Hua Yan still looked innocent, completely unaware that she had done anything wrong. She even pointed to the dishes on the table and said, “Come eat.”
Lu Chengsha’s cheek still retained the soft warmth of her lips. His gaze uncontrollably fell on Hua Yan’s lips, which were full, naturally red, and vividly alluring. When she spoke, her white teeth contrasted sharply with her red lips, making them even more enticing. His mind kept replaying how enticing they were, and Lu Chengsha immediately closed his eyes again.
Hua Yan was puzzled. “What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?”
She immediately wanted to go over, but Lu Chengsha raised his hand to stop her.
Hua Yan ignored him, her knees already moving toward the bed. Lu Chengsha had no choice but to open his eyes, his expression clearly showing his helplessness. “I…” He paused, “I have been thinking about you since just now.”
Hua Yan also paused, her cheeks turning red. “Thinking about me for what!”
Lu Chengsha’s eyes lowered slightly as he spoke the truth, “Thinking about what happened before, I can’t calm down.”
What happened before… Hua Yan didn’t need to ask to know what he meant.
“So what, can’t you think about it?” Hua Yan’s eyes were bright, her face unconsciously a bit flushed. If it were someone else, she probably wouldn’t dare to be so bold, but Lu Chengsha seemed even more embarrassed than she was. Her heart softened involuntarily, and she exerted a bit of force with her knees, climbing onto Lu Chengsha’s bed while babbling, “You promised that you are mine, so touching you should be okay…”
As she spoke, her hand reached towards Lu Chengsha.
He neither avoided nor could avoid her, and in the end, he let Hua Yan’s hand fall on his cheek.
Hua Yan was a bit nervous, even more excited. She had always clamored to touch Lu Chengsha, but in reality, she had only dared to touch his fingers. Now, she felt an inexplicable, delightful sense of defiling a righteous hero.
If her mother were still alive, she would probably be very gratified at this moment.
Hua Yan gently caressed Lu Chengsha’s cheek with her fingertips, her face full of curiosity. Lu Chengsha usually had no expression and never blushed, but recently, she had seen it quite often, as if his skin had become thinner. His handsome face quickly flushed up to his ears. Her fingertips slid from his cheek to his lips, and Lu Chengsha’s mouth tightened, his eyes lowered, seemingly not daring to move.
She felt a bit like laughing.
But when her fingertips touched Lu Chengsha’s lips, Hua Yan stared at his slightly thin lips, recalling the previous scene. Her heart couldn’t help but tremble. The softness under her fingers reminded her that although Lu Chengsha’s kiss was gentle, it had been quite wild.
She could almost still hear the blush-inducing sounds of their lips and tongues entwining.
Hua Yan’s breathing faltered slightly, her breath lightly brushing against Lu Chengsha’s cheek.
He finally couldn’t resist and grabbed her mischievous hand.
This was truly unbearable.
Her fingertips felt like they carried an electric current, sending tingles wherever they touched. Moreover, she kept staring intently at him, standing so close that Lu Chengsha could almost smell the fragrance of her breath, which was identical to the taste between her lips and tongue.
Hua Yan’s hand was pressed against Lu Chengsha’s cheek. He slowly looked up, his dark eyes showing traces of restraint and lingering desire, all sinking deep into his pupils.
In a hoarse voice, he said, “You should get down.”
Though he hadn’t done anything, the sight made Hua Yan’s heart race again.
She really liked him no matter what he was like!
Lu Chengsha held her hand in place, preventing it from moving, but that didn’t stop her fingertips from slowly exploring his lips, even subtly slipping into his mouth.
Lu Chengsha pulled her hand out, her fingertips glistening with moisture.
It was utterly unbearable.
Lu Chengsha was holding her hand, caught between advance and retreat.
Hua Yan didn’t see anything wrong with it; she was just diligently touching him—or rather, touching him as she pleased.
“Don’t be so stingy!” Hua Yan said.
There was something she had been too embarrassed to mention: during the sect battle when they got drenched in the rain, she had wanted to reach out and touch the scars on Lu Chengsha’s body, but at that time, they clearly weren’t that familiar yet.
Now it was different! Lu Chengsha belonged to her entirely! What’s wrong with letting her touch him!
Hua Yan felt justified.
However, Lu Chengsha didn’t seem to agree. After listening to her, his expression changed slightly.
After a moment of silence, he said in a muffled voice, “No.”
Hua Yan was immediately displeased, “You promised before, you admitted that you were mine! No going back on your word!”
Lu Chengsha immediately fell silent again.
He was still holding her hand. Hua Yan propped herself up with her other hand, confronting Lu Chengsha for a long time until her knees, kneeling on the bed, started to ache. She simply kicked off her boots and climbed onto the bed with both legs.
Lu Chengsha immediately retreated a bit and released her hand. Turning his body, he prepared to get off the bed.
Of course, he didn’t manage to do so.
And he froze.
Because Hua Yan had suddenly hugged him from behind, he immediately felt a softness against his back. The girl’s hair, carrying an intoxicating fragrance, brushed against his shoulder and neck. Her hands tightened around his waist, and her chin even rested on his shoulder.
Hua Yan acted on instinct; seeing him try to run, she couldn’t help but hug him to stop him.
After hugging him, Hua Yan found it quite comfortable. It even reminded her of the time he carried her to seek medical treatment. Years of martial arts practice had given him broad and strong shoulders and back, providing a great sense of security.
Lu Chengsha’s back was as straight as a javelin.
“Don’t run,” Hua Yan said. “I haven’t even… uh…”
Lu Chengsha finally turned his head slightly to look at her. He sighed lightly, his expression becoming even more helpless. “I will end up wanting to do those things to you again.”
Hua Yan was stunned. Then, with a blush spreading across her face, she blinked and said, “Then just do it…”
Lu Chengsha: “…”
“I never said you couldn’t,” Hua Yan’s voice grew softer.
Lu Chengsha abruptly turned around.
Hua Yan tilted her face up, meeting his gaze. Lu Chengsha’s usually clear eyes were no longer so; they were muddied, mixed with indescribable emotions, like ink slowly dispersing in a glass of clear water.
Lu Chengsha lifted Hua Yan’s chin.
The next moment, he kissed her deeply.
Hua Yan had to admit once again that Lu Chengsha was a fast learner.
This was only the second time he kissed her, and he was already this skilled!
It was much more intense than the last kiss earlier that day, making Hua Yan wonder if he had secretly practiced.
This time, instead of supporting her waist, he cradled the back of her head, his fingers threading through her disheveled hair, gripping firmly, forcing her to tilt her head back, allowing for a deeper invasion… The kiss was so intense that Hua Yan felt weak and soft, unable to sit steadily. She had to wrap her arms around the young man’s neck to barely withstand it.
She really felt like… he was about to either devour or kill her.
When Lu Chengsha killed, his aura wasn’t as overwhelming, as domineering, or as forcefully taking… She clung to him helplessly, her delicate fingers curling repeatedly under the pressure, her lips and teeth only able to produce soft, whimpering sounds that even she found unbearable.
Oh God, how could these sounds be coming from her!
This was unbearable!
Realizing that Hua Yan was having trouble breathing, Lu Chengsha slightly released her lips, only to kiss her again moments later.
By the end, Hua Yan’s lips were numb, and Lu Chengsha was still lingering on them.
Though they hadn’t drunk any alcohol, the atmosphere was intoxicating, her eyes shimmering with moisture, her gaze misty and soft. She clung to Lu Chengsha, unable to speak, only able to breathe heavily.
When Lu Chengsha finally let her go, they could hear the night watchman outside signaling the time.
After kissing to his heart’s content, he seemed to gradually calm down, starting to feel that what he did was wrong. Covering his lips with the back of his hand, both of their heartbeats were exceptionally clear in the quiet night.
He softly said, “…I’m sorry.”
Hua Yan rubbed her face vigorously, realizing that even with inner strength, feeling emotional made her weak—it was terrible!
She thought with mixed emotions that it was perhaps a blessing that Great Hero Lu didn’t know what to do next; otherwise, she might not survive.
Her fingers couldn’t cool the burning heat on her cheeks.
Moving her somewhat dry lips, she murmured, “…It’s okay.”
Even normal conversation seemed difficult now.
The taste of Lu Chengsha still lingered between her lips and teeth, even her body was inevitably marked by it. Hua Yan straightened her wrinkled dress and suddenly remembered, “…Have you eaten yet?”
Lu Chengsha seemed to remember as well.
The dishes on the table were already cold.
As if finally finding something to do, Lu Chengsha immediately went to eat and asked softly, “Are you hungry?”
Hua Yan thought to herself that her mouth was still numb; eating wouldn’t bring her any taste. She shook her head and said, “I’ve already eaten.”
Lu Chengsha responded, “Alright.”
Seeing him pick up the chopsticks to eat, Hua Yan said, “Heat it up first.”
Lu Chengsha nodded, using his inner strength to warm the dishes. He wasn’t actually hungry either, but it gave him something to do and alleviated the awkwardness.
Hua Yan sat beside Lu Chengsha, watching him eat quickly and methodically, his eyes never lifting. Feeling restless, she couldn’t help but ask, “…How did you feel just now?”
Lu Chengsha choked a bit, then set down his bowl and chopsticks, his gaze lowered. He said seriously, “…Very good.”
Now it was Hua Yan’s turn to be speechless.
While feeling embarrassed, her heart overflowed with sweetness. She couldn’t help but rub her face again, which still hadn’t cooled down, her breathing becoming slightly irregular.
Lu Chengsha finally finished his meal, leaving nothing behind.
Then he placed his hands down, seemed to ponder for a moment, and calmly said, “If you want to touch, go ahead.”
Hua Yan was momentarily confused. “Huh?”
Lu Chengsha pressed his lips together. “The scars on my body.”
Hua Yan was stunned for a moment.
Lu Chengsha had already lowered his head, starting to untie the knots of his black outer robe. The sword robe, a uniform from Tingjian Manor, was always worn meticulously, fastened tightly up to the collar. Now, in just a few quick moves, he undid it and threw the outer robe onto the bed, followed by his inner garment.
Though it was her suggestion, Hua Yan suddenly felt nervous.
Lu Chengsha might not understand, but she did!
Especially since they had just been passionately kissing.
Though Lu Chengsha had borrowed her outer robe and inner garment for warmth before, there had been no suggestive thoughts at the time. Now, watching him undress in front of her felt completely different.
As he pulled open his inner garment, revealing the lean, strong lines of his waist and abdomen, Hua Yan couldn’t help but say, “Never mind…”
Her ears turned red.
Lu Chengsha looked up sharply, seeming confused.
Hua Yan took one look and found it hard to breathe. She stammered, “N-next time…”
Lu Chengsha glanced down at himself, a bit uncertain. “Is there something wrong with my body?”
Not only was there nothing wrong, but this powerful male physique was simply too perfect… Hua Yan covered her eyes, trying hard to dispel the images in her mind.
Oh no, it seemed she couldn’t go back!
