Chapter 104: Love
The sun was setting in the west, and the night was expanding wildly from a corner of the sky. It was swallowing the surrounding light bit by bit, and the blood-red sunset was merging into the deep black. The noisy and cold wind of the night had finally extinguished this raging fire that had swept across the entire sky.
The curtains were blocking the thin and pale moonlight. The room was so dark that he couldn’t see his hand in front of his face. The coldness was seeping into the room from the crack in the bed, which was not closed tightly. It was so quiet that he couldn’t hear a single human voice. A thick novel was lying open on the bed, and it was rustling and flipping its pages in the airflow…
Suddenly, there was a subtle wind, which lifted the slightly swaying curtain. The moonlight quietly slipped in. The hem of the light pink dress was drooping by the side of the bed, and a pair of long and round calves were gently swaying by the side of the bed. They were exuding a milky white halo under the moonlight.
Besides a thin nightgown, she was wearing almost nothing. The loose nightgown was on her body, and a few wet and slightly curled strands of hair had fallen into her collar. With a slight movement of her body, a large patch of milky white was revealed. She curled her lips with a mischievous look and suddenly and deliberately leaned forward. The gentle moonlight shone through the gap between the buttons of her clothes, and a charming spring scene was almost inescapable from top to bottom.
She held her breath and listened. Their breaths were intertwined and were very close. She heard the sound of his heart beating under his chest, and his breathing was rapid and hot. His gaze was also nowhere to be placed.
His shyness really made her feel so cute.
Xia Qiange suddenly wanted to cry. Her dark and cold pupils were trembling in a watery light. How long had she been waiting for this day?
Her hand, which was by her side, was trembling. The thin blue veins were swimming in the pale and thin skin on the back of her hand. Every blood vessel was in an extreme state of excitement. Finally, the boy she loved was looking at her with such a loving gaze, craving her, and his eyes were even red and wet.
In the days when he was not here, she had not been doing well at all. She would use heavy and busy work to bury her hot heart. She was slowly fading in her day and night thoughts, like a bouquet of flowers that had lost the sun. Her petals would wither, and her branches would droop. But the first time she saw him, a wave of tenderness rushed to her heart, and she was like being bathed in a sweet rain.
Loving someone is a very painful thing, and unrequited love is a torture that drives people to death. But how could a person like her deserve to be loved? This was the price she had to pay for forcefully possessing something that did not belong to her.
She thought it would be great if she had not met Su Yu in her life. She would probably be lonely for the rest of her life. But that might be better than becoming a complete madwoman.
They were like sworn enemies who were torturing each other. They had messed up each other’s lives, but now they were holding each other tightly, as if they wanted to rub each other into their flesh and blood.
At this moment, her pain and her loneliness were all worth it. She readily accepted the sins she had committed. So what if her hands were covered in blood? She just loved him. And she was not a saint. She had been deprived of so many things. Why couldn’t she be greedy just this once?
Xia Qiange continued to lean forward, and their breaths were intertwined without any gap. She felt the body in her arms suddenly stiffen, and his back was bent and tensed like a full-drawn bow.
She was a little confused. She didn’t quite understand why the other party’s reaction was so great.
She suddenly saw a hand on her shoulder. His hand was very beautiful. Although it was pale, his fingers were slender, and his joints were well-defined. His palm was wet and hot. He hesitated for a while before he slowly rested it on her snow-white and smooth shoulder.
The two bodies, which were attracted to each other, were too close. The other party’s every move was easily grasped by each other. She heard the sound of swallowing saliva in her ear. She was happy and imagined the boy’s embarrassed appearance with his Adam’s apple rolling up and down. The ribbon that had fallen from his shoulder was suddenly lifted by a finger, and it was put on for her properly, blocking a large patch of the exposed spring scenery.
“Su Yu.”
“Hmm?”
“It’s a little cold. Hold me tight…”
There was a few seconds of silence in the darkness. Xia Qiange felt that she was gently held again. The other party had said “hmm” in a barely audible voice in her ear.
“This is so good. It would have been better if you had told me these things earlier. I’ve been waiting for a long time… so long that I was about to give up…”
“I’m sorry.”
“Yeah, I’m used to it anyway.”
They were just silently hugging each other. Xia Qiange couldn’t see Su Yu’s face clearly, but she could feel the warmth of the body in her arms and hear his breathing. The two of them tightened their arms, as if they were competing. They tightened, and then tightened again. Xia Qiange was held in his arms with cherish, and they were lingering in a lingering embrace, and their ears and temples were rubbing against each other…
The feeling of being held tightly by someone was really wonderful. It was not just warmth, but more like finding something that had been lost for a long time. She seemed to have been born with something missing, like a puzzle with a piece missing. All her flaws were interpreted as perfect at the moment of being filled in by her rebirth.
She suddenly remembered the first time the two of them had tasted the forbidden fruit. It was the happiness of being filled and satisfied…
She was finally no longer alone.
Tears fell from her eyes without her knowing, and they were like translucent and crystal-clear pearls under the moonlight, breathtakingly beautiful.
The tears slid down her cheeks and wet the back of his neck. Even the slowest reaction should have understood what had happened.
The other party suddenly became flustered, and his fingers were curled up in unease. She touched his wet palm and did not dislike it. She held his hand with her ten fingers intertwined, and his panic was instantly calmed.
Xia Qiange tilted her head and rubbed against Su Yu’s cheek. She was acting spoiled with a soft and delicate voice, and she moaned softly, deliberately dragging out her voice. “I’m still cold. Cover me with a blanket.”
The boy raised his head and met her gaze for a moment. He picked up Xia Qiange and placed her in the middle of the bed. He also got on the bed and leaned over to get the bedding at the head of the bed.
Xia Qiange suddenly reached out and hooked Su Yu’s neck. With a little force, she pulled the boy who was on top of her down, and he was suddenly pressed on her.
Su Yu was in a daze for a moment. His face was buried in the deep hollow of the girl’s neck, and the tip of his nose was on her thin and delicate collarbone. With a light sniff, he could smell the warm fragrance coming from deep within her collar. His body inexplicably grew restless. He closed his eyes in a daze.
“Does it… does it hurt?”
“Shh! Don’t talk.”
Xia Qiange held the boy’s head. She smiled silently. She could feel the other party’s breath on her sensitive neck. She then raised her hand and hugged the back of his neck, playfully preventing him from getting up.
“Su Yu, no… can I call you Ah Yu?”
“Yeah, whatever you want.”
“Then… Ah Yu, do you love me?”
“I’ve already said it. I love you.”
She had changed from her usual maturity and was suddenly as talkative as a little girl who was a bit of a love-struck fool.
“Then I want to hear it again.”
“I love you.”
“Then let’s never be separated in the future.”
This time, he didn’t answer. He leaned down and gently kissed her on the eyes.
