Chapter 21: Soft "Untie me."
This was not his first raid, and Xue Zhiying felt he was familiar with the situation.
Xiao Yunqi's face enlarged in front of his eyes, his breath entangled with his in an instant, and his breath also came to his face.
When the heat brushed against her lips, Xue Zhiying's heartbeat quickened and she closed her eyes nervously.
The next moment, that big, dry hand suddenly grabbed her cheeks.
Xue Zhiying was stunned, her lips pouting uncontrollably, but she couldn't touch him, so she opened her eyes in panic.
Nearby, the man looked at her calmly, not frightened by the sudden attack, nor worried about his current situation of being suppressed.
He moved his fingers, caressing the skin of her cheek with his fingertips, moving down, and finally pinching her chin with two fingers.
"Is it not up to me?"
Xue Zhiying's lips recovered, but her breathing stopped.
Their lips, which had touched each other, were slightly warm, but he restrained them with one hand and they couldn't go any further.
She could only tell him without any momentum: "Let me go."
Xiao Yunqi was so angry at her that he wanted to laugh.
He stared at those trembling eyes, wondering how she could have the courage to do such a thing to him.
He suddenly thought that he should take back what he had thought before, because she only had the same few tricks over and over again.
Her tactics were indeed old-fashioned and crude, but the more she repeated them, the more she got ahead of herself.
Drugged and tied up.
Climbing into bed, forced.
Is there anything else she dare not do?
After a while, he let go.
But he ordered her coldly: "Get up."
Doing the most daring things, yet easily frightened.
Xue Zhiying shrank back and began to move her body, rubbing her butt against his thigh as she moved backwards.
It was as if he was frightened and didn't dare to act rashly, but he was secretly twisting and provoking.
God knows, she was just so scared that her waist went limp and she couldn't get up at all, otherwise she would have run away long ago.
Xiao Yunqi's face gradually darkened. After she twisted for a while, he finally reached out and pressed her legs down after he could no longer bear it.
Under his palm, there were two pressure marks on the girl's thigh from his finger press.
The soft flesh squeezed out from between the fingers, and it was uneven and concave, which looked inexplicably erotic.
Xiao Yunqi lowered his eyes and took a look. The unfamiliar touch made him unconsciously tighten his fingers.
It was so soft that it was puzzling that it could even sink.
“Hmm…”
The shout was stopped midway.
Xiao Yunqi raised his eyes: "What's your name?"
Xue Zhiying murmured aggrievedly: "It hurts."
Even crying out in pain was timid.
There is no punishment that doesn't hurt. He was planning to strangle her to death on the couch.
Just as I was thinking this, the hand on my leg was suddenly withdrawn.
"You know it hurts, but you still won't stop?"
What he meant was, if she didn't leave, he would really strangle her to death.
The instinct for survival forced Xue Zhiying to stand up.
Her hips pressed against his thighs again, and just for a moment, she bounced again as if her butt was on fire.
Xue Zhiying stumbled out of bed, feeling like she was doomed.
In fact, every time she was caught by Xiao Yunqi, she felt that she was doomed.
She was always trying to muster up courage, and always failing.
She began to feel sad.
Even the embroidered shoes that she had just taken off to avoid dirtying his bed were turned left and right and could not be put on.
I regretted taking off my shoes even more.
She thought maliciously that she should dirty his bed and dirty him as well.
I finally put on my shoes and was about to take a step when I suddenly stopped.
There was a slight noise behind him, and it sounded like the man was having difficulty moving because one of his hands was tied.
Xue Zhiying suddenly remembered the reason that prompted her to appear here tonight.
Thinking of the bad and worse things in her future life.
I thought of the irresistible invitation in a few days, and also of my current equally desperate situation.
Her eyes fixed, and then she suddenly turned around.
Xiao Yunqi was just sitting up from the bed, his long legs falling under the bed. Just as he raised his eyes, his shoulders were suddenly held down.
Xue Zhiying raised her legs and straddled him, not even daring to look at him for a second. She straddled him and hugged him tightly.
Xiao Yunqi instinctively raised his right hand, which hung in the air for a moment before slowly falling to his side.
Suddenly, a shivering black shadow appeared in front of him, and its soft body pressed on his legs again, and it also tightly gripped his neck, as if it was holding onto a piece of driftwood in the waves, and there was no way it would let go.
Xiao Yunqi's eyes were filled with darkness, and his voice was as cold as ice: "Xue Zhiying, do you know what you are doing?"
Xue Zhiying leaned forward, her voice muffled against his neck as she spoke in a tone that was neither just nor strong: "...I know."
She mustered up her courage again, but she might fail again.
Just fail.
Maybe Xiao Yunqi would kick her out of the Xiao Mansion in anger.
This seemed to be the least bad outcome of all. Wasn't this exactly what she wanted to achieve in the end?
Although she had not saved enough money yet, she had nowhere to go if she left the Xiao Mansion.
But this is also good.
If she was kicked out of the Xiao Mansion, she might only have to worry about food and clothing in the future and would no longer have to worry about anything else.
She was determined to break the jar and said bluntly: "I want to be with you."
There was silence in front of him, and it seemed that even his breathing could not be heard.
The silence lasted for a long time before Xue Zhiying realized that it was her own nervous heartbeat that drowned out all other sounds.
She couldn't hear anything.
Xue Zhiying started to get scared again.
In fact, she didn't want to be kicked out, didn't want to sleep on the street in the rain, and didn't want to have no food to eat.
She is very greedy. There are many things she doesn't want, and she wants even more.
She unconsciously tightened her arms again, and wondered anxiously how she could convince him.
"If you don't agree, I will force you."
Finally, there was a voice in front of me.
Xiao Yunqi snorted and laughed: "How can I force you? Are you going to strangle me to death if I don't agree?"
Xue Zhiying subconsciously let go, but then reacted and reached out again to hug him tightly, but with slightly less strength.
"Promise me, I won't do anything to you."
After Xiao Yunqi laughed in anger, he was speechless again.
Why on earth did she think that pressing him so softly was enough to threaten him?
"Will you stay with me?"
Xue Zhiying asked again in a low voice where he couldn't see her expression.
But what he got was a cold sarcasm: "Go away."
"don't want."
Xue Zhiying refused decisively and pretended to tighten her arms, showing a threat to him.
In fact, she was also on guard against Xiao Yunqi pushing her down directly.
She glanced at her side and saw that his left hand was still tied to the bed rail with a silk ribbon, but his right hand was not bound.
She had never been pushed like that before, and she wasn't sure if Xiao Yunqi could push her away with one hand.
But remembering how hard he had pinched her leg just now, she couldn't help but clutch his pajamas.
"I'll go down if you promise to stay with me."
Xiao Yunqi frowned slightly and leaned back.
He stepped back a little, and his eyes fell on the face that was trying to hide its guilt.
After being caught by his gaze, the expression on that face suddenly became even more uneasy.
Xiao Yunqi stared at her and asked slowly, "What do you mean by together?"
He saw the expression on her face change again. She sat on his lap, her body taller than him, blocking the faint moonlight outside the window. Her entire face was shrouded in darkness, and no color could be seen, but it made people inexplicably feel that it was hot.
"At least, admit that I am yours."
It was even more obvious from the sound that her timidity gradually disappeared and was replaced by embarrassment.
Someone who can give her what she wants and who is under his protection.
"My people."
Xiao Yunqi murmured these words softly on his lips.
But there was no further news.
He naturally didn't take her coquettish threats seriously, nor did he feel the need to be with her.
The girl started to feel anxious again after not getting an answer for a long time.
She is so timid and cowardly, yet she always does ridiculous things that he cannot expect, and she keeps pushing her limits.
Pushing further.
Yes, she is always pushing for more.
Now she only says that she wants to be with him, but later she will force him to marry her.
That's really quite fanciful.
But he was perversely curious about it.
It should be said that I became curious about her again.
How far can she go and what absurd things will she do when she wants to force him to marry her.
Xiao Yunqi has no interest in matters between men and women. Perhaps he was born without this element in his seven emotions and six desires, but his thirst for knowledge is still there.
Any desire arises suddenly, and then is either satisfied or disappears quietly.
If this is the first step to find the answer, it is not unacceptable when he has the desire.
Therefore, Xiao Yunqi quickly accepted his desire and did not think too much about how to deal with this unknown relationship after the desire faded away.
He raised his eyes and looked directly at her, studying her expectant yet uneasy expression for a moment longer.
The girl's beautiful face was reflected in his eyes. The twinkle in her eyes and the watery light on her lips after she pursed them repeatedly were particularly clear in the night.
Xiao Yunqi said: "Well, I agree."
Xue Zhiying widened her eyes in shock, and the words that were about to come out of her lips were choked and turned into an uncontrollable moan.
She is really good at acting coquettishly.
Xiao Yunqi thought so.
Xue Zhiying took a moment to finally find her voice and asked nervously, "Really?"
"Go down."
Her waist tightened and her eyes drooped.
Xiao Yunqi ignored her possible attempt at acting like a spoiled child and said expressionlessly, "Didn't you say you can go down just because you agreed?"
He said it as if it was just a perfunctory answer.
Xue Zhiying was shocked and felt a little annoyed.
Why did she say such a logically contradictory thing just now?
If he agreed to be with her, why should she get off him?
But the body still moved helplessly.
She shifted slowly, her palms supporting his shoulders as if for leverage, but her fingers did not loosen his pajamas at all.
Even after another round of twisting, she didn't fall off the man at all.
Suddenly, Xiao Yunqi raised his right hand and took one of her hands off his shoulder, then the other.
His large hands grasped both of her wrists tightly, and he forced her to loosen his pajamas before mercilessly throwing them aside.
As he moved his legs, Xue Zhiying's body lost balance instantly. The moment her toes touched the ground, she instinctively stepped away and actually got off him, staggering twice in embarrassment.
Xue Zhiying looked up eagerly, but didn't have time to speak.
Xiao Yunqi said calmly, "Go and light the lamp."
"……What?"
"Aren't you mine? I told you to light the lamp."
Xue Zhiying frowned, the dark room prevented her from seeing the expression on Xiao Yunqi's face.
She was silent for a moment, but finally turned around reluctantly to look for a candle.
This was her third time in his bedroom, but she was still unfamiliar with it.
"Left." Xiao Yunqi reminded her from behind.
Although he didn't seem to be bossing around, he was still as cold as ever.
It seems no different from before I agreed.
Xue Zhiying was in a bad mood. The darkness of the night hid her low mood, but it would soon be exposed under the candlelight.
She turned to her left and saw the candlesticks on the table.
The firelight illuminates the vision, making people feel dazed, as if waking up from a dream.
The candlelight flickered on the windowsill, making a slight crackling sound.
Xue Zhiying lowered her head and walked back to the bed, staring at Xiao Yunqi's shoes. She declared in a low voice, "I don't want to be your maid."
After he finished speaking, there was no response for a long time.
She couldn't help but look up.
The outline that had been blurry just now is now clear to the eye.
Just like the scene that appeared in her dream.
Xiao Yunqi's black hair was loose, and he sat lazily on the edge of the bed, as if he felt relaxed after finishing something.
His legs were slightly open, one hand casually resting at his side, while the other hand was wrapped around the wrist by a slender silk ribbon, with his broad palm hanging down relaxedly, adding a sense of forbidden charm to the seemingly serious scene before him.
Xue Zhiying swallowed unconsciously and suddenly felt hot.
The man beside the bed asked at this moment: "What is that?"
She was stunned for a moment, a blush quickly climbed up her cheeks, and her gaze became vague.
Glancing at the loose collar of his pajamas, his chest rising and falling with his breathing was faintly visible.
Then he turned to his trapped left hand, where his long fingers hung in a disorderly manner, veins bulged on the back of his hand, and the bones of his knuckles were obvious.
I could only move again in a panic, but ended up in the faded room.
That part in the dream was always vague because she had never seen it with her own eyes, but now she could see a clear outline, like a dormant beast.
Her eyes were burning with heat, and she lowered them heavily as if burned, and finally her eyes could only stop at the pair of black satin boots.
The heat persists and my mouth feels dry.
But Xiao Yunqi always asks at times like this: "Answer me."
He took in her expression and posture at the moment without any hesitation.
The lit candlelight made it possible to see clearly what was unclear just now.
It’s like that face that is so red that it seems like you can squeeze juice out of it, it is delicate, smooth, rosy and attractive, and the sickly look before is gone.
It seems that his illness has been completely cured, otherwise I wouldn't have the energy to do this to him.
For no reason, he thought of the feeling under his palm just now.
But the force of the pinch was too strong, and I can't seem to remember it clearly.
If you rub it slowly, how soft will it become?
Xue Zhiying lowered her head and was aware of the strong presence of that gaze, which showed no intention of retreating.
Of course Xiao Yunqi would not restrain himself, and she was the only one who was nervous.
After a brief silence, she tried her best to keep her voice steady and answered under that gaze, "It's... the person next to me."
Xiao Yunqi's eyes swept across her throat, which was rolling again: "Is that so."
"Are you just trying to fool me?" Xue Zhiying said angrily.
Although she had no right to be angry.
Xiao Yunqi asked: "How can we not be perfunctory?"
At this point, Xue Zhiying gritted her teeth and said, "I'm going to sleep here tonight."
Xiao Yunqi couldn't help but let out a low laugh.
"why are you laughing?"
She thought of the things he hadn't done before: "Last time you said you would agree to my request, but you didn't do it. Now you say you will agree, but there is still a possibility that you won't do it. Unless I really sleep here tonight, I will still force you."
Xiao Yunqi looked at his left hand which was tied to the bed rail with a silk ribbon.
"Did I agree last time?"
Xue Zhiying was stunned.
It seems not.
"But you said you would compensate me."
"Can anything I say be compensated?"
It seems... not.
Xue Zhiying's accusation, which was intended to reverse the situation, suddenly became untenable.
Even though one of the man's hands was tied, restricting his movements, he still had the upper hand and easily suppressed her already limited momentum.
That's right, his other hand could untie the ropes at any time, so she couldn't trap him at all.
At this time, Xiao Yunqi moved his other hand.
But instead of untying her, he patted her side lightly.
"come over."
Xue Zhiying took a step forward in a daze, secretly glanced at his expression and quickly looked away. After walking closer, she tentatively bent her knees and finally sat on his bed.
Xiao Yunqi then said, "Take it off."
Xue Zhiying pursed her lips when she heard this, unable to express what she felt at the moment.
She felt that Xiao Yunqi might be humiliating her as punishment for her audacity tonight.
But this was exactly what she wanted to achieve. It seemed that no one would flatter her with kind words even if they were forced to do so.
She held on to this complicated feeling and slowly moved to her waist.
She was only wearing a middle-length shirt at the moment, and after taking it off, the small shirt underneath would be exposed, which was tightly fitting to her body.
Just as her fingers hooked the thin belt around her waist, a hand suddenly reached out and pressed her wrist.
"I asked you to take off your shoes, which ones are you taking off?"
Xue Zhiying: “…Ah?”
"You're going to sleep in my bed with your shoes on?"
"No."
Xue Zhiying turned around and bent down to take off her shoes.
She bent down, and her previous panic had already caused her clothes to loosen. The collar was left open as she bent down, revealing a piece of smooth skin with a light pink hue on her chest, and the light blue dress underneath.
Xiao Yunqi's eyes, which were already on her, inevitably caught sight of this scene.
The small dress wraps up the soft curves, which are plump and full, and are eye-catching.
His gaze paused for a moment before he looked away without changing his expression.
Xue Zhiying took off her embroidered shoes again, but without the protection of the shoes, she felt inexplicably ashamed under the candlelight.
She subconsciously retracted her legs, and her legs naturally fell onto the couch.
Xiao Yunqi heard the noise and turned around to look at her again, but he didn't seem to care about her little action, as if he tacitly agreed.
He then said, "Untie me."
Xue Zhiying's heart skipped a beat. She was being ordered around by him in a condescending manner, but shamefully, she felt excited because this seemed to be the achievement of her goal.
Are they going to sleep together now?
Like a dream.
After repeated failures, he inexplicably achieved success.
It makes people feel insignificant and afraid that they will wake up in shock if they are not careful.
So she moved her left hand towards Xiao Yunqi very slowly, trying to keep him restrained for a little longer and under control for a little longer.
The gentle rustling sound on the bed inexplicably gave rise to a somewhat ambiguous feeling.
It's like the suggestive teasing before lovers have sex.
When Xue Zhiying thought of this, her face turned red again.
As soon as my eyes met the still bound hand, some thoughts emerged in my mind uncontrollably.
She suddenly said, "You won't regret it, will you?"
Xiao Yunqi turned around when he heard the voice and saw her standing behind him, staring at his hand again.
He didn't answer, as if he wanted to ignore the promise with silence.
But Xue Zhiying became persistent, her fingers resting on the silk ribbon without moving.
"If you don't answer, I won't untie you."
Xiao Yunqi almost laughed out of anger again: "Xue Zhiying, is all you can do is threaten?"
Xue Zhiying was a little worried, afraid that if she pushed him too far, he would lose all the success he had achieved so far.
"No, I..."
She lowered her eyes and pondered for a moment, then suddenly raised them again: "I need to confirm."
As soon as the words fell, the candlelight cast a shadow that swayed on the wall.
Xue Zhiying leaned forward, climbed onto his shoulders, and tilted her head to kiss his lips.
The body subconsciously prepared to be pushed away, making the movements tense and stiff.
But the person in front of him didn't move away or dodge, and their lips were firmly pressed together.
This caused her heartbeat, which had been so nervous that it had almost stopped, to suddenly start beating again, and then surge.
But her kiss was extremely awkward. After their lips touched each other, there was no other movement and they just stopped there.
Xiao Yunqi narrowed his eyes slightly, and his vision was flushed.
The girl's eyelashes trembled with the sound of her heartbeat that invaded her ears. Her lips brought a soft and moist touch, exuding fragrance, but she stopped in her tracks.
After sticking close to him for a while, she backed away with a red face, lowering her head and not daring to look him in the eye.
Perhaps she didn't want to hear his sarcasm, so she took the initiative to whisper, "I've confirmed it."
Xiao Yunqi's Adam's apple rolled and his eyes gradually dimmed.
He suddenly turned sideways, pinched her small chin with his left hand, and forcibly lifted her shy face.
Xue Zhiying moved her lips slightly as if she wanted to say something.
But the man's rough fingertips suddenly pressed on her lips, and his thumb rubbed and moved, wiping away the water on her lips.
The words stopped there. Unlike the illusory imagination in the dream, every inch of the feeling at this moment was particularly obvious.
Xiao Yunqi still had that abstinent and cold look on his face, but Xue Zhiying couldn't help but feel hot all over and her throat tight.
Because in the dream, after he touched her lips like this, he would make her open her mouth.
Let her hold it in her mouth and swallow it.
But this is not a dream.
He wouldn't say anything like that.
Then, she heard Xiao Yunqi ask in a deep voice: "Is it confirmed?"
Xue Zhiying was slightly stunned, thinking that her voice was too low and he couldn't hear it.
She moved her lips again, wanting to repeat what she had just said.
But just as her lips opened a little, the thumb pressing on her lower lip penetrated into the depression.
Xue Zhiying tensed up suddenly, her tongue frozen and she dared not move.
His thumb easily pressed the soft tip of her tongue.
Xiao Yunqi's slow whisper mixed with the ambiguous sound of water.
"Since you're still unsure, I can allow you to confirm it again."
Xue Zhiying met those black eyes that seemed different from usual.
But before he could take a closer look, Xiao Yunqi's cold and handsome face enlarged before his eyes.
He lowered his head and pressed his lips against hers.
The fingers pressed in her mouth were withdrawn, and her lips, which closed unconsciously, pressed against his, making a light sound like water.
Xiao Yunqi's movements were unstructured and somewhat exploratory. He tried to pry her open again with his lips but to no avail, so he instinctively stuck out his tongue.
The sudden wet and soft touch on her lips made Xue Zhiying's waist soften and she almost fell down.
The hand that was pulled away held her from behind.
It seemed that instead of supporting her intimately, he was chasing her lips that retreated due to her weakness.
He took her lips in his mouth again, sucking and biting them back and forth.
He actually said the same words as in the dream: "Open your mouth."
This time it was the tip of the tongue that came in, but it also hit her tongue and wrapped around her flexibly.
It was still a kiss without any skills, but it soon made Xue Zhiying dizzy.
She couldn't respond and could only open her lips and let him take what he wanted.
The man was intelligent and gradually became more skilled as he went deeper, but also more eager.
He invaded wantonly and aggressively, moving his palm that was supporting the girl's lower back upwards and controlling the back of her neck with one hand.
The force of the suppression forced Xue Zhiying to tilt her neck back and unable to move, and soon she found it difficult to breathe in this kiss that was like a whirlwind.
The body then began to feel strange and restless, with a hidden and difficult to find source.
She shouldn't be unfamiliar with this.
I've had this feeling before when I dreamed of him, but this time it seemed different.
More...intense.
Xue Zhiying shamefully tried to suppress this feeling, and clamped her legs together as she always did when she slept on the bed.
But the dense numbness could not be suppressed, but became more and more violent, so sticky that it seemed to drown something.
The back of his neck was suddenly tightened, and the low moan that had been suppressed in his chest burst out uncontrollably.
The kiss intensified instantly. Xiao Yunqi pressed her tightly, trying to push her into the bed, until her bound left hand restrained his movements.
He paused, released her lips and tongue, and turned to look at the bed railing with an unclear expression.
Xue Zhiying finally recovered her breathing, but her mind did not clear up.
She was breathing heavily, her hands helplessly placed on her legs, instinctively trying to cover something.
When she raised her eyes, they were filled with hazy shimmer.
Xiao Yunqi's eyes darkened, and his gaze moved down for no reason, finally landing on the pair of slender white hands. The fingers on the back of her neck rubbed unevenly.
Xue Zhiying's heart almost jumped into her throat, fearing that he had discovered something.
With a slight rustling sound, she quietly closed her legs a little tighter.
The wetness she felt while being pressed against each other made her lower her head in embarrassment.
Fortunately, Xiao Yunqi only glanced at me and then looked away. He said in a hoarse voice, "Do you still have the strength to untie me?"
Xue Zhiying came back to her senses: "Yes, yes."
Xiao Yunqi released his hold on her and watched her without wavering as she came to the bed rail again.
The girl had a petite body and barely took up much space while kneeling on the bed. Her lips, which had been kissed, were like sweet fruits that had been squeezed to extract their juice, red, moist, and with a gorgeous sheen.
Her fingers were a little flustered, and she touched his pulse several times.
It might be intentional, but she doesn't look like she has the energy to deliberately seduce him at this moment.
She seemed to have been bullied and had subdued her temper. She murmured softly and sweetly, "Cousin, I really like you."
Xiao Yunqi: "Hasn't it been confirmed yet?"
Xue Zhiying turned around when she heard the voice, her eyes showing obvious nervousness but also anticipation.
The silk ribbon loosened, and she saw out of the corner of her eye that the hand had regained its freedom.
Then his fingers came to her cheek.
The slight touch made her flinch, and she came back to her senses and whispered back to his question, "Confirmed."
"Yeah."
He responded calmly, his hand with five fingers spread out, covering most of her face from below.
Xue Zhiying was stunned, her eyes wide open in confusion, her almond-shaped eyes looking at him in confusion and ignorance.
But Xiao Yunqi didn't say anything, his eyes focused on the cheek in his hands.
Then he used force.
It felt like holding a ball of cotton in my palm, but it was smooth and warm. A gentle squeeze made two depressions appear on my cheeks, and with another rub, they easily changed shape.
Xiao Yunqi looked like he was studying something new and interesting. His face was focused and calm, but his fingers were unconsciously stroking the skin in small movements.
Xue Zhiying didn't know what he was doing, but she obediently raised her head slightly and let him do what he wanted.
But I couldn't wait for him to stop touching me enough.
Xue Zhiying couldn't help herself and asked, "Can you stop touching me?"
"Does it hurt?"
"No……"
Her cheeks were hot, filled with the warmth of Xiao Yunqi's palm.
She lowered her eyes to avoid his direct gaze and whispered, "It's getting late."
Xiao Yunqi asked casually: "Well, so what?"
So don't touch it.
Or… stop just touching your face.
In fact, Xue Zhiying was already very sleepy.
Just the kiss just now had exhausted most of her energy. She wondered if she could still handle it later.
If Xiao Yunqi becomes as capable as she dreamed of him again, it will probably take until dawn.
The more I thought about it, the hotter my face became. It was no longer just the warmth from the man's palm.
Xiao Yunqi's palm was pressed against her skin, so she could feel it.
But he immediately asked seriously, "Did my question remind you of anything exciting?"
Xue Zhiying's pupils trembled, and she could no longer suppress the heat. She still denied it guiltily: "No."
"Then go on to answer, so what?"
Once again, she was confused as to why he always insisted on asking questions about things that didn't need to be explained.
After a moment of silence, she finally spoke in an inaudible voice: "So, it's time to go to bed."
Xiao Yunqi paused his movements and turned his head to look at the sky outside.
He withdrew his hand: "Well, it's time for you to go to bed."
Before Xue Zhiying could get nervous, Xiao Yunqi stood up and strode away from the bed.
A figure swayed behind the screen.
Xue Zhiying was confused at first and knelt there alone until she saw Xiao Yunqi had changed out of his pajamas and was walking out from behind the screen while putting on his outer robe.
She panicked and couldn't help asking, "Where are you going?"
Xiao Yunqi was adjusting his belt with his head down: "Get up early and go to work."
"M-morning..."
Xue Zhiying also turned her head and looked out the window like he did just now.
The candlelight in the house made it difficult to distinguish the sky. It was vaguely visible that it was not yet dawn, but it was also possible that dawn was approaching.
She opened her mouth, wanting to ask again, but was afraid he wouldn't answer.
But at this moment, Xiao Yunqi looked up and called her: "Come here."
Xue Zhiying moved slowly, somewhat reluctant to leave his bed, fearing that she would not be able to get up there again later.
But she still got out of bed, put on her embroidered shoes, and walked over.
Just as she walked up to her and stopped, Xiao Yunqi tightened the black leather inlaid with jade, which clearly outlined his narrow waistline and inexplicably attracted people's attention.
A man's emotionless voice came from above: "Where are you looking?"
Xue Zhiying suddenly looked up, pursed her lips and did not answer.
Xiao Yunqi glanced at her calmly, and for once, he didn't ask any further questions. Instead, he asked, "Can you comb your hair?"
Xue Zhiying was slightly stunned: "Yes."
"Follow me."
Xiao Yunqi walked to the side, and the sound of light footsteps came from behind him.
When he sat down in front of the bronze mirror, a girl appeared in the mirror, looking as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.
She thought he hadn't seen it, so after some thought, she mustered up the courage to declare in advance: "You didn't promise me to be a maid."
After she finished speaking, without waiting for Xiao Yunqi to react, she quickly picked up the tortoise shell comb on the table and started combing her hair.
Xiao Yunqi had never had a maid serving him personally, and no woman had ever combed his hair.
Xue Zhiying didn't need to state it many times that he didn't intend to treat her as a maid, and he didn't need a maid who always wanted to climb into bed.
Now that I think about it carefully, it was indeed a bit hasty to agree to her just now.
Thinking of how she climbed onto the bed with such vigour, but became so limp she couldn't even stand up after kissing her for a moment, he couldn't help but sneer in his heart. She was still planning to force herself on him. If he really laid down and tied her up so that he could force her, she might not even realize it.
Xiao Yunqi's eyes dimmed, he lowered his eyes for a moment, and gently brushed the hem of his clothes.
Xue Zhiying was very skilled at combing Xiao Yunqi's hair. She quickly tied up Xiao Yunqi's black hair and combed it meticulously.
Xiao Yunqi casually pointed to the jade crown beside him and motioned her to put it on him.
He asked, "Have you ever learned how to comb men's hair before?"
Xue Zhiying paused, then remained silent for a moment before lowering her eyes and saying, "Yes, the Second Madam sent someone to teach us for a while."
As for the things she dared not say, the things she had dreamed about, were all images that came to her mind after Xu had strictly ordered her to study many picture books and read texts.
In fact, ordinary women would also do this kind of learning before getting married for the sake of future bedroom pleasure between husband and wife.
But Xu's arrangement was to allow her to serve the powerful in the future.
Xiao Yunqi is so smart, he should be able to understand the deep meaning of this answer immediately.
Thinking of this, Xue Zhiying became depressed and her movements of putting the crown on him became slow.
But in the end, she still skillfully put it on him steadily.
Xiao Yunqi looked at it for a moment and then stood up.
Just as I was about to take a step forward, I felt a slight tug on the corner of my clothes.
He turned his head and looked down, and saw two white fingers clenched tightly on his sleeves.
Xue Zhiying took a step forward, her body almost touching his arm, but there was no actual contact.
She lowered her head and whispered, "From now on, I will only comb your hair."
Because she lowered her head, she forgot to see the expression on Xiao Yunqi's face at that moment.
It was not until he left the room in silence that she finally realized what was happening and looked up.
It was still pitch black outside the window, making it impossible to tell when dawn would arrive.
Xue Zhiying was left alone in the dormitory, and the bed with a thin quilt and messy clothes was visible in her sight.
She walked over carefully and took off her shoes and socks quietly.
Sitting on the bed again, that dreamlike feeling came over me again.
She slowly fell sideways, resting her head on the pillow that had lost its warmth, and then pulled the thin quilt over herself.
The quiet atmosphere in the room was sleep-inducing, but she didn't want to close her eyes.
The scent of Xiao Yunqi lingered in his nostrils, as if it was there and not there, sometimes far away, sometimes near, making the moment seem even more unreal.
She was a little worried, so she closed her eyes and opened them again, and she found herself in the house in Jingshuiyuan again.
Everything tonight was just a dream. She failed and failed to achieve her goal.
…
When I opened my eyes again, the light from the sky was pouring in, bright and dazzling.
Xue Zhiying was in a trance for a moment.
It wasn't until I saw the scene clearly that the memory of before going to bed came back to me instantly.
She sat up in surprise, and Xiao Yunqi's thin quilt slipped off in front of her, revealing her slightly messy undershirt.
She was actually still in his bedroom.
Even though everything has been confirmed to be true, Xue Zhiying's movements in the house still seem sneaky.
She put on her clothes quietly and quickly adjusted her hair in front of the bronze mirror where she had combed Xiao Yunqi's hair not long ago.
Even when washing, try to avoid making any sound of water.
After tidying herself up, she made Xiao Yunqi's bed flat again, looking like a guilty thief, and covered up all traces of her stay there.
Only after she finished everything did she let out a long breath.
Xue Zhiying gently pushed open the bedroom door.
The huge courtyard was empty.
Sometimes she felt that it was a waste for Xiao Yunqi to occupy such a large piece of land but rarely use it, and he didn't even have many servants.
But thinking back, it was precisely because of this that she had the opportunity to break in.
While there was no one around, she should leave quickly.
Xue Zhiying looked back at the dormitory one last time, and after confirming that everything was normal, she closed the door and walked out.
In order to avoid meeting anyone at the main gate, she deliberately went from the corridor to the side door. It was from here that she sneaked into the courtyard yesterday.
Just as I was about to reach the side door, I suddenly heard a sound.
"Second Master, watch your step."
Xue Zhiying was startled and stopped immediately when she recognized Mu Yan's voice.
The Second Master is naturally the master of the second branch of the Xiao Mansion. Being led by Mu Yan, he is heading towards Xiao Yunqi's courtyard.
But why did he go through the side door?
Xue Zhiying suddenly felt panicked. She heard footsteps approaching, so she turned around and hid in a nearby side hall.
Just as she closed the door, she was shocked to realize that the Second Master would be led to the side hall for reception when he came here.
Sure enough, the footsteps that had already stepped through the side door came straight towards the side hall.
The side hall in Xiao Yunqi's courtyard was different from other places. There was only a large table and no other decorations such as screens or elevated platforms for people to hide.
There was no time to think any further, Xue Zhiying hurried to the desk, bent down and got in.
The space under the rectangular table was not narrow, and the desk shawl fell to the ground, completely blocking it from the outside.
Just as I hid, the door was opened from the outside.
Xiao Yunqi's steady voice came from across the table: "Uncle, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. Please come this way."
He walked straight to the chair near the desk and started to sit down.
When he lowered his head, he saw a face that was so nervous that its eyes were watery. The face was tilting its neck and looking at him pitifully.
Xiao Yunqi stood there in silence for a moment, then raised his eyes without changing his expression, stretched his legs and sat on the chair. From the corner of his eye, he saw the girl under the table carefully moving her body to follow his movements.
Finally, she squatted obediently between his legs.
