Chapter 95 Chapter 95 Jinjiang First Release
It was already evening when Su Li returned to Meihua Village.
The bamboo branches in the mountains are green and fragrant. The chinaberry tree at the entrance of the village is blooming with clusters of lavender flowers. Furry mountain magpies are perched on the branches, peeking at the sweet cake in Su Li's hand.
Su Li generously broke off a piece of cake and handed it over.
Seeing that Xiaoque had eaten, she packed up the oil-paper bag contentedly and returned to the courtyard.
Su Li put down the bags in her hands and fled into the room before Yuan Ge'er caught up with her. She disguised her face back to her usual appearance when meeting guests.
Then, Su Li washed her hands, opened the door, and stuffed the candied black plums she bought into the child's mouth.
Yuan Ge'er's cheeks puffed up as he looked up and asked Su Li, "Godmother, was that the big horse that Godfather rode last night? Can you take Yuan Ge'er on a big horse next time?"
Su Li said repeatedly, of course.
Su Li coaxed Yuan Ge'er and went to greet Lin Yin and the others.
Lin Yin already knew Cui Jue's identity, so he wasn't too surprised that the man went crazy late at night. Now that Su Li had returned safely, he felt relieved and didn't ask any more questions.
Yang Dalang and Mrs. Hu felt strange, but they also knew that Su Li and Master Lan had an old relationship, and now they were together again. The man was not married and the woman was not married, so it was not a new thing for them to stay in the same room privately.
Su Li thought about it, and then vaguely covered up the fact that she had gone out in a few words - she had severe abdominal pain last night, and Master Lan was in a hurry, so he rode his horse to take her into the city to seek medical treatment.
Some people knew that Master Lan had a wealthy family and worked in the government office. Perhaps he had some connections in the Liuzhou government office and could come into the city in the middle of the night to find a doctor.
They were not the type to get to the bottom of things, so since Su Li said so, they believed it.
At dinner at night, Mrs. Hu asked Su Li if she wanted to bring Cui Jue's meal.
Su Li thought that although Cui Jue seemed indifferent and cold, he was actually quite clingy. If she didn't take him with her to dinner at night, she might be unhappy.
After much thought, Su Li decided to ask Mrs. Hu to cook more, just in case Cui Jue came home and wanted to eat.
Perhaps knowing that Cui Jue had been in a bad mood at the dinner table, Su Li helped with the cooking tonight. Before adding the Evodia rutaecarpa and ginger to the tofu fish soup, she scooped a bowl of light and sweet fish soup and placed it aside for Cui Jue to drink.
But strangely, Cui Jue did not come until the moon was at its zenith.
Su Li was only surprised for a moment, but soon accepted this abnormal thing.
The next morning, Su Li finally ate up the bowl of fish soup by dipping it in steamed buns.
More than ten days later, Cui Jue finally showed up at night.
When Su Li saw him for the first time, she thought she was seeing things.
On the steps of the courtyard gate, the man's eyes were cold as stars, his eyebrows were long and reaching his temples, his black and smooth hair was half tied up, and a plum branch ebony hairpin was placed across the back of his head. His black hair cascaded down, draped over his upright shoulders, and swayed in the wind.
He was wearing a frost-green robe, with a thin reed-gray belt tied around his narrow waist. Now, under the cold moonlight, he looked less ferocious and sinister than before, and had a more desolate air of clear light and jade-like reflection.
Mrs. Hu enthusiastically added a set of bowls and chopsticks for Cui Jue and asked him to sit down and eat. Yang Dalang also hurriedly poured him wine. Even Lin Yin suppressed his unhappiness and moved the bench to add a seat for Cui Jue.
Su Li always felt that Cui Jue was a little strange today, but she couldn't put her finger on it. Seeing him standing at the door for a long time without moving, she stepped forward and took the man's hand, "Master, have you eaten yet?"
Cui Jue was stunned for a moment, his eyes fell on the hand Su Li handed over: "Not yet."
Su Li subconsciously pinched Cui Jue's wrist bone and was surprised to find that the man's bones were sharp and hard, and he had actually lost a lot of weight.
Su Li couldn't help but look up at his face, which was always handsome beyond imagination, and asked with a puzzled expression: "Master, have you been ill recently?"
Cui Jue vaguely sensed Su Li's concern, but he thought she would not ask about what had happened in the past few days.
The man felt a slight warmth in his heart and replied softly, "I'm not sick... I'm just busy with work."
Su Li smiled, dimples forming on her cheeks. "So, it looks like I'm done for today?"
Cui Jue also pulled his lip: "Yeah, I'm done."
Su Li led Cui Jue to a seat, perhaps with less resentment towards Cui Jue in her heart.
She felt much more relaxed after having dinner at the same table tonight.
Su Li knew that Cui Jue was very picky about food and didn't like spicy food.
Therefore, the dishes Su Li picked for him were all without hot sauce.
Cui Jue ate his meal with every move being slow and measured. Not only did he drink his soup quietly, but he also didn't let his chopsticks knock against the bowls and dishes when he picked up food. He had the demeanor of a noble young man from aristocratic family.
At night, Su Li took a bath and changed her clothes. Cui Jue was unusually considerate and even rolled up his sleeves to help her light the stove and fetch water.
Perhaps Su Li's surprise was too obvious, and Cui Jue couldn't help but frown: "In the past, when I was on the march, it was inevitable that I would be attacked and trapped. I don't need someone to serve me all the time. If the conditions were difficult, I could also cook and boil water."
This was something Su Li didn't know. When she thought about it carefully, she seemed to have never asked about Cui Jue.
On the other hand, out of resentment and hatred, she told Cui Jue a lot of things about her childhood.
Su Li didn't know much about Cui Jue, almost nothing at all.
A long time ago, after Su Li and Cui Jue had sex, Aunt Huirong served her.
At that time, Huirong saw that Su Li was weak and her body was covered with purple fingerprints left by Cui Jue. She was afraid that Su Li would feel resentful, so she pulled Su Li aside and talked about all sorts of things about Cui Jue's childhood.
Aunt Huirong said that Cui Jue's parents died early.
His father died on the battlefield, and his mother became depressed and soon passed away with her late husband.
Cui Jue was the one who was abandoned.
Perhaps because Cui Jue has been alone since childhood, he longs to have a child, hoping that there will be another relative in the world who is related to him by blood.
At night, Su Li changed into her sleeping clothes and got into the soft and thin quilt first.
The mountain wind was chilly and it had rained. Even in early summer, it was still a bit cold late at night, so Su Li would curl up in her quilt and sleep at night.
There was an extra person on the couch. Su Li's quilt was not long enough for two people to cover. She had no choice but to move an inch towards Cui Jue.
Su Li felt guilty and moved her hips deliberately, pressing them against Cui Jue's muscular legs to keep warm.
Cui Jue noticed her unusual movement and quickly reached out his hand without hesitation.
The man's cool arms wrapped around Su Li's slender waist and pulled her into his arms.
Cui Jue had just showered and changed his clothes, and there were still some water stains on his strong and sturdy chest. The water droplets soaked through his snow-white shirt, making his well-defined abdominal muscles even colder.
Su Li was forcefully pressed into the man's arms.
The girl's thin back was covered by Cui Jue's hot body, pressing tightly. Su Li slowly felt the cold wetness.
Su Li also knew that Cui Jue had the slightest intention.
He pushed against it tentatively.
There was a zeolite embedded in the base of her legs, and Su Li would feel a little nervous every time at such moments.
Su Li was frightened, but she didn't fall into the trap and pointed it out to him.
She could only let Cui Jue put one hand around her waist and the other hand around her round shoulders.
Cui Jue came from behind, and planted a dense stream of kisses on her shoulder, biting lightly with his teeth, entangled with the lotus-red bellyband strap behind her head.
The man's hot breath brushed against Su Li's snow-white neck.
It was the warm wind that softened my bones, and the quilt was so thick that the temperature inside the bed gradually increased.
Su Li was sweating all over and was wet.
Even the underwear was stuck to the knees due to the sweat, giving a prickly feeling.
Su Li felt Cui Juehan biting her earlobe.
The man's soft tongue sucked and licked her sensitive and slightly tough ear bone.
Cui Jue's lips and tongue were very hot, even a little burning.
Su Li's noses were sweating from the kiss, and the wetness moved from her earlobes to her snow-white and plump chest.
Su Li grabbed Cui Jue's hand that was reaching for his belt, and twisted her waist wildly, trying to avoid Cui Jue's shackles.
But it was obvious that no matter how she tried to escape, it was in vain.
Cui Jue finally bit off the red belt on Su Li's neck.
Her lower abdomen felt cold, and her clothes disappeared.
Su Li had her hands cut by Cui Jue.
The white and tender legs were wrapped around the man's strong waist.
Cui Jue's broad palm with strong muscles and bones crushed the soft and smooth flesh on the inside of Mosuli's wrist.
No matter how her knuckles curled, how she sweated, or how she begged softly, Cui Jue did not let her go.
Instead, Cui Jue became angry. He knelt on the couch with a thin blanket over his shoulders.
He straightened his back and used force to pick up Su Li.
Cui Jue intentionally sealed the girl's plump lips and pressed against them deliberately.
The moment he touched her lips, saliva oozed out of his mouth.
The dripping sweat all fell into the gray quilt.
Su Li hugged Cui Jue, and her nails deliberately scratched his broad back, digging into the flesh and leaving scratches to vent her anger.
In the dim and cramped room, Su Li used the moonlight to clearly see Cui Jue's cold jaw and sharp phoenix eyes.
His voice was deep and hoarse. He kissed the delicate flesh on Su Li's chin and rubbed her deliberately, which made Su Li lose her temper.
Cui Jue was amused and deliberately teased Su Li, whispering to her, "Since you've been hungry for more than ten days, eat well. We're going to Jianye now, and I don't know when we'll see each other again, so I have to make sure you're satisfied."
Su Li gnashed her teeth in anger: "I'm not greedy at all!"
"Really?" Cui Jue deliberately teased her, "If you want to spend a night like this, I'm fine with that."
Su Li understood Cui Jue's hint. He was clearly unwilling to withdraw, and Qing was waiting for Su Li to beg.
How could there be such a shameless person?!
Su Li's ears felt a little hot when she thought about him spending the whole night like this.
It was really too crowded and Su Li didn't want to be caught in a dilemma.
After much thought, the girl could only let her thick eyelashes tremble slightly. Suppressing her shame, she begged Cui Jue once again: "Don't do this..."
Cui Jue knew that Su Li couldn't help being teased, so he didn't try to tease her anymore.
Cui Jue only looked calm, but in fact, the selfish thoughts in his heart had already crushed his rationality along with his tightened breathing.
Cui Jue finally possessed Su Li.
Teach her everything, and make it all his.
…
Su Li collapsed in Cui Jue's arms, letting him hold her while he gently rubbed the bruises on her knees.
Su Li didn't expect that Cui Jue couldn't hide his interest in the end and forced her to kneel for such a long time.
Cui Jue's slender fingers inserted into Su Li's black hair.
He slowly helped her to ejaculate, and after the satisfying lovemaking, the two of them leaned against each other, feeling a rare sense of peace and tranquility.
Su Li was feeling sleepy and was too lazy to move. She just sat sideways in Cui Jue's arms with her bare legs. Her long, sweaty hair covered her palm-sized face and she buried herself in Cui Jue's arms.
Su Li closed her eyes sleepily and asked Cui Jue, "Master, I heard from Supervisor Yang that you will be leaving for Jianye County in the next few days?"
Cui Jue paused while combing her hair, and lightly pressed his slightly calloused fingertips on the back of her neck, rubbing it gently.
"Well, I wanted to take you back to the city, but Jianye County has been quite uneasy lately, so I decided to leave you in Liuzhou and wait... Su Li, don't worry, your grandmother and maid are on their way to Liuzhou, and you can be reunited with your family."
Hearing this, Su Li's sleepiness disappeared. She was surprised at Cui Jue's thoughtfulness, but also wondered why he suddenly let go.
Su Li has always known that Cui Jue is a person with a strong desire for control. He is suspicious by nature. Even if he loves Su Li, he will not allow her to leave too far... Although Cui Jue will treat her grandmother and Qiu Gui well, Su Li's family should be his last bargaining chip to keep her. Why would Cui Jue destroy his own trump card?
Su Li couldn't understand Cui Jue, and remembered his strange behavior in recent days.
Such a clingy man either endured his evil thoughts and didn't come to see her for more than ten days, or ordered people to escort her grandmother and Qiu Gui to reunite with her in Liuzhou.
Could it be that Cui Jue is going to give up on her?
Su Li immediately thought of her bloated belly from eating so much...
She immediately dismissed the idea.
It's impossible. This person has left so much behind. How could he let go of her so easily?
Even if he died, he would want to grab her ankles, drag her into the coffin, and close the lid before he would give up.
As expected, Cui Jue closed his eyes slightly and said meaningfully, "Since I've done you a favor, shouldn't you reciprocate?"
These words were full of profound meaning, but Su Li soon understood them.
A heat ran up her sweaty spine, and Su Li rubbed her itchy ears for no apparent reason.
She knelt down and carefully held Cui Jue's face.
Su Li's almond eyes were dark and bright, and she asked quietly: "A kiss, is that a favor?"
Cui Jue was cunning. He tilted his neck back, his jagged Adam's apple moving slightly, and said in a low voice, "Just try it."
Su Li knew he was teasing her, but she had no other skills, so it seemed like she could only thank him like this...
Su Li lowered her head, and the cherry lips that had uttered heart-piercing evil words, illusory sweet talk, and cruel curses pressed against Cui Jue's cold thin lips.
A sweet breath came from the slightly pursed lips.
This actually made Cui Jue feel a little moved.
Before Su Li could come to her senses, her white neck, as slender as a lotus branch, was already in the palm of Cui Jue's slender finger bones.
He tasted the saliva and warm tongue that Su Li gave him, and for a moment he was a little out of control.
He had to force himself to be patient in order to suppress the urge to destroy Su Li.
The man's gaze was extremely aggressive as he stared straight at Su Li.
The veins on Cui Jue's neck were scattered and slightly bulging, with fierce veins. Even his slightly raised jaw became more angular due to his infatuation.
Cui Jue wantonly plundered the breath from Su Li's mouth. He wanted to tear her apart and eat her, but in the end, he softened his heart in the face of her warm tears and gradually restrained his actions.
When Su Li, breathless, collapsed on Cui Jue's shoulder, the man finally asked in a vague voice, "Su Li, are you afraid of death?"
Su Li's body froze, and she was almost stunned by Cui Jue's questions.
She couldn't help but curse in her heart: Who would kiss a woman and then ask her if she was afraid of death?! Is that something you can ask in bed?!
Su Li said unhappily, "Of course I'm afraid! Who doesn't fear death?"
Cui Jue seemed to be amused by her, and he rarely let out a sound, his chest vibrating slightly, shocking people's ears.
Su Li didn't know what was wrong with Cui Jue again. She muttered to herself, hiding her face with Cui Jue's messy and open clothes, and said nothing.
Cui Jue seemed to be trying to soothe her emotions. He gently stroked her back and murmured, "I wanted to take you with me... but I was afraid you would feel pain."
Su Li frowned slightly, thinking that he meant to go to Jianye County together.
But what pain did she have when she went to Jianye County? Could it be that the long journey, the bumpy mountain roads, and her waist and hips would suffer from sitting in the carriage?
Su Li made random guesses and did not disturb Cui Jue.
Cui Jue lowered his eyelashes and continued, "You couldn't even bear your first time, and you cried so hard, so why do you have to suffer so much? Just the arrow in your waist and abdomen hurt me more than you, so how could I let you suffer more... Su Li, you have to remember my kindness."
Cui Jue held her with increasing strength, as if he wanted to embed her in his arms, integrate her into his bones and blood, and thus become one.
Su Li slowly sensed something was amiss. She tried to stop Cui Jue from hitting him too hard, but she said helplessly, "I understand, I understand. I will definitely remember the eldest young master's kindness, and choose a day to transcribe it into a book, and place it high on the incense table. At the beginning, middle, and end of every month, I will bathe, burn incense, and recite the eldest young master's kind words three times in the ancestral hall to commemorate him."
Su Li deliberately mentioned this method of commemorating the dead to annoy Cui Jue, but unexpectedly, after hearing it, he was not angry at all, but also carefully pointed out Su Li's shortcomings.
For example, if he wanted to enjoy incense, he would smoke the house with plum blossom icicles and then burn incense.
For example, he likes quietness and does not want to bring outsiders into the ancestral hall.
For example, he couldn't stand loneliness, so it would be best if Su Li could come to the ancestral hall more often every month...
Su Li couldn't help but roll her eyes when she heard that. "You talk as if you're really going to die. Bah, bah, bah, you can't say that kind of thing, lest you offend the gods and Buddhas and make it come true. It's also my fault for being so rude that I didn't think straight and cursed the eldest master."
"It's okay. I don't believe in gods and Buddhas... If there is a punishment from heaven, it's because I have committed too much killing, and it has nothing to do with you." Cui Jue kissed her lightly, and kissed Su Li until she felt dizzy and confused.
Su Li hated herself for being blinded by lust, but she could do nothing and let Cui Jue's tiger mouth pry her chin open.
The corners of Cui Jue's eyes were flushed, as if she was charming. He looked at her gently, and suddenly raised his lips, not knowing what he was thinking of.
"Su Li."
"It's interesting... there came a day when I was afraid of death."
