81 Then benwang is allowed to do this to you as well Part IV
“Hey, sis! Give me your ailaine.”
Xu Luanle barged into her building early in the morning. Bai Yu who had just finished having breakfast at the main building had to hurry back to meet her guest, who visited often the Yue family mansion without an ounce of care for people’s eyes.
“What about yours?”
“Last night I just started practicing when little sis came in and said there was no need for a man to be beautiful, then she took my ailaine!” Xu Luanle bemoaned, using his sleeve to wipe his tears. But Bai Yu had no sympathy for him.
“But why are you using mine?”
“If I use mine then it’ll run out! Stop complaining. Just give me yours.” Xu Luanle sat down, crossed his legs, and fanned himself with his new fan, contentedly waiting for a new eyeliner from her. Bai Yu nodded and ordered Xiao Chang to bring one to her before telling both maids to bring snacks for the guest.
“I think I’ll apply it on one eye, then you do the other eye while following my example. Sounds good?”
“Deal!”
Before this, she taught them by applying it to herself and letting them follow her. Bai Yu could easily open her eyes while applying eyeliner, but the other two were struggling, so today she decided to change her teaching method.
.....
“Come closer. Give me your face.” She dragged her chair closer toward Xu Luanle and carefully drew a line onto his monolid eye.
Because of her habit, while applying make-up and her seeing Xu Luanle as a close friend, Bai Yu did not feel shy when their faces were close to each other. She stared at Xu Luanle’s eyelid, concentrated, not noticing that there was another guest who rushed to meet her in the morning right after hearing that she had returned. She also did not know that from the angle of that person, it looked as if she and Xu Luanle were kissing.
“Mmmm...Yu-er,” Xu Luanle made a strange noise and even snaked his hand to hold her waist.
Bai Yu paused. Her brows furrowed.
“Who are you? Don’t you know that Meihua residence is off limits!”
Xiao Chang and Xiao Xi’s voices notified her of a newcomer. Bai Yu turned her gaze away from her friend toward the said trespasser.
The tall figure of Ouyang Feilong stood at the entrance. A spot where he could see the two people in the parlor. His delicate but indifferent face was as usual, yet his heart was burning with bizarre heat.
“Benwang only came here to give this to Miss Bai. Apologies for picking the wrong time to interrupt.” Mocking words were uttered from his thin lips. He handed a letter to Xiao Chang. When the two maids heard how he addressed himself, they instantly curtsied to greet him and asked for mercy for offending the royalty who they had never met before.
Seeing that the visitor was Ouyang Feilong, Bai Yu immediately let go of the eyeliner and went toward him. She had been away for several days to Donghai market, it was natural that she would have a souvenir for him. Bai Yu had even forgotten about her older brother, but when she saw a certain thing that reminded her of him, she decided to buy it.
“Blessings to Wang-”
“Benwang has to go.”
Her greeting was stopped by a sudden movement. The person to who she had intended to give a souvenir suddenly turned and walked away.
Bai Yu frowned. She held the gift in a small pouch that she kept on herself at all times because she was not sure when she would see Rui Wang again. But when they could meet, he hurried away without giving her a chance to say anything. And those golden eyes that were so cold toward her...
What does that mean?
“You’re not going after him?” Her friend said behind her. It was as if he was repeating what she was repeatedly asking herself after Ouyang Feilong walked away. She was deciding whether she should follow him or not. But if she did not, she felt that she could not just go back to her room.
Her hand tightly held the pouch, the other handheld her skirt as she ran out onto the carpet of snow. Red magic enveloped her feet that were only wearing socks. She was afraid that if she stopped wearing her shoes, she would not be able to catch up to the tall person whose pace was much faster.
“Wangye!” Bai Yu called the foul-mouthed man who was strangely silent today. Even when she called him, there was no sign that he would stop. Bai Yu used all her strength to run faster so that she could block his way.
Ouyang Feilong stopped as soon as she stood in front of him. “Is something the matter, Miss Bai?”
Bai Yu panted.
“If there’s nothing, then don’t block benwang’s way.”
His golden eyes were looking at her like she was only a roadside pebble. The heart that was racing from exerting herself stuttered.
Did she do something to anger him?
“I just want to give you a souvenir from Donghai.”
“Benwang doesn’t need it.”
The hand that was holding out a small pouch stopped.
“Is that all? Then step aside. If you remain here for too long, that close friend of yours will be dissatisfied that benwang interrupts you two too often.”
Bai Yu narrowed her eyes at the person who was talking to her yet casting his cold gaze in the other direction. This is the ultimate level of sulking, right?
“I’ve already said that Master Xu is a friend.”
“And benwang didn’t misunderstand anything.” He still did not look at her. There was no glimpse of her shadow in his golden eyes at all.
“Wangye is also a friend and did not interrupt anything. Why would Wangye be in so much of a hurry to leave?”
Ouyang Feilong turned to meet the dark eyes of the woman who ran after him without wearing her shoes properly, despite knowing that women should not show their feet to others. Or was it because she was like this that he no longer had to restrain himself?
“You said that Master Xu is your friend.”
“That’s correct.”
“You said that benwang is also your friend.”
“Yes.”
“Last time, you hugged benwang as a friend, the same way you did with Master Xu?”
“That...” Bai Yu pressed her lips together, vaguely feeling that what Ouyang Feilong said was right while her heart objected that something was not right. “That is also correct.”
“Then benwang is allowed to do this to you as well.”
“What are-Mmm...”
Her mouth was sealed by the person who was called a friend. She did not realize when she was pressed to his broad chest. Her waist was tightly embraced, constricted as if he wanted to keep her with him. The large hand that had stroked her head so gently now entwined its fingers with her silky strands. He used that same hand to hold the back of her neck, forcing her to raise her head and accept the kiss that was abruptly stolen from her.
Her dark eyes widened in surprise. Her lips were nipped and sucked so much that it started to hurt. That same hurt jerked her consciousness back and she started struggling to get away from the other person. But his arms were too strong. Bai Yu could only drain herself until she ran out of strength. Her mouth was completely blocked. There was no chance of escape.
It was not that she had never kissed before. She had been through it all in her past life...
But not in this body. With this person. She has never done it before!
The two hearts were pounding, racing so fast that they could be felt. Ouyang Feilong wanted to teach the unreserved woman at first. He did not know what compelled him to pull her into a kiss, but when he did, sweetness from those red lips rendered him powerless to stop himself.
Bai Yu’s mouth was invaded by his aggressive tongue. Her tongue was intertwined and sucked. Her whole mouth was seized, its sweetness freely plundered. His strong hand at her nape held her still to continue the deep kiss.
Bai Yu could only hear her heart that was beating out of rhythm. Her head was blank white as if she had returned to when she first knew the taste of a first kiss. She was starting to get out of breath.
“Mmm...m...mm...” She used her fist to hit his chest. But it seemed to have no effect on the general at all. She had to protest with the sound in her throat.
Ouyang Feilong frowned. He knew that she was at her limit, but that sound made him want to take from her more and more. Sharp pain from his upper arm pulled in rationality back to the surface.
Bai Yu dug her nails into his arm with all her strength. Right now, she had completely forgotten that she had both martial arts and magic. She crumpled onto the floor as soon as Ouyang Feilong loosen his embrace and let her go. She opened her mouth that was sucked red, taking in air as much as she could. Her clothes were all rumpled. Her hair is in disarray.
The black dragon looked at her and wanted to hold her against him again.
But when her dark eyes turned up to meet his, Ouyang Feilong was stunned.
“You’re a fool just as much as I am!”
What kind of friend would do this?!
No words of farewell. Not even a word to reflect rank. Only a small pouch was thrown at the broad chest with the little strength that she had left. She had wanted to properly hand it to him, but now it was rudely thrown.
Even worse, she ran away from where he was standing. After she had yelled at him, she was no longer angry. But the reason that made her run away was that she did not know what was going on with her.
