Chapter 238 Don't Move
Su Wuli stood at the doorway, her hand on the door frame, her fingers gripping the edge of the wood.
Yu Chen walked down the steps, took two steps, stopped, and looked back at Su Wuli.
"Let's go inside, it's a bit chilly outside."
"Oh..." Su Wuli nodded, pulling herself out of her thoughts.
Yu Chen strode away, with Ying Falcon and the other two following behind.
Feng Xi took a few steps, then couldn't help but look back.
He immediately turned back and quickened his pace to catch up.
Su Wuli watched the three figures leave and let out a heavy sigh of relief.
She leaned against the door and raised her hand to touch her face.
It's hot.
She lowered her hand, walked back to the table, sat down, and poured herself a glass of water.
Night falls.
After returning to the manor, Yu Chen had been handling affairs in his study, and Su Wuli originally thought not to disturb him.
But after waiting for a long time, he still hadn't returned.
As the night deepened, after a moment's hesitation, he took a white porcelain bowl and headed to the study.
Two hot eggs rest in the bowl, steam rising from the rim.
The study light was on, and the door was not closed properly, leaving a crack.
Su Wuli stood at the door and glanced inside.
Yu Chen was sitting behind his desk, holding a booklet in his hand.
He lowered his head, his brows slightly furrowed.
Shadow Falcon was not there, nor was Feng Xi.
He was the only one in the room.
Su Wuli hesitated for a moment, unsure whether to go in.
She stood at the doorway, her fingers tapping the rim of the bowl. An egg sloshed inside and hit the porcelain wall, making a soft sound.
Yu Chen, who was in the study, seemed to have heard the sound and looked up at her.
Upon seeing that it was her, he waved to her.
Su Wuli pushed open the door and went in, placing the bowl on the desk.
Yu Chen looked at the eggs in the bowl and asked in confusion, "What's this...?"
"This," she said, picking up an egg and peeling it, "is for applying to the chin."
Su Wuli glanced at him; the tooth mark on his chin was still there, though it was a little fainter than in the afternoon, it was still very clear.
She looked at the booklet in the man's hand, and decided to move a chair and sit down next to him.
The chair was a bit low; when she sat down, she was shorter than him. She placed the egg on his chin, holding it up with her arm.
The eggs were freshly peeled, white and tender, and glistened in the candlelight.
Roll from the left side of his chin to the right, and from the right back to the left.
After rolling around for a while, Su Wuli's arms started to ache, and her elbows couldn't support her weight.
My hand slipped down, and the egg almost fell.
She quickly regained her balance and changed her posture, raising her arms higher, turning her elbows outward, and supporting herself with her shoulders.
My shoulders started to ache after a short while.
All I could do was stop, shake my hands, and stand up.
She pushed the chair back a little.
She bent down in front of Yu Chen and placed the egg on his chin.
This posture is better than sitting, as you don't have to lift it that high.
But soon her lower back started to ache, and she couldn't help but frown.
Biting her lip to endure it, the egg rolled back and forth on the teeth marks.
My waist is getting more and more sore.
She was just thinking about whether to change her position.
Yu Chen put down the booklet in his hand and reached out to grasp her wrist.
Then take the egg from her hand and put it in the bowl.
He then grabbed her waist and lifted her up, so that Su Wuli sat directly on his lap, with his arms around her waist.
He then brought the bowl over and placed it beside her, saying, "Continue."
Su Wuli looked up at him and saw that he picked up the booklet and was reading it, but his brows no longer furrowed.
Su Wuli picked up the egg, turned to the side, and rested her elbow on his shoulder.
The egg was placed on his chin again and rolled slowly.
This posture requires no bending over or raising your arms high, and your elbows have a place to support your weight, making it much less strenuous.
Su Wuli leaned against him, an egg spinning on his chin.
My chin was slightly red from being burned by the egg, and the edges of the teeth marks were more swollen.
She looked at the teeth mark and pressed her finger against it.
The man's Adam's apple bobbed.
Su Wuli was startled and looked up.
His eyes were still on the booklet, but his expression didn't change much.
But his other hand was around her waist, and his thumb gently brushed against her side.
"Well……"
Caught off guard, Su Wuli instinctively flinched.
The egg almost fell, but she quickly steadied it.
She gave the man a coquettish look, "Don't move."
As soon as he finished speaking, his hand stopped.
Su Wuli then continued to apply the hot compress to him.
The egg in her hand had cooled down a bit, so she replaced it with another one.
Seeing her chin red from the egg burn, she suddenly felt a little guilty.
I didn't feel the bite was too hard when I bit down, but I didn't expect the mark to be so deep and to take so long to fade.
The night breeze occasionally blew in through the window.
Yu Chen turned a page of the booklet.
Su Wuli thought it was about time and pressed her finger again.
The man's Adam's apple bobbed up and down.
She said, "Say it if it hurts."
"It doesn't hurt."
Yu Chen moved the booklet to the side a little and leaned towards her.
His shoulder pressed against hers, pulling her completely into his embrace.
He reached out and took her hand holding the egg, then slowly rolled it across his chin.
The movements were so slow that she felt he wasn't applying heat, but just playing around.
The large hand on her waist moved again, and Su Wuli looked down.
We are all grateful for the complexity of clothing worn by people in ancient times.
If it were her own pajamas, that big hand would have already slipped inside.
"Don't move..." Su Wuli glared at him.
Yu Chen lowered his eyes and spoke meaningfully, "Didn't you tell me to move last night?"
"You—" Su Wuli bit her lip, ignoring him, "Do it yourself."
"No," Yu Chen replied confidently.
Upon hearing this, Su Wuli looked at the large hand that was holding her.
He muttered under his breath, "He's blatantly lying..."
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard the man laugh.
Su Wuli met his eyes and said, "Alright, I'm leaving."
"Okay," Yu Chen replied. "Wait for me in the room."
Su Wuli had just gotten off the man's lap when she heard these words, which were clearly suggestive and teasing.
She walked away without looking back, "I won't wait."
As she finished speaking, she seemed to hear Yu Chen's laughter again.
……
Su Wuli returned to her bedroom after taking a shower.
She sat down on the edge of the tatami mat and gathered her hair to one side.
Once her hair was dry, she lay down and covered herself with the blanket.
The candlelight was still burning, and she blinked.
Suddenly I realized that I had been here for two whole days.
It was two full days.
This has never been this long before. I don't know if I'll still be here tomorrow...
She didn't know what factors determined the timing.
I've been thinking about it for a long time but can't figure it out; my mind is getting heavier and heavier...
I haven't recovered from the ordeal Yu Chen caused me this morning.
My back and legs are sore, and now I feel completely weak after taking a shower.
Before I knew it, I had fallen into a deep sleep.
Until she was pulled into a broad embrace, Su Wuli instinctively burrowed deeper inside.
The warmth of her body seeped through my undershirt and felt wonderful.
Su Wuli pressed her face against it and rubbed against it, finding a comfortable position to lean against it.
Yu Chen tightened his arms, embracing her as if enveloping her completely.
"Are you really not going to wait for me?" he asked in a low voice with a smile.
