Chapter 115 Shiro
Duan Gan released her hand, pulled her up, and looked at her, seemingly wanting to say something but hesitating.
"if…"
"But I still really like this kind of life, free and unrestrained. I come from humble backgrounds and I'm someone who doesn't like to be bound by rules and regulations."
Tao Tao reached up and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, then looked up at him with a smile.
He paused for a moment, then said in a calm voice, "If you have power, you can also be free."
Tao Tao looked up at him, a smile playing on her lips: "Then are you free, Master?"
He looked down at her and said, "It'll be soon."
An individual's freedom is built upon rights, and the freedom of rights, when one becomes the most powerful person in the country and controls the life and death of everyone, is not far from true freedom.
Would you like to become more free with me?
He got off her, stood by the bed, and reached out to her.
She looked down at the large hand in front of her, thought for a moment, and then placed her hand in his palm.
He curved his lips into a smile, his eyes brimming with tenderness.
"Master, the timing is not right for us yet."
Tao Tao got out of bed, took his hand, walked to the door, pushed the door open, and pushed him out with both hands.
"Si Lang, go to bed early."
With a beaming smile, the rosewood door was closed once more.
Shiro?
Is she calling me...?
He couldn't help but be captivated by the intimate call he had just heard, and a blush suddenly crept up his ears.
The next moment, he realized that this seemed to be his dormitory room.
Duan Gan chuckled and rubbed his forehead, then turned and walked into the adjacent side room.
Tao Tao turned around and looked around. The round table and stools made of Phoebe zhennan wood were carved with exquisite fish and bird patterns. This kind of wood is worth a fortune and is known as the jade among woods.
It's such a waste to use them to make tables and chairs.
The screen in the room is made of purple sandalwood, and a majestic Taotie is embroidered in the style of Suzhou embroidery. Its eyes are so lifelike that the obsession and darkness in them seem to have a tangible presence, instilling fear in the viewer.
Who would keep a ferocious beast in their dorm room without feeling disgusted?
She frowned, somewhat puzzled.
She shifted her gaze elsewhere; the exquisite vases and decorations were far from ordinary.
She turned and walked towards the bed. The beaded curtain in the middle was made of strings of pearls, which swayed and made some noise as she walked.
The small pearls are bright white and round, and they are very beautiful. These are freshwater pearls from the northern river, which are extremely rare and precious.
The pearls on the hairpins worn by the young ladies of the imperial family and nobility in the capital were made from these Eastern pearls.
The room exudes an air of extravagance.
Tao Tao slowly stepped forward, sat on the edge of the bed, and reached out to touch the bedding.
She hadn't noticed that the bedding was dark-colored, soft and delicate to the touch, and even made of silk—it was truly luxurious.
The more she looked, the more she felt that this room might not be his bedroom.
As soon as the thought came to her mind, she felt as if she had been burned, and quickly got up and ran to the couch behind the screen to sit down.
After all that commotion, she was exhausted. The bed was big enough for two people to lie down comfortably, so she lay down and closed her eyes to sleep.
She couldn't sleep so soundly in the room next door.
The curtains moved without wind, revealing the man lying on the bed. His cold and indifferent brows furrowed, and as a soft moan escaped from the corner of his lips, a beautiful blush rose on his cheeks.
The girl straddling his waist had flushed cheeks and her autumn eyes were fixed on him with affection. She wore a crimson bodice, which made her fair and delicate body look even more tender and alluring.
Like a plump, tender, and juicy peach that bursts with flavor with every bite.
He stared blankly, his eyes dark and unfathomable, his dry throat bobbing.
It wasn't until she felt a warm sensation in her abdomen that she managed to look away and down. What she saw made her gasp. She was only wearing a thin pair of underwear on her lower body.
She murmured softly, her voice gentle and tender, calling out affectionately, "Si Lang..."
Her slender, delicate fingers reached out and her cool palm covered his burning face. He looked at her with hazy eyes and gently rubbed his cheek against her soft hand.
As she slowly leaned down, her two rosy, soft lips, like flower petals, lingered above his lips, seemingly close yet distant.
He held his breath, afraid of startling the person on top of him.
"Shiro...close your eyes..."
Her coquettish voice fell into his ears and went straight into the depths of his heart.
He couldn't bear to look away, staring intently at her. Seeing that he wouldn't listen to her, she frowned, straightened up, and swayed her slender waist back and forth.
Seeing that she wouldn't give it to him, he quickly closed his eyes and waited quietly for her fragrant lips to fall.
The girl on top of him chuckled softly, then did the opposite, her soft little hand reaching down, and Duan Gan suddenly let out a groan.
"Tao'er!"
He suddenly woke up and sat up abruptly.
The girl on his body had vanished. He suddenly realized something, lifted the covers, and frowned.
As dawn broke, soft footsteps could be heard outside the door.
"Miss, are you awake?"
A respectful inquiry came from outside, but after waiting for a while, there was still no response. The servants, unsure of the temperament of the person inside, had no choice but to wait at the door.
The people in the adjacent side room were already dressed and ready. When they came out, they saw a group of people standing at the dormitory door.
"She's still not awake?"
Duan Gan knocked on the door. "Tao Tao?"
After knocking three times without any response, he pushed the door open and went inside.
Upon entering the inner room, the bed remained as messy as it had been the night before, but the room was now empty.
Just as the horizon began to lighten, Tao Tao got up and left, otherwise it would have been too embarrassing to bump into her.
The guards in the manor were naturally aware of this, but this person was a bit special. She was a young woman, and she seemed to have a close relationship with her master. After careful consideration, they decided not to interfere.
After noon, Tao Tao saw Leng Qiao appear at the door of the shop in the east of the city.
Her face was a little pale, and she looked somewhat haggard.
"I'm about to leave the city. Are you here to teach me martial arts?"
She didn't plan to bring anyone with her when she left the city, nor did she need to.
"Is Miss going to see that strange man?"
A strange man? That old man.
"Yes, I promised to bring him something."
"Please allow Leng Qiao to accompany me, Miss."
Upon hearing this, Tao Tao was taken aback, not understanding why she wanted to go with her.
"No need, I'll be back soon."
"That old man's martial arts skills are unfathomable; I'm afraid Miss may be in danger."
Leng Qiao frowned, her eyes showing disapproval.
"Are you worried that I'll tell Master? Don't worry, I won't say anything."
She got into the carriage, pulled on the reins, and the horse neighed and galloped forward.
Upon seeing this, Leng Qiao immediately boarded the carriage.
Seeing that she persisted, Tao Tao didn't say anything more.
When she arrived at the mortuary, she handed the things over to Bi Shi'an. Seeing how pitifully thin he was, she even brought him a roasted chicken.
Seeing him eating with his mouth full of oil, she smiled and said, "Is it delicious, Grandpa? If it's delicious, you should teach me something later, right?"
