Shura Field

A few strands of cool breeze blew in through the nearby window.

Jiang Xiao’s sight was blocked by strands of hair, stimulating her skin, making her blink repeatedly. But she didn’t care much, leaning against the man beside her neck, softly negotiating, “Turn off the lights.”

Her voice was low, with a different kind of charm.

“But you’re biting me, I can’t leave.”

After hearing the man’s reply, Jiang Xia’s face instantly became strange, unable to tell if it was her fair skin blushing or if it was naturally red.

Feeling embarrassed, she couldn’t help but glance down. The cheongsam that originally reached her ankles was now piled up high. Her long legs were fully exposed, slender and delicate, dangling in the air, with extra fabric blocking the view, making it hard for her to assess the situation.

She didn’t know when his hand slipped down from the slightly tight skirt edge, Jiang Xiao felt his warmth touching her dampness, and her breath began to quicken.

In a daze, her dizzy head suddenly woke up. Why was it that only she was trapped by desire, while he could be so relaxed and even tease her?

Her watery eyes glared at Zhou Qishen with deep resentment. Jiang Xiao hesitated for a moment, her fair fingers pinched his wrist, red lips pressed against his neck, imitating his lingering affection for her skin, licking and kissing, slowly moving up until she bit his earlobe.

“Xiaoxiao…” Unable to resist such teasing, the man couldn’t help but let out a muffled groan.

The low voice went straight into Jiang Xiao’s ears, her movements paused. She had never seen him make such a sound before. Her fingers unconsciously exerted force, and the round nails deeply penetrated his flesh.

“Behave.” Jiang Xiao issued a warning, immediately clinging to his arm. Taking advantage of the height difference between them, her red lips wreaked havoc all the way down, leaving enticing marks on his skin like blooming flowers.

She had never behaved like this to please a man before. Feeling nervous, she didn’t know how he felt—whether he enjoyed it more or felt uncomfortable. It felt good to her, as she had been served by him before, and she was still relatively satisfied.

But she was still a novice, unable to grasp that degree. As her thoughts turned, she stopped for a moment and slightly raised her eyes to look. Half of his abs and chest were covered with the kiss marks she left.

Jiang Xiao thought it was not good, and it seemed that she had used too much force…

She intended to say something, but in the darkness, a sudden knocking sound startled her. It was intermittent and terrifying, making Jiang Xiao quickly reach out to push away the man in front of her, bumping into his opaque and dark eyes, so shy that she didn’t know where to look.

Zhou Qishen was caught off guard, took a step back, and his fingertips pulled away, taking away a sticky residue.

The two looked at each other for a moment. Jiang Xia first uncomfortably averted her gaze and touched the broken hair around her ear.

Jiang Xiao pursed her lips, moistened and slightly swollen, and the person knocking on the door did not speak but did not leave. Unable to get a response, he continued to knock on the door annoyingly.

Gradually regaining consciousness, Jiang Xiao glanced at his glimmering upper body with the corner of her eye. Thinking of unfinished things, she immediately covered her lips and coughed lightly twice to ease the embarrassment. She murmured, “I’ll go open it, you put on your clothes.”

After Jiang Xiao finished explaining, she bent down, hooked her two index fingers on the leggings and the corners of her underwear that had slid to the edge of her knees, and with a little force, returned them to their original position.

Then she lowered her head to straighten out the messy cheongsam, corrected the twisted knots, and pulled the skirt while walking, all the way to the door. Before opening the door, she didn’t forget to turn off the lights to cover up Zhou Qishen inside more.

The moment she twisted the door handle, a strong smell of alcohol rushed over. The person who came was Zhou Wenting, who had just been unwilling to listen to advice and had been drinking heavily.

“What are you doing here?” Jiang Xiao instinctively asked.

However, maybe because he was too drunk, Zhou Wenting did not respond immediately after hearing this. Instead, he staggered forward two steps and spoke in a hoarse voice: “I didn’t do anything. I just suddenly thought of you and wanted to come and see you.”

Hearing this, Jiang Xiao’s brows furrowed instantly, and she took a step back calmly, narrowing the gap in the door a little, and warned: “You are drunk and walked into the wrong room.”

She tried to lower her voice to a level where only two people could hear it. One was to awaken his will, and the other was to control the imminent out-of-control situation.

But a drunk person couldn’t hear her words, even reaching out to try to grab her arm, but Jiang Xiao quickly avoided it with her quick hands and eyes. He could only hold onto the door frame next to stabilize his shaky body.

“Jiang Xiao, why are you with my uncle? What’s your reason for getting close to him?” He wanted to hear her say it was because of him, but the woman’s silence only further angered him, wishing he could grab her and ask her clearly.

However, the words that came out of his mouth had a different meaning: “Who gave you the courage to seduce my uncle?”

Jiang Xiao was speechless, too lazy to listen to his drunken rambling. She originally intended to just shut the door and be done with it, but she worried that if she didn’t send him away now, he might escalate things and attract other members of the Zhou family.

As she endured with her last bit of patience to shoo him away, she noticed Zhou Wenting’s eyes focused behind her. Turning around, in the dim light, a figure slowly approached.

Zhou Qishen wore a loose robe that seemed to come from nowhere, a cigarette freshly lit between his fingers, wisps of smoke swirling around him, giving him an air of dangerous mystery.

As Zhou Qishen got closer to them, the light from the corridor gradually approached him. Half of his face was shadowed, casting a stark contrast on his rugged profile. His eyes, as dark as ink, narrowed slightly, his voice carrying a strong sense of displeasure: “It was me.”

“Just that I seduced her. So what? Do you have a problem with that?”

Drunk, Zhou Wenting’s gaze became hazy. Upon hearing this, his initial reaction was disbelief and strong displeasure. But when he raised his eyes and glanced, all his attention was immediately drawn to the red marks visible on the other person.

Starting from the neck, the deep kiss marks were particularly striking.

Zhou Wenting suddenly realized that everything Jiang Xiao didn’t give him was given to his uncle.

Zhou Qishen’s demeanor was unlike the calm and seasoned man he knew from normal days. Instead, he exuded a lazy and relaxed air that had never been seen in front of him before. Zhou Wenting realized that it was only around Jiang Xiao that he would be like this, not bothering to hide his true nature.

Looking at the other’s cold and mocking gaze, Zhou Wenting’s drunkenness dissipated somewhat, and he sobered up. Glancing at Jiang Xiao, who Zhou Qishen silently protected behind him, he understood the embarrassing situation he was in.

Though drunk, one can be fooled into thinking they are not drunk. He actually remembered the time he spent with Jiang Xiao before and foolishly came to the door…

He clearly had no love for her, but now, the faint ache in his heart made him even more confused.

“This is the only time. If you cross the line again, I won’t let you off so easily.”

After Zhou Qishen finished speaking, he closed the door without waiting for Zhou Wenting’s response.

With the door closed, the farce finally came to an end.

Jiang Xiao was left bewildered by the drunken Zhou Wenting, feeling both amused and exasperated. He was normally a rational and calm person but why was he acting like a fool today, without considering the consequences?

It would have been fine if Zhou Wenting had just hidden away and been drunk by himself, but he had to come knocking on her door. Both sides were unhappy about it.

Separated by a door, Jiang Xiao wasn’t sure if Zhou Wenting had left. At this moment, only she and Zhou Qishen remained, and for a moment she didn’t know what to say or do. So she simply chose to escape: “I’m going to take a shower, you do as you please.”

Little did she expect that before she could step into the room, her wrist was tightly grasped.

Zhou Qishen looked at her with restrained eyes, saying each word clearly, “I said, I won’t stop this time.”

“I’ve lost interest, how can I continue?” Jiang Xiao instinctively retorted, interrupted by the bystander. If it were anyone else, they wouldn’t have wanted to continue, would they?

Zhou Qishen raised an eyebrow, his voice deep, “Why not?”

Jiang Xiao’s lips parted slightly, a hint of puzzlement flickering in her eyes but quickly disappearing. Did he mean he still wanted to continue?

Thinking of this, her eyes could not help but slowly move down from his face to his loose bathrobe. Although she could not see anything through the thick cloth, but…

After a moment of silence, Jiang Xiao blushed and coughed to cover her retreat, “Wait for me to take a shower, and we’ll continue.”

Zhou Qishen glanced at her with deep, narrow eyes, with a touch of teasing and determination in his gaze, calmly suggesting, “Taking turns seems like a waste of time. How about showering together?”

At his words, Jiang Xiao’s beautiful, watery eyes widened as if in shock.”That’s not necessary. I know you are anxious, but don’t worry. I promise, I will be out soon.”

The terrified gaze seemed afraid that he would force her into a bath together.

“Well then, you must be quick~” Zhou Qishen’s magnetic voice carried a smile, as if savoring it meticulously on the tip of his tongue.

Having said that, he released her hand and watched as she ran to the inner room like escaping.

As Jiang Xiao herself said, she spent less time today than usual, taking a few minutes to shower and blow dry her hair, feeling much refreshed. However, she didn’t dare to slack off and immediately gave up the bathroom space to Zhou Qishen.

Faint water sounds came from the bathroom. Jiang Xiao lowered her head to smell the shower gel fragrance on her body, similar to Zhou Qishen’s scent, a faint woody fragrance. She had always thought it was aromatherapy or perfume, but it turned out to be just shower gel.

But it was probably customized, after all, the bottle had no brand marks.

Walking boredly around the room a few times, Jiang Xiao suddenly thought of something. Walking to the table, she picked up her bag and took out the watch she had intended to give to Zhou Qishen.

A black velvet box, looking plain on the surface, but the watch inside was not cheap. She impulsively valued it for its limited edition and bought it for collection.

Although not specifically purchased for Zhou Qishen, there would be plenty of opportunities in the future to give other gifts. This time, she considered it a return for the jewelry he had given her.

Playing with the box, Jiang Xiao suddenly thought of the watches she had seen in Zhou Qishen’s dressing room that day, realizing something. Subconsciously murmuring, “This model isn’t rare. Will he have it?”

“What’s that?”
