Hearing this, Yuan Shu gave a wicked smile. She leaned close to Leng Shuxue, gazing at his exquisite profile, and gently brushed her lips against the corner of his mouth.
"Fourth Senior Brother says you missed me, but exactly how much did you miss me? Was it a fluttering heart and racing pulse? Or... was it like moving mountains and overturning seas, a stormy tempest?"
Yuan Shu's eyes were as alluring as silk. Her warm breath, accompanying her casual and soft tone, puffed against the skin of his cheek, making Leng Shuxue tense up completely.
He seemed to be very sensitive to Yuan Shu's scent now.
Just getting close and catching a whiff of it gave him an indescribable urge.
He wanted to get even closer!
Especially since Yuan Shu's small hands had already familiarly rested on his chest, stroking it rhythmically, neither too light nor too heavy.
Yet every touch seemed to push him to the edge of trembling.
Fine sweat beaded on Leng Shuxue's forehead. The hand resting on Yuan Shu's back pressed down slightly, as if he were trying his utmost to endure something.
His usually cold and clear voice instantly went hoarse.
"Shushu..."
"Calling my name so sweetly, is Fourth Senior Brother wanting to do something bad?"
Her enticing, bewitching voice rang in his ear.
Leng Shuxue's body tightened. Raising his deep, dark eyes, he could no longer hold back. He lowered his head and kissed that beguiling little mouth.
He did want to do something bad!
He wanted this little mouth to open for him, to accommodate everything of his, and to let him take whatever he desired!
The burning kiss, carrying days of longing, took only a moment to grow dissatisfied with a mere superficial touch.
Under Yuan Shu's guidance, he had long understood what kind of entanglement would make them both feel good.
He wanted to make Yuan Shu let out trembling moans for him too!
To that end, he worked very hard.
And Yuan Shu gradually lost herself in that crisp cedar scent, soon letting out the trembling sounds he desired.
But, it still wasn't enough!
He really missed her!
Whenever he had a free moment, the first things to appear in his mind were her sly, wicked smile, her enchanting pear blossom fragrance, and that deeply soft entanglement.
If their previous days together had been filled with apprehension and anticipation,
then during these days of not seeing her in the Death Demon Forest, he had been constantly longing and reminiscing.
Ever since Yuan Shu first came to his cave dwelling and threatened him to kiss her, this little face and this person had left an incredibly profound impression in his heart.
At first, he had indeed only played along for the sake of his legs.
But gradually, he began to look forward to her proactive kisses and approaches.
Before she even arrived, he would sit under that crabapple tree, looking down the mountain path over and over again.
Even when she was a little late, he would wonder if something had happened to her, unable to stop the worry in his heart.
Seeing Shen Qi and Shu Linyuan fighting to team up with her, an inexplicable sense of crisis rose within him.
Regardless of whether it would be presumptuous, he resolutely extended an invitation to her.
Even though he had never liked a girl before, he understood that this was him falling in love!
To be able to meet Yuan Shu, who was like a light during the darkest time of his life, was his good fortune!
This emotion made him unable to resist wanting to express it to Yuan Shu with reckless abandon.
The deep kiss, reckless and desperate, seemed as if it wanted to swallow everything of Yuan Shu into his stomach.
After tangling together for a full quarter of an hour, Leng Shuxue finally released her lips, his deep eyes quietly gazing at her.
"Shushu, is it okay to do a bad thing like this?"
"So this is what Fourth Senior Brother means by missing me?" Yuan Shu nestled in his embrace.
Her fair little face was dyed crimson, but her brows and eyes revealed a bewitching slyness.
"Shushu, do you think it's not enough?"
Leng Shuxue's gaze fell once again on Yuan Shu's crimson lips.
He actually wanted to kiss her more, but he was afraid Yuan Shu wouldn't be able to handle it.
As if seeing through his intentions, Yuan Shu reached out and gently pressed a finger against his lips.
"Fourth Senior Brother, let me look at your legs first."
Her main purpose for coming today was to check his legs.
Since she had promised to heal his legs, she naturally couldn't go back on her word.
The dark tides in the depths of Leng Shuxue's eyes paused for a moment before slowly fading away.
"Alright."
Shushu wanted to see his legs now; he needed to restrain himself.
However, once the leg inspection was done, he...
He would kiss her again!
Having made up his mind, Leng Shuxue reached out and firmly grasped Yuan Shu's wrist, pulling her back to the cave dwelling on the back mountain.
...
With tender white hands, Yuan Shu gently laid Leng Shuxue's legs flat on the opposite stool. She rolled up his pant legs and began her examination.
A moment later, the corners of her mouth curved up, and a smile rippled in her eyes. "They're recovering nicely. It seems you've been consistently taking the pills I gave you."
The condition of Leng Shuxue's legs was exactly as she had expected.
She was right to come today!
Before heading to the Death Demon Forest, Yuan Shu had given him the medicine to treat his legs, instructing him to take it on time.
The previous massages had already stimulated his acupoints, getting the meridians in his legs moving again.
After more than half a month of treatment, the demonic poison in his legs had been almost completely cleared out.
Now, all he needed to stand up again was an opportunity.
"Fourth Senior Brother, I have a way that will allow you to stand up by tomorrow."
Leng Shuxue was slightly taken aback. He looked up at Yuan Shu in disbelief.
After this period of massages and medication, he had indeed felt some changes in his legs.
Occasionally, there was a tiny bit of strength, allowing him to move them slightly.
But, he was still far from being able to stand up!
Let alone tomorrow, even by the end of the month, whether he could stand would be a question.
Yet Yuan Shu spoke with such certainty at this moment.
"Shushu, are... are you serious?"
"Of course I'm serious! The demonic poison in your legs is actually mostly cured, but if you want to stand up, you'll need a little stimulation from my secret formula."
Yuan Shu nodded affirmatively. "I just don't know if Fourth Senior Brother is willing to entrust his body completely to me."
"I can! You can do whatever you want!"
Almost the moment Yuan Shu's voice faded, Leng Shuxue eagerly agreed.
He dreamed of standing up!
Not to mention, he now trusted Yuan Shu implicitly.
No matter what she asked of him, he would definitely cooperate!
Yuan Shu smiled, a wicked grin appearing on her stunningly beautiful little face.
"Then tonight, Fourth Senior Brother should bathe and change his clothes. As soon as the Hour of Xu arrives, I will come to treat Fourth Senior Brother's legs!"
"Alright."
Yuan Shu packed up her things, preparing to leave, but was held back by Leng Shuxue.
Seeing Leng Shuxue gazing up slightly with deep eyes, the corners of Yuan Shu's mouth curled. "Fourth Senior Brother, do you still want to do bad things?"
"Shushu... we haven't seen each other for ten days."
Leng Shuxue's tone was cool and pleasant to the ear, but right now it carried an inexplicable hint of grievance.
Yuan Shu tilted her head. She had originally intended to save him some energy, considering that tonight during the Hour of Xu, she would give him an unforgettable leg-healing experience.
However, meeting Leng Shuxue's eyes that faintly held anticipation and yearning, Yuan Shu felt that collecting a little interest first wouldn't be a big problem.
She smoothly sat down into Leng Shuxue's embrace, hooked her arms around his neck, and the next moment, proactively offered her lips.
Leng Shuxue's eyes trembled. With one hand wrapping around her waist and the other supporting her neck, he passionately deepened the kiss!
...
