Shocking! The actress was dragged to the regent's bedchamber every night.

Su Wuli pressed her palm against his face, his stubble pricking her palm.

After a moment, she withdrew her hand.

Her fingers touched the collar of the man's undershirt and then hooked the tie.

He didn't move.

Without the slightest hesitation, Su Wuli untied the tie and slipped her fingers inside his collar to touch his collarbone.

The man's skin was hot, while her fingers were cold.

Yu Chen suddenly grasped her hand.

"Ah Wu."

Su Wuli didn't look at him, and even tried to pry his fingers apart.

His fingers were hard; she couldn't bend them.

She stubbornly broke them off one by one.

When you break one open, the other one tightens up again.

Su Wuli lowered her head and bit the knuckle of his index finger.

Yu Chen didn't pull it away, and she didn't use any force.

It was just held in its mouth.

After a stalemate, he finally broke free.

Su Wuli removed his hand from hers and placed it beside her.

Then he took his undergarment off his shoulders.

Then she lowered her head and pressed it against his neck.

She kissed him, kissing him again and again from his neck to his collarbone, and from his collarbone to his chest.

I tried to press my lips to his, just like he did. My lips were trembling, and my eyelashes were trembling too.

Tears fell again, dripping onto his chest.

She wiped it with the back of her hand and continued kissing.

"Ah Wu."

He called her name again.

Su Wuli did not respond.

He called out again, but she still didn't respond.

Su Wuli lay on top of him, burying her face in the crook of his neck.

"I want it." Her voice was muffled in the crook of his neck.

She stopped looking at him and lowered her head to continue kissing his neck.

Kiss his shoulder, kiss his chest.

Her movements were hurried and chaotic, as if she was in a rush.

It's like storing his body temperature, his breath, and his heartbeat into your own body.

It's enough to last him until he dies.

Yu Chen sighed, as if something he had been carrying for a long time had finally reached its breaking point.

He rolled over and pinned her beneath him.

Su Wuli was pinned down by him and couldn't move.

Tears slid down from the corners of my eyes and flowed into my hair.

Yu Chen looked down at her and wiped away the tears from the corner of her eye with his thumb.

"I'll do it."

He leaned down and kissed her.

Slow, deep, each stroke felt like confirming something.

She reached up to the back of his neck and ran her fingers through his hair.

His well-defined fingers intertwined with hers, their ten fingers clasped together.

She hummed, biting her lip to swallow the sound back.

Yu Chen lowered his head, his lips close to her ear, "Speak, I want to hear it."

Su Wuli obediently opened her lips, and a sound escaped from her throat.

Intermittent, fragmented.

She buried her face in the crook of his neck, her hands cupping the skin of his back.

Tears smeared on his neck, warm and wet.

Every inch had to be crushed, as if measuring everything else, or as if measuring the time left to be spent.

Yu Chen kissed away the tears from the corner of her eyes.

Her tears would never end, and so would his kisses.

He kissed her again and again, swallowing her tears each time.

Her hands were wrapped around the back of his neck, her fingers gripping his hair. She didn't let go, and he didn't stop.

He wanted her again and again.

He didn't know how much time had passed, only that she cried again and again beneath him.

Su Wuli hugged him very tightly, so tightly that his ribs ached.

Yu Chen didn't let her let go; he held her even tighter.

He didn't know if he would have another chance, or if he would see her again tomorrow.

I wonder what awaits him when he returns to the capital.

All he knew was that she was in his arms.

He kept asking her for more, essentially using up all the years to come in advance.

Yu Chen buried his face in the crook of her neck, his lips pressed against her skin.

She hugged him, gently stroking his back with her fingers.

Red marks appeared from the friction.

Su Wuli had no idea how many times he had taken her.

My consciousness felt like it was being pulled down by something, sinking deeper and deeper.

She could hear his breathing, heavy and close to her ear.

She tried to open her eyes, but her eyelids were too heavy to open them.

She tried to speak, but her lips moved and no sound came out.

All she knew was that he was still kissing her, kissing her eyes, kissing her lips that she had bitten herself.

"Ah Wu," he called to her.

She heard it and responded.

Su Wuli heard him speak again, very softly.

I pressed my ear against hers, but I couldn't hear her clearly.

She couldn't speak; her consciousness was sinking.

Yu Chen held her in his arms, watching her eyes as they were about to close.

Her eyelashes were trembling; she no longer had the strength to open them.

Her fingers slid down his back and hung limply at his waist.

He ran his fingers through her hair, pressing the pads of his fingers against the back of her head.

Her breathing was very light, like a candle flame about to go out in the wind.

"Thank you." His lips brushed against her earlobe, his breath warm on her skin. "Thank you for letting me know who I am."

Those words drifted into Su Wuli's ears, falling into the darkness. Before she could grasp them, her consciousness began to plummet.

All she knew was that Yu Chen was holding her.

She didn't have the strength to push him away, nor did she want to.

She could only bury her face in the crook of his neck, curling herself into a tiny ball, and lost consciousness in his arms.

…………

When Su Wuli woke up, she saw the ceiling of the apartment.

He blinked, his eyeballs rolled around under his eyelids, and his gaze slowly focused.

Then curl yourself up into a ball.

Memories of last night flooded back; all I could remember was him holding her.

Remembering that Yu Chen's instructions were essentially a prelude to his final affairs, tears welled up in her eyes again.

It couldn't be stopped.

She buried her face in the pillow, which became soaked.

It felt cool against my burning face.

Her fingers gripped the corner of the blanket.

She didn't know how long she cried, only that half of her pillow was wet.

She turned over and buried her face in the other side.

The other side was wet too, so she pulled the blanket up to cover her face.

It was dark under the blanket, with only her heavy breathing, like someone was choking her.

…………

For the next few days, Su Wuli went to bed early every night.

However, she had no dreams, which made her increasingly anxious.

One or two days...

Ten days.

No dreams.

Su Wuli couldn't sleep until the fifteenth day.

I lay in bed with my eyes open until dawn.

I still couldn't resist picking up my phone and opening that novel.

I flipped to the table of contents, my finger hovering above the screen, but I didn't dare to click on anything.

I stared at it for a long time, then turned my phone upside down and placed it face down on the bedside table.

She curled herself up into a ball.

Day .

Su Wuli was starting to feel lost.

It has never been this long.

Twenty days.

Every day she waited and tried to comfort herself.

Maybe in a few more days, or just a few more days...

She started to wonder if it was over.

everything is over.

Did the storyline of that world end after Yu Chen returned to the capital?

The connection between her and him has been severed.

Su Wuli still doesn't know how that connection was established, nor how it was maintained.

I don't know if it will break.

The only person she could think of to contact was Yu Chen.

She was always by his side, and he was always there for her.

There is nothing else.

Su Wuli began to wonder if he was already dead...

The thought made her stomach churn.

She swallowed the acid that rose to her throat, hastily suppressing the thought.

I can't do anything right now, and I don't know what to do.

All I know is that she waited every day, but never got to see him.
