Chapter 48 - Do You Like Me? (1/2)

For a moment, both of them were stunned. Du Xiaoxian looked at the towel that had fallen on the bed while Gu Nianbin looked at her. Then she raised her head and said in panic, “I’m not a bad woman.”

Gu Nianbin froze for a second before bursting into laughter, which helped him get rid of all the awkwardness. It was his fault. He should tell her beforehand.

Hearing his laughter, Du Xiaoxian became even more embarrassed and tried to hide under the quilt again, but this time she was a little slower and got caught by Gu Nianbin. He wrapped her in his arms and picked up the jumper he just dropped on the bed. Then he helped her put on the jumper, which covered her well to her knees. Du Xiaoxian was finally at ease, yet she was still very shy. She struggled to free herself from Gu Nianbin’s arms but failed. He refused to let her go and kept holding her tightly. “Don’t move, listen to me.”

Du Xiaoxian habitually followed his order and stayed still, but she did not dare to lean on his chest, so she could only sit on his lap stiffly.

Gu Nianbin let out a soft sigh and said, “Xiaoxian, of course you are not a bad woman. You are very good. I…I like you very much.” After a pause, he added. “I helped you bathe because you sweated a lot with a fever, but you were dizzy and too weak to have a bath by yourself. What happened a moment ago was nothing but an accident? You don’t have to be afraid.”

Du Xiaoxian kept her head low and said in a soft voice. “My mother said that a woman’s body can only be seen by one man throughout her whole life.”

“Yes!” Gu Nianbin’s voice rose with joy, which he had not even realized. “Your mother was so right. Since you had shown it to me, you can’t let a second man see your body. Do you know?”

Du Xiaoxian nodded with a blush. “Yes.”

“What do you know?” Gu Nianbin teased her.

“I…” Du Xiaoxian raised her face, which was bright scarlet as if blood was about to drip from it. She took a look at Gu Nianbin in panic. Actually she didn’t know anything! She didn’t know why the young master suddenly showed up. She didn’t know why she was sick. She didn’t know why the young master bathed her, not to mention why she was sitting in his arms like this. He only treated her this way because…he really liked her a lot, right?

Her mind was still such a mess that she couldn’t keep things straight. Actually she had a faint understanding of his intention, but she wouldn’t dare think about it even in her wildest dream. It was the young master, who was too noble and precious for her…Du Xiaoxian covered her eyes again as if it was the only way to prevent Gu Nianbin from seeing her embarrassment.

Gu Nianbin felt it funny looking at her. How could there be such a naive little girl in the world? She was so cute that he wished he could take a bite of her right now.

“Listen to me, Xiaoxian.” Gu Nianbin said seriously. “You can’t show other men your body nor let them touch you. You can’t get too close to other men nor talk too much with them. Understood?”

Du Xiaoxian nodded immediately. She was unconditionally obedient to Gu Nianbin whatever he ordered her.

“Don’t simply nod.” Gu Nianbin lifted her chin. “Look into my eyes and say yes.”

Du Xiaoxian shrank her body slightly and pursed her lips. She seemed to have summoned every ounce of courage she had, raised her head and looked into Gu Nianbin’s eyes. His eyes were so deep and dark, like the sea beneath the starry sky. She felt like her soul was absorbed by them in a blink of an eye. In his eyes, she saw her small figure with a little oval face. But her eyes were frighteningly bright, which was so unusual. She put her arms around Gu Nianbin’s neck and got closer, as if she wanted to see them more clearly. But the next second, she pouted and kissed Gu Nianbin on the lips.

Gu Nianbin was stunned in shock for a moment because he never thought that she could be so brave. The little girl was actually kissing him, but in an awkward way. He wanted to laugh, but the moment he opened his mouth, he couldn’t help but press his lips gently against hers. Du Xiaoxian moaned while her whole tender body collapsed into his bosom.

Gu Nianbin had actually waited for this for a long time. He was too worried about scaring and losing her. What he never expected was that she would take the first move. His heart was blooming with joy. All the feeling and desire that he had been restraining finally exploded…

The clock on the wall of the living room showed that it was already three in the morning, but the two seemed to be carried away as they kissed tirelessly, as if they had waited for this for a century, as if they were about to kiss until the end of time and space, as if they were stuck together and would never be separated again…

After an indefinite period of time, Gu Nianbin finally let go of her. Du Xiaoxian’s body collapsed into his embrace softly and froze. Gu Nianbin was stunned for a moment. He hurriedly patted her in the face. She seemed to have passed out again. He placed a finger beneath her nose but failed to feel breaths. He was shocked, hurriedly patted her in the face again, pressed upon her Renzhong Acupoint and blew air into her mouth. With all his efforts, Du Xiaoxian finally came to herself and caught a breath. She had absolutely no idea how to kiss, so during all that wild kissing, she was unable to stop for a breath, and in the end, she even forgot to breathe.

Gu Nianbin found it funny but scaring and decided to take it slow with her from now on. The good thing was, he had plenty of time to teach her slowly, one step at a time.

Du Xiaoxian wanted to sit up, but felt weak all over. She lowered her head and did not dare to look at Gu Nianbin, twisting her fingers.

Gu Nianbin grabbed her hand and kissed it. He then asked in a hoarse voice, “Do you like me?”

“Yes, sir. I like you.” Du Xiaoxian whispered, but in an incomparably clear voice.

“Then stay with me wherever I go from now on, okay?” Gu Nianbin said.

Du Xiaoxian pursed her lips hesitantly. Gu Nianbin panicked and asked immediately, “Don’t you agree? Don’t you like it?”
