Chapter 113
"I won't fall for... Noah."
"Um."
"Wait for me a little longer, okay?"
Shi Yu leaned against Wayne's forehead, her face flushed, and spoke softly in a slightly hurried tone. Wayne looked at her with silent green eyes, then slowly tightened his palm on the lower back, telling him the answer with his actions.
When Shigure and Wayne separated, the heat on his cheeks had not yet been blown away by the wind.
Xia Feng came to see Shi Yu again before she was about to go back. Shi Yu was glad that it was night time and Xia Feng might not notice her abnormality... This was indeed the case. Xia Feng glanced at her and then looked away. He took off a single ear clip from behind his ear and handed it to Shi Yu.
"What's this?"
"You can contact us at any time using our communicator." Seeing Shi Yu's confusion, Xia Feng approached and used his fingers to push back the girl's soft hair from her ears. He paused when he saw the small red spot on her neck, then put it on her with an expressionless face. "Alphas are not allowed to do anything out of line during the trial marriage period. If you don't like him, you don't have the ability to refuse."
"Just ask us to handle it."
After putting on the ear clip, Shi Yu felt a little itchy. He touched his earlobe and said guiltily, "Thank you."
...If only it had been brought earlier, things that shouldn't have happened have already happened!
But having this means I can be more confident in rejecting Noah in the future! After carefully listening to the instructions on how to activate the communicator and making sure they wouldn't be troubled by Sturga and could leave safely, Shigure reluctantly said goodbye to them, holding up her skirt, and walked towards the garden exit.
Before stepping onto the main road, Shi Yu took advantage of the light on the small road to see her appearance clearly. She exclaimed "Ah", feeling a little distressed and at a loss.
The dress was a fishtail off-shoulder dress. The lower part of the skirt had been rolled up for too long, becoming wrinkled and hemmed everywhere. The chest part was also a little loose for some reason. She blushed and adjusted it, but it was just barely acceptable.
Shi Yu bit her lip and walked forward slowly. She had sneaked down and messed up her dress like this. She really couldn't imagine what Noah would say to her... He must have noticed that she was gone now, right?
After all, I've been with Wayne and the others for nearly an hour...
The closer she got to the exit of the garden, the more footsteps she could hear. Shi Yu hesitated and stopped. Just as she was hesitating about whether to hide and then go to Noah to apologize, a tall and strong Alpha suddenly strode up the dark path beside her. Before Shi Yu could react, he grabbed her arm tightly and pulled it, causing her to stumble and fall into his arms.
"Found it."
He raised the communicator in his hand and reported to the other party.
The smell of the sea surged into Shi Yu's nose. After a moment of confusion, he exclaimed in surprise, "Xiu?"
"What are you doing?" Xiu put away the communicator, looked down at her, and chuckled slightly mockingly, "You sneaked out, wanting to elope with someone else?"
"I didn't...let me go!"
Shi Yu struggled, but the more she moved, the closer Xiu held her, his strength so strong that it almost made her cry. She simply yelled, "You pervert, let me go!"
"Who are you calling perverted?"
Xiu stretched out his long arm, held her shoulders and neck and led her forward. Shi Yu was unwilling, so Xiu mercilessly grabbed her collarbone, bent his other knuckles, lifted her chin, and forced her to look at him with angry eyes.
"I'll ask you again, who are you calling a pervert?"
The boy's voice was low and dangerous. They had already walked into the light. Shi Yu's chest rose and fell rapidly. She was forced to look up at him. She could feel the aggressive gaze from her eyes to her lips, and then down along her neck, sinking into her clothes that had become loose due to the fierce struggle just now and could no longer cover her scenery.
She had just reached adulthood, but she had already developed very well. Xiu narrowed his eyes slightly and could not help but associate her with a plate of plump and juicy rabbit meat.
Even though he had no experience, Alpha's intuition and observation were always sharp. His eyes were fixed on the parts with obvious marks, and he realized that she had been tasted by someone.
"Say you..."
The Omega's face flushed red, and she was still struggling unconvinced. Xiu didn't pay much attention to her. He only used part of his strength to subdue her, and he could even leisurely and slowly press his fingertips accurately on the marks on her neck and slowly caress them.
"Who's the pervert?"
He asked with a chuckle, hinting at something.
Shi Yu instinctively trembled, but Xiu did not restrain himself. It seemed that her embarrassment made him even more excited. His brown eyes stared at her expression like a beast with interest.
Shi Yu almost went limp in his arms, just like Wayne had done to her before, but this physiological reaction made her feel extremely ashamed when facing Xiu. She could only try her best to turn her eyes away, her eyelashes trembling to avoid looking at him.
“…”
Crying.
When he saw the other person's body trembling slightly and tears falling, Xiu was stunned, and frowned slightly as if he had escaped from some uncontrollable emotions.
Shi Yu cried silently, and Xiu also remained silent with an ugly expression. He had to let go of the girl, straightened up, and took off his suit jacket.
The clothes fell on the girl's bare shoulders.
Without anyone's orders, just like during training, his clothes protected the girl from the cold and also blocked the things that made her uneasy.
"Is it ready?"
Xiu looked down at her and asked, suppressing the emotions in his tone.
Shi Yu wiped her tears without looking at him, turned around and walked towards the garden exit with unsteady steps. Xiu tugged at his tie, his chest heaving deeply, and he struggled to maintain his sanity.
He raised his legs to catch up, following behind her at a distance.
Shi Yu did not return to the banquet hall. Before she was about to step through the door in this manner, Xiu reminded her in a bad attitude, then pulled her to his side and drove her back to her room.
Yu Lai was on duty today and was not there. Shi Yu went upstairs in a daze. Nicole had already received the news and came back to wait at her door, but Shi Yu remembered what Nicole had done today and did not let her into the room to help take care of herself.
She took off her heavy dress by herself, washed her body, and then lay on the bed in a daze with her wet black hair.
The banquet had not ended yet, and she hadn't seen Noah just now, but Shi Yu knew that Noah would definitely come.
Too many things happened today, and Shi Yu felt deeply sleepy besides being tired. She had previously thought that although the people of Sturga were distant, they were all very friendly, except for Xiu... However, what happened today made her understand that Sturga was absolutely centered around Noah, and was nice to her only because she and Noah were trial marriage partners.
Nicole locked her in the lounge of the banquet today, but what would he do if Youlai was there?
Noah had clearly suggested a trial marriage as a deal, and Shigure had reiterated their relationship countless times in her mind. Yet, she was now confused. If it was called a deal, why did Noah lock her up after meeting Wayne at the party? And then why did he send so many people looking for her...?
After a month, would she really be free to leave Sturga?
Shi Yu felt more and more sleepy. She closed her eyes as if to escape, unwilling to think about the questions that she already had vague answers to in her mind.
Shi Yu fell into a deep sleep.
When I opened my eyes again, my head was dizzy and my body was sore and painful. The moonlight outside the window was quiet and it looked like it was already late at night.
Shigure heard a polite yet restrained knock on the door.
She squinted her eyes and didn't want to care. As expected, the loyal maid helped Noah open the door. The light from outside came in and formed a small beam on the carpet.
"Are you asleep, Shigure?"
Noah asked gently.
Shi Yu was covered with the quilt. When he approached, she slowly and cautiously stood up, hugged the quilt to her chest, and looked away, "...I just fell asleep."
"Sorry," Noah paused, "for disturbing your rest."
Shi Yu pursed her lips and said nothing. Noah was still wearing the white suit he wore to the dinner. There was a hint of fatigue between his brows, but he still had a smile on his face as he came to sit down beside Shi Yu's bed.
Shi Yu lowered his head and noticed the monitoring ring on his wrist, feeling a little relieved.
"Did you go see him today?"
“…”
"How can you be so willful?" Noah's tone seemed slightly stern. "Do you know how dangerous it is to go down from the window?"
“That’s because…!”
When Shi Yu heard this, he immediately refuted him, raised his head, and his eyes were almost accusing, "Nicole locked me up!"
Noah said calmly, "That was for your safety. Nicole was just following my instructions."
"You know I want to go..."
"You want to see Wayne Clement."
Noah chuckled and said, "I know."
"I don't mean to blame you, but Shigure, you should also understand my discomfort when you go on a tryst with another Alpha during our trial marriage period."
"You clearly know what our relationship is," Shi Yu told him angrily, "You said it yourself at the beginning, so I came to try marriage with you."
"Does that mean you can ignore my wishes and go see him anyway?"
Noah still looked calm, but his words were not as reserved as before. He looked up at her and asked.
"Have I never brought you happiness, Shigure?"
“…”
Shi Yu was breathing slightly, his back leaning against the headboard, sweating from nervousness.
"Don't say that. That time was just..."
"Even if I pleased you before, you would just treat it as an accident, right?"
Noah was always gentle and humble in both expression and behavior, but Shi Yu felt a terrifying and condescending sense of oppression from his words at this moment, which made Shi Yu pale and he couldn't help but avoid looking at him.
"...You're really hard to please, Shigure." He stared at Shigure for a while, as if he got the answer from her. His tone softened and he smiled helplessly, "I just said that I don't mean to blame you. No matter what you do, I can only accept it."
"Are you injured today?"
Feeling Noah's goodwill, Shi Yu's tension eased a little. She shook her head: "...No."
"So, can you tell me what's wrong with your shoulder?"
Shi Yu's breath was caught, and she realized that the quilt she was holding to her chest had slipped down at some point. Being asked about this during her brief state of relaxation made her even more at a loss than before.
"Xiu also came to see you today. Did he do it accidentally?"
Noah asked, smiling and placing his hands on his knees.
Shi Yu didn't know how to answer. She hurriedly hugged the quilt again. Her emotions, pushed to the limit, made her cover her face silently and sob softly: "...Don't ask."
"Um?"
"Don't ask... please!"
"I was too impulsive today, but I think it's better for us to return to our previous state. Don't you want a chance to be promoted in the military? In a month, after we end this relationship, you can..."
Noah sighed softly and told her like he was teaching a confused student, "Shigure, I've been trained as the heir to Sturga since I was little. Why do I have to go to the military to develop my career?"
“…”
"But... before that, you lied to me?"
Shi Yu looked at her blankly, his eyes more like helplessness than the doubt and anger after being deceived.
Noah's position and his purpose became a mystery, and she began to doubt whether her decision to come here was correct.
"I like you very much, Shigure."
Noah did not answer her question. The girl's hair was messy and stuck to her cheeks, stuck together by tears and sweat. He frowned slightly, as if he wanted to reach out to comb her hair.
However, he had put on a monitoring ring before coming, and just by touching her skin, the monitoring ring made a slight sound of warning.
Noah lowered his eyes and looked at Shi Yu gently, "Untie it for me."
The monitoring ring is the last line of defense to protect her. Shi Yu just thinks Noah's request is ridiculous and she will never agree to it. However, the moment his voice fell, Shi Yu's limbs seemed to be out of the control of her brain consciousness. She stretched out her hand in a daze and placed it on the other's wrist.
The thin blanket slid down to the waist and abdomen again, and the skin exposed to the cool air began to sweat.
Superpowers...
After Shi Yu left the training camp, no Alpha was seen to use supernatural powers again - in addition to the fact that the law prohibits the use of supernatural powers on ordinary people, this is a talent that only very few Alphas possess, and it is closely related to bloodline, family inheritance, and talent.
Noah was obviously one of the chosen ones, and she had been controlled by him during training.
Why would she forget?
Shi Yu looked at him in astonishment and panic, but her fingers obediently removed the monitoring ring bit by bit. Then, like a puppet that would not resist, she was held in the boy's arms.
"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you," Noah patted her back and comforted her. "I've never done anything to hurt you just to satisfy my own selfish desires, right? Even that time in the mountains, you cooperated in the end."
“…”
"Look at me more, Shi Yu. I never intended to have a transactional relationship with you. At least during the trial marriage period, I hope you can only look at me."
"Good boy, be obedient."
Noah kissed her eyelashes gently, as if he was thinking about her wholeheartedly. He leaned against her cheek, smiled and said softly, "Youlai is still immature. You will follow Xiu from now on. But don't worry, he won't do anything to you."
"There's still another location for the trial. Even if I'm busy, I'll always be by your side."
The author has something to say:
Noah is a dark guy, it's time to play prisoner/imprisonment P/lay with his sister
...I said before that the trial marriage chapter was exciting, and now it is indeed exciting (dumbfounded)
But I had a great time writing it, hehe.
ps: Neither of them crossed the line with the girl, at most they kissed, hugged and did that, nothing else.
