Chapter 45 Touch it

Lin Lanting felt a surge of intense anger raging in his mind, spreading throughout his body, making his blood boil. He was so angry he almost fainted.

Having wasted a lot of time in the palace, and worried that he wouldn't be able to find the person at Ci'en Temple, he hurried along the way and searched the temple thoroughly before finally finding the person.

And then what happened?

Upon arrival, I saw Huiyi chatting and laughing with another young man.

The key point is that this young man is even more handsome than the last one, and he seems even more difficult to deal with.

Laughing like that, who are you trying to seduce!

After staring at him menacingly for a few moments, Lin Lanting couldn't take it anymore and strode out, his eyes blazing with fury.

Huiyi was startled by the crazy person and didn't hold back her words.

"What are you talking about? What do you mean by 'caught' or 'not caught'? Do you think you're catching mice?"

Although she didn't understand what Lin Er was yelling about at first, when she saw the other party's face, which was filled with insane jealousy, and combined with the fact that she was talking to a handsome and extraordinary young man, Huiyi suddenly understood.

She was inwardly both amused and exasperated, but outwardly showed her disdain for Lin Er, this petty and jealous maniac, and grumbled, "Look at you, you're overthinking things again. Go home now."

Huiyi walked towards him, and they were about to meet. Huiyi thought he would obediently turn back with her.

Who knew that she would just go and cause trouble instead of her?

"Hey kid, take this kick!"

A loud, indignant shout came from behind, and Huiyi felt a chill run down her spine. She immediately turned around and chased after him.

She underestimated Lin Er's jealousy; it was terrifyingly strong.

"Don't kick!"

Remembering how badly Xi Bai was beaten last time, and how he still hadn't gotten out of bed, Huiyi's temples twitched, and she turned around and followed without hesitation.

"Come back!"

Although Lin Er walked very fast, Huiyi ran incredibly fast and narrowly caught up with Lin Lanting just before he raised his leg to kick her.

With her arms outstretched, Huiyi tightly embraced the slender, resilient waist in front of her, using her own weight to support Lin Er.

To be honest, the weight wrapped around Lin Lanting's waist was nothing to worry about. If it were an enemy, Lin Lanting would have smashed their head open and kicked them away long ago.

Unfortunately, not only could he not kick it, but he was also forced to make it impossible for him to take a step.

"Let go, don't get in my way."

A pair of soft, limp arms were wrapped around his waist, and he was completely helpless against them; he couldn't scold them, nor could he hit them.

"No, you can't keep hitting people for no reason!"

She was terrified that if she let go, Lin Er would kick her, and that would be a terrible sin.

Seeing the two locked in a tug-of-war, even the slow-witted Cai Xu knew he had caused a huge misunderstanding.

Recalling the various rumors surrounding Princess Chang Le's husband, Cai Xu's expression changed drastically. He immediately took several steps back, desperately explaining, "My husband has misunderstood. The princess and I are innocent, I..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Lin Lanting, who was like a powder keg, who angrily cursed, "Who gave you the right to speak, you pretty boy! You better pray that I don't catch you, or I'll break all three of your legs!"

Already furious, seeing his wife so desperately trying to protect this pretty boy made Lin Lanting even angrier, and he started speaking recklessly, saying whatever came to mind.

Huiyi was bewildered, not understanding why Lin Er had mentioned three legs.

Don't humans only have two legs?

Or perhaps Lin Er was truly enraged and was talking nonsense.

Unlike Huiyi's naivety, Cai Xu understood Lin Lanting's meaning and felt that the second son of the Lin family was indeed as fierce and barbaric as rumored.

Lin Erlang has the nerve to say such things, but he has no face to hear them. He is indeed a vulgar military general!

"What are you standing there for? Do you really want to get beaten up?!"

After staring in disbelief for a moment, Cai Xu heard Princess Chang Le shout at him. He immediately turned around and ran away.

He had a premonition that if he were to be captured by Lin Erlang today, he would at least end up with a black eye and a swollen face.

Unfortunately, things often go wrong, especially at crucial moments. Cai Xu clearly didn't step on anything, but he still ended up tripping and falling flat on his face.

With a cry of pain, he fell to the ground and saw the disappointed look on Princess Chang Le's face.

This useless thing!

This slam also amused the already furious Lin Lanting, who then began to humiliate him to the extreme.

"You shameless piece of trash, you dare to try and take it from me? You should take a good look at yourself in the mirror!"

"A grown man like this, falling down while walking? His leg might as well be sawed off. Is this what you like?"

"What terrible taste!"

The last sentence was spoken by Tong Huiyi, her expression filled with resentment and indignation.

Perhaps because they hadn't been able to find their sister and friend for a long time, or perhaps because the commotion here was a bit too loud, Li Huaiyu and He Yu came looking for them. When they saw the scene before them, they both looked worried.

"Xi Nu, brother-in-law, what are you doing?"

"Ziwen, why are you sitting on the ground?"

The two spoke at the same time and subconsciously glanced at each other.

Li Huaiyu, having secretly observed the other party's appearance before, didn't find anything unusual, but He Yu was different.

Having left the crowds behind, and now alone with her sister, Li Huaiyu removed her veil, revealing a faint sorrow on her delicate and beautiful face. This caused He Yu, who was suddenly glancing over, to freeze in shock, and her movements abruptly slowed down.

As the pale blue light passed by, He Yucai, his face burning with embarrassment, silently apologized and walked toward his friend.

"It's a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding~"

Huiyi didn't want to escalate this ridiculous matter further, so she desperately tried to signal to Lin Er with her eyes, thinking that if Lin Er dared to disobey her, she would sleep outside every night.

Fortunately, the other party was smart enough not to refute her words, but just glared at Cai Xu with a sour face before saying indifferently, "That's right, there was a misunderstanding just now, but it's resolved now."

Once her emotions had calmed down, and with outsiders present, Lin Lanting didn't want to be laughed at, so she simply started to put on an act as well.

Cai Xu didn't say anything more, forcing a smile and agreeing, "Yes, yes, it's just a misunderstanding."

Li Huaiyu looked at his sister with suspicion and said, "Is that really true? Then why did I hear a commotion from so far away, with legs and bears?"

Huiyi sighed and secretly gave Lin Er another sharp look.

Look what you've done!

It took all three of them a lot of effort to fool two of them before they went their separate ways.

Leaving the woods, He Yu withdrew her gaze and asked Cai Xu, "Tell me, what exactly happened?"

"And who are those two ladies?"

Thinking of that beautiful face, He Yu felt a ripple in her heart and couldn't help but ask another question.

He used to never believe in love at first sight, thinking it was just a vague and unrealistic notion.

It's most likely just lust at first sight.

But just now, his thoughts wavered.

The woman was quite beautiful, but not stunningly so. He Yu had seen many beautiful women before, but only this one had stirred some unusual feelings in him.

For the first time, he desperately wanted to get to know someone.

However, Cai Xu's explanation was vague and ambiguous.

"It's just that I said a few too many words to that woman, which made her husband jealous and he wanted to punish me. Luckily, Brother He arrived in time, otherwise I would have been in trouble."

"As for those two ladies, I don't know much about them either. They are probably wives of officials in Chang'an. Chang'an is only so big, so we might find out who they are in the future."

Cai Xu thought that since he had already agreed to Princess Chang Le's request, it would be best not to say anything more.

If things go as expected, everything that happened today was also their doing.

They will probably come knocking on our door in the future.

With a thousand thoughts swirling in his mind, Cai Xu suppressed them and put on a smiling face again.

He Yu was well aware of the other party's ambiguity, but assumed that the other party had their own reasons and did not press the matter.

As for Huiyi, because she had been traveling with her elder sister the whole way, Lin Lanting was quite well-behaved, and the journey was peaceful.

But once they returned to the Lin residence and closed the door, the situation changed drastically.

Lin Er was a cunning man who always picked fights when Huiyi was caught off guard.

For example, when sleeping peacefully.

It was like a wall blocking Huiyi's way, leaving Huiyi sandwiched between two walls.

"What's going on between you and that pretty boy? Tell me now!"

Her hot breath brushed against her cheeks, making Huiyi's face burn. She retorted, embarrassed and annoyed, "Who are you questioning!"

Am I a prisoner?

Huiyi has always disliked others' overbearing attitudes, and when she sensed Lin Er's arrogance, she also lost her temper.

Lin Lanting regained some of her composure after being reprimanded like that.

He almost forgot that this girl was prickly and couldn't be dealt with the way she was.

Having figured this out, Lin Lanting softened his stance and stopped blocking Huiyi with a human wall.

He even secretly took Huiyi's hand, which was pressed against his chest, under the covers, and said in a soft voice, "Don't be angry. I was just worried that you would be deceived by those pretty boys, and I acted impulsively."

"Then tell me, why were you laughing and joking with that pretty boy there?"

Lin Er's sudden change of expression caught Huiyi off guard. Faced with a gentle smile, she couldn't bring herself to be fierce.

"...How can you change your expression like that?"

"Fine, since you're so well-behaved and sensible, I might as well tell you."

Huiyi muttered something to herself, and then recounted her conversation with Cai Xu in detail.

After listening quietly, Lin Lanting's displeasure had mostly dissipated, but the scheming Lin Lanting was still plotting.

"Really? You're not lying to me?"

"certainly!"

Huiyi raised her voice, sounding somewhat displeased.

"Then kiss me and I'll believe you."

The true intentions of Lin Lanting were revealed without reservation. Huiyi shook off his hand and scoffed, "Trying to take advantage of me? Do you think I'm stupid?"

Lin Lanting changed the subject and said, "Then I can kiss you too."

Huiyi was almost laughing in exasperation at him. She kicked him a few times in the blankets and grumbled, "Don't even think about it. Go to sleep. You can have anything in your dreams!"

As she spoke, Huiyi turned to go to sleep.

But as soon as he moved his waist, his shoulder was suddenly pressed back, and then a hot body pressed down on him forcefully.

Before Huiyi could react, a heavier weight fell upon her, and her lips were firmly covered, followed by a series of licks and bites.

"Lin...you...you bastard~"

"How dare you... I... wait... wait..."

He wanted to curse, but only a few broken words came out, making him look extremely pathetic.

Unlike last time, tonight's kiss was much gentler and more lingering.

But this does not mean that Huiyi can break free.

When Huiyi's limbs were weak from the kisses and her thoughts were in complete disarray, she was indignant about how Lin Er's arms were so long, like shackles, once they wrapped around her, she couldn't break free.

I felt completely exhausted; it was as if the bones in my toes had disappeared, and my whole body felt like it had lost its strength.

Even though Lin Er noticed that she was having difficulty breathing and gave her several chances to catch her breath, Huiyi still couldn't withstand his relentless harassment.

I don't know where he got such a long enthusiasm from; even though his mouth was numb, he didn't seem to lose interest.

Even the nimble Lin Er was still clinging to her. Seeing that Huiyi was almost out of breath, he mercifully let go.

then……

It slid down and wreaked havoc on her neck.

"Get away! Get away!"

"It itches! You can't kiss me!"

It was like being tickled in the armpit during a playful fight. The moment the skin on her neck was sucked, Huiyi tensed up and started hitting the other person.

It's a terrifying feeling.

Clearly, the instigator also noticed this, and chuckled, "So this is where you're most sensitive, I'll remember that."

In her shame and anger, Huiyi only wanted revenge, so she lunged forward and bit Lin Lanting's neck.

Although she couldn't see him, Huiyi was satisfied just by hearing him hiss.

"Serves you right!"

Huiyi huffed and cursed, then covered her neck with both hands to prevent Lin Er from biting her.

Seeing Huiyi's little movement clearly in the darkness, Lin Lanting chuckled softly.

Because they were so close, Lin Er's trembling chest carried her along with him, making her feel both strange and a little embarrassed.

"Get off me, don't press down on me."

He gave him a push, but the person on top of him didn't budge. Huiyi stared at him in the darkness.

I don't know where I went wrong with that glare. Instead of intimidating Lin Er, it brought trouble upon myself.

At first, Huiyi thought that Lin Er had brought some kind of dagger to bed.

It made her stomach uncomfortable.

But the more she felt something was wrong, the hotter it seemed, and the more supple it felt against her abdomen.

A dagger shouldn't feel like this.

The booklet her aunt gave her inappropriately flooded her mind, and the vivid pictures evoked Huiyi's memories.

This posture, this position...

This thing looks like...

Realizing what it was, Huiyi froze, her face burning.

She was always bold, and immediately retorted angrily, "Get that filthy thing away from me!"

Lin Lanting had long felt his desires and had been trying to suppress them, but upon hearing Huiyi's angry rebuke, he suddenly laughed.

Not only did he not remove it, but he also deliberately poked Huiyi twice, swearing at her, "What filthy thing? This is my good brother who will serve the princess in the future. How is he filthy?"

Huiyi knew that she was no match for a crude soldier like Lin Er when it came to foul language.

Even though she had heard many village women cursing in the streets when she was a child, she did not learn it.

Therefore, faced with Lin Er's filthy words, she hesitated for a long time before finally managing to utter a single word.

"I said it's dirty, so it's dirty. Take it away right now, or I'll chop it up for you tomorrow!"

Lin Lanting was both amused and exasperated by these bold words, but a sense of greed also arose within him.

He persisted, saying, "You're so heartless! Do you know how much my good brother is suffering because of you? Not only will you not help me, you'll also chop me up. It seems I'll be in pain all night."

Pretending to be serious, Lin Er groaned and rolled off her, curling up as if enduring immense pain.

Huiyi looked at it for a while with some doubt, but finally spoke up.

"If you're not feeling well, go see a doctor. What are you pretending to be pitiful for!"

Lin Lanting continued in a muffled voice, "No need, just bear with it for most of the night, no need to see a doctor."

Huiyi, unaware of the situation, didn't try to persuade it further, only muttering, "If I don't want to go, I don't want to go. But what does this have to do with me? I didn't hit it."

Lin Lanting seized every opportunity to say something nice and immediately replied, "It's because I miss you so much, it hurts."

It was an outrageous statement, but Huiyi blushed for no apparent reason.

Can it really hurt like this?

For a moment, Huiyi remained silent, lying flat on her back, intending to pretend to be deaf and dumb to get through the night.

But this was not the ending Lin Lanting wanted. Seeing Huiyi burying her head in the sand, he leaned closer and whispered in her ear, "Princess, could you help me and make me feel better?"

After hesitating for a few moments, Huiyi asked, bewildered, "How can I help?"

Seeing the fish take the bait, Lin Lanting's eyes became even more sparkling. Without saying a word, he took Huiyi's hand and slowly guided it.

"Touch it."

"Touch it, and it won't feel uncomfortable anymore."

It was like the devil's whisper, filled with some kind of temptation.

Huiyi was bewildered, and when she came to her senses, her palms were burning hot.

That scoundrel Lin Er has tricked her again.

He said he would only touch her a few times, but once he started, Huiyi was forced to endure his ministrations for almost half an hour.

After a violent tremor, the bed curtains stopped shaking, and everything returned to calm.

Looking at her dirty palms, Huiyi almost burst into tears.

In the end, it was Lin Er, the culprit, who secretly went to the bathroom to fetch water and carefully cleaned her up. He then blew on her palms for a long time while gently coaxing her with sweet words.

"Get lost, take your filthy thing with you!"

After uttering those words, Huiyi threw herself into the bed and ignored him, facing the wall.

Lin Lanting wasn't annoyed; in fact, he kept smiling.

After all, he got a great deal tonight, so he might as well take a beating.
