Chapter Thirty-Six

  "Do you... pity me?" Shen Yue's words as light as a swan feather accompanied by his breath entered Wang Shaokui's ear.

  Because of this sentence, Wang Shaokai's blood rushed to his head, and even if he was only wearing a vest in the humid bathroom, he didn't feel cold.

  A heavy and powerful heartbeat made her unable to calm down, with ripples rising in her eyes.

  In Wang Shaokai's heart, she had always yearned to understand Shen Lue and enter her world.

  The result, however, was that Shen Lu had unknowingly walked completely into his own world, a result that left Wang Shaokui both surprised and delighted.

  But...

  Wang Shaokuo asked himself: ... Am I qualified to enter her world?

  Are you qualified to stand beside her?

  After a long internal struggle, Wang Shaokuo reached out and tightly grasped Shen Lue's arm, asking seriously: "Can I... really do it?"

  Shen Yue's mouth curved into a smile as he hummed a gentle "hmm?"

  "Can I really... enter your world? Can I really... understand the real you?"

  For a moment, Wang Shaokuo thought she was dreaming.

  It's really hard to believe that Shen Yue would allow anyone into her world.

  As for Shen Lue's cognition and identity, Wang Shaokai had countless imaginations, good, bad, neutral.

  She always exceeds imagination.

  Shen Yue's mouth curved into a smile, one hand supporting the back of Wang Shaokuo's neck, the other wrapped around Wang Shaokuo's right cheek, gently stroking and whispering: "Silly girl. Why are you so lacking in confidence, huh?"

  "I used to... I used to be so confident." Wang Shaokuo murmured, "After getting to know you, I feel like I've become a lot more stupid."

  "Ah, you're silly." Shen slightly smiled and said warmly: "But I like this kind of Shao Ke."

  I love it!

  Because the two words Wang Shaokuo's expression overflowed with joy without reservation, but in the next second he realized that he was too explicit, too unreserved, and stuttered: "Then... I... will continue to be foolish."

  Wang Shaokuo smiled foolishly at her.

  Shen Yue looked at everything in front of him, his lips curled up and he smiled faintly.

  It is said that women's emotions are first from the heart and then emotional.

  As for Shen Yue...

  It started with just a simple curiosity about who she was, but gradually turned into fear of who she was. When I realized the danger and wanted to pull back, I found that I didn't care about those dangers at all. My heart only wanted to enter her world, find that key, and unlock the shackles that bound her.

  Even if mired in the swamp, will die, also do not want to give up.

  When did it start?

  How did she quietly enter her own world? And when did it start? Not only is he no longer afraid of her, but... he even wants to protect her!

  "Shao Ke, are you cold?" Shen Lue's hands rested on Wang Shao Ke's waist as he softly asked, "Do you still want to take a bath, huh?"

  Wang Shaokuo's face flushed as he replied, "I want to take a bath."

  "Can you wash it yourself?" Shen's lips were slightly pale, and he asked seriously: "Do you want me to help you wash it?"

  From acquaintance to now, so many years, being taken advantage of by Shen seems to have become a common occurrence, whether it's verbal or physical...

  Wang Shaokui's face turned red as he shook his head and said, "......I can do it myself."

  "Don't stand in the water for too long, although the band-aid is waterproof but it's not good to stay too long. I'll check on you after washing up..." The words were spoken very softly, with a murmuring tone that became even softer towards the end. It sounded like she hadn't finished speaking yet, and Wang Shaokuo stared at her, his eyes clear and calm, naturally assuming that Shen Yue would continue to say something like "Do you want to change to a new band-aid?"

  After waiting for a while, Shen Yue didn't say another word.

  What Shen said was already finished long ago, it's just that the punctuation is here, and the meaning of the whole sentence is naturally completely different.

  Wang Shaokuo took a deep breath and nodded in response: "I understand."

  Shen Yue smiled slightly and nodded, then turned around and left without staying for long.

  Wang Shaokuo stood still, staring at the tightly closed door for a long time before taking off her clothes and walking into the bathroom. Standing under the showerhead, a misty white gas surged up, filling the entire bathroom, and along with it, her body began to become blurry.

  Wipe away the water stains on my face, and concentrate in the rustling sound of the water. From the time I understood things, the first time I picked up Conan Doyle's book, I had an irresistible fondness for the two words 'detective'.

  Just like someone said: A good book is like falling in love, its charm is irresistible.

  It was then that Wang Shaokuo first knew what it felt like to be in love.

  It's just...the object of her love is every story written by Conan Doyle, and she loves every character he portrays.

  Deeper infatuation with Conan Doyle's truth-seeking exploration of real society, feeling the confidence and sense of accomplishment presented by Holmes.

  Wang Shaokai has no interest in emotions in real life.

  Because the detective's mind saw through the hypocritical faces and false affection in reality. Some people, for the sake of a gamble, would say to someone they didn't like at all: "I like you."

  Such cases made Wang Shaokuo numb to emotions and neglected that she would like someone or what kind of person.

  It was Shen Lue who made Wang Shaoke realize for the first time that she was different from others.

  Wang Shaokuo thought back to a lot of past events, including everything that had happened since he first met Shen Lue. Standing in front of the mirror blowing his hair dry and putting on his bathrobe, his mind was still preoccupied with thoughts. As a result, he ended up taking a bath for over an hour.

  Wang Shaokuo wore a white bathrobe back to the room, feeling the warmth of the air-conditioned room and a cup of warm water on the headboard, but Shen Lue was nowhere to be seen.

  Just as he was about to put down the towel and go outside to look for it, a pleasant ringtone sounded from his mobile phone. Wang Shaokuo hung the towel around his neck and answered the call.

  It was the law firm's phone, and there were several cases that needed to be followed up on the other end. Wang Shaokuo puffed on her pipe, a habit she had when working, putting the pipe in her mouth while thinking about problems, even if it was just an empty puff. After clearly handing over the work, she subconsciously rubbed her brow, holding the phone slightly further away, saying: "You handle it first, I'm busy right now, that's all." She hung up the phone decisively after finishing speaking.

  "What's going on now!?" Shen Yue appeared in the room at some point and faintly spoke out: "Busy with what?"

  Wang Shaokui turned around upon hearing the sound, with a pipe still in his mouth, standing straight on the spot.

  Shen Lue still held the phone in his hand, seemingly having just finished handling something. He glanced over Wang Shaokuo's side and came to the closet, without even raising an eye to look at her, and said lightly: "Done washing?"

  Wang Shaokuo shifted his feet and responded with a "hmm", hastily extinguishing the tobacco pipe in his hand. He felt that Shen Lue wasn't very happy, so he asked: "What's wrong?"

  Shen Yue took out some clothes from the closet, pushed back her hair and didn't respond. She walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, saying lightly: "Come over, let me take a look at your wound."

  Just now in the bathroom was gentle as water, but now this expressionless face can't help but give people a sense of loss like autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.

  "I just looked... it didn't get wet." Wang Shaokuo explained slowly, taking small steps.

  Shen Yue remained expressionless: "Mm, let me see." Completely ignoring Wang Shaokui's explanation.

  "Are you okay?" He felt Shen Yue's emotions were a bit down and asked carefully.

  "It's nothing."

  Wang Shaokuo pursed his lips and sat aside, speaking softly: "Every time I see you holding your phone, you're unhappy, but you don't tell me...I worry about you too." At this moment, Wang Shaokuo's expression was serious, his tone gentle, with a concerned and worried look.

  Anyone who saw it would soften, let alone Shen Lue.

  It turned out to be true, as Cui Luo Chen had said, this appearance was only effective in front of Shen Lue.

  Shen Luo stared at Wang Shaokuo for a while, and finally, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. "Does Shaokuo also worry about me?"

  "Of course!" Wang Shaokuo nodded seriously: "I want to protect you even more."

  Although it sounds very childish, Wang Shaokuo is telling the truth. If given the chance, she will go all out to protect Shen Lue without hesitation.

  Shen Yue didn't say a word, his eyes began to soften, and he gradually leaned in close to Wang Shaoke, his face inches from hers.

  As she approached, Wang Shaokuo's face turned red, his voice softened and continued: "I know all about you, I also want to know about you... Every time I see you holding your phone, I think you might be leaving again..."

  No matter what Wang Shaokuo was saying, Shen Lue reached out and wrapped his hand around her slender waist, his lips pressed against her ear, interrupting her words: "I don't want you to protect me, I just want you to take care of yourself." His hand slipped into the opening of her bathrobe and directly touched the damp bandage on the surface.

  Wang Shaokui was stunned.

  Shen Yue stopped talking, his other hand lifted and hooked around Wang Shaokuo's neck, while the hand under the bathrobe slid down to her waist and grasped it, stroking and soothing her with a light and skillful touch.

  To Shen Lue, everything came so naturally. To Wang Shaoke, it was like an indescribable dream.

  The other party just made a slight movement and turned around, causing Wang Shaokuo's face to turn red.

  Shen Lue's lips were pressed against Wang Shaokuo's earlobe, his breathing slightly disordered as he whispered softly: "Shaokuo..."

  Her soft call made Wang Shaokuo's nerves almost melt, and he let out a low hum, raised his hand to grasp Shen Lue's arm, seeking comfort.

  Shen Yue's lips trailed along the edges of Wang Shaokai's raven-black hair, kissing downwards, and his hands locked around her neck pulled open half of Wang Shaokai's bathrobe.

  In this way, Wang Shaokui's right shoulder was smooth and moist, and the beautiful scenery below was exposed without a trace.

  Shen Yue directly leaned against that delicate collarbone, embracing the past, and gently nibbled a few times.

  A tingling sensation spread from the collarbone, causing Wang Shaokuo to subconsciously shrink back a little. Shen Lüe took advantage of the momentum and gently laid Wang Shaokuo down on the bed, gazing down at this delicate yet bashful face with a smile playing on his lips.

  "Shao Ke, very beautiful."

  Before he could react, someone leaned down and sealed Wang Shaokui's lips with their own.

  Wang Shaokuo's eyes widened and his body stiffened.

  As Shen Lue's icy cool tongue tip forcibly pried open her teeth and successfully entered, Wang Shaokuo only then realized what she was doing with Shen Lue, or rather, what Shen Lue was doing to her.

  Close your eyes and quietly accept this kiss, Shen Lue's exhaled breath is fragrant and warm, only letting the stimulation of this kiss send Wang Shaokuo to cloud nine.

  Huh?

  This feeling of trembling, as if I had just woken up from a dream.

  Shen Yue hooked Wang Shaokui's neck with his hand, and couldn't help but strip off the white bathrobe, walking boldly and daringly.

  Wang Shaokuo tilted his head to the side, panting softly: "Shen... slightly... uh..." His heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help but shift his body on the bed.

  "Where do you want to go, huh?"

  Shen Yue's hand grasped Wang Shaokai's, with a flowing luster in his eyes. His other hand slid down Wang Shaokai's body until it reached the lips that were slightly swollen from being kissed.

  This process was really beyond Wang Shaokuo's words, this woman just made a move, one sentence and her body had a different feeling.

  "How...can...". He stared at her fixedly, unable to move his eyes away.

  Am I dreaming?

  At this time, Shen Lue's hair fell on both sides, covering half of his face, making this strange and mysterious face even more attractive.

  Wang Shaokuo wasn't unaware of what was going to happen next, but rather... the turmoil in his heart had reached a point where it was hard to suppress.

  "Do you like Sha Ke?" Shen Lüe's voice was low and lazy, with a hint of intoxicating charm.

  Wang Shaokuo's face turned red, and he lightly murmured "en" in response.

  Shen Lue heard this and lowered his head, his forehead touching hers, his deep, dark eyes shining with a smile as he gazed quietly at Wang Shaokuo.

  In the dimly lit room, they shed their clothes and entwined on the bed, lost in each other's arms. All sweet nothings seemed to melt into enchanting breaths, all unspoken.

  Until Shen Lue's fingers touched that mysterious place, Wang Shaokuo stiffened for a moment, hastily grabbed Shen Lue's shoulder, and frowned: "Shen Lue...Lue..." This feeling was as if he was suffocating, his whole body floating in the sea, only able to tightly grasp her.

  Shen Lue felt Wang Shaokuo's tension and deepened the kiss, as if comforting him: "I'm here, don't be afraid..." She spoke solemnly, with a lingering tone, like a heavy promise.

  Under Shen Lue's comfort, Wang Shaokuo quickly sank again. Shen Lue's forehead rested on Wang Shaokuo's chest, his fingertips slowly probing in until the sharp pain came, and Wang Shaokuo grasped Shen Lue with all his might. The two almost simultaneously let out a low "hmm".

  The physiological tremble lasted for a while...

  Wang Shaokuo was now heartbroken. The feelings portrayed in those TV shows and movies were all deceiving, compared to the pain she felt at this moment, Wang Shaokuo preferred the entanglement before, only that entanglement would make her entire body more and more empty.

  What a contradiction!

  Shen Yue remained still for a while after thoroughly entering, and only began to proceed lightly when he saw Wang Shaokui's expression slightly ease up.

  It started with a kiss, gradually stirring Wang Shaokuo's emotions, letting her immerse herself in the joy of kissing. In the process, there were some subtle changes that Wang Shaokuo did not notice, or even if she noticed, she didn't mind.

  But the situation changed quickly, Shen Lue's every move was like adding another degree of heat to the heat source, the flames were gradually raised, Wang Shaokuo's breathing became disordered and rhythmic.

  So repetitive and repetitive...

  Wang Shaokuo tilted her head, closed her eyes, and her body seemed to weaken, completely losing strength. Her limbs were tensing up bit by bit, and those plump lips were slightly open, constantly emitting panting sounds, making her blush to the point of embarrassment.

  How did this happen!?!

  Wanted to stop this unbearable job, but found her body yearning for more, she continued...

  Before he could even process what was happening, after Shen Yue's last deep thrust, the body that had been gradually curling up suddenly trembled violently. Wang Shaokai first lifted his head, his neck forming a beautiful arc, and then his body unfolded like dominoes, one piece at a time, relaxing, stretching...

  Shen Yue's mouth curved into a satisfied smile as he gazed intently at the breathtaking beauty in front of him.

  "Shao Ke, you're mine!"

  Perhaps he was too tired, Wang Shaokui vaguely and lightly murmured "en".
