Don’t you think it’s exciting?
Gu Tinglan chuckled: "Not only do I praise you, my mother likes you very much too."
"Your succubus friend should like you very much too."
Xixi paused, a little surprised: "I feel like you've changed. You told me to get out before."
"Are you going to bring up old things now?" Gu Tinglan raised his eyebrows and pulled her out.
"No," Xixi shook her head and said without reason, "I want to eat the food you cook."
"Okay," Gu Tinglan suddenly tilted his head, his eyes a little frivolous, a wicked smile on the corner of his mouth, and said lightly, "What reward do I get?"
I don’t know if it was an illusion, but Xixi always felt that he deliberately emphasized the word “reward”.
Memories of last night suddenly surfaced in her mind. The reward inexplicably reminded her of compensation. Xixi suppressed the throbbing in her heart and said, "Yes, but it's up to me."
"Okay~" The ending tone was drawn out and lazy, giving people the feeling that they were being teased by him.
Gu Tinglan looked at her pretending to be calm and her red ears, and his heart was moved. He subconsciously reached out to touch her forehead, but Xixi dodged it nimbly.
Xixi dodged his evil hand in two or three steps, rushed to the sofa, turned on the TV, and urged him, "Go quickly, I want to eat braised pork."
Gu Tinglan chuckled, said nothing, and turned into the kitchen.
He was very efficient, and soon there were slight noises coming from the kitchen, and the faint aroma of food wafted in. Sissy turned off the TV, walked barefoot on the carpeted floor, and followed the sound.
Gu Tinglan stood in front of the stove with his back to her, his shoulders neatly defined by his white T-shirt. He was stirring food in a small pot with chopsticks when he heard footsteps and said without turning back, "Want to cook it yourself?"
"No." Xixi walked over to him and looked into the pot curiously. "I just came to observe how you make it."
"Haven't you already learned it?" Gu Tinglan glanced at her sideways, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, "You still need to learn?"
"Do you really think I'm a child?" Xixi stood aside, deliberately sticking to Gu Tinglan's arm, "How can I not know whether what I made is delicious or not?"
"Don't think I can deceive myself by just praising me a few times. You know I'm picky about food. I almost vomited after secretly taking a bite the other day."
"It seems you have some self-awareness." Gu Tinglan teased her, picked up the braised pork from the pot and fed it to her mouth.
"Oh," Xixi said distressedly after eating it smoothly, "I won't learn it again. It's better to eat what's ready."
Xixi noticed that the dishes were already laid out on the counter, with a cup of steaming milk beside it. She suddenly felt a warmth in her chest, as if something soft was expanding there.
"Aren't you going to school today?" she asked vaguely while eating meat.
Gu Tinglan's voice was close at hand, and his tone was very relaxed: "I've already taken leave for the second semester of my senior year, so I can go after the college entrance examination."
Xixi swallowed the meat in her mouth, leaned forward in surprise, and looked him up from below. "Everyone take leave? Why?"
Gu Tinglan walked out with the bowl in hand, followed closely by Xixi. He gently placed the food on the table. The sunlight filtered through the window, hitting his eyelashes and casting a small shadow under his eyes.
"Because you need me more by your side." He said it lightly, as if it was the most natural thing in the world.
"Huh?" Xixi was a little confused, "Didn't Lin Mo have been dealt with?" She sat casually at the dining table and picked up the dishes and chopsticks.
"Besides, if he didn't have your family's magic weapon in his hand, I wouldn't have been caught by him so easily."
"That's why I can't leave your side." Gu Tinglan spoke softly, with a smile in his eyes, his gaze fixed on her. "You will always be my first choice."
"You..." She suddenly put down her chopsticks, not knowing what to say. In the end, she could only utter, "Are you too clingy?"
"...Don't eat anymore." Gu Tinglan was about to move the dish in front of him, but Xixi held his hand down, "Don't take it to heart."
Her voice trembled and her eyes were a little wet. "I just think it's better for you to talk like this, otherwise I feel uncomfortable."
"Oh, you still feel awkward?" Gu Tinglan held her hand with his backhand and smiled brightly, "You've said much more excessive things than this before, so how come you don't feel awkward?"
Sissy couldn't answer, so she pulled her hand back, buried her head in her food, and vaguely changed the subject, "Will this affect your college entrance exam?"
As far as she knows, university is quite important to human beings.
Gu Tinglan sat down opposite her and tucked her scattered hair behind her ears. "No. My grades are good enough."
Xixi lowered her head and took a sip of soup. The hot liquid slid down her throat and warmed her entire chest. She secretly raised her eyes to look at Gu Tinglan and found that he was looking at her. His eyes were so gentle that she felt as if her heart was beating faster.
"Tonight..." Xixi bit the tip of her chopsticks, her voice becoming increasingly quiet, "I want to sleep with you."
Gu Tinglan tapped his fingers lightly on the table. His expression remained unchanged, but the tips of his ears were slightly red. He pretended to be calm and teased her, "Okay, you won't run away this time, right?"
"Who escaped?" Xixi looked up. After meeting those teasing eyes, her majestic aura suddenly weakened. "If we're talking about escaping, who knows who'll be the first to escape tonight?"
"Really?" Gu Tinglan raised his eyebrows, staring at the small swirl on Xixi's head, a smile on his lips, "Then we'll wait and see."
The air suddenly became quiet.
Xixi finally mustered up the courage to ask the question that had been lingering in her mind for a long time: "Are we now... what humans call an 'intimate relationship'?"
The restaurant suddenly fell silent, leaving only the ticking of the clock. Gu Tinglan put down the glass of water in his hand and looked directly into her eyes: "Which one?"
His eyes were clearly filled with the answer, but he insisted on asking even though he already knew the answer. Xixi got angry and waved her hand, saying, "Whichever kind you love."
"Yes." Gu Tinglan stopped teasing her when he saw that she was getting anxious. "They are boyfriend and girlfriend."
Even though she knew his answer in her heart, hearing it with her own ears was a completely different experience. She put down her chopsticks, placed her hands on the table, and leaned forward. "Then... can I tag you?"
Gu Tinglan was obviously stunned: "Mark?"
"It's... the mark of a succubus." Xixi's cheeks were hot, but she insisted on explaining, "It uses magic to leave a mark on you, so that other succubi will know that you have an owner."
Her voice became smaller and smaller, and finally became almost a whisper. Gu Tinglan's expression became a little complicated, as if she was thinking about something.
"Actually, I would tell others that I am taken without any labeling."
"Don't you want to?" Xixi blinked.
"Will it hurt?" he asked finally.
Xixi quickly shook her head: "No! It's just...it might be a little itchy."
Gu Tinglan stood up and walked around the dining table to her. He leaned over slightly, resting his hands on the armrests on either side of her chair. He was so close that he could smell the faint scent of shower gel on her body.
"Okay," he said, his voice low and gentle. "How do you want to mark it?"
Xixi didn't expect him to agree so readily, and was a little at a loss for a moment. She looked up at Gu Tinglan's face so close to her and noticed a small, faint mole under his left eye.
"The neck... or the wrist," she whispered. "Those are more obvious."
Gu Tinglan stood up and unbuttoned the top two buttons of his shirt, revealing his collarbone and a small part of his chest. "Is this okay?"
Xixi's fingertips trembled slightly. She took a deep breath, raised her hand, and gently stroked Gu Tinglan's collarbone. She touched it left and right, with very light force, as if to comfort him.
Finally, she showed her two extremely sharp teeth and stood on tiptoe. Gu Tinglan, who noticed her intention, lowered his head slightly to her, bent down, and let her do whatever she wanted.
Sissy bit his collarbone gently.
Lilac magic flowed from the corners of her mouth and wrapped around his skin like tiny vines.
"It might get a little hot," she warned quietly.
Gu Tinglan simply hummed, his eyes never leaving her face. Xixi concentrated, controlling her magic power to trace a small, intricate pattern on his skin—a succubus's exclusive mark, each one unique.
After Xixi's lips left, Gu Tinglan raised his hand and touched his collarbone. He rubbed the skin with his fingertips for a few times, but felt no trace. He frowned slightly and looked down at Xixi who was still standing on tiptoe. "Where's the mark?"
Xixi's eyes suddenly became vague, and her fingers twisted together unconsciously, "Well... actually..."
"Hmm." Gu Tinglan narrowed his eyes, keenly aware of her guilty conscience. He placed one hand on the wall beside her ear, trapping her between him and the wall. "Xixi, where did you mark it?"
Xixi's ears turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye. She bit her lower lip, suddenly reached out and grabbed the hem of Gu Tinglan's clothes, and before he could react, she suddenly lifted it up.
"Hey! You—"
Gu Tinglan's words came to an abrupt end.
Above his mermaid line, where his abdominal muscles were clearly defined, a delicate purple pattern was shimmering. The pattern was like a woven tapestry of winding vines and blooming flowers, breathing
It is faintly visible, and against the tight abdominal muscles, it carries an inexplicable sexiness.
"You..." Gu Tinglan's Adam's apple rolled, and his voice suddenly became hoarse, "Why did you choose here?"
Xixi blushed and gently tapped the line with her finger. "Because, only I can see it here." Her fingertips traced the outline of the line, feeling Gu Tinglan's abdominal muscles instantly tense. "Also, the skin here is the most sensitive, so the marking effect is the best."
Gu Tinglan suddenly grabbed her rebellious hand, his eyes dark and frightening: "So, do you also have such a mark?"
"Of course." Xixi nodded as a matter of course. "The succubus's mark is two-way. When I mark you, a corresponding mark will appear on my body..."
As she spoke, she was about to lift up her shirt, but Gu Tinglan grabbed her wrist. His palm was burning hot, and the force was so strong that she couldn't move.
"Don't." His voice was unnaturally low and hoarse. "Don't look now."
Xixi looked up in confusion, only to be met with a chokehold the next moment. The kiss was fierce and impulsive, Gu Tinglan's tongue plunging deep into her, undeniably forceful. Xixi's legs softened from the kiss, her back pressed against the wall, her hands unconsciously clutching at his shirt.
Gu Tinglan's kissing suddenly became intensely aggressive. He clasped the back of her head with one hand, the other gripping her waist. His tongue brushed across the sensitive roof of her mouth, causing her to shiver. Xixi was dizzy from the kiss, her breath filled with his scent, her whole body felt like it was soaking in warm honey, even her toes curling up unconsciously.
When Gu Tinglan finally let her go, both of them were breathing heavily. Xixi's lips were rosy and moist from the kiss, and her eyes were misty, making her look pitiful and cute.
"W-Why suddenly..." she asked breathlessly.
Gu Tinglan's thumb brushed the corner of her wet lips, his eyes darkening. "Because if this continues, I'm afraid I won't be able to control myself." He took a deep breath and stepped back. "Don't take off your clothes in front of me all the time. It really tests my self-control."
"Aren't we a couple? Just do whatever you want, why should you endure it?" Xixi asked naively.
"...It's progressing too fast." Gu Tinglan covered his face, not knowing how to explain it to her. He could only utter dryly, "This is not good."
"What's wrong with that?" Xixi licked her lips. "I've wanted to experience a kiss like this for a long time. Xiyin said she enjoyed it, and it turned out to be true."
Her eyes sparkled, as if she really liked it. "Can you do this to me more often in the future? I don't want those playful kisses. Just touching me is not that comfortable at all."
"Alright, Xixi," Gu Tinglan closed his eyes and said helplessly, "Don't go on."
"Why?" He always interrupted her, and Xixi was dissatisfied. "Can't I even express my own thoughts now?"
"No." Gu Tinglan hesitated to speak, looking very embarrassed.
Xixi finally saw his difficulty. Gu Tinglan was wearing casual loose pants, but he still couldn't suppress the thing that was about to burst out. At this moment, he stood there proudly.
Having witnessed it once before, Xixi was not as shocked this time, nor was she as shy as she was the first time. "Since I caused it, I have to solve it."
She suddenly approached Gu Tinglan and stretched out her hand to grab him, but was stopped by Gu Tinglan. Xixi raised her head and looked at him in confusion.
"So," Gu Tinglan suddenly changed the subject, a smile in his voice, "you deliberately marked it in such a private place, seeking excitement?"
Xixi's attention was immediately diverted. She withdrew her hand and nodded, looking very smart. "Yes, yes, this way, no matter what we do, we can see each other's marks."
"Don't you think it's exciting?"
"And there's the possibility of skin touching skin, so our markings could coincide."
Gu Tinglan couldn't bear to listen any longer, he was about to explode.
Just as Xixi was about to say something else, Gu Tinglan lowered his head, his lips moving straight to her fragile neck, and finally carefully leaving a light red kiss mark on her fair skin.
Xixi frowned slightly and didn't want to chase him until he left. She thought that his behavior was a provocation to her, so she wanted to retaliate and leave her mark in the same place. Unexpectedly, Gu Tinglan reached out and touched her forehead.
She heard a deep voice from above, "I'm going to take a shower."
Xixi raised her head in shock and said angrily, "You did this on purpose, right? I don't care, I want to take a shower with you."
"No." Gu Tinglan walked away without looking back.
