Insufficient balance

  (Today is a double update, this is the first one.)

  "Fish, I desire; bear's paw, I also desire. The two cannot be obtained at the same time, so I give up fish and take bear's paw. Life, I desire; righteousness, I also desire. The two cannot be obtained at the same time, so I give up life and take righteousness..."

  Suddenly, the sound of children reading from a distance came into the small wooden house, probably from a private school near the street. Xue Chongxun was about to say something, but when he heard this reading voice, he suddenly closed his mouth and sat silently for a long time.

  The small room was getting warmer and warmer, initially making people feel very comfortable, warm and cozy, but after Xue Chongxun added water several times, it gradually became hotter than the hottest summer days, and sweat quickly emerged from the skin of both.

  "You Yuwen stared at him resentfully: 'What do you want after all?'"

  Xue Chongxun did not answer her question, but walked to the wall, pulled open a hidden drawer on the wall, took out a hemp rope, and said slowly with a leisurely expression: "In ancient times, governing by knotting ropes was used more during the Zhou Dynasty, and now it is also an art. You may know that people in the Teaching Department who have some reputation must know at least twenty-four arts, and using ropes is indispensable; if you don't know, then you must know that twenty years ago when my grandmother was in power, there was a famous cruel official named Fu Youyi."

  "Fu Youyi is a treacherous official, what exactly do you want to say with your roundabout talk?" Yuwen Ji said, apparently somewhat impatient due to her loss of favor towards Xue Chongxun.

  Xue Chongxun smiled and said: "Fu Youyi is a master of rope, I just suddenly thought of him."

  Yuwen Ji then vaguely realized what Xue Chongxun wanted to do, and she said with shame and anger: "Really didn't expect, you are such a person!" After that, she suddenly stood up.

  "Halt! Your father, Yuwen Xiao, has committed so many heinous crimes that defy the heavens and think that by climbing into the bed of Gao Lishi's family, he can rest easy. Does he know heaven and earth? I'll tell you, anyone who dares to affect the grain transportation for these two years is an enemy of the entire Tang Empire. With just one word from me, annihilating your Yuwen family would be effortless!"

  Yuwen Ji sat back on the couch with a dejected look, biting her lip, and the rouge on her face was already smudged by herself.

  Xue Chongxun said faintly, "As long as you stay, no matter what, until the evening, I'll let you go. Then I'll remember your family's affairs in my heart. Whether Yuwen Xiao wants to start anew or make amends, it has nothing to do with me."

  Yuwen Ji's eyes were dull and she sat for a long time before saying, "I agree with you."

  "Alright, now you take off your own clothes."

  Yuwen Ji was so sad and angry that she almost cried again, while Xue Chongxun said lightly: "Wearing clothes, how can I use a rope?"

  A thread of silk slowly left her body, a difficult and slow process, perhaps her heart was struggling with hesitation. Like peeling off the cocoon and pulling out the silk, Yuwen Ji revealed her purest side, her nearly perfect body, like a ripe fruit, also like newly peeled spring bamboo shoots, clean and moist, with the pure dew of early spring. This delicate woman had a waist as slender as a snake, long and beautiful legs.

  Xue Chongxun simply said in a casual tone: "Your legs aren't bad."

  This tone actually made Yuwen Ji relax a bit, and she said with some sadness: "The first time someone saw me like this." Her tone was as if she had lost something precious.

  Xue Chongxun took a deep breath, changed into loose and light clothes, and then carefully washed his hands clean in the copper basin before walking back. He saw that Yuwen Ji had already wrapped her arms around her chest, squatting on the ground, just like people huddled together for warmth in the cold winter snow. However, the small wooden house was actually getting hotter and hotter, with both of them sweating profusely.

  Xue Chongxun picked up the hemp rope on the case.

  "You Yuwen said in despair: 'How are you going to torture me?'"

  "Relax, don't struggle, or you'll be very uncomfortable after I'm done tying you up. Once I'm finished, you can struggle all you want." Xue Chongxun said, "I used despicable means to get my hands on you, and you have no choice but to endure the humiliation; I ruined your innocence, and you will lose something that may be very important to you. In any case, since this is going to happen anyway, why bother pretending? Why not just put aside the past and take it seriously? Either way, I'll be delighted, and maybe later on, so will you."

  The Tang Dynasty Hu bed was an adjustable chair, and later there was a poem "Moonlight in front of the bed" which described the poet sitting on the chair. Xue Chongxun adjusted the angle of the Hu bed so that she could half-recline on it, then ordered her to sit on it.

  Yu Wenji, originally cheerful and charming, had become a lamb at this moment. She sat up helplessly, her face full of humiliation, one hand trying to cover her chest, the other trying to cover her legs. But the more she tried, the more she couldn't cover them: how could one hand cover the two things on her chest? She spread her right palm as wide as possible and used her middle finger and thumb to barely press down on the two red beans; below was also a tragedy, her pubic hair was too dense and long, and in her haste, they were also mischievously poking out.

  It's either fish or bear's paw, you can't have both.

  She was soon unable to cover herself with her hands, as Xue Chongxin first tied up her hands. She was ordered to stretch out her hands behind her head, with her elbows bent upwards. At this point, Xue Chongxin bound her wrists tightly and then used ropes to tie her forearms near the wrists and upper arms together, making it impossible for her arms to straighten, and pulled out the rope from the intersection of the wrist binding, pulling down on her wrists from behind, fixing both arms behind her head.

  Yuwen Ji's face was flushed with shame, her head turned to the side, her eyes tightly closed... probably because her hands were now behind her head, and her chest was completely exposed in mid-air, unable to be protected.

  Xue Chongxun knew she was very resistant now, so he tried his best not to touch her skin.

  When he tried to separate Yuwen's legs, she refused to let them be separated and instead clamped them tightly together.

  Xue Chongxun had to use force to pry them apart, and as a result, her thighs were left with ten faint finger marks.

  The forbidden land was thus exposed, and Yuwen Ji's shame was inexpressible. Her originally tense body suddenly relaxed, and her face revealed exhaustion and despair, as if she was about to give up any meaningless resistance.

  But she couldn't help struggling again, a self-protective instinct. Xue Chongxun stretched out one hand and steadied the sedan chair to prevent it from tipping over. The rope had knots in some places, which chafed against her delicate skin as she struggled, and soon her face turned red and radiant, and she began to pant slightly between breaths.

  "Let me go..." Yuwen Ji's mind was a mess, her eyes pleading with Xue Chongxun.

  Xue Chongxun naturally wouldn't respond to her, but he also didn't make any indecent moves, just sitting across from her looking at her with a very patient expression, occasionally lowering his head in contemplation.

  After a long time, Yuwen Ji said: "It's too hot, I'm very thirsty. Can you give me a sip of the tea on the table?"

  "Alright." Xue Chongxun got up and poured tea, bringing it over. Yuwen Ji looked at the teacup, her neck moving slightly as she swallowed a mouthful of saliva... but unexpectedly, Xue Chongxun took a big gulp himself.

  "Hmm..." He held the tea water close and leaned in. Yuwen Ji quickly understood: he wanted to feed her mouth-to-mouth!

  Looking at her tender red lips, Xue Chongxun couldn't help but reveal a smile. Her thick lips looked very sexy, making people have the urge to take them in their mouth immediately.

  But Yuwen Ji didn't think so, she felt that she was being forced. Being molested by him was an unavoidable thing, but no matter what, she couldn't put down her dignity to take the initiative to kiss someone who had coerced her.

  Just as she was hesitating, Xue Chongxun swallowed the water in one gulp. He smiled and said, "If you don't drink it, I'll pour out the tea in the pot."

  Yuwen Ji felt like she was in a desert, she glanced at the teapot and her gaze swept across Xue Chongxun's face, his face hung with a smile, but she didn't suspect he would really pour water.

  "I'll drink." she finally said.

  Xue Chongxun took a sip of water, suppressed his smile, looked into her eyes, and slowly leaned in. Her eyelashes were adorned with fine droplets of steam, shining brightly, on a beautiful face that wore complex expressions of shyness, grievance, flush... she was stunningly pretty.

  He didn't kiss her lips. Yuwen Ji's red lips lightly pursed, raised her eyes to look at Xue Chongxun, their eyes met for a moment, and her eyes revealed a beautiful sorrow, finally tilting her head, gently offering her red lips.

  Soft as jade, Xue Chongxun brought the sweet and slightly bitter tea into her small mouth. At this time, he lightly placed his hand on Yuwen Ji's exposed shoulder, and Yuwen Ji's body suddenly trembled slightly.

  Xue Chongxun suddenly hugged her, and the soft thing on his chest felt like it was sticking to his skin, truly intoxicating. He kissed her for a long time, and Yuwen Ji unexpectedly didn't resist at all. So Xue Chongxun released her lips, because there would be even better things down below, from her chin, ears, neck, all the way to her collarbone... When the tip of his tongue touched the soft, white, jade-like button on top of her breasts, it immediately swelled up, becoming even more rosy. A strange, mournful cry escaped from Yuwen Ji's bones, and then slipped out through her nostrils.

  Long and beautiful, suppressed yet touching, natural without carving, as if returning to the origin of all things.

  They are surrounded by a circle of pinkish-red halo, and there are small protruding particles on the red halo. When you bring your nose close to them, you can smell a special faint fragrance.

  All the way down, that dark hell is the source of happiness, and the abyss will make people linger and forget to return, enjoying themselves so much they don't think of going back to Shu.

  Before long, Xue Chongxun noticed her various reactions, her whole body tense, her eyes dull, her collarbone protruding, the veins on her neck also taut, her vermilion lips slightly parted, exhaling more than inhaling, as if awaiting the arrival of death... At this time, he immediately stopped all movements and left her to sit back in the chair opposite him.
