Chapter 50: The more you look at a beauty under the light, the more beautiful she becomes
After turning off the lights at night, Su Lingyu went to bed and soon fell into a deep sleep, but her sleep was not sound.
The moonlight is cold and the shadows are swaying.
In the terrifying dream, there were thick, indissoluble shadows everywhere, and the whole world seemed to be immersed in a huge pool of ink.
She was tied up and thrown to the ground. The ropes cut deep into her flesh, causing her to be unable to breathe. The ground was dirty and smelly, and rats jumped over her, but she couldn't even scream.
An unknown amount of time had passed before a young man whose face could not be seen squatted in front of her. He held a cold, sharp knife and slid it back and forth across her cheek.
She trembled with fear and tears welled up in her eyes.
The young man scratched her skin lightly with a knife, and blood immediately rolled out, causing her to break out in a cold sweat due to the pain.
She cried hard, but the man whose face could not be seen cut her body again and again, and no matter how much she cried and cursed, she would not stop...
"ah!"
Su Lingyu suddenly opened his eyes, breathing rapidly, and found himself in a cold sweat.
Unable to help but recall the horror in her dream, she reached out with a trembling hand to turn on the light, and the first thing she looked at was Huo Yan who was lying in the bed next to her.
Huo Yan stood up immediately: "What's wrong?"
Su Lingyu was just about to speak when she saw his disabled left leg out of the corner of her eye, and the light in her almond-shaped eyes suddenly dimmed.
Noticing her gaze, Huo Yan pursed his lips.
Su Lingyu turned her head towards the door and called out with a trembling voice to Wang Yu who was standing guard outside.
Wang Yu came in quickly: "Madam, you called me? What's the matter?"
Su Lingyu raised her hand to touch her chest and said with a lingering fear: "Come in and sleep with me."
"...What, what?" Wang Yu was so surprised that he almost jumped up.
He immediately looked at Huo Yan, whose face was as gloomy as water. He felt as if the sickle of death was already on his neck.
"I, I, I, I...Is this inappropriate?" Wang Yu stammered, almost crying.
Huo Yan looked at Su Lingyu with serious eyes, his breathing became tense, and the temperature around him seemed to drop by more than ten degrees in an instant, a real low pressure.
...The two people's reactions made it clear that something was wrong.
And it's not even a little bit crooked!
"What dirty things are you thinking about? Shut up, no, shut up, stop thinking!" Su Lingyu was so angry that her pretty face turned red, "Is it because you didn't use an umbrella on a rainy day, is there water in your brain?"
She patted the edge of the bed and said to Wang Yu, "Take the gun and stand guard by my bed. No matter what monsters come near me, you have to keep them safe!"
Huo Yan relaxed.
Wang Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
So that's what it means.
"Did you have a nightmare?" Huo Yan calmed down and asked in a slow voice, "What did you dream about?"
At the same time, he waved to Wang Yu, who immediately breathed a sigh of relief and hurried out.
And he closed the door considerately.
Su Lingyu had no intention of talking to Huo Yan, but she didn't stop Wang Yu from leaving either.
She was not a person without sense of propriety... She asked Wang Yu to come in and guard the bed, but she was terribly frightened and her brain was hot.
Now that I think about it, I feel bad.
It's impossible for just one person to be so close to her and keep watch over her at night? She is still very picky.
At this moment, Huo Yan suddenly got up and sat in the wheelchair.
Su Lingyu was shocked, her eyes widened: "What are you doing? You want to go out at this time? You don't even want to accompany me? Huo Yan, you bastard!"
"…I was woken up by you. I'll read a book for a while."
Huo Yan turned on the dim little lamp on the bedside, leaned over to turn off the overhead lamp she had just turned on, and picked up a book under the pillow and opened it.
"oh……"
"If you can't sleep, you can read a book for a while."
Su Lingyu didn't want to read at night because it would hurt her eyes. She was afraid and wanted to talk to someone, but she couldn't find the system to answer her questions. She didn't know why the system didn't respond.
So, she could only look at Huo Yan: "What are you looking at?"
"New Book of Historical Effects."
"What book is this?"
"A military book."
"Oh..." Su Lingyu asked again, "What other books do you have there?"
"Sun Tzu's Art of War."
"...Nothing else?"
"What do you want to read?" Huo Yan asked with a questioning look, as if he wanted to help find a book.
Su Lingyu thought for a moment and said, "Do you have any novels? The light is too dim and I don't want to hurt my eyes, but you can read it to me."
Huo Yan was startled: "What type?"
"For example, "The Overbearing Officer Falls in Love with Me"
"……no."
"The Great Villain Who Destroys the World Dotes on Me Every Night."
"No." Huo Yan's dark eyes were deep, and he suppressed the inexplicable emotions in his heart and asked, "But I want to know, when you said this book title, who was the villain you thought of?"
"…Who else could it be? Of course I'm thinking of you, haha. Forget about the fact that there is no villain literature, but there is also "I was reborn as a female cultivator of the Hehuan Sect, and I fought monsters and leveled up with all the handsome men in the world", isn't there any such thing?"
This is even more excessive!
Huo Yan took a deep breath and said, "No!"
"Tsk, you are really old-fashioned. You don't even read such a good book. You only know how to read books on military strategy and have no interest in love. I must have been blind to fall in love with you."
Huo Yan: “…”
He wanted to say that you were not interested, but in the end he said nothing.
Su Lingyu snorted softly and stopped.
The warm light on the bedside table and the silent man reading under the light gave her a lot of sense of security and dispelled her fear of nightmares.
She rested her head on her arms, covered her lips and yawned, and looked at Huo Yan's focused and serious expression with her tearful almond eyes, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
[He looks handsome, which is my type.]
[It's just too old-fashioned and too serious. ]
[But being serious and reserved is also good. It's very cute when he's shy. I really want to poke his waist and see how he reacts...]
Huo Yan's fingers paused as he turned the pages of the book.
Fortunately, Su Lingyu did not move, and he slowly relaxed.
At this moment, her voice rang in his ears, soft and gentle due to exhaustion, and as sweet as if she was acting coquettishly: "Huo Yan, come to bed and sleep with me, hold me."
"...Are you sure?" Huo Yan closed the book and looked at the person on the bed.
Su Lingyu didn't say anything, but moved back and made room for a not-so-spacious bed.
She wanted to sleep, but her eyelids kept drooping and she woke up again. This cycle repeated countless times and she could never sleep soundly.
I feel like a small fish being washed repeatedly by the waves, living and dying, back and forth.
She doesn't want to bear it anymore!
"Hurry up!" She closed her eyes and kept murmuring, "If you don't hurry up, I'll get angry."
Huo Yan closed his eyes deeply, his Adam's apple rolling, and he propped himself up to stand up from the wheelchair, then lay down on his side on the bed with the gentlest movements.
The next second, Su Lingyu swam into his arms like a little fish that could find its way automatically.
She rested her head on his arm, rubbed her cheek against his chest, pulled his collar with one hand, closed her eyes and arched her back in his arms, found a comfortable position and stopped making any more noise.
Huo Yan subconsciously held his breath and looked down. The little woman in his arms was sleeping peacefully.
The dim light fell on her face, outlining her beautiful eyebrows, straight nose, and moist red lips, every detail of which was exquisite.
Her black hair piled up like clouds on the sides of her face, making her porcelain-white skin look even more delicate and flawless.
Looking at a beauty under the lamp, the more you look, the more beautiful she becomes.
Without the arrogance of the day, she is now quiet and well-behaved, making people want to rub her hair, just like rubbing the furry head of a kitten.
After a while, Huo Yan closed his eyes in silence and moved his body towards the edge of the bed again, especially his lower body, for fear that he would be disrespectful to the person in his arms in the slightest.
In the silence of the night, the sound of your heartbeat is infinitely amplified, deafening.
After taking several deep breaths, he finally couldn't suppress his inner desire. He stroked the woman's dark hair with his big hands and lowered his head to place a kiss on her hair.
After he fell asleep with great difficulty, in a spatial dimension beyond his sight, a soft halo of light emanated from Su Lingyu's body, flickering on and off like a breath.
The next day.
Huo Yanling woke up on time at around five in the morning.
With the dim light coming through the window, he immediately looked at the person in his arms.
She was still as well-behaved as ever, but just stuck closer to him.
The pajamas straps slipped off her shoulders, revealing half of her round shoulders. He lowered his eyes and saw her delicate collarbone and the snow-white and soft skin on her chest. A snow-white, slender leg was draped over him, just below his waist and abdomen, as if she didn't trust him as a man.
Huo Yan took a deep breath and got out of bed.
When Su Lingyu woke up naturally from her sleep, she found herself sleeping alone in bed. Huo Yan, who used to sleep with her, had disappeared and was not in the room.
She was in a trance when the system that had been disconnected last night suddenly spoke, with a baby voice full of great excitement:
[Host, host, I've upgraded! 】
Hmm? Upgrade?
Su Lingyu reacted and asked curiously: [I called you last night but you didn't respond. Did you go to upgrade? ]
