felt a tickle in his teeth. Without thinking, he forcefully lifted his head, and his white teeth bit into that part of his fair skin.

Shi Lan let out a soft cry, her body instantly stiffening.

Mo Yun seemed to have tasted the flavor, his strong teeth nibbling away little by little, his soft tongue sometimes lightly and sometimes heavily brushing against her, leaving a little bit of moisture.

Shi Lan's face immediately flushed, the coolness on her neck made her shiver slightly, and the tingling sensation in her back made her waist weak and her legs tremble.

Mo Yun couldn't help but give it a gentle kiss, and Shi Lan exclaimed "Ah!"

Hearing her exclamation, Mo Yun seemed to be awakened. Instead of leaving, he continued to nibble and suck, as if he had been electrocuted. Shi Lan immediately trembled uncontrollably.

After what seemed like an eternity, Mo Yun's kisses softened into gentle intimacy, the aggressive advances subsiding. Strength finally returned to Shi Lan's body, and she hurriedly pushed Mo Yun, trying to get up.

Mo Yun refused to give in, flipping over and pinning her down, continuing to nibble at her delicate, porcelain-like skin.

A subtle, tingling sensation shot down her neck, followed by a numbing sensation down her spine. Shi Lan trembled as she reached out and pressed her hand against Mo Yun's chest, her voice trembling and broken: "No, you need to wake up."

Mo Yun paused for a moment, his chest heaving rapidly. Suddenly, he seemed to lose all his strength and collapsed onto Shi Lan.

The hot breath on her neck and the strange feeling in her waist and abdomen made Shi Lan's scalp tingle. With great difficulty, she reached out and gently patted his shoulder, trying to keep her tone steady, and said, "Get up quickly, you're so heavy."

Mo Yun chuckled softly, "I never thought I'd have a moment like this."

Shi Lan tilted her head strangely, only able to see his jet-black hair.

Mo Yun buried her head deep in Shi Lan's neck and breathed heavily.

After a long while, he managed to sit down to the side.

Shi Lan quickly stood up, moved back a little, and said, "Should I go get you some water?"

Mo Yun lowered his head, closed his eyes, and said, "No need." Then he suddenly stood up and walked out.

Shi Lan quickly kicked off her embroidered shoes and ran to the window by the kang (a heated brick bed) to look outside.

Mo Yun then carried a bucket of water from the well to the side. Shi Lan playfully stuck out her tongue. The water was already a bit cold, and since it was night, the well water was still quite icy. After being doused with a bucket of water, she probably wouldn't have any thoughts left.

Fifteen minutes later, footsteps came from outside the door. Shi Lan quickly jumped off the kang (a heated brick bed), picked up her shoes, put them on, and sat obediently on the edge of the kang.

Mo Yun came in with wet hair, which surprised Shi Lan. She didn't expect him to have washed his hair, so she quickly found a large cotton towel to dry it for him.

Mo Yun, with his eyes closed, was enjoying the warm and soft touch of the woman's services when he suddenly heard a noise at the door. He abruptly opened his eyes and asked, "Who is it?"

"It's me."

Upon hearing the reply, Shi Lan frowned. Mo Yun asked, "It's so late, is there something you need?"

Yu Xiu responded softly.

Shi Lan quickly tied up Mo Yun's hair and straightened his clothes before opening the door.

Yuxiu carried in two cups of tea and gracefully entered.

Shi Lan frowned at her, but she returned Shi Lan's gaze with a gentle and shy smile.

Shi Lan laughed until her scalp tingled.

Turning her head, she saw her walk up to Mo Yun, knees slightly bent in a bow, "Brother Mo, I was ignorant before and had wronged my sister-in-law and brother. Today, seeing you and my sister-in-law busy for me, I feel particularly bad. I wanted to take advantage of my presence here to apologize to you both. Please don't hold it against me."

As she spoke, she placed the tray on the table, picked up a cup of tea, and handed it to Mo Yun. "Brother Mo, you have done what my own brother should do, and you have even done better for me than he has for me. I toast you with this cup of tea to thank you for everything you have done for me."

Mo Yun looked at her while holding his teacup. He saw that her eyes were filled with tears, and she seemed to be truly remorseful for her previous mistakes. "No need for thanks. Your elder brother is my brother. Since I promised him, I will definitely make arrangements for you."

A smile played on Zhou Yuxiu's lips, and tears welled up in her eyes as she nodded slightly.

Mo Yun's lips twitched, but she couldn't bear to say anything more, so she lifted the tea lid, took a sip, and accepted her apology.

Zhou Yuxiu picked up another cup of tea and came to Shi Lan. "Sister-in-law, I was wrong before. From now on, I am a member of the Yuan family. Please forget those messy things." Zhou Yuxiu raised the teacup to Shi Lan's eyes.

Shi Lan squinted at her.

She's just fooling people. She was heartbroken yesterday, and now she's suddenly seen the light?

Why doesn't she believe it?

While shopping can cure a low mood, it certainly doesn't apply to this girl who's single-mindedly trying to steal someone else's partner.

Shi Lan took the teacup and casually put it aside. "Alright, I appreciate your kindness. It's getting late, go to sleep."

Zhou Yuxiu pursed her lips, gave a curtsy, and walked past Shi Lan to the door.

Shi Lan kept her eyes fixed on her. Zhou Yuxiu gently lifted the bamboo curtain and suddenly turned her head to ask, "I wonder how you are feeling, sister-in-law?"
