The Missing Husband Returned (28)

Xue Ci's shoulders trembled slightly.

Realizing the other person was using vulgar language, he awkwardly turned his face away, pretending not to hear.

Seeing his trembling eyelashes, Lu Xiunan felt as if her heart was being scratched by a cat's claws.

His prominent Adam's apple bobbed back and forth as he leaned close to Xue Ci's soft, white earlobe, his voice becoming even lower and hoarse.

"I won't force you if you don't want to; I'm just saying I'm willing to take this."

The bad man is bad because he knows Xue Ci is soft-hearted and deliberately uses her sympathy to get what he wants.

really.

Xue Ci's attitude became hesitant, and her brows furrowed slightly.

Lu Xiunan was not in a hurry at all, patiently waiting for Xue Ci's reply.

One arm had just been stitched up and was wrapped in gauze, while the other was also busy gripping Xue Ci's wrist.

After rubbing back and forth with my fingertips, I pinched the soft flesh at the base of my thumb and forefinger.

Her skin turned red very quickly.

Xue Ci was truly pampered and had a sensitive constitution.

No wonder he couldn't stand Zhao Ying, that rough country bumpkin.

I felt very uncomfortable making those estimates every time.

"Why are you always covered in pink or white?" the man chuckled softly. "It makes me want to lick you all over."

Xue Ci was stunned for a moment, her face flushed. "Don't joke around."

"I'm not kidding," Lu Xiunan said seriously, "I really want to lick it."

Xue Ci couldn't pull her hand away from the pressure, so she started making excuses, saying that it would make her uncomfortable and that patients should rest more.

He earnestly tried to persuade the other party.

Lu Xiunan asked in a low voice, "Did you try to fool my brother like this before?"

Xue Ci: "... Wh-what?"

"My brother ate your tongue, ate your chest, and you never refused. For a while, your lips were swollen every day."

It would have been better if they hadn't brought it up, because the more Lu Xiunan mentioned it, the more sour his tone became, and the air was thick with jealousy.

He had been lying low by Xue Ci's side for too long, witnessing countless scenes and swallowing countless jealousies, all of which he now unleashed at once.

He even carried you while showering and carried you to the toilet—

Blood rushed to her head, Xue Ci's fair cheeks flushed red from his words. She immediately covered the man's mouth.

"You... how could you!" Peeking at these things...

Xue Ci embarrassed and annoyed, probably not knowing what to say, and could only say indignantly, "Don't say another word!"

A weak force acting fiercely.

It looks great no matter how you look at it.

Lu Xiunan was so captivated that he couldn't take his eyes off Xue Ci. His tongue darted out and quickly swept across her soft, white palm.

Startled, Xue Ci her hand away and then looked at him with the eyes of someone who looked at a pervert.

Lu Xiunan, still savoring the aroma, asked, "Why do your hands smell so good?"

Xue Ci truly didn't know what to say, lost in thought. She glanced up unintentionally, only to be startled when her eyes fell on the man's arm.

The bandage that had been wrapped was starting to bleed from the previous movements.

Xue Ci gasped softly, "You're bleeding! Do you want some painkillers?"

"Painkillers don't work on me." Lu Xiunan stared at Xue Ci, finally giving in, "Then just look, don't eat."

Xue Ci pursed her lips.

My gaze swept over the blood-stained gauze strips in the garbage bag.

He lowered his head.

*

This was the only patient at the clinic that evening who needed stitches. After prescribing anti-inflammatory medication, the doctor told the patient to lie down and rest on the bed, "Don't move around too much; the bleeding has only just stopped."

They were from the same village, so the doctor naturally recognized Xue Ci, but he mistook Lu Xiunan for Zhao Ying.

Thinking the two had rekindled their old flame, she decided to leave them alone.

So they granted Lu Xiunan's wish.

The clinic's incandescent lights were very bright; you could see everything clearly.

Xue Ci was cornered, and Lu Xiunan was almost pressed against him. The surrounding oxygen was also taken away, and the temperature rose rapidly.

The heat gave her skin a rosy glow.

Xue Ci's fingers trembled as she gripped the hem of her dress and slowly lifted it up.

The man, who was not nearsighted, acted as if he couldn't see clearly and insisted on getting his face very close.

The hot breath sprayed onto her skin, making it numb and itchy, Xue Ci's shoulders trembled uncontrollably.

The intense heat gradually consumed his consciousness.

Before my brain could process what was happening, I was already being kissed by something sticky and hot.

He gasped softly, trying to push the other person away, but the closest person to him was Lu Xiunan's freshly bandaged wound.

So, feeling wronged, she withdrew her hand.

Lu Xiunan had only ever secretly indulged in this under the cover of darkness, never openly. This strange and pleasurable feeling spread from his scalp to his toes, making him breathe heavily and completely lose his mind, like a wild beast that might swallow Xue Ci whole at any moment.

Depicting back and forth.

It quickly became round and bulging.

This time, Lu Xiunan saw it; the water stains covered it, sparkling like little plum blossoms in the snow.

It smells so good.

He then released her. Xue Ci's eyelashes were already stained with tears, her cheeks were flushed, as if she couldn't breathe, and her lips were slightly parted, revealing a small pink tongue inside.

"It's swollen, Xiao Ci..." Lu Xiunan switched to a more affectionate address, as if he had suddenly transformed from a younger brother to a husband, "You look so beautiful."

Xue Ci's eyes were misty from being bullied, and she didn't dare to speak loudly, "... Is it... is it done yet?"

Her voice sounded pitiful, yet it easily aroused dirty desires in men.

Lu Xiunan, who had originally planned to stop, turned his gaze intently from the swollen area to the lips that had been bitten and were now wet.

The air was warm, and it was very quiet.

Xue Ci felt like she was about to melt away.

Lu Xiunan: "Can you kiss me for a little while?"

Xue Ci, barely conscious, looked at him blankly. "Didn't you say you'd only look...?"

Lu Xiunan seemed not to hear.

"Never mind."

"I can do it myself."

Lu Xiunan's understanding of the law was very profound; the theoretical knowledge he had learned finally had a chance to be put into practice.

My lips were completely enveloped, feeling both hot and numb.

Xue Ci to keep her face up to make herself feel better during the long kiss, but no matter how she tried, her mouth was still sore.

She whimpered several times, then placed her fingers on the broad shoulder, signaling the other person to let go.

But the man became even more excited and wrapped his fingers tightly around the knot.

By the time Xue Ci realized what was happening, they had already been on the bed for a short while.

The noble man didn't mind the crudely made old stool; he sat on it and looked up at Xue Ci's face.

Seeing the other person's dazed expression as he kissed them, their lips red and moist, he felt his body tremble with excitement.

It smells so good.

How can it smell so good?

Seeing that Xue Ci had regained consciousness, Lu Xiunan immediately grabbed her wrist and said a lot of things.

He asked Xue Ci if she could be his wife, saying they could get their marriage certificate tomorrow; he had already prepared his ID card and household registration book.

Xue Ci away from his gaze after hearing his words and slowly withdrew her hand.

He's not as naive as before; he knows that if he refuses now, he'll probably get kissed a second time.

So I tried a roundabout approach. "You should focus on healing your injury first..."

"We need to take photos for our wedding."

With just a few simple words, Lu Xiunan was driven to the brink of despair.

"Then let's get our marriage certificate once I'm healed." Lu Xiunan's voice trembled slightly. "We're in this state, we definitely have to get married, otherwise it's no different from being a scoundrel."

Xue Ci felt uncomfortable all over from the kisses.

"... Then you should get some rest."

Lu Xiunan: "I'm going back to your place to rest."

Xue Ci had a premonition that she wouldn't be able to stay with Lu Xiunan tonight.

Perhaps the other party will use the excuse of getting married to make even more outrageous demands.

Xue Ci seemed to remember something and spread her hands towards Lu Xiunan.

Without a second thought, Lu Xiunan raised an eyebrow and chuckled, "Don't worry, I'll definitely pick the ring with the biggest diamond."

"..." Xue Ci awkwardly withdrew her hand. "Give me a call."

"He's already checking up on me after just one kiss. "Lu Xiunan's lips curled up slightly as he took out his phone from his pocket and handed it over.

He was very confident about the inspection.

Xue Ci opened her contacts, found Fu Yun's name, and dialed it.

Lu Xiunan's expression immediately changed. "What do you want with him?"

Tell him you're injured and ask him to come take you home.

Seeing that Lu Xiunan was about to say something, Xue Ci put her index finger to the center of her lips and whispered "shh".

Lu Xiunan obediently shut up.

The call was answered quickly, "Hey, Brother Lu, what's up so late? Did Xue Ci reject you again?"

Xue Ci: "..."

He was too embarrassed to look at Lu Xiunan's expression and whispered, "Hello, is this Fu Yun?"

The person on the other end was clearly taken aback. "... Xue... Xue Ci?"

Her voice immediately softened, and her breathing became rapid. "How... it's you?"

"Lu Xiunan was seriously injured, but he's received some basic treatment now. Would you like to come and pick him up? He's at the clinic in our village now."

They were good friends, Xue Ci thought the other person would be very worried, so he immediately hung up and drove over. But the other person didn't seem to be in a hurry at all, and even asked him if he was injured and if he needed his help.

Before Xue Ci could answer, she heard Lu Xiunan impatiently say into the phone, "Are you done yet? If you're busy, just say so."

Having known each other for many years, Fu Yun immediately knew that Lu Xiunan didn't want him to be a third wheel.

He recalled Xue Ci's nasal, sticky voice on the phone earlier.

Did you kiss?

Destruction is in the nature of a jealous man.

Fu Yun: "I have time, I'll come find you now."

Lu Xiunan gave an impatient "Oh," and then hung up the phone.

"Then you can rest here for now, I'm going back."

Xue Ci was about to slip away when Lu Xiunan got up and followed closely behind, saying, "I'm worried about you. What if Sun Xingmin comes back to retaliate? Why don't you come back to the city with me?"

Xue Ci was hesitating when a huge black shadow appeared at the door.

He looked up, stunned. "A Hui? Why isn't he home yet?"

Half of A Hui's face was hidden in the shadows; he couldn't speak, he could only stare at Xue Ci's face.

Xue Ci: "Are you waiting for me?"

The man nodded.

I feel more relaxed when I'm with A Hui.

Xue Ci declined Lu Xiunan's suggestion. "I've been with A Hui these past few days, so I should be fine."

"Go back and rest. Fu Yun will come to pick you up."

A husband should definitely listen to his wife.

Lu Xiunan consoled himself with this thought, watching helplessly as Xue Ci left with that tall, strange man.

*

After Xue Ci was taken home, she discovered that A Hui had no intention of going home; it seemed he was trying to protect her.

He was actually a little worried, so he took out a blanket and let A Hui sleep in another empty room.

But A Hui refused and instead slept on the floor outside his room with his blanket.

"..."

Now it looks even more like a big dog.

Xue Ci didn't say anything more.

He spent his days in the cornfield, then there was an unexpected incident at night, and he was even kissed by Lu Xiunan until he was breathless. He was so exhausted that he could fall asleep the moment his head hit the pillow.

However, she still forced herself to go wash up while still wearing her pajamas.

After washing, Xue Ci was surprised to find that the things that Sun Xingmin had messed up had been tidied up, and the corn that had been collected in the afternoon was neatly arranged in the corner of the lobby.

"... Thanks."

The differences between people are too great; Xue Ci greatly admires A Hui's energy.

He dried his hair with a towel while explaining to the other person how to take a bath.

Damp hair clung to her face, her entire face was flushed from the hot water and covered in a layer of steam.

"This is the shower room. The showerhead is installed, but the water isn't heated yet. If you think it's not hot enough, there's some in the thermos."

Xue Ci explaining to him carefully, but when she looked up, she found that the other person's eyes were bright and his gaze was fixed on...

Looking down, Xue Ci awkwardly bit her lower lip.

He found it too much trouble and changed into his old summer clothes, which were already thin. Now, when they got wet, the flesh color was visible through them.

The swollen areas from Lu Xiunan's kisses were also visible.

Should we block it...?

But they were both men, and A Hui didn't have any romantic feelings for him; maybe he just thought his clothes were wet.

Xue Ci suppressed the heat in her face, pretended nothing had happened, and walked past him.

Little did he know, the moment the bedroom door closed, A Hui took a deep sniff of the spot he had just passed.

Then, he lowered his head, looking helplessly at the bulge.

*

The next morning, Xue Ci just finished breakfast with A Hui when Song Liu came over to ask him what had happened the night before.

She slept soundly last night and only found out when someone came to her house to tell her.

"I just went to the village chief's house. A large group of them took Sun Xingmin to the police station last night. He intentionally injured someone, and it was someone from the wealthy and powerful Lu Family. He'll definitely be in jail for a few years." Song Liu felt a sense of satisfaction but couldn't help worrying. "But he's only in detention for now; he might be released again in the middle. You'd better be careful."

Given Xue Ci's frail health, the consequences of encountering Sun Xingmin were predictable. Song Liu grew increasingly fearful as she thought about it, "Has Xiao Zhao been contacting you recently? Why don't you go to the provincial capital with him first? Although you're divorced, I think he still has feelings for you. You should be able to ask him for help to hide for a while."

That would definitely hinder the protagonist's career development.

The progress bar is currently at 95%. Once Zhao Ying has set up the furniture factory, he can go there and leave.

Xue Ci was deep in thought with her eyes down when she felt a gentle brush against her shoulder.

He turned to the side.

The tall man was silent and expressionless, leaving Song Liu completely bewildered and unable to understand what he was trying to say. Then he heard Xue Ci gently pat his arm and say in a reassuring tone, "Don't worry, I promised you I'd protect me. I won't abandon you."

Song Liu was shocked.

How did her nephew understand what A Hui meant?

"Auntie, thank you for your kindness, but I already talked to A Hui about it yesterday." Xue Ci at her, "It's alright, A Hui is very strong and has great stamina."

Listening to this... Song Liu could see that Xue Ci simply wanted to be friends with A Hui, but A Hui's intentions were too obvious.

This person is a bit strange, but he's really good to Xue Ci.

Song Liu didn't say anything more, but told them to be careful during this period.

Throughout the day, many gossipy people came to inquire about Sun Xingmin. Xue Ci was overwhelmed and had to repeat the same things several times until her mouth was dry. In the end, she left A Hui alone in the lobby.

Seeing the tall butcher guarding the door, no one dared to speak.

Xue Ci stayed home for two consecutive days. Zhou Qize came to see him several times, but he declined, citing feeling unwell.

Lu Xiunan and Zhao Ying didn't come, but I received three phone calls a day.

Xue Ci didn't answer or reply to the message.

However, this also delayed A Hui, as the man couldn't set up his stall for several days.

Xue Ci shyly, "I should be fine. Do you want to go back?"

Upon hearing this, A Hui lowered his head.

Xue Ci seemed to see his drooping ears.

I feel a little reluctant.

So I added a sentence to explain, "You're going to the butcher shop this morning."

A Hui stared at him sullenly, then suddenly grabbed his sleeve. Xue Ci was pulled forward by this force and arrived at the door.

A Hui pointed to a mountain not far away.

Xue Ci stared at him blankly. "Do you want to take me there?"

A Hui nodded.

Remembering that A Hui used to be a hunter, Xue Ci felt there was a good chance he would take her hunting, and excitedly asked, "Shall we go now?"

A Hui nodded again.

It was cold on the mountain. Xue Ci had just put on a thick coat when she heard the sound of a car parking at the door.

It was the Lu Family's black sedan.

Xue Ci thought it would be Lu Xiunan, but it turned out to be Lu's mother.

He paused, taken aback.

Could it be that the divorce was...?

As expected, Lu's mother immediately expressed her purpose as soon as she got out of the car.

"Xiao Ci, how could you get a divorce? Without even discussing it? The two kids knew and didn't tell us! This is such a big thing. We only found out because we heard them arguing..."

Lu's mother explained the situation with a sob in her voice.

Xue Ci was terrified. He realized that the other person didn't know the divorce was related to Lu Xiunan and thought it was just a simple disagreement.

Elders have always advised reconciliation rather than separation, especially in this day and age.

However, after much persuasion, Lu's mother finally revealed the reason that mattered most to her.

Zhao Ying, for reasons unknown, said he wanted to cancel the lease on the storefront, take Xue Ci away, and never come back.

The Lu Family had finally reunited with their biological son and were eager to offer them compensation; how could they possibly just let him go like this?

So he wanted to beg Xue Ci go and persuade him, and of course, it would be best if they could reconcile.

"It's his father's birthday today, and then I hear something like this... I haven't seen you lately, I thought you were busy studying." Lu's mother held his hand tightly.

Xue Ci certainly wouldn't refuse her elder's request, and she was also afraid that Zhao Ying would really give up the thriving storefront.

So he agreed to go back to the Lu Family and would try his best to persuade Zhao Ying.

He told the elders to go back to the car first, and then he went home and locked the door.

The butcher walked over from the kitchen, his gaze fixed on us.

Xue Ci stood on tiptoe and patted his slightly prickly head. "Wait here for me to come back."

A Hui's eyes were bright and black.

Xue Ci him not to go out, and he actually stood guard at the door, not moving an inch.

*

When they arrived at the Lu Family's house, there were many people gathered in the courtyard, all of whom seemed to have come to celebrate Lu's father's birthday.

Despite already knowing about this, Mr. Lu maintained a calm demeanor on the surface.

Instead of taking Xue Ci directly to see Zhao Ying, Lu's mother helped him pick out an outfit.

She smiled helplessly, "I saw it when I was out last time, and I was planning to give it to you after your exams."

Xue Ci took the clothes, feeling guilty, and said, "I will definitely try to persuade him."

Lu's mother gently touched his fluffy head, hesitating to speak. She really wanted to persuade the two to reconcile, but she was afraid it would backfire. Young people these days are all rebellious.

Her two sons are indeed twins; although they seem to have different personalities, they are both stubborn.

Lu's mother had high standards; she bought Xue Ci a very stylish white suit that accentuated her slender waist and tall figure.

Xue Ci and left the room.

There were people outside, all talking about topics he couldn't understand.

Lu's mother wanted to take him into the room, but someone happened to come over and chat with her.

Led by the nanny, Xue Ci carefully made her way through the crowd.

He was so preoccupied with what he was going to say to Zhao Ying that he didn't notice the several unfriendly gazes falling on him.

There were so many people that Xue Ci was practically squeezed into the room. As soon as she entered, she saw two equally tall men, both dressed in suits.

Upon seeing him, the two men acted like two grumpy wild dogs finding their master, calming themselves down and striding over.

Enveloped by two shadows, Xue Ci instinctively stepped back.

The tall man completely concealed his slender body, revealing only a small section of his pink fingers.

"Xiao Ci."

"Xiao Ci."

Two equally low, husky, and restrained voices rang out.

Xue Ci froze, staring at their faces.

After a few days apart, the two brothers seemed to have blended together, their faces and demeanor were identical... Now even Xue Ci couldn't tell them apart!

He looked around several times, and finally, when he saw the faded red cloth strip that the man on the right inadvertently peeked out from his sleeve, he breathed a sigh of relief and grabbed the other man's sleeve, "I have something to tell you."

Lu Xiunan, standing to the side, looked extremely pale. "You haven't answered my calls at all, don't you have anything to say to me?"

Xue Ci didn't have time to pay attention to him at all, and pulled Zhao Ying to a corner to talk.

Lu Xiunan looked like an abandoned dog, his face still showing a calm and arrogant demeanor, but in reality, his spine was broken.

These past few days have felt like an eternity for Zhao Ying. He doesn't dare to see anyone easily and can only focus all his energy on carpentry, but he's been living in a daze and has no energy to muster.

He had seen through himself; he was not a man of backbone at all, and all he wanted was to put his wife first.

He had so much to say to Xue Ci, but when he actually saw her, his throat felt like it was blocked.

She called him in a low, hoarse voice, "Xiao Ci."

Xue Ci offered many words of advice, but in the end, he realized that Zhao Ying wasn't listening at all, his gaze fixed on his face. He pursed his lips, looking rather unhappy.

Don't blame me.

I don't want to threaten anyone.

Xue Ci thought to herself.

Finally, upon hearing the words "we'll remarry once the furniture factory is up and running smoothly," Zhao Ying's gloomy eyes instantly brightened.

"Xiao Ci, you promised me, you can't go back on your word."

Xue Ci gritted his teeth—once the furniture factory was up and running, his mission would be complete.

Just then, Lu's mother walked into the room and stood not far away, chatting absentmindedly with someone.

Xue Ci and told the other person, "You don't need to worry, he won't leave you."

He added, "He promised me."

Lu's mother knew perfectly well how deep her eldest son's feelings were for Xue Ci, and she breathed a sigh of relief, "Would you like to stay here for a while? The drinks and cakes here are delicious."

"Stay a little longer, I'll have the driver take you home when it's over."

Unable to refuse the brothers' hospitality, Xue Ci avoided them and wandered around in less crowded areas.

Would you like a drink?

A waiter wearing a bow tie, who looked very professional, came over with a beautifully colored drink on his tray.

Xue Ci had just talked a lot and was parched, so she took the cup and drank half of it.

Afterwards, Lu's mother came over to chat with him, but Xue Ci felt a burning sensation on his back and was not feeling well, so he told her that he wanted to go back.

Lu's mother thought he was shy, so she didn't insist and arranged for a driver to take him home.

As soon as Xue Ci got on the bus, she felt dizzy and her body inexplicably hot.

He slept the whole way, but not soundly, thinking it was too stuffy in the car.

Seeing that they had entered the village, Xue Ci the driver to stop the car and got out to walk back.

His face flushed an unnatural red, and as he neared home, the number 11 suddenly echoed in his head.

[Host! Someone is lying in ambush in our house!]

[Don't go back yet!]

Xue Ci awake.

Then, an urgent voice was heard. "[It's those people who framed Lu Xiunan before. They're all relatives of the Lu Family. Now that Lu Xiunan has ruined their company, they've lost all their shares, so they want to kidnap you to threaten Lu Xiunan.]"

There was something in that drink!

11 was frantic, pacing back and forth. "[I just used the shielding medicine, which can block 70%, but it might lose its effectiveness at any time.]"

[If it fails, it may have the opposite effect.]

[There are also their cars at the village entrance, ready to stop your vehicle. You are now surrounded! You need to find a safe place to hide.]

Upon hearing these words, Xue Ci's face turned pale instantly.

He immediately turned around and ran in the opposite direction.

Soon, he heard noisy footsteps behind him.

Car headlights flashed in the distance.

what to do...

On the dark country road, Xue Ci had no idea which way to go, only that she couldn't get caught.

He ran for a few minutes and then ran out of energy. His legs were weak and he stopped to breathe quietly when suddenly someone covered his mouth and nose from behind!

"Hmm--"

The other person was incredibly strong; they practically dragged him away.

Xue Ci was dragged, stumbling and falling, to the cornfield. When she stopped, she staggered and sat on the other person's lap.

The person behind me was breathing heavily.

Xue Ci trembled uncontrollably, but quickly realized that the other party meant him no harm and seemed to be helping him avoid those people.

Where did you go?

"They're definitely hiding. Search carefully!"

Xue Ci dared not breathe, completely exhausted, relying entirely on the person behind him to hold him.

Time passed very slowly.

The group of people were unfamiliar with crops and searched the fields while cursing and swearing. One of them was even bitten by accident.

"Is this fucking poison?! Am I going to die?! I don't want to risk my life going in there!"

What are you guessing?

"Nonsense, I wasn't biting you!"

A fight broke out among the group, and unable to find Xue Ci, one group took the bitten person to the hospital, while the other group continued the search.

Unfortunately, the cornfields were densely packed and connected, and they lost their way as soon as they entered. After searching for a long time, they decided that Xue Ci wouldn't be hiding there, so they moved to other places to search.

The footsteps gradually faded away.

A Hui loosened his grip on the person in his arms slightly, only to meet Xue Ci's unclear gaze.

My cheeks feel hot.

No... I feel burning hot all over.

"... A Hui?"

Xue Ci realized it was someone familiar and completely relaxed. He felt increasingly difficult to breathe, like a fish thrown onto the shore, unable to catch his breath.

A Hui felt cool, Xue Ci against him, seemingly finding it comfortable, before pressing her entire face against him again.

But... I still feel terrible.

Xue Ci's eyes gradually welled up with tears as she wrapped her arms around the man's neck.

The fine sweat on my body, along with the fragrance, was carried into the air.

A Hui took a deep breath and, under the moonlight, looked at Xue Ci like a wild beast.

Xue Ci is not feeling well.

Her lips are very red and always open.

A Hui kissed her almost instinctively. He didn't know any techniques; he was driven by the most primal desires, and he did whatever was most direct.

In the dense, airtight cornfield, only a few rays of moonlight could penetrate.

Every now and then, a soft, meowing sound, like that of a cat, could be heard.

It looks like she's crying.

The rough corn husks occasionally brushed against the slender white legs tossed in the air, and even the slightest touch caused them to tremble.

Held in the man's arms, with her back to him, Xue Ci trembled violently.

He seemed to have melted into water.

Even rougher than corn husks are men, with wide knuckles, long fingers, and enormous other parts.

Xue Ci felt dizzy and lightheaded. She felt sticky all over, whether from sweat or something else, and felt very uncomfortable.

He sniffed, his calves straightened again, and the moonlight made his snow-white insteps appear glistening.

A vast expanse of pure white.

Then it lost its strength and drooped down.

It brushed against the man's leg, leaving a damp patch.

At the same time, something splashed onto the yellowing corn husks.

Unlike the previous times.

This time it's transparent.

Author's Note:

The butcher is too big, the baby is too small...
