Lin Xiazhi rubbed her eyes twice, trying to get a clear look at the man.
The surroundings were far too dark. She couldn’t see his face at all.
Whatever. As long as he was human!
With hazy eyes, she quickly pulled out a face mask and put it on. Gripping the Bonebreaker weapon in her hand, she charged forward at full speed.
The other party didn’t seem to resist. When he saw her pounce toward him, he simply stood there like a fool, allowing the Bonebreaker to lock onto his… chest.
“Don’t move. As long as you obediently spend one night with me, this lady promises not to strip your bones.”
Without waiting for an answer, Lin Xiazhi deliberately leaned closer.
“Looking at you up close, you’re not bad-looking. You seem a little familiar, though. Feels like I’ve seen you somewhere before.”
The man pressed his lips together.
Noticing his reaction, Lin Xiazhi growled impatiently.
“Why are you keeping your mouth shut? Open it!”
The man let out a helpless sigh that sounded both amused and speechless before obediently opening his mouth.
The next moment, he felt a pill drop onto his tongue.
He tried biting it.
It was surprisingly hard.
“Swallow it.”
The man’s throat bobbed, and he obediently swallowed.
“Tsk. You’re even more obedient than the men at a pleasure house.”
Although Lin Xiazhi had never visited such a place and had never experienced romance herself, she had heard enough gossip from passersby over the years.
The first time was unfamiliar, the second time became easier, and by the third, it almost felt as if she were a veteran herself.
Inside her body, it felt as though countless ants were crawling beneath her skin. The burning heat was becoming harder and harder to suppress.
After letting out two mischievous chuckles, Lin Xiazhi grabbed the man’s high ponytail and dragged him forcefully deeper into the bamboo grove.
The scene shifted.
Before long, the man was pushed down onto a pile of fallen bamboo leaves. The girl’s burning-hot body followed immediately, pressing down on top of him.
Hearing her ragged breathing, the man seemed to be infected by it as well. A strange heat suddenly surged through his own body, as if something long buried was struggling to break free.
“You…”
He had only managed to utter a single word before she covered his mouth with her hand and tied a black cloth over his eyes.
“Don’t talk. We’re busy.”
Her throat was parched from the heat. She tore off her mask and impatiently began feeling around his body.
Suddenly, everything flipped.
In the next instant, she found herself pinned beneath his broad frame.
Small as she was, the pressure made it difficult to breathe, while her cheeks burned an even deeper shade of red.
“Mmm…”
The man instinctively braced himself against the ground, lifting some of his weight away from her.
Beneath the blindfold, a pair of eyes filled with restrained desire stared intensely downward.
His scorching breath brushed against her neck, making her tremble.
The fire raging inside her became even harder to endure.
Her body seemed to melt into warm water.
Unable to stop herself, she wrapped her arms around his neck. A soft sigh escaped her throat, her hoarse voice carrying an irresistible charm.
“Hurry…”
Receiving that invitation, the man’s heartbeat accelerated violently.
His eyes burned like flames.
At last, he stopped holding back.
His lips descended swiftly.
The moment they touched, both of them shuddered intensely. A satisfied murmur escaped from the corners of their lips.
After tasting that first hint of sweetness, the beast finally broke free from its cage.
What followed was a long night that seemed to pass in the blink of an eye.
When the first rays of morning sunlight filtered through the bamboo leaves, Lin Xiazhi frowned as the brightness struck her eyes.
Her waist ached terribly.
Her mind remained blank for a moment before she suddenly jolted awake.
Last night…
She seemed to have slept with a man!
OMG!
After twenty-seven years, she had finally tasted meat!
She wasn’t sure whether she should be excited…
Or even more excited!
Grinning foolishly, Lin Xiazhi turned her head slightly.
Then she suddenly discovered someone still lying beside her.
“!!!”
Afraid of waking him, she quickly sat up despite the pain in her waist.
The coat draped over her body slipped down, revealing skin covered in dark purple marks.
Then she looked at the man’s chest and neck.
A triumphant smile immediately appeared in her bright eyes.
The battle had been pretty intense.
After taking a fresh set of clothes from her space and changing into them, Lin Xiazhi endured the soreness and turned to look carefully at the sleeping man.
His eyes were still covered by the blindfold, leaving only his sharp nose and defined jawline visible.
Gently removing the blindfold, she finally saw his face clearly.
Mu Zheng!
Why was it him again?!
The girl jerked her hand back instantly.
Her heart skipped a beat, then began pounding wildly as if she had been caught doing something shameful.
Fortunately, fortunately…
He was a handsome man.
If it had been an ugly man, Lin Xiazhi was certain she would have buried the evidence and erased the stain from her life forever.
“Mmm…”
The sunlight was bright.
The man’s brows furrowed slightly, and his long eyelashes trembled.
He looked as though he was about to wake up.
Lin Xiazhi nearly jumped out of her skin.
Ignoring the agony in her waist, she picked a direction and fled like a stray dog.
One hand supported her back while the other swung wildly as she staggered away, baring her teeth in pain.
She only wanted to remain beautiful and carefree.
She did not want responsibility!
It had been pitch-black when everything happened last night.
There was no way he knew who she was!
The chaotic footsteps gradually faded into the distance.
Only then did Mu Zheng’s lips curl upward.
He slowly opened his eyes, which were completely clear and alert, nothing like someone who had just woken up.
Supporting himself with one hand, he sat up and quietly stared at the spot where someone had been sleeping moments ago.
Then he slowly dressed himself.
Finally, he rose to his feet and limped away.
Meanwhile, Lin Xiazhi staggered back to West Alley, supporting her aching waist.
Just as she reached the doorway, she heard some very unusual sounds coming from inside.
“Brother Chen~”
She raised an eyebrow in surprise.
It seemed Chen Feicai and Zhao Xiuxiu had already become completely entangled.
At least her efforts from last night hadn’t gone to waste.
Interrupting them now was admittedly a little rude.
But letting the two of them enjoy themselves peacefully wasn’t her style either.
With a wicked grin, Lin Xiazhi shoved the door open.
Sunlight instantly flooded the room.
The two figures inside had nowhere to hide.
The door slammed against the wall with a loud bang.
Both occupants jumped in shock.
“What are you two doing?!”
“Ahhh! Brother Chen!”
Panicked, Zhao Xiuxiu threw herself into Chen Feicai’s arms.
Chen Feicai hugged her tightly and hurriedly grabbed a robe to cover them both.
Still flustered, he looked toward the doorway.
The moment he saw Lin Xiazhi swaggering inside, his face turned deathly pale.
“Y-you… what are you doing here?!”
“Didn’t expect someone with ruined legs to still manage this kind of activity. So, was it any good?”
Leaning against the table, Lin Xiazhi sat down and glanced disdainfully at the marks on their necks.
Then she suddenly remembered the marks on her own body.
For once, she felt slightly uncomfortable.
“If you’re done, hurry up and get dressed. We have important business to take care of.”
The two immediately scrambled to gather their clothes.
When Zhao Xiuxiu touched a garment stained with filthy sewage water, she cried out in alarm.
She cast a resentful glance at Chen Feicai, her eyes reddening with tears.
The expression on her face was truly pitiful.
She had thought he invited her here for a private meeting.
She never expected things to end this way.
If her parents found out, they would certainly hold Brother Chen accountable.
That would be troublesome.
The more she thought about it, the more panicked and helpless she became.
Chen Feicai remained silent.
He knew Zhao Xiuxiu had suffered greatly.
Despite his filthy state, she had still stayed by his side.
For someone as proud as he was, it was rare for him to show such embarrassment in front of the woman he liked.
“Xiuxiu, I’m sorry. I’ve wronged you. Don’t worry, when we return, I’ll prepare the betrothal gifts and formally ask for your hand in marriage.”
“I’ll wait for you.”
Wiping away her tears, Zhao Xiuxiu quickly dressed herself.
Ignoring Lin Xiazhi’s teasing gaze, she clenched her fists, forced herself to remain calm, and left.
Only two people remained in the main hall.
The atmosphere immediately became awkward.
Noticing the clothes scattered on the floor, Chen Feicai unconsciously frowned.
After coughing twice, he gathered his courage and spoke to the spectator who was clearly enjoying the show.
“My clothes are in the room. Could you… could you help me bring them out?”
