Chapter 63 Did she hit that wild man? How does she want me to die...?
Under Li Chengyi's gaze, Lin Yanshu slowly spoke: "I... I just don't want to stay in the capital anymore."
Lying... Li Chengyi slapped her waist, his eyes dark and deep. He was very dissatisfied with the lie Lin Yanshu had given him.
She clearly doesn't like him and wants to abandon him.
"Little liar. I don't like you lying to me. Yan Shu left because of Father Emperor's words, didn't she?"
As they spoke, Li Chengyi's hand had already moved to Lin Yanshu's neck. Lin Yanshu's neck was fair and soft, and Li Chengyi could easily pinch it and leave a red mark.
Looking at Li Chengyi's questioning gaze, Lin Yanshu felt wronged. She frowned and looked at him, tears welling up in her eyes.
She didn't know why she cried so easily when facing Li Chengyi.
Li Chengyi looked down at the expression on Lin Yanshu's face. He frowned in confusion. He didn't understand why Lin Yanshu was crying when she had abandoned him.
Feeling wronged? Feeling like you were too harsh? But he clearly didn't do anything.
Li Chengyi sighed softly. He bent his knuckles and wiped away the tears from Lin Yanshu's eyes, asking, "Why are you crying? Does crying give you the right to cry?"
Lin Yanshu turned her head away, avoiding Li Chengyi's hand that was wiping away her tears, and Li Chengyi's hand missed its mark.
“I listened to His Majesty’s words, but he’s not wrong. I’m not good enough for you… so it’s better to leave like this.”
Not good enough for him? Those were all just excuses Lin Yanshu used to avoid him. He even gave her a sweet treat out of fear of his wrath, yet she's still avoiding him now.
Li Chengyi's chest heaved violently with anger. He gritted his teeth and questioned Lin Yanshu word by word: "Oh? In order to leave, you even kissed and hugged me, and even... did that kind of thing. Lin Yanshu, you really went all out."
Lin Yanshu listened to Li Chengyi's accusations and tried to pull herself away, but Li Chengyi held on tightly. She struggled for a while, but to no avail. She could only punch Li Chengyi's arm, begging him to let go of her.
"Ah Zhao, let me go!"
"If I let you go, you'll run away again? I still haven't asked who helped you escape and erased all traces."
He searched everywhere but found that Lin Yanshu was right under his nose. Li Chengyi didn't believe that no one was helping her.
Lin Yanshu looked at Li Chengyi with trembling eyelashes. She didn't expect Li Chengyi to have guessed this. She couldn't implicate Xie Ciyan, so she lied and said, "No... no one helped me. It was all on my own."
Li Chengyi narrowed his eyes dangerously, his voice piercing as he questioned, "A man?"
No, that's not it!
Lin Yanshu's answer was so decisive and quick that Li Chengyi couldn't believe it. He even confirmed the answer from this hurried reply: it was a man that Lin Yanshu had to hide.
The thought that Lin Yanshu had been with a man he didn't know for the past few months made Li Chengyi's heart ache. Why?
He was going crazy with jealousy. Why should he abandon her and wander outside with another man? Was he any better than him? Could he give Lin Yanshu more than he could?
Li Chengyi was furious. He wished he could find that arrogant man right now who dared to seduce and deceive Lin Yanshu.
He deserves to die!
"You lied to me for him, Yanshu, how did you become so bad?"
The more Li Chengyi spoke, the closer he got, his warm breath brushing against Lin Yanshu's neck, becoming increasingly sticky. Before Lin Yanshu could answer, Li Chengyi kissed her.
However, it was more like a lick or a gentle bite than a kiss.
Lin Yanshu winced in pain, pressing her fist against Li Chengyi's chest, trying to push him away: "Ouch, it hurts... Ah Zhao, what are you... doing?"
Li Chengyi's narrow, almond-shaped eyes glanced at Lin Yanshu. He wanted to leave his mark on her, to let those other men know that Lin Yanshu was his, his. He belonged to Lin Yanshu.
Lin Yanshu sensed Li Chengyi's rising body temperature, and he became unrestrained, kissing his way up from Li's neck to Lin Yanshu's cheek.
No… No! Lin Yanshu pushed Li Chengyi away abruptly, looking at him in shock: “We can’t do this.”
Li Chengyi's eyes reddened with anger, staring intently at Lin Yanshu. "No? Why not? It was okay before, why not now?"
Because of that other man? Is she keeping herself chaste for him? Afraid he'll find out?
"Why can't we do it? We could do it before, why can't we now? Is it because of that person?"
Lin Yanshu looked at Li Chengyi tremblingly. She wanted to explain, but Li Chengyi didn't wait for her explanation.
Li Chengyi was anxious. He moved forward step by step, taking up space from Lin Yanshu and forcing her to retreat. Lin Yanshu had nowhere to retreat, so she retreated all the way to the table. She reached out and braced herself against the corner of the table behind her, leaning back slightly, trying to increase the distance between herself and Li Chengyi.
This distance is negligible.
Li Chengyi's palm gently caressed Lin Yanshu's body, and with a light touch of his fingertips, Lin Yanshu's clothes were torn open.
"Ah Zhao... I didn't, what... are you trying to do!"
Li Chengyi narrowed his eyes. He didn't speak, but continued what he was doing.
Lin Yanshu was forced to tilt her head back, her body trembling slightly. To be fair, Li Chengyi's touch was not unfamiliar. She was lifted up by Li Chengyi.
Lin Yanshu didn't want to be consumed by this; she wanted to break free and struggled...
Li Chengyi gave her no chance whatsoever, pressing down on Lin Yanshu. Lin Yanshu frantically searched for a new foothold, and she was pinned down on the bronze mirror.
Before him was Li Chengyi's burning body, his random touches, and behind him was the cold bronze mirror. A sensation of extreme contrast, like fire and ice, shot straight to Lin Yanshu's head.
Her face flushed as she looked at the roof beams, calling Li Chengyi's name urgently. Li Chengyi buried his head in front of her, brazenly saying, "Ah Zhao, Ah Zhao, we can't do this."
Lin Yanshu burst into tears, the tears flowing uncontrollably like a river bursting its banks.
Li Chengyi tilted his head back, licked the drool that had spilled from the corner of his mouth, and frowned slightly. Li Chengyi was puzzled. Why, why was he crying? Was it because of his touch?
He stood up, pulled Lin Yanshu's collar tighter, and asked, "You don't want me to touch you? Not even a little touch?"
As he spoke, his tone shifted from anger to sorrow, tinged with despair. Staring at Lin Yanshu, he said, word by word, "Lin Yanshu, can't you have any pity for me?"
Lin Yanshu cried so hard she could barely breathe. She couldn't even muster a breath to answer Li Chengyi, and just kept crying. Hot tears fell, dripping onto Lin Yanshu's open collar and splashing onto Li Chengyi's chin.
It wasn't hot; it felt cool to Li Chengyi.
The answer is no.
Li Chengyi leaned on the corner of the table, gave a sorrowful smile, his face a complex mix of emotions, as if he had given up his last shred of dignity. He stood up and said, "Fine, Yan Shu can think whatever he wants. I'll follow your lead, I won't care."
Then, in a fit of desperation, Li Chengyi pulled out a medicine bottle from his pocket, uncorked it, and swallowed all the pills inside.
Lin Yanshu then looked up at him and asked, sobbing, "What are you eating?"
Li Chengyi showed the medicine bottle to Lin Yanshu, and said resentfully and unabashedly, "What? Can't you recognize something you made yourself, Yanshu?"
Lin Yanshu looked down. This wasn't the medicine she had prepared that night. Why did he take it, and so much at once?
She quickly reached out and stuck her fingers in Li Chengyi's mouth, urging anxiously, "Spit it out! This is poison, why are you eating this? And so much of it!"
Li Chengyi stared at Lin Yanshu, biting her finger and rubbing his teeth against her knuckles. Lin Yanshu's fingers were covered in Li Chengyi's warm saliva.
He swallowed all the medicine, opened his mouth, and looked at Lin Yanshu with a smile: "I know you don't want to poison me to death anyway."
Lin Yanshu really didn't know what Li Chengyi was thinking. He was taking so many medicines; he probably wanted to die suddenly.
"Go and get someone to fetch the antidote, and you take it."
“I won’t eat it, or I’ll be poisoned.”
Li Chengyi gave Lin Yanshu two choices: watch him die suddenly from the effects of the drug, or give him the antidote.
Lin Yanshu was furious at Li Chengyi's crazy behavior. She had felt guilty towards him, which was why she hadn't indulged him from the beginning, but that didn't mean she didn't have a temper.
Lin Yanshu had long been spoiled by Li Chengyi, and she was especially willful and reckless when facing Li Chengyi.
Lin Yanshu was so angry that she raised her hand and slapped Li Chengyi hard. Li Chengyi's already sickly pale cheek turned red on one side, which was particularly noticeable.
Li Chengyi's eyes lit up, and he touched his cheek, which had just been slapped by Lin Yanshu. It was still hot and carried her warmth.
She just hit herself, or only herself, right? Has that other man ever been hit by her? Has he ever been hit by her so angrily?
This is his exclusive treatment.
Lin Yan was unaware of Li Chengyi's thoughts. She was so angry that her chest heaved violently. She glared at Li Chengyi and yelled, "Are you out of your mind?! How can you be so suicidal?!"
Lin Yanshu wanted to slap Li Chengyi again, but she stopped when she met Li Chengyi's fervent gaze.
All that could be heard was Li Chengyi asking in a low voice, "Then Yan Shu, how do you want me to die? Choose one."
Li Chengyi is pressuring her.
The two were very close, and a tender atmosphere flowed between them. Lin Yanshu quietly watched Li Chengyi, watching the effects of the medicine take hold, his body getting hotter and hotter, and even his movements becoming clingy.
Li Chengyi lowered his head, his burning cheeks brushing against Lin Yanshu's shoulder, calling her name passionately: "Yanshu, Yanshu, Yanshu..."
His eyes were misty with tears, making him look pitiful and pleading silently.
Lin Yanshu avoided Li Chengyi's gaze; she shouldn't have acted this way...
Lin Yanshu cupped Li Chengyi's cheeks and lowered her head. Due to the effects of the medicine, Lin Yanshu was now looking down at him. Li Chengyi looked up at her, anticipating her next move.
Lin Yanshu didn't want to see Li Chengyi's eyes, so she kissed his eyelids. Li Chengyi closed his eyes. He tightened his arms, pressing Lin Yanshu firmly against the bronze mirror, and began to search.
Lin Yanshu's clothes loosened, and he removed them one by one...
