Chapter 40.3 - Scorching (3/4)

The firelight reflected on his face, and his beauty was unparalleled.

Tang Huan gazed intently at him. “Song Mo, are you cold?”

Song Mo shook his head and asked her curiously, “Are you cold? Then I’ll go pick some more branches and make the flame burn brighter.”

Tang Huan hurriedly stopped him, “No need, Song Mo. I’m a little cold, but I’m more scared. This place gives me an eerie feeling. Song Mo, come and lie down beside me. I want to sleep next to you.”

“I……”

“What are you hesitating for?” Tang Huan glared at him and turned her back to him. “Don’t think too much. You can just hold me like this through the clothes. Don’t worry, that thing hurts too much. I won’t tease you anymore. I won’t agree to do it with you even if you beg me.”

Song Mo’s face flushed. “I wasn’t thinking about that! Please don’t misunderstand!”

Tang Huan turned to look at him and asked suspiciously, “Since you weren’t thinking about that, why you dared not hug me? Song Mo, it was you who said that you wanted to marry me. Now that I’m yours, how come you’re even afraid to hug me?”

Her gaze was too provocative, provoking Song Mo. He thought to himself that if he continued to hold back like this, wouldn’t he have to let her keep teasing him in the future? She was a woman, a woman who belonged to him. Why should he be afraid of her? She should be the one afraid of him, right?

Thinking of this, he walked over with a sullen face, lay down, and turned her naughty little head away before hugging her from behind and trying his best to calmly say, “Why would I dare not hug you? Okay, quickly go to sleep. It has been a long day.”

How could Tang Huan obediently sleep?

She clutched the corner of the clothes and turned over again, looking up at him. “Song Mo, isn’t it uncomfortable lying on the leaves like this?”

Song Mo had his eyes closed as he hugged her, not daring to move. “It’s okay. My skin is thick, so I’m fine.”

“But my heart ached for you. How about we lie on the jacket together?” Tang Huan stretched out her hand to grab him and rolled to the side. The jacket on her spread to the ground under her, while she vacated the spot she had just lain for Song Mo. “Okay, quickly lie down here.”

Song Mo refused to move. “Shui Xian, don-don’t do this.”

Although his eyes were shut, he knew what she had done, and he also knew that she was now lying naked beside him. Was she seducing him? No, he had already promised to marry her, so she didn’t need to seduce him to do that with her. Besides, she had said before that she was afraid of the pain and didn’t want to do it again. Then, she had done this simply because she felt sorry for him. Song Mo felt very warm in his heart, but he couldn’t lay down there. He was afraid that he couldn’t control himself. He just hugged her for a while, but just the thought of her being naked already gave him an erection, which he was using his leg to hide.

“Don’t do what?”

He didn’t come over, so Tang Huan took the initiative to get up and push him to lie down. She quickly lay on top of him, put her legs between his legs, rested her face on his chest, and sighed, “Song Mo, your body is so warm. Laying with you like this feels so nice.”

“Shui Xian…’

“Mmm, I’m here.” Tang Huan raised her head, moved upwards, and deliberately interrupted him. She leaned her head on his shoulder and gently touched his face with her small hand. “Song Mo, are you going to call me a slut again? But I just like being close to you like this. You don’t know that, after I fell in love with you, I would think about what it would be like to be hugged and lie on top of you every night. Really, I think about it every night. Now that you are my man, I can rightfully do so. I won’t allow you to scold me anymore. I won’t allow you to say such bad words to me anymore.”

She said aggrievedly. Thinking of the words he had used to scold her, Song Mo blamed himself very much. He couldn’t help hugging her. “No more scolding. I won’t scold you anymore.”

Tang Huan smiled and kissed him. Song Mo instinctively wanted to turn his head away, but Tang Huan did not allow him to do so. She straightened up and held his face to make him face her. “Open your eyes. I want to look at you and talk to you.”

Her voice was soft and delicate, and Song Mo couldn’t help but obey. He opened his eyes and met her eyes that were like waves of clear autumn water, where he could see the reflection of the fire at the entrance of the cave, along with her deep affection for him.

This was his woman.

Seemingly less nervous and restrained, Song Mo looked at her and asked, “What did you say?” He wrapped his arms around her waist, intimate and natural.

Tang Huan kissed his eyes rewardingly. “Song Mo, do you know why I like you so much?”

Song Mo looked at her seriously. “Why?” He really wanted to know.

Tang Huan smiled slightly, slowly sat up on his lap and pulled the man up before slipping her small hand over his arm and stopping at his chest. “Song Mo, once when you were slaughtering pigs in the backyard, I secretly watched you. You see, your arms are so strong, your shoulders are so broad, and your chest is so sturdy. I thought at the time, this man is so tall and strong, he must be able to protect me, right?”

The lust that originally grew because of facing her all faded away in hearing such straightforward trust she had towards him. Song Mo pressed her to his chest and buried his head in her smooth black hair. “Yes, I will protect you well in the future. No one can bully you anymore.”

“Yeah, I think so, too. And you’re indifferent towards women, so I like you even more. I like you so much that I shamelessly go to find you. When you scolded me and chased me away, I feel aggravated and deliberately made you angry, then you hated me even more. You don’t know how sad I was at that time!” Tang Huan bit his shoulder, tears streaming down her cheeks.

Song Mo regretted it very much. “I was wrong. I was wrong. Bite me until your anger is over.”

“I want to do that, but I can’t bear doing that to you.”

Tang Huan raised her head, tears glittering in her eyes, and looked at him aggrievedly. “Song Mo, the last time I kissed you, you were reluctant. Now I want you to kiss me, willingly and wholeheartedly.”

Song Mo’s breathing quickened. “I…..”

Tang Huan closed her eyes, teardrops rolling down.

Song Mo’s heart ached. Without thinking, he lowered his head and covered her lips with his.
