Chapter 96 Undisturbed, I sank into the mattress, like sinking into the waves of fate...
The night was as dark as ink.
Lu Jin turned the car onto a deserted side road with sparse streetlights.
Aimless.
They were like a train that had derailed, not knowing where they were going, only knowing that they couldn't turn back.
Sang Li leaned back in her seat, rubbed her slightly warm lips from the kiss, and gazed wistfully out the window.
She didn't know what to say or do.
The air was heavy.
It seems like nothing is appropriate.
The cold wind was howling outside, but Sang Li didn't feel very cold.
Lu Jin turned on the seat heater for her, and her bottom felt warm.
quite a while.
Sang Li: "What are you thinking?"
Lu Jin: "It's hard to say."
He truly didn't know how to express himself. His thoughts were too complex, his mind a jumbled mess, impossible to sort out. He even knew more than Sang Li—his own identity, Sang Li's identity, their respective positions. It seemed that between them, no, between them and the entire world, were countless transparent panes of glass. They appeared to be within reach, but in reality, they were two separate worlds.
BEAM is affiliated with the federal government and is also affiliated with the international BEAM organization.
Do other people know this?
Or was it just the work of BEAM's top management? Using their power to do these outrageous things?
Lu Jin couldn't understand why he had been so devoted to BEAM for so many years.
But they were kept in the dark.
Lu Jin glanced back at Sang Li.
Sang Li: "Go ahead and smoke."
Although it's generally considered unethical to smoke in an enclosed space while with a woman, Sang Li didn't care about such things because she needed a scent to help her relax.
Nicotine is good.
Lu Jin hesitated for a moment.
Click.
Light the cigarette with a lighter.
The orange-red flame is like a fleeting firework in the darkness.
He rested one arm on the car window, and cigarette ash drifted backward through the window.
Lu Jin's gaze was distant. He drove slowly and stopped at the intersection.
There was no one around.
Sang Li stared at him.
Lu Jin: "Does it smell strong?"
Sang Li: "I don't know, but I should buy you a lychee flavored one."
Lu Jin smiled.
*Smack*
Sang Li unbuckled her seatbelt and, taking advantage of the moment the car stopped, suddenly grabbed Lu Jin's neck.
Lu Jin frowned, preparing to exhale the smoke from his lips, but was suddenly startled by Sang Li and swallowed it.
It choked me and gave me a headache.
"Give me a bite." Sang Li's eyes burned with longing.
Lu Jin didn't say anything about the bad things about smoking.
He handed her the cigarette holder: "Want to try? Never smoked one before?"
“I tried it when I was in college,” Sang Li said. “It was apple flavored.”
"Given by a boy?" Lu Jinwei asked.
Sang Li took a breath; it was bitter and didn't relieve her fatigue as she had imagined. Besides, she didn't inhale deeply: "Yes."
"Which boy? I don't know him."
“Too many people are chasing after me.” Sang Li laughed frankly. “Even if I don’t have any special abilities, I’m still very good-looking, aren’t I? I’ve got you all completely captivated.”
Lu Jin's gaze slid down her lips and teeth inch by inch, down to her collarbone, chest, and waist.
yes.
He had to admit it.
Even standing there, Sang Li is a unique sight.
Her unusual abilities masked the fact that she was originally perfect.
Lu Jin snorted: "You are quite alluring."
“You’re wrong, it’s your lack of self-control that’s the problem,” Sang Li laughed.
This was the first time Lu Jin had spoken like this; it was like fire, making her feel hot and bothered.
She needs to put out the fire.
Find a place where no one is around.
She sat in the passenger seat: "Are you in good physical condition?"
Lu Jin raised an eyebrow: "You want to try?"
Talking to Sang Li made me feel much more relaxed.
At least, I don't want to think about anything anymore.
She always had a strange ability to soothe nerves.
Sang Li nodded: "I'd like to give it a try."
Lu Jin: ?
Lu Jin: "Then..."
Sang Li: "Let's drive to the beach at night. How long will it take?"
Lu Jin suddenly realized that this was what he was referring to.
It's alright.
Sang Li tilted her head: "So, are you in good physical condition? If not, young man, ask me to buy you some deer blood and deer penis or something. You'll definitely like it. After drinking it, even an eighty-year-old man can party every night."
"Why not? Let's go."
Sang Li was smiling; her eyes were bright and beautiful.
Youth, you know.
This is youth.
Lu Jin glanced to the side and said in a low voice, "Let's set off now. It'll be three hours. If you're sleepy, you can take a nap."
“It will be very tiring,” he added, his voice low and steady.
Sang Li chuckled, her eyes shining like stars: "Aren't you going to ask why I want to go to the beach? Aren't you curious?"
Lu Jin's Adam's apple bobbed.
Sang Li is now almost too beautiful.
Lu Jin felt he didn't need the answer, but he really wanted to know.
Sang Li spoke, her voice rising at the end: "I want to kiss you on the beach."
Lu Jin's fingers paused for a moment, and he seemed to freeze for a brief moment.
He did not respond immediately, his brows furrowing slightly.
Sang Li urged, "Let's go, before everything starts! Charge! Let's go for a race!"
Take advantage of the fact that there are no major storms yet.
Take advantage of the fact that the management bureau hasn't discovered everything yet.
Let's take advantage of this, since it's just the two of us.
Let's go!
Let's go!
I started the car, the wheels returned to the asphalt road, and headed straight for the highway leading to the coast.
Outside the window was an endless expanse of darkness, yet they seemed to be heading towards the light.
They were just two souls who found each other in the darkness, temporarily escaping a blank space in a story that seemed to have a pre-written beginning and ending.
Sang Li leaned back in the passenger seat, admiring the mesmerizing night view.
"Well, I'm an anomaly who was injected with experiments from a young age. It started with the spinal fluid of the Day Witch, then it was for 'attraction' experiments. I was on the verge of death, but I survived. I met Chi Du, and maybe even other anomalies, before being released back into human society. Your Bureau is pretty impressive," Sang Li exclaimed.
There was no mockery involved.
It's pure, simple description.
Lu Jin didn't know what to say or what he should say.
Sang Li: "I must have discovered something and was hunted down. Because of my abnormal abilities, I can't really call it 'being loved,' because it wasn't love at all."
Lu Jin said firmly, "It's love. At least, I love you."
Sang Li laughed: "That's why I wanted to kiss you on the beach. I want a yacht. I want to go out to sea."
Lu Jin: "Do you think I'm a wishing well?"
Sang Li nodded: "You are, of course you are."
Lu Jin: "I'll make the arrangements."
Sang Li: "That way, no one can disturb us."
Lu Jin gripped the steering wheel, but his gaze darkened.
At four in the morning, the sky was still dark, and the eastern sea was only slightly white.
They arrived at the seaside.
It's a secluded private dock, but it's very well decorated in an old-money style.
Gravel and wind swept across the pier, the sea was as black as silk, rolling with restless waves.
The key is in the driver's seat.
It was arranged by Lu Jin's friend.
"Can you drive?" Sang Li asked him, half-teasingly.
Lu Jin looked down at the control panel, his fingertips flying across the gauges.
"Yes," he said.
He actually does.
Sang Li thought it looked great.
He turned on the main power supply with the ease as if he had practiced it countless times.
The pointer jumped, the lights lit up one by one, and the sound of waves gently lapped against the hull.
But his finger paused for a moment before pressing the start button.
"Shall we leave now?"
"Of course, I prefer the night before dawn."
The yacht departed from the dock, cutting through the waves and sailing into the vast ocean.
On the eastern horizon, the rising sun had just peeked out with its golden-red edge, and a ray of dawn rose from the sea, bathing the entire deck in a layer of radiance.
The ocean needs no direction.
They just need to get further and further away.
He stood behind her, quietly watching the horizon ahead.
The wind was cold, but finally, no one interfered between them.
The temperature was low in late autumn, and a layer of damp fog covered the windows.
The yacht was anchored on the sea surface, swaying gently.
The cabin was air-conditioned, and Sang Li lay on the soft bed, wearing only a short-sleeved shirt underneath.
The underwear was uncomfortable and was left next to the pillow.
Just like at home.
Lu Jin walked out of the cabin and stood on the deck.
The sky was already beginning to lighten.
The rising sun, like a golden button soaked in seawater, slowly peeked out from the horizon.
He leaned against the railing and lit a cigarette.
The sea breeze, carrying a damp, salty scent, blew the smoke into the distance.
Clones, missions, management bureau, Sangli...
He didn't know what he could still believe in.
All I can do is try my best to empty my mind.
Suddenly, I heard soft footsteps.
Sang Li walked over, draped in a thin blanket, her hair slightly disheveled, her eyes clear and bright.
She didn't say anything, but walked behind him and wrapped her arms around him from behind: "What are you thinking about?"
Lu Jin looked down and saw her hand sliding towards his abdomen.
Her fingertips were burning hot, and as if intentionally or unintentionally, she slowly traced the lines of his muscles through his clothes.
Lu Jin's cigarette twitched slightly, and he squinted, "What are you doing?"
Sang Li leaned forward, pressed her face against his back, and said in a languid and ambiguous tone, "You."
Her hands became increasingly restless: "No one can find us, can they?"
Lu Jin exhaled a puff of smoke, flicked his wrist, pressed the cigarette butt against the railing, and flicked it into the sea.
He turned around, grabbed her wrist, and pinned her against the deck railing behind him.
"Don't do anything reckless," he said in a low, hoarse voice.
Sang Li looked up at him, her eyes glistening with tears, and stubbornly raised her chin: "You're too late. Once you're on the pirate ship, there's no escaping it."
Lu Jin chuckled: "Who got on the pirate ship, anyway?"
"You."
The sea breeze lifted Sang Li's hair and brushed against Lu Jin's face.
Her presence was felt in every breath, carrying the saltiness of the sea and the morning light.
She didn't back down at all, letting him be trapped in her gaze.
Lu Jin lowered his head, a vein bulging on his forehead, as if he was trying his best to restrain something.
Lu Jin's breathing was already disordered.
But he was still suppressing himself, like suppressing a raging wild beast.
Sang Li tilted her head, her tone as soft as a feather, yet with an aggressive allure, gently caressing his nerves: "I hate the Bureau, but I don't hate you."
She reached out and hooked her hand around the collar of his coat, slowly closing the distance between them, a glimmer in her eyes: "No one can bother us, at least not now."
"So, Lu Jin."
"Then, shouldn't we do something?"
The moment the words fell, Lu Jin's eyes trembled violently.
He looked at her, his dark eyes so deep they seemed capable of swallowing her whole.
Lu Jin's fingers twitched, but he remained pressed down on himself, neither kissing nor touching her. Instead, he suddenly asked, "What if I weren't human?"
His voice was low and hoarse, like rusty iron that had been blown by the wind.
Will you still like me?
A brief silence fell on the deck, broken only by the rhythmic sound of waves crashing against the ship's hull, like a heartbeat.
Sang Li looked up at him, blinked, and a smile appeared on her lips.
She didn't answer immediately, but slowly tiptoed closer and whispered in his ear, "I don't care who you are. Aren't you making my heart beat faster right now?"
Lu Jin's muscles were taut.
Sang Li laughed: "What's wrong? You haven't discovered you're not human yet, have you? You should be secretly happy that you and I are no longer reproductively isolated. Oh right, you haven't discovered that some of your organs that need to be used look different, have you? Because you've never had a girlfriend and have no sexual experience, you have no idea you're abnormal... Did you just discover it after looking at the petri dish?"
"..."
Lu Jin retorted, "I didn't."
Sang Li: "You have two?"
Lu Jin: "No."
Sang Li: "So, there should be two places, but only one?"
Lu Jin, unable to contain himself any longer, exclaimed: "No!"
Sang Li spread her hands: "Then, my dear Lu Jin, would you like to kiss me? I feel like I can handle a lot."
The scenery was beautiful, and the weather was perfect.
She really likes daytime.
It's clear.
It can be seen clearly.
There is no need for a hazy night.
Daytime is reality.
"You won't regret it?" Lu Jin asked one last time before making his decision.
"Regret what?"
“With me.”
"I don't regret it at all. But for you, was there anything unusual about your first time?"
"..."
What a load of rubbish!
Lu Jin smiled.
The gloom seemed to have vanished.
Lu Jin didn't ask anything more, but simply bent down and picked up Sang Li with one hand.
She didn't struggle; instead, she wrapped her arms around his neck, her eyes softening.
Sang Li's fingertips brushed past Lu Jin's hair and landed on the pulse on the side of his neck, where the beating was abnormally fast, as if it would explode at any moment.
She leaned close to his ear and whispered, "No one will bother us."
Lu Jin lowered his head, his forehead pressed against hers, his breath hot against hers.
“Sang Li…” he seemed to be resisting.
The next second, their lips touched.
He carried her from the deck all the way down to the cabin.
The kisses were like a wildfire, unstoppable.
They collided into each other's breath, their entanglement surging like a tidal wave, swallowing reason without warning.
Sang Li's back slammed against the cold hatch with a dull thud. He braced himself against the wall, trapping her between himself and the wall, his knuckles tense with restraint, even his breath carrying a scorching pressure.
She was overwhelmed and could hardly breathe, yet the laughter that was muffled in her throat still rose and fell like the tide.
"Hello!"
“No one will hear us.” Lu Jin whispered in her ear, his voice hoarse and deep, like boiling water. “Right now, it’s just you and me here, no one will hear anything we make.”
That's why I chose a yacht.
I stumbled into the cabin, the world before my eyes swaying violently.
The sound of the wind was shut out; the world consisted only of each other's breath.
Clothes receded like the tide, layer upon layer, until skin was close to skin, heartbeats mingled, emotions were amplified to the extreme, like flames burning, like the deep sea swallowing.
Lu Jin felt as if he were in a dream, or as if he had finally woken up.
He had suppressed his feelings for too long, and he had longed for it for too long.
It was an indescribable release.
Sang Li looked at him, her eyes revealing nothing.
She accepted him, along with his anxieties, struggles, and uncertainties.
Sinking into the mattress is like sinking into the tide of fate.
No one spoke; they only responded to each other.
This felt like a very beautiful dream.
Sang Li then realized that Lu Jin's physical strength was indeed the best in the Administration Bureau. She wondered if the bed on the yacht would collapse and whether she would have to pay for compensation.
“Take it easy, your friend will make you pay,” Sang Li said, clutching the bed sheet. “Don’t act like you’ve never eaten meat before.”
Lu Jin kissed the back of her neck: "You haven't eaten yet, and you're still thinking about these things. Is it because I haven't tried hard enough?"
"You have already..."
No, I didn't.
Lu Jin's chest pressed against her back: "I'm fine, but if you're worried the bed will collapse, perhaps..."
In an instant, she was picked up.
You can see the vast and magnificent sea outside.
A blurry face was reflected in the glass.
The moment the touch was made, Sang Li trembled violently, a wave of shyness surging from the bottom of her heart, spreading red down her spine to the tips of her ears.
She could hardly bear to look at the reflection on the glass.
"That's going too far," she murmured, reaching out to cover herself, but Lu Jin grabbed her wrist.
"Why don't you look?" His voice was low and hoarse, with a suppressed burning passion. "I want you to look, to see clearly who you are now."
Before he could finish speaking, he leaned close to her ear, his breath hot against hers, his chest pressing tightly against her back, as if trying to meld them together completely.
Her eyes were burning, and her voice was trembling, but she gritted her teeth and retorted, "I'll report you if you're not careful."
“Yes,” he murmured in agreement, but his tone showed no remorse. “I know.”
Sang Li closed her eyes, her eyelashes trembling slightly.
No one is disturbing you.
