Chapter 153 The Person in My Heart
Justice for her, justice for the people here.
He became the local official and the judge, and also became an existence of unshakable pride in her heart.
She told herself not to sink any deeper, but now she couldn't take a step forward. Perhaps it was the wine or the loneliness of tonight, she was suffering silently.
Zhao Yan wiped her tears and whispered, "Why are you crying? Is it because of me? Are you reluctant to leave me..."
With red eyes, he asked again, "You still love me, right..."
Afterwards, she looked at him, her eyes blurred with tears, filled with attachment and unrelieved pain.
Her eyes were full of herself, she was dazed. He put down his hand that was wiping her face, held her face and slowly moved closer. She did not refuse, but just closed her eyes. Maybe it was the east wind's fault that she kept sinking into depravity.
He held her up and stood up, his arms were so strong, then he put her on the bed, kissed her over and over again, calling her name. She thought that she was 24 years old now and her heart was as hard as iron, but only now did she realize that she was still as vulnerable as before.
He held her in his arms, his breath was so fresh and yet so hot. His arms locked her tightly in his embrace, whispering her name over and over again.
The sounds of their heartbeats gradually became clearer, and finally he kissed her.
He stared into her eyes, his deep pupils full of tenderness, like a pool of spring water, rippling with clear blue waves.
The room was slowly filled with fragrance, and her fingers caressed his strong arms like a dragonfly skimming the water. Her movements were slow and gentle, but they made his heart tremble slightly.
She was a little cold, and perhaps he knew it. After a while, he hugged her tightly, as if kneading her into his body.
He kept talking in her ear, calling her name softly, until she ran out of strength.
The winding vines climbed up the carved pillars, the moonlight sprinkled gently, he lowered his head slightly, and kissed her fingers with a gentle gesture. She whispered in his arms, saying words she didn't understand, but he listened carefully, feeling the tenderness and fragility deep in her heart.
After an unknown amount of time, she had already broken out in a thin sweat and clung to him tightly. He asked, "Are you okay?"
She no longer had the consciousness to answer. Later, she only knew that he coaxed her once again, accepted her, and went to Wushan with her to make love.
The night passed little by little, and at the fifth watch, people who had been keeping watch began to go to bed. An Yuan and An Fu also turned off the lights and fell into a deep sleep.
In the room, Zhao Yan was gently kissing the tears from the corners of her eyes. The last time he did that, he was too reckless and too excessive, causing her to sob and beg for mercy. But this time, he was smiling and holding her tightly in his arms, as if she were a treasure.
He actually didn't want to sleep. Everything that happened just now was too much like a dream. He was afraid that he would wake up after falling asleep. He wanted to look at her like this, but he was tired all night and finally fell asleep when it was almost dawn.
When the light came into the room, he opened his eyes and looked down at the person in his arms. She was so quiet and soft lying beside him. His heart was moved and filled with endless tenderness. He couldn't help but kiss her ravaged red lips. At this time, someone outside said, "Young Master."
It was Anfu's voice. Zhao Yan was very reluctant, but he didn't want to wake her up, so he got up from the bed, carefully tucked the corner of the quilt for her, and whispered to her, "I'll be back soon."
After getting out of bed, he walked outside very quietly and closed the door.
Ask, "What's wrong?"
Anfu said, "Sir, the officials from the government office arrived early this morning and said they were bringing New Year gifts."
Although Zhao Yan didn't like these, he also knew that this was a very special time and the New Year always had a special meaning.
"I'll be right there. Please get some water and put it in the other bedroom."
After the two left, Yu Huatang slowly woke up. She first looked at the unfamiliar bed, the quilt on her body, and her naked body.
Last night's wine was intoxicating. She slowly stood up, took her clothes from the side, put them on one by one, and went back to her room while no one was around.
After the water was boiled, she immersed herself in it and felt a little comfortable. Last night was really too ridiculous. Why did she agree to do it and have sex with him?
He was different from what she had ever seen him do last night. He was so tender and affectionate time and time again, and kept saying sweet words to her. In the end, he was so fierce and tyrannical that she could not resist.
Only then did she come to her senses. She could no longer go to his place, and she couldn't do this anymore...
Although New Year's Eve is lonely, she should have gotten used to it by now and should remain firm in the path she has chosen.
After a long time, when the water had cooled down a little, she finally calmed down.
…………
After Zhao Yan sent the government officials away, he returned to his room, but he didn't see her. Did she leave? Did she just leave when no one was around?
I don’t know if she felt uncomfortable last night. She must have been shy. Thinking this, he walked towards her yard.
The courtyard gate was open. He walked in and knocked on the door. He heard footsteps from inside. After a while, the door opened, but only a small part was revealed, just enough for him to see her eyes.
She glanced at him quickly, then lowered her head and asked, "Master Zhao, is there anything else?"
Zhao Yan was stunned for a moment. She had just finished showering, was wearing another set of clothes, and her hair was still a little wet. It was obvious that she had showered in a hurry.
So the heat in bed hadn't completely dissipated yet, but she had already uncovered it?
He looked at her and said, "Someone from the government office came just now and I went to receive them. I was afraid you would misunderstand and think I was irresponsible, so I came to find you."
She said in an unnatural tone, "Master Zhao, you don't need to explain this to me, and I don't need you to take any responsibility on my part."
But he ignored her and said, "Let me in. I have something to tell you."
Yu Huatang glanced outside. Someone might come to pay New Year's greetings soon. It would be bad if they saw him, so she opened the door and let her in.
After entering the door, Zhao Yan immediately came over to hug her. She broke free and said seriously, "Sir, please tell me what you want to say."
He was surprised. “What does this mean?”
"It's nothing. What happened last night was just consensual. As I just said, I don't need Lord Zhao to take any responsibility." She said with her head down.
"You said you don't need it?" He was surprised again, "We were husband and wife last night..."
"I drank too much last night. I don't know what happened afterwards or why this happened. But if I were sober, I wouldn't have done that," she murmured.
Zhao Yan was a little stunned. "So you think I got you drunk on purpose so I could do something bad? Huatang..."
Yu Huatang turned his face away. "That's not the case. You are a gentleman. But I want to say that if I hadn't been a little drunk, I wouldn't have done this. Like I said just now, let's just assume that it's consensual and there's no need to say anything more."
