Chapter 168: Stop Your Bold Ideas
Why was she telling everyone everything?!
Lena looked around, relieved that no one had heard Mines’s suggestive words.
“It’s okay, Master’s is also delicious,” Mines said, licking her lips seductively, as if savoring the memory. “I wish this could last forever, but…”
“But?”
Lena still didn’t understand what Mines was hiding, a sense of foreboding rising within her.
“It’s fine, let’s go back.”
Mines took Lena’s hand, her gaze lingering on Lena’s face, as if trying to memorize it.
“That’s fine, today’s classes aren’t important anyway,” Lena agreed, following Mines out of the academy.
Suddenly, she stopped, turning to face Mines, her grip tightening. “Why did you lie to me?”
Mines paused, then chuckled softly. “I didn’t lie to you, Master.”
“You did, you’re hiding so many things from me, do you think I don’t know?” Lena pressed, refusing to back down. For her, not telling was also a form of lying.
They had shared so much, yet a deep chasm remained between them, a chasm that couldn’t be bridged with words or actions, a constant ache in her heart.
Like someone close to you hiding an important secret, the content of the secret wasn’t the issue, but the act of concealment itself.
Lena dreaded the uncertainty of the future.
One or two secrets, what kind of reborn person was she?
“Master will know, but not now.”
“So you still won’t tell me, about your profession?”
“I can only say… yes…”
Mines nodded slightly.
Lena couldn’t force her, but her words were incredibly frustrating.
Saying half the truth was like stopping mid-sentence, Lena couldn’t force Mines to reveal more, knowing she would only deflect and make excuses.
And pushing further would only damage their relationship, something neither of them wanted…
A deadlock!
“I respect your decision.” Lena touched the red spider lily in Mines’s hair, a symbol of tragic beauty. Mines’s appearance was like this flower, a startling crimson, like fire, like blood, forever intertwined, yet never truly united.
Mines had said she would leave someday, she must have her reasons.
“Thank you, Master.”
Mines stood on tiptoe, kissing Lena’s throat.
Her eagerness caught Lena’s attention. “Don’t do such dangerous things during the day, it’s too tempting.”
“I’m waiting for Master to lose control, whether it’s the rough Master or the gentle Master, as long as you fill my heart, satisfy my hunger, I won’t ask for anything more.”
Mines’s laughter was filled with desire.
“You sound like a prostitute soliciting customers,” Lena muttered.
If she could, she would kiss Mines senseless, ravish her completely.
But she couldn’t.
She had to stop, the consequences would be dire.
“Let’s go home,” she said to Mines.
“Not going to see Miss Angel?”
“No, not today, tomorrow.”
“But tomorrow is the concert, Master, are you sure you can win back Miss Angel’s heart before then?” Mines, understanding the priorities, stopped her advances.
“That’s why I need your help.”
Lena finally got to the point, a wicked smile spreading across her face. “We’ll discuss our strategy tonight, to ensure our plan is foolproof.”
“Oh?” Mines’s long eyelashes fluttered, a thoughtful expression on her face.
…
Lena spent the entire afternoon lost in Mines’s embrace, even forgetting to check on Stinky Jia’s progress, then being dragged back into bed by the insatiable Mines.
This was the most satisfying experience yet.
As if trying to make up for lost time, they spent every moment together, their passion boundless.
Halftime—
Lena was showering when Mines entered, wrapped in a towel, which fell to the floor as she embraced Lena from behind.
“Let me rest for a bit.” Lena finally felt a hint of fatigue, but she couldn’t stop Mines’s relentless pursuit.
“If Master is tired, let me take the lead.”
Mines pushed Lena into the bathtub.
Splash.
Water sprayed everywhere.
Then Mines entered the tub, her body displacing the water, creating waves.
Lena tried to escape, and Mines chased after her, giggling, like a servant pursuing her wealthy master, a reversal of roles.
Too much!
Lena bit her lip, frustrated.
There were only exhausted oxen, not barren fields, her energy depleted, unable to handle Mines’s relentless passion.
“Master~ Don’t run away~”
Mines’s seductive voice made Lena’s legs weak, and she slipped, falling to the bottom of the tub.
The warm water enveloped her, her mind finally finding a moment of peace…
Mines, seeing this, dove underwater, the water droplets shimmering like pearls.
Like a beautiful mermaid swimming towards her beloved princess, she gently embraced Lena.
They exchanged breaths underwater, their feelings unspoken, until their lungs burned, and Lena, carrying the almost unconscious Mines, surfaced.
“Master…”
Mines’s voice was slurred, but she smiled, her expression blissful despite her weakness.
“I give up.”
Lena chuckled, exasperated.
She truly couldn’t refuse Mines, the little dove she had taken in, who had become so… demanding.
Had she inadvertently spoiled her?
“There’s still time, Master, come and love me again,” Mines said, her breath catching, wanting more.
Lena shook her head. “No, you need to rehydrate, and so do I, and I’m hungry.”
It had been seven hours since they returned from the academy.
Even an iron man couldn’t handle this, let alone Lena, who wasn’t physically strong.
“But Master has already eaten so much…” Mines blushed.
“That’s… different!”
Lena interrupted, her expression exasperated.
Honestly, so shameless, didn’t she know what it meant to be tired…?
“After we eat?” Mines dried her hair, putting on a beautiful black dress. “Or does Master have other needs?”
Her alluring eyes, filled with a strange red glow, seemed to capture Lena’s gaze.
“Stop, stop, stop! Mines!”
Lena pleaded for a break, this was too much, she hadn’t even had a chance to catch her breath.
“Hehe~ I heard that those self-righteous gentlemen in high society love to vent their sadistic desires on slaves. If Master is also interested, I don’t mind…”
“So stop your bold ideas!!”
