Chapter 151 Extra: No More Rapid Heartbeats! (1...)
Song Qiling has a secret.
At times, she could hear her junior brother's inner thoughts.
Those intense, sweaty moments, those moments when you're out of breath and can't calm down.
For example, at this very moment, as Gu Lianzhou was carrying boxes of medicinal herbs for Xingchuan Caotang, sweat streamed down his forehead, soaking his clothes, and his heart pounded wildly.
Holding the dark medicine bowl, Song Qiling listened to her junior brother's quiet thoughts and couldn't help but raise the bowl to cover her upturned lips.
Although Brother Liu is stingy, he takes good care of his senior brother and is a good person. He should share the trivial matters of the medical clinic with him.
Song Qiling put down the medicine bowl and turned her head to look at Liu Dai next to the medicine cabinet, seemingly unintentionally.
Seeing him flipping through the account books without looking up, she picked up the medicine bowl again and brought it close to her lips to try it.
If the temperature is suitable, you can take it.
[It's a bit too stingy of him not even to hire a porter. Should we lend him some money?]
[Enough, Brother Liu might think I'm humiliating him.]
Seeing that the newly arrived medicinal herbs had been almost all moved, Gu Lianzhou patted the crumbs off his palms and looked straight over.
Last night she mentioned that illusion to me. Was she reminiscing about Gu, the young man she grew up with?
[Isn't she tired of always calling me "Senior Brother"? Should I start calling her Lingling instead?]
Song Qiling silently drank the medicine, her face contorted with bitterness, and she grimaced.
Why is this medicine still so bitter? Didn't you add more licorice today?
Amidst her rambling thoughts, the man had already reached her, took out sugar granules wrapped in oil paper from the brocade pouch at her waist, and brought them to her lips.
Song Qiling opened her mouth as usual and put the amber-colored sugar granule into her mouth.
In a short while, the sweetness overwhelmed the bitterness, and the refreshing sweetness covered every corner of the mouth.
It looks delicious.
"Hmm?" Song Qiling looked up and met a pair of clear, black and white eyes.
She stared at her junior brother for a moment, then her gaze shifted downwards to his waist. "If you want to eat one, just have one too. Why are you staring at me like that?"
It's as if the one in my mouth is different from the one in your pocket.
Gu Lianzhou chuckled and said, "I don't like sweets."
Well, that's true.
Song Qiling frowned.
Her junior brother used to dote on her and would accept and eat any sweets she offered him, but he didn't have a sweet tooth like her, or even like sweets.
He then said something like "It looks delicious," which led her to misunderstand.
"Then you..." Unwilling to reveal that she could hear his thoughts, Song Qiling hesitated for a moment before changing the subject, "You're all sweaty and must feel uncomfortable. Let's go back early so you can wash up."
Gu Lianzhou nodded slightly upon hearing this: "Okay."
As he stopped to rest, his rapid heartbeat gradually subsided, until the sound of his heartbeat became increasingly faint.
Last night's journey didn't go smoothly; perhaps it's because my senior brother is too shy. Let's try again tonight...
Song Qiling: "?!"
What is he thinking?
She held her breath and listened again, but she couldn't hear a single word from him.
The man's heartbeat had returned to normal, and his expression was as usual. At first glance, he looked like a gentleman.
Little did anyone know what kind of heart lay hidden beneath that exterior, that someone would think about such things in broad daylight...
Song Qiling lowered her eyes, avoiding the burning gaze from the other side, and stood up, supporting herself on her knees. She gently pressed the inside of her arms against the soft flesh in front of her body, feeling a swelling in her chest.
Suddenly remembering the scene from last night, a wave of heat surged up, almost making her lose her balance.
Perhaps it's a side effect of that half of the Tai Sui's heart residing in the human body, but this body is now unusually sensitive to external touch.
Not to mention the man before her, who became unrestrained at night, and his repeated probing.
Although she had tasted a fraction of the pleasure in the illusion, it was ultimately a false dream, and the pain was less than a tenth of what she experienced in reality.
No matter how much Gu Lianzhou coaxed and comforted her, she could never get over that hurdle.
If we delve deeper into the reasons behind this, it's not because of fear of pain, but rather...
At that time, her junior brother's words were so explicit that they made her feel ashamed.
-
The sound of water dripping was heard, and the rising heat waves rolled up the roof beams, condensing into glistening dewdrops that seemed about to fall.
After washing up and wiping himself thoroughly, Gu Lianzhou put on a large nightgown, walked around the screen, and went to the bedside.
The house was warmed by an underfloor heating system, making it feel like springtime even in the bitter winter.
Song Qiling, holding a book, sat properly on the edge of the bed. Hearing the noise, she gripped the corner of the book and moved closer to the bed. "You must be tired today, go to bed early..."
Before she could finish speaking, the spine of the book was snatched away, and the sweet scent of soap wafted over her. A large palm gently pressed against her shoulder, pushing her down into the soft bedding.
"The light is dim at night, which is bad for your eyes. Senior brother, you must change this bad habit and take care of your health."
While speaking with such righteous indignation, his fingers plunged deep beneath the thin garment, pushing aside the silk undergarment.
He's clearly talking nonsense.
Having gained half of the Tai Sui's heart, her eyesight was already different from before. Even if... even if all the candles were extinguished... she could still see clearly.
Well……
Today's sensations are genuine; my chest feels as if it's filled with water, and with each movement, it swells in waves.
The fabric rustled softly, a sound that stood out clearly in the pitch-black night.
Song Qiling was forced to tilt her head back, enduring the soft heat on his lips, and raised her hand to gently touch his shoulder, trying to break free from his encirclement.
Last night's events are still vivid in my mind.
The thought that the same thing would happen tonight filled her with inexplicable panic.
"I'll be gentler, trust me, senior brother."
Even so, two soft vines, not belonging to human limbs, quietly sprouted, hooking onto the tie of the garment and gently pulling it apart.
