Chapter 51 Love, Love, Love
Pei Yanzhi reached out and brushed the long hair that had fallen across her chest behind her ears, then down from her delicate earlobe to her plump earlobe.
They touched it intentionally or unintentionally, and even slowly pinched it with their thumb and forefinger.
Ji Shu trembled, trying to break free, but she couldn't move at all.
"Let me go, I told you I'm not feeling well..."
Seeing her pale face and furrowed brows, Pei Yanzhi didn't want to go too far, so he let go of her hand, but that was all.
He pulled her into his arms, and her warm, soft body was perfectly nestled within him.
The gloom of the past few days seemed to have vanished, as if all these years had been missing this little one in my arms. If only this little one were a little more obedient.
Ji Shu froze, too stiff to move. She could clearly feel something stirring beneath her; a man's desire could arise at any moment.
Pei Yanzhi watched as her eyelashes trembled rapidly, her hands awkwardly placed on her waist, her face full of fear and unease.
The thought that she was two years younger than the prince softened her heart. She was so much older than her, so she should be more accommodating to her.
The fate of the world is about to be in my hands. What waves can a mere woman stir up?
He gently patted her back and whispered in her ear, "You don't need to be afraid of me. I just noticed how thin you've become. I'm not a beast; why would I force myself on you when you're not feeling well?"
"Don't worry, I won't touch you tonight."
As Ji Shu listened to his deep, pleasant voice, her ears burned, and he actually put them in his mouth.
"Don't worry... I won't go all the way... let me..." A wet, indistinct voice came from beside my ear.
Ji Shu's stiff body gradually softened, her head felt hot, and her mouth was dry.
A large hand slipped inside the pinkish-white undergarment. The moment the calloused hand touched her, her body, freshly bathed, was incredibly smooth and fragrant.
Her legs, dangling over the table, were firmly held in place by his leg bones, leaving her only able to watch as his hands wreaked havoc inside.
Her belly was swollen high, and Ji Shu couldn't bear to look at it. She closed her eyes slightly and breathed softly.
Time passed slowly, and the only sounds in the room were the intertwining of lips and tongues, accompanied by the murmurs between the man and woman.
It took an unknown amount of time before things gradually returned to calm.
Ji Shu was originally facing him, but now she was facing away from him, her face flushed, breathing softly, and her clothes were disheveled.
Pei Yanzhi picked up a teacup from the side, poured a cup, and pinched the back of her neck. "Drink some water..."
A cool, hard object gently pressed against his lips, and a man's soft, low voice whispered in his ear.
Ji Shu leaned against his warm, strong embrace, her tongue already eagerly sticking out, taking small sips of tea from the cup, like a kitten drinking water.
Looking at her pitiful appearance, Pei Yanzhi's heart softened even more.
Seeing that she had finished drinking the water, he picked her up in his arms.
He shouted loudly towards the door, "Bring in the water!"
A short while later, Chunzhi came in carrying a basin and placed the copper basin on the shelf.
Pei Yanzhi: "I'll stay here. Go out."
Upon hearing this, Chunzhi could only steal a glance inside, sensing that the atmosphere was somewhat strange, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.
All that could be seen was a young woman sitting on the bed, with Yan Hou facing her, but for a moment he couldn't see what was happening inside.
Pei Yanzhi soaked the handkerchief in hot water and stepped forward to carefully wipe her hands. Ji Shu turned her face away uncomfortably.
"Alright, I'm going to wash up now." With that, Pei Yanzhi went to the side room.
Ji Shu looked at her hands and still felt a sticky sensation. Although she hadn't finished, she had done everything she needed to.
Disgusted, I took it away and scrubbed myself hard with the water from the basin, which made me feel a little better.
Hearing the pattering sound coming from the side room, he realized that the water inside hadn't been changed; the water he was using now was the one he had used to wash with before.
This person is really... shameless.
Hearing rustling sounds coming from the side room, Ji Shu quickly lay down on her side on the bed and listened intently to what was happening inside.
Hearing the steady footsteps approaching, and sensing that he seemed to have paused inside the room for a long time before finally stepping forward, Ji Shu's heart pounded, and she closed her eyes.
Pei Yanzhi moved the candle from the bedside table aside, then finally lifted the covers and got into bed.
I felt a cool, moist vapor emanating from him, and then, nothing more.
Ji Shu was startled. She heard steady breathing behind her; he was clearly asleep.
The impact of tonight was quite significant; Ji Shu still feels a pain and swelling in her chest.
I couldn't touch that area; it must have been scraped up like last time. I don't know how long I kept having these random thoughts.
All was quiet outside the window, and the night was cool as water. I finally drifted off to sleep in the middle of the night.
In her dream, she saw a sea of fire that made her feel extremely hot, and she even broke out in a fine sweat.
Just when she was feeling unbearably hot, she suddenly woke up.
It was already broad daylight when the noisy sounds from downstairs reached her. Ji Shu propped herself up on her arms and sat up.
Looking at the spot beside me, I touched it; it was ice-cold, meaning the person had long since left.
If I hadn't seen him in bed with my own eyes, I would have thought it was all a dream last night.
She stepped down, wearing soft-soled embroidered shoes. Chunzhi came in from outside the door and said, "Young lady, you're awake!"
"Are you hungry? I'll go downstairs and bring you breakfast now."
Ji Shu hummed in agreement. Chunzhi went downstairs to give instructions and then went back upstairs to help Ji Shu with her makeup.
The hand holding the comb paused, "Lady, your neck..." The implication was clear.
Ji Shuwei opened her inner garment slightly, and the marks inside were shocking, no less than the first time, covered with bite marks and teeth marks.
Especially the area on his chest, which is covered in bruises and hurts when touched.
Chunzhi was heartbroken and tears streamed down her face. "Lord Junhou went too far. Doesn't he know that the young lady is delicate? How could he be so cruel..."
Ji Shu looked at herself in the mirror and felt completely unfamiliar. Her eyes in the mirror held the colors of autumn begonias and a pool of spring water.
Is this me?
"Let's eat," Ji Shu interrupted Chunzhi. Chunzhi looked at the young woman's expression and dared not say anything more.
He said yes.
After finishing her breakfast, Ji Shu lifted her skirt and went downstairs.
After that day, no one in the army dared to neglect Ji Shu and her servant.
This will not be discussed further.
Military camp tents.
Gongsun Li presented the letter, saying, "My lord, this is a letter from Song Zhaonian."
Pei Yanzhi raised an eyebrow, opened the package, glanced at it casually, and handed it to Gongsun Li.
“We’re about to pass through Connecticut, and he got the news quickly.”
Gongsun Li looked closely and then noticed that her lord was clearly in a good mood today. She also recalled the idle chatter that the cavalrymen had been having together in the camp earlier that day.
Stroking his beard, he said, "On the surface, he says he's inviting the lord, but his real intentions are probably not what they seem. The assassination attempt he sent some time ago, the rumors he spread..."
Lu Changming said, "My lord, we didn't bring many men with us this time. The main army was taken away by the prince five days ago. If he joins forces with others now, wouldn't we be falling into a trap?"
Faced with any benefit, the life of the lord is of paramount importance. To Yanzhou, Pei Yanzhi is like a god.
