Ah Li's face turned even redder. She looked like she was about to cry, or perhaps she simply couldn't bear it any longer. She said, "What should I do now? Can you take me to Wen Qing?"

"It's too far. I'll have someone prepare some cold water for you."

Hongqing carried Ali back to bed through the blanket, then turned to tell the waiter to prepare some cold water.

When the waiter brought up the cold water, Hongqing stood guard by the bed and even lowered the bed curtains so that no one could see Ah Li's charm at this moment.

But he could still hear Ahri's soft, helpless, and charming voice coming from inside, and he could almost smell her sweet scent lingering around him.

After the waiter left, close the door.

As soon as Hongqing drew back the bed curtains, he noticed that Ah Li's eyes were glistening with tears, her red lips were half-open, and her body was covered in fine sweat, looking as if she were ready to be taken advantage of.

"Brother Hongqing, please help me..."

Ahri's words, like morning dew falling on newly blooming petals, instantly shattered the surrounding tranquility.

Hongqing felt that everything around him had become blurry and distant, but she, and the hand she reached out to him, instantly made him no longer want to suppress or restrain himself.

"Okay, I'll help you."

Hongqing took Ahli's hand and placed it on his belt.

The bed curtains fell again, and Ah Li was pinned down on the bed. While she was enjoying herself, she was also thinking about whether her earlier request for help had unlocked his self-restraint. She had thought he really wanted her to take a cold bath.

Actually, what followed "help me" was helping her go to the cold water area.

But are these things important now?

It doesn't matter anymore, because he's really fierce, and she likes him so much.

Fourteen walked past the room and even tried to push the door; well, it was tightly shut.

Fourteen was quite satisfied with the sounds coming from inside the house. He even affirmed to himself, "I'm such a good younger brother."

After what felt like the umpteenth time the tingling sensation had subsided, just as Hongqing was about to leave, he suddenly heard Ah Li call out tenderly, "Wenqing..."

The lingering ecstasy and satisfaction felt like it had been doused with cold water. Hongqing grabbed Ah Li's wrist, leaned close to her ear, and whispered, "Who were you thinking about just now?"

The fire reignited instantly.

Ah Li suddenly looked at Hong Qing, then at the two of them in their current state, and pushed him away, saying, "Why is it you?"

"If it wasn't me, then who could it be?"

Hongqing felt like he was going crazy. This person clearly knew it was him, but in the end, he called out another man's name.

This time, she belongs to him. He will not, and could not, send her to another man!

Ahri cried out intermittently, "You...don't..."

But this man seemed determined to fight to the death, trapping her in front of him and becoming increasingly ruthless.

While Ah Li endured the pain with tears streaming down her face, she secretly rejoiced. She was initially angry that he had dragged his feet and wouldn't give her a clean break, so afterwards she called out someone else's name, intending to pretend that she had slept with the wrong person and torment this person's heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys.

Unexpectedly, there was an even more pleasant surprise.

hey-hey……

In the very end, Ahri stopped laughing.

Because she's going to be ruined.

When Ah Li regained consciousness, she was no longer in the inn. Her body was covered in ointment with a sweet smell.

Hongqing, holding a bowl of porridge, sat on the edge of the bed and said, "Now that you're awake, get up and have some water."

Ah Li seemed afraid of him. She pulled the blanket around herself and said somewhat evasively, "Put it over there, I can do it myself."

Hongqing put the porridge aside, picked up a bowl of honey water, drank it all in one gulp, then pulled Ahli in front of him, kissed her directly, and transferred all the water from his mouth into her mouth.

Ahri seemed stunned, her hands unsure of what to do, and she was forced to drink quite a bit of water.

In the end, Ah Li drank all the water, but Hong Qing didn't intend to let her go. He kissed her and said, "You asked me to help you. Now you want to regret it? It's too late."

"Will you marry me?"

Hongqing was stunned. He thought she would hate him and resent him because when he was being ruthless, she had said she didn't want him anymore, but he still didn't leave.

Even after she fainted, he still didn't let her go.

As a result, she slept for a whole day.

Seeing that Hongqing remained silent, as if he hadn't understood what she was saying, Ah Li was about to ask him again.

The next second, Hongqing hugged her and said, "How could I not want to marry you? I've already had people make preparations."

That small courtyard he had someone build separately is his and her home. They'll raise a big yellow dog and have two more children.

There were no outsiders, only their family.

"Then let's get married."

Upon hearing Ah Li's words, Hong Qing felt as if the clouds had parted and the moon had finally appeared. However, he still cupped Ah Li's face in his hands, looked earnestly into her eyes, and asked, "Do you really want to marry me?"

"Um."

"And what about that person?"

Hongqing was very nervous after asking the question.

Ah Li thought for a moment and then looked at Hong Qing, "Then will you still let me go back to that person's side?"

"No, I would rather die than."

Hongqing spoke earnestly, and he even kissed Ah Li's eyebrows and eyes. At that moment, her eyes were filled with only his feelings, which felt really good.

"Then you'll have to work harder so I can forget about that person."

Ah Li hugged Hong Qing, but a hint of unease flashed across her eyes.

Hongqing noticed and pulled her into a tight embrace. It didn't matter; they had a long future ahead of them. Even if she couldn't forget that person, as long as she was by his side, that was enough.

Ah Li sighed inwardly. She couldn't bring herself to drive someone crazy. They had already slept together; the die was cast. Why make a scene? You may have my body, but you won't have my heart. And so, all the way, she chased and she fled, their relationship entangled and complicated.

The two hugged for a while, and Ah Li cautiously looked at Hong Qing, her hand moving slightly around his waist.

Hongqing sighed softly and said, "Wait two more days and take good care of yourself. You've injured yourself somewhere."

Over time, damage is inevitable.

Ahri blushed and snuggled closer to him, saying, "Don't overthink it, I'm just hungry."

Hongqing smiled. It was because she looked at him shyly and timidly, and the way her eyes looked always made him think in that direction.

"I'll feed you."

Ahri looked at the white porridge on the small wooden stool, feeling conflicted. "But that's rice, not water."

Hongqing pinched Ah Li's waist and grinned.

After that, Hongqing fed Ahli spoonful by spoonful.

After they finished eating, Hongqing told Ahli to lie down and rest.

She herself doesn't want to move now; the consequence of indulging in excessive pleasure is difficulty walking.

After Hongqing left, Ah Li felt that she was quite rational and had managed to appease him; otherwise… her back would have been ruined.

Ahri covered her face, she couldn't bear the trauma of being knocked unconscious and then manipulated.

That feeling of being so tired, wanting to sleep but unable to, and having someone constantly nagging and bothering her—it was...exhilarating!

Ahri pulled the blanket up high and chuckled again.
