CH 90

Most of her body was drown in the water.

The man began to shiver, a blood-red color gradually spread inside his eyes as he quickly stepped forward, vigorously pulling the person out of the water.

She was dripping wet, her eyes were tightly closed, her lips were white and bloodless and her face was calm.

The man’s hand trembled as he probed her nostrils, she had already stopped breathing.

Shen Yi’s heart fell into a bottomless hell, his throat was dry, his eyes were dry as well. The only thing he knew how to do as this moment was to hold her tightly, to melt her into his own body, this way she would not leave him anymore.

Yes, so that she wouldn’t leave.

***

Lu Wanwan slept until the next afternoon. She had woken up once in the early morning and the bed had already been empty then. Shen Yi probably had gone to work.

Still feeling tired, she got up and drank a mouthful of water, before grabbing the blanket and falling asleep again, in a daze.

It was nearly dusk when she woke up again.

After a full night and day of sleep, the entire person was still lazy as she woke up. She continued to lie down with her eyes open for a while before she got up.

The swelling in her ankle had decreased, she didn’t feel any pain anymore.

The nightgown hanging on her body looked a little too big, the collar was broad opened, making her collarbone clearly visible.

Lu Wanwan walked out with gentle steps, the man in the kitchen was washing fruit.

His hands were also very beautiful, his long and thin fingers had well-defined bones, the white palms of his hands were clean and without blemishes, with no traces of having been tormented by life.

Shen Yi’s back actually looked very gentle, when he lowered his face, he looked even more meek, as his slender eyelashes cast a shadow on his face. His lips were thin and particularly beautiful.

When Lu Wanwan first read the novel, she felt compassion for Shen Yi, thinking that he was too miserable as a male lead.

He was clearly the legitimate second young master of the Shen family, yet he had to suffer so much hardships in his life. Even later after he was recognized back into the family, he also encountered many difficulties, the novel also added on to that such a wife, who despised the poor and liked riches.

As she read the novel, she could very well understand the character of the male lead, he lost too much as he grew up, so much so that after becoming an adult, he wanted to hold on tightly to everything he possessed, including women.

But when she became a person in the novel, she could no longer understand anymore.

The sixteen-year-old Lu Wanwan once regarded Shen Yi as her first love with whom she could spend the rest of her life together with.

She could not deny it, on her part, it was more her trying to please him than her loving him.

But she also used to be very fond of that teenager.

That boy whose face would blush when she’d say two words of affection, that boy who hugged her and whispered in her ear that he would treat her very well in the future.

No one’s heart would remain unmoved.

Lu Wanwan was in a daze, and out of her spirits, she slowly walked to the kitchen, reached out her hands and hugged the man’s lean waist.

She rested her head on his back as she lazily said, “I want to eat strawberries.”

Shen Yi’s body stiffened, his voice was hoarse as he replied back: “I bought some.”

Lu Wanwan stretched out her head to take a look at the strawberries in the glass bowl. She said, “Wash a few more, it’s not enough for me to eat.”

“Okay.”

The glass bowl was filled with fresh strawberries. Lu Wanwan picked a large one and put it into her mouth, it was sweet and sour and it tasted very good.

Seeing her eating so happily, Shen Yi picked up one to try, but Lu Wanwan held his wrist, “The strawberries in this bowl are all mine, you are not allowed to eat.”

“Is it sweet?”

It was quite sweet, but Lu Wanwan absolutely wanted to say the opposite, pretending, she said, “It’s sour, very sour.”

Shen Yi put down the strawberry in his hand, smiling as he shook his head, pretending to believe her words, “I also want to eat.”

She shook her head, “No, these are all for me alone.”

“I’ll just have one, to taste.”

“No means no.”

She was this unreasonable!

Shen Yi’s fingertips traced over her lips and, lowering his head, started to explore inside, as their lips and teeth attached to each other.

Lu Wanwan’s strength was not a match for him, in just an moment, she turned soft, leaving him to his exploration.

After the kiss, she was panting and her face was flushed.

He looked at her with tenderness and laughed: “Your complexion looks much better now.”

When she first woke up, it was really not looking good.

Her face was white as if she was sick and she didn’t have much vitality either.

Lu Wanwan knew that her body was abnormally exhausted these days. The time she spent sleeping was getting longer and longer each day that passed.

Shen Yi probably was also very worried about it, the color under his eyelashes was black and blue.

She was slightly touched in her heart. Lifting her toes, she planted a soft kiss on his cheek, “I’m fine.”
