What did Adeline do by the water?
Perhaps she washed her face with spring water, or perhaps she drank water because she was thirsty.
The salty taste of tears still lingered in Luan Yenan's mouth, while her nasal cavity was filled with the scent of vanilla.
Luan Yenan tentatively peeked into the blanket, and as she expected, the blanket was filled with the scent of vanilla.
She felt as if she had fallen directly into a pile of vanilla ice cream.
Compared to Luan Yenan's body temperature, Zuo Baixuan's body temperature was lower, with only one spot still gradually warming up.
Zuo Baixuan let out a soft breath. The vanilla scent on the back of her neck was still seeking comfort. She craved vodka, but then she remembered that Luan Yenan had taken medication and could only mark her after his fertile period.
Zuo Baixuan's mind went blank, a void that was quickly filled by another: the melody of art. The music flowed from her fingers, just as it had when Luan Yenan first sat down at the piano. Zuo Baixuan's breath rose and fell with the music.
As the strains of "Ballade pour Adeline" played, Zuo Baixuan drifted into a dream, lost in a daze, not knowing how many times it had played on repeat.
In a half-dreaming, half-awake state, she chatted intermittently with Luan Yenan.
Luan Yenan finally held the sleeping Zuo Baixuan in his arms. He found it funny to watch her go from being able to talk back and respond logically at the beginning to only being able to respond with "uh-huh" and "ah-ah" at the end.
She wanted to keep all those little white flowers, both the kind that looked like them, to herself.
Cover her with a transparent glass dome, and enjoy her moments alone, whether she turns red, turns black, talks back, or blushes shyly.
But in the end, Luan Yenan controlled his desire to control and simply kissed Zuo Baixuan's forehead.
In her hazy state, amidst sorrow and satisfaction, with tears in her eyes as she dug her fingers into Luan Yenan's skin, Zuo Baixuan uttered her innermost thoughts: "Anan, I want revenge."
The stubborn little white flower should tenaciously survive between heaven and earth. Luan Yenan prefers such vibrant life.
Luan Yenan kissed the flower again, then whispered, "Then let's take revenge."
"What if I need to use you?" Zuo Baixuan whispered, her voice trembling with tears.
use?
Luan Yenan smiled, recalling the contract that Zuo Baixuan had pressed to the bottom of the drawer.
Their relationship started with mutual exploitation.
"Then use me. I'm looking forward to seeing how you plan to use me." Luan Yennan stared intently at Zuo Baixuan.
Zuo Baixuan felt weak all over, but she still managed to lift her eyelids and smiled at Luan Yenan's confident look: "Are you sure?"
"Sure."
"Even if it completely destroys your hard work, it's okay?"
These words caused a change in Luan Yenan's emotions. Her eyes were filled with a crazy expectation, as if a nerve had been touched and she wanted to get some fun from Zuo Baixuan.
"Can you do it? If not, I'll personally teach you how to ruin it in a way that looks good."
Zuo Baixuan stopped her amidst the chaos: "No, thank you."
"Don't want what?" Luan Yenan asked deliberately.
Zuo Baixuan stammered, "No... I don't need you to teach me! I can do it myself, I want to take revenge myself."
While in a drunken state, her refusal was tinged with a soft and cute charm.
Seeing that she was so sleepy that her eyelids were drooping, Luan Yenan didn't press her further. He simply tapped his fingers in circles and asked softly, "Is it possible that I've been training you all along?"
Zuo Baixuan did not deny it: "Don't you know the saying 'teaching a disciple can lead to the master's starvation'? Aren't you afraid at all?"
Luan Yenan raised his eyebrows and looked at Zuo Baixuan, recalling their conversation when they were still at the hotel.
"That's true, after all, I don't like to be taken advantage of."
Zuo Baixuan also caught on to Luan Yenan's train of thought: she wouldn't suffer a loss, she would take advantage of her.
She quickly lowered her head, but instead of pushing him away, she panicked and threw herself into Luan Yenan's arms: "I'm so sleepy, let's go to sleep, Anan."
The tender whispers between true lovers were pleasing to Luan Yenan, and he watched as Zuo Baixuan fell asleep in his arms without forcing her to stay.
But Luan Yenan didn't go to sleep immediately. Instead, he removed Zuo Baixuan's makeup and then brought a towel to wipe and clean her.
He took a shower, put his change of clothes on the bedside table, and didn't rush to put them on. Only with the soft body in his arms did he fall asleep peacefully.
...
The autumn sky was clear and cloudless.
Sunlight streamed in through the floor-to-ceiling windows. I couldn't tell the time, but it must have been quite late.
Zuo Baixuan opened her left eye, but her vision was blurry and she couldn't see clearly.
But gradually I felt soreness all over my body.
She frowned, wondering if she had been beaten up while drunk.
But my body felt warm, the surroundings were soft, and I could faintly smell the familiar scent of shower gel.
She swallowed gently, the vodka in her mouth burning down her esophagus, scalding her body.
She then realized that the soft pillow she was holding must be a living thing.
He then secretly peeked through his left eye.
All that could be seen was a well-defined jawline, long, wavy hair falling over her shoulders, and a clearly visible mole on her collarbone beneath the hair.
All the things that happened in my "dream" last night suddenly appeared before my eyes.
They are all... they all actually happened.
The flashbacks of memories made Zuo Baixuan's face flush red.
She secretly withdrew her hands and feet from Luan Yenan's body.
The soreness in her body made her feel shy, and her skin turned two shades red.
It took her a while to break free from Luan Yenan's embrace. She turned over and tried to get out of bed, but found that she was completely naked.
Just go out like that...
It seems she can't do it.
Yu Bai's hand emerged from under the covers and groped around on the floor for a while, only managing to find a silk nightgown.
It's obvious whose clothes these are.
But Zuo Baixuan had no other choice. Rather than staying in bed and becoming even more passive after Luan Yenan woke up, she might as well wear it and leave. At worst, she could wash it and return it to her.
She only thought for two seconds, then gritted her teeth and picked up the skirt.
The silk fabric slid down her smooth skin, and in the blink of an eye, the dress was on her body.
After getting up, she hurriedly picked up her personal belongings that she had left on the ground yesterday. As she walked around the bed, she didn't forget to peek at Luan Yenan to make sure there was no movement before continuing on her way.
When I came to the other side of the bed, I saw the long dress that I had taken off here last night.
Seeing her all tangled up in such a disheveled state, Zuo Baixuan was instantly reminded of the time she had tackled Luan Yenan. She didn't dare to think about it any further and grabbed her dress, ready to run away.
But then he heard a rustling sound behind him.
And Luan Yenan's lowered voice and dismissive tone: "Wearing my clothes and running off first thing in the morning? You always say I have a weird sense of humor, isn't this your weird sense of humor?"
Zuo Baixuan turned around, but instead of seeing Luan Yenan's expression, she was so frightened by his white back and slender figure that she froze.
I feel like I've really become that scumbag woman who runs away as soon as she lifts her skirt.
Zuo Baixuan bit her lip, clutching a pile of clothes, unsure whether to leave or stay.
Until Luan Yenan's warm hand pressed against Zuo Baixuan's cold shoulder, his fingers digging into her shoulder blade.
Luan Yenan's eyes held a hint of displeasure; she disliked seeing Xiaobaihua running away in a hurry every morning when she woke up.
They're legally married, fulfilling their marital duties, so why does it feel like a one-night stand? Perhaps it's more romantic this way? Or maybe...
Dissatisfaction was rampant.
Zuo Baixuan was held by the shoulders and could not escape, so she could only turn around.
I first sized up the person.
I've already put on a shirt, and there's another one on the bedside table, which was probably meant for me.
Zuo Baixuan felt guilty for a moment, then raised her head to meet Luan Yenan's gaze.
Luan Yenan looked down at her, without any restraint or concealment. His eyes blazed with intense heat, and his emotions surged unrestrainedly within them.
The narrow eyes became even sharper.
Last night's words, "You like me too," kept echoing in my ears.
An invisible sense of oppression seemed to want to swallow her whole and lock her inside her deep eyes.
Zuo Baixuan clutched the clothes in her hands tightly, then took two steps back in a panic until she bumped into the wardrobe.
Luan Yenan smiled at this.
"What, did you drink yourself into oblivion last night and forget everything?" Luan Yenan asked, leaning against the wardrobe.
Zuo Baixuan felt extremely guilty.
There was no memory loss, no forgetting.
There was no coercion, no unwillingness.
The comfort I felt last night is just as clear as the soreness in my muscles all over my body now.
But she bit her lip, unsure how to react.
"If you've forgotten, let me remind you. You said you wanted to give yourself to me, so you've been mine since yesterday." Luan Yenan raised his hand and brushed a strand of hair from Zuo Baixuan's temple behind her ear, then pinched her earlobe along the contour of her ear.
Zuo Baixuan was unsure of the details of her moment of infatuation.
But this sentence shouldn't exist!
Not wanting Luan Yenan to continue spouting nonsense, she could only retort, "I never said such a thing. On the contrary, it was you who said I could take advantage of you!"
"So you even remember the last conversation?" Luan Yenan took a step closer to Zuo Baixuan.
Zuo Baixuan hurriedly reached out to block Luan Yenan.
The dress and underwear were scattered all over the floor.
A smile appeared in Luan Yenan's eyes as he continued to look at her, his gaze seemingly able to see through every part of Zuo Baixuan.
