After the passionate encounter, when Shu Yao woke up again, it was already the Hour of the Rooster. The sun was setting, and the afterglow of the setting sun painted the sky.
Shu Yao didn't know how that man still had so much energy even though he was injured. The man's actions had left his legs trembling, and his lower body ached and went numb as if it had been run over by a cartwheel.
Looking back, he found that the man was no longer beside him. Then his gaze fell on his naked body. The mottled love - bites, like mulberries, seemed to testify to the lingering passion during their love - making. It made his cheeks flush like a rosy cloud, and he couldn't help cursing the beast - like man in his heart.
He draped the thin red brocade robe over his frail body. Enduring the soreness, he got out of the bed. As soon as his feet touched the ground, his legs went weak, and he almost fell. At that moment, a strong hand accurately grabbed his slender waist.
Looking up suddenly, he saw a handsome face that could bewitch all sentient beings. It was like a perfect sculpture, clearly magnifying the three - dimensional facial features in front of his eyes.
"Father, be careful. Don't fall," Shu Yue said. At this time, he was only wearing a black robe, casually leaving his chest exposed. His black hair scattered on his shoulders and chest, looking rather suave.
To put it bluntly, in Shu Yao's eyes, he was smiling as frivolously as a hooligan. He didn't know how this man could be so thick - skinned.
"Get away from me. Don't touch me," Shu Yao pushed him away forcefully and instinctively tightened his robe, fearing that the man would assault him again.
There were so many precedents, so it was very possible.
Moreover, Shu Yue's desires and possessiveness were extremely strong. The "torture" he had endured this morning was enough to prove it.
"Father is still angry..." Shu Yue regretted his impulse. He knew that his father was the kind of person who would yield to soft persuasion rather than coercion, but he still forced himself on him because he couldn't control his inner desires.
But with such a beauty in front of him, anyone would be tempted. Moreover, he was in the prime of his youth with strong male hormones...
"Father, don't be angry anymore. You hit me so hard, and I didn't even say a word," he said. It was true. When he came to his senses, the wound was tearing with pain, but he never complained.
"You deserved it!"
"Yes, yes, I deserved it. But the fact is already there, and this isn't the first time we've done this," he murmured softly, not expecting that Shu Yao could still hear him clearly.
Shu Yao glared at him angrily and shamefully: "Shu Yue, say that again?!"
Seeing that the situation was not good, Shu Yue had a smart idea: to run away!
"I, I'm cooking porridge on the fire. I'll go and check it. Father, wait here," he said and then left in a hurry, leaving behind a fleeing figure...
"Phew, so close..." After running outside the tree - house, Shu Yue gasped for breath. He patted his chest, feeling lucky to have escaped this "life - and - death disaster".
It seemed that in the future, he shouldn't provoke his father casually. When his father got angry, the consequences would be very serious!
Just then, a soft and ethereal female voice called his name from behind, which was extremely touching: "Shu Yue."
He felt that the voice was very familiar, but he just couldn't remember who it was.
When he turned around, he saw a figure in white clothes, accompanied by a beautiful and clear face, clearly engraved in his pupils.
It was her!
"Liuli? Why are you here?" He hadn't seen this woman for a long time, and she was almost just a faint shadow in his memory.
Seeing her again, she was still as cold and charming as ever. There was a coldness in her extremely beautiful eyes, with a hint of alluring charm.
Her beautiful eyes sparkled with affection. When she looked at him, her expression was full of tenderness and shyness.
"I haven't seen you for a long time. I came to see you," Liuli said. Her hands were placed at a 45 - degree angle on her waist. She took light steps and walked towards the man she had been longing for.
When she got closer and they could see every detail of each other's faces, Shu Yue took a step back, clearly showing his estrangement from Liuli.
His indifference made him ignore the flash of disappointment on her peerless face and the complex emotions hidden in her eyes.
"I'm fine. You don't need to worry about me," Shu Yue said simply and clearly from beginning to end. His cold eyes had no focus and showed no trace of tenderness.
Liuli felt a faint bitterness welling up in her heart because of the man's coldness. She was just about to pour out her grievances when she was shocked by the half - exposed wound on Shu Yue's body and swallowed her words back.
Those wounds were so shocking that they made her scared and heart - broken.
"What happened to you?" She stepped forward and, without hesitation, opened Shu Yue's robe. Her eyes were full of pain as she questioned him.
"What are you doing! This is my business. It has nothing to do with you," Shu Yue frowned and avoided Liuli's touch. He pulled his robe back on and turned his back to her without saying a word.
Liuli walked around to his front, but Shu Yue turned his head away again, trying his best not to face her. His heroic eyebrows were still as cold as ever.
"Shu Yue, you don't have to say it, but it won't be difficult for me to find out. But if something bad happens in the end, don't blame me," she said calmly, but there was a hint of warning in her words.
Shu Yue slowly turned around, squinting his eyes slightly, with a cold and fierce look in them. He said word by word, coldly and decisively:
"Liuli, I'll say it one more time. My business has nothing to do with you. If you want to interfere, I can't stop you. But if anything bad happens in the end, it has nothing to do with me either."
After saying this, there was no trace of emotion left. The tenderness in Liuli's eyes disappeared, and now she looked cold and heart - chilling.
"Shu Yue, you're truly heartless," she said. There was a faint smile on her lips, but it seemed ironic and pale.
She herself didn't know why, in front of this man, she, who was usually noble and proud, would be so humble.
She was the noble princess of the Fox Clan, a pearl held in the palms of her father and mother. All her kind would bow and flatter her when they saw her. But this mortal could just look down on her.
But she just fell in love with this cold - blooded soul and got deeper and deeper into this love, unable to extricate herself.
"I have something to do. I won't keep you. I won't see you off," Shu Yue ignored the desolation on her face and still coldly left a few words. Then he turned around resolutely without leaving any trace.
The wind blew, leaving her alone. Rejected again and again, Liuli's patience finally reached its limit. An inappropriate thought suddenly came to her mind.
She wanted to possess this man. She wanted Shu Yue to obey her for the rest of his life, to be nice only to her, and to belong only to her.
As this thought became stronger and stronger, she returned to the Fox Clan and found her guardian, her elder brother - Liu Yuhan.
