1213 I Don’t Want to Wait Anymore Now

He walked towards her.

Shen Li’s gaze was fixed on the ashtray on the coffee table for a moment where she could vaguely see a few cigarette butts.

Her heart tightened.

“When did Second Brother wake up?”

Lu Huaiyu noticed her gaze and held her hand. He did not answer her question, merely saying, “I didn’t really smoke.”

Other than the first time when he had not been able to control himself and had taken a puff, he had not moved after that.

Afraid that the young girl would be sad again, he had let the cigarette burn out between his fingers.

“Is the smell very strong? If you don’t like it, I’ll go take a shower.”

He smoothed her hair which was a little messy from sleeping.

Shen Li shook her head, wrapped her arms around his waist, and nuzzled her face against his chest.

“No need. I just woke up and saw that you weren’t there, so I thought you went out.”

The cold scent of cedar on his body was mixed with a faint smell of tobacco, which was almost intoxicating.

He seemed to laugh.

“Didn’t I tell you that I would be here to watch over you?”

He caressed her head.

“Are you hungry? What would you like to eat?”

It would have been better if he had not mentioned it, but now that he had, she really started to feel a little hungry.

She nodded and looked up at him.

“Sweet and sour pork ribs?”

He responded, “Alright.”

She retreated from his arms and said, “Then I’ll go–”

He grabbed her hand and said, “Didn’t you only just wake up? Rest for a while. I’ll do it. ”

The logic of his words seemed a little strange, but Shen Li had slept for a long time in the afternoon and she had not fully recovered yet so she nodded in confusion.

In everyone’s eyes, the Lu family’s second master was proud and noble, a flower that was truly out of this world.

But in fact, whenever he was with her, he did most of these things.

From the time he had accompanied her during the college entrance examination until now, he had always been meticulous and considerate towards her.

She had long been used to his care and being pampered by him.

Lu Huaiyu walked towards the kitchen.

Click.

He turned on the lights.

The room instantly brightened up. Shen Li saw him opening the refrigerator door and taking out ingredients one by one.

She dragged her feet in her slippers and followed him. The little rabbit’s ears on the slippers swayed.

“White fungus porridge?”

“Alright,” he said.

Lu Huaiyu began to process the ingredients in an orderly manner.

Shen Li sat down on a high stool beside the kitchen island and suddenly thought of something.

“Ah, Second Brother, your injury…”

She had said that she would be coming over to take care of him, but in the end, she was the one being taken care of.

Lu Huaiyu’s thin lips curled up slightly.

“Don’t worry, I’m already fine.”

It had only been a scratch, and he had a good recovery ability.

Shen Li was still a little worried.

“Then, if you feel uncomfortable later, let me know.”

Lu Huaiyu’s actions paused for a moment before he said, “Alright.”

…

Shen Li woke up late and found that it was already eight o’clock by the time the meal was ready.

She looked at the dishes on the table: sweet and sour ribs, boiled Chinese broccoli, and vegetarian delicacies.

“Second Brother, isn’t that too much?” She shook her foot lightly. “Actually, I’m not that hungry.”

Lu Huaiyu was in the middle of serving her a bowl of soup.

“It doesn’t matter if you can’t finish it.”

She jumped off the stool, came behind him, and wrapped her arms around his waist.

“Thank you, Second Brother.”

Of all the fantasies she had about him, this was a scene that she had never imagined in her dreams.

Lu Huaiyu turned around and kissed her on the forehead.

“Shen Tangtang, how could you be so easily bought over?”

She looked up, her peach blossom-shaped eyes curved into a beautiful arc.

He pulled her to sit down and placed a piece of rib into her bowl.

“Let’s eat.”

She obediently replied, “Oh.”

…

It was nine o’clock when they finished dinner.

Shen Li returned to the living room and picked up the book. She looked up at Lu Huaiyu and asked, “Second Brother, you’ve hidden this book for so long. Have you read it?”

Lu Huaiyu’s gaze was fixed on the book for a moment.

“I’ve read it.”

Many times.

His gaze fell on her face as he carefully scrutinized her.

“I’ve wondered about what kind of person the book’s owner was.”

She blinked.

“Now you know.”

He laughed.

“Yes.”

In fact, she had exceeded all his expectations.

It was like a gift from the heavens that had slipped through the gaps between his fingers, giving him full perfection.

She looked down at the book in her hand, her hand gently brushing the faint blood marks on the cover.

At that time, he must have held on to it very tightly, which was why there were such marks.

She had never thought that one day, this book would be found, and he would come to her side.

Lu Huaiyu came up behind her.

“Ah Li.”

“What?”

She turned around.

He wrapped an arm around her waist and kissed her.

The kiss had suddenly come, but it was gentle and patient.

He nibbled her soft lips, grinding and sucking, both lightly and heavily.

Her body temperature seemed to rise as his hot breath fell upon her.

At such a close distance, the cold scent of cedar on his body mixed with the faint smell of tobacco easily lingered around her.

He pried open her lips.

She opened her mouth slightly.

However, he did not enter. He merely licked her full lower lip and moved to the side.

His kiss landed on her ear.

The more he breathed, the stronger his arms around her waist became.

Yet, he kissed her very lightly.

She had not expected him to suddenly withdraw like this. Her face instantly turned red, as she became angry and embarrassed.

“Lu… Hmm!”

A short and soft moan suddenly came out of her throat.

He had suddenly bitten her fair, tender earlobe.

He had always been very gentle in the past, but this time, he used a lot of force and she felt a slight pain.

She instantly felt wronged.

“… It hurts…”

He softened his movements again and sucked her pitiful and tender earlobe into his mouth, comforting her carefully.

She was extremely sensitive here. After a while, the pain dissipated and gradually turned into an unbearable itch.

Suddenly, a wet heat brushed past her ear.

Her body trembled uncontrollably, and her hands and feet went soft. The book fell onto the sofa.

Her back was pressed against his chest through the thin clothes.

She could clearly feel his chest shake, as if he was smiling.

Her face instantly turned even redder. She grabbed the hand that he had placed on her waist and tried to break free.

His other hand cupped her chin, and his slightly calloused fingers pressed against her full, soft lips. He said in a low voice, “I thought you didn’t give it to me?”

She was angry and embarrassed. As revenge, she bit his thumb hard.

His entire body tensed up.

At the next second, he pulled her into his arms.

Feeling something, her arrogant demeanor immediately weakened.

He lowered his head and looked into her eyes, his voice slightly husky.

“Shen Tangtang, didn’t I tell you to grow up quickly?”

Her eyes were sparkling.

He said, “I don’t want to wait anymore.”
