1215 He Dreamed of Her Dream
The curtains were tightly drawn, and only a ray of bright sunlight flowed in through the gap. Half of it fell on the wooden floor, while the other half was reflected on the white corners of the quilt that dangled off the bed messily.
There was still a faint sweet smell in the air.
The light in the room was dim, and the bulge formed by the quilt on the bed was outlined by the faint light.
Under the blanket, the two people slept in each other’s arms.
Lu Huaiyu slowly opened his eyes as his rationality gradually returned.
He looked at the young girl in his arms.
Now, she was truly his young girl.
She had not gotten much sleep throughout the whole night of their activities. In the end, she had not been able to take it anymore. In a husky voice, she cried and begged before he finally let her go to sleep.
She was now sleeping deeply. Her long hair was spread out messily, her eyelashes were thick and curly, and there were still tears at the corner of her eyes. Her full rosy lips were still red and swollen.
He observed her quietly for a while. Then, unable to help himself, he leaned over to kiss the space between her eyebrows.
The kiss was as light as a feather, gentle and precious.
However, feeling a little ticklish, her eyelashes fluttered slightly. However, she was so exhausted that she did not even have the strength to open her eyes.
“… Please, don’t do it anymore…”
Her voice was extremely hoarse, and there was a hint of pitiful pleading in her voice at the end of her sentence.
As she spoke, her soft little hand pressed against his hard and flat chest as she tried to retreat.
In just one night, she was already very skilled executing this movement.
After all, when people were in danger, it was instinctual for them to hide and escape.
It was the same reason for submissive behavior and pleading.
Because of this action, the quilt covering her body slipped down.
On her slender and fair neck, there were shocking red marks that spread all the way down to her collarbones which did not end there.
Some were light red in color while most of them were dark red. The layers of red intermingled on her delicate and clear skin that looked like the color and texture of soft creamy cheese, forming a breathtaking color and a charm that shook the soul.
What’s more, one could only see a faint outline of a snow-white mound constantly rising and falling with each breath, that was hidden beneath the blanket and in the shadows.
It could not be seen.
A faint smile flitted across his lips as he allowed her to pull back, but then… she found her naked back pressed against the warm palm of his hand.
That slightly rough touch instantly woke her up a little, and she opened her eyes abruptly.
Her eyes seemed to be swollen from crying, and the corners of her eyes were red. When she looked over at him, her back was still tense. Much like a frightened rabbit.
He caressed her back gently, the skin under his palm feeling unbelievably smooth and soft.
“Be good, I won’t provoke you.”
He coaxed.
Not believing a single word, she continued to stare at him suspiciously.
After last night, his words no longer held any credibility with her.
She raised her leg to kick him, but he noticed it and immediately raised his long leg to suppress her easily. At the same time, his hand slid from her back to her waist and he pulled her into his arms again.
His eyes darkened, and his husky voice carried a warning.
“Don’t move around.”
She immediately realized that the man in the morning was not to be trifled with. She gritted her teeth and wanted to resist, but she was afraid. In the end, she could only mutter angrily before going back to bed.
At first, she was still very tense, but after seeing that he had not really moved, she could not resist the fatigue and eventually leaned against his chest again, falling asleep with her head tilted.
Her breathing was light and shallow. As she fell into his arms, it was as if she was pressing on his heart. It was such a light touch, but so hot.
He tightened his arms, rested his chin on the top of her head, and held her even tighter in his arms.
Only with their bodies pressed against each other, only with their breathing, only with this tenderness and sweet fragrance could she prove that she was really here.
She was right here in his arms.
He closed his eyes.
Last night, he had had a very, very long dream.
He had dreamed of her dream.
…
When Shen Li woke up again, she was hungry.
She opened her eyes in a daze and found herself still resting on Lu Huaiyu’s arm, her entire body curled up in his arms. The familiar cool cedar scent lingered at the tip of her nose, as well as a faint, sweet smell like a ripe peach.
Her mind instantly went blank.
In the next moment, a deep voice came from above her.
“You’re awake?”
It was a voice that was deeper than usual, and it rang out in the quiet room, sounding almost… extremely lazy.
This sound instantly made half of her body go limp, and even her ears felt tingly.
Subconsciously, she looked up.
The first thing that came into view was his protruding Adam’s apple, followed by his jade-like jawline, then his thin crimson lips and high nose bridge.
Finally, it was that pair of deep and dark phoenix-like eyes.
There was a faint smile in his eyes. It was obvious that he had been awake for a long time.
Shen Li reacted for a moment, but then everything from the night before came flooding back into her mind!
She instantly blushed furiously!
For a moment, she only had one thought in her mind: It would be better if she did not wake up!
Without thinking, she was about to rush away. However, the moment she moved, she accidentally touched something.
Her entire body instantly froze.
They had actually… actually…
Only then did Lu Huaiyu raise his arms and half-propped himself up to look at her.
Now, the teeth and scratch marks on his shoulder were clearly visible.
After taking just a glance, she hurriedly looked away as if she had been scalded. She did not know where to look.
Lu Huaiyu saw that she was extremely flustered, but found her really pitiful and adorable.
“Are you getting up?”
He asked with a smile.
She nodded vigorously as if she had grabbed onto a life preserver.
She had to get up… up!
She really could not face him now…
This thought had only just emerged halfway when it suddenly became stuck.
Because…
Lu Huaiyu had lifted the quilt and gotten out of bed!
She closed her eyes almost immediately, but at that moment, she could still see his well-defined abdominal muscles and his beautiful and perfect V-line.
He got up and casually glanced at the clothes that were scattered on the ground. He opened the closet and took out some clothes.
She had lived here before. Thus, although she had already moved to Skyleaf City, many of her things were still here.
With her eyes closed, Shen Li could hear his footsteps, the sound of him opening the closet, and the rustling of his clothes as he got dressed.
She grabbed the quilt and turned around to bury herself in it. However, the moment she moved, her whole body instantly ached!
“Hiss…”
She immediately slowed her movements, and she screwed up her little face in pain.
Hearing her voice, Lu Huaiyu turned around and saw that she had already hidden herself under the blanket.
The corners of his lips lifted slightly. He walked back and pressed one leg on the bed. He brought her closer with the quilt and pulled her out from under the quilt.
“Does it hurt?”
He asked.
She bit her lip and glared at him.
“It’s all your fault!”
Lu Huaiyu sincerely admitted his mistake.
“Yes, it’s all my fault.”
“…”
Why did that sound even more wrong?!
He kissed the corner of her lips and coaxed, “Come here and put on your clothes.”
She grabbed the quilt and refused to let go.
“I… I’ll put them on… myself.”
Lu Huaiyu looked into her eyes and raised his eyebrows slightly, with a faint smile on his face.
His gaze instantly made Shen Li feel as if the quilt that was wrapped around her body had become transparent.
She gritted her teeth and straightened her back, ready to reach for her nightgown, but she fell back down in an instant.
This time, she was finally truly honest.
He pulled her up.
