Lucius didn't know what she meant by her sudden action, but he didn't resist and let Shengwu's beautiful and delicate face get closer to him little by little.
The distance gradually shortened until it was only a fist's distance away.
"Gurgle..."
Lucius felt a little nervous for some reason, his Adam's apple moved subconsciously, his eyelids moved slightly, and he looked carefully at the holy charm who was about to kiss him.
But it is not the tension of emotion, but the helplessness of suddenly facing something new.
Sheng Wu slowly approached, and when her moist red lips were almost touching his thin lips, she suddenly stopped and followed the curve without kissing him on the lips.
Instead, she moved closer to his ear and spoke calmly.
"Your heartbeat tells me that you don't love me."
After saying that, she immediately released her hands from his neck, stood up and put some distance between them.
"My heartbeat?" Lucius was confused. He subconsciously lowered his head and raised his hand to touch his chest. He didn't feel anything, just like usual.
"Does my faster heartbeat mean love?"
"no."
Sheng Wu stood up straight and looked at him. "When you see someone and her heartbeat inexplicably speeds up even without her doing anything, that's liking her. As for love, that's when your heartbeat only beats for her."
“…”
Listening to her explanation, Lucius fell silent. He seemed to really not love Lillian, because his heartbeat was very calm, even though she was very beautiful.
Seeing that he had nothing to say, Sheng Wu was not angry at all. After all, in the original plot, Lucius really had no feelings for Lillian, they were just a contract couple.
She pursed her lips and said softly, "Lucius, I can have children with you, but the prerequisite is that you are the one I love and you love me. Otherwise, our engagement will be unhappy and will not be blessed by God."
Lucius was a man who obeyed God in everything, but when he heard her words, he was suddenly stunned, then slowed down and said gently.
"Then let's not rush this matter. When love grows between us, we can have another child. If you don't want to, then we can wait until you are willing."
He obeyed God's command, but was unwilling to force her.
In the ideology in which he was indoctrinated, human beings are civilized and polite and should not do barbaric and crude things, including forcing women.
"good."
Hearing this, Sheng Wu nodded with a complicated expression, seemingly moved, but there was a coldness in the depths of her lowered eyes.
Lucius and Lucifer were both created by God, and they both don't understand some human nature and new things, but they are different. Lucius is a human being, he has obvious emotions and desires, and in the process of getting along with him, one can clearly feel his various human emotions, and he is generally sunny and cheerful.
Lucifer is an angel. He was born to be kind, holy and clean, so much so that he is unfamiliar with even getting angry. Even though he has seen more things and eaten more food than Lucius, his emotions rarely fluctuate. As a result, things turn into the opposite when he is stimulated again, and all kinds of dark and negative emotions quickly erode him and cause his downfall.
Compared to Lucius, Sheng Wu wants to see Lucifer’s dark side more.
It's still a bit early according to the timeline of the story, so let's wait and see.
......
In the days that followed, Lucius and Shengwu lived in the Garden of Eden.
Every day, Lucius was busy with the orchard and simple food production, while Sheng Wu was busy with easy tasks like weaving and planting flowers. The two of them treated each other with respect, and even when they slept in the same big bed, they did not do anything inappropriate.
They sleep separately on each side, not like a couple, but more like roommates.
The peaceful and tranquil life was broken one day...
The sun was shining brightly that day. Sheng Wu, wearing a lavender dress, stood in the garden watering the bright red roses. Small white flowers bloomed on the surrounding green vines and grass.
The hazy light shines down, revealing the perfect contours of her delicate profile, her collarbone is white, and she is as beautiful as an oil painting.
Just as she was watering the flowers, she suddenly heard a sound.
"Lillian, I'm back."
Lucius, who was supposed to come back in the afternoon, suddenly came back early, and the calm young man's voice was filled with a hint of impatience.
Something different seems to be happening.
Sheng Wu paused in her movements, and with her sharp ears, she heard footsteps.
More than one person.
She put down the kettle in her hand, slowly turned around and looked towards the door.
Her new husband is back.
With a woman.
There were two people standing at the gate of the garden, no, or rather, a man and a...
Female elf.
Lucius, who was originally out hunting, was holding a girl in a black cloak and a green dress. The girl had a pair of enchanting green eyes, smoky gray curly hair that was a little white, and an extremely cold and white face that was dreamy and beautiful, but unfortunately there was a long scar on her left cheek.
The most important thing is.
A pair of pointed ears were faintly visible under the girl's cloak, revealing her racial identity.
But there was blood at the corner of the girl's mouth, it was light green blood, and her cold white skin became even paler. She bent her body slightly and leaned on Lucius, looking like a weak and injured willow.
Lucius's face was filled with anxiety. He walked in quickly, carefully holding the girl in his arms, and explained to Sheng Wu who was lying motionless in front of him.
"Lillian, this is Lumina, an elf. I saw her seriously injured while hunting in the forest. She couldn't move, so I had to bring her back. Please check how much medicine we have left and apply some to her."
Lucius didn't think there was anything wrong with bringing an injured woman back. Or rather, in his open-minded attitude, he just treated the elf girl as a vulnerable person. If the injured person was a man, he would also bring him back.
[Oh no, host, this kind of husband bringing home a green tea woman has actually happened to you! Quick! Hurry up and slap that woman in the face and let her know your power!]
The black ball felt that the space was not lively enough.
Sheng Wu narrowed her pupils and looked at the elf species she saw for the first time. She curved her eyebrows and looked at Lucius gently.
"Okay, please carry this guest Lumina into our room. I'll go find some medicine."
After saying that, she calmly glanced at the girl in Lucius's arms. She was also looking at her with a hint of provocation in her eyes. She even deliberately leaned her head on Lucius' chest while Sheng Wu was looking directly at her, behaving in an extremely intimate and ambiguous manner.
It's like a concubine provoking the wife.
But Lucius didn't notice the subtle aura between the two of them at all, and even nodded in agreement with Sheng Wu's words.
"Okay, I'll carry her in and check the situation."
"Um."
Sheng Wu just smiled slightly, then turned around and went to another room to find medicine.
