Chapter 12: Morning
His mind was in a muddle, his consciousness unable to focus. He could only numbly think of scattered things, completely unaware of his own existence.
Su Yu squinted his eyes. He was lying by the floor-to-ceiling window, the coldness of the metal imprinted on his back. His just-awakened consciousness was instantly extinguished by the fleshy feeling that pounced on him. The hot breath from his nose brushed against his face, and the ambiguity made the enclosed bedroom heat up again. The primal desire easily crushed the weak sense of morality in his heart.
The girl, on a whim, had pulled him to a different place. As if she found it troublesome, she had simply pulled open all the curtains. The girl’s actions were impatient. The gap where desire was congested in her body was so empty that it was maddening.
Su Yu didn’t remember how many times it had been. He only knew that this time it hadn’t taken long. Humans are always good at learning. The girl was already familiar with these shameful things that she had been ignorant of not long ago. There was no wind outside, but the fragile glass was shaking in the middle of the night, making a sudden, crisp sound.
It was a thin window, but it was as if it separated two worlds. Outside was the civilized world of modern development, but inside, it was as if it had regressed tens of millions of years. In the hot and chaotic, primitive tropical rainforest, two crude, humanoid animals were lost in their primal desires.
The cool moonlight shone down, landing on the large expanses of snow-white skin that were exposed to the air. The moonlight, in the hot greenhouse, was assimilated into a viscous desire, and a thin layer of frost was on the fair and cool back.
The slender and soft waist swayed like a surging wave on a golden beach. The ends of her permed, linen-gold hair rose and fell on both sides of his ears. The fine sweat dripped from the wet ends of her hair at her temples and fell into his slightly squinted eyes, creating a salty and wet water mark, blurring his vision.
But he was completely unaware of this insignificant interlude. The boundary of his restraint had collapsed in an instant after he had seen a dazzling bright red. His mind was in a mess from the rising and falling waves, and his soul, following wave after wave of bone-deep pleasure, had abandoned his dirty body.
He was indulging in a viscous and dim yellow desire. This was what he was eagerly craving at this moment, so he couldn’t refuse the girl’s transgression at all.
They were hugging each other, becoming pure white lambs lost in a palace of lust. But they were still enjoying it. Desire slowly accumulated to its peak. The girl tightly gripped his shoulders, her body trembling uncontrollably. She suddenly raised her head, and her rolling throat, along with her rapid panting, escaped from her thin lips.
The tropical rainforest, which was overgrown with grass and trees, welcomed the high-temperature rainy season. The pouring rain suddenly fell, and the complex and dense leaves were beaten down by the raindrops. The long-accumulated dust was washed away, and the leaves were wet and hanging on the branches, as green as new.
The girl suddenly lowered her head to look at him. Her eyelashes, which were wet with sweat, trembled. Her face was flushed and hot, but her hazy eyes slowly returned to clarity. The drizzling rain had not yet stopped, and the desire in the girl’s eyes had been replaced by a deep love.
“So good, Zhiyan… so this is what it feels like to have someone.” The girl caressed his deep red eyelids. Her pale lips, after the loss of blood, were pursed, and a happy smile rippled at the corners of her lips. She endured the hoarseness and murmured to herself, “I really like Zhiyan so much. I wish we could be together forever.”
The period after the climax of desire is always the most sensitive. A little bit of tenderness can create a storm in one’s heart.
Su Yu stared blankly at the girl. His heart was soothed and softened into a pool of pink water. The lips that were about to open were suddenly blocked by a softness. The linen-colored hair once again covered his blurry vision. He whimpered and forcefully swallowed the things that were about to come out of his mouth.
…
A night of clouds and rain. The moisture that had accumulated in the large clouds was almost exhausted. The thick clouds that had been piled up in the sky had dissipated a lot, becoming a thin veil. The light of the rising sun shone through the thin veil and into the room, casting a square shadow on the dark red wooden floor.
Su Yu slowly opened his eyes. His mind was in a muddle, as if a blunt knife were stirring the viscous liquid. The memory of last night was covered with a layer of white mist. Only one sentence remained, which was carved in his mind by a blade, word by word.
“Is your name Zhiyan? I… I like you.”
His eyes opened slightly, a very small arc. The sunlight, which symbolized holiness, fell into Su Yu’s eyes. He subconsciously wanted to escape. He didn’t know if the reason for his fear of light was his instinct after waking up, or the guilt and remorse that remained in his heart after committing an evil sin.
His eyes, which had been hard to open, had to be closed in submission. He avoided the dazzling light, but his gaze happened to meet the girl in his arms. The girl was sleeping soundly, her thin, red lips so pale that it was heartbreaking.
The girl seemed to have been disturbed by his movement. She twitched her perky little nose, a smile on her lips. She shrunk her body against the only heat source next to her, and her slender arms wrapped around Su Yu’s neck, her head buried in his chest, rubbing against it.
Zhiyan… who is that?
Su Yu searched his memory for this strange name, but he had a gut feeling that he had actually heard this name before.
“Zhiyan… so good.”
The girl was talking in her sleep, a thin silver thread hanging from the corner of her mouth, flowing down her baby-fat face. He smiled and subconsciously wanted to wipe the water mark from the corner of the girl’s mouth. But his weak and powerless arm could only move slowly and with difficulty. He gritted his teeth, and a wave of soreness came from his lower back after the frenzy.
His long, slender fingers finally rested on the soft corner of the girl’s mouth. Su Yu let out a sigh of relief. He didn’t know why he had done such a childish and meaningless thing, wasting his energy. By the time he came back to his senses, it was already…
“Zhiyan… you…”
Su Xi was woken up by a slight itch at the corner of her mouth. She opened her heavy eyelids, and in her blurry vision, the boy’s handsome face was very close, his breathing clearly audible. Perhaps it was the sensitivity after the frenzy. The warmth that welled up in her heart was soaking her broken soul. She gently bit the finger that was carrying the other party’s body temperature. She had never felt that happiness was so close to her.
She gently licked the boy’s finger, her voice soft and sweet. “I’m hungry…”
“Hmm?”
Su Yu felt the tingling from his fingertip. The girl let go of the small canine tooth that was biting his finger, and the softness that was leaving made him feel a little lost. He asked in confusion, “Hungry?”
“Yeah, hungry.”
Su Xi suddenly raised her head, just in time to touch Su Yu’s lips.
The girl’s kiss was very light, the spring breeze gentle and soft, caressing the muddy land after a storm.
Su Xi’s moist eyes gazed into the boy’s clear eyes. This time, she found no resistance.
