Chapter 84 Crowded She insisted on squeezing into this small place with Anhe...
Zhao Liangxu's stare made An He feel a little intimidated, but she finally gave up and said to An He, "Since that's what you say, Eunuch An, then I'll go to sleep. Eunuch An, please go and rest."
Zhao Liangxu seemed to have been truly persuaded by An He, and quietly took off her outer clothes, leaving only her undergarments.
Then, without saying another word to Anhe, he walked towards the bed.
Anhe also took a quilt and carried it to the couch in the outer room. Not long after, Anhe noticed that Zhao Liangxu had extinguished the candle on the lampstand, and the inner room became quiet.
He really is just asking for trouble.
The daybed was just big enough for him to rest and recline on, and it wasn't too uncomfortable to use it as a temporary place to rest for one night.
Normally, the best materials are used to cover the daybed, and Anhe feels that it is no different from a bed when he lies on it.
But he felt empty inside. His repeated rejections had ultimately dispelled Zhao Liangxu's thoughts.
He wondered if Zhao Liangxu would distance herself from him because he had gotten used to refusing people like this.
Anhe thought somewhat uneasily, anyone would be discouraged after being rejected repeatedly, and wasn't that exactly the result he wanted?
There must be some distance between him and Zhao Liangxu; they can't just be as intimate and carried away as ordinary men and women.
They have good days to look forward to, but it's best for him and Zhao Liangxu to stay as they are.
Anhe lay awake in the darkness, counting down the days to come. In those imagined lives, Zhao Liangxu was always there, but there was always a lingering shadow that she couldn't shake off.
He was bothered by himself.
In the stillness of the night, even Anhe slowly drifted off to sleep, lost in thought.
Zhao Liangxu suddenly got up from the bed, her eyes clear.
She wasn't asleep at all.
She slept until almost noon in the morning, and she wasn't sleepy at all.
Anhe thought that Zhao Liangxu had given up and yielded because of his attitude, but how could Zhao Liangxu let go of something she had set her mind on so easily?
She gently lifted the covers and tiptoed to the daybed where Anhe was sleeping.
She looked down at Anhe's sleeping profile and let out a soft hum in the darkness.
He clearly wanted to sleep with her, but he deliberately refused her with a cold face.
What a hypocrite!
Zhao Liangxu lifted a corner of the blanket covering An He, saw that there was still some room on the daybed, and lay down directly on it.
Anyway, An He is a light sleeper, and her movements of lying next to him will inevitably wake him up. All she needs to do is cover him with the blanket the moment he wakes up. He can't just kick her off the bed.
Anhe felt the soft mattress sink in, and then a warm body lay down next to him.
He woke up naturally.
"You!" An He was startled when he woke up and instinctively leaned back, which gave Zhao Liangxu some space.
Zhao Liangxu, completely oblivious to being an uninvited guest, leaned close to An He's ear and whispered, "Good evening, Eunuch An."
"Now that I'm lying here, are you going to push me down again, Grandpa An?"
She reached out and hugged Anhe tightly. The two of them could sleep on the daybed, but they slept very cautiously, and had to be careful when turning over.
Zhao Liangxu simply stuck Anhe on tightly.
Why did you do this?
Anhe seemed to be still half asleep, and directly voiced the question that was on her mind.
How could she be so persistent?
"Of course I like Eunuch An. I've said it countless times. I want Eunuch An to sleep with me, but you're always so timid and hesitant. So I have to do all the talking and doing for Eunuch An myself." Zhao Liangxu was enjoying herself.
Every time she saw Anhe's shocked yet helpless expression, she never missed the fleeting look of relief in Anhe's eyes.
"Eunuch An is so reserved. Do I always have to take the initiative?" Zhao Liangxu complained, but she couldn't help but laugh when she felt An He's stiff but not refusing body since he woke up.
He acted so cold and distant before going to sleep, but he actually really enjoys being with her.
"Honestly, why did you have to squeeze into this small space? The bed is much more spacious." An He was no longer concerned with the deep self-examination he had given himself before going to sleep; he was thoroughly enjoying Zhao Liangxu's embrace.
Anhe pulled Zhao Liangxu to the inside to prevent her from falling accidentally, which brought the two even closer together.
Zhao Liangxu draped her legs over An He like she was hugging a pillow, pressed her cheek against An He's cheek, and squinted her eyes as she rubbed against him.
"Anyway, Eunuch An can't refuse. Besides, it's his own fault for coming here to suffer. If Eunuch An had readily agreed, we should both be sound asleep in bed right now."
Zhao Liangxu wore only her inner garment, while An He naturally changed into his nightgown in his bedroom. Although their sleeping clothes were slightly different, they both adhered to the same principle.
The clothes you wear should be loose and comfortable.
Therefore, as Zhao Liangxu squeezed onto the daybed, her clothes were inevitably pulled, revealing a corner of her waist underneath.
He tugged at Zhao Liangxu's clothes and said, "Don't move around, your clothes are all messed up."
Zhao Liangxu looked down and then smiled, "Eunuch An, what time is it now?"
An He was puzzled, and Zhao Liangxu continued, "It's already past bedtime. If I wasn't worried that Eunuch An would think I was too frivolous, I would have stayed in my room and wouldn't even want to wear this undergarment outside."
Upon hearing this, Anhe was stunned.
He couldn't help but picture Zhao Liangxu lounging around in the room. He had never seen her before, but Zhao Liangxu's words had unconsciously conjured up the image in his mind.
Anhe felt the redness on the tips of her ears spreading to her forehead and cheeks.
"Don't talk to us like that. You're just spouting everything out of the family. Don't you even consider whether you should say certain things?"
Zhao Liangxu chuckled softly, nestled in An He's hair, "But I feel I can tell Eunuch An anything."
After all that commotion, neither of them felt sleepy for a while.
Zhao Liangxu then started chatting with An He.
She twirled a strand of Anhe's hair around her index finger, rolling it around and around, and asked, "Eunuch An, are you very curious about why I wrote those two words during the day? You must be very curious, right?"
An He didn't want to discuss this topic, otherwise he really wouldn't know what to do if he heard Zhao Liangxu utter those two words again.
“I don’t want to know,” Anhe replied briefly.
I really do want to.
Zhao Liangxu had long seen through An He and casually made a surprising remark: "As for the things I'll need in the future, I only know this much. I'll have to look up the rest in the books. Back then, I really just wrote down whatever came to mind. I even knew not to let Li Ying see it, but Eunuch An snatched it away first."
Anhe's breathing became heavier.
She didn't say those two words, but what she said now is even more outrageous.
What is she saying?
What is she saying?
Anhe wished she could thoroughly examine Zhao Liangxu's mind to see what she was thinking about all day long!
He was even a little panicked. Hearing Zhao Liangxu's serious analysis, An He didn't know whether to cover Zhao Liangxu's mouth or clear these words from his own mind. He lowered his voice and said, "Shut up!"
Zhao Liangxu was stopped by An He in a low voice, but she was laughing in her heart and in her eyes.
"Why are you telling me to shut up again, Eunuch An? I didn't say anything nonsense."
"Hasn't Eunuch An thought about it? It can't just be about holding me while I sleep; I want to do other things with you..."
Before Zhao Liangxu could continue speaking, An He reached out and covered her mouth to prevent her from saying anything even stranger.
She, she...
An He's mind was in complete turmoil, while Zhao Liangxu's tone was light and cheerful. No one could guess what Zhao Liangxu was talking about without listening to the content.
Of course he had thought about it.
He's an extremely despicable person; how could he not have thought of that?
Since he had spent a long time in the palace, he inevitably learned a thing or two about those strange, hateful, and sordid things.
The filth of court secrets has multiple meanings.
People have always believed that eunuchs cannot do anything to women, but interestingly, when eunuchs and women are linked together, people will suddenly stop talking about it, and then a subtle, ambiguous expression will appear on their faces, as if it were contagious, appearing in very similar ways on the faces of everyone who talks about it.
It seems that eunuchs are completely unable to do anything to women, yet discussing this matter always greatly satisfies people's curiosity.
This is exactly the case in the palace.
If the eunuchs and palace maids were of similar status, it would be better, but if a powerful eunuch insisted on a palace maid becoming his "partner," that palace maid would always suffer.
The desire for power may have been satisfied, but some things can never be filled again by that blow in childhood.
Those desires only become a dirty, dilapidated void, something people desperately want to fill, even at any cost or by any means.
Some of the young palace maids were always covered in scars, or even limped. These injuries were not inflicted by their masters, but by a despicable eunuch. His twisted desires, which he could not express, became the scars on people's bodies.
The noisy, chaotic whispers and giggles among the eunuchs, their unreserved conversations about certain things, all gave Anhe the opportunity to learn about these matters.
He also wondered how the occasional screams at night relieved those people's boundless desires.
He never imagined that he would meet Zhao Liangxu.
I can also like someone.
As the thought that had been lurking in his mind arose, he deliberately covered the empty quilt by lifting a corner, and Anhe was already terrified.
It turns out he had become so twisted long ago. He had even thought about those things, about leaving his mark on Zhao Liangxu, even if it was through such means.
He was never a special person, and Anhe also possessed a flaw that was difficult to repair.
But he loved Zhao Liangxu so much.
How could he be so disgusting and filthy, having such despicable thoughts?
As soon as she thought about the things that flashed through her mind, Anhe felt like she was being torn apart by two extremes.
How could he commit such a despicable act of defilement against Zhao Liangxu?
Therefore, Anhe was even more terrified that Zhao Liangxu had so bluntly revealed what he was trying to avoid.
Anhe's palm was pressed tightly against Zhao Liangxu's lips, and he could even feel the slight movement of her lips.
He withdrew his hand and threatened in a low voice, "Don't say it."
He would always wake up at certain moments and then deliberately avoid Zhao Liangxu, just to prevent his thoughts from spreading to a point where he could no longer control them.
He was worried that he might hurt Zhao Liangxu, so he decided not to start the conversation.
Moreover, these things were done only to satisfy the desires of eunuchs, and in reality, they had only a minor effect, but they caused great harm to women.
He heard sobs and cries, clearly indicating that those involved were in great pain.
Why would he do something that would cause pain to both of them?

My darlings, I've been writing this for a while now that it's a paid chapter, so I'll be removing the 40% anti-piracy measures tomorrow. Those of you who started reading around chapter 60 shouldn't be affected.
