Chapter 194 Incense Ash
Bai Li, dressed in a silk nightgown, leaned lazily against the back of her chair.
In the room, the cool air from the air conditioner mixed with the hot air from the hairdryer, creating a comfortable alternation of hot and cold.
Bai Li squinted her eyes contentedly, enjoying Jing Ye's hair-drying service.
She glanced at the mirror and saw Jingye's figure clearly reflected in it.
Even in the quiet of the night, she was wearing a silk nightgown.
They were all purchased by the family together, so they are the same style as hers.
When placed in the same frame, they look like they're wearing matching outfits.
Jingye's robe was loosely tied at the waist, and her fair skin, still flushed with a pale pink after her bath.
As he raised his hand to change the angle of the hairdryer, his robe opened slightly, revealing a scar on his shoulder.
Although the scar has healed, the mark left on the skin is still very noticeable.
Bai Li was slightly stunned for a moment.
She turned around and touched the scar, finally asking the question she had wanted to ask back in the bathroom: "Does it hurt?"
Bai Li knew she had asked a pointless question.
He has fully recovered.
How could it still hurt?
But the scar, winding and twisting across the fair skin like a grotesque centipede, was so frightening that it involuntarily evoked a phantom sense of empathy and pain.
That's why Bai Li couldn't help but ask that question.
It turns out that Jingye was hurt so deeply.
She recalled visiting Jingye at the sanatorium; her wounds were always carefully bandaged.
Jingye always cleverly avoided letting her see the process of changing the dressing.
Only now, as she touched the raised lines of the scar on her skin and felt the uneven texture with her fingertips, did she realize how terrifying the wound had been.
fortunately……
Fortunately, the injury was to the shoulder.
Bai Li couldn't bear to think about any other possibilities...
The warmth emanating from Bai Li's fingertips caused Jing Ye's body to tremble slightly.
By this time, Bai Li's hair was completely dry. He then turned off the hairdryer, took Bai Li's hand, slowly raised it to his lips, and gave it a deep kiss. Only then did he say in a slightly hoarse voice, "It doesn't hurt anymore."
Jingye's lips were hotter than he had imagined. His kisses followed his fingertips, moving downwards and tracing the inside of his arm.
Every kiss felt like an electric current, sending a tingling sensation through Bai Li's skin.
Her breathing became erratic once again.
Unbeknownst to them, the belt of Jingye's bathrobe had quietly come undone, revealing his previously concealed muscular waistline.
Bai Li's gaze inadvertently swept to a certain spot, and she froze instantly, her eyes widening. For a moment, her mind went blank, and her throat felt like it was choked by something, leaving her speechless.
"you……"
Bai Li uttered just one word before she could no longer speak.
No!
Again?
Jingye noticed Baili's unusual behavior and stopped moving instantly.
He buried his head deeply in Bai Li's neck, let out a suppressed sigh, and whispered, "Miss said she would stay with me."
He gently bit her earlobe, his warm breath staining her entire earlobe red.
Only then did Bai Li finally realize just how terrible a request she had just agreed to.
The rustling of fabric against fabric began again.
Bai Li fell onto the soft bed, the mattress sinking slightly and gently enveloping her.
When another hot chest pressed down on her, she instinctively arched her back.
In the midst of their entanglement, the straps of her silk nightgown slipped off her shoulders, revealing skin as smooth as jade.
The moonlight was suddenly obscured by clouds, plunging the entire room into darkness and amplifying our senses.
A warm hand gently caressed her waist, the warmth spreading rapidly, and a tingling sensation surged up her spine again. Bai Li could clearly hear her own increasingly rapid breathing.
Bai Li subconsciously reached out and supported Jing Ye's broad back, feeling the taut muscles between her fingertips.
Her hand involuntarily slid slowly up his spine. Jingye seemed to be struck by lightning, and suddenly let out a whimper like a cub, his breathing becoming rapid.
Bai Li finally got to touch the scar on Jing Ye's back.
It's a penetrating wound, so it's both in the front and back...
This realization sent a shiver down Bai Li's spine.
The person in front of me has truly come back from the brink of death.
He is her person, and also the "ghost" that will haunt her for life.
All tears and joys are blessings bestowed by fate.
"Is it okay?" Jingye suddenly lowered her voice and whispered in Baili's ear.
She sighed softly and said in a low voice, "Okay."
But as soon as Bai Li finished speaking, she seemed to suddenly remember something and hurriedly reached out to press against his chest: "In the drawer..."
Jingye froze, his movement of kissing her head lowered. He looked at Bai Li with a puzzled expression; her blue eyes shone brightly in the darkness, like dazzling stars.
Bai Li blushed, looked away slightly, and added shyly, "I mean... there are things we need inside."
Ahe and the others knew that Jingye was coming back.
So, just in case.
They placed things in both their own room and Jingye's room.
Bai Li blushed and blamed A He for going to unnecessary trouble, but now that she thinks about it, she has to admit that the NPCs were indeed prescient.
Jingye was stunned for a moment, then suddenly chuckled softly, the vibrations of her chest transmitted through their pressed skin.
His question, "Is it okay?", probably didn't mean the lady in the way she understood it.
But it doesn't matter anymore.
The fact that the young lady accepted his situation had already made him extremely happy.
Seeing him laugh, Bai Li bit Jing Ye in a fit of embarrassment and anger, but he took the opportunity to grab the back of her head and deepen the kiss.
The sound of the metal drawer sliding open was particularly clear in the night.
Jingye's fingertips trembled slightly as he took out the small square box, the plastic packaging making a soft crunching sound in his palm.
Bai Li caught a glimpse of his bright red ear tips and suddenly realized that she wasn't the only one who was nervous about this affair.
This discovery sparked a playful thought in her.
Even though it was her first time too, she still imitated the alluring mannerisms from TV dramas, slowly moving her toes up his calf and gently circling his knee, saying with a hint of playfulness and seduction, "Does the butler need any instruction?"
Jingye suddenly grabbed her unruly ankle, her blue eyes almost burning, and said in a low voice, "Miss... not at this time."
……
Moonlight pierced through the clouds again, casting a silvery glow that illuminated the room.
Bai Li tilted her head slightly and saw the scars on his back muscles undulating with his movements.
"Don't look..."
Jingye noticed her gaze and tried to cover Baili's eyes, but Baili hugged her from behind. Her lips pressed against the scar, and her tongue tasted the salty sweat.
Jingye trembled violently and suddenly pressed her against the headboard with a fierce motion.
The sandalwood incense had been rekindled at some point, and the wisps of smoke twisted into ambiguous shapes in the moonlight.
Bai Li's fingernails left red marks on his back, and intermittent sobs escaped from the corners of her lips.
……
The gilded incense burner on the windowsill was accidentally bumped and fell to the ground with a clatter, spilling incense ash onto the carpet.
In the overwhelming pleasure, Bai Li vaguely remembered that this incense burner seemed to be a valuable antique that she had given to Jing Ye, and that it had cost a lot of money when she bought it.
But at this moment, it was simply forgotten and left aside.
Neither of its owners had time to care whether it lived or died.
Jingye noticed Bai Li's inattentiveness and, dissatisfied, lifted her waist, increasing the pressure slightly.
Bai Li cried out in surprise when the cold glass pressed against her back.
Jingye quickly placed his hand on her back, warming her from the cold.
But at this moment, this was the only gentle gesture he could muster.
Bai Li thought this in a daze.
……
A light rain began to fall in the latter half of the night.
Raindrops gently tapped on the window, making a pleasant sound.
Jingye carried the freshly washed and fragrant Baili back to bed. Baili was drowsy, so she rolled over and snuggled into the blankets, closing her eyes and falling asleep.
Jingye smiled and embraced her from behind, listening to her even breathing, and gently kissed her.
