Chapter 73

The sunlight streamed in, casting a bright light on the desk.

The window was still open, and there was a constant chirping of cicadas outside, with lush greenery. The smoke from the incense burner rose lightly and then dissipated.

Sang Yao let go of the hand holding Xie Yun’s sleeve. She looked at the sunlight sprinkled on the table, then looked at Xie Yun’s handsome face, and couldn’t help but take a step back.

This sentence contained three pieces of information: what to do, where to do it, and when to do it.

None of these did not surprise her, to the point that her mind went blank for a while. She stuttered and asked, “Now?”

Xie Yun’s hands were folded on his lap, and he seemed very satisfied with his proposal. He nodded and affirmed, “Now.”

The sunlight shone on his fair side face, and he sat there neatly dressed, not feeling that his proposal was any different from public indecency in broad daylight. For most people, intimacy with others should be chosen at an appropriate time.

Like late at night.

At that time, the candlelight would gently flicker, the outside would be silent, and the cold moon would be high in the sky, which was the time to rest. Sharing a bed, you would sleep together. The word “sleep” could evoke various thoughts, so nighttime might be more likely to arouse desires.

To be honest, Xie Yun didn’t quite understand. He thought that both day and night were good times to do things, after all, from the moment she opened her eyes to the moment she fell asleep, she was constantly emitting temptation in front of him.

That kind of temptation was hard to describe in words. But it was extremely clear in his mind, and the longer he was with her, the clearer it became.

He couldn’t even find anyone or anything from his barren twenty years that could be compared to her.

Because everything else was not as vivid as her. He wanted to see her, to touch her, and to possess her was still not enough.

Humans probably would never be able to avoid the phrase “insatiable desires.”

Because he didn’t think of her this way from the beginning.

Clearly, it was a long time ago.

In the palace several years ago, outside the palace gate half a year ago, when she looked at him from afar, it didn’t stir up waves in his heart. It was just like a feather, lightly falling onto the lake. At that time, he just wanted her not to cry.

Compared to the initial strangeness, Xie Yun now could very well face his own thoughts.

But obviously, Sang Yao couldn’t face his thoughts for the time being.

She quietly raised her hand and clasped the hem of her clothes, as if she was afraid that Xie Yun would force himself on her. Subconsciously, she shook her head and negotiated, “Let’s do it at night.”

Xie Yun stared at the pretty young lady in front of him, slightly surprised. He thought she would first refuse the place and then refuse the time.

Xie Yun didn’t reach out to her but patiently asked, “Why wait until night?”

Sang Yao glanced at the wide-open window, and Xie Yun also looked over. He reminded her, “We can close the window.”

Sang Yao’s cheeks flushed, and she said, “But… it’s still daytime.”

She whispered, “Do we need to practice other things first? I haven’t learned last night’s yet.”

Xie Yun said, “No new learning, just review.”

Sang Yao pinched her fingers, still unable to accept the feeling of being completely naked in broad daylight. Just listening to it made her feel ashamed, so she begged him, “Can we do it at night?”

Xie Yun honestly said, “At night, it’s too dark to see.”

Sang Yao was a little anxious. She whispered, “There’s nothing to see. Aren’t you always able to…”

Xie Yun didn’t speak.

The two of them locked eyes.

Sang Yao was the first to back down, after all, she was the one asking for help, so she was at a disadvantage. Puffing up her cheeks, she whispered, “And my hands are still sore.” (miduxs)•(com)”

She lightly bit her lower lip, the blush on her face had not faded, saying this seemed like she was enduring great shame.

Xie Yun looked for a long time, but couldn’t hold back, reaching out to grab the girl’s delicate wrist, bringing her in front of him, and lowering his voice, “You don’t need to move.”

Sang Yao was stunned for a moment, “Really?”

Xie Yun nodded. Then he answered the question Sang Yao had asked at the beginning, “I haven’t seen enough.”

Is it that good-looking? Sang Yao bit her lip, thinking Xie Yun had changed. She could feel Xie Yun coaxing her to undress, his coaxing was too obvious, he was angry just now, and now he couldn’t get enough.

Sang Yao lowered her head, “But…” After hesitating for a long time, she still couldn’t say the words of refusal.

Because after last night, she didn’t feel particularly resistant to this matter, she thought about it, if this could make Xie Yun not angry, it seemed okay.

Anyway, she had already read it yesterday.

And being watched all night, she was a little numb. So when she heard the words “undress” again now, she didn’t feel as confused as she did at the beginning.

And another reason why she didn’t like being exposed in front of Xie Yun, besides being shy, was that she didn’t think she looked good.

But when Xie Yun praised her beauty that day,

after a few beautiful words, she felt that Xie Yun was not lying to her, nor was he consoling her. Because his tone sounded very sincere.

Since then, she has inexplicably had a different mindset, that having a large chest might not be something to feel inferior about. Everyone has their own beauty, and she has hers.

After hesitating for a moment, Sang Yao thought, should she show him a glance later? Then immediately put on her clothes.

She gave up struggling and asked him with some regret, “So we’re not going to kiss at noon today?”

Xie Yun pursed his lips at her words, his eyes slightly dark, and he didn’t answer immediately.

Her change in expression was seen by Xie Yun.

She looked delicate and weak, but strangely, she could always easily stir up waves in him. A look, a word, anything.

Just when Sang Yao thought they really weren’t going to kiss, Xie Yun suddenly pulled her into his arms, and Sang Yao, not standing steady, sat on his lap.

Xie Yun’s hand fell on her waist, and the two looked into each other’s eyes. Sang Yao could hear her heart beating fast.

In this somewhat mysterious atmosphere, with a hint of suggestion, Sang Yao tentatively, slowly wrapped her arms around his neck. Then, under his gaze, she took the initiative to lower her head and lightly touched his lips.

Then he hugged her tightly, taking the lead. After kissing for a while, for convenience, she found that she had somehow straddled him again.

The front of her clothes was somewhat messy, she hugged him, then rested her chin on his shoulder, her voice still carrying a soft pant, and she didn’t forget to coax him, saying, “Don’t be angry.”

Xie Yun kissed her cheek lightly and asked her softly, “Do you know why I’m angry?”

Sang Yao felt a little itchy, but she didn’t avoid it. Instead, she replied, “Because I don’t trust you?”

Xie Yun denied, “Besides that.”

Sang Yao didn’t know why, but she felt a certain intimacy with him.

Sang Yao felt that she actually didn’t need to undress anymore, as he was no longer angry.

She skillfully raised her neck, making it easier for his kiss to reach her neckline, and then tried, “Because you didn’t want to in the first place?”

As the neckline widened a bit, Sang Yao felt something was strange. She couldn’t describe it, but she just felt that today was different from yesterday.

Yesterday she wasn’t wearing such a complicated outfit, and he had unfastened it very easily.

After a moment, in the escalating chaos, Xie Yun whispered in her ear, “Guess right and there’s a reward.”

This made Sang Yao somewhat sober. At that moment,

she was placed on the desk.

Sang Yao tried to say a few answers, but they were all wrong. As her clothes decreased, she felt a little scared, and in the end, she was incoherent.

Clutching the last piece of clothing on her body, she trembled and said, “That’s enough… I want to get up.”

The nakedness below her made her feel insecure, especially since Xie Yun was standing between her legs. Xie Yun lowered his head to kiss her lips, then said harshly, “Keep guessing.”

Sang Yao was too preoccupied to guess the riddle. Her head was dizzy, and she couldn’t say anything, randomly guessing a few times, but Xie Yun said she was wrong every time.

She was extremely uncomfortable, and tears welled up again.

Xie Yun kissed away her tears, saying, “Why cry?” Sang Yao didn’t know why she was crying, she just felt more ashamed than last night.

After comforting her for a while, Xie Yun picked her up and put her back on the couch, which made Sang Yao feel a little safer. She hugged him proactively and said pitifully, “Don’t make me guess anymore.”

After some thought, she became a bit unreasonable, “But I still want the reward.”

Xie Yun looked at her watery eyes and said, “You’ll get it tonight.”

Sang Yao was very curious, feeling a bit calmer now, and her shame faded a bit. She pinched his fingers, acting like a spoiled child, and said, “Tell me.”

Xie Yun pressed her hand down and said, “Do you really want to know?”

Sang Yao hmmed.

Xie Yun lifted her chin, looking at her expectant eyes. His Adam’s apple rolled, “But you don’t seem to be ready yet…”

Sang Yao lay on him, naturally intertwining her fingers with his other hand.

Before he could finish, he kissed her again and changed positions.

Sang Yao responded instinctively. She felt that she liked Xie Yun’s kissing, except that sometimes he was too forceful and made her uncomfortable.

Everything was normal until she felt Xie Yun’s kisses moving too far down. Sang Yao curled her toes, blushing, and said, “…Don’t kiss there.”

But Xie Yun not only didn’t stop from her lower abdomen but became even more intense.

By the time Sang Yao wanted to change her mind, it was almost too late.

She reached out in a panic, urgently saying, “Wait wait wait! You–“

Sang Yao gasped, her voice suddenly stopping. Her toes curled together tightly.

★

Fifteen minutes later.

Sang Yao lay on the bed, feeling as if all hope was lost, covering herself tightly with the blanket, with only a small delicate jade foot exposed. It seemed to be telling of its owner’s shame and indignation.

Xie Yun wasn’t on the bed. He sat at a round table not far away, still neatly dressed, his gaze falling on the rumpled bedding on the bed, then quietly drinking tea and rinsing his mouth.

Every sound in the room was amplified, including

The Gentle Sound of Water

It was a hot summer day, and Sang Yao was covered in sweat, she didn’t want to go out. She couldn’t bear to look at Xie Yun’s cold face anymore. No, she felt like she couldn’t face Xie Yun at all now.

A man’s voice came from outside, deliberately slow, “How much longer are you going to stay inside?” Sangyao felt like crying at his words.

She wrapped herself tighter in the blanket, thinking she wouldn’t go out even if she suffocated. He rinsed himself briefly, poured a cup of tea, and said, “Don’t be shy.”

Sangyao ignored him.

Xieyun continued, “If there’s anything you’re not satisfied with, you can tell me. Although I don’t have much experience, I think I can do better. We can practice together in the future.”

Shameless, really shameless.

Sangyao crossed her legs, not wanting to practice with him. She resented that Xieyun clearly liked her a lot and didn’t mind her at all.

After a while, Xieyun stood up and walked towards her. He bent down, pulled the blanket aside, and effortlessly pulled the blushing girl out from under it.

The cool air refreshed Sangyao.

But she still kept her head down, unwilling to look at him. Xieyun pinched her chin gently, forcing her to look at him, displeased, “You’re not going to admit it now?”

Sangyao looked at his frosty face.

He was still as clear and clean as frost, with a clean and cold demeanor. But as she looked, Sangyao’s gaze involuntarily fell on his thin lips.

She pursed her lips, thinking that she had said she would wait until evening, but he still didn’t agree. At least she would bathe in the evening, which she hadn’t done just now. Thinking of this, Sangyao felt like giving up. She was about to cry again.
