Chapter 323 Calm Frenzy
Bai Qingyu's eyes remained calm as always, looking at her with an indescribable seriousness and concern. Ling Chengen hesitated for a few seconds before deciding to tell the truth.
Although I may face many questions from him after I finish speaking, dragging it out like this is not good for anyone.
"I'm not actually the one who was chasing after you before."
Ling Chengen observed all his subtle expressions and movements to ensure that he could give the right feedback in a timely manner.
Bai Qingyu looked at her with a puzzled expression.
Ling Chengen sighed deeply and said, "The Ling Chengen who liked you so much before actually died after falling off a cliff when he was ambushed by the beast. I don't know why I ended up in her body, which is why I have no memory of her. So I'm not the person you know."
The ceramic spoon that Bai Qingyu was holding fell onto the table, spun twice, and then rolled to the ground, shattering into several pieces.
He opened his mouth, but found that he couldn't make a sound, and finally his eyes gradually turned red.
Ling Chengen sighed softly: "So, after I woke up, I chose to accept my father's arrangement and didn't continue to pester you like she did. The fundamental reason is that I didn't have any feelings for you at that time."
Bai Qingyu's eyes were already glistening with tears. After struggling for a long time, she finally managed to ask with difficulty, "Why?"
Why are you telling me all this now?
"are you……"
Ling Chengen interrupted him directly: "No, the purpose of me telling you this is not to push you away. It's because I want you to know why we've come to this point. If she were still here and I had never appeared, she would definitely choose you without hesitation and would not follow Father's arrangement."
"I don't know if you really like her, or if you feel guilty towards her, or if you are driven by other emotions and ultimately choose to make amends, thus betraying your initial decision to become my partner."
"I don't care about these things, because I can feel that you like me."
"I'm just not sure if you'll still choose me after I tell you everything."
"When I agreed to become your partner, there were indeed some things unrelated to feelings involved at the beginning, but I can't deny that I like you too. But it may not be as pure and unwavering as her feelings for you."
"In terms of how I treat you, I am far inferior to her."
After all, she wasn't really a teenage girl full of fantasies and expectations about love.
She has lived through a cannibalistic apocalypse and witnessed the worst of humanity, maintaining a certain distance from everyone, which makes it difficult for her to truly open her heart and love someone.
So... who exactly are you?
Bai Qingyu felt his mind go blank, as if everything had changed, but a clear voice in his heart kept telling him that this was the truth, and all his previous doubts had finally been answered.
"I come from a more distant future, a world where survival is far more difficult than in the beast world, and where cannibalism is rampant."
"I don't even know how I died, or why I got here."
“My psychic abilities came with me, so the original Ling Chengen was a female without any abilities, but I am not; I started at the ninth level.”
"My name is Ling Chengen."
"It's the same as her name."
Bai Qingyu's fingers trembled slightly as he grasped her wrist, which was resting on the table.
Ling Chengen knew that his worldview had been greatly impacted at this moment, so he gave him time to process it before continuing, "I have an intelligent system from a higher dimension that has been bound to me for two lifetimes, and I still have no way to get rid of it."
"It claims to be a dating system that issues dating tasks and gives rewards upon completion."
"But because I really dislike the feeling of being controlled, I have always resisted it."
"But it does have some things that I need, so I will complete some tasks appropriately, as long as I don't mind, to earn rewards."
"The artificial in vitro gestation chamber is one of the rewards it gives."
"This thing can take my place in nurturing the young."
Having just arrived, she didn't feel there was anything wrong with making the decision to conceal her origins.
Choosing to be open and honest now is the same.
For this wild and ancient land that believes in the legend of the beast god, her origin is only slightly special.
“I did intend to use this thing, but it clearly doesn’t belong to this world, so I can’t keep it hidden from those close to me any longer.”
Bai Qingyu quickly understood her purpose: "So, you're really pregnant?"
Ling Chengen nodded: "It should be, otherwise we wouldn't have received something like this."
"If it weren't for this gestation chamber, would you have never told me these things?"
Ling Chengen blinked, looked at his well-defined left hand, and shook his head, saying, "I don't know either. I never hide my origins, but I need to consider whether you can accept it. For Ling Xiao, if I choose to tell the truth, he will have to face the truth that he has already lost his daughter."
“I like him very much; he is a very good father.”
Bai Qingyu grabbed her hand as if it were the last straw, her eyes filled with panic.
Ling Chengen sighed softly, "We haven't reached the final step yet, you still have a chance to back out."
Bai Qingyu sat there blankly for a long time before finally getting up and leaving the room.
Give me some time to calm down.
Watching Bai Qingyu's departing figure, Ling Chengen rested his chin on his hand and quietly looked out the window.
She rarely saw him look so distraught, but she understood... it was already quite remarkable that he could listen to her so quietly.
Of the several men she was involved with, she only needed to explain herself to Bai Qingyu.
Because the original owner of this body was involved between him and her.
Of course, there's also Ling Xiao's side.
Ling Chengen had a headache, but sometimes she felt that Ling Xiao had actually guessed the truth of the matter long ago.
However, she still felt somewhat uncertain.
……
Ling Chengen was prepared that Bai Qingyu would not show up for a long time to come.
But Bai Qingyu didn't spend much time calming down; he appeared in her room that very night.
Ling Chengen was asleep, but felt a bit cold beside her. When she opened her eyes, she saw Bai Qingyu standing by the bed, staring at her.
He looked tired and haggard, but he was like a calm river on the surface, but with a turbulent undercurrent beneath.
Ling Chengen sat up in bed and put a pillow behind his back.
Bai Qingyu took off his coat, got into bed, cupped her face, and kissed her fiercely.
As if to confirm something, he stubbornly tried to arouse her, then waved the curtains by the bed to fall, ripped off his belt with one hand, and casually tossed it outside the curtains.
"Have you made up your mind?"
Bai Qingyu's breathing quickened, and from the long kiss, her cheeks and the corners of her eyes slowly flushed pink. She eagerly ran her hands through her hair, tilted her head to kiss her earlobe and the side of her neck, and then leaned forward to smell the area behind her ear and the back of her neck, her voice hoarse as she said, "I want the smell of you when you're aroused."
He seemed to want to use this to confirm some kind of conjecture.
Ling Chengen paused for a few seconds, then raised his hand to gently stroke his long, slender neck, which was his most outstanding feature besides his face.
Having shared so many intimate moments with him, she knew all too well that this was his most sensitive spot.
Ling Chengen's gaze shifted from his neck to his long purple hair.
He had his hair braided today, mixing his smooth purple hair with fine gold threads, and braiding it into a fishbone style on the side. However, the middle and ends of his hair were loose, with a slight natural curl. Because there was no long hair to cover his forehead and sides, his superior facial features were even more prominent. The faint light from above cast a shadow under his brow bone, making his eye sockets appear even deeper and his gaze unfathomable.
Unlike his usual gradual approach, Bai Qingyu was eager from the start. After peeling off her loose pajamas, he lowered his head and kissed her shoulder repeatedly. Veins bulged on his forehead, and fine beads of sweat seeped from his fair and sexy back muscles.
He braced the back of his hands against the headboard behind her, encircling her in the small space in front of him. His fingertips gripped the wooden board of the headboard, tightening his grip repeatedly, but restraining himself from touching her body.
He was worried that he would lose control and that he might leave bruises on her body, potentially injuring her forearm bones, which were not yet fully healed, without her realizing it.
He abandoned all seduction and flirting techniques, wanting only to achieve his goal as quickly as possible.
But she was too cunning.
In this relationship, he was never the dominant one.
Ling Chengen simply placed his five fingers lightly behind his lean waist, gently stroking the muscle lines on his side, and all his impatience was instantly put on pause.
She was like a tigress surveying her territory, calmly examining her prey without showing any intention to attack. But when her gaze swept over him, he trembled uncontrollably, feeling a sense of panic and despair with nowhere to escape.
His eyes and ears were red, and in the dim light, they had a faint translucent quality.
A face half hidden in shadow and half exposed to warm yellow light, along with an expression driven by desire, made the scene before us distort and become absurd.
Such a scene is captivating.
But he dared not meet her gaze, and could only fix his burning eyes on her brow bone, her lips, the tip of her nose, her earlobe, and her collarbone.
Only magnified close-ups seemed to offer a brief glimpse into his filthy and insane thoughts.
His eyelashes fluttered, a dampness clinging to them, and finally he bit her lips, tasting her blood.
He usually enjoys this slow pace.
But right now, he can't stand it for even a second longer.
He lowered his head and took the initiative to ask for it.
Finally, I caught a familiar scent. That scent was like an iron, smoothing out every tight wrinkle in my brain and flattening out all the noisy, heavy things in my heart.
He was irresistibly drawn to her fragrance, and under its influence, he repeatedly fell into an incurable frenzy, like the relentless tides of the night crashing against the rocks, destroying himself, even if it meant being shattered to pieces.
It was at the very moment he reached the peak that he suddenly realized this.
The person he loves has never changed.
He absolutely adored the person in front of him.
Even if she is indifferent and doesn't respond, he will still be attracted by her every move and every smile.
He felt guilty towards the person from his past.
But I never loved.
Because I don't love them, I always refuse without hesitation.
However, he could never refuse the person in front of him.
Therefore, there's nothing to calmly and thoughtfully consider.
He only wanted to possess her.
To possess what little affection she had left.
To capture her gaze.
Possess her emotions.
To become the person she loves most in her life.
Sweat trickled down his brow bone and temples. Bai Qingyu cupped her face in his hands and offered her the most sincere kiss.
For the rest of his life, he will never waver again.
He didn't love the wrong person.
……
As the wind and rain subsided, Bai Qingyu looked at her sleeping lover and gently traced her facial features with her fingertips.
She was truly beautiful, with an extremely rare, striking beauty that radiated a heroic spirit.
With thick eyebrows and light lips, she exudes a sharp and commanding aura, but only when she is fast asleep does she reveal a tenderness and allure that can only be glimpsed by her partner.
He loved her contrast.
He gently pecked her lips, then brushed the strands of hair that were clinging to her face.
His hand gently rested on her abdomen, but he couldn't feel anything.
The time was still too short.
Her first child did not belong to him.
He thought of the so-called system and incubation chamber, and suddenly felt that those things he couldn't understand were actually quite nice.
That way she wouldn't have to suffer the pain of childbirth.
Male orcs capable of getting pregnant on the Beast Plains are extremely rare, and he doesn't belong to that category.
Pregnancy and childbirth for females are lengthy and the process is quite dangerous.
He couldn't bear the pain of losing her again, not even the slightest hint of it.
Those things perfectly made up for his shortcomings in this area.
Bai Qingyu rested his forehead against her neck, his warm, moist nose gently brushing against her ear. He reached out and pulled her tightly into his arms, lowering his gaze to insert his fingers between hers. When his gaze fell on her skin, it carried a burning, sticky quality, concealing an inexplicable gloom and desire, like a lingering, damp male ghost.
……
The madness of the whole night left Ling Chengen feeling disoriented when he woke up the next day.
She rubbed her sore neck and tried to sit up in bed, but she couldn't sit up right away.
Her body was completely overwhelmed by soreness, causing her mind to go blank for a moment before she turned her head slightly to look at Bai Qingyu sleeping beside her.
He remained in a side-lying position, his right hand pressing against her body, his head slightly close to hers, the blanket draped over his chest, his shoulders, back, and chest fully exposed. Ling Chengen could see the marks on his body at a glance, and then looked away somewhat uncomfortably, but couldn't help but curiously examine him.
His physique was amazing; every inch of his body was beautiful, and his exposed skin was even whiter than hers. This was probably a unique advantage of water-type warriors.
Bai Qingyu just happened to be someone she found attractive, so when he deliberately seduced her, she didn't restrain herself too much.
So, last night was a bit too crazy.
However, since neither he nor she were of reproductive age, their intimate encounter only lasted one night.
But it leaves you exhausted.
Ling Chengen touched his neck, feeling a dry and sore throat, and desperately needed to drink water.
Just as she sat up, Bai Qingyu, who was sleeping next to her, suddenly woke up, reached out and wrapped his arms around her waist, pressing his forehead against her body.
"I got up to drink water."
Bai Qingyu rubbed his temples, sat up in bed, quickly regained his senses, kissed her cheek, threw off the covers and got out of bed, his voice hoarse.
"I go."
