Ye Yuting didn't expect that she would be the first person to visit Wenliang's secret base. Her thoughts became confused for a moment, as if she was back to the long journey of two months. No matter whether it was the bustling tourists among the green mountains and clear waters, or the desolate and deserted yellow sand Gobi, once she had free time, she would always involuntarily think of the young man far away in Qingzhou, his eyebrows, his eyes, his smile, and everything about him.
She thought that the farther away she was, the less she would miss him. However, the howling cold wind on the Qilian Mountains, the bright stars at the bottom of the Crescent Spring, the deafening Zen sounds from the exquisite pagoda in Cishou Temple, and the desolate and sad flute sounds in the general's tent outside Yumen Pass all told her again and again that escape could not lead to forgetting. Over the three thousand miles of clouds and moon, the shadow of that person had never left or disappeared, but instead became clearer and more intense during the journey.
Standing on the city wall of Xiaofangpan City, Ye Yuting finally understood that in this life, she might never be able to sort out the entanglement between her and Wen Liang!
Don't let your spring heart compete with flowers for blooming, an inch of lovesickness is an inch of ashes,
Love is the most heartbreaking thing, as the ancients have long said. But when the flow of time and space cannot escape the longing for someone, when the boundaries of secularity and ethics cannot stop the overflowing tenderness in her heart, even if the lovesickness really turns into ashes in the end, she is willing to be the moth that flies into the fire and completely entrust her pure and flawless daughter's heart to him!
No regrets!
"Why me?"
Ye Yuting couldn't tell what kind of answer she expected Wen Liang to give, but to be honest, at that moment, she was extremely nervous.
Why did you choose to let me be the first to enter the private world you carefully created
Although Ye Yuting didn't understand decoration design, she could see how much effort Wen Liang had put into this house. The one who was qualified to experience this surprise first should be Zuo Yuxi or someone else, but not her.
Wen Liang stood beside Ye Yuting, looking at the scenery outside the window, and said softly: "I don't know either, I just wanted to show you, so I brought you here. Yuting, to be honest, I haven't seen you for two months, and I always feel like a long time has passed. Sometimes I wonder where you are, whether you will catch a cold, or if you are in danger, but you didn't take your phone, so there is really no way to contact you. If I had known that you were so bold to go to the northwest, I would have sent someone to catch you back long ago. How could I let you take risks like you do?"
Ye Yuting pursed her lips and chuckled. Not only did she not feel the slightest bit disgusted by his tyranny, but she instead felt a faint warmth.
"When I saw you walking into the classroom on the first day of school, although your skin wasn't as fair as before, your eyes were brighter and more attractive, and you looked more confident and calm. If I hadn't seen that you still had long hair, I would have thought that you had learned from those old monks and had an epiphany or something..."
The sky that was just full of stars was now filled with thick dark clouds. The wind began to blow outside the small building, causing the branches to sway wildly. Wen Liang's voice continued, "We met again in the Imperial Garden today, and we had the opportunity to sit down and chat alone. It was then that I realized that we had been sitting face to face since I didn't know when. It was so awkward that we had nothing to say."
Wen Liang turned his head, looked Ye Yuting in the eyes, and said, "Yuting, think about it carefully. I am sorry for you. I did that to you twice, and then asked you to pretend that nothing happened like me. This is not only unfair to you, but also an insult to the friendship between you and me."
"If we continue to be so unclear, one day you and I will become strangers, and we won't even be friends. I don't want to go to that point," Wen Liang took two steps forward, and was so close to Ye Yuting that they could smell each other's breath. He said, "Yuting, what about you?"
Ye Yuting's heart jumped directly to her throat, and her brain was almost blank, but she still shook her head slowly but firmly and said, "I don't want to either!"
Outside the window, a flash of lightning streaked across the sky, followed by a rumbling thunder that disturbed the silence of the night. Bean-sized raindrops poured down from the clouds thousands of meters high, instantly turning Qingzhou City into a swamp!
Ye Yuting shuddered, and almost subconsciously embraced Wen Liang's arms. Wen Liang naturally put his hands on her waist, his cheek against her hair, and whispered: "Since we don't want to, even if God gets angry, we won't back down, right?"
Ye Yuting's originally somewhat stiff body gradually became soft. She rested her head on his gentle shoulder, hugged his waist tightly with both hands, bit her lower lip tightly, and nodded with a sob.
The room was silent, with occasional lightning and thunder splitting the night and rain curtains. Through the French window, two figures snuggling closely together could be seen. After an unknown amount of time, a murmur was heard in the room:
"Is it cold?"
“A little bit!”
"How about sitting on the bed for a while?"
"… Um!"
As soon as Ye Yuting finished speaking, Wen Liang picked her up sideways, walked to the bed and put her on the edge of the bed, then squatted down to help her take off her shoes. A pair of snow-white and crystal jade feet appeared in front of him, which were as smooth as jade and as soft as satin. The ankles were slender but not without plumpness, the arch of the foot was slightly bent upward, the curve was beautiful, the toes were symmetrical and neat, like thin green onions, the light half-moon shape and the water-colored toenails exuded an attractive luster, and the delicate and translucent skin on the instep of the foot had a few tiny blue veins faintly visible.
This was not the first time Wen Liang had seen Ye Yuting's jade feet. He had once played with them in his hands while hiding them under the desk in the office. However, the situation was tense and the light was bad at that time, so he did not look at them as carefully as he did now.
"What's so good about feet?"
Ye Yuting blushed, quickly retracted her feet, and crawled into the quilt. Wen Liang smiled, kicked off his shoes, jumped onto the bed, sat down face to face with Ye Yuting, and pulled the quilt over his legs.
From the floor to the bed, the seemingly simple position is different, but the meaning is by no means simple. Ye Yuting lowered her head, the blush on her cheeks spread to her ears, and her eyes seemed to be dripping with water. Wen Liang looked at her charming look and almost couldn't control himself. He bit the tip of his tongue fiercely and said, "Do you want to drink some wine?"
Ye Yuting nodded shyly. Wen Liang got up from the quilt, opened the wine cabinet, took out a bottle of red wine and two wine glasses, and returned to the bed. He drank a glass each with her and clinked glasses.
After a few glasses of red wine, Ye Yuting said softly: "Forgive..."
"Um?"
"Have you ever thought about how much trouble we will face if we do this?"
"Of course I have thought about it. I am essentially a businessman. I always care about costs and benefits. Compared with the pain of losing you, those possible troubles are nothing!"
Ye Yuting had never heard such gentle and sweet words before, and her heart almost melted in his voice. She took the initiative to pour two glasses of wine, put her arm through his arm, drank a cup of wine with him, and then put the glass and bottle on the bedside table.
"Don't you want to drink anymore?" Wen Liang asked in surprise.
Ye Yuting stood up slowly, unbuttoned the front buttons with her slender hands, then pulled down the shoulder straps, and the dress slid down, revealing a beautiful body.
"I will give myself to you when I am sober!"
"Rang, take me!" (To be continued)
