Spring passed, autumn came, and the leaves turned yellow.
The Crown Prince's Residence.
Qian Renxue looked at the boy before her, who had grown quite a bit taller. She pursed her lips and gently lifted his chin with a finger.
"Are... are you leaving?"
"Yes."
Qian Renxue looked a little dejected, but her hand did not stop moving.
"Come... let me take care of you tonight."
Su Li shifted the bracelet and wondered how he had let himself fall into this trap.
Still, it was fine.
He should be able to break free of this thing.
Su Li let her have her way for a while. When the time was right, he rolled over and took charge.
Qian Renxue had thought it would be much like last time. Even if he could not last as long, he would not be hopelessly bad.
Reality slapped her in the face.
Her slender legs were gripped tight. His utterly relentless exploration left her head spinning and her eyes unfocused.
Even if she wanted to stop, the show had already begun. How could they quit halfway?
Night fell.
Qian Renxue lay quietly on the bed, her pretty face flushed pink and her eyes closed. She breathed evenly, a faint smile on her lips.
She clung to Su Li like an octopus, insisting he was not allowed to leave tonight.
"Su Li... if we end up on opposite sides someday, what should we do?"
"I don't know."
"Hmph. I'll defeat you and lock you up so only I can have you. Ning Rongrong and the others can be tied up and made to watch me bully you!"
"?"
Qian Renxue nuzzled his chest, mumbled a couple more things, then fell fast asleep.
The lesson just now had been exhausting. She could no longer stay awake.
