Young Master Gu, Please Be Gentle

Xia Ling turned her head to evade his kiss.

Feeling her rejection, Xuan Ying froze, slowly letting her go. They looked at each other without saying anything.

Xuan Ying’s eyes were bloodshot and he lowered his lashes.

After being pulled under the cold spray of water, Xia Ling regained her rationality, her wet hair entangled around her neck. She pulled her collar, protecting herself as she looked at him warily.

She recalled what she had done in the car. How could she not? His scent was still lingering in her mouth from the kiss earlier on.

The scene played in her mind again, when he pressed himself against her while doing those… intimate things.

To be honest, she felt really shy and a little afraid. She wasn’t prepared for this at all, whatever this was. All she wanted was to raise up Mu Mu and lead a peaceful life. She had no plans of dating, nor did she plan to have another man.

Noticing that her eyes were avoiding him, Xuan Ying panted a little before he said, “You were drugged. Have a cold shower, I’ll be right outside. Call me if you need anything.”

He then walked out of the shower.

…

He left.

Was… Was he going to leave just like that?

Xia Ling wasn’t certain, she could see the blazing desire in his eyes just now. He wanted her.

But he just left like that.

As Xia Ling stood under the shower, her body was warm yet cold at the same time. It was going to drive her insane.

She felt terrible.

When she looked over, she saw that the frosted glass door wasn’t closed. He probably worried that something would happen to her, so he left it open.

From her position, she could still see him. He stood in front of the counter, taking off his black uniform, revealing the white shirt and black trousers underneath.

The white shirt was completely damp and clung to his body. His muscles were tense and his chest continued heaving up and down.

As he supported himself with his hands on the bathroom counter, he switched on the tap, splashing some cold water on his face. When he lowered his eyes, he was really charming.

Xia Ling continued to look at him, her gaze traveling further down before it landed on his lower body.

His trousers were also damp, with a black leather belt around his trim waist, the rest was his long legs.

And there was a prominent bulge.

Xia Ling averted her eyes. No amount of cold water was going to help her, her body just got even hotter.

She opened her mouth to gasp for air, like a fish that was going to die from thirst.

She could hear some sounds again. Xuan Ying stood up straight, walking out of the bathroom.

Thump. Thump. Xia Ling’s heart palpitated at a million miles a second. It was as though her heart no longer belonged to herself. Before she could even think properly, she burst out of the shower.

Xuan Ying was at the bathroom door, about to step out when a body ran over from behind, hugging him close.

Xuan Ying froze.

Clenching his fists by his sides, Xuan Ying lifted his eyes to look at the chandeliers hanging above him. “Lingling, stop playing with me. You’re going to… ruin me soon!”

But Xia Ling continued hugging him, not knowing what to say.

He needed to get out of here.

But when he took a step, Xia Ling followed him, taking a step too. She followed him closely with her body sticking to him.

Xuan Ying’s Adam’s apple bobbed, suddenly turning around to hold her face. He bent over, kissing her already swollen lips.

They kissed.

Xuan Ying moved backward as he kissed her, pushing her against the bathroom counter. “Lingling, you have no way out now.”

Xia Ling closed her eyes, trying to not think about the consequences of her actions. All she knew was that she really needed him now.

Perhaps she actually kind of liked him.

They barely knew each other, but he would always make her blush and make her heart do crazy things.

Stretching her arms out, Xia Ling found herself encircling his waist as she pulled him closer.

…

The next morning.

Xia Ling took Mu Mu to kindergarten and Mu Mu hugged her mommy’s neck. “Mommy, why didn’t you come home last night? I really missed you.”

Auntie Zhang smiled. “Mu Mu, your mommy was busy working last night.”

Ever since Mu Mu started attending kindergarten, Xia Ling engaged Auntie Zhang to take care of Mu Mu. Auntie Zhang was experienced, she knew that the hickies around Xia Ling’s neck was the outcome of an entire night of intimacy.

Xia Ling was somewhat embarrassed, but she experienced a lot of guilt as well. She held Mu Mu in her arms and kissed her. “Mu Mu, Mommy will take you to the amusement park tomorrow since it’s the weekend. I’ll treat you to a good meal, okay?”

“Okay, bye-bye Mommy!”

Mu Mu was taken into the kindergarten by the teacher.

“Miss Xia, you’re still young. If you meet someone you like, you should just date him. Mu Mu needs a daddy too,” Auntie Zhang said.

Xia Ling blushed. “Auntie Zhang, I’ll leave for my lessons now.”

She turned around to leave.

…

Xia Ling boarded the public bus, taking the seat next to the window. Her body hurt all over, as though her bones were going to fall apart. She unconsciously closed her legs.

Everything that happened yesterday night replayed vividly in her mind.

They did it several times in his room. In the morning, she huddled up under the blankets and he suddenly moved, towering above her. She didn’t even dare to open her eyes.

After the activity, he went to the bathroom to take a shower and changed into a new set of clothes before leaving.

He didn’t even say a word, he just left.

In the end, she had to endure the pain and put on her clothes, heading home by herself.

She didn’t know whether it was normal for things to end like this after men and women slept with each other. She was somewhat disappointed but felt even more embarrassed.

What were his intentions?

His advances, those moves, he did all of that only because he wanted to sleep with her?

Was that it?

Now that he had achieved his aims, he left.

Xia Ling’s face turned pale as she clenched her fists. Whatever, she wasn’t going to think about it anymore. She was going to take yesterday’s incident as an accident.

She had already given birth to Mu Mu, she wasn’t an innocent maiden. It was just a one night stand anyway, she didn’t really lose anything.

…

After alighting the bus, Xia Ling didn’t enter the campus, but rather, went to a pharmacy nearby. Since he didn’t use any protection yesterday and it was her fertile period, she could easily get pregnant.

She didn’t want to have an accidental pregnancy. She was still studying and she also had to take care of Mu Mu, she couldn’t afford to have any accidents.

Xia Ling entered the pharmacy and the counter attendant was a middle-aged lady who looked really unfriendly.

“Can I get some contraceptive pills?”

…

The middle-aged lady’s attitude was bad, handing a box of pills to Xia Ling irritably.

Xia Ling didn’t take it from her. “May I know if you have traditional Chinese contraceptive medicine? I’m allergic to western medicine.”

“I don’t have any of that here, I only have these contraceptive pills. If you don’t want them, you can leave.”

“I’ll take them.”

Xia Ling paid and took the pills, preparing to leave.

As she walked away, the middle-aged lady mumbled, “Didn’t even use protection while enjoying her time with a man, now she comes to get contraceptive pills by herself. One look and I can tell she’s not a decent girl!”

Hearing the woman’s words, Xia Ling’s face turned pale. Even though she was humiliated by the middle-aged lady, she chose not to say anything, and just left the shop with her head down.

…

Xuan Ying went for a run at the army base and was covered in sweat.

The black t-shirt stuck to his muscular chest and he wore a pair of camouflage army pants with military boots. Ah Zhou handed over a towel and he took it, casually wiping his sweat before he entered the bathroom to take a shower.
