Chapter 109 Chapter 109 The Storm is Coming (VI)...
The night sky was as clear as a mirror, dotted with stars. Two clouds slowly approached each other, layer upon layer, until they merged into one, never to be separated again.
They are so close together that there is no air between them, and there is no gap between the sky and the shadows of the clouds.
Under the full moon, the lake water was originally as clear as a mirror, but suddenly ripples appeared, one wave after another, and it seemed that there was no way to stop it.
“…Hmm…”
Ji Lian was pushed against the lakeside, hugging Xie Tingyu tightly with her arms, her lips slightly parted, her mind in a trance, sighs spilling out from between her teeth.
The strange yet bone-chilling feeling tore every inch of his soul apart.
Ji Lian's eyes suddenly widened, and the starlight in the sky seemed to pour into his eyes. The light and shadow flowed, and in his daze, all the light flowed out.
“I…I…”
The numbness and swelling still lingered. Ji Lian bit her lip and looked over in embarrassment. The insect was still rapidly moving through her blood due to the ups and downs just now. "How could it be so fast... I, I..."
His cheeks flushed red, and his voice was so soft and inaudible, "It's too tight."
"Men's first time is always this quick."
Xie Tingyu kissed Ji Lian on the tip of her nose, "How can you blame me?"
"I don't."
Ji Lian kissed Xie Tingyu's lips flatteringly, letting her nibble and nibble on them, her tongue swirling around them. "I, I'm afraid you'll dislike me."
A faint tingling sensation mixed with heat slowly rose again.
"Lianlian, you are so cute."
"Why would I dislike you?"
Xie Tingyu gently stroked his smooth back with her fingertips, circling it in circles, and wrapped her tongue around him, "You'll find the pleasure of this after doing it a few times."
Compared to the hasty swallowing just now, this time it was slow but not slow, and it stretched out for a long time, yet it hit deep into his soul again and again.
There is an incredible fit between them.
Tighter, sharper, reaching the extreme.
In this seemingly isolated world, Ji Lian hugged Xie Tingyu tightly, his eyes unfocused as he looked at the still rippling water surface. He held her earlobe in his mouth, trying his best to calm the heat surging in his body.
She was right.
This kind of extreme joy and total indulgence can really make people addicted and unable to extricate themselves.
Indeed, only by being with her can I have such a wonderful experience.
As they rose and fell, both of their faces were wet with water droplets and their hair was damp.
Xie Tingyu gently held Ji Lian's face in his hands. A few crystal drops of water rolled down from his forehead, slid all the way to his lips, and stopped on the bright red mole.
She held his lips, used the tip of her tongue to pick up the drop of water, and then went into his mouth to linger with him.
Although I was in the cold pool, I felt as if everything around me was soaked in heat.
Ji Lian saw a myriad of flowers blooming before his eyes, but he couldn't see clearly.
I felt like a little fox caught in the hands of a hunter, unable to struggle and could only let himself be controlled.
"Um, w-where are we going?"
Feeling his hand being held, he followed it out of the pool.
Moon-stepping Zhui stood quietly by the lake, waiting docilely. Through its clear eyes, it saw its master, holding another's hand, gradually disappearing behind the dense bushes.
A rustling sound gradually arose.
Stepping on the Moon could not help but snort.
It didn't understand human affairs, but the intermittent sighs and whimpers behind the bushes made even the horse blush and feel hot.
"I can't take it anymore... wu... I want to get up..."
"Xie, Xie Tingyu, you bad guy!"
"How many times has this happened?"
After a long time, the sound finally subsided.
Stepping on the Moon Zhui curiously went around the bushes and saw that both the naked bodies and hair of the two men were covered with grass debris, dirt, and water droplets.
The man, who had been snatched back by his master, seemed bathed in a rosy glow, his entire body tinged with a faint blush. His eyes were moist, and his swollen lips moved in a way that accused his master of his actions.
He murmured in a low voice, saying that it was only his first time, and why did he do this so often? His skin must be broken, swollen and painful.
The master intertwined her fingers with his and vowed that if it was really swollen the next day, she would apply medicine for him.
"Go away! Who asked you to apply medicine? You are such a bad guy, how could you possibly apply medicine for me honestly!" His voice was hoarse.
The master turned to leave, but he wrapped his arms around her waist like a vine from behind, begging her not to leave in a hoarse voice. Unexpectedly, the master turned around and smiled: "Is it really swollen? Let me see. You're hurting me a little now."
Xie Tingyu held up the night pearl in front of Ji Lian, then slowly moved it down. Under the bright light of the pearl, all the fingerprints on Lianlang's body remained intact.
The light and shadow slid down to the flat and tight belly. The cinnabar dots had long faded away, leaving only a white area.
She reached out to touch it, and the cinnabar still felt rough and uneven under her fingertips.
"My toad's blood is gone."
Ji Lianyi lowered her head and looked at that place, muttering softly, "You took away my innocence."
"You are responsible for me."
Xie Tingyu nodded seriously, "Okay, okay, okay, I will definitely be responsible for you."
The night pearl illuminated a spot, and Xie Tingyu carefully examined it. "It's not swollen, it's just that you were too excited and immersed in it, and haven't calmed down yet - well -"
Ji Lian was so embarrassed that she covered Xie Tingyu's mouth and said, "Stop talking! Don't talk!"
Stepping on the Moon does not understand.
The human world is really strange.
Xie Tingyu returned with Ji Lian. The men had already started a fire, roasting their hunted prey until it sizzled, a fragrant aroma wafting in the air. They had cleared a space beside the fire and laid out a thick blanket for them to rest.
When Jiangzhu saw Ji Lian dismounting, he hurried forward to support her, but tonight his steps were slightly shaky, unlike usual.
Ji Lian took off her wedding dress and put on her ordinary clothes before leaving the carriage. Xie Tingyu was already waiting outside and held out his hand to take her in.
Xie's personal guards all looked over, their pupils narrowing slightly as their gazes lingered on the strange man for a moment longer. Only Cen Xiu knew Ji Lian's identity, but he remained silent.
Yu Wen Yue whistled and said half-jokingly, "So the master is going to snatch his beloved away."
She nudged Cen Xiu with her elbow and asked, "Do you know who this man is?"
Cen Xiu blushed and just shook her head and said she didn't know.
Even if she knew, she wouldn't dare to say it! How could she dare to say it?
After the meal, Xie Tingyu helped Ji Lian into the carriage, found a felt blanket and lay down.
Just as she was about to drift off to sleep, the familiar scent of green lotus lingered at her nose. Someone nimbly slipped beneath the blanket, staring at her with fox-like eyes, tail tip slightly raised.
"You just said you wanted to sleep with me, why did you leave me alone?" Ji Lian's fingertips slid across Xie Tingyu's eyelashes, "I want a hug, I want to sleep with you."
Xie Tingyu's arm was around Ji Lian's waist, and he murmured in a half-asleep state, "I saw your palace attendant in the carriage. Could it be that you want me to sleep between you and him so that I can have both of you?"
"Xie Tingyu!"
Ji Lian was furious, and lightly bit her lips with her pearly teeth, then buried her head in her shoulder. The fear and trepidation she had felt along the way finally dissipated in her arms at this moment.
The group rode non-stop, taking a small path and returning directly to Xia Pi.
Yuan Wangshu was stunned as he watched Xie Tingyu dismount from his horse and personally take a young man wearing a veil from the carriage. He was shocked beyond words.
She really didn't expect that Xie Tingyu could be so quick and efficient and get the person!
No, this is too fast!
Yuan Wangshu coughed lightly a few times, pulled Xie Tingyu aside, and whispered, "You're seizing someone for love, and I don't have any say in that. But where are you going to put her? Don't forget, we have something important to do."
“That’s a really good question.”
Yuan Wangshu thought she would say to place the person at Xie's villa outside, but she said clearly: "Then take Lianlian with you to implement the Tuduan strategy."
"...Huh? Say that again?!"
Xie Tingyu repeated it again, each word clearly, "I will take Lianlian with me to the south."
Yuan Wangshu almost laughed out of anger. Seeing Ji Lian looking over here from time to time, he lowered his voice and said, "Xie Tingyu, do you have a brain disease? We are here to do things, not to travel."
Xie Tingyu chuckled a few times, "I'm afraid he wouldn't be willing to do it without him."
So, with no one daring to object, the group checked out Xia Pi's strategy, then broke camp and set off south.
Ji Lian sat in the carriage, quietly lifted the curtain, and from time to time met the eyes of Xie Tingyu who was riding a horse. This scene was seen by Yuan Wangshu. She sneered, rode her horse through the two of them, and walked to the front of the team.
The group first arrived in Huaiyin.
Along the way, they saw ragged, pale and skinny refugees dragging their worn-out bags begging on the streets. When these people saw Ji Lian's carriage, they rushed forward and stretched out their hands to plead.
Yuan Wangshu swung his whip in the air and swept his cold eyes over. The refugees were immediately frightened and staggered back.
This was Ji Lian's first trip south from the capital. In the past, Jiankang City had only seen the extravagance and prosperity of the royal family, while even the common people had never been so destitute. Now, facing the plight of the refugees, he gained a true understanding of the suffering of the people.
Seeing Yuan Wangshu about to whip him again, Xie Tingyu raised his hand to stop him. "I'm just begging for food to survive, why be so harsh?"
"If you give it to them, they will just keep asking for more."
"But if I don't give it to you, I'm afraid it will cause resentment and lead to trouble."
Xie Tingyu signaled with his eyes, and several of his personal guards distributed the food bags that had been prepared in advance. The refugees kowtowed repeatedly after receiving the food, shouting hoarsely, "Thank you, Lady Bodhisattva."
The carriages and horses entered the city before dark.
There was no need for Xie Tingyu to give any additional instructions. Seeing that the man in the veil was so close to her, the people at the post station naturally arranged the two of them to stay in the same room.
Xie Tingyu brought Ji Lian in, but left alone after a while.
A postman in the corridor saw her gorgeous silk dress and elegant appearance, and immediately had evil thoughts.
After a few soft knocks on the door, Ji Lian opened it to see a heavily made-up man standing there with a smile on his face. He had obviously not expected someone else to be in the room, and his prepared words got stuck in his throat, his face filled with embarrassment.
Ji Lian saw through his intentions and asked coldly, "What do you want?"
The young man stiffened his neck and forced himself to remain calm: "I came here to look for a lady, but I may have walked into the wrong room."
"You're not wrong."
Ji Lian's face was cold and merciless as he said, "My wife is out on business, so she's not in the room. But she's definitely not someone you can dream of, so you'd better leave immediately."
The boy covered his face and fled in panic.
Late at night, Xie Tingyu finally returned home. Her long hair and silk skirt were stained with water droplets. Just then, a sudden thunderclap sounded in the sky, and a drizzle of rain suddenly poured down, tinkling against the open window.
She casually closed the window and was about to untie the sash around her waist when suddenly a pair of bare hands reached out and untied it for her.
The two of them were suddenly very close to each other, their breaths blending together.
Xie Tingyu lowered his eyes and saw Ji Lian approaching. He sniffed her clothes and confirmed that there was no scent of anyone else on her. Then he took off her coat and whispered, "Go take a shower."
When Xie Tingyu came out with wet hair, Ji Lian held the handkerchief and silently wiped her hair, and the two of them looked at each other in silence.
The night rain crackled, the candlelight dimmed, and the curtains drooped. The two lay side by side, their arms and hands touching under the covers.
Xie Tingyu closed his eyes, intending to rest peacefully. He had barely counted to his fifth breath when he heard the person beside him whisper, "More than ten days have passed since you snatched me away that night."
"Um."
Xie Tingyu didn't understand what was going on and just responded softly.
"Since that night, you haven't touched me for more than ten days."
"Is it that I can't satisfy you, or do you have someone else outside?"
Xie Tingyu suddenly opened his eyes, and the sleepiness that had been about to fall into sleep disappeared in an instant, "Ah..."
Before Xie Tingyu could say anything, Ji Lian continued talking to himself.
"You women are really fickle. You are two different people in bed and out of bed."
Xie Tingyu was now 20% sleepier. "What?"
Ji Lian suddenly turned over, a chill running through her body. He pressed himself against her side, biting her earlobe with his lips, his voice tinged with resentment, "It's been over a month since you left the country. When you women are out there, besides offering money, don't you think there are any handsome men?"
"Indeed, there is, hiss—"
Xie Tingyu's breath was choked, and he raised his hand and patted his hand that was pinching his forearm, "But I refused."
"You were not in the room just now, and the postman from the inn offered himself for me, but..."
Ji Lian's hand slid to her waist, pressing with his fingertips, and said with a hint of jealousy, "But when I said you weren't in the room, the postman left sadly. Sister Xie, you won't blame me for saying this, right?"
Xie Tingyu turned his head and said sincerely, "I dare not blame you, I dare not blame you. How could I dare? Lianlian, you are right to do this."
He then asked, "When I saw you eating tonight, you didn't seem to be drinking much vinegar. How did you end up in the vinegar jar tonight?"
Ji Lian gently pressed his calf against her knee and asked, "Compared to those boys, who is prettier, me or them?"
"Pity Wei Jie's beauty. Others are but fireflies, how dare they compete with the brightness of a pearl?"
Ji Lian asked faintly, "Then why don't you touch me?"
"For the past ten days or so, you've been lying next to me every night, and you really haven't touched me even a finger."
"That night by the lake, after you got me, you got tired of me, didn't you?"
Her voice gradually softened, a hint of sobbing coming through. Upon closer inspection, her eyes were already welling with tears, about to fall.
Xie Tingyu thought: This pretty boy is really made of water, he really cries when he says he will cry, right?
"Why are you, Xie Tingyu, acting like a lady at this time? Is this your identity? How could I not know what a lecher you are!"
"Seeing that I can no longer return to my former status as an imperial minister, you've abandoned me! Now I'm helpless and can only let you control me. You can abandon me if you want... Wuwuwu..."
Xie Tingyu fumbled for a handkerchief from the pillow and wiped Ji Lian's tears. "It's not that I don't want to touch you, I'm just afraid you might be pregnant."
Ji Lian looked at him with tearful eyes.
"Yuan Lang once said that if you were infected with a Gu insect, pregnancy would be detrimental to your health. I couldn't bear to see you use the contraceptive medicine, as it's always toxic. I've never let you drink it since that night. I don't want you to use anything that could harm you physically or mentally."
"I was thinking that when we return to Jiankang, I'll ask if there's any contraceptive method that won't harm your body."
Ji Lian snorted softly.
Xie Tingyu half-rose to his feet, his face tinged with sarcasm: "It's my fault."
"From that night on, I should have made it impossible for you to get off the bed and drained you dry until there was not a drop left."
Ji Lian's eyes flickered, her face flushed, "What kind of lewd words are you saying here?"
Just as Xie Tingyu was about to lie down, Ji Lian leaned over again, breathing softly, "Xie Tingyu, it's probably not that easy to get pregnant after just a few times. Tonight, I want a hug."
This hug is not that hug.
Behind the curtains, the bed rocked gently.
At first, only a faint gasp could be heard, followed by intermittent sighs of satisfaction, and finally turning into an indistinguishable sob for mercy, interspersed with hoarse "Xie Tingyu".
"Lianlian, why do you always call my name when doing this?"
The sound of raindrops outside the window echoed with the lingering sounds inside the room.
That place is warm, wet, tight, and suffocating, with an uncontrollable entanglement.
There was a very soft sigh: "...wife master."
After a long time, the bed stopped shaking and the noise in the room gradually died down.
Under the quilt, both of them were naked, their legs tightly intertwined, and they fell asleep in each other's arms.
