Chapter 22: The Night Attack That Blossomed Thrice
Luo Xiu’s expression paused. He coughed lightly and said, “Selena, you and I both know that the Judgment is just an excuse to deceive the Holy See. Why bother…”
Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by the girl pressing herself tightly against him again.
Selena hugged him from behind and chuckled softly, “Alright, Lord Luo Xiu, of course I understand.”
Her voice returned to normal, and her previous seductive demeanor quietly vanished.
Selena continued to speak softly, “Lord Luo Xiu, can I just hug you like this? Just a hug, and nothing more.”
Her request was not excessive, and Luo Xiu naturally did not reject it.
The man lowered his head and reached out to cover the girl’s small hands encircling his waist.
The touch of her hand was a bit cold, a far cry from the hot, even scorching, feeling on his back.
For the next few minutes, neither of them spoke.
The moonlight was tranquil, and their figures were hazy.
Finally, Luo Xiu broke the silence first.
He said softly, “Selena, have you hugged enough? I’m about to turn around, you know?”
As the saying goes, one’s courage wanes with each successive attempt.
Luo Xiu could clearly feel that after that moment of passion had passed, Selena had already reverted to her usual shy maiden state.
He felt relieved and even had the mood to tease her.
As expected, when he said this, a shy gasp, as if waking from a dream, came from behind him.
“Huh?!”
“Wait, Lord Luo Xiu, you can’t!”
She fumbled and hastily picked up her fallen skirt from the ground.
Then, there was the rustling sound of clothes and skin rubbing together.
After she had finished everything and called out softly, Luo Xiu slowly turned around.
He saw Selena, already fully dressed, standing neatly.
The girl’s hair was slightly messy, with a few strands clinging to her smooth forehead. Her eyes sparkled, shy and tender.
As soon as her eyes met Luo Xiu’s, she quickly looked away.
Selena’s collar was still somewhat disheveled, and she had no idea where she had thrown the belt for her waist.
Being stared at so nakedly by Luo Xiu, the girl only felt a burning sensation on her face.
Fortunately, it was a late night with no lamps lit, otherwise, her blushing, beautiful face would have been visible at a glance.
Selena was suddenly jolted awake, realizing what a rebellious thing she had just done.
She had… she had actually taken the initiative to seduce Lord Luo Xiu.
The thought of her shameless, wanton behavior just now made her face incredibly hot, not to mention her little heart pounding rapidly.
How embarrassing…
Selena buried her head like an ostrich.
Her fair toes were nervously curled together.
However, she did not regret it. Instead, she felt a tiny bit of secret joy and a sense of lightness after a great release.
Luo Xiu suppressed the tremor in his heart, habitually stroked her small face, and said with a smile, “What, now you’re shy? What were you doing earlier?”
Selena fidgeted, humming and hawing for a long time, but in the end, she couldn’t utter a complete sentence.
Unableto bear her shyness, she reached out and lightly hit Luo Xiu, then turned and ran away with a whoosh.
As she ran, she muttered softly.
“Honestly, I really dislike Lord Luo Xiu. He just knows how to tease people!”
This sentence sounded somewhat familiar.
But compared to when Eileen said it, Selena’s voice was noticeably soft and sweet, lacking any power, only making one feel like she was trying to entice him further.
Seeing that she had finally left, Luo Xiu felt a sense of relief, and his tense body relaxed.
He wiped the fine sweat from his forehead, thinking that dealing with this little “witch” was dangerous. If he wasn’t careful, he might end up being completely consumed…
Degenerate, so degenerate!
Luo Xiu felt deep remorse for the impure thoughts in his mind.
The moment she reached for the doorknob, the girl suddenly turned back.
Her eyes were bright and clearly visible in the darkness. Her voice was filled with deep remorse, yet tinged with an undeniable sweetness.
“Lord Luo Xiu, thank you. I was too willful today. I will reflect on myself properly when I get back!”
Hearing this, Luo Xiu felt very pleased.
He thought that his previous efforts to persuade her had not been in vain.
Just as this thought flashed through his mind, he heard the girl continue, “I will reflect properly and strive to succeed next time!”
After saying those bold words, Selena quickly took to her heels and ran out with her head down.
Luo Xiu was stunned for a moment, then shouted, “Wait, Selena, you’re running the wrong way…”
*Bang!*
In the darkness, a muffled sound could be heard, likely the sound of a body hitting a wall.
The girl did not turn back despite Luo Xiu’s reminder. Instead, she sped up, like a startled kitten.
Never mind.
Luo Xiu thought, it’s a circle anyway, does it matter which way she runs?
He was already tired from reading books tonight, and now with Selena’s fuss, he was truly “mentally and physically exhausted.”
Luo Xiu casually closed the door.
The room returned to silence, leaving only a lingering fragrance, as if recounting everything that had just happened.
Luo Xiu’s thoughts were somewhat scattered tonight. He took a step and slowly walked towards the bed.
He suddenly stopped, feeling like he had stepped on something strange.
He bent down and picked it up.
It was cool and smooth to the touch.
Luo Xiu was a little curious. Too lazy to turn on the light, he walked to the window and examined it carefully by the moonlight.
Pure white and flawless, as thin as cicada wings.
It was Selena’s thin stockings from earlier.
Perhaps it was too dark in the room and she had put them on incorrectly?
Thinking this, Luo Xiu casually threw them onto a chair.
After all, it was the middle of the night, and it wasn’t very convenient to chase after her to return them.
He would leave them here for now, and when he remembered tomorrow, he would have Selena pick them up herself.
He stretched lazily, changed his clothes, and got into bed to sleep.
Just then, there was another knock on the door.
Luo Xiu frowned, he was truly getting annoyed now.
People “visit thrice” for important matters, but she’s here for a “triple night raid”?
He decided to ignore it, pretending he didn’t hear, and lay down.
The knocking outside the door only lasted twice before falling silent.
Luo Xiu thought that Selena had understood his intention and retreated.
However, in the next moment, he heard the door creak open, pushed open gently.
Then, a sneaky, petite figure tiptoed in.
She looked around, then froze upon seeing the man lying asleep on the bed.
Luo Xiu quietly opened one eye.
The night grew deeper, as dark as ink, and the moon outside was just obscured by lingering clouds.
This made it difficult for him to see the girl’s expression.
“Hmph, Selena, your courage is growing, isn’t it?”
Luo Xiu thought to himself, it seemed like he had to teach her a lesson today.
Taking advantage of the girl’s daze, he suddenly reached out and pulled her into his embrace.
