What to Do After Being Transported into a Mature-Themed Novel and Caught in a Storm of Passion - Chapter 123

The car glided into the lush, tree-lined neighborhood as Xue Zhixiao gazed out at the familiar scenery. She inhaled deeply, savoring the delicate orchid fragrance that perfumed the air, realizing how much she had genuinely come to love this place.

Liu Xiuzhe brought the vehicle to a stop beneath a cluster of towering orchid trees. As they stepped out, two black cars came into view, parked directly in front of Xue Zhixiao’s residence. The rear door of one swung open, revealing Pu Feide, who emerged with a warm smile directed at Xue Zhixiao standing just a few paces away, her face lighting up with unmistakable delight.

“Feide.”

Pu Feide spread his arms just in time to catch Xue Zhixiao as she rushed into his embrace. He held her close before taking a half-step back to regain his balance, his smile deepening as he looked down at her. “Zhixiao, it’s been too long. Did you miss me?”

“Terribly,” she confessed, lifting her face from his chest while her hands at his waist moved with gentle concern to where his injury had been. Her expressive eyes searched his face. “Is everything healed properly now?”

“How could I remain unwell with such a beautiful woman worrying over me?” He chuckled, reaching up to pinch her flushed, plump cheek. Then his gaze shifted with playful curiosity. “Aren’t you going to introduce your new friend?” Pu Feide’s eyes twinkled with amusement as he glanced past her at the silent observer who had watched their reunion without interference. Unlike previous encounters, this man showed no hostility, earning Pu Feide’s quiet respect.

This charming, scatterbrained woman’s ability to draw people in never ceased to amaze him. Only three months had passed since their last meeting, and already she had changed companions. Yet seeing her safe and healthy – her face and body regaining their soft fullness, her mounds noticeably more voluptuous against his chest – brought him relief. The memory of her naked form emerging from the water, reaching ecstasy in his hands, flashed unbidden through his mind. That breathtaking vision remained etched in his memory, though she recalled none of it. Only he carried that secret.

“Half-veiled dawn mist cloaks the peony; a clear autumn stream soaks the lotus.” This poetic image of her had become his quiet companion during solitary moments between missions. Gradually, he realized his attachment to Su Yanbai had faded, replaced by crystalline clarity about his feelings for Xue Zhixiao.

The need to see her had driven him through countless obstacles, evading watchful eyes to stand here now, breathing in her floral scent and feeling her soft warmth against him.

Xue Zhixiao turned in Pu Feide’s loose embrace without hesitation, facing Liu Xiuzhe who waited patiently nearby. “This is my friend Liu Xiuzhe. Xiuzhe, meet Pu Feide, my dear friend from Country T.”

“Hello, Mr. Liu. A pleasure,” Pu Feide said, giving Xue Zhixiao’s back a casual stroke before releasing her to offer his hand. Just as their handshake began, Xue Zhixiao suddenly burst into laughter behind them.

The moment of masculine posturing dissolved into awkwardness as both men dropped hands and turned to Xue Zhixiao, who clutched her stomach in uncontrollable mirth – one looking puzzled, the other resigned.

“Haha, sorry, Xiuzhe, Feide, I didn’t mean to-” Her apology dissolved into fresh giggles as her movements pulled the loose tracksuit taut across her braless form, her full mounds swaying visibly with each breathless laugh, their peaked tips leaving little to the imagination. Both men, intimately familiar with her irresistible body, found themselves momentarily transfixed.

Pu Feide sighed inwardly. Of course this impossible woman wouldn’t wear proper undergarments. He was about to draw her close for modesty’s sake when the front door suddenly swung open, revealing a man calling out eagerly, “Is Zhixiao back?”
