Chapter 38: Cowardice
The dim, warm yellow light in the darkness cast a small, fragile light. The hazy halo seeped into the bedding, but it couldn’t enter the dark and dim eyes.
Su Yu was lying on his side, his head resting on a soft pillow. He was like an insect chasing the light, staring at the dim halo under the lampshade. His spirit was as listless as his body, which was bound by chains. He slightly closed his eyes, and his heavy eyelids were jumping up and down, as if he were about to escape from the cruel and cold reality and fall into a beautiful and illusory dream in the next second.
The faint sound of the door hinge turning was particularly harsh in the quiet darkness. Su Yu’s shoulders trembled uncontrollably, and the cold chains rubbed against his skin under the blanket.
He was suddenly wide awake. He felt the blanket being slightly lifted, and a little bit of cool wind blew in, sending a tingling sensation up his spine to his central nervous system.
“Are you still awake?” A gentle and warm wind brushed past his ear, and a few curled strands of hair fell on his forehead, a faint tickling sensation. But his hands were tied, and he couldn’t control this body of his at all.
“Does your back still hurt? It might still be a little uncomfortable after the medicine was applied just now. You should be more careful in the future. Lying against the wall like this today will press on the wound, and the wound will open again.”
Gu Zhi ignored Su Yu’s feelings and lifted the loose pajamas that were on his frame, exposing a large area of his back to her view.
The whip mark, which had almost cut across half of his waist and back, appeared in the darkness. The wound had already begun to scab over, and a dark, hard blood scab covered the gap in the torn flesh, ferociously coiled on his fair and clean back, waiting for the body’s regulatory mechanism to slowly heal the wound.
Her breathing quickened for a moment, and her hot breath brushed against the new, pink flesh, sending a tingling sensation.
Gu Zhi couldn’t help but reach out and gently touch the dark, hard blood scab. She could hardly believe that such an ugly and terrifying thing would grow out of the fair and tender flesh, just like… just like the violent monster that was hidden in her bones and blood, which was just covered with a gentle and alluring, beautiful skin.
As if she had gained some kind of twisted and deformed sense of identity from her own fantasy, she suddenly smiled, and a happy color dyed every inch of her cheeks. She suddenly wrapped her arms around Su Yu’s neck from behind and buried her head in the deep hollow of his neck, recklessly sucking in the other party’s scent, and then dyeing the boy’s body with her own scent.
The wife’s touch, which was filled with a craving for satisfaction, almost filled her heart. The monster that was hidden deep in her heart sank into the deep and dark sea, and the sea surface returned to calm again.
The clear water washed away the makeup and dust from her face. The deep shadows that had fallen on her features had faded a lot, but they were still exquisite and three-dimensional, and her beauty was impeccable.
She slightly raised her neck, exposing her porcelain-white, tender skin. The tip of her high and handsome nose moved up along Su Yu’s back neck. The alluring blush on her face became more and more intense. Her lips, which had lost the support of the bright red material, were bitten by her pearly white teeth, becoming more and more full and alluring, with a debauched blood color.
Su Yu twisted his body uncomfortably, and a few gasps escaped from his tightly pursed lips and teeth from the tingling of the wound. He gritted his teeth, and his voice was hoarse and low. “It doesn’t hurt anymore. Don’t touch it. I’m tired… let’s go to sleep.”
“Is Xiao Chan going to get up early tomorrow? Why are you sleeping so early?”
Gu Zhi chuckled and sarcastically commented on Su Yu’s current predicament. He closed his eyes in despair. A person with his hands and feet tied up could only be contemptibly reduced to a plaything to amuse others.
She turned off the bedside lamp, and the room was suddenly plunged into a pitch-black darkness. “Then since Xiao Chan is tired, let’s go to sleep…”
The hot breath moved away from his sensitive neck, and Su Yu suddenly let out a sigh of relief. He naively thought that the woman had really let him go out of the kindness of her heart. But his gradually relaxing nerves suddenly tensed up in the next second.
The woman was even more reckless and unrestrained than he had imagined. Her slender yet powerful arms wrapped around him from behind, holding him tightly. Her soft and plump breasts collapsed on his mountain-like, undulating back and swayed slightly.
In the darkness, besides a few alluring and gentle gasps that had accidentally escaped her full red lips, it was still silent. Her sharp fingertips were pressed against the position where his heart was beating, scraping against his flesh. The thin nerves on his back were almost lost in that inescapable gentleness, and they were limp and relaxed, and his tense muscles also softened.
It was the heart-pounding feeling of skin touching skin without any gap. The loose pajamas were lifted from his lower abdomen and stopped at his chest. Almost half of his body was exposed to the warm and ambiguous air under the blanket.
Gu Zhi blew gently on his soft earlobe. Her feigned ignorance and wanton flirting was even more able to shake the constraints of morality, thus arousing a sinful desire.
“Hmm~ I always like it when Xiao Chan is a little more obedient. But sometimes… a child who is too obedient won’t get a reward.”
The rich neroli fragrance was mixed in the air, pulling at his sense of smell. A faint sentiment rose in the air. Su Yu’s bound body couldn’t shake off her restraint at all. He was stiff and didn’t dare to move, but he could clearly feel her body temperature and breathing. A certain indescribable craving began to fill the atmosphere.
“Wuwu… no…”
“You really don’t want to? Really? I’ve already untied the chain on your hand. It must be very uncomfortable to hold back…”
Gu Zhi moved closer, her cool fingertips like a poisonous snake, wandering in a dark bush, and with its tongue, it pushed him into a dark and dead corner of an alley, recklessly and wantonly playing with the burgeoning and swollen desire in the darkness.
“Hypocrite!”
She laughed mockingly. The little dog’s body was much more honest than his mouth. He was clearly craving it so much, yet he still had to tell such a vulgar lie. This was simply more disgusting than the desire itself.
It turned out that everyone’s body had an ugly monster hidden in it, and her little dog was no exception. She was suddenly a little sad, and also very happy. Only two people with a dark side could support each other and walk on. They would just honestly expose each other’s flaws and live together as each other’s friends, relatives, and even lovers.
“Haha, so what… do you think this can explain anything? Can you only prove your love for me with this kind of thing? If so, Gu Zhi…”
Su Yu suppressed the huge pleasure that was rushing up his spine and into his cranial cavity. He said with a muffled voice, “You’re so pitiful.”
He reached out with the arm that the woman had untied and turned on the bedside lamp. The light dispelled the thick darkness. He propped himself up and looked down at the woman. This was the first time he had looked down at the woman. His dark eyes were filled with an undisguised pity.
Gu Zhi was pressed down, and she couldn’t react for a moment. She stared blankly at the pity in the boy’s eyes. These past few days, she had seen too many restless emotions in that clear and gentle eyes, anger, hatred, disgust… she had ignored them all. But she was deeply hurt by the pity that seemed to be the least aggressive at this moment.
She was stunned for a long time. Her entire seductive and alluring, plump body was exposed to the air without a single stitch of clothing. She didn’t care at all. After a long time, she finally took a deep breath, and a clear sadness and sorrow appeared on her exquisite and beautiful face.
That almost-real sadness brought a confusion to the boy. She suddenly used her elbow to hit Su Yu’s chest hard. He let out a muffled grunt and fell from his high position. He regretted this opportunity. If it wasn’t for the fact that his ankle was still bound, a full of unwillingness would have been revealed on his face.
“You’ll fall in love with me sooner or later. If I can’t have your heart, then I’ll have your body. We’ll be friends, relatives, and each other’s lovers. You can’t escape.”
Gu Zhi flipped over and completely pressed the boy down. The fragile her seemed to have disappeared like an illusion, and she was fiercely killed in her heart. She squinted her eyes and stared at Su Yu, and they were filled with a cold and violent restlessness. She caressed the emotional red that had appeared at the corners of the boy’s eyes after she had wantonly played with and teased him.
She warned him fiercely, as if to retaliate for her momentary loss of composure. “You’ll regret it. You’ll be crawling at my feet, wagging your tail and begging for my favor, crying and begging me to give you… this reward that you rejected today.”
