Da Li Temple - Chapter 41.1

Chapter 41.1
Beloved

The hand that removed the needle for Lin Wanqing couldn’t help but shake, causing a tearful cry of pain. She was angry and aggrieved as she pushed Su Moyi away, her beautiful eyes glaring roundly, revealing a ferocious look that showed her teeth as a cat that had its tail stepped on.
??
“Su Moyi! You just did it on purpose, right?!”
??
Su Moyi’s heart sank sharply downwards. He wanted to pull her, yet Lin Wanqing staggered as if she was afraid of him, trying to rise and hide back. He had to rush and went to fish for her waist accurately. Then, with a spin, he brought her to the couch, and then, with a clamp of his legs, he tightly restrained her on his body.
??
The next moment, he covered Lin Wanqing’s mouth.
??
Already exhausted, Lord Su’s face was ashen, unable to withstand any more surprises or excitement. He slowly looked around, confirming that he already locked the doors and windows and no one was eavesdropping. He glanced at Lin Wanqing and said, “Don’t forget that this is the Zhang Mansion!”
??
Lin Wanqing looked at him with teary, misty eyes and nodded cooperatively. Her tear-dampened eyelashes flapped like two small butterflies drenched in rain.

Su Moyi’s heart softened as he looked at her, immediately averting his gaze, and with a trembling voice, he assured, “I’ll be careful.”
??
“En!” Lin Wanqing nodded.
??
“But, don’t you move again, okay?”
??
“En!” Someone was both well-behaved and cooperative.
??
“And no talking either.”
??
“En!”
??
Su Moyi sighed and slowly released her.
??
But with this release, Su Moyi realized that they were hugging each other in an intimate and shameful position. A warm fragrance and soft jade body in his embrace while his hand wrapped around her shoulders and his leg clamped hers. Her hot and steamy breath was right next to his ear, and her wet eyelashes were like two small brushes, tickling the skin on the side of his neck for a moment.
??
Su Moyi felt that his chest was hot, and something was becoming provoked.
??
“You, you come down first ……,” Su Moyi’s throat knots slid, nearly biting his tongue as he spoke. He released the legs clamping down on Lin Wanqing, holding onto her waist, and was about to lift the person to put her down.
??
“I don’t want to~” a petite female voice with some hoarseness. The woman on top rolled over and raised her hand to encircle his neck.
??
“Just apply the medicine like this,” She ordered while puffing, cutely fierce, “If you hurt me again, I’ll bite you!” After saying that, she opened her mouth and left a row of tiny teeth marks on his neck.
??
Su Moyi had already stiffened like a corpse and couldn’t even feel where it was wrong because he thought that what was most wrong now was his brain and this person on him. Usually, he knew he couldn’t afford to mess with Lin Wanqing; however, Su Moyi didn’t realize that he was even more unable to mess with Lin Wanqing, who drank the ‘Confused Heart.’
??
The person in his arms still ignorantly put her hand in front of him, crying and begging for comfort: “Look, I’ve lost a lot of blood to save you, so you have to be nicer to me.”
??
Okay, okay, be nice to you.
??
Su Moyi felt that with her current appearance, even if given ten guts, he wouldn’t dare to mistreat her.
??
“Apply the medicine.” Lin Wanqing released his neck. Her entire body leaned into his arms, nestled comfortably in the crook of his arm, and handed her hand to him.
??
Su Moyi hugged her and moved closer to the direction of the candle flame. Just now, the moonlight was dark; he didn’t see clearly. Now, through the candle flame, Su Moyi realized her hand was injured more severely than he had imagined.
??
Half the nails were already soaked in blood, as if the whole thing would fall off with a slight lift. The original beautiful fingers were now bloody. Su Moyi’s heart ached for a moment, and he only felt that his internal organs were empty.
??
Under the only lamp, he could only see the center of Lin Wanqing’s head, who leaned in his arms. A faint temperature and fragrance were coming through her clothes. She was only a little girl. However, after knowing her for so long, he could only glimpse her soft and lovely side after drinking the ‘Confused Heart.’ He recalled that Lin Wanqing once told him that her parents and family had left her when she was young. She had disguised herself as a man for twelve years and was alone, without a companion. These may sound no more than a flash of an account, but for her, it was real, walking alone for thousands of days and nights.
??
Su Moyi dared not imagine how she survived the loneliness in her sad time. The lone lamp on the table was brightly lit, and shimmering light like thorns burning his eyes. Suddenly, he wanted to hug her. For all those days of bearing and carrying alone, she had never been able to speak of the loneliness. The arm that circled her tightened a little more, and the person in his arms grunted as if she were perfectly pleased. She raised her head, the center of her hair brushing against his chin, smilingly saying, “My Lord, do you know that my drinking capacity is excellent?”
??
Su Moyi concentrated on the medicine and didn’t answer her.
??
Lin Wanqing was oblivious to this and said smugly to herself, “I can drink a jar of wine by myself.” Saying this, she didn’t forget to gesture, “Such a big vat! When I was in the academy in the past, they all called me ‘Thousand Cups of Wine.'”
??
“En, you are capable.” Su Moyi’s voice was smooth, but his tone was already unhappy.
??
“Hehehe~” the person in his arms laughed heartlessly and continued, “But I didn’t know how to drink initially either. But my fellow students invited me occasionally, and it wasn’t good not to go, so I practiced alone at home.”
??
The firelight was blurred, and her voice gradually drifted away. She stared blankly at the candle flame and mumbled, “Because I’m afraid of getting drunk. When I do, I’ll reveal my identity. I’ll remember unhappy things, and I’ll cry all the time. So, I must overcome all of them.”

“Lin Wanqing.”
??
The firelight beeped and exploded into a spark.
