Chapter 104 if Parallel World Sympathy (5): Chu Rong
Yu Wanyin had no idea what Chu Yu was thinking, and she gently tugged at her handkerchief.
After this agonizing silence, I couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Are you all... alright today?"
Chu Yu raised an eyebrow.
He could tell that Yu Wanyin wanted to ask Rong Si.
After all, she was standing right in front of her, perfectly fine, so she would naturally be more concerned about the safety of the other person.
Do you want him to be well, or not?
Yu Wanyin frowned and remained silent for a moment.
But Chu Yu followed her cheek and temples, and then gently lifted her chin.
Yu Wanyin was pulled forward by the force of his fingers, and she lost her balance and fell on him.
Chu Yu's fingers weren't heavy, but they were firm. With just his fingers, it felt like he had imprisoned her entire body in his palm, forcing her to look up at him.
Chu Yu slowly rubbed the smooth, soft lines of her jaw with his fingertips.
It's like experiencing something, but also like another form of taking.
Yu Wanyin's jaw tingled from his rubbing fingers, the itch reaching deep into her heart. She tried to turn her head away but was completely held in his grasp.
After struggling for a while, she still rationally explained to him, "I think that now that the war has just ended, the most urgent task is to quell the chaos. We should put our personal matters aside for now."
Yu Wanyin could feel Chu Yu's gaze on her, as he skillfully caressed her cheek.
Her lips trembled slightly. "If any of you causes trouble at this time, it will be bad for our current situation."
The temperature of his hands was from the cool air that had just come in from outside.
A chill ran through her skin, spreading throughout her body and making one feel uneasy.
Yu Wanyin secretly glanced at him, "Is it okay?"
Chu Yu took a deep breath and leaned slightly closer.
After a long silence, he gently smiled and said, "Okay."
His gaze swept across her cheek. "If Yao Yao says it's good, then it's good."
Chu Yu gently pulled her forward and kissed the corner of her lips.
His kisses were delicate and gentle, conveying an extreme sense of care and affection.
As if afraid of hurting someone, or as if afraid that someone wouldn't feel him, he clung to her, filling every inch of her with his breath and his warmth, so forceful that it made her heart tremble.
Yu Wanyin never refuses him, not at any time.
She was still somewhat afraid of him.
Chu Yu never outwardly showed any ill will towards her, but no one knew the sinister intentions hidden beneath his smiling face.
He naturally pulled her closer, kissing her and holding her in his arms.
But it was precisely at this seemingly tender moment that Yu Wanyin heard him ask, "Does he take care of you like this too?"
Yu Wanyin froze for a moment, but then felt him slowly applying more force to her body.
She was more passive as he held her chin and yielded to him.
As the exercise progressed from shallow to deep, Yu Wanyin lost her balance and leaned against the table behind her.
The man's body pressed down on them.
Chu Yu's fingers slid down her cheek and jawline, then slipped inside her clothes.
The cool touch made Yu Wanyin slightly shrink her shoulders, but he then opened them again.
Chu Yu peeled off her clothes, and traces of last night still remained on her body.
This made Chu Yu feel very pleased.
I wanted to leave more marks on her.
He covered this clean body with his own mark.
The man's delicate kisses moved down her cheek, and Yu Wanyin tilted her head back slightly.
The cold, serpentine touch tightened around her, brushing lightly over her clothes before disappearing deep into her body.
Yu Wanyin was suffocated for a moment by the entanglement.
It felt like a dream I once had, now dragged into a deep abyss.
He would also ask, "Why aren't you saying anything? How is he taking care of you?"
Yu Wanyin's eyelashes trembled incessantly.
She didn't know why he, like Rong Si, liked to ask such questions at times like these.
But she sensed the same danger.
It was as if a snake's tail had burrowed into a hidden lair, slowly adapted, and then began to wreak havoc on everything within the lair.
Then he dragged her in, subjecting her to a deeper and more unfathomable punishment.
Yu Wanyin didn't know what to say, her whole body feeling soothed by the cold and the heat.
Chu Yu tightened his grip on her as well, feeling every inch of her body with his own limbs.
This was an extremely intimate and seamless gesture.
This left Yu Wanyin feeling somewhat embarrassed.
Chu Yu did it on purpose; he knew Rong Si could sense it.
You can feel the soft, delicate skin and jade-like bones being touched by him.
It is a gentle haven that drowns you.
Rong Si must know that he wants her.
Chu Yu exerted even more force, filled with both jealousy and resentment, "Aren't you going to talk?"
He buried his face in the crook of her neck, took a deep breath, and slowly nibbled at her delicate skin.
She seemed nervous because of his actions.
After Chu Yu had calmed the person down, he suddenly bit down hard without warning!
He then heard a very faint sob.
Her body tensed up instinctively.
Chu Yu's eyes gleamed with triumphant malice before he forcefully crushed her tension and defensiveness!
Another small sob escaped.
“Yaoyao is so protective of him,” Chu Yu said, not knowing how many times he had asked her who had been with her before. She had never told him. Chu Yu smiled and asked an even more dangerous question, “Is it because you liked him when he came to you?”
Yu Wanyin's neck snapped back, her sobs turning into cries, "No, no, gently..."
"No?" Chu Yu's tone was very melodious as he pressed her against the bronze mirror that was the same height as him in the room. "Think about it carefully, think about it again."
"Do you really like it when he touches you?"
Chu Yu's voice became dark and hoarse, sounding like a vengeful demon in the dim light.
Just hearing the voice gave Yu Wanyin goosebumps all over her body.
She shook her head helplessly, pressing her entire body against the mirror.
Chu Yu leaned close to her ear, ruffling her stray hairs. His tone was gentle, but his words were anything but calm: "Do you think of him at times like this?"
Do you ever think about how he touched you?
Yu Wanyin's legs went weak and she couldn't stand up.
But gradually she no longer needed to stand still; with her toes touching the ground, it was difficult to gain any leverage.
The cool mirror surface has been warmed up, like the temperature of another person.
Chu Yu grasped her chin and lifted it up.
Through her teary, blurry vision, Yu Wanyin saw a scene on the mirror that was too horrible to look at.
But she couldn't escape it.
Chu Yu wanted her to see it.
She was to be in her dark, unlit bedroom, looking at the blurry image reflected in the bronze mirror. "Yaoyao, look."
"Like him, knowing what I'm doing to you, but you can only watch."
"Will he feel how pitifully I've bullied you?" Chu Yu gently touched the wetness at the corner of her eye. "Will he feel like I'm punishing you?"
Chu Yu lowered his voice, asking in a ghostly whisper, "Do you want him to come and save you?"
Yu Wanyin could still tell whether Yu was angry or not.
She shook her head. "No."
Chu Yu chuckled softly, a sound that sent chills down one's spine in the pitch-black room.
She didn't know what his mood was at that moment.
They seemed to have been appeased, and their movements slowed down.
Just as Yu Wanyin caught her breath, he suddenly launched an attack, "Oh, so Yao Yao likes being bullied by me."
Yu Wanyin's heart leaped into her throat, and she even had difficulty breathing, as if she were drowning.
She had no idea that the storm would come so suddenly and so fiercely.
She instinctively struggled to leave.
At the height of the drumbeats, her mind went blank, but he still pressed down on her ear and said leisurely, "Look, he's here."
The surrounding sounds were too chaotic, with creaking and squeaking noises mixed together.
It's hard to tell whether the door is open or not.
Yu Wanyin trembled and subconsciously wanted to turn around, but Chu Yu turned her to look at the bronze mirror.
But under such light, the reflection in the bronze mirror was barely visible, weakly pleading, "Don't scare me."
Chu Yu looked at her near-extreme state, his brows and eyes darkening.
The bronze mirror reflected the light and shadow of the two of them; there was no third person in it.
But he said, "I'm not outside the door, I'm just looking in the mirror."
"It's like someone is watching us in a mirror."
Yu Wanyin's hair stood on end, and she dared not think further.
Actually, she and Rong Si were also in front of the mirror...
The candles inside the room went out, and Chu Yu looked at his reflection in the bronze mirror.
I squinted, as if I saw a third person.
Right in front of him, right in front of him.
Chu Yu's eyes and brows were incredibly dark, as were his actions.
It was as if he was asserting his dominance over the light and shadow on the other side of the mirror, letting "him" watch and feel it.
Whose wife is she, really?
Who could possibly do evil to her?
Chu Yu was deeply mired in contradictory and morbidly insane lust.
We should drag her down with us.
Yu Wanyin's body, mind, and soul were completely tormented, and he always scared her, forcing her to become closer to him in a passive struggle.
But how could one be safe in the mire of ferocious beasts?
It was not safe at all; she fainted at dawn.
Chu Yu woke her up again.
While praising her pity, he gently made her cry even more miserably.
Chu Yu is truly a terrifying person.
Yu Wanyin dared not mention anything related to Rong Si for the time being.
She woke up after noon. Outside, birds were chirping, and sunlight streamed through the window, making the weather look lovely.
After having lunch, Yu Wanyin sat at the window table, basking in the sun and lost in thought.
I wonder how those two people outside are doing.
Yu Wanyin bit her lip, and as she was thinking, she saw people moving things in the courtyard from afar.
Attendants came and went, busy with their own tasks.
It caused quite a commotion.
Yu Wanyin subconsciously took a closer look and saw Su Fang carrying a box over.
Then he came into Rong Si's view.
Yu Wanyin suddenly held her breath and closed the window.
The sound was loud enough for people inside and outside the courtyard to hear.
Rong Si took a deep breath. He hadn't originally planned to go inside, but seeing her actions, he turned and went straight into the courtyard.
The guards inside the courtyard hurriedly tried to stop them, saying, "Without the permission of the Marquis and his wife, you are not allowed to enter the lady's courtyard."
Yu Wanyin tensed up upon hearing the commotion outside.
She got up from the window, hesitating whether to go out, when Rong Si came in.
Clearly, the guards outside couldn't stop him.
Rong Si entered and slowly sized her up, his eyes bloodshot. "Why are you up so early, Madam?"
Yu Wanyin didn't know how to answer that question, and she didn't want people to know that she had just gotten up. "I got up early, but I just haven't gone out yet."
Rong Si laughed when he heard her lie. "Can you even get up early? You just let him act like that?"
Where did that temper of yours when you yelled at me go?
Yu Wanyin felt uneasy. Listening to Rong Si's tone, it was as if he knew exactly what had happened to her last night. "What do you mean?"
Rong Si took a step closer to her, his slightly heavy footsteps echoing in the room, making people's hearts tremble. "It doesn't mean anything."
He put down a porcelain bottle. "Madam hasn't slept all night; she should get some rest."
After Rong Si finished speaking, he left the house directly.
He was clearly angry; he had been very demanding before, and she had always bitten, kicked, and hit him.
She's not very strong, and although she's not very useful, she can get angry.
The next day, I could ignore him completely.
Now look what's happened.
After being treated like that, she looked like a little lamb this morning.
She loved Chu Yu so much that he treated her that way.
Rong Si went out and went straight to Chu Yu's study.
Yu Wanyin watched Rong Si's retreating figure, hesitant to speak, but not daring to ask any further questions.
She walked forward suspiciously and picked up the porcelain bottle on the table.
But she discovered that the contents of this porcelain bottle were something she and Rong Si had also used.
It was the medicine he would apply to her the next day after working through the night!
This medicine overlaps with what he just said.
Yu Wanyin felt a chill run down her spine. She hurriedly looked around and for a moment began to wonder if there was somewhere in the house where he could see what was happening in the bedroom.
Yu Wanyin took a few steps back and saw the mirror next to her.
She strangely recalled what Chu Yu had said to her last night when he pinned her against the bronze mirror.
It's as if there really is another person on the other side of the mirror...
In the study, Chu Yu returned from his errands outside, and when he stepped into the house refreshed, Rong Si was already sitting there waiting for him.
Rong Si leaned back in his seat, silently watching Chu Yu enter.
Chu Yu asked casually, "Lord Rong, so early?"
"It's getting late," Rong Si said sarcastically. "Lord Chu should take care of his health."
"You don't need to worry about my health."
“It’s not your body that’s at stake,” Rong Si said, looking at him. “It’s Yao Yao’s body that needs attention.”
“I have to be very careful with her on a daily basis, otherwise she will easily get sick.”
"Since you're so bad at taking care of people, Yao Yao probably wants to find someone who can take care of her."
Chu Yu chuckled silently, "You know how to exercise restraint?"
Chu Yu knew what Yu Wanyin's body was like before and what it is like now.
The way she reacted so readily was unlike her previous restraint. "Yesterday I asked her carefully how you took care of her."
Although Chu Yu didn't get any information out of him, he remained calm and composed, saying, "It's nothing special, Yao Yao doesn't take it to heart."
"It is still more harmonious with me."
Rong Si bluntly exposed him, "But I feel that Yao Yao was more afraid last night."
"She is different when she is afraid and when she is relaxed."
Chu Yu's smile turned cold as he slowly said, "So you were afraid of her too."
"Then you weren't entirely considerate of her either."
Rong Si chimed in, "A momentary lapse in attention doesn't mean it will always be a lapse in attention."
"Me too, after all, I need to see how others have turned Yaoyao into what she is."
"I need to bring her back to me so she can get used to me."
The two went back and forth, neither sparing the other in their words.
The air grew thicker with the smell of gunpowder, and a murderous intent stirred within them.
Rong Si gritted his teeth, but ultimately did not make a move.
After all, their fates are now intertwined; if one prospers, the other prospers; if one suffers, the other suffers.
Chu Yu spoke, "When are you leaving?"
"The war has just ended, how can you leave?" Rong Si looked at him. "Unless you and I fight, and a winner is determined, then the matter will be settled."
Chu Yu said in a deep voice, "You know perfectly well that we can't fight now."
“Since you know this,” Rong Si said casually, “then I can only trouble you, Marquis, to let me stay here with you.”
"How about we go together?"
"Let's quell the rebellion together."
