Chapter 4: She Said My Spirit Is Out of Sorts
It was too dazzling.
My attention was first drawn to the area below her shoulders, the two thin shoulder blades symmetrically distributed on either side of her back, eliciting a desire to touch them from beneath the skin – the butterfly bones.
If Yu Hui wore form-fitting clothes that accentuated the tight curve of her back on the street, when a passerby turned to look at her face, they would undoubtedly see an even more striking figure from behind.
Such a beautiful spine, yet it bore a scar.
A large, diagonal wound split her entire back in half.
I placed my left hand on Yu Hui’s shoulder and rubbed the tip of the scar with my thumb, asking, “Does it still hurt?”
“No, it doesn’t.”
“Really not? I still have phantom limb pain myself…”
Phantom limb pain is the sensation that a severed limb still exists and is causing pain at the site of amputation.
I looked at my left hand, which was on Yu Hui’s back. It was intact, with the little finger still attached to the hand… or so it appeared.
This wasn’t a hallucination, but a reality. If I touched my left hand with my right, I could feel the little finger, and it felt the same as before.
But in reality, my little finger was still missing.
I couldn’t control it to bend or straighten. If I clenched my left hand into a fist, the little finger would hang there awkwardly.
Apparently, Miss Shirley had helped reattach it. Before instructing the maids to take me to the hospital, she had immediately reattached it for me.
She said it was just an ordinary prosthetic, and since she happened to have the ‘materials’, she had attached it for me… but I couldn’t see it as an ordinary prosthetic at all.
Because this little finger was too ‘real’, it looked like a genuine one. Even when I asked Miss Shirley, she just smiled without answering, so I assumed it was another magical skill of the perfect Head Maid.
Although Lianbing was unhappy and said it wasn’t my original finger, and later kept asking Xue Qing for my little finger, this way my family wouldn’t know about my severed finger.
Only Lianbing and Xue Qing knew, along with the maids who helped transport me. Even the hospital staff didn’t know I was missing a finger.
“N-no, to be able to take a blow for Lord Juncheng, I am truly honored…”
While she said that, it was impossible to truly not care.
“Give me the ointment, I’ll apply it for you.”
Although the healing speed had greatly increased, it didn’t mean scars wouldn’t be left behind. In fact, my body was still covered in wounds.
However, scars might add to a man’s charm, but not for a woman. It was better to remove them if possible.
“Thank you for your trouble. But I don’t mind this. This is a scar left for Lord Juncheng, and I am very proud of it.”
I was tired of hearing such flattery.
“Ah, well, fine, let’s just say I want to remove your scar. Whether looking at it or touching it, scars are… unpleasant…”
“…Yes, as you wish.”
Don’t suddenly get shy…
Taking the small ointment bottle from Yu Hui, I poured a little onto my palm and refocused my attention on her back.
I stared intently at Yu Hui’s back, following the curve of her back from her fair neck downwards, confirming the size of the scar.
Unexpectedly, I discovered something even more precious on her lower back.
There were two sunken, diamond-shaped dimples on her lower back.
Could this be the legendary ‘Venus’s dimples’? Waist dimples, which only girls with a balanced physique and not too thin or too plump can have. They are considered an ideal figure – a rare physical characteristic, with only three percent of women possessing the area called ‘Venus’s dimples’.
Their presence was truly the finishing touch to the beauty of her entire back… hmm, perhaps these were ‘eyes’ on a person’s back…
Ah, no, now is not the time to admire her back, I should apply the ointment quickly.
I dipped my left thumb into the ointment and slid it down the shallow scar, then back up. I repeated this three or four times.
Yu Hui couldn’t help but let out a soft moan.
I became increasingly engrossed. After sliding my finger down to the bottom once more, I finally couldn’t resist pressing on the left waist dimple. Then my right hand touched the other dimple as well.
I held her waist from behind, then kneaded with my thumbs and released my palms. The delicate feeling from my hands and fingers made me love it. It felt different from kneading Xinran’s calf through her tights just now. The smooth, soft, tender feeling of pure skin filled my fingertips. No wonder those playboys liked to hold beautiful women’s waists – the feel of a waist was truly great.
Moreover, it was convenient whether I reached around to touch her abdomen and chest, moved upwards to her back, or downwards to her hips. It was an excellent starting point.
Why am I so skilled?
I noticed something strange when I kissed Xue Qing last time. I seem to know women’s bodies too well.
Huh?
I’m still a virgin. Could it be Xinran’s doing again?
That doesn’t seem right. No matter what, it shouldn’t have affected me to this extent. Who would grope someone in their sleep? That’s too strange!
My mind was in a mess, and the pressure of my hands unconsciously increased.
“Cough…”
Yu Hui let out a muffled groan and leaned her upper body forward.
Thinking something was wrong, I immediately grabbed her wrist to prevent her from falling forward and asked, “What’s wrong? Are you not feeling well?”
“It’s okay, it’s just… my waist is a sensitive spot. Being touched there makes me feel…”
“Ah, I understand. I can’t help but laugh when my waist is tickled too. Sorry, your back is just too beautiful, that I absentmindedly touched you… I apologize.”
“It’s alright. If you like it… it’s just that this position is a bit…”
Yu Hui stammered, and only then did I realize the situation.
Just now, I grabbed her hand to prevent her from falling, and her lower body was pulled along with me. Her buttocks landed right on my thigh, creating a rather awkward position… Isn’t this the doggy style?!
What the heck is this situation?!
I quickly stepped back two paces, my heels hitting something, and I lost my balance, falling onto the chair.
Yu Hui slowly turned around.
Her flat abdomen and partially revealed chest came into my view. Her face had turned completely red, and her whole body seemed to be flushing. Her heartbeat was rapid, and her breathing was hurried. A thin layer of tears welled up in her eyes, and she looked at me with a moist gaze and said, “If it’s what Lord Juncheng wants, Yu Hui is willing…”
I reflexively retorted, but I knew exactly what she meant by “willing.”
Yu Hui removed her arms from the bra straps, and the milky white bra fell to the floor, revealing her chest completely. She walked over, straddled my lap, placed her slender arms on my shoulders, gently hugged my head, and exhaled like a fragrant breeze into my ear.
“Please use this body however you like.”
Wait, don’t say things like that at a time like this! For some reason, I’m extremely susceptible to temptation today… If even you, Yu Hui, try to tempt me… I really might give in and make a mistake.
Hold on, my right hand! Don’t be reckless! Don’t reach out!!!
The phone vibrated at just the right moment. I forcefully redirected my outstretched hand into my own pocket.
“Oh! A call! I’ll take it first!”
I quickly seized this opportunity, stood up, lifted Yu Hui, and placed her on the bed. Then I turned around, took out my phone from my pocket. At this moment, any call, even an unwanted one, was fine as long as it could break this ambiguous atmosphere!
“Wait, wait, wait! Don’t continue!”
I knew it was Lan Hua by her voice.
“Even though seeing you play with other women gets me a little excited, and I can’t help but touch myself when I get carried away… No, what I wanted to say is! You can’t continue! Juncheng’s virginity can’t be wasted on just any woman!” Wasted? Isn’t it the other way around?
She made my virgin status sound so precious. Though I didn’t mind much, most men would consider remaining a virgin a disgrace. No, what’s more important now is that Lan Hua immediately spoke about the situation in the room, which means…
As I picked up the bra from the floor and handed it to Yu Hui, I asked helplessly, “Lan… where did you peek from again?…”
I almost forgot that my room was under Lan Hua’s surveillance… So, if I had continued just now, wouldn’t it have been like an explicit show in front of Lan Hua? Thinking about it is embarrassing!
“That despicable woman, she’s learning from me with her exposed chest! Because it seemed like the safest option, I let you stay by Juncheng’s side, but who knew she wanted to steal from within the fortress! Truly despicable! Bai Xue Mei, I misjudged you!”
Completely ignoring me, she started yelling loudly. I quickly covered the top of the phone and said, “What nonsense are you talking… cough, cough, Yu Hui she’s just…”
“Anyway, don’t continue! I’ve been watching! Juncheng, you can just play with them with your hands, don’t…”
Too noisy.
The sound was too loud. Yu Hui next to me could hear it… Lan Hua, saying that is too impolite….
“What do you mean by ‘play with’…”
What do you think of me as…?
Thinking about my actions so far, I do have a bit of a scumbag vibe… Damn it! No way! Did I turn into a scumbag without even knowing it!
Just as I was stunned, Yu Hui came before me, bowed, and offered her hand, saying, “Lord Juncheng, could I borrow your phone? Let me talk to her.”
“Wait, put your bra on first…”
“No need. I would have to take it off anyway. And Yu Hui feels honored that this body is appreciated by Lord Juncheng.”
Wait, what do you mean by “would have to take it off anyway?” Explain yourself!
However, I still handed the phone to Yu Hui. Yu Hui received the phone and pressed the speakerphone button so I could hear clearly. Then, a voice came from the phone, barking, “You slut, what do you want to tell me! You’re saying you’ll take it off later too?! You’re shameless! Get out of Juncheng’s room immediately!”
Dear Lord, what is this intense tone, like catching someone in the act!
Faced with Lan Hua’s overly aggressive words, I couldn’t help but wince, but Yu Hui remained unfazed and calmly replied, “That was just a test.”
“…What?”
I echoed Lan Hua’s question, as Yu Hui’s words were a bit strange. A test? Were those seductive actions just now all a test?
“If you have been watching Lord Juncheng all along, you should understand what I mean. Lord Juncheng has been acting strangely for the past few days…”
It’s true that there have been signs. Recently, Juncheng has been looking lecherous and his physical contact with other women has become more frequent… Ah, no, I mean, this is normal, right? After all, Juncheng is a man, it’s in his nature. Even the Book of Songs says, “A beautiful lady is sought by the virtuous man,” so it’s normal for Juncheng to want to touch women. Of course, I’m very understanding, as long as he’s not serious, he can play with women as he pleases. After all, if he only has me to face in the future, he’ll start babbling after a while. What is she saying?!
“Hmph, ignorance.” Yu Hui snorted disdainfully and said. “You’ve been watching Lord Juncheng all along, yet you didn’t notice the problem. It seems your attention to Lord Juncheng is also mediocre.”
“What did you say! I am the one who understands Juncheng best in this world! How dare you say–…” Lan Hua, unwilling to be outdone, tried to retort, but Yu Hui completely ignored her. “Since I’ve said what I needed to say, I don’t want to waste any more time with you. Just watch obediently from there.”
After saying this, Yu Hui hung up the phone without any hesitation. Then she returned the phone to me and looked directly at me, calling my name. The oppressive feeling was intense… The previously romantic and ambiguous atmosphere had completely vanished, replaced by a serious and solemn one. I couldn’t help but straighten my back and look up at Yu Hui, the “big boss.”
“What are your orders!”
It was as if a doctor was informing a patient of a disease, possibly a terminal one, in a heavy and solemn tone, she announced, “Your spirit is out of sorts.”
