Chapter 87 Chapter 87 Jinjiang First Release
Chapter 87
After hearing Cui Jue's words, Su Li was distracted for a rare moment.
During these three years, she avoided Cui Jue and restrained herself from thinking about him.
But it turned out that Cui Jue had always missed Su Li.
Su Li was speechless for a long time, she didn't know what to say.
But if it is true as Cui Jue said, that he has never touched anyone else, then he has remained chaste for her for three years?
What if Su Li never shows up? Does he plan to keep waiting like this?
Su Li had always assumed that Cui Jue's affection for her was nothing more than a passing fancy. His appointment of Su Li as empress, his care for Grandmother and Qiu Gui, and his chastity for her were simply a sign of his unconventional ways, and Cui Jue had other plans. After all, in Su Li's eyes, a man of Cui Jue's stature would never do something meaningless.
He has planned everything, he has a clear strategy, he has perfect plans, how could he not use any tricks at all and treat people with his whole heart?
This is not like Cui Jue.
And Su Li has always been self-aware.
She knew very well that Cui Jue treated her as nothing more than a captive bird, a plaything, and a forbidden delicacy...
But he had so much patience with her, lost control so many times, and had so many embarrassing moments.
What on earth is he planning?
Su Li didn't understand, but she seemed to be starting to feel curious.
Even if Su Li knew, she must not take it to heart. She had learned her lesson and she couldn't fall into the same mud pit twice.
She remembered that when she fell off the cliff before, she and Cui Jue slept together in that thatched cottage in the mountains.
Su Li was extremely tired. She prostrated herself on the man's warm and broad chest. She kept her head held high, unwilling to press her ear against Cui Jue's chest.
The heavy rain was falling outside, the sound was deafening.
Su Li was afraid that once she got close to Cui Jue, she would find out that he was not a god who looked down on the world below him. She would find out that he also had a rumbling heartbeat, warm blood flowing in his meridians, and that he was also a mortal human being.
Cui Jue is just like her, with flesh and blood, tears, and the ability to feel suffering and sadness... Su Li would unconsciously approach him until she was stupid enough to fail to anticipate Cui Jue's trap and was fooled by him.
So on the morning of leaving the thatched hut, when Su Li looked at Cui Jue and Li Muyao leaning against each other from the wet puddle on the ground, she made up her mind - she would never fall in love with Cui Jue, she had to know herself well, and she had to always be invincible.
Only in this way can you protect your wings and not be trapped by love.
That way you won't feel sad for anyone.
Su Li endured the pain in her legs alone. She stepped on the puddle and threw away all the illusory past.
She returned the jade pendant intact to Zhao.
The matter was settled with Cui Jue.
Just like when Su Li was attacked in Pingyao City that night, she threw the jade pendant belonging to the Cui family's wife into the vast snow.
There was absolutely no possibility of any intimacy between her and Cui Jue.
She doesn't want him.
But...why?
When Cui Jue said, "He has been waiting for her for the past three years," Su Li actually felt palpitations and she started to act stupidly.
Su Li lowered her head in confusion and looked at Cui Jue who was holding her up high.
This time, Su Li's gaze fell on Cui Jue's face. She stared at Cui Jue's extremely beautiful face, her stare at his cold eyebrows, dark eyes, and handsome nose. She looked at everything about him.
Su Li asked blankly: "Cui Jue, what do you want?"
Cui Jue blinked his eyelashes lightly, pursed his thin lips, and his palm climbed up Su Li's neck gently and forcefully.
He seemed to be afraid that she would escape, so he used great force;
He seemed afraid of hurting her, so he was very gentle.
The wound on Cui Jue's palm broke open again.
Countless drops of bright red blood flowed along the rugged palm lines and fell onto Su Li's collar.
It flows along the pointed and smooth collarbone all the way to the waist and abdomen.
It was clearly dirty blood, clearly blood with a strong fishy smell, but at this moment, Su Li actually felt that she and Cui Jue were extremely close. She and he were blended in the thick blood and sweat, and were inseparable.
Countless fine red lines meandered along her snow-white skin, entwining Su Li's arms like vines, and like the five-colored threads of the Double Ninth Festival, tightly entangling her.
At the moment when Su Li was about to look away, Cui Jue finally spoke.
"Su Li."
The man tilted his head back, his jawline was elegant, his Adam's apple was as white as jade, and his face was rugged and shining.
He said, "Su Li, I want you to... come and love me."
Cui Jue's words were resolute, determined, and filled with an indomitable momentum. He stated his purpose in a domineering and fierce manner. He would not deal with her, he wanted to declare war on her arrogantly.
He wants to win this love competition.
No matter whether it is conspiracy or overt conspiracy, no matter how careful the calculations are, no matter what means are used.
He was extremely eager to get his own spoils.
He was absolutely sure... he really wanted Su Li.
He wanted Su Li to be willing and stay for him just once.
"Su Li, I admire you."
"Su Li, I hope you...will marry me."
This was the first time that Su Li heard the word "love" from Cui Jue's mouth. She stood still, her faint breath intertwined with the man's heat. She felt sweating all over and her palms boiling. She lowered her shoulders and lay on Cui Jue's chest, lonely and helpless, like a bird drenched in rain.
This was a rare occasion when Su Li remained silent.
Her mind was blank and her thoughts were in disarray. She was in a trance for a long time, only muttering a few words in a low voice.
"Cui Jue, I've never seen my parents since I was born. My grandmother and I depend on each other for survival. We live in a thatched hut that's even smaller than this imperial tent. In winter, a thin layer of frost covers the ground, and even with shoes on, my feet are numb from the freezing cold. In the summer, when it rains a lot, the roof leaks, and I pick up broken, flat stones outside to collect rainwater..."
“Since I was little, I have always wondered how many wild fruits I should pick to buy a piece of meat, and how much hard labor I should do to buy a book.”
"Whenever I feel sad and that life is hard, I will think that at least I still have my grandmother, at least I am free, and I still have many rare wild pleasures..."
"I thought life would get better and better. I thought as long as you don't give up, you'll definitely have great luck."
"But I was wrong. Very wrong."
"The powerful family pursued me for their own selfish ends. The Lanhe Su family imprisoned me behind high walls and used my grandmother as a hostage, forcing me to obey and submit... Just because I resembled Su Youli, just because I shared a slight physical connection with her, my life was ruined!"
"I was forced to be close to you, forced to be near you... When you kissed me, when you held me in your grip, I silently told myself not to be afraid, not to resist, because this suffering was all I had to go through. Because I am as lowly as mud, because I was born in the market, because I was born into this world of the rich and powerful, I can only accept my fate."
"Cui Jue, it's true that I don't hate you that much, and it's true that I can feel your love. But I can't stay here without any regrets, because I have endured for too long, because I am unwilling to give up..."
Su Li was like a rapidly burning fire, which only blazed for a moment before slowly dying out.
Cui Jue understood what Su Li said.
His heart seemed to be embedded with a green plum, gradually becoming raw and painful. He felt uncomfortable and happy at the same time.
Finally, one time, Su Li was willing to open her heart.
She became the girl who didn't believe in fate. Her desire for life was burning, and she was fighting back hard.
Like a caged bird.
She was trying hard to break through the ice shell, and she was finally willing to be honest with Cui Jue.
Although Su Li fought desperately.
She tore herself to pieces, tore herself to pieces, and they fought, confronted, and killed each other in blood... She showed no sign of softening.
Cui Jue gently stroked Su Li's trembling back. He coaxed her and asked her in a low voice, "Su Li, what are you unwilling to accept?"
Su Li bit her lip, she found it difficult to speak.
She had actually obtained the freedom given by Cui Jue.
She can live carefree in the city and will not be imprisoned behind high walls.
But she was still avoiding Cui Jue. She was still thinking about taking her grandmother and Qiu Gui and completely disappearing from Cui Jue's life...
At this moment, Su Li seemed to understand why she resisted Cui Jue.
She was not so opposed to Cui Jue.
She and he were at loggerheads, she and he were irreconcilable, and there was no room for easing the relationship between them... Su Li was simply trying to resist fate.
She wanted to make her own decision for once.
She wanted to make Cui Jue, who represented the powerful and wealthy, lose everything, as if this would make up for her life which had been completely ruined by the Su family and the Cui family since she was seven years old.
She regarded Cui Jue as her enemy and wanted to fight him to the death.
Even if the fault was not Cui Jue's.
Even though her actions were too cruel to Cui Jue.
Even though she became a villain, she made Cui Jue feel unfair.
Su Li sat dejectedly in Cui Jue's arms. She felt weak all over, like snow dust that would crumble to pieces at the slightest touch. She melted into water in Cui Jue's warm, bleeding palm.
She said, "I just can't accept it. I just think every day, because you are a noble man and I am a common peasant girl, there are so many differences between us, and why we have such different lives? Why is it that everything you want can be obtained so easily?"
"Why do I have to work so hard to survive and get a little sweetness?"
"Cui Jue, I won't give up."
"Cui Jue, I have nothing, and you have so many options. Cui Jue, you are the king of Wu, you have everything."
"I'm just an ordinary woman. There's a world of difference between you and me. If I fall in love, I'll lose everything. That's why I can't respond to you, and I don't dare to respond to you..."
"Cui Jue, please... let me go."
Su Li honestly admitted that she would not indulge in love, she did not dare to have any intersection with him, and she could not fall into the point of having nothing.
Su Li wanted to get off Cui Jue's legs, but the moment she pulled away, the strong and powerful arm trapped her slender waist again.
Su Li was pulled back into Cui Jue's arms again.
Immediately afterwards, the man's warm chest covered her, and Su Li was imprisoned in that sad embrace.
Cui Jue turned her jaw and bit the corner of her mouth firmly yet tenderly.
He licked and kissed her lips, his movements gentle and careful, as if trying to soothe her resentment.
Cui Jue no longer had any other means. He didn't know how to keep Su Li, so he could only use despicable love affairs to seduce Su Li.
The man's intensive kisses fell on Su Li's jaw and behind her ears, making her eyelashes wet. She didn't know whether it was tears or sweat.
Su Li was pressed down on the bed by Cui Jue.
The thin animal skin blanket beneath him pressed tightly against his thin shoulders and back, bringing with it a slight itch.
Cui Jue was still kissing her. When Su Li tried to breathe several times, he forcefully sealed her lips and teeth, forcing her to drown in the spring pool.
Forcing Su Li to feel his surging desire helplessly.
Su Li's dress was undone by the man's cold hands.
The panties were taken off, and the girl's knees were hanging on Cui Jue's thin waist.
Su Li's almond-shaped eyes were dark and moist, her bones were soft and her muscles were relaxed, her fingers were entwined with the strands of Cui Jue's silky black hair.
Su Li felt dizzy and felt that Cui Jue was as cold as the snow on the top of the mountain, and he could melt her just right.
Both of them felt like they were on fire, their consciousness was blurred. Su Li was sweating profusely.
The legs and ankles were all wet.
A moment later, Su Li's legs bent and broke in Cui Jue's arm with bulging veins.
She was held hostage by him.
Cui Jue bit the girl's earlobe with his teeth.
A drop of hot sweat was about to fall onto Su Li's chest, burning her and making her tremble slightly.
Su Li's almond-shaped eyes opened slightly, and her cherry lips parted slightly, revealing the tip of her small, bright red tongue.
Cui Jue couldn't resist the temptation and used his tongue on hers again.
Su Li was dazed and subconsciously wanted to run.
But Cui Jue's hand had already pressed down on her waist as she kept retreating.
The man pinched Su Li's snow-white buttocks with his slender and powerful knuckles, not allowing Su Li to dodge again.
Su Li was entangled in the wet spider web. She was like an innocent butterfly, with nowhere to hide and no way to escape.
Then, Su Li was panting, and she heard Cui Jue lower his head and lean close to her ear.
At this moment, Cui Jueyan was like a demon, his phoenix eyes were burning, he was persuading her in a gentle and persuasive manner, and his voice was hoarse and forbearing.
He said—
"Su Li, let me in... okay?"
