37: Delicate Body, Winding Like a Water Snake
“It’s an order.”
Wu Liang’s voice was like a breeze stirring the pond’s surface, neither warm nor harsh, a magnetic and steady male voice flowing through.
“This…”
Yao Shi bit her lip, her expression complex as she looked at Wu Liang, who was the picture of calm.
She was the Young Master’s maid; logically, the Young Master’s command was the supreme decree, an order she couldn’t refuse.
But the Young Master’s command indeed put her in a very difficult position; she was just a servant, how could she allow the Young Master to…
“If you don’t hurry back, He Xue will only worry about you more.”
Seeing Yao Shi’s hesitation, Wu Liang had no choice but to use He Xue as a bargaining chip.
Although it sounded somewhat threatening, if he didn’t say it, Yao Shi would find it hard to ignore the disparity in their statuses.
Especially Yao Shi, who had been taught the Wu family’s etiquette from a young age, it was hard for her to break free from those rigid rules.
“I… I understand…”
Yao Shi let out a sigh of resignation and said, “Fine, since you’ve made up your mind, I won’t bother saying anything anymore.”
She didn’t bother explaining herself and walked over to Wu Liang’s side, being careful not to make any sudden movements.
But just as Yao Shi was about to put her hand on Wu Liang’s shoulder, his delicate fingers trembled.
Suddenly, he froze in place like a wooden statue, his beautiful eyes gradually widening, and a hint of worry crept onto his face.
Looking at Wu Liang’s sweaty back, Yao Shi’s emotions were uncontrollable, and she clenched her fists tightly, her knuckles whitening. Little Master was searching for himself, after all…
“What’s wrong? What’s wrong?” Wu Liang asked, turning his head in confusion, seeing Yao Shi standing still like a statue.
Is it because she’s shy? But thinking about it, it’s also understandable. Yao Shi is just a 19-year-old girl, after all.
Yao Shi had never had such close contact with a male before, and she would naturally feel uncomfortable and distant. “Yao Shi, if you feel it’s not suitable…”
“It’s fine, Little Master, I was just thinking about something, you don’t need to worry about it.”
Just as Wu Liang was about to say something, Yao Shi knelt down and leaned against his back.
Feeling the warmth from Wu Liang’s back, Yao Shi closed her eyes and whispered softly.
“Hey, you’re sweating a lot, you’re not going to…”
Unexpectedly, Yao Shi would suddenly press her body against Wu Liang’s, and Wu Liang hurriedly explained to her.
But after feeling the coldness emanating from Yao Shi’s body, Wu Liang’s voice grew smaller and smaller.
Why was Yao Shi’s body so cold? This coldness was like a lifeless corpse.
“Little Master, let’s go, don’t let Miss He Xue wait,”
The white jade-like arm slid through Wu Liang’s neck like a water snake, hooking onto his chest.
Gently, she pressed her body against Wu Liang’s back, as if she was shy, and buried her head in his shoulder.
“Ah… good… good…”
The fragrant breath blew against her ear, and the soft, delicate body tightly pressed against Wu Liang’s back.
The body was as fragile as a boneless doll, light and airy.
Her hands were trembling as she reached out to touch Yao Shi’s thigh, sliding over the black silk hand with a slight prickling sensation, yet extremely tender.
This was a high-quality silk fabric, and Wu Liang couldn’t help but touch it twice, feeling the soft, slippery sensation transmit to his brain.
Yao Shi’s thighs were not particularly meaty, but also not particularly slender, with a fine texture.
“Ah-ah, let’s go.”
Realizing that he was acting like a fool, Wu Liang hastily stopped his hands, his face flushing slightly.
He placed his hands on the inside of Yao Shi’s thigh, using a little force, and the fine texture stimulated his fingertips.
Taking a deep breath, Wu Liang silently recited the calming mantra in his mind.
Wu Liang now fully understood what kind of sage Liu Xia Hui, who remained unflustered in the presence of a woman, really was.
Just brushing against Yao Shi’s thigh nearly made him lose his composure, let alone the outrageous idea of having Yao Shi sit in his lap.
“Whew… stay calm… lust is a blade hanging over your head…”
He took a deep breath to caution himself, Wu Liang suddenly stood up, but almost fell backward due to the force.
He hastily stepped back to stabilize himself, which made his heart sink.
Yao Shi was lighter than he expected, her body was so delicate.
It was not the weight of a normal woman, especially since Yao Shi was a good one meter seventy tall.
“Yao Shi, you…”
“Young Master, it’s time to go.”
Yao Shi tightened her slender arms, her cheek resting on Wu Liang’s shoulder, a faint blush on her face.
Her body pressed against Wu Liang’s, warming slightly, Yao Shi could even clearly hear her own heartbeat.
It was like the sound of a muffled drum echoing in her ears, a sensation of accelerated heartbeat she had never felt before.
The masculine scent from Wu Liang’s body continuously brushed against her face, making her thoughts even more chaotic.
“Ah… um… let’s go back…”
The words she wanted to ask got stuck in her throat, Wu Liang showed a helpless smile, tightened his arms, and strode forward.
He still couldn’t get any information related to Yao Shi from her.
But looking at the current situation, Yao Shi was definitely not just an ordinary maid like in the game setting.
Yao Shi had an unknown past and secrets too painful to touch upon.
Since Yao Shi couldn’t speak to him yet, Wu Liang saw no need to press her; things would take their natural course.
Sooner or later, he would learn Yao Shi’s secrets and everything about her.
“Young Master, do you think Miss He Xue will be angry?”
Yao Shi asked softly, the murderous intent she had previously shown was not something ordinary people could withstand.
If Miss He Xue formed any opinions about her because of this, it would create a rift between Young Master Wu Liang and Miss He Xue.
She didn’t want that to happen, if there was a way to remedy it…
“Don’t worry, He Xue is not that fragile, it’s clear she cares a lot about you.”
Wu Liang smiled, He Xue might look like a delicate little princess, but she wouldn’t hold a grudge against Yao Shi for this.
However, to make He Xue relax a bit, it seemed necessary to use that method.
“Let’s take a detour, I have a place I want to take you.”
As if thinking of something amusing, a low chuckle came from beneath the chicken head costume.
“Young Master, why is everyone around us paying so much attention?”
Yao Shi felt the burning gazes of the passersby around her, instinctively reaching down to adjust her skirt.
It seemed as if the onlookers’ attention on her had multiplied since before.
“This wave, this is the fury of the singles.”
Wu Liang, feeling the stares that almost seemed to devour him alive, burst into laughter.
Are you guys in a hurry or what?
