Chapter 48: Sobriety and Gratitude
At this moment, the last shred of reason in Lin Hai's mind had long since vanished, leaving him acting purely on instinct.
Su Wanjing let out a soft whimper of "Wu" as they kissed passionately, but did not resist; instead, she compliantly closed her eyes.
No man had ever touched her body before; as one of the two great ice beauties of Huadu, she was extremely sensitive. A light sweat formed on her forehead, her rosy cheeks and the sweet fragrance of her somewhat rapid breathing felt exhilarating.
"Do not leave me, I swear, even if I lose my life, I won't let you suffer the slightest, forgive me, Little Scorpion, never leave me again..." Lin Hai's bewildered eyes held a trace of determination as he clutched his head and let out a painful roar.
In the midst of his agony, it seemed that only the intoxicating fragrance could bring him some relief. Lin Hai ferociously tore off his own clothes, revealing his robust and sturdy shoulders and chest.
Su Wanjing hooked one arm around Lin Hai's neck, while her other hand gently caressed his sharp, chiseled face, as they once more fell into a frenzy of kissing.
Lin Hai's breathing became more and more rapid and uncontrollably impulsive. It had been more than half a year since he'd last touched a woman, and his extraordinary body constitution also made his physical needs unusually intense.
It had always been his rationality that suppressed these primal urges.
Now, amidst the pain and struggle of his memories, that rationality could no longer be restrained, like a flood breaking through the dam, rushing forward with roaring waves.
Even though his actions were rough, there was an innate quality in his bones—a man's instinctual protection of women.
Rugged but not rough, with gentleness in his forceful embrace.
In the midst of her hurried breathing, Su Wanjing seemed to have forgotten all worries and sorrows, just wanting to spend time with the man in front of her who inexplicably brought her joy, and yet also heartache, longing to be held in his arms and to whisper sweet confessions into his ear.
They kissed with abandon, comforting each other passionately.
Su Wanjing's hand reached downwards unconsciously, and suddenly, she regained a trace of lucidity.
Her heart trembled slightly, stirring her hair. At this moment, Su Wanjing's eyes cleared.
What kind of man is this, that she would tremble in her heart and lose her guard in the face of his bewildered, beast-like gaze, nearly surrendering her first time in a haze.
Yet, when she saw Lin Hai's gleaming upper body, she was stunned, a look of incredulous shock crossing her beautiful eyes as she covered her small, adorable mouth.
Countless dense and fierce scars adorned Lin Hai's upper body, scars that bore the mark of the years, almost arrogantly proclaiming the heart-wrenching sorrow of a man whose past once made countless young girls' hearts break and brought them to tears, seeking blindly to immerse themselves in him, while also stirring the blood of numerous young men in awe and terror.
On Lin Hai's chest were bullet holes, knife wounds, and dagger punctures—this supposedly most fatal part of the body had sustained many scars, which, refracted by sunlight through the car window, looked dazzlingly luminous, possessing a unique allure.
Su Wanjing looked at Lin Hai, who was now bowing his head with deep and heavy breathing, and felt her heart shake: "What kind of man is he? What kind of terrible experiences has he faced to have his body covered in scars, each one telling the world of the dangers he has faced?"
Such a man should be a true hot-blooded hero, one who has survived countless cruelties, who has fought unyieldingly in both life-threatening and desperate situations, and emerged a top Expert.
"What kind of experiences have you gone through to have those marks, branded by the smoke of war, deeply imprinted into your body, changing you from a person full of spirit, qi and mind, to someone willing to lie in hiding in a company as an obscure security guard Xiaobao?" The most up‑to‑date version is on M4VLEMP4YR.
A man's scars can sometimes be an unusual charm, enough to enthrall countless young girls, not excluding the ice queens.
Su Wanjing's Sixth Sense told her that Lin Hai was a man with a story, and definitely not a bad person. Just the incident of their encounter in the bar that night was enough to prove he was a principled man.
Before Su Wanjing could ponder further, Lin Hai let out another low growl, tearing his trousers apart, while his hand, like a ferocious tiger descending upon a hill, reached towards Su Wanjing.
A tiger, extending its paw, pouncing towards Su with the swiftness of lightning.
…
After a long while, Lin Hai's restless state gradually subsided.
A glint of clarity flashed through the haze in his eyes, and he dumbfoundedly looked at the elastic waistband left on his body, the underwear marked "I am a tiger" about to break.
Turning to Su Wanjing, her cheeks were still flushed with a rosy hue.
"Wh-what?" Lin Hai's eyes bulged, finding the current scene sensual, yet he seemed to have lost his reason and knew nothing of what had happened.
In this situation, did he really… did he really have that pure relationship that went beyond friendship with Su Wanjing? Lin Hai himself couldn't figure it out.
With her head nestled against Lin Hai's chest and her pretty face pressed close to his burning hot torso, Su Wanjing, full of shy blush, kept her gaze lowered without uttering a word.
"What the heck did I do?" Lin Hai knocked on his head hard, inhaling deeply, not daring to contemplate the current reality.
"You're awake?" Su Wanjing asked, still shyly lowering her head, not daring to look at Lin Hai.
"Uh, just now… just now…" Lin Hai stuttered, at a loss for words.
"You scared me just now, too wild, I almost got devoured by you..." Su Wanjing said, her delicate arms covering her hidden parts, her voice filled with embarrassment.
Gulp. Lin Hai swallowed hard, his hands uncomfortably unsure where to be placed, and timidly asked, "So did I actually… eat you?"
