Chapter 15: Drugging “But your face is very red.”
The tea was not hot at all, just warm, just right for your taste.
Xue Zhiying held the teacup firmly in both hands, as if her lie had been exposed once again.
And the bigger lie is hidden in the tea.
Xue Zhiying was in a state of confusion and couldn't recall for a moment whether any medicine powder had been spilled into the teapot.
If so, how much was spilled? If she drank it, would she immediately look ugly in front of him?
She doesn't know.
I don’t know how much powder was spilled, nor do I know what changes this medicine will cause to the body.
Xiao Yunqi was still looking at her, his calm gaze seemed to be forcing her to admit her guilt.
If you admit it, you don't have to drink this cup of tea.
Xue Zhiying gradually lowered her eyelashes under this gaze.
She had a brief moment of evil thoughts.
Otherwise, if the drug really takes effect and he turns into a hungry wolf, loses his mind and pounces on the person, she won't have to worry or hesitate.
The next moment, she suddenly raised her hand, tilted her head back and drank the tea in the cup.
Xiao Yunqi's expression did not change at all when he saw her fearless look of being ready to die. His gaze moved down along her face and landed on her neck which was completely exposed because of her tilted head back.
Fair, slender, smooth and flawless.
Swallowing caused the throat to roll, and the dull sound of water could be heard under the cover of the teacup, which inexplicably aroused his imagination and made his eyes stay on her fragile throat.
After Xue Zhiying finished drinking and put down the cup, her face showed a stunned expression.
She was terrified and frightened into doing something stupid.
Xiao Yunqi didn't let her drink it all, so why didn't she just take a sip?
Whether it was a psychological effect or the effect of the powder, Xue Zhiying quickly felt her head getting hot and her body going weak.
Only then did she realize it and became afraid.
...She didn't want to turn into an ugly hungry wolf.
At this moment, Xiao Yunqi took the initiative to ask, "Are you hot?"
His tone and expression softened, as if her evidence from drinking tea had dispelled his suspicions and he also forgave her for coming uninvited.
Xue Zhiying was nervous: "No...it's not hot."
"But you're blushing."
Xue Zhiying's pupils constricted, and she couldn't hide her panic. She wanted to deny it, but as she followed his words, she seemed to really feel her cheeks starting to burn.
She could only change her words: "Well...it seems a little hot."
Xiao Yunqi was surprisingly considerate: "Do you want to open the window and let in some fresh air?"
It seems that the powder is really effective, and the effect is quite strong. She has started to have hallucinations.
Xue Zhiying thought about this and nodded blankly: "Okay."
The window was opened, and Xue Zhiying did not feel the hot evening breeze, but only saw the man's outstretched arms and his full chest that supported his clothes.
In just a moment, the man withdrew his hand and the scene disappeared, but she felt even hotter.
After opening the window, Xiao Yunqi moved to sit down, tapping the table with his fingertips, motioning for her to sit down too.
"Tell me, what do you want from me?"
Xue Zhiying couldn't help but feel that he had extraordinary willpower. When asked at this time, he immediately remembered the important matter in his chaotic mind.
But her behavior was still affected by the effects of the drug. She looked at the empty seat next to Xiao Yunqi and subconsciously wanted to go straight around and sit next to him. Fortunately, she stopped the impulse.
She stood there motionless with her body tense, and she didn't sit down either, for fear that if she relaxed even a little, she would lose her animal instincts and pounce on the man in front of her.
She could only lower her head and say, "I want to go out at the end of this month, and I would like to ask my cousin for help. Can you let me go out with you?"
The voice became lower and lower, until it was almost inaudible.
Xue Zhiying pinched her fingers nervously and felt her mouth dry.
In fact, this matter was just a piece of cake. It only required a word from Xiao Yunqi and it would not affect him at all.
He was a decent man, and if she asked him politely, he might agree.
The premise is to follow the rules and be polite.
No more trespassing into his dorm room, no more making far-fetched excuses.
There was no… intention to drug him.
The effect of the drug seemed to be affecting her wild thoughts again. Is it possible that if he had not discovered that she had been drugged, he would have kindly agreed to her request?
Did he...find out?
Xue Zhiying raised her eyes cautiously.
Xiao Yunqi didn't say anything, and met her gaze when she looked up at him.
Her face was still red and hot, and the heat spread to the corners of her eyes, making her originally round almond-shaped eyes look gorgeous and charming.
But the pupils were black and bright, sparkling with light and filled with unrealistic expectations, and the naturally upward curve at the end of the eyes made the whole face look well-behaved and harmless.
It's easy to soften one's heart.
After a moment, Xiao Yunqi looked away and said calmly, "Why should I help you?"
Because you have so much power, no one in the Xiao family dares to criticize you, so it is only appropriate for you to protect and favor me.
Because I have already put a lot of effort into you, and it is too late to change people now.
Because I can't bring myself to do that to others, and now that I've drunk the drug I gave myself, if you don't agree, I'll force myself on you.
I can't say a word of what I'm thinking.
Xue Zhiying pouted: "...Please, cousin."
The girl's soft voice was nasal and had a rising tone at the end.
But just as the words fell, Xiao Yunqi said coldly: "Xue Zhiying, don't act like a spoiled child to me."
Xue Zhiying endured dizziness and headache, and her heartstrings were so tense that she had no time to pay attention to anything else.
Not allowed to act coquettishly, she could only purse her lips and remain silent.
The room was quiet for a moment.
Xiao Yunqi suddenly said: "I can take you out of the house, you do something for me."
"……What?"
He was so surprised that he spoke in the same tone as before.
This caused Xiao Yunqi to look at her meaningfully again, and he spoke after a while.
"Grandmother has been ill recently. I had planned to go to Huining Temple to pray for her health at the end of the month. Since you want to leave the house, how about you go in my place?"
Xue Zhiying was surprised when he heard this.
How things unfolded unexpectedly.
Xiao Yunqi actually asked her for help.
Okay, maybe not a request.
Just like today, she was told to do something.
However, she didn't understand why Xiao Yunqi thought she could pray for the old lady on behalf of his eldest grandson, and he so easily pushed the task of filial piety to someone else.
But it was obvious that Xiao Yunqi didn't intend to explain further.
Xue Zhiying didn't think any more and answered quickly, "I can do it. Please take me out of the house with you, cousin."
Xiao Yunqi hummed, and his eyes fell on the teapot and used teacup on the table.
Xue Zhiying heard the sound of gurgling water.
He looked down and saw that the cup was full of tea again. His eyes widened and became even rounder.
Xiao Yunqi saw her expression and curled the corners of his lips. He asked slowly, "Miss Xue, would you like some tea?"
Xue Zhiying's heart tightened and he saw enemies everywhere.
Xiao Yunqi had just agreed to her request and even poured her tea personally. If she didn't drink it, would he regret it?
The enthusiasm that was about to be ignored suddenly became obvious again.
Xue Zhiying's lips moved slightly, and her voice was so low that it was inaudible: "I want to drink."
Xiao Yunqi reached out and pushed the teacup in front of her.
She got carried away and drank the tea again in front of Xiao Yunqi.
“…”
So bloated.
Why did you finish drinking it again?
Xue Zhiying tightened her lips, a little afraid that Xiao Yunqi would ask her to continue drinking.
Is he still doubting her? He can't ask her to drink the whole pot of tea before he can truly believe that she did nothing.
She raised her eyes secretly with worry, suspecting that she had lost her mind because she seemed to see Xiao Yunqi raising the corners of his lips.
Before I could see clearly, the arc disappeared.
He said calmly, "If you have nothing else, go back."
For the first time, Xue Zhiying felt fortunate that he had driven her away. After bowing, she turned around and left quickly.
Mu Yan met her in front of the courtyard gate. She was walking hurriedly and even her greetings were hastily and perfunctorily, as if she was running away and disappeared in a flash.
inside the house.
When Mu Yan presented the documents to Xiao Yunqi, he was drinking tea leisurely.
Looking at the other used teacup on the table, Mu Yan's heart was naturally filled with mixed feelings.
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Yunqi told him about the arrangements he had just made for Xue Zhiying.
Mu Yan was surprised: "Why did the master think of asking my cousin to do this?"
Xiao Yunqi did not answer.
He was not completely unkind, but there was nothing he could not agree to for such a small request from his cousin.
But agreeing to take her out of the house did not mean that he was gentle and tolerant enough to completely condone her increasingly aggressive behavior.
Her mind was full of delusions, and she should go to the temple to calm her mind.
As for this pot of tea.
Xiao Yunqi picked up the teacup and took another sip.
He couldn't understand how someone could hide the evidence in their wide cuffs and then raise their hands with the cuffs exposed to show him.
What's even more incomprehensible is how two cups of hot tea could scare her so much that her face turned red. Didn't she know that the seal of the medicine package hadn't even been opened?
And, she liked him so much that she wanted to drug him.
If you can’t get it, force it?
This is really...ridiculous.
*
Xue Zhiying walked very quickly when she left Yingfeng Courtyard, and in just a moment she returned to Jingshui Courtyard.
She drank two cups of tea, not knowing whether it was drugged or not, and she felt extremely panicked.
What she did today was completely a random idea that she came up with on the carriage on the way back.
Xiao Yunqi coldly rejected her confession and remained unmoved by her provocation.
Just as she had thought before, if she had enough time, she would not hesitate to impress him with the long and thin stream of water.
But she didn't have time.
So she thought of taking a shortcut.
This was not a difficult decision for her. She even had no hesitation and was eager to try it.
After all, before she dreamed of relying on Xiao Yunqi's power, she first coveted him as a person.
That man always appears calm and rational in front of others, as unattainable and untouchable as a banished immortal. It is hard to imagine what he will be like when he is exposed to worldly desires.
Will he be like the little man in the painting, with his lips slightly open and his eyes blurred, breathing heavily from his throat, and speaking blushing love words in a hoarse voice?
What does his body look like under his clothes? Is his skin as flawless as his face? Are his strong chest and abdomen clearly defined when touched?
Will it rise and fall with the rapid rhythm of his disturbed breathing, and will it be filled with the scorching heat brought by passion?
For a moment, I didn't know whether I wanted to see the other side of his cold appearance, or whether I wanted to achieve my goal as soon as possible.
So, without thinking it through or planning, I somehow did it.
As soon as she returned to the yard, Xue Zhiying immediately threw away the medicine bag hidden in her sleeve as if she was determined to reform herself, and asked Chuntao to prepare cold water for her bath.
Although the water was so cold that she couldn't even put her legs into the tub, she still added hot water to keep the warmth.
She didn't dare bathe for too long as her mind was in a mess.
When she was wrapped in the quilt, Xue Zhiying was sure that the pot of tea must have been sprinkled with medicinal powder.
Maybe it wasn't a large amount, not enough to drive her crazy or lose control, but it still affected her.
The images I recalled for reflection continued to grow and spread in my mind.
The more images emerged, the more strange the body felt.
She felt sore and swollen that she didn't know whether she should scratch it or massage it hard to relieve it.
She resisted the urge to reach out, but just closed her eyes and clamped her legs together.
This kind of relief was limited, my vision fell into darkness, and my thoughts became more and more crazy.
She thought of the thigh her palm had touched, the chest her body had been pressed against.
And that pot of tea that actually has medicinal properties.
After she left, would he pour himself a cup of tea because he was thirsty?
Will he have any reaction after drinking the tea, just like she is so impatient and restless now?
Thinking this, she pushed open the door again.
The light in the room was dim, and shadows were vague on the partition screen.
The suppressed low moans that had only appeared in my imagination now reached my ears.
Just listening to the sound, a wave of heat spread throughout her body.
She was attracted by the voice and took a step closer.
The man sat lazily on the edge of the bed, his upper body clothes neatly arranged, but his trouser waistband was disheveled.
It was a look she had never seen before.
His black hair was disheveled, his legs were open, one hand was resting on the bed, and the other arm was resting on his thigh.
The dim candlelight cast a dark shadow on his face, and his usually cold black eyes were now surging with waves.
His arm moved slightly, and a low groan came from his throat.
He seemed to be in pain, but he didn't stop.
Until he discovered the uninvited intruder.
That gaze was like a hungry prey that suddenly locked onto her, as if physically restraining her.
He called her hoarsely, "Come and help me."
Standing in front of the man, she was taller than him, but still could not change the situation that seemed to be under her control.
He withdrew his hand from the couch and clasped the back of her neck, easily pushing her down and bending her over.
The lips were sucked and bitten.
He was relentless, urgent and violent.
She was carried to the bed, but he stood up.
The lips that were kissed red and upturned were slowly caressed by his rough fingertips.
The water light dyed the entire lip, leaving a soft arc.
He stepped closer, pressed himself against her, and put his thumb into her mouth, pressing against her teeth.
He commanded her condescendingly: "Open your mouth."
