42 Tenderness is also Cruelty (2/2)

”It won't hurt this time. Trust me.” He continuously whispered comforting words into her ears. His eyes, filled with desire, held much more bold malice.

It was not the usual iciness, but it was still a darkness that holds people off.

Xia Ruoxin's long eyelashes softly fluttered. Her crystal-clear eyes seemed as if they were holding something back. His cruel side was unapproachable, but she was more scared of his gentle side.

She did not understand his sudden change. She was still hesitating, and her body was still resisting. She thought he would sloppily and impatiently finish, caring only for his own pleasure and choosing to hurt her just like in the past.

But this time, he spent such a long time to let her get used to it.

She suddenly felt that she might die, not by his cruelty, but by his gentleness.

It really did not hurt this time. She even felt something she had never before, and it made her heart race indescribably.

Unbeknownst to them, the darkness that had shown no signs of the day had already begun restlessly. The cool breeze blew lightly against the soft curtains.

In the quiet of the night, the mingling of their breaths can barely be heard in the air.

Chu Lui caressed her silky hair as she lay on his arms. It was an entirely different feeling than with Yixuan. Yixuan's hair was slightly tough, the strands slightly prickly. But hers was soft, so soft that it made him want to ruin it.
