“Liar.” Li Yuan extended his arm to pinch Shen Xi’s earlobe. The girl was not crafty at lying as her ears turning red in a fluster were a dead giveaway.

Her pink earlobes appeared appealing, inviting him for a nibble.

Before Shen Xi could make her escape, he gnawed her earlobe between his lips. With a numbing sensation electrocuting her from under her skin, she turned teary and mewed softly, “Brother.”

As his heart melted by her gentle cry, Li Yuan was floating on cloud nine. He swallowed hard and tilted his head to seal her lips.

Hooking him by the neck, Shen Xi covertly responded to him.

The heat in the study rose as their hastened breaths intertwined in passion.

It was only until Shen Xi lost her breath and fireworks exploded in her mind that she was held into the man’s arms between gasps.

Shen Xi was panting for air as she buried her head against his neck, speaking in a lingering moan like dream murmurs to him and herself, “Brother, I’m not kidding. I’m here to repay your kindness.”

Whatever she said before were lies while this statement came from the heart. She came for him to give him all the love and pull him out of his world to her side to repay his kindness.

However, Shen Xi would never tell him the struggles she went through back then. She was confident that he would believe her story, but she did not want him to relive her pain.

“Repay what kindness?” Li Yuan’s deep and sensual voice carried the huskiness of lust. He kissed the girl on the forehead. “I should be the one to repay you.”

“You don’t know I once had a dream. I was a white bunny in my previous life, tortured and left for dead at the trash can. You took pity on me and collected my remains. You even avenged me.” Putting on a serious face, Shen Xi said.

She uttered so casually as if it was a story and a joke. Nevertheless, Li Yuan’s face fell as his heart sank to his stomach. He held the girl tightly without a word.

Picking up on his somber mood, Shen Xi nudged him. “The eggs are getting cold. My eyes are still swollen. Am I still your big baby or not?”

He would believe every word that came out of her mouth. If he took her seriously, Li Yuan would pursue with more questions and crack her open like an egg. It was not her intention for him to find out about her past.

Li Yuan carried the girl to the sofa and propped her head under a cushion before retrieving the eggs.

Tilting her head, Shen Xi observed him as he peeled the eggshells and wrapped the eggs with gauze. Li Yuan tested the temperature on his face and turned to her. “Close your eyes.”

Shen Xi closed her eyes, but her mouth would not stop. “Brother, would we still be together in the next life?”

There were many inexplicable miracles in the world. She was not a believer but now she was because she died and transmigrated in the realm of fiction.

“Didn’t you ask this question in our past life?” Li Yuan gently massaged around her eyes while muttering in an affectionate voice.

With her heart melting, Shen Xi curled her lips. “Brother, you’re so smooth.”

Li Yuan leaned in for a peck on the lips before inquiring with a smile. “How smooth?”

Smacking her lips, Shen Xi licked her lips as if to relive the taste. She soon replied, “Smoother than butter.”

Li Yuan chuckled and he was fixated on the girl. Deep inside his eyes, there was an irresolvable heartache and doubt about her half-truths just now.

He knew she experienced hell with the Su family. However, his fair lady was so kind. She would not go in for the kill if that was the extent of her grudge with them.

She must be keeping a lot of things from him. Should he bring it up or wait for her to tell him one day?

Shen Xi was left wanting for more. “It’s not enough. I want more.”

Li Yuan gazed at the girl’s moist lips. “Your mouth is swollen.”

Shen Xi licked her lips in passing, sending a rather sensual message.

Feeling a rush in his blood, Li Yuan was parched in the throat as a burning flame danced around his eyes. His voice was raspy. “Stop squirming.”

Shen Xi went on her best behavior and hummed an acknowledgement through pursed lips.

Pulling himself together, Li Yuan continued to gently apply the eggs to reduce her swelling while his heart was thumping out of his chest.

‘That night, Shen Xi was going to hug her human pillow to sleep for sure. She let out a contented sigh. “That hits the spot.”

It had been too long since she held her pillow. Still, Shen Xi learned from Yan Xiaoxiao to acquire a life-size pillow of him.

She would not be so bold to put that life-size pillow at home. It would be troublesome if Mom and Dad found out. After the pillow was produced, Shen Xi had it sent to the school to keep in her dormitory.

Li Yuan clutched onto the back of the girl’s head to hold her still. Otherwise, he would lose his willpower and take her.

Yet, Shen Xi remained ignorant, believing her human pillow, from head to toe, belonged to her. She could not keep her hands to herself, and his words only aggravated the fondling. She whined in displeasure, “I’m only touching a little, Mr. Stingy!”

Unable to hide the hots for her, Li Yuan huffed into her ear. “I won’t be able to hold it in.”

He was a man, and a normal man at that. With his beloved lady in his arms, he was trying so hard to restrain the beast within.

Shen Xi played innocent and she threw back a serious question. “What should we do about it?”

Grinding his teeth, Li Yuan nibbled her rosy earlobe and growled a scratchy yet sexy voice, “What do you think? I’ll have to get someone to put out the fire.”

Shen Xi closed her eyes and stayed put.

Now that the girl quieted down, Li Yuan tucked her in and lay down.

Shen Xi opened her eyes and looked at him. “Why haven’t you left?”

Li Yuan replied, “Where to?”

Shen Xi answered, “To get someone to put the fire out.”

Looking at the girl playing dumb, Li Yuan turned over and pressed down on her body. He hissed through clenched teeth, “Do you really not know what I was talking about?”

Shen Xi raised her hands in surrender. “My bad.”

Li Yuan flicked the head of the cowardly girl. “I might just sleep on a separate bed if you try anything again.”

Shen Xi played it coy. “I knew I was wrong.”

The pair’s giggles filled the bedroom with happiness.

That night.

Shen Xi slept like a baby.

On the other hand, Li Yuan had a long, devastating, and miserable dream.
