Tenderness

This great battle lasted for who knows how long.

Until the sun set in the dusk.

Xiaobai was already numb. She didn't understand why the progress between her Chosen One and the female lead was so fast.

Before she could even react, she had been cucked!

Meanwhile, Ye Shu leaned against the headboard, his face as pale as paper. His cheeks were deeply sunken, his eye sockets dark, and his eyes devoid of life, looking exactly like a dried corpse that had been squeezed dry.

"Am I... am I still alive?"

The afterglow of the setting sun shone through the window onto his face. He struggled to raise his hand to block the glaring sunlight, but then it dropped down weakly.

He felt that even if he was still alive.

He probably wasn't far from death.

In stark contrast was Lin Qingxue.

At this moment, her clothes were completely gone. She nestled against Ye Shu's chest, revealing half of her snow-white shoulders. Her face was rosy, and her whole person looked as if she had just been nourished by a spring rain. Her brows carried a hint of spring romance; whether in complexion or spirit, she was doing far better than Ye Shu.

She not only had the naive charm of a young girl.

But also a bit more of the alluring charm of a mature woman.

Lying in Ye Shu's embrace, she happily narrowed her eyes, like a cat whose fur had been stroked smooth.

So doing this kind of thing was this comfortable.

The storybooks really didn't lie.

"I should be the first one to do this with this heartless man, right?" Lin Qingxue secretly rejoiced in her heart.

Senior sisters all hated this heartless man.

Everyone wanted to kill him.

No one was fighting with her over him, giving her the space to swoop in when he was vulnerable.

No, what did she mean by swooping in? The heartless man was hers to begin with; the others were the latecomers.

Thinking this, Lin Qingxue hugged Ye Shu's waist, pressed her head against his chest, and whispered:

"You are not allowed to let me down in the future."

Perhaps feeling that speaking like this lacked momentum and exposed too much of her true feelings, she stammered and changed her tune.

"Um, don't misunderstand, it's not like I like you. It's just that my innocence has been completely ruined by you, and now I can only be with you, which is why I said that."

Ye Shu didn't reply, only letting out a dry, hoarse sound from his throat.

"Water... give me water..."

Seeing him looking half-dead, Lin Qingxue curled her lips.

"Serves you right. Who told you to force me."

Hearing this, the already numb Ye Shu moved his eyeballs. To think there was such a shameless person in this world.

After doing this kind of thing, she actually shifted the blame onto the victim!

He lowered his head, looked at the rosy-faced Lin Qingxue, and indignantly accused: "Between the two of us, who forced who? Who was it that threw me onto the bed without a word, who forcibly stripped off my clothes, who forcibly kissed me, and who lay on top of me sucking blood like a leech?"

Being called out like this, Lin Qingxue immediately blushed.

"W-well, I'm a girl!"

She spoke with unjustified confidence: "Girls are always at a disadvantage. Besides, didn't you enjoy it at the beginning too? Obviously, the one who was most excited at the start was you!"

"I..."

Ye Shu's lips twitched; he suffered in silence.

When he experienced the battle with Ye Xiaosu, he thought that the women of the world were nothing more than that. At the very beginning, Lin Qingxue was also like this, complaining incessantly and retreating again and again, making him think it would be another easy battle.

But who knew.

This girl was clearly playing the pig to eat the tiger!

She only begged for mercy with her mouth, but her body grew braver with every fight, showing no signs of stopping. Later on, she didn't even pretend anymore, directly turning the tables and taking charge.

She was simply a lustful demon!

It wasn't until today that Ye Shu finally understood.

The novels were all lies.

All that stuff about women not being able to bear the pleasure was fake; it was all just acted out in storybooks.

In this world, there are only exhausted oxen.

There are no ruined fields!

The way he looked at Lin Qingxue now was like looking at a demoness.

And although Lin Qingxue was unforgiving with her words, she still obediently waved her hand, fetching a cup of water from thin air and bringing it to Ye Shu's lips.

"Drink up. Consider it a reward."

Ye Shu grabbed it and downed it in one gulp.

"Refreshing!"

He couldn't help but let out a sigh of praise from his throat.

This stuff tasted much better than saltwater.

"Do you want more?"

"Another cup."

Lin Qingxue poured him another cup of water.

After drinking seven or eight cups in a row, Ye Shu finally felt like he had come back to life, and his throat was no longer dry.

He had never felt so refreshed and clear-headed.

However, just as he turned his head.

He saw Lin Qingxue leaning in close, staring at him with glowing eyes, her lips curled into a meaningful smile.

"W-what do you want to do?"

Ye Shu's hair stood on end from her stare.

"Nothing."

Lin Qingxue licked her lips and used her small hand to draw circles on his chest. "It's just that, look, it's getting late outside. Shouldn't we... do something we love to do?"

Once she had tasted this feeling, she couldn't quit it.

Lin Qingxue only felt that the door to a new world had been opened, and that she had lived the first half of her life in vain.

So she decided to ruthlessly make up for it!

Facing such a passionate invitation from a great beauty, Ye Shu silently turned around, lay on his side on the bed facing the wall, and closed his eyes.

No matter how Lin Qingxue poked him, he simply wouldn't move.

She stomped her feet in anger.

"Tell me, are you a eunuch? A great beauty like me is actively throwing herself into your arms, and you're actually indifferent!"

"Eunuch! Liu Xiahui! Hypocrite!"

"Soft-footed shrimp!"

"You just can't do it!"

However, no matter how she scolded, Ye Shu was like an old monk in meditation, his breathing steady, completely unresponsive.

Seeing that verbal attacks were ineffective.

Lin Qingxue suddenly rolled her eyes, and a wicked smile slowly crept up the corners of her mouth. She licked her lips, leaned over to Ye Shu's exposed ear, took his earlobe into her mouth, and gently teased it with her tongue.

"Hiss!"

Ye Shu's entire body trembled, instantly reacting.

Seeing this, Lin Qingxue took advantage of the situation, pressing tightly against his body, her breath smelling of orchids: "Your mouth says no... but your body is quite honest, hehehe."

"Useless thing!"

Ye Shu cursed inwardly, knowing that there was no way he could escape this calamity today.

He suddenly flipped over, pinning her beneath him.

"You asked for this!"

At this moment, Lin Qingxue turned her face away, looking shy and bashful: "It's not like I want it."

............

Until the next day, when the sky was just getting light.

Lin Qingxue's hair was messy, and she lay limply on the bed, her face full of satisfaction.

What kind of bitter life had she been living before?

Meanwhile, Ye Shu sat on the edge of the bed, contemplating the meaning of the universe.

In this brief moment of tranquility and silence.

Lin Qingxue suddenly spoke.

"Ye Shu."

"What's wrong?"

Ye Shu frowned, thinking she wanted to go again, and subconsciously scooted to the side.

But she didn't.

Lin Qingxue simply lay across the bed, one jade-like leg casually resting on his knee, staring blankly at the ceiling like a normal couple.

"I like you."

She said.

After speaking, she closed her eyes. With one hand covering her navel, she looked as if she had fallen asleep, with only the faint sound of breathing.

Ye Shu froze for a moment, then also spoke:

"I like you too."

"Mhm... thank you for liking me..."

"And thank you for your..."
