The Hot-tempered Young Master and His Village Flower Child Bride - Chapter 22

Chapter 22: I’m a Dead Fish

‘Girls take a long time to shower.’ Zhao Xunyu sighed impatiently while waiting. Finally, the bathroom door opened and he stood up abruptly. “Did you get the text I sent you?”

Chu Zhi Lu seemed surprised that he was still waiting. She was wearing a light yellow camisole nightdress without a bra, which showed a glimpse of her skin.

After asking the question, Zhao Xunyu noticed her prominent n*pples through the thin fabric. His eyes darted away, his ears burning.

Chu Zhi Lu calmly said, “Hmm. You haven’t showered yet?”

“Shower? I’ll take a shower right away!”

Not daring to look, he went back to his room to find pajamas.

Chu Zhi Lu’s eyes sparkled as she went back to her room and gently closed the door.

Zhao Xunyu took a quick shower, roughly dried his hair, draped a towel over his shoulder, and hurried to knock on Chu Zhi Lu’s door.

He squeezed in as soon as the door opened slightly and hugged her tightly. His momentum caused her to take a step back, and he followed her, pushing her toward the bed. Drops of water from his hair fell onto her face and body. She stood firm and frowned when she saw his hair was still w*t. 

“What’s the hurry?”

She pulled him away and made him sit on the bed. She carefully dried his hair with a towel. Zhao Xunyu pulled her closer and hugged her waist, resting his head against her flat abdomen. Clinging to her, he said, “I’m dying! If I don’t hug you, I’ll shut down.”

He closed his eyes and savored her fragrance, letting out a satisfied sigh.

“Get up. You’re dripping water on my clothes.”

Zhao Xunyu inhaled her scent deeply before raising his head. Chu Zhi Lu continued drying his hair and asked, “Didn’t you say you wouldn’t touch me? What are you doing?”

Zhao Xunyu slumped down, admitting defeat. “It’s hard to go from luxury to frugality. I think I’m sick. I have skin starvation syndrome. I’ll explode if I can’t be close to you.”

“I’ve never heard of that disease.”

Zhao Xunyu rubbed her waist and said, “Can I get a little advance on boyfriend benefits? Just kissing and hugging. But I promise I’m serious about you. I don’t want to play around. I’ll pursue you earnestly and show you my sincerity.”

Chu Zhi Lu chuckled helplessly. “What is this? First, you said you wanted an ambiguous relationship. Then, you said we’d be exclusive. Now, you’re asking for benefits. What do you want?”

Zhao Xunyu was also frustrated. “Li Yi told me that girls want guys to cherish and protect them. If a guy gets too intimate too quickly, it makes the girl feel like the guy only wants to take advantage of her. Especially if there’s intimacy before the relationship is confirmed, it makes the guy seem unreliable and irresponsible. Li Yi also said that girls want to be pursued for a long time and to have many heartwarming and beautiful memories.”

He had planned to retrieve his treasury and then arrange the confession.

“So, you’re self-reflecting and correcting yourself?”

Zhao Xunyu nodded, dejected. “I think what he said makes sense.”

“Mm.”

“… But I really want to kiss and hug you.”

Chu Zhi Lu wiped his ear and touched his small, red birthmark. Her voice was soft. “Then what should we do?”

“I want the benefits of having a boyfriend, but I hope you won’t misunderstand or be disappointed in me…”

“We’ll see how I feel.”

Zhao Xunyu sighed.

Having almost finished drying his hair, Chu Zhi Lu said, “There’s a hairdryer in the bathroom. Next time, dry your hair yourself after showering.”

Zhao Xunyu buried his head in her stomach again and replied, “Next time you wash your hair, I’ll do it for you.”

Chu Zhi Lu cupped his face, meeting his gaze. “As for benefits, it’s okay if I initiate it.”

With that, she leaned down and kissed him. Zhao Xunyu took the lead immediately, holding her head and deepening the kiss.

Since this position wasn’t ideal for kissing, Zhao Xunyu pulled her onto his lap.

His hot tongue played in her mouth like a nimble fish, first teasing her tongue with the tip and urging her to entwine with him. When her tongue responded, he moved to the edges, tracing its shape.

After a tender moment, he unexpectedly began kissing her intensely as if he were afraid he wouldn’t get enough. It was like a fish’s sudden burst of movement after languid swaying, creating waves of sound and w*tness.

Chu Zhi Lu’s body tingled and grew hot from his kisses, and her arms weakly wrapped around his neck.

After a long time, they separated, slightly breathless. Her eyes were slightly red, and her lips were moist and full. They looked like a pink peach blossom on a snowy mountain, adding a touch of vibrant spring to her cool and aloof demeanor.

Zhao Xunyu couldn’t help but peck her lips a few more times.

Due to Chu Zhi Lu’s movements, her collar arched up, and Zhao Xunyu could see inside from his angle:

It was white, smooth, and soft like tofu.

Zhao Xunyu reached out and pressed her collar back. Leaning on her shoulder, he tried to calm his desire.

Chu Zhi Lu hugged him with one arm. Her other hand, soft and cool, snaked under his clothes and slid across his skin, sending ripples of sensation through him.

Zhao Xunyu inhaled sharply and grabbed her hand through his undershirt. “Don’t provoke me.”

Chu Zhi Lu lightly scratched his n*pple. “Then will you be proper from now on?”

Caught off guard, Zhao Xunyu immediately changed his tune. “Touch! Touch me as much as you want! I’ll be yours sooner or later. Do whatever you want.”

“Take off your undershirt.”

Zhao Xunyu gritted his teeth.

Sooner or later, I’ll be hers anyway. Let her do whatever she wants!

Zhao Xunyu let go of her, quickly removed his undershirt, and flopped straight back onto the bed. With his head turned to the side and his arms laid flat, he had the tragic air of a martyr bravely facing his doom.

She is the knife and chopping block. I am but a dead fish!
