Chapter 53 Tide Tide Tide
Ji Shu gazed listlessly out the window. Following this itinerary, she would arrive in Yanzhou in less than half a month. She wondered what awaited her there.
Thinking of Pei Xingjian and Wei Heng, and now she is entangled with Pei Yanzhi again.
For a moment, his expression seemed to be both irritable and extremely annoyed, a complex and difficult-to-describe mix.
Ji Shu let out a long, soft sigh. Pei Yanzhi calmly withdrew his gaze, just as she turned around and met his deep, dark eyes.
It was the perfect time of year, just between spring and summer, and the weather was just right. He suddenly pulled Ji Shu onto his lap and let her head rest against his chest.
His hand gently stroked downwards until it reached her waist. With a slight pressure, he pressed her slender waist against his lower abdomen, his warm breath filling her ear: "What are you looking at?"
His hot breath was behind her. Ever since he moved in, the already cramped carriage had become even more confined. Chunzhi no longer dared to step into the carriage casually.
Each time, I would gently knock on the window and only dare to come in after receiving permission.
Feeling his increasingly approaching presence, Ji Shu felt a sense of unease and fear. If he treated her with the same indifference as before, she would feel much more at ease.
This was originally a mutually beneficial transaction; she gave herself, and he gave her power.
Now, she doesn't quite understand him anymore.
Seeing that she remained silent for a long time, Pei Yanzhi turned her head, forcing her to look at him, his eyes fixed on her: "What's wrong? Why aren't you saying anything?"
Ji Shu stared blankly at the man in front of her. He was no longer young, and his brows were lined with shallow wrinkles from years of habitual frowning.
Even now, her expression remains serious; she is someone who can intimidate others with just a few glances.
At this moment, she was coaxing him with a slightly awkward manner. Pei Yanzhi looked at her hesitantly and sized her up. His Adam's apple bobbed, and his large hand suddenly gripped her neck, as if he had seized the neck of his prey.
His voice was already hoarse as he spoke: "Why are you so delicate, hmm?"
After saying that, he stared at her small face, pinched her chin, and lowered his head to kiss her. His hot breath hit her face. Knowing that he wouldn't do anything, Ji Shu involuntarily closed her eyes.
She always greets Xingjian with a smile, but she always avoids him like the plague.
Never mind, the person is already by my side.
The intense atmosphere inside the car grew stronger and stronger. Ji Shu's thin, open collar revealed half of her underwear.
Ji Shu hurriedly pressed down on his hand inside his clothes, her voice choked with sobs as she pleaded, "No, we're in the carriage..."
If others knew what they were doing in the car, as a nobleman, no one would dare to criticize him.
But for the woman, the thought of becoming the subject of gossip filled her with such shame and indignation that she almost wanted to die on the spot.
Pei Yanzhi leaned close to her ear, his hot breath brushing against her: "Then keep your voice down, so no one notices..."
After saying that, he stopped her from saying anything more, ignoring all resistance.
"My lord, I beg you." A tear slowly rolled down her cheek.
He swallowed all the fragmented sounds, and with a forceful push of his shoulder, he turned her around to face him.
Ji Shu bit her lip tightly, not daring to forget that she was still in the carriage, and there were people all around her.
Her clothes were disheveled. His gaze met that of the beautiful woman, who bent her knees to try and avoid him.
But how could her bound body escape? She gripped the soft couch tightly with both hands, her hair bun swaying precariously, making a crisp sound of gold and silver.
Hairpins and ornaments fell to the ground, scattering everywhere. Her long, black hair cascaded down like a waterfall.
Pei Yanzhi felt as if his body was about to explode, flames traveled along the blood flow throughout his body, the cherry blossom pink belt was torn off, and his bellyband was also ripped open.
He casually stroked her long black hair, leaned close to Ji Shu's ear and whispered something, only to see Ji Shu suddenly raise her hand and cover his mouth.
She was about to speak when he kissed her fiercely, and she couldn't utter another word.
If someone were to lift the curtain and look inside from the outside, they would only see Ji Shu fully dressed, nestled in his arms, as if she were sleeping peacefully.
From the outside, there was nothing unusual about it.
About an hour later, Pei Yanzhi placed the unconscious Ji Shu on the soft couch.
Pei Yanzhi kissed away the tear stains on her face. Seeing that she had fallen asleep with her brows still slightly furrowed, he took a handkerchief from the side and gently wiped her face.
Ji Shu's eyes were swollen and her throat was dry; this battle had exhausted all her strength.
He forced his eyes open, but seeing this, he couldn't do anything else. He curled up, closed his eyes, and went back to sleep.
Pei Yanzhi looked at her obedient sleeping face and chuckled softly. Perhaps it was because her body had been satisfied for so long that she was able to get out of the carriage with a relaxed and carefree demeanor, still carrying some lingering desire.
As soon as he came out, Chunzhi, who was waiting outside, was about to go in to serve him. Pei Yanzhi knew that Ji Shu was shy, so he instructed her, "Your wife is already asleep. Be gentle and wake her up. Ask her if she needs any water!"
Chunzhi was taken aback. Why would the young lady fall asleep at this time? She glanced at the time outside. It wasn't lunch break time, and it was still early. But she still did as she was told and quietly went inside, holding onto the edge of the carriage.
The carriage was in complete disarray; it was obvious what had happened.
Even in her sleep, the girl still had traces of water, not to mention the marks on her neck. Chunzhi's face flushed, and she dared not look closely. She quickly tidied herself up before leaving.
As night was about to fall, the army arrived at Yongping County in Connecticut.
The large group of people entered Connecticut in a very open and aboveboard manner.
Ji Shu murmured to herself, and seeing the dim candlelight in the carriage, she knew it was already evening. She forced herself to sit up.
I noticed something was wrong as soon as I got up. Although I felt a little uncomfortable, I felt refreshed and didn't feel as bad as I did at the Hibiscus Pavilion.
She frowned and asked in a hoarse voice, "Where are we?"
Chunzhi hurriedly replied, "Young lady, we have arrived in Kangzhou. Lord Jun and our group will stay at the inn, and the other soldiers will be arranged by General Mei."
Seeing that the young lady's hair was slightly disheveled, he was about to step forward to help her with her hair and makeup, but Ji Shu raised her hand to indicate that she didn't need to.
"Bring me the veil. I feel even worse after sleeping. I need to prepare for a bath."
Chunzhi noticed a hint of sweat on the young woman's neck and said yes. Ji Shu was arranged to stay in the best room on the top floor, Jiazi Room.
After leaving the washroom, Chunzhi stood behind Ji Shu, twisting her hair with a cotton handkerchief. Ji Shu thought about that afternoon's affair. She wondered what would happen in the end…
I was already nervous at the time and had no time to think about these things.
