Chapter 132: Chapter 22: The Clueless Sweetie Si Ruoqi Gives for Free_2
She stood there like a budding Tianshan snow lotus: pure, noble, to be admired from a distance but never defiled.
No wonder. Now he remembered it all. He finally understood why she looked so flushed and sick after her shower. He had thought she was ill with a fever, but it turned out she had been secretly looking at things she shouldn’t have.
After she finished her shower and dried her hair, Si Ruoqi found that the man on the couch had already fallen asleep. She quietly tidied up her laundry, turned off the living room light, and returned to her bedroom.
Lying in bed, her mind raced, unable to find peace. The man’s strong body kept replaying in her thoughts like a short video, making her feel hot all over and her limbs go weak.
As a thirty-year-old woman, single since birth and a virgin who had never even seen an adult video, the scene in the bathroom had been too much for her. It was so overwhelming that the image would surface the moment she closed her eyes.
Si Ruoqi, you shameless woman, why is your mind filled with such thoughts? she scolded herself as she tossed and turned, unable to sleep.
But she didn’t realize this was a normal physiological reaction. It was also normal that she had never heard of it, since for most of her peers, their first time was a distant memory. However, if you asked them about it, most could recall it with great clarity. The impact of a first time is so powerful that the memory can remain vivid for many, many years.
Unable to fall asleep in the dead of night, she got up as if possessed and walked toward the living room. The curtains weren’t drawn, and the light from a billboard outside illuminated the room, making everything quite clear even without the lights on.
She stopped as she approached the man. The couch was too small for his large frame, and when he had turned over in his sleep, the blanket had fallen to the floor. He was used to sleeping naked, but because he was sharing the room with a woman, he had considerately worn underwear. Even so, his muscular body was once again on full display, causing her blood to race and her temperature to rise.
I’m going to die!
she thought, covering her blushing cheeks, ashamed of what she had done tonight. Reason told her to leave immediately, but how could a woman’s reason ever win against her feelings? Her senses compelled her to stay, her feet seemingly nailed to the floor.Holding her breath, she reached out and gently touched his chest. The sensation was intoxicating.
"Xiao Li, let me hold you," he murmured suddenly in his sleep.
His words startled Si Ruoqi, almost scaring her out of her wits. She quickly realized he was just sleep-talking; his eyes were still closed, and he was sound asleep. She placed a hand on her chest, calming her frantic breathing.
The name he said in his sleep... that must be his girlfriend, right? For a moment, Si Ruoqi felt a pang of disappointment, but she was also relieved. It meant he hadn’t lied to her. He hadn’t just made up an excuse about having a girlfriend to reject her because he wasn’t interested.
So what if he has a girlfriend? I, Si Ruoqi, am not afraid of a little competition.
She turned to go back to her bedroom, but at that moment, a brilliant flash of lightning lit up the sky, followed by a deafening clap of thunder. A thunderstorm was rolling in. The successive rumbles of thunder frightened Si Ruoqi, and she reflexively dove onto the couch, clinging to the man and burying her head in his solid chest.
She had a weakness no one knew about: she was terrified of thunder. She had been this way since she was a child. But she was so stubborn that she had never told anyone, not even her parents. As long as she had something large to hold during a thunderstorm, her fear would subside. That was why she’d always kept a life-sized plush toy in her room. Her parents thought she just liked it, but in truth, she never gave it a second glance except to use it as a tool during thunderstorms.
Holding a real person felt much better than a plush toy. This was Si Ruoqi’s first thought as she held the man. It was also the first time in her life she had ever done this.
The crashing thunder and flashing lightning seemed to have no effect on the man beneath her; he slept on soundly. She pressed her face against his chest, rubbing it slowly. His skin was so nice—not rough at all, but smooth and soft. It felt wonderful against her face. She then pulled the blanket up from the floor, covering both of them. With the extra layer on top, she felt an even greater sense of security.
Before long, her pajamas felt redundant. She couldn’t fully enjoy the pleasant friction through the fabric. Quietly, she slipped them off, leaving her in just her underwear. Lying on her side and hugging the man tightly, she sighed. *Mmm, this is much more comfortable.* She suddenly felt that wearing clothes to bed was the stupidest thing imaginable. Sleeping naked was so much better. *He seems to enjoy sleeping naked, too.*
The lightning was frequent that night, flashing one bolt after another and brightly illuminating the living room. Gazing at the man’s handsome face, she didn’t know what came over her, but she leaned in. She swore to herself she had only intended to press her cheek against his, nothing more, but her lips wouldn’t obey. Unconsciously, they moved until they found his.
Then... her mind went blank. She forgot everything that happened after that. It seemed that even in his sleep, he responded to her kiss, his hands sleepwalking across her body. She didn’t know when, but her underwear vanished. The next step happened naturally.
She was completely bewildered. How did all this happen? How did it come to this? At first, she just couldn’t sleep and wanted to look at him. Then, the thunder scared her, and she needed a human-sized doll to hold. She had no idea how it had ended up like this.
「The next morning,」
Sun Dasheng pinched the face of the woman in his arms. "That’s your excuse," he said. "You’re a naughty girl, sneaking into my ’bed’ in the middle of the night and doing wicked things to me, weren’t you?"
Embarrassed, she buried her face in his chest and argued, "You’re wrong! I don’t know how it happened either! I’m not a naughty girl." As she spoke, she gave his chest a playful little bite.
Sun Dasheng looked at the woman in his arms, amused. So she’s such a sweet and naive girl, huh? This easy to fool? Most people learned about sex on their own, since it wasn’t taught in schools or by parents. But she... she was completely ignorant on the subject. Without his cooperation last night, how could she possibly have succeeded? Any other woman would have known that. The interesting thing was, she genuinely didn’t seem to know.
Thinking she had been the one to take advantage of Sun Dasheng, she had woken up that morning and declared that she would take responsibility for him, which made him burst out laughing. He had only been joking when he called her a naughty girl.
"Don’t worry, I’ll take responsibility for you," she insisted again. "It’s okay if you still have feelings for your girlfriend in Shanghai City. I’ll wait. When she doesn’t want you anymore, I will."
Si Ruoqi said all of this with a completely serious expression.
Sun Dasheng patted her bottom. "It’s getting late. Shouldn’t we be getting ready to leave?"
But she didn’t want to get up, craving the warmth of his body.
"Want to go for another round?" Sun Dasheng asked, kneading her butt cheeks.
"Can we?" Si Ruoqi’s gaze wasn’t shy; instead, she looked eager to try.
Oh snap! A woman this bold was a rare find indeed. Daring to challenge his authority like that... well, he couldn’t just let her off easy.
Soon, Si Ruoqi regretted her words. "This isn’t fun! Not fun at all!" she cried, utterly exhausted.
Last night had been her first time. Sun Dasheng had pretended to be asleep, so he had naturally kept his movements minimal and been as gentle as possible in his cooperation. That had led her to believe it was the norm. Little did she know, that was just him on autopilot. Once he turned it off, his full power was more than her small frame could handle.
Seeing how weak she looked, he hadn’t dared to use his full strength. Otherwise, he was afraid she wouldn’t be able to return to Shanghai City today and would need to rest here for a few more nights.
