The next day, just as dawn was breaking, Wang Wan was awakened by the man on top of her.
She groggily opened her eyes, saw his features clearly, and couldn't help but let out a muffled groan, reaching out to grab his shoulder.
"You—why are you awake so early?"
Through the bed curtains, one could faintly see the light streaming in from the window outside, a warm and inviting glow.
Seeing that she was awake, Xie Xuan disregarded everything else, scooped her up, pinched and kneaded her waist, and greedily sucked on her lips.
Last night I was too considerate of her to enjoy myself fully. Now that I'm leaving, I don't know how long I'll be gone, so I'll seize every opportunity to pester her and keep her entertained.
"We're leaving soon, let's do it again."
Wang Wan listened to him and instinctively hugged his back, passionately responding to his kiss.
He was being so rough that she couldn't help but bite his shoulder, tears welling up in her eyes.
After the initial pain subsided, a series of tingling sensations shot from her spine to her scalp. Her two slender, fair legs appeared extremely pale in the dim tent, and her body felt so weak that she could only lean on him.
Two tender white lotus roots hung on his shoulders, allowing him to fully experience the sensations of every sense in his body.
"Did you remember what I said last night?"
Wang Wan's eyes welled up with tears, her face flushed, and her suppressed voice broke out, "I...I...remember..."
Xie Xuan felt an overwhelming tenderness for her obedient and gentle appearance, wishing he could devour her whole. His warm lips landed on her face, nose, forehead, and mouth, kissing her with the utmost lingering affection.
"Then you should come back as soon as possible."
"She hasn't even left yet, and she's already pestering me to come back soon. Ah Wan really loves me so much."
Hearing his shameless words, Wang Wan's face flushed even redder, and she grumbled and ignored him.
Later, finding him annoying and hearing a signal from his people outside, she pushed him.
"It's already dawn, you'd better hurry up and leave, or you'll be discovered soon."
Xie Xuan pressed her down, his voice hoarse, and said, "After I leave, who knows when the next time will be."
Upon hearing his words, Wang Wan remembered her illness. She hesitated for a moment, but before she could say anything, he showered her with kisses and began to torment her wildly.
She nestled in his arms, clinging tightly to him and kissing him.
Magpies chirped outside the window, and bright sunlight slanted through the willow branches onto the stone bridge, illuminating the still water as clear and bright as a mirror.
Several maids carrying trays crossed the stone bridge in unison, walked straight through the covered walkway, and headed towards the winding stream garden.
Once inside the garden, I greeted the guards who were changing shifts outside, then went up the stone steps and gently knocked on the door.
"Young lady, are you up?"
The sudden noise startled Wang Wan, instantly snapping her out of her daze. She turned to look at the shadowy figures outside, and pushed him through her teeth, "Quick, let's go! Someone's coming!"
Xie Xuan glanced at the sky outside through the gauze curtain, and couldn't help but tighten his arms around her, kissing and licking her body, kneading and pinching her as if he wanted to squeeze water out of her.
Wang Wan couldn't take it anymore, so she kicked her legs and pushed him with all her might.
But he wouldn't let go, holding her waist tightly and taking her soft, white earlobe into his mouth. "Tell them to go out first."
"---"
"girl?"
She quickly composed herself and replied, her voice trembling slightly, "You—you all go out first, I'll get up in a bit."
The maids guarding the door were slightly surprised when they heard the voice. They exchanged glances, but did not dare to listen carefully, and silently walked out.
Seeing the figure leave, Wang Wan was about to scold him when he fiercely silenced her with a kiss, pulling her close and pressing her firmly onto the couch.
She was so overwhelmed by his kisses that she was drenched in sweat, and unconsciously swayed her hips and moaned softly.
The dimly lit tent was instantly filled with a surge of spring tide, the air thick with an ambiguous and lingering atmosphere.
Xie Xuan couldn't resist her charming appearance, his blood boiling with lust, and he lost control, kissing and entwining her body.
Later, at some point, he realized he couldn't delay any longer, so he gave her everything, dressed, and went to bed.
Outside the ebony window, all was quiet, save for the occasional chirping of birds carried on the wind.
Wang Wan lay on the couch with a blush on her face. She gently lifted the blue lotus gauze curtain and looked at his tall and straight back. She propped up her aching body and gently poked his back.
Xie Xuan straightened his clothes, turned around, brushed the heavy gauze curtains aside, hooked them with the Bluebird Hook, and leaned down to place a kiss on her forehead.
"wait for me."
Wang Wan was a little reluctant to part, so she stretched out her long, slender arms and gently wrapped them around his waist, burying her face in his chest without saying a word.
Seeing this, he lifted her up and held her in his arms, resting his chin on the top of her head, embracing her tightly as if he wanted to embed her into his bones.
"I've heard that the Yanshan Mountains in the north are covered in snow all year round, and it's hard to see any prosperity. There are horse races and wolves on the Hui grasslands. You promised to take me to see them. Come back soon and take me there."
"Um."
"There's a Dada Palace built on a cliff in the high mountains of northern Mobei. I've heard that it houses giant beasts. I haven't been there yet. You have to take me to see it."
"Um."
She nodded and continued, "Also, you promised to take me to the Hundred Thousand Mountains in southern Xinjiang to see the flowers blooming everywhere, you can't go back on your word."
"good."
Seeing that she was pouting and about to continue talking, Xie Xuan chuckled and gently rubbed her cheek, teasingly saying, "If you keep talking, it'll get dark soon."
Wang Wan nestled in his arms, turned her face to look at the sky outside the window, and slowly let go of him.
"Then you should leave quickly."
He lowered his head and kissed her lips deeply, promising, "We'll get married when we come back this time. After we're married, I'll take you to the northern plateau, to the south of the Yangtze River, wherever you want to go, we'll go."
Wang Wan's cheeks flushed crimson, like a lake of water disturbed in spring. She hugged him and softly hummed in agreement.
Xie Xuan couldn't help but squeeze her body a few times and kiss her tenderly as she looked into her dark, moist eyes.
The maids waiting outside looked at the rising sun, exchanged glances, each lost in their own thoughts.
Sunlight streamed in through the slightly ajar window, bathing the entire room in a warm, golden glow.
Wang Wan sat on the couch, her eyes wet as she watched the disappearing figure outside the ebony window. For a moment, she felt dazed, and her heart felt empty.
"Young lady, are you still not up?"
Suddenly, the maid's voice came from outside. She was startled and came back to her senses. Her delicate, moist face suddenly showed a hint of panic. She looked down at the dense marks on her body and quickly got off the bed.
The moment my feet touched the ground, my legs went weak. I don't know where the problem was, but I almost collapsed from the pain.
She quickly grabbed the stool, picked up the clothes from the rack and put them on, then walked to the window, opened the other half of the window, and let the ambiguous atmosphere in the room dissipate.
The sunlight streaming through the windowpane made her momentarily dazed. She clutched her chest, furrowing her brow to suppress the pain in her heart.
"Miss---may I go in now?"
She let out a soft breath, suppressing the pain, glanced back at the messy bed, walked over and picked up the white handkerchief from under the mattress, and said, "Come in."
