Chapter 45 Really Eat
He held Nan Zhiyi in his arms, and the fear in her heart was dispelled by shyness and inexplicable trust.
She looked away, stubbornly muttering, "Who...who's afraid? I'm not afraid of anything!"
"It's good that you're not afraid." Gu Xiao chuckled softly, making her ears itch.
Gu Xiao leaned back against the headboard and patted the spot next to him.
Nan Zhiyi hesitated for a moment, then slowly moved closer. He wrapped his long arm around her and pulled her back into his embrace.
She rested her head on his arm, the worries of the past few days and the fright she had just experienced dissipated, and her eyelids gradually became heavy.
Gu Xiao's hand gently stroked her waist through the thin nightgown.
The caress started as a soothing touch, but gradually it took on a different meaning.
His fingertips would occasionally glide along the hollow of her waist or linger on her side, with a suggestive and teasing touch.
Nan Zhiyi was drowsy and completely unprepared for this. She only felt very comfortable being stroked by him, like a cat being stroked.
"Zhiyi," his voice penetrated her hazy consciousness, "did you really miss me these past three months?"
"Mmm... I think about Fifth Brother every day..." Her voice was soft and sweet, filled with sleepiness and dependence.
Gu Xiao's eyes were terrifyingly deep.
He took a deep breath and gently coaxed her, "I missed you too, give me a kiss, okay?"
Without waiting for her reply.
He then gently invaded her lips and teeth, making her dizzy and her eyes glazed over.
Gu Xiao was not satisfied. His gaze traveled down her lips and chin, leaving a mark on her delicate neck.
The wet kisses, with their biting force, sent shivers down her spine.
She tried to push him away in alarm, placing her hands on his chest, but dared not use force, afraid of touching the scar on his ribs.
Her voice was weak: "Fifth Brother...you...you're injured...wait...next time..."
"I can't wait any longer..." Gu Xiao pleaded breathlessly in her ear, "Zhiyi, have pity on me, if I wait any longer... I'm going to die..."
He made a request, but gave her no chance to refuse, sealing her lips with his.
His strong body pressed down on her, trapping her firmly beneath him.
"Good girl..."
"So soft..."
"So obedient"
...
These words filled her with shame and indignation, yet her body betrayed her will, and she gradually succumbed to his seduction.
He kissed away her tears, his voice gentler than ever before, his movements undeniably forceful: "Bear with it... Zhiyi... it'll be over soon..."
"My Zhiyi is the most obedient... One more time..."
As night deepened, she no longer had the strength to sob; she slumped into a pool of water, tears still clinging to the corners of her eyes, and fell into a deep sleep.
Gu Xiao reluctantly stopped, still wanting more.
He got up and used a warm, damp towel to clean the mess off her body.
Then gently change her into clean clothes.
As he held her and lay down again, Gu Xiao sighed contentedly.
Finally, it's his.
This sensation was so intense and intoxicating, it was a thousand times more wonderful than he had ever imagined.
The little princess he had coveted and protected for so many years, his precious flower, was finally plucked by his own hands, and marked with his Gu Xiao mark from the inside out.
The satisfaction this thought brought him trembled more deeply than any victory.
Nan Zhiyi slept soundly for a long time. When she woke up, the dull pain in her groin and lower abdomen reminded her of how she had been tossed and turned all night...
"woke up?"
She wasn't fully awake yet, staring blankly at Gu Xiao.
His face was close enough to see, but he was full of energy, his eyes were incredibly bright, and he showed no signs of fatigue.
He had finished washing up and was wearing a clean military shirt, with the top button neatly fastened, restoring his usual cold and aloof demeanor. However, the look in his eyes as he gazed at her was undisguisedly intense.
He leaned in, his lips about to touch hers.
Nan Zhiyi recalled the blushing scenes and embarrassing words that kept echoing in her ears last night, and subconsciously turned her head away to avoid them.
But Gu Xiao didn't give her a chance.
His large hand firmly supported the back of her head, and his tongue easily pried open her weak resistance, lingering and swirling between her lips and teeth until her breath became unsteady, before reluctantly letting go.
"Ugh...no..." Nan Zhiyi whimpered, both angry and annoyed, "It hurts...my whole body aches..."
"Spoiled brat".
Gu Xiao stopped bullying her.
He raised his hand, his fingertips tracing her slightly swollen lips, his voice softening further: "I know. I went to the medical team this morning."
He picked up a small white ointment with a red cross on it from the bedside table. "It's for reducing swelling and pain. Shall I put some on for you?"
"What?!" Nan Zhiyi exclaimed in embarrassment and indignation, "You...you went to the army doctor to get this?! Doesn't he only know about us..."
"Don't worry," Gu Xiao said calmly, "I told him it was a scrape from training. Old Zhang (the military doctor) didn't ask any further questions."
He twisted open the ointment and made a move to pull back the covers.
"No!" Nan Zhiyi gripped the blanket tightly. "I can do it myself! You...you get out!"
Seeing her face flushed with embarrassment, Gu Xiao knew that if he continued... this little darling would really get angry.
He suppressed the urge to personally "take care" of her, placed the ointment by the bedside, and relented, "Okay, you do it yourself. I'll go get food from the cafeteria."
He leaned down and kissed her flushed cheek. "Be gentle."
The door closed gently.
Nan Zhiyi peeked out from under the covers, picked up the ointment, and applied it to herself.
The cool ointment relieved the pain, but it also brought back vivid memories of the crazy details of the previous night.
She bit her lip, mentally cursing the unrestrained man repeatedly: Beast! Hungry wolf! Old man who's been holding back for twenty-eight years! Scoundrel!
Not long after, Gu Xiao returned with a lunchbox.
He walked to the bedside and his gaze fell on Nan Zhiyi.
She leaned against the headboard.
Her eyes were slightly red at the corners, and her lips were fuller and redder than usual.
She was like a flower, nourished by the night dew, lazily blooming in the morning light, exuding a breathtakingly charming beauty.
One button of her nightgown was undone, revealing fair skin marked with several dark red hickeys.
Gu Xiao's Adam's apple bobbed. He looked away, set out the food, and sat down on the edge of the bed.
"Have a meal."
He picked up the thick millet porridge, scooped up a spoonful, carefully blew on it to cool it, and brought it to her lips with a pleading tone.
Nan Zhiyi didn't have much of an appetite, but looking into his eyes, she forced herself to open her mouth and eat.
He patiently fed her, but his gaze kept lingering on the ambiguous marks on her face and neck. The dark fire surging in his eyes made Nan Zhiyi's heart tremble, and she could only lower her head and sip the porridge slowly.
In the afternoon, sunlight streamed through the gauze curtains, casting dappled shadows on the floor.
The house was quiet.
The only sound was the hum of the fan spinning.
Gu Xiao pulled out an old novel she had borrowed from the military club, Hao Ran's "Sunny Day".
He let Nan Zhiyi rest her head on his lap.
"Take a break, I'll read it to you."
Nan Zhiyi was a little shy, but Gu Xiao acted so naturally that she gently leaned against him.
Gu Xiao's voice was deep and mellow, and he read aloud with clear and accurate pronunciation.
