Chapter 10 Who is outside?
Before Li Huilan could finish her thoughts, the infant in her arms suddenly started crying, startling her out of her daze.
Snapping back to her senses, Li Huilan clumsily began to soothe the baby. As she did, a cold sweat broke out on her back when she recalled the thoughts that had just crossed her mind.
What was I thinking just now? I'm already married, I have a child—how could I entertain such thoughts? No, I mustn't think like that! But… Er Gou's body is so strong… I just can't…
As she mulled it over, Li Huilan found her mind irresistibly drifting back to those very thoughts.
「...」
Escorted by Luo Kang, Liu Ergou had already reached the main road.
"Brother Er Gou, don't forget the rest of the treatment!" Luo Kang called out.
Liu Ergou turned and replied, "Don't worry, Brother Luo Kang, I won't forget!"
After parting ways with Luo Kang, Liu Ergou hurried home. About ten minutes later, he arrived back at his house.
Stepping into his yard, Liu Ergou planned to go to his room and study the Body Cultivation Technique left to him by his great-grandfather. As he passed Xu Yulan's part of the courtyard, he decided to pop in and greet his sister-in-law, letting her know he was back so she wouldn't worry.
But as he approached Xu Yulan's door, he heard a faint rustling sound, and a wisp of steam drifted out from the crack.
My sister-in-law… is she taking a bath?
Liu Ergou couldn't help but gulp, the image of her graceful figure flooding his mind. Still reeling from the intimate treatment with Li Huilan, his mind went blank. He cautiously pressed himself against the door, peering through the crack into the room.
Inside, Xu Yulan was taking off her outer clothes. In the blink of an eye, her robe slipped off, revealing her snow-white shoulders. At this sight, Liu Ergou's eyes blazed with fervor. With a soft tug, Xu Yulan removed her inner garments. At the same time, a pair of magnificent, snow-white peaks surged forth, trembling for a few moments before settling.
The sight nearly blinded Liu Ergou, leaving him stunned. In that brief moment of his stupor, the last of Xu Yulan's clothes disappeared. The steam in the room veiled her form like a thin mist obscuring a breathtaking landscape. Through the vapor, her magnificent twin peaks were partially revealed, lush and majestic. The view was utterly captivating.
Liu Ergou felt as if his eyes could shoot fire. My sister-in-law truly is the most beautiful woman in all the neighboring villages!
Inside the room, Xu Yulan was completely oblivious to the world outside as she bathed. She scooped up some water and let it cascade over her body, then began to gently rub her skin. Her fingers glided over her collarbone, then across her chest, before continuing their journey downward without pause.
The beautiful, pleasant scenery overwhelmed Liu Ergou. His eyes were nearly glued to the sight. His breathing grew heavy, wheezing like a large bellows as he marveled at his sister-in-law's perfection.
However, his heavy breathing alerted Xu Yulan, who immediately grew vigilant.
"Who is it? Who's outside!"
Still peeking, Liu Ergou was startled.
Crap! I've been discovered!
His immediate instinct was to run. But before he could take a single step, Xu Yulan's voice rang out again. "Don't even think about running! I already know who you are!"
Liu Ergou instantly realized he couldn't escape. He stammered, "It's... it's me... Sister-in-law..."
Hearing Liu Ergou's voice, Xu Yulan was caught completely off guard. "Ah? Er Gou? You... you're back?"
"Mhm..." Liu Ergou grunted in response. The beautiful scene he had just witnessed was replaying endlessly in his head, fanning the flames of his desire.
No longer able to control himself, he threw open the door to his sister-in-law's room and strode inside.
His bold action left Xu Yulan frozen in place. Staring at the heavily breathing, red-eyed Liu Ergou, it was now her turn to be tongue-tied.
"Er... Er Gou, what are you doing!"
With reddened eyes, Liu Ergou said, "Sister-in-law... I... I've missed you so much!"
With that, he lunged forward, sweeping the completely bare Xu Yulan into his arms. Held tightly in his embrace, Xu Yulan was overcome by his overpowering masculine scent, and her body went limp. She collapsed helplessly into his arms, completely drained of strength to move.
"Er Gou... I..."
Before Xu Yulan could finish, Liu Ergou lowered his head and crushed his lips against hers. Having gone through this once before, he was no longer as clumsy; this time, he was far more skilled.
Several long minutes later, Liu Ergou finally, and reluctantly, lifted his head. By then, Xu Yulan's cheeks were flushed crimson. Utterly devoid of strength, she was completely limp in his embrace.
Lost in Liu Ergou's potent masculine aura, Xu Yulan could no longer think straight.
But the last sliver of reason in my mind screamed that this was wrong. I absolutely mustn't lose control! Er Gou is my brother-in-law!
It was this final shred of rationality that allowed Xu Yulan to muster the strength to lift her arm and pathetically tap his broad chest. She meant to push him away, but her weakness turned the gesture into something resembling flirtatious play.
This was the final straw for the already-strained Liu Ergou. He tightened his grip, sweeping her up into his arms and lifting her effortlessly. That single motion shattered the last remnants of Xu Yulan's rationality.
"Just... just... this... once..." she stammered.
Just then, Liu Ergou's deep voice rumbled next to her ear. "Sister-in-law, help me, quickly..."
"I feel like I'm going to explode!"
With that, he guided her delicate, boneless hand onto him.
The moment her hand made contact, Xu Yulan, who had been lost in a hazy daze, snapped back to reality with a jolt.
Oh my god! Liu Ergou is unbelievably robust! This is actually a little frightening!
At that thought, her already crimson cheeks flushed several shades deeper.
"Okay... I'll... help..."
Before Xu Yulan could say the word "you," a voice as sweet and melodious as a lark's song suddenly drifted in from outside the door.
