As soon as Chu Jiao turned her head around and saw the demonic-masked man, her hold on the knife came loose and with a loud clang sound, it fell to the ground.

At the same time, the ruffian that she was trampling on actually let out tears and sobs of anxiety. If the deathly sharp knife were to have been two inches closer to him, he would have never seen the light of day ever again.

Chu Jiao quickly snapped back to her senses and kicked the ruffian under her foot away, Scram! Get lost!

Seriously, what was with this timing? They conveniently didnt bump into each other earlier or later, but it just had to be right now, when she was showing such a fierce front. She mustve intimidated the youth with her image.

Wait, thats not right. He wasnt a youth anymore, rather, he was a young man.

After the ruffians had all run off, Chu Jiao then turned around, and started to carefully measure the masked young man.

After two years of not seeing each other, he had grown so much taller than his old stature, to the extent that she had to raise her head just to look at his countenance. The young man was standing tall and straight, his aura much more impressive than before. Perhaps it was due to his experience in the battlefield that he emitted a cold atmosphere around him, which suited the daunting mask he wore, eliciting fear deep in peoples hearts.

However, Chu Jiao was not scared at all.

Once the two people made eye contact.

His dark eyes seemed to contain a stirring maroon light, swirling around.

No one knew how much time had actually passed, but Chu Jiao took the first step to break the unparalleled silence.

She cocked her head low, deliberately telling them, The shop is already closed for the day, so I will have to ask you warriors to come back again tomorrow.

After politely saying this, she then started to move the large planks from the side of the shop front and began closing the doors.

Sigh, how unfortunate!

Nevermind, lets just come back a little earlier tomorrow. Besides, were going to be staying in this place for a few days, so well definitely be able to eat them!

Thats right. Shall we leave, Lieutenant?

Jing Chen finally reacted.

He slightly tilted his head and instructed his subordinates.

Go and change guards at the defense camp, Ill catch up later.

After issuing this order, he then wordlessly walked forward, kindly helping the woman lift the planks.

Wasnt he the one who said, Were here on duty, not to eat, drink, nor play? Then, why was the Lieutenant hypocritically shooing them away? He was obviously trying to woo the little lady in private.

Though his subordinates cursed him silently in their hearts, they still obediently did as they were told and left for the defense camp.

If they continued being obstructions here, they sensed that upon the Lieutenants return, they would be compelled to do more training sets than usual!

Once the two planks had already been put into place, only a one-person gap was left between the two.

Jing Chen quickly embedded the last plank into place, sealing the space between.

With a startling clattering sound, their surroundings immediately plunged into darkness and stillness. Only a faint light slipping through the seams of the door spilled in, and inside the dark space, only two peoples breaths could be heard.

H-. How have you been these past two years?

Before he could even speak these words, Chu Jiao was suddenly pressed down onto the table.

The mans frantic and plundering kiss overwhelmed her senses, and before she could even say anything, her soft lips were firmly blocked by the young man. His large tongue parted her lips, gaining entrance into her sweet cavity.

Mm

Chu Jiao did not evade the mans intrusion, her tongue firmly pressed down on her jaw, allowing the man to use this opportunity to vent his pent up feelings.

She knew that the scar left by her sudden disappearance hurt the young man deeply, so whatever he did to vent his frustrations out on her today, she would understand.

However, she had underestimated her influence on the youth.

Over the past two years, Jing Chen had kept telling himself over and over again that his Little Dumpling was still alive and was somewhere wandering in this world. Yet, everybody told him that his Little Dumpling mustve died, vanishing in some dried up well inside the palace.

At one point in time, he wanted to overturn all the dry wells in the palace, but he timidly gave up on that idea right away. He was afraid that if he really managed to find Little Dumplings corpse in one of those wells, his last glimmer of hope would truly vanish.

But now, seeing the person he kept thinking about day and night appear in front of him, safe and sound, there was only one thought consuming Jing Chens heart.

No one knew exactly how hard it had been for him in the past two years. He woke up several times during the middle of the night, desperately calling out Chu Jiaos name, but his bedside was always empty. He visited the banyan tree from his childhood countless times, expecting his Little Dumpling to miraculously fall from the sky, to hold his hand and feed him strawberries just like before.

But, she was gone.

Why?

Why did she pull him out of the abyss and then let go of his hand?

Why did she give him hope and then let him despair?

Why did she let him experience warmth and then leave him shivering in his loneliness?

At the moment he knelt down to beg Imperial Preceptor Jiang, Jing Chen swore in his heart.

He was going to ascend to the highest position in the world no matter what.

He was going to look for her everywhere rummaging through every nook and cranny of the world to try and find her.

As for what he was going to do after finding her

Jing Chen gazed at the woman under him, and even though she was wearing a different set of attire, she still looked the same from two years ago.

No, she looked much more feminine than before.

Jing Chen reached out his hand and gently stroked her cheek. If one were to say that in the beginning, Little Dumpling was like a graceful flower bud in early spring, the Ah Jiao of today had become a perfectly ripened peach.

He didnt expect to actually find her here.

However, it didnt make a difference.

Since he had found her, he was never going to let her go, ever again.

He was going to keep her firmly by his side, not allowing her to go off anywhere.

During several late nights, Jing Chen kept imagining the scene of finding Chu Jiao over and over again. He would treat her coldly, torture her mercilessly, and would return all the pain and agony she had brought him back to her so that she would also know how it felt to have her heart torn out of her chest.

However, now that he was here, in this moment, Jing Chen realized something.

Aside from wanting to seize her fiercely from start to finish and once again take possession everything of her, he couldnt think of anything else.

The excess flour lying on the table rose slowly, scattering mid-air. The white powder spread everywhere, turning their views hazy.

Jing Chen held the wrists of the person beneath him with a vice grip and afixed them to the sides of the womans body.

He leaned forward, nipping Chu Jiaos lips roughly, his large tongue taking her small one into his own mouth and sucking hard, as if he was about to swallow her whole person into his belly.

Chu Jiao twisted her wrist slightly, wanting to shift to a more comfortable position, but only felt the mans grip turn even tighter.

As a response, she stopped moving.

Chu Jiao raised her head obediently, parting her soft lips to follow the mans strength, licking the back of his tongue with hers, and gently soothing him in her own way.

She kind of regretted her previous callousness.

In the past two years, he did not live as well as she thought he would.

Otherwise, why would he be ordered to come to such a dangerous place, where the swords have no eyes1Swords have no eyes means people could get hurt easily.?

One must know, in the plot, the young man did not show up here at all. With his own ability, he was able to turn the tides in the capital and finally succeeded in ascending the throne.

But, what Chu Jiao didnt know was that it was indeed because of her that Jing Chen would consider Imperial Tutor Jiangs suggestion.

Since he couldnt wait any longer, he wanted to use the quickest way possible to ascend to that position and find her.

After an unknown amount of time had passed, the young man finally paused from kissing her.

He lowered his head and helplessly buried it in Chu Jiaos chest.

Chu Jiao didnt dare move, afraid that she would provoke this man again.

However, the gradual dampness she felt on her chest finally altered the expression of her face.

Was her little boy crying?

When he was a child, despite being beaten black and blue or forced to eat rancid food, he didnt shed a single tear at all. When his parents neglected him, he didnt shed a tear. When his brothers taunted him, he didnt shed a tear. But, now he was crying?

Ah Chen Chu Jiao finally wrestled her wrist free from the young mans clutch. She anxiously wanted to push him away, to see his face, but Jing Chen only held onto her tighter, not allowing her to move in the slightest.

Ah Chen, let me see your face!

Chu Jiao was worried.

You dont want me anymore, whats there to look at!

A muffled voice tickled her chest, clearly indicating that he was just throwing a childs tantrum.

Why would I not want you? Chu Jiao gently stroked the back of his head, just as she did when she was comforting him back then. Im still alive because of you, why would I not want you?

Then, why did you leave me!

The young man finally raised his head, confusion and hurt painting his deep red eyes, making Chu Jiaos heart clench.

I thought

I thought I would only be holding you back

Chu Jiao gently held his mask, wanting to take it off and touch his face.

But Jing Chen held her hand in place.

No, youll definitely think I still look horrifying

And thats why you ran away, unwilling to bear with me any longer.

Chu Jiao shook her head, Of course not.

She did not expect that even after so many years of her companionship, the youths inferiority complex had yet to disappear from his psyche.

Yet, what she didnt realize was that in front of the person they liked, people would often become timid and sensitive versions of themselves. They were always worried that they would never be good enough for them and would even let their imagination run wild.

Originally, she had slowly opened Jing Chens heart, but when she suddenly disappeared, Jing Chens heart was hurt even more deeply compared to his past hardships.

Did you forget, Ah Chen, Chu Jiao kissed the terrifiying demonic face in the lips, Ive already said before that in my heart, no matter what Ah Chen looks like, he will still be the most good-looking person in the world.

She then took the initiative to take her clothes off.

The two bunnies on her chest had already grown full after no longer being bound. The lake blue dudou2Dudou is the brassiere of the ancient times was stretched taut from the bulges of them, but her waist was still as slender as before. Even in this dark room, one could still feel her delicate and attractive allure.

Chu Jiao held Jing Chens hand and lightly pressed it to her chest.

Listen to what it says by yourself.

The softness he felt with his palm made Jing Chens eyes turn dark. Her steady yet quick heartbeats made him realize that his Ah Jiao truly wasnt dead, and that she had truly come back to his side.

Jing Chen couldnt hold himself back anymore.

He bit the small mouth that had always coaxed him and parted the legs of the person under him, using his body to confirm her existence.

Ah

Mm

After two years, the flower path that had been closed off for a long time had become dry and narrow. Jing Chen was stuck halfway, as the faces of both people were twisted in pain.

Chu Jiao tried to relax herself, wrapping her legs around the youths waist while her arms around his neck, her eyebrows appearing gentle, Its fine, Ah Chen. Enter me.

Enter me, possess me, and make me yours.

Jing Chen seemed to have understood the words Chu Jiao hadnt uttered, the veins in his arms bulging out as he pressed the girls body closer to him.

And finally, her warm fleshy walls completely contained his length, giving the feeling of comfort and tolerance, just as before.
