Chapter 55: Vigorous Indulgence Yun Yang looked at the silhouette by the window and rubbed his...
Yun Yang looked at the silhouette by the window, rubbed his eyes, and pinched himself to make sure he was not dreaming.
"...Brother-in-law, you haven't slept yet." Yun Yang said.
Xue Yu didn't answer, but walked in on his own, sat beside her bed, and stared at her quietly. Not only did he lose his former sense of propriety, but he also made Yun Yang inexplicably feel guilty.
Xue Yu calmly took out a brocade box from somewhere and asked, "Are you hungry?"
Outside the mansion during the day, she said that eating vegetarian food was also good. Xue Yu almost laughed out loud. Wasn't she the one who met a rabbit in the dense forest and figured out how to catch it and what seasonings to add to make it delicious?
Yunyang opened the brocade box. One layer contained white porridge with vegetables, and the next layer contained sweet and sour spare ribs and crab stuffed with oranges.
The aroma is so fragrant that it makes you salivate just by smelling it!
The meal I had with Zhang Qian in the afternoon had long been digested, and now my stomach was rumbling.
She raised her face somewhat awkwardly, looked at him with clear eyes, and thanked him sincerely, "Thank you, brother-in-law. I'm so hungry I can't sleep!"
Xue Yu half-closed his eyes and said coldly: "From now on, if you want to eat a meal you don't like with someone you don't like, you must know how to refuse."
Yun Yang ignored the dark figure sitting beside the bed, who was in a bad mood, and picked up the chopsticks to enjoy the meal.
After taking two bites, he thought that eating in the middle of the night would make him fat, so he controlled his appetite and stopped eating after just a few bites.
Xue Yu watched her pick at the food here and there with her chopsticks, tasting a little bit of each dish. In fact, the amount of food had not decreased much. He realized that she was really different from before. In the past, she would eat until her belly was full after eating anything delicious, but now, she only eats a little.
Why is there such a difference?
Why didn't he change, but she did.
The moonlight shone on the young man's dark eyes. He picked up another pair of chopsticks, picked up a piece of pork ribs and brought it to her mouth.
"...Brother-in-law?" Yun Yang was surprised.
What did he mean by this, feeding her or forcing her to eat?
If he was feeding her, she would be an adult already. Even between elders and juniors, there would be no need to feed her. Although he was eight years older than her, they were still of the same generation. If he fed her like this, where would the distinction between men and women be placed?
If it was forced? Why did he force her?
Xue Yu said nothing, just stared at her calmly, "Why don't you eat? Aren't you hungry?"
"You'll gain weight if you eat too much." Yun Yang said.
"Why weren't you afraid of gaining weight before?" Xue Yu looked at her intently and asked. Her red lips were covered with a layer of fragrant and sweet honey, which looked sweet and delicious.
"The past is the past, and the present is the present. Things are different now." Yun Yang said.
Xue Yu put down her bowl and chopsticks, resting her arms on the edge of her couch, lowering her eyes, not knowing what she was thinking. After a while, she murmured, "What difference can it make?"
"I'm getting married soon, I can't be so fat I can't even fit into my wedding dress!" Yun Yang said unhappily, not understanding why he acted so strangely at night. She frowned impatiently, "Brother-in-law, you're asking me questions even though you already know the answer!"
Even though her tone was unpleasant, he didn't get angry. He smiled politely and said, "You've really grown up. Women dress up to please themselves. Is Yangyang doing this for Zhang Qian?"
He suppressed his impatience and tugged at his already loose collar, letting the cool night breeze in. He raised his dark, unspeakable eyes, a hint of red at the corners of his eyes and eyebrows, "Yangyang, you've already learned to love beauty for him, right?"
"...I won't talk to you anymore." Yun Yang pushed the food box out. "It's getting late. Thank you for your hospitality, brother-in-law. Please go back quickly."
Xue Yu put the lunch box on the table, turned around and sat on her bed, with a lazy posture and lowered eyes. He slowly reached out his hand to wipe the honey from the corner of her lips, his fingertips lingering on her soft and warm lips.
When his fingers touched her, Yun Yang's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and her lips, which were gently brushed by him, felt hot. The dense feeling as if insects were crawling on them made her shudder, and she suddenly realized that Xue Yu should not appear in her boudoir at this late hour.
Even if we ignore the fact that she is his wife's sister, it shouldn't be like this if they are just a single man and a single woman.
He overstepped his bounds.
"Why are you so nervous? I'm not like this when you see me in the daytime." Xue Yu said, his fingers resting on her soft cheek, staring at her and saying, "Why, do you prefer me in the daytime?"
She looked at him. The handsome young man was favored by the moonlight. His tall figure seemed to be glowing, like a god high above.
But there was an elusive expression on that handsome face. His eyes were focused, full of chaotic aggression. He slightly curled the corners of his lips, and his slightly cool fingers gently stroked her cheek. The man's cool and light breath came to her face, and Yun Yang was a little breathless for a moment.
Where is the gentlemanly appearance he has during the day?
"Go away."
Yun Yang gritted her teeth and turned away, her face as red as clouds, dodging his hand. Her heart was beating wildly, her hands were arched, and her fingers were nervously stroking the corner of her clothes.
He looked at her quietly, his eyes cold and his tone casual. He withdrew his hand and said casually, "You want me to leave? You're coming back with another man, so you don't want your brother-in-law anymore?"
I don't know when it started to rain, the drizzle rustled on the snow-white window paper, and the night wind, slightly cool, squeezed in through the window cracks.
Xue Yu reached out and stroked her cheek again, leaning closer. "Why are you doing this to your brother-in-law? Yangyang once asked me if I would treat you well for the rest of my life. I will do it, but what about Yangyang? Doesn't that mean your brother-in-law doesn't need to treat you well?"
The man's hard nose rubbed against her forehead, bringing a tingling sensation. His slightly cool breath seemed to penetrate into her skin, causing a shiver on the side of her neck.
Yun Yang wanted to hide again, but she couldn't push him away and was held firmly by him.
"Why are you hiding? Are you afraid of me?" Xue Yu lowered his eyes, pulled her into his arms, rubbed her slightly messy long hair, turned his face to her slightly red ears and whispered, "Why are you afraid of me? I'm your brother-in-law. Didn't you say that brothers-in-law are the best?"
The man's face was mature and handsome, but his jaw was tense, his eyes dark and shimmering. He gently stroked her snow-white, slender neck with his hand, gritted his teeth and sneered, "After seeing Zhang Qian today, you no longer recognize me as your brother-in-law. I can't even touch you?"
"Brother-in-law, don't you know the difference between men and women?" Yun Yang said.
"I've forgotten who pinched your throat on the boat to Youzhou? Who rode a horse with me and slept in the wilderness? Who opened his collar in front of me to cool off? Who hugged me and cried, asking me not to despise her, because I was the only one she had? Who pestered me, saying I was the best and that she would treat me well forever? Why didn't Yangyang mention the difference between men and women back then?"
Yun Yang's face turned pale. He was defeated by Xue Yuqing's cold and angry eyes. He hesitated, not knowing how to explain. After a while, he uttered a few words, "You are my dearest brother-in-law, so I..."
He chuckled softly, slowly raised his star-filled eyes, and brushed her ear with his soft lips. "Yes, I am your dearest brother-in-law, so Yangyang shouldn't be estranged from me."
Yun Yang felt dizzy after dinner and was feeling sleepy. After being pestered by him like that, her mind was a mess. She could only reply, "I know, I know... I'm not alienated from my brother-in-law. I'm sleepy and need to go to sleep."
"Brother-in-law coaxed you to sleep." He smiled faintly, his eyes falling on her slightly dry lips, "After talking so much, are you thirsty?"
He stood up to pour some tea. Yun Yang wanted to take it, but he dodged her hand and fed it to her lips himself.
Yun Yang just wanted to coax him away quickly, so she closed her eyes and swallowed several mouthfuls quickly. She drank too fast and started coughing. Before she knew it, he held her in his arms with one hand and held her with the other hand, gently patting her back.
"Thank you, brother-in-law." Yun Yang twisted in his arms and said unnaturally, "Brother-in-law, go back. I can sleep by myself."
Xue Yu raised his eyelids and smiled gently, "You still say you're not strangers to me? When we were in Youzhou, you always had to hold my arm and I had to coax you to sleep. Even after you fell asleep, you grabbed the corner of my clothes and wouldn't let me leave."
Yun Yang frowned, vaguely recalling the time in Youzhou when he cried so hard that he couldn't tell the difference between day and night. When he was exhausted, it seemed as if he was sitting by his bed, saying comforting words over and over again.
But his voice was cold and pleasant, with a certain soothing power. With his tireless comfort, she could fall asleep quickly and no longer be troubled by nightmares.
It was indeed him who helped her through the most difficult period.
As Yun Yang thought about it, she fell into a deep sleep without realizing it, resting her head on his chest.
Xue Yu stared at her sleeping face. Her eyes, which were clearly black and white and always made him embarrassed, were tightly closed, as if this would make him feel less guilty.
He stared at her furrowed brows and moved closer involuntarily. He reached out and smoothed her brows, and the jealousy and anger in his heart subsided a little, but this was not enough. His heart seemed to be empty, and a cold wind was blowing. Especially when he recalled her avoidance of him just now, it was like countless needles piercing his heart. He wanted to bite her so that she would feel the same way, or kiss her hard so that she couldn't breathe and could only absorb his breath.
Xue Yu smiled sadly. He was restraining his love for her like this, and even just showing the tip of the iceberg made her breath change, becoming uneasy and frightened.
The young man's eyes were like flames doused by heavy rain, with only a few sparks left. He looked forbearing and painful, his jawline tense. He stared quietly at the girl in his arms in the dark night, one hand not forgetting to pat her back.
At dawn, Yun Yang opened his hazy eyes from a deep sleep. The crab-shell blue sky seeped in through the window paper, casting a layer of light blue on the carved tent top and the snow-white curtains. The incense that had been burning all night was gone, and the last wisp of white smoke was floating in the air.
Her body was very warm, more than usual, and she could feel warm breath coming from behind her neck. She wanted to look back, but she was held tightly and couldn't move.
The tent was dim and chaotic. Yun Yang moved in a state of half-sleep and half-wakefulness, but the hand around her waist pressed down on her waist. A suppressed low moan came from the side of her neck, and something vigorous and unbridled pushed up, and wet kisses fell one after another... on her neck.
