Chapter 101 Retaliation: After we get married, I'll be your garden, where you can grow flowers and plants.
The skin on my cheek was cool to the touch, soft and delicate. The moment my lips touched it, a strange electric current ran through my whole body.
Li Xin felt strangely happy, very happy.
A strange, pleasurable sensation assaulted his brain, almost sending shivers down his spine.
As if he had finally obtained something he had longed for, he clenched his fists tightly.
Li Xin lightly touched Su Jinmu's cheek with his lips and then pulled away, his heart pounding twice, excited and ferocious.
Is it the feeling of revenge that makes him so happy?
No, it's not. It seems... to be a pure, spiritual pleasure, an instinctive joy.
He was excited.
Every cell in my body is screaming wildly.
One more time.
One more time!
I want to kiss you!
Li Xin's Adam's apple bobbed slightly, and a heat rose within him, the same scalding sensation he felt in the bathtub earlier, engulfing his entire body.
Li Xin's eyes darkened. He had thought it was an accident last time, but now he could no longer hold that view.
...He always knew he was ruthless, but this was the first time he realized he was also a pervert, capable of having such thoughts about the person he intended to retaliate against.
Li Xin's thoughts raced, countless ideas flashing through his mind in the blink of an eye. He lowered his eyes and stared at the young master beneath him, who was wrapped up in the blanket.
Su Jinmu's eyes widened slightly, still reeling from the shock, as she stared at Li Xin with an absurd and ridiculous expression.
"What are you doing?!"
Are you crazy?
Su Jinmu tried to wipe her face, but couldn't reach out her hand.
Li Xin stared at the young master's beautiful eyes and long eyelashes, her heart pounding and a sense of joy rising within her.
So what if he's perverted?
He liked the way the young master looked at him, the way he was completely focused on him.
Li Xin's breathing quickened. Su Jinmu was shocked for two seconds and quickly struggled to get out of the blanket. The next moment, a forearm pressed heavily on his chest through the blanket.
"Hmm..."
Su Jinmu groaned with difficulty.
Li Xin pressed down with one arm, while his other hand gripped his neck, lifting his chin with his thumb and forefinger, and said casually, "Young Master, do you know why the Su family sent you here?"
Su Jinmu's eyes turned cold. "What do you want to say?"
"Haha." Li Xin chuckled, his tiger's mouth gripping his chin, slowly caressing and rubbing it, his eyes filled with a dark and crazed look. "The Su family sent you here so that I could take revenge and torment you, so that the Su family could stay out of it and avoid being implicated."
Su Jinmu twitched the corner of her mouth, trying to pull the hand off her chin, "So what if it is?"
He already knew all this.
Li Xin gripped Su Jinmu's chin with his tiger's mouth, lifting his face to reveal his slender, fair neck.
Li Xin reached out and touched it with his other hand, his fingertips brushing against the collarbone, his eyes dark and brooding. "My methods are far more ruthless than the Su family imagined, and far more ruthless than you imagined."
"...Ugh!"
The hand on her chin suddenly tightened and rose, pressing down on her bones and flesh. Su Jinmu groaned, her eyes narrowed instinctively, her long eyelashes trembled, and she sensed a dangerous aura. Her chest heaved faster.
Li Xin approached, his entire body pressing down on him, heavy and cold.
Su Jinmu gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with coldness, but the next moment, her eyes suddenly widened, and a gentle touch came closer.
Li Xin leaned her cheek against his and rubbed against his face, sending waves of tingling itch through her; the movement was almost gentle.
Su Jinmu froze abruptly, and Li Xin laughed, "I can choose not to retaliate against you."
Su Jinmu: "??"
Li Xin released his hand, his fingertips sliding down his neck, landing in the crook of his neck, his fingertips caressing him, "On the condition that you marry me."
Su Jinmu: "...????"
Su Jinmu's mind went blank for two seconds. Marriage? Has Li Xin gone mad?!
Su Jinmu's expression changed slightly, and she pursed her lips, "What tricks are you trying to pull?"
A new way to torture people?
Li Xin chuckled softly, touching his neck with her fingertips. "I'll give you two days to think it over."
“Of course, I won’t stop getting revenge on you these next two days.” Li Xin pinched his chin, his gaze dark. “When you’ve made up your mind, you’ll have peace and quiet.”
"Hmm..."
Su Jinmu tightened her grip on Li Xin's chin, staring at him with a bewildered expression, as if she were looking at some kind of lunatic or demon rather than a living person.
Difficult to understand.
Su Jinmu's expression was icy as she met Li Xin's gaze and smirked, "You're really interesting."
"I--"
As soon as Li Xin began to speak, Su Jinmu took advantage of his inattention, her wrist suddenly freed from the rolled-up blanket, and with a kick of her knee, she flipped the person on top of her over.
He turned around and straddled her, his fingers gripping the pillow and pressing it down on Li Xin's neck.
A deep groan sounded, and Su Jinmu pressed down hard, but he was not as familiar with this place as Li Xin was. Li Xin stretched out his arm, pulled something out from somewhere, and suddenly grabbed Su Jinmu's wrists and pulled him behind his back.
The next second, my wrist was pulled tighter than I could have imagined, as if it had been tied up with a rope.
Su Jinmu frowned and struggled, leaving red marks on her wrists, but to no avail.
Li Xin chuckled softly. He was lying down, and Su Jinmu was sitting on him with her arms twisted behind her back.
Li Xin grabbed his arm and pressed him forward. Su Jinmu was forced to lean forward as well, and the coldness in his eyes almost burst out.
“Now it’s my turn.” Li Xin smiled and touched his face.
Su Jinmu felt a chill run down her spine and fiercely dodged his hand, "Get away!"
Li Xin's lips twitched slightly, displeased with the coldness in his eyes. With a half-smile, like a ghost, he picked the man up, walked out of the master bedroom, and closed the door.
Su Jinmu had a rope on his wrist. Li Xin grabbed him with one hand, pulled open the quilt with the other, and hooked it directly at Su Jinmu's ankle, instantly knocking him down and pressing him down with the quilt.
Su Jinmu frowned deeply, staring at the madman's actions. The next second, Li Xin pulled the blanket over the two of them, wrapped his arm around Su Jinmu's waist, and closed his eyes to sleep.
Su Jinmu: "???"
Neuropathy?
Su Jinmu kicked him, her words cold, "Weren't you going to get revenge on me?"
"Isn't this a response?" Li Xin said slowly and deliberately.
Su Jinmu: "???"
How should we respond? Should we respond from the doorway?
He told him to sleep by the door, so why did Li Xin sleep in the same bed with him?!
Su Jinmu pursed her lips, frowned, and stared at Li Xin with a cold and fierce expression, wondering if he had really gone mad.
Even with his eyes closed, Li Xin could feel those two sharp gazes. His body was filled with excitement, his soul was trembling, and the corners of his mouth curved up. His eyes were not open, but the arms around his waist tightened.
"Young Master is no ordinary person. It's no use for me to hit or scold you. I won't get my revenge."
Su Jinmu: "..."
Li Xin opened his eyes, a smile playing on his dark pupils. "Since young master thinks sleeping by the door isn't retaliation, then—"
Su Jinmu frowned, feeling the rope around her wrist tighten, her upper body arched backward, unable to move, while a dark shadow loomed closer.
Li Xin pressed his other cheek against his and, just like before, gave him a light, gentle kiss.
After the kiss, she smiled contentedly, stepped back, and closed her eyes again.
Su Jinmu: "...?!"
A madman.
Li Xin fell asleep, but Su Jinmu couldn't break free of the ropes. She glared at Li Xin for most of the night, but finally couldn't hold on any longer in the latter half of the night and drifted off to sleep.
The weather was very cold in early winter. The corridor was only covered with mattresses, and there was no heating or air conditioning, so it was even colder.
In a daze, Su Jinmu instinctively burrowed into the blanket, burying most of her face in it, leaving only her delicate, tightly closed eyes visible.
He felt cold, but there was something even colder in the bed, constantly sucking away his warmth, so Su Jinmu practically shrank into the blankets.
The night was quiet when a slight noise came from nearby; something was approaching.
Su Jinmu suddenly woke up, closed her eyes and remained motionless.
There was a slight rustling or friction sound.
Nearby, Li Xin rubbed his palms together to warm them and then placed them on his neck.
After a while, rub it to warm it up again, and then gently place it on the back of his hand.
Su Jinmu was stunned.
...Li Xin, what are you doing?
.
When Su Jinmu woke up in the morning, he was the only one in the corridor, and his bed was warm.
Su Jinmu rubbed her forehead, feeling that the scene from last night might have been a dream.
With no one around, and not knowing where to wash up in the morning, he simply pushed open the door to the master bedroom and went in.
It actually opened with just a push.
Su Jinmu went to the bathroom to wash and tidy herself up before going downstairs.
Li Xin was sitting on the sofa reading documents, with a pot of warm water and an empty cup in front of him.
Two cups.
Su Jinmu's gaze fell in that direction, and Li Xin knew who it was without even raising his eyes. He smiled slightly and ordered, "Young Master, please pour me a glass of water."
Su Jinmu: "..." Heh.
Su Jinmu casually walked to the coffee table, poured a glass of warm water, stared at Li Xin and met his gaze, slowly raised her hand, and drank it herself.
"Bang."
The bottom of the cup fell back onto the table. Su Jinmu turned and walked out, not wanting to share a space with Li Xin.
"Tsk."
Su Jinmu ignored the slightly dismissive tone and continued walking out.
But suddenly it went dark.
With a click, the curtains automatically descended, the door latch popped out and locked, the room was sealed off, and the light gradually dimmed.
A sense of danger was palpable.
Su Jinmu's heart tightened, and a few damp, cold breaths brushed against her neck from behind.
“Young Master.” Li Xin pressed his lips against the back of his neck, his gaze tracing his features. “I used to be so obedient, but why don’t you listen to me now that it’s your turn, Young Master?”
His words carried a hint of regret, but his eyes were filled with desire and excitement.
"If you don't choose the simple response, then it can only become... other more interesting responses."
? !
Su Jinmu's heart tightened for a moment. He subconsciously lowered his head to avoid the impact and stepped back, but since his back was to him, his view was naturally limited.
A tight grip tightened around her waist, an arm wrapped around her and easily pulled her back to the sofa and coffee table.
"Hmm."
An arm was placed across Su Jinmu's waist, and Li Xin pressed his body against his back, forcing him to bend over and holding his hand to pick up the cup.
There was still about half a cup of water inside.
Su Jinmu held a cup in his palm, with Li Xin's hand on the back of his hand. He wanted to smash the cup on the ground, but Li Xin noticed his intention, gripped his hand tightly, and pulled him back.
Su Jinmu frowned. Li Xin took his hand in one hand, wrapped it around his neck and neck, and brought it to his own lips.
“Feed me,” Li Xin said.
Su Jinmu: "???!" Haha.
Su Jinmu almost laughed, and with a flick of her wrist, a little water spilled from the cup.
Li Xin clicked her tongue, then caught it again. She pressed his hand tightly against hers, brought it to her lips, and in this bizarre position, drank all the water from the quilt.
That was the cup Su Jinmu used.
Su Jinmu glanced at him out of the corner of her eye, and a sudden chill ran down her spine. Her fingertips tensed, and she pursed her lips tightly.
What exactly do you want?
If you're going to torture someone, then torture them; don't do this messy stuff.
"I'll get my revenge on you." Li Xin said calmly, putting one arm around his waist and nuzzling his ear. "Now go fill in the lake outside. You're not allowed in until it's filled in."
Su Jinmu: "??!"
Fill in the lake?!
Want to freeze him to death?
Su Jinmu's waist was still being tightened, and Li Xin's knees were pressing against his legs from behind, forcing him to walk out. This time, once they left the house, they went straight to the lakeside.
Some machinery and a few workers were already parked around the lake.
Upon seeing people, they immediately gave the signal to begin work, pumping water out of the lake.
Su Jinmu pursed his lips, not seeing anything he needed to fill out. "Isn't this something I need to fill out?"
“Hmm.” Li Xin smiled. “Keep an eye on the filling. Young Master, if you fill the lake by yourself, I’m afraid you’ll end up drowning.”
Su Jinmu: "..."
Su Jinmu looked at him strangely. "What, wouldn't it be better to put me in there? It would just satisfy your anger."
Why did you save him when you were clearly at odds with each other?
The temperature seems to have dropped; it's colder now.
No, it's Li Xin who's gotten cold, so cold it's almost chilling.
The body temperature of the person behind Su Jinmu was like an ice cube, chillingly drawing away her warmth.
"Those are really harsh words."
Li Xin's voice was low and slow, and Su Jinmu sneered, "What, are you reluctant to part with me? Hmm—"
Su Jinmu let out a painful groan as Li Xin ripped open his collar and bit him hard in the crook of his neck.
Su Jinmu frowned.
Li Xin's voice was very soft, "Yes, I can't bear to part with you."
Su Jinmu pursed her lips, you—
Before he could speak, Li Xin gently licked the pink tooth mark on his skin, his voice tinged with amusement, "Young Master, guess what will happen after this lake is filled in?"
Su Jinmu felt a strange unease and her heart skipped a beat. "What does this have to do with me?"
He couldn't be bothered to guess.
Li Xin's smile was gentle, slow, and unrestrained. "After we get married, I'll be your garden, where you can plant flowers and plants."
————————
Young Master: "???"
Young Master: "Who said they wanted to marry you?"
