He gently placed her on the bed and used a large, soft towel to slowly dry the water droplets off her body, starting from her collarbone and moving downwards.
Having just emerged from the steamy bathroom, Yi Yi still had a pinkish glow, making her resemble a delicate, budding flower.
Yi Yi also quieted down and lay motionless, letting Mu Nanxun dry her body. With each spot he wiped, the pores in that area tightened, and she didn't dare to breathe loudly. Her whole face was redder than a monkey's bottom.
Sometimes, his warm fingertips would touch her skin intentionally or unintentionally, and each time she couldn't help but shudder.
He carefully dried her body and hair, then tossed the towel and clothes aside, bent down, and kissed her brow and eyes. Her long eyelashes fluttered, landing on his thin lips like two butterflies fluttering their wings.
"Yiyi..."
He let out a soft groan, and a dense trail of kisses slid down his body...
...
I haven't had such a peaceful sleep in a long time. The sunlight streamed in through the window, warm and comforting. Outside, everything was golden.
It's already autumn, and it's rare to encounter such bright and clear weather.
When Yi opened her eyes, Mu Nanxun was still asleep. He was right beside her, holding her close even in his sleep.
Yi moved her body slightly, feeling as if her whole body was falling apart in pain.
This Mu Nanxun, how could he have no tenderness towards a woman? He tormented her for an entire night. Perhaps because he had been suppressing his emotions for too long, Mu Nanxun was even more violent and savage than usual last night. However, in Mu Nanxun's own eyes, this was already the result of his best efforts to restrain himself.
"Ouch...it really hurts..."
After each of these things, she would be in sore all over, as if she had been run over by a car. But Mu Nanxun was always full of energy, seemingly never getting tired. After a whole night of this, he finally fell asleep, allowing Yi Yi to get some rest.
She endured the pain and turned to face Mu Nanxun. His clear and handsome features were right in front of her, and his even breath sprayed onto her face.
"Mumu..."
Yi murmured, reaching out from under the covers to stroke his thick eyebrows, her hand lingering on the peak of his brow.
She loved looking at him so closely, quietly feeling his presence. Especially on a sunny, warm morning like this, with birds singing and flowers blooming.
So much has happened during this time; they've both gone through unimaginable hardships. Now, all that is in the past. Those experiences will gradually settle, be sealed away, and let time refine them into fine wine. When they're old, they'll open the old jar, savor the wine, and reminisce about the past.
For some reason, I started imagining them in their future, gray-haired selves. Wrinkles would etch themselves around her eyes, and his face would bear the marks of time. Their black hair, weathered by years, would have turned silver. Perhaps, by then, he wouldn't be as tall and imposing, and she wouldn't be as slender and beautiful as she was now, but they would still be hunched over, hand in hand, strolling along the tree-lined paths of the Maple Riverside, watching the sunrise and sunset, listening to the birdsong and the chirping of insects…
Yi Yi herself didn't realize that when she thought about these scenes, her eyes were filled with a soft light.
Her soft, boneless hand moved down to his chest, where the scars from his healed wounds still remained.
He must have been in a lot of pain at that time.
