When they got into the elevator, Su Li awoke from her drug-induced slumber. Her eyes were watery, and she appeared a little disoriented. But it strangely added to her allureâit was appealingly sensual, and she exuded a raw, uninhibited quality to a face that could launch a thousand ships.
âYou are awake!â
Xiao Luo let her down, placed her arm over his shoulder, and held her at the waist.
Su Li was still in a drunken stupor, moaning softly, and suddenly, she casually grabbed his collar, pulled him close, and kissed him.
Xiao Luo froze, and his eyes widened, startled by this unexpected kiss.
âHuh⦠whatâs going on?â
Xiao Luo gently pulled himself away. When he looked at her again, Su Li was in a semi-conscious state, and even the breath she exhaled was hot.
That lady drugged her!
Having acquired the healing and medical skills from the system, Xiao Luo immediately sized up Su Liâs condition by merely glancing at her. He knew what he had to doâthe method to detoxify the drug quickly came to mind.
When they got to the 52nd floor, he carried Su Li back to his own apartment. Xiao Luo did not want either Su Xiaobei or Aunt Lee to know about Su Liâs condition, for he knew she would be embarrassed for them to see her in such a state. And he certainly didnât want her to take it out on him for that after she regained consciousness.
Xiao Luo gently laid her on the couch and went to the kitchen to fix a remedy.
He diluted a bit of salt into a glass of warm water and infused several green tea leaves. He wrung the towel he had soaked in cold water, and together with the concoction, he headed back to the living room. But when he returned to Su Li, what he saw nearly made him jump out of his skinâ¦
Su Li was moaning and doing things, and it took all of Xiao Luoâs resolve to suppress any dark thoughts. Xiao Luo quickly covered her up and helped her up, poured the remedy into her mouth, then laid him down again and placed the cold towel over her forehead. But the drink did not take immediate effect, and instead, Su Li stirred into semi-consciousness, and without any warning, grabbed Xiao Luo, maniacally tearing off his clothes.
For the first time in his life, Xiao Luo felt helpless. He had no idea what to do until a thought suddenly occurred to himâhe would use the Yi Jinjing to draw out the toxins! He had no fear of absorbing the poison from Su Liâs body into his own and believed that this would work.
He immediately pulled Su Li up from her repose and sat her down with her legs crossed. He sat behind her, pressed his heated palm tightly against the soft skin of her back, and then focused hard as he channeled his energy to absorb the toxins from Su Liâs body. But Su Li suddenly turned around and pushed him back, then ripping the rest of his clothes off, she threw herself at himâ¦
â¦
It was a wild nightâ¦
Early the morning, a welcoming ray of warm light filtered in from the balcony.
Xiao Luo had already woken up, and he gazed dreamily at Su Li, who was snuggled cozily in his arms. He had never thought that his first time would be like this.
Suddenly, from the corner of eyes, he caught a glimpse of several daubs of stain on his white bedsheetâthey were the color of red plum flowersâ¦n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Xiao Luo took a deep breath, and he felt a strange emotion that weighed heavily in his heart. He couldnât describe the feeling, it felt complicated, and his mind seemed cluttered and confused. Xiao Luo was a conservative man by nature, having been brought up in the traditional way of thinking. He felt a profound responsibility to do the right thing, especially after taking away a girlâs maidenhood.
Soon after, Su Li stirred from her sleep.
She stiffened and sat up, gazing at Xiao Luo as her eyes became watery, realizing what had happened. She knew that Xiao Luo did not force himself on her, but she was overcome by an inexplicable sense of lossâshe had given him what was most precious to a girl, and her tears flowed uncontrollably.
âMiss Suâ¦â
Xiao Luo was thinking of an explanation.
Su Li turned away, got out of his bed, found her clothes and dressed, and then hastily left the room.
She appeared calm the whole time but did not say a word from when she awoke until the time she stepped out the door.
Xiao Luo stared blankly at the door in a stupor, and then shifted his gaze to the stains on his bedsheet. He never had a woman before, and being the first time, it was a profound experience for him, something he would always remember.
Perhaps other men would feel excited and satisfied after the first time, but he felt a strange sense of guilt. Somehow, he didnât feel any joy or excitement, and he did not think this was how he was supposed to feel.
But, one thing he did find out; Su Xiaobei was undoubtedly not Su Liâs biological daughter.
Of course, that didnât really matter; what mattered most now wasâhow would he face Su Li after this?
