Despite his insistence, it ultimately didn’t lead to the final act, yet they had shared something so intimate…
Why wasn’t Bai Xingluo the least bit shy?
Tong Sui felt as if he were about to die of embarrassment, his mind a chaotic mess, unable to comprehend how things had escalated to this point.
They had agreed—it was just a nominal marriage, but weren’t they getting a little too close?
“Are you thinking about me?” Bai Xingluo leaned in, her faintly cold and fragrant aura brushing against his lips, “If you want, we can do it again.”
Boom.
Tong Sui’s cheeks instantly flushed bright red. He looked up, pressed Bai Xingluo’s forehead, and pushed her away. “No.”
Bai Xingluo acted like a determined little dog, nudging against his hand to get closer, seeming playful and content without needing a response.
“Why don’t you want to? Is it because the Lord wasn’t satisfied with my service yesterday?”
Bai Xingluo’s cold exterior hid a heart that was completely the opposite.
She wasn’t innocent; only Bai Xingluo knew she was a greedy and dark predator.
If it weren’t for the obsession and principles that had long kept her bound to guarding the empire, making her appear unapproachable like a snow-capped mountain, she would surely have turned into another extreme.
Bai Xingluo swallowed hard as she looked at him, her voice hoarse as if just waking up, “If that’s uncomfortable, would you like to give me a try? I should be better than using your hand.”
This was pushing it a bit too far.
Yesterday, it could be said that everyone was out of sorts, but now Bai Xingluo had clearly returned to normal.
Why was she still acting so oddly?
Could someone please return the aloof and distant general who didn’t even allow a simple touch to him?
Tong Sui, ears burning, hastily found an excuse. “I’m too tired; I don’t want to play.”
“There are ways that aren’t tiring,” Bai Xingluo murmured a few words, “You only need to sit; it’s not tiring.”
Tong Sui was bewildered. “Sit?”
Bai Xingluo explained a bit more until he finally understood.
In that instant of realization, Tong Sui’s ears turned crimson, and as if fleeing, he blurted out, “I need to go to the bathroom,” and hurriedly ran off the bed.
Hearing the door slam behind him, Bai Xingluo chuckled lightly. She reached up to touch the neat bite mark on her neck, the slight sting surprisingly pleasing, bringing a smile to her eyes.
The Lord was truly adorable.
Once behind the closed door, Tong Sui took a deep breath. He felt his body temperature was quite high, and the air he exhaled was warm.
Leaning against the cool wall, he tried to cool down, and when he looked up, he met a clear reflection in the large mirror by the sink.
In the mirror, his white shirt hung loosely on him, only a few buttons properly fastened, with traces of intimacy faintly showing through.
He could recall every feeling from that moment.
Tong Sui felt even warmer.
His fair skin showed a slight blush due to the elevated temperature, and as he stared at the mirror, his eyelashes fluttered. He could hardly believe this was him…
Just when Tong Sui felt guilty, the system’s voice suddenly rang in his mind: [Would you like me to take a picture to save it?]
The sudden voice startled Tong Sui.
Who wants to save something like that?
The system replied: [To record the beautiful moments of your life.]
Record.
What’s so special about recording this…
“No, it’s just a first kiss, a first… helping…”
Tong Sui’s voice grew softer, embarrassed as he pulled the topic away. “You’re just a smart program; your system wouldn’t understand these things!”
The system didn’t seem to grasp the concept well: [But I have plenty of learning materials in my storage. If needed, I can improve myself.]
Tong Sui knew the system’s so-called learning materials were probably nothing serious.
He thought for a moment, “After you learn, could you teach me too?”
Then he wouldn’t embarrass himself so much in front of Bai Xingluo again; next time he would definitely score some points back.
No, no, there’s no next time; this is a special case.
The system: [That should be possible; I can place the films in your mind, and nobody will notice.]
“Wow, how thoughtful.”
Tong Sui gave a big thumbs up to the system’s smart service; this way, there would be no chance of social embarrassment.
As one person and one system were deep in thought, there was a gentle knock on the door.
Tong Sui opened the door.
Bai Xingluo was already neatly dressed in a fitted shirt, her clothing draping perfectly over her broad shoulders and muscular build. Her long silver hair was tied up, and at a glance, she seemed to revert to her usual cold demeanor as if covered in snow.
Tong Sui felt a bit relieved; this was the Bai Xingluo he was most familiar with.
He opened the door a bit wider.
Bai Xingluo held a neatly folded set of clothes in her hand, yet what she said was the opposite of her cold appearance, “Do you need me to help you change clothes?”
Tong Sui felt as if Bai Xingluo’s words had burned him; he hurriedly grabbed the clothes from her hands. “No, I can do it myself.”
Watching the door close again, Bai Xingluo’s gaze darkened.
Though the Lord’s shy demeanor was quite cute, it made her teeth ache, tempting her to pounce and devour without care.
She was very clear: it wasn’t just a matter of mental influence; she was genuinely attracted, and when she was sober, it was even more intolerable.
It felt like a hungry wolf that had long been starving, suddenly presented with a piece of meat and told it could only take small bites, tasting it but not allowed to eat fully.
Bai Xingluo pondered; she thought perhaps the Lord found this door to be very secure, but if she wished, she could dismantle the lock in mere seconds.

In the noble ward of the Central Hospital of the Empire.
A large batch of male soldiers stood guard with weapons outside the ward, closely surrounding it. Lu Yunyi had just been transferred from the medical pod to the care ward.
