Chapter 23 What's wrong with you?

Li Shangxuan never expected that anyone would dare to scheme against her like this. Even if someone had ulterior motives before, they would only flatter her, never try to force themselves on her like she did.

He pinched his thigh hard to steady his voice, "Do you know who I am? Give me the antidote, and I'll let bygones be bygones..."

Before she could finish speaking, Xin Wanyou chuckled, her tone laced with contempt, "I don't care who you are. In Luonan, even the Ming family has to give me some face. You're from the capital, don't you know that even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake?"

She became increasingly smug as she spoke, closing the door behind her. She took a few steps forward, about to pinch Li Shangxuan's cheek, "You better behave yourself. I'm the kind of person who only seeks pleasure, not murder. Of course, if you change your mind and want to marry me, I'd be more than willing..."

Before he could finish speaking, he received a choke on the back of the neck and collapsed limply to the ground. Before his eyes closed, they were wide open, as if in disbelief.

Li Shangxuan felt increasingly hot all over, as if his blood had turned into leaping flames, burning fiercely in his body, and finally all of it gathered in his lower body.

He had no time to deal with Xin Wanyou, who was lying unconscious on the ground. He hurriedly wanted to go out and find Huo Lu to think of a solution, but when he finally managed to get inside, the other party was lying on the bed sleeping like a dead pig and could not be woken up no matter how much he called.

The others did the same, it seems that Xin Wanyou really made thorough preparations.

Li Shangxuan walked towards Yang Qing's room as if possessed, but when he knocked on the door, there was no response. He pushed it hard and figured it was locked from the inside. Perhaps she had also been drugged?

For some reason, Li Shangxuan breathed a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to turn back, he noticed a crack in the window. He gently pushed it open and opened the window completely.

He silently peered into the room for a moment, thinking to himself, "This is no wonder."

*****

When Yang Qing woke up, she saw Li Shangxuan sitting at the head of her bed, with the curtain half-lifted. Startled, she quickly sat up, but her mind was still foggy, and the question she asked was somewhat amusing: "Is it time for dinner?"

Li Shangxuan did not answer. He was in a strange state, his face was flushed, and his eyes seemed to be burning with fire.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Yang Qing reached out to touch his forehead, and it was indeed burning hot. She hurriedly tried to get out of bed, but he pressed her down. It was easy to reach out but difficult to pull her hand back. He forcefully pressed her face against his, and she rubbed it hard. "Ah Xun, I feel so uncomfortable. Please help me."

Yang Qing's face flushed red instantly. He hugged her tightly, their bodies pressed together. She could feel something pressing against her lower abdomen, and her voice trembled as she asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Li Shangxuan didn't answer her question, but instead pleaded seductively, "Help me, I'm really in so much pain..."

Before Yang Qing could answer, he started looking for the antidote on his own. He put one arm around her waist and the other hand wandered around her chest, but it still didn't feel enough, so he could only kiss her neck randomly, which finally brought some relief.

Yang Qing was completely enveloped by him, feeling like a poor passerby being haunted by a water ghost. She was held so tightly that she almost had the illusion that she couldn't breathe. Indeed, wasn't Li Shangxuan a living, breathing ghost right now?

It's the kind that absorbs people's vital energy.

His kisses were hurried and chaotic, completely haphazard, making Yang Qing feel as if she were being kissed by a puppy. Yang Qing realized that Li Shangxuan hadn't learned any of the tricks he would use to deal with her in bed; he could only rely on instinct to lick and bite, never finding the right approach, merely quenching his thirst with a mirage.

Such intimacy will definitely leave marks. It's still summer, and she's wearing light clothing. How is she supposed to face people tomorrow?

Yang Qing panicked and tried to push him away, but he not only didn't let go, he hugged her even tighter and bit her ear in dissatisfaction, warning her to behave herself.

Yang Qing could only whisper, "Let go first."

Li Shangxuan didn't say anything, but continued to lick her neck, his hand even trying to slip inside her collar.

Yang Qing patted his head, remaining relatively calm, "Aren't you feeling unwell? Let go of me first so I can help you."

Oh well, she'd done plenty of things like this in her past life anyway, so there was nothing to be ashamed of.

Li Shangxuan seemed somewhat dazed, consumed by lust. Upon hearing this, he slowly released her, murmuring, "Don't lie to me."

Yang Qing said irritably, "Why would I lie to you?"

She was finally free. She had just gently rubbed that spot when Li Shangxuan groaned and tried to bite her neck. Yang Qing, wanting to prevent him from kissing her indiscriminately and leaving marks, quickly stopped him, saying, "Don't bite me. If you bite me again, I'll leave. You'll have to deal with it yourself."

Li Shangxuan finally let go, and when he looked at her, his eyes were somewhat pitiful. Being looked at like that, Yang Qing was also a little moved. Li Shangxuan was really funny at this moment. Even a dog is cute when it is a puppy.

She guided him to kiss her for a while, and he quickly became addicted, his tongue chasing after hers, pressing against her and kissing her incessantly. After a long while, he finally let go and whispered, "Touch me some more, I still feel uncomfortable."

Once the barrier of clothing was removed and Yang Qing's hand touched his, Li Shangxuan was too preoccupied to even think about kissing her. He could only lean on her shoulder and pant, occasionally letting out a muffled groan as she moved her hand. He wanted to bite her fair earlobe, but he knew Yang Qing would be unhappy if he did so, so he could only secretly stick out his tongue and lick it intermittently.

After a while, Yangqing became a little impatient. "Why aren't you done yet?"

Li Shangxuan was still not quite conscious. He didn't know if it was because of the drug or something else, but he felt lightheaded. To prevent himself from falling, he could only desperately hold onto Yang Qing as his lifeline.

When a young man experiences love for the first time, the added effect of the drug makes him incredibly excited. Many images flash through his mind. What are they?

Yang Qing urged again, "Hurry up, my hands are tired, I don't want to move anymore."

Li Shangxuan focused his attention, ignoring the strange scenes that suddenly appeared. All his senses were concentrated on that soft hand. When he heard her say she was tired, he held her hand and arched his back to bump against her. It felt very comfortable, and soft moans escaped his lips.

He was enjoying himself immensely, but Yang Qing felt nothing. His licking and biting were hardly enough to arouse any desire in her.

Her only worry now is that his breathing is too loud and others will hear it. He's shameless, but she's very concerned about her reputation.

Just as she feared, footsteps sounded outside, and Yang Qing quickly whispered, "Stop doing it, there are people outside."

Fortunately, Li Shangxuan was quite obedient. He stopped moving for a moment, leaned on her shoulder, and kept panting.

When the knocking sounded, she was afraid that the sound would be heard by people outside, so she reached out and covered his mouth.

It was Xin Wanyou's voice from outside: "Ah Xun, have you seen your brother?"

Her voice sounded a little strange, but Yang Qing herself felt guilty, not to mention that Li Shangxuan was licking her palm, a small action that made her tense up.

Distracted, he replied evasively, "No, I'm still sore all over and haven't left my room all day. What's up, do you need to see him?"

Upon hearing this, Xin Wanyou didn't say anything, and her reply was equally vague, "It's nothing important. I'll go look elsewhere. You should get some rest."

After she left, Yang Qing breathed a sigh of relief and let go of his hand. Li Shangxuan, however, seemed to have found something interesting and gently nibbled on her finger, refusing to let go.

Li Shangxuan finally finished when the sound of rain outside drowned out everything.

Yang Qing quickly pulled her hand away, wiping it with a handkerchief in disgust, but still felt there was a strange smell.

Li Shangxuan was still a little dazed, but after he came to his senses, he reverted to his old ways, took her hand again, and pleaded softly, "Can we do it one more time? I still feel terrible..."

Yang Qing was not happy. She keenly sensed that this person was different from before. His mind had returned to his body, and he was very unwilling to ask her for help again. She immediately refused firmly.

Li Shangxuan's face was somber, but he still showed no intention of leaving. He lay on her bed, his clothes disheveled, lost in thought.

It was already quite dark outside. Yang Qing lit a candle and happened to see his half-closed eyes. She asked, "What are you thinking about?"

Li Shangxuan looked up at her, his eyes filled with confusion. The fragmented scenes that suddenly appeared in his mind were strange and chaotic. He was still in a daze and couldn't sort them out for the time being.

As soon as Yang Qing spoke, all his attention shifted to her again. He secretly swallowed and tried his best to make his expression look more upright. He must not look like a shameless and lewd pervert, even though he was doing the work of a pervert right now.

"The effects of the medication haven't worn off yet," he said, showing her the part of him that had stood up to ensure authenticity. "Look, I still feel terrible."

Yang Qing said, "What does this have to do with me? You should just leave..."

Li Shangxuan said in a low voice, "I'm not leaving." His voice was somewhat unnatural, almost pleading, "I'm really in a lot of pain. Ah Xun, please help me?"

Fortunately, he learned a lot from the first time, at least his kiss was very tender and passionate. Yang Qing was so dazed by the kiss that she wasn't so dissatisfied. By the time this kiss ended, it was completely dark outside. Li Shangxuan was still reluctant to kiss her, but Yang Qing, who had come to her senses, pushed him away ruthlessly. "Let's go. If someone sees us, you may not care about your reputation, but I do."

Li Shangxuan straightened her clothes, his tone tinged with helplessness, "No one else will know."

Besides, what difference does it make if he knows? He'll marry her sooner or later; it's just a matter of time.

He had previously planned to wait until everything was settled before bringing up marriage, but he never expected that Li Heyun would take a liking to him. Now that they had been intimate, he couldn't wait any longer.

Even if we don't get married right away, we should at least settle down first.
