Chapter 57
The room, without a lit candle, was dark. The scorching breath on her sensitive neck made her whole body tremble.
Lin Zhao’s hands were on the shoulders of the person in front of her, in a half-pushing, half-not-pushing posture. She was forced to tilt her head back slightly, her mind in a mess.
She couldn’t bring herself to push Chu Xihuan away with force, but if she let it go on, she couldn’t get over that hurdle in her heart.
She hadn’t said she had forgiven Chu Xihuan yet!
A few heavy pants escaped her nose. Lin Zhao bit her lip, her mind already a muddle. She felt that she had to do something. If she didn’t do something, what would happen next would be really unclear.
“A-aren’t you cold?” Lin Zhao tried to turn her neck from side to side to avoid Chu Xihuan’s kisses. Looking at the darkness in the room, not only was there no candle lit, but there was also no charcoal fire. How could it be warm to sleep at night?
“You’re very warm, so I’m not cold,” Chu Xihuan did not give her a chance to escape, and even gave her a gentle bite on the neck. “As long as you hold me tightly, you won’t be cold.”
Lin Zhao’s body temperature had always been higher than hers, and besides…
At this moment, Chu Xihuan’s body temperature was also rising due to a certain change.
But Lin Zhao was still talking about these things at this time.
Lin Zhao’s face was flushed with heat. She hadn’t expected Chu Xihuan to do such a thing after they entered the door. She was completely unprepared.
“Calm down!” Lin Zhao finally gritted her teeth and pushed her away a little. “Don’t think I’ll just pretend nothing happened just because of this!”
Xihuan has turned into a demon to bewitch me again!
Lin Zhao gritted her teeth and held on, feeling that the demon-like Xihuan was really hard to resist. But at this time, she was still angry with her. How could she compromise without any bottom line just because of her actions!
“Calm down?”
Chu Xihuan suddenly froze in place and looked up at Lin Zhao. But it was so dark in the room that she could only make out Lin Zhao’s silhouette with her eyes that had adapted a little to the darkness. She couldn’t see her specific expression at all.
But even so, she had a feeling of being angered to laughter by Lin Zhao.
When had it ever been her who had to tell the other person to calm down? She couldn’t believe that it would one day be used on her, especially by Lin Zhao.
What right did she have to say that!
“When I told you to calm down in the past, why didn’t you?” When Chu Xihuan said this, there was a hint of gritted teeth in her voice. She had suffered a lot from Lin Zhao in the past!
But this person, on the contrary, was now saying it to her. It had a taste of turning the tables.
Hearing Chu Xihuan’s words, a hint of embarrassment also crossed Lin Zhao’s face, and she was too embarrassed to speak.
On this matter, she didn’t seem to have much confidence to confront Chu Xihuan.
Seeing her like this, Chu Xihuan was angry. Relying on her familiarity with the layout of the room over the years, she grabbed Lin Zhao’s lapels and walked toward the bed, then pushed her onto the bed and sat on her waist, bending down to kiss her on the lips.
“What, you don’t want to feel it? It’s been so many years. Do you still remember my taste?”
The clothes Chu Xihuan had made for her, she knew very well, so it was naturally very fast to take them off. In just a moment, Lin Zhao’s undergarments were already exposed.
Lin Zhao bit her lip, not knowing how to react. Because of Chu Xihuan’s words, her mind couldn’t help but think of the past. Her throat bobbed, and she felt that she was about to lose face.
She was still angry with Chu Xihuan, but what was going on now!
Lin Zhao was a little on the verge of breaking down in her heart, but her heart was beating so fast. Hearing the rustling sound, her face was soon pinched.
“Lick,” Chu Xihuan’s suppressed voice came.
In an instant, time seemed to have turned back to their first time. A similar scene, the same words. In a daze, Lin Zhao thought that they had never been apart.
The slippery softness pressed against her lips with a great sense of pressure, and Chu Xihuan’s slightly trembling voice came from above.
“Don’t you want to see how much I miss you?”
Her throat slowly bobbed. Lin Zhao suddenly bit down with a hint of resentment, but the next second, her soft tongue quickly licked over, as if to soothe the momentary pain.
Chu Xihuan bit her lip, trying to control her trembling body, but at the same time, a sense of indescribable satisfaction welled up in her heart because of Lin Zhao’s actions.
She was probably despicable, using such a situation to soften Lin Zhao’s attitude toward her and once again grasp her likes and dislikes.
But it was useful, wasn’t it?
However, such an action, in the still-angry Lin Zhao, would inevitably have to bear the storm of her anger.
She tried to ignore the strange feeling deep in her body, but when Lin Zhao also lightly bit her most sensitive spot, Chu Xihuan’s body completely went limp. She wanted to raise her hand to push Lin Zhao away, but she found that she didn’t even have the strength to lift her hand.
“Lin Zhao…” Chu Xihuan murmured Lin Zhao’s name, feeling that she couldn’t take any more. She was very tired, so tired that she felt as if she could fall asleep the next second.
Compared to three years ago, Lin Zhao’s physical fitness was much better now.
Hearing her voice, Lin Zhao looked up at her. The room was dimly lit by the candle she had lit, but she could still see Chu Xihuan’s eyes closed, as if she were about to fall asleep.
She paused for a moment, wondering if she should end it here, but she was a little reluctant in her heart. She was greedy for this warmth.
She wished she could have more.
Chu Xihuan bit her lip, wanting to stop Lin Zhao but unable to speak. In the end, all her consciousness disappeared in an instant, and she fell into a deep sleep.
Only then did Lin Zhao dare to look at Chu Xihuan seriously and brazenly, her gaze carefully tracing her features, her lips curving up uncontrollably. At the end, she couldn’t help but give her a kiss on the cheek and lips again and again.
Although she was very angry with Chu Xihuan, she couldn’t help but still like her very much.
Lin Zhao gave Chu Xihuan’s lower lip a restrained bite in frustration. It was all her fault for being a demon, for bewitching her to the point where she had no bottom line or principles.
After biting, Lin Zhao carefully cleaned her up. At the end, she held her tightly in her arms to fill the emptiness of these years.
She always has a way to make me not angry. So annoying.
Lin Zhao thought defiantly before she fell completely asleep.

A rare ray of sunlight in winter shone through the thick clouds, and the weather was unusually bright.
Chu Xihuan slowly opened her eyes after she had slept her fill. Although she had slept her fill and didn’t want to sleep anymore, her body was still lazy and didn’t want to move at all. In fact, her whole body was so sore.
It was as if she had been living a pampered life for a long time and had suddenly been sent to do a day of hard labor.
Chu Xihuan endured the soreness all over her body and stretched. Only then did all the things from last night appear in her mind.
Chu Xihuan was speechless.
She felt a little embarrassed and turned over, burying her face in the quilt. At the same time, she gritted her teeth slightly, thinking that Lin Zhao was a little too much!
Thinking of Lin Zhao, her hand subconsciously fumbled on the bed. When she found that there was no one on the bed, Chu Xihuan immediately sat up, got out of bed, and got dressed, ignoring the soreness, a hint of panic in her heart.
She was afraid that Lin Zhao had left again.
However, when she opened the door and saw Lin Zhao in the courtyard, staring at the child, she quietly sighed in relief, composed her expression, and came up. “Sister, why are you here?”
She had asked her mother and the others to help take care of the child, but she hadn’t expected her second sister to bring the child over today.
Chu Ningyi’s gaze immediately fell on Chu Xihuan. “Why are you up so late? I’ve been here for a while.”
Chu Xihuan was speechless.
Ever since she had known that her second sister was that prolific author, she knew that her second sister was teasing her now. Her ears grew slightly red, but her expression was composed. She ignored her second sister’s words, lowered her head, and picked up the child who had stumbled over and hugged her leg, rubbing her cheek against hers and asking softly.
“Have you had breakfast? Are you cold?”
As she said this, she also touched the child’s clothes. She was well taken care of and was dressed like a little ball, so she probably wasn’t cold.
Sure enough, the child shook her head and replied in a muffled voice that she had eaten.
Lin Zhao, who was standing to the side, her face darkened at their mother-and-child-like appearance. She snorted coldly and turned to leave.
Chu Xihuan had only glanced at her since she came out, and then she had quickly turned her attention to the child!
Pah, she still doesn’t like that child!
Chu Xihuan looked at Lin Zhao’s retreating back with a mix of helplessness and amusement. It seemed that it was still impossible for Lin Zhao to accept this child for the time being.
After thinking for a moment, she handed the child to her second sister and asked her to help take care of her.
Seeing her action, Chu Ningyi raised an eyebrow slightly and looked at her with a teasing expression. “What, are you going to coax her?”
Even so, the two of them were still not completely reconciled?
Chu Xihuan silently glanced at her second sister, her face tense. Second sister has become a tease!
She didn’t speak, but turned and walked toward the kitchen. The moment Lin Zhao was about to leave, her heart had skipped a beat, afraid that she would go out to an inn again. But fortunately, she had only gone into the kitchen.
When she arrived at the kitchen, she saw Lin Zhao standing at the stove, busy.
She came up and wrapped her arms around Lin Zhao’s waist from behind, resting her chin on her shoulder, her voice very soft.
“Are you still not over your anger from last night? Why are you angry again?”
If she wasn’t over her anger, she would have to settle the score with Lin Zhao for not caring about her ability to bear it last night.
