After dusk, the world was pitch black and quiet, and the bright light in the room cast a warm yellow glow on the window.
The scene inside the room was stretched out by the light and projected onto the window. The treetops under the moonlight swayed slightly in the wind, blurring the overlapping shadows of people.
Xu Shiyue's voice came from behind Lu Shizhen. Her gentle breath easily passed through the hair that brushed against her neck, along with a few light kisses.
Moist lips gently caressed the warm skin, the rhythmic pauses like writing a poem on it.
Lu Shizhen took a few long breaths, then turned her head away when Xu Shiyue stopped leaning on her shoulder.
Xu Shiyue's words were a response to her subtle yet audacious flirting with her in the car earlier, which Lu Shizhen naturally understood.
The kiss in the hospital just now was clearly not enough to make up for everything they had experienced these past few days. Many thoughts had just been interrupted and suppressed, but without those external interferences, they could no longer be suppressed, nor did they need to be.
"Since Miss Xu is treating, of course we'll accept."
Lu Shizhen answered and then turned around completely.
With her eyelashes slightly lowered, she found Xu Shiyue's lips and kissed her.
The kiss was noticeably less intense than when they first reunited, but it was also much longer.
Lu Shizhen, with her teeth still intact, kissed Xu Shiyue's lips, as if savoring a fine afternoon cake, the melted cream spreading from the tip of her tongue to the back, subtly sending shivers down her spine.
While kissing, Lu Shizhen raised her hanging arm and found Xu Shiyue's hand along her wrist, clasping it together with hers.
However, the clasped hands were not still; the fingers pressed together were slightly curled, and the nails seemed to unintentionally scratch Xu Shiyue's palm and the leg pressed against the side.
The itching felt like an electric current, a gentle yet sudden sensation that shot upwards along Xu Shiyue's arm.
Their moist lips rubbed against each other, and Xu Shiyue, caught completely off guard, suddenly trembled. She was not prepared at all, and a few sobs escaped from her sealed lips.
She whimpered like a kitten.
Lu Shizhen suddenly felt as if her heart had been struck by the sound, and a lot of candy pieces fell out with a clatter.
She parted slightly from Xu Shiyue, then moved very close to her again, knowing full well what was going on, and deliberately asked, "What's wrong?"
The overhead light blinded Xu Shiyue as she squinted. She looked at the person in front of her who was pretending not to understand and suddenly felt completely controlled by Lu Shizhen. She couldn't feel a bit annoyed and just wanted Lu Shizhen to kiss her again.
Thinking this, Xu Shiyue raised her chin slightly at Lu Shizhen, her half-lowered eyes carrying a somewhat imposing force, and said, "Kiss me, and I'll tell you what happened."
When commands are shrouded in ambiguity, the oppressive power from above transforms into a temptation that makes one want to overpower and possess.
Lu Shizhen didn't keep Xu Shiyue waiting for long; as soon as she finished speaking, Xu Shiyue felt herself being lifted into the air.
The slightly raised gaze had become a true condescending one, and Lu Shizhen looked up at her, the light reflecting in her eyes, each one containing only herself.
Those pupils were so dark and so pure, like a dog that would always be loyal.
The night was quiet, and Xu Shiyue's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
She absolutely loved the way this person looked at her, so innocently and directly wanting to kiss her.
Lu Shizhen watched as Xu Shiyue lowered her head and approached her, her upturned lips landing a kiss on hers.
The delicate fragrance belonging to Xu Shiyue cascaded down from above, gentle and lingering, pressing all her weight onto a kiss.
Perhaps because she was too engrossed in the moment, the embrace became precarious, and Lu Shizhen, carrying Xu Shiyue, stumbled and fell onto the bed behind her.
The mattress had just been aired by Aunt Sun; it was fluffy and soft, and Lu Shizhen didn't fall and hurt herself.
On the contrary, when Xu Shiyue's leg got stuck around her waist, the unsupported part collided with the bone, causing her to frown involuntarily.
But it's not just about the pain.
Besides, it wasn't that painful.
Lu Shizhen ran her hand down Xu Shiyue's arm and said again, "Too thin."
"So don't leave for so long next time." Xu Shiyue cupped Lu Shizhen's face in her hands and gently stroked her earlobe with her fingers. "As long as you're here, I can eat more at every meal."
Lu Shizhen knew that Xu Shiyue was telling the truth; the "take good care of yourself after I leave" thing was just a joke.
If it were Xu Shiyue who had been away from her for these past few days, she probably would have lost just as much weight.
However, she was confident that she could fatten Xu Shiyue up a few more pounds.
After all, she has already returned and will not leave again. She will spend the rest of her days in this world with Xu Shiyue.
Thinking of this, Lu Shizhen's smile deepened.
She suddenly turned over, pressed Xu Shiyue's hand, which was near her ear, onto the bed, and said to her, "Then tell me, should I feed you first?"
Lu Shizhen's words sounded serious, but in reality, that wasn't the case at all.
A mischievous smile spread across her eyes, and without waiting for Xu Shiyue's reply, she lowered her head and kissed her again.
The shoes with a slight heel hung on their owner's feet and then fell to the floor with a "thud".
The crisp sound drowned out the faint sound of the zipper being pulled open, and the two shadows on the wall seemed to merge together, pressing against each other.
Just as Xu Shiyue had said in the past, Lu Shizhen was a smart student.
All dogs in the world possess an amazing skill—the ability to remember routes and key landmarks along the way.
Lu Shizhen gently kissed Xu Shiyue's nose and neck, slowly and carefully prying open her lips.
Xu Shiyue felt like a stranded fish, with surging waves crashing over her and dragging her into the sea in an instant.
Her slender neck stretched out like a swan, and her delicate skin was covered with a thin layer of sweat, like a veil woven from moonlight.
More and more mist filled Xu Shiyue's eyes, and the light above her eyes shone in her eyes, making Lu Shizhen's face, which had kissed her skin, appear and disappear in the light.
In a deep breath, Xu Shiyue suddenly remembered the last time she saw Lu Shizhen when they were children.
She gave her first kiss to the person she loved when she was a child, earlier than many others.
Xu Shiyue knew very early on that she was much more mature than her peers, and that's why she fell in love at a very young age.
It's not that she's like many children, saying she likes someone or something, but rather that through silent observation, she understood what true liking really means.
She had always felt that the feeling of liking someone was far from her reach, after all, it's quite difficult to meet someone you truly like in life.
But she never expected that this feeling would be hidden behind the doorway that suddenly appeared that day.
A red apple rolled down in front of her, and the little girl named Lu Shizhen became her friend.
She could talk to her about anything, but she also held back some things.
She never told Lu Shizhen that she would secretly look at Lu Shizhen's back while reading.
She never told her that she would prepare everything she liked before she arrived.
She's not incapable of carving little rabbits.
It's not that the recovery from the illness is very slow.
Her obedience was merely a disguise for her rebellious nature, which was about to burst through her skin.
Her darkening was indeed due to Lu Shizhen, but not as described in the book, since her moonlight was never truly pure white from the beginning.
Xu Shiyue thought that Lu Shizhen had said something wrong. She was indeed the dark moonlight, but she was not someone who would do anything without ever getting hurt herself.
If that person were Lu Shizhen, she would give up not only her body, but even her life.
When the previous Goddess confiscated everything and brought everything back to what she called the normal track, Xu Shiyue lost one of her abilities.
She remained more mature than her peers, and because of this, she could feel that something was missing. On the day she was discharged from the hospital, she looked at the swaying wisteria flowers for a long time, as if she was searching for the ability she had lost.
But she forgot all that, so where was she supposed to look for it?
Later, flames, carrying even greater changes, licked at Xu Shiyue's life, and this already vague confusion was buried under the ashes.
It wasn't until the day the main god finally retrieved this memory, which had been deliberately hidden by the previous main god, from among countless clues, that she realized the emotion she had lost was called "love."
And this emotion was awakened by the same person both times.
—Lu Shizhen.
The name Lu Shizhen had barely crossed Xu Shiyue's mind when the person's voice came from above her head: "Not concentrating."
There seemed to be some dissatisfaction, yet it also contained a doting affection that made it difficult to hold anyone accountable.
Lu Shizhen brushed Xu Shiyue's sweaty hair aside, her fingers fidgeting playfully in her hair: "What are you thinking about?"
Suddenly, Xu Shiyue's thin shoulders hunched over, and even the shimmering light in her eyes trembled.
She looked at the person above her with a hint of reproach in her eyes, but a gentle spring breeze lingered in her misty eyes, so she didn't look angry at all.
Letting out a long sigh, Xu Shiyue wrapped her arms around Lu Shizhen's neck and replied, "I missed you."
The cautious flutter of her childhood heart intertwined with the undisguised love she felt now. Xu Shiyue hooked her arms around Lu Shizhen's neck, then raised her head and kissed her passionately.
She finally met her adult self.
She finally got together with her adult self.
The next day, the weather was absolutely gorgeous.
The bright sun hung high in the sky, casting a scorching heat over the earth.
The heatwave had barely reached the bed on the second floor of the villa when it was immediately pushed back by the tightly drawn curtains.
The central air conditioning works quietly, maintaining the temperature of the entire room at the most suitable level for human rest.
Whether in this world or the past world, Lu Shizhen has no biological clock.
She woke up a little late last night, the sun was high in the sky, and she was still groggy.
The first thing she did upon waking was to reach out to the other side of the bed.
Slightly cool, smooth...
Lu Shizhen seemed to realize something and suddenly opened her eyes.
She couldn't see Xu Shiyue in her arms or on the other side of the bed. The half of the bed beside her was perfectly flat, as if Xu Shiyue had never been there.
She said she understood that there wouldn't be any more major storms in the future, but seeing this scene still made Lu Shizhen panic.
She was terrified that the previous deity might return to cause trouble again. She picked up her clothes from the ground, not even having time to button them up, and rushed out to find Xu Shiyue.
However, before she could open the door and rush out, she noticed a card hanging on the doorknob.
The card is new, as if it was just hung up. Two lines of text are neatly written in black on a white background:
Was Teacher Sixteen scared?
Remember to change your clothes before coming downstairs.
As if she had understood something, Lu Shizhen's tightly furrowed brows relaxed slightly.
Then I saw the signature of a simple rose drawn on the bottom right corner, which was covered by my finger.
—That was a drawing I taught Xu Shiyue when I was a child.
Seeing this, Lu Shizhen's heart, which had been beating erratically, finally calmed down completely.
Xu Shiyue wasn't lost; this was her way of getting back at herself, letting herself experience the feeling of her lover going missing.
Lu Shizhen stared at the rose, which was simply outlined by straight lines, her eyes curving slightly with a hint of annoyance.
She unbuttoned her clothes, which she had made a mess of, changed into the dress that Xu Shiyue had prepared for her in her dressing room, and went downstairs at a leisurely pace.
As the car drove up the villa gate, Xu Shiyue, dressed in a red dress, leaned against her Bugatti Veyron in the yard. It seemed somewhat out of character for her flamboyant style, yet her beauty was so captivating that one would willingly be consumed by her fiery passion.
Lu Shizhen was somewhat surprised, yet she couldn't take her eyes off Xu Shiyue: "What are you trying to do?"
Xu Shiyue tapped her fingertips lightly on the car hood and smiled at Lu Shizhen, saying, "Teacher Sixteen, would you like to go on a date with me?"
