The next morning, sunlight shone into the house through the window lattice. Su Yun sat in front of the dressing table, looking at the hairpin that Lu Yuankai had given her last night. She hesitated for a long time, but finally picked it up gently and put it in her hair.

The hairpin looked even more exquisite under the sunlight. Su Yun looked at herself in the mirror, and a different emotion arose in her heart. She couldn't tell whether it was shyness or anticipation. She just felt that the hairpin seemed to carry a different kind of warmth, making her feel a little different.

For the next six nights, when it was late at night and everyone was asleep, Lu Yuankai would quietly appear in Su Yun's room like a shadow that kept its promise.

Every time he came, he didn't do anything out of line. He just sat quietly by the bed, chatting with Su Yun, telling her about the interesting things he saw outside during the day, or listening to Su Yun talk about his insights from reading.

Sometimes, he would pull out beautiful clothes from behind his back like a magic trick. Those clothes were all made of the finest materials and were embroidered with exquisite craftsmanship. Every pattern seemed to be telling a different story.

Or she would take out some exquisite jewelry, which sparkled brightly under the candlelight, filling Su Yun's eyes with amazement and joy.

There was even one time when he took out a stack of banknotes, stuffed them into Su Yun's hand, and said with a smile: "Yun'er, take these. If you see something you like, go buy it. Don't be wronged."

Su Yun was shocked and anxious, and hurried to return the banknote. "How can I take your banknote? It's too valuable. I can't accept it."

Lu Yuankai held her hand, his eyes sincere and affectionate, "Yun'er, in my heart, you deserve the best in this world. What does this mean to you? Just accept it. As long as you are happy, that's all."

Su Yun couldn't persuade him, so he had to accept the banknote with a blushing face.

Lu Yuankai looked at her with eyes full of doting, and jokingly said, "Yun'er, if you marry me, I promise that all my property will be yours. From now on, you can just enjoy yourself. You can buy whatever you want and go wherever you want. I will always be with you and protect you."

Su Yun glanced at him angrily, "What are you talking about? Between you and me... there's no way this could be possible."

Lu Yuankai, however, refused to give in. He held her hand and said seriously, "Yun'er, break up with that man and be with me, okay? I know you may still have many concerns about me, but you should have been able to feel my feelings for you these days. I sincerely hope to be with you forever."

Su Yun lowered her head, her heart was like a pot of mixed emotions, all kinds of emotions intertwined together. She bit her lip and did not respond, but she did not pull her hand out of Lu Yuankai's hand.

That night, Lu Yuankai arrived as promised.

After spending the past few days together, Su Yun seemed to have gotten used to his company. When she saw him coming, she just raised her eyes slightly, smiled faintly, and then continued to read with her head down, no longer resisting him as she did at the beginning.

Lu Yuankai closed the door quietly, walked to the bed, and sat quietly beside Su Yun. Just like every night, the two of them sat on the bed, and the picture looked particularly harmonious, as if they were a couple who had been together for many years, enjoying this quiet and beautiful time.

However, in this peaceful atmosphere, Lu Yuankai's face suddenly flushed, his breathing became more rapid, and beads of sweat gradually seeped out of his forehead. He clutched the corners of his clothes tightly with both hands, his body trembling slightly, and he spoke with difficulty: "Yun'er, I... my poison has taken effect."

Su Yun was stunned and almost dropped the book in her hand. She looked at Lu Yuankai in panic, "What...what should I do? How do you feel now?"

Lu Yuankai's eyes became blurry. He tried to control himself, but the poison was too strong, causing his rationality to dissipate bit by bit. He looked at Su Yun, his voice filled with pain and pleading.

"Yun'er, I... I'm afraid I can't control myself anymore. Once this poison takes effect, only... only being close to you can alleviate it. I... I'm really in so much pain."

As he spoke, he slowly lowered his head and gently kissed Su Yun's lips.

Su Yun widened her eyes and subconsciously wanted to push him away, but when she felt Lu Yuankai's painful and endless desire, her heart softened and her hands slowly fell to her sides, allowing him to kiss her.

This kiss seemed to ignite some unspeakable flame. Lu Yuankai's breath became hotter and hotter. His hands trembled slightly as he put his arms around Su Yun's waist and gently laid her down on the bed. Their bodies were tightly pressed together, their breaths intertwined, as if the whole world only had the two of them.

Lu Yuankai's kiss moved from Su Yun's lips to her cheek, and then to her ear. His voice was filled with suppressed desire as he whispered in Su Yun's ear: "Yun'er, I'm sorry, I... I really can't help myself. I will be responsible for you. I... I really love you..."

Su Yun's cheeks had already flushed red with shame. She closed her eyes tightly, her body trembling slightly, and her hands unconsciously clutched Lu Yuankai's clothes. Her heart was panicked, yet it seemed to be filled with a hint of other emotions. In this complex mood, she let Lu Yuankai and herself lie on the bed, enveloped by the atmosphere of love and poison. Everything seemed so dreamlike, yet with an indescribable intimacy and tenderness...

After an unknown amount of time, the urge brought on by the poison seemed to gradually subside. Lu Yuankai lay beside Su Yun, holding her tightly in his arms, his eyes full of guilt and pity. "Yun'er, it's my fault. I've offended you again. You...if you blame me, you can hit me or scold me, but just don't ignore me."

Su Yun opened her eyes and looked at the man in front of her. She felt shy and helpless. She punched Lu Yuankai's chest lightly and said, "You always act like this. What should I do?"

Lu Yuankai quickly held her hand, placed it on his lips and kissed it gently, "Yun'er, I swear, I will find a way to remove this poison from now on, and I will never let you suffer this kind of injustice again. I will treat you well, for the rest of my life, and I will never break my promise."

Su Yun looked at his serious expression, her heart filled with complicated emotions. She buried her head in Lu Yuankai's arms and said nothing more, as if she wanted to find a trace of comfort in this warm embrace, and also wanted to let her panicked heart gradually calm down...
