Chapter 53: Deprived of the Right to Breathe (With Le Can, to ‘Bully’ and to ‘Ride’, he wants both!…)
Translator’s note: What is with the title? (uhm, ahem, Respectfully, I think it makes much more sense. hahaha)
Some people’s words are unpleasant to hear.
Saying things one doesn’t want to hear, yet looking pleasing to the eye.
In short: A stubborn mouth that needs kissing.
Le Can’s original idea of living in peace and treating each other with respect during the marriage with Xi Yun was smashed to pieces under the other party’s pressing questioning.
Le Can wasn’t very clear on what benefit it would be to Xi Yun for him to personally admit knowing about the X-ray vision.
Some things were better left muddled; it was clearly good for everyone, so why dig to the bottom?
Le Can couldn’t help but suspect, was this answer really all Xi Yun wanted?
What was he probing for? What kind of answer was he trying to get from him? Could these be related to his identity as a transmigrator…
Thinking more led to more confusion.
All doubts and worries mixed together like a ball of yarn getting messier the more one tried to untangle it, making Le Can’s head even more chaotic.
But Le Can understood well enough that the more it was like this, the less he could speak easily. Because the more he said, the more mistakes he’d make. Calming down later and regretting it wouldn’t help.
But anger rose from the heart, and malice grew from the gut; there had to be an outlet.
Swept up by emotions yet retaining a shred of reason, Le Can opened his mouth and gnawed on Xi Yun’s lips, which were trying to speak again.
Bite after bite, the force of every bite was filled with strong personal emotion.
You asked for this.
Someone had completely forgotten that Xi Yun had given him a reason to smooth things over.
It was he who poked through the tattered window paper, leading to the subsequent back-and-forth probing where neither gave an inch.
But clever as Xi Yun was, he deliberately gave an excuse full of holes. Did he not envision the current scene? Not necessarily…
If responsibility really had to be pursued, neither could escape.
However, things having reached this point, dwelling on these had lost meaning. Moreover, once some things started, whether to proceed or stop was no longer up to anyone…
The current Le Can didn’t realize this point.
The young man bent his knees, straddling the man’s body across a thin duvet.
Good people are bullied; gentle horses are ridden.
In Le Can’s case, to bully and to ride, he wanted both!
Because he raised and lowered his left leg urgently, the pant leg that originally covered his calf rolled up and bunched at the crook of his knee. A section of fair, smooth calf pressed directly onto the hand Xi Yun had resting on the bed.
The young man’s patella and the man’s right metacarpals collided and squeezed, transmitting a dull pain to each other’s senses.
But no one had the leisure to pay attention to this small matter.
Because compared to the relatively dull perception of knees and backs of hands, there were more sensitive and fragile body parts colliding with almost the same force.
Lips crashing against lips caused both the person on top and the person below to shudder in unison.
Physical pain was one aspect; the shock to the soul was another.
For Le Can, the former was perceived more. Pain made him unconsciously open his mouth to lick the lips… he didn’t taste the expected metallic sweetness.
The tender red tip of his tongue scraped over the soft lips belonging to another person. After retreating back into his mouth, it brought back a very faint taste of mint.
The taste was meager and bland; although there was a mint flavor, there was no cooling sensation of mint. In fact, not only did it fail to put out the fire, but it also lit another fire within the four lips pressed tightly together.
As for whose heart this fire burned into? Only the parties involved knew.
The impact Xi Yun received was more of the latter. Whether it was being shocked into speechlessness when straddled, or the momentary trance after lips met.
The lost initiative, once lost at the beginning, only led to a steady retreat.
The moist tongue tip appeared and disappeared, leaving a small patch of faint wet marks. Coinciding with a passing breeze, it gave birth to wisps of coolness.
But the coolness was too little. Not only did it fail to have any positive soothing effect, but it was also like water splashed into a heated oil pan, causing oil sparks to fly and steam to diffuse into more, hidden corners…
Xi Yun’s right hand, suppressed by the knee, slowly clenched, veins appearing on the back of his hand.
The dark blue blood vessels were like the veins of leaves, spreading from the base of the fingers to the tense forearm, finally disappearing into the messy pajama cuff. Just like… his endurance, which was fast approaching its limit at this moment.
Reason and endurance are always linked.
Le Can’s biggest misunderstanding of Xi Yun until now was probably that the male lead was so disciplined and restrained that, um… he had lost the desires a worldly man would have. (t/n: hahaahahhahahaha)
Commonly known as: spiritual impotence. (t/n: First time hearing about this. Hahahahha)
Especially after he gnawed on the other party, and Xi Yun still looked indifferent, it solidified Le Can’s conjecture even more.
The lingering uneasiness in his subconscious suddenly dispersed like clouds blown by the wind. So much so that after stopping at a shallow taste, Le Can, not believing in evil (stubbornly), bit layers of teeth marks onto the same lip.
From the lip surface to the lip contour, no place was spared…
After licking and biting without any method, the young man raised his head slightly with a profound look, narrowed his eyes… and smacked his lips.
Mm… still no taste?
Eyes dyed with doubt stared uncomprehendingly at the slightly miserable lips in front of him. From the full lips ravaged to a bright red and watery sheen, to the corners of the mouth that seemed pulled somewhat straight.
Bite marks covered them in a mess; one couldn’t find a trace of the original cold, aloof appearance that kept people a thousand miles away.
Le Can’s eyes flickered as he looked, a layer of shallow guilt surfacing in his eyes.
At this point, saying he was still angry would definitely be a lie. That dizzy state of mind had quietly changed during the repeated, increasingly lighter bites.
Acting on impulse felt good for a moment, but once the heated brain cooled down, what followed was the embarrassment of riding a tiger and finding it hard to get off.
Especially after experiencing the kiss and feeling it didn’t live up to its name.
The feeling of kissing seems… just like that?
Le Can once heard a saying: the best way to disenchant is to possess. Real experience removed the mystery brought by the unknown, and after the reverie shattered, there was a huge sense of disparity.
Even if it was Xi Yun, after kissing the first time, Le Can unwillingly tried a second time, a third time, a fourth time…
Kissing so many times, it’s still not good to kiss.
The kind that even the male lead couldn’t save, woo!
Le Can’s heart suddenly skipped a beat.
If kissing was so bland and tasteless, then the higher-level rolling in the sheets and sleeping together… wouldn’t that also be heavily watered down?
Le Can, thinking wildly and suddenly regretting putting his mouth to use, didn’t notice at all that in the shadow below him, the person he criticized as “just so-so” and “not good to kiss” slowly raised his tense jaw.
In those deep eyes looking over, emotions hot like magma rolled.
Before this, only Le Can’s lips were numb from gnawing; now his scalp also began to tingle in waves.
The burning gaze was like a beam of heated light. Even if he didn’t look down, his body instinctively felt its existence.
Kissing, no! Blocking the mouth also had a cause.
Le Can felt this couldn’t be entirely blamed on him. Getting to the bottom of it, Xi Yun was a large part of the reason.
And it was just a matter of kissing—no cheating, no harm, not violating any clause in the “Prenuptial Agreement,” legal and reasonable…
Le Can couldn’t make up any more excuses. He stiffened his neck, staring straight ahead, trying to play dead and withdraw from Xi Yun’s body to roll back into his own duvet.
But in the next second, Le Can met eyes with himself in the mirror.
On the headboard, the mirror surface revealing every detail reflected the young man’s watery eyes. Those peach-blossom eyes containing affection were watery, and the faint flush at the corners and around the eyes couldn’t be ignored even in the dim light.
Le Can was startled!
Not just because he forgot there was a mirror in the room, but more because he was scared by the person with disheveled clothes and hazy eyes.
That was a Le Can he had never seen before, completely strange.
Instantly, guilt and hesitation vanished. Suddenly realizing something seemed wrong, Le Can instantly straightened his back, planning to escape.
His toes, lightly touching the bed surface, tensed up, arches curving into beautiful crescent shapes, waiting only for the final push so Le Can, with half his body suspended, could return to his side of the bed.
The first half went smoothly.
The action of pushing off was perfect; most of Le Can’s body detached from Xi Yun. His right hand, from palm to forearm, even touched the soft bedding piled together.
Just as the beautiful brows containing uneasiness were about to relax, a scorching large palm fitted onto the young man’s exquisite left ankle…
A force, not large but impossible to break free from, circled Le Can’s calf, restraining his entire body’s movement.
Then, his vision blurred, and the world spun. A high-heat body with an impossible-to-ignore presence pressed down heavily!
Le Can’s head bounced twice with the undulating mattress. His vision, already very limited in the dim room, suddenly went completely black.
Eyes blacking out, limbs firmly suppressed on the bed surface, body trembling lightly due to the oppression brought by the massive object…
Before his vision fully recovered, Le Can raised his chin in the blur, his throat rolling, “Xi Yun!”
Calling his full name as a warning.
He forgot that less than ten minutes ago, the person loosely covered underneath had just done the same thing.
“Xi Yun, I…”
His hazy eyes widened to the limit in the next second.
Under the warm light, the ceiling vaguely reflected a pair of amber pupils that suddenly contracted, then slowly lost focus…
A wet, hot tongue deprived him of the right to breathe.
Le Can’s eyes, which had just caught some light, plunged into darkness again.
The feeling was very much like hypoglycemia; all strength was extracted from the body in an instant. The customary ability to breathe was lost, hands and feet turning into a soft mess not guided by consciousness.
Due to lack of oxygen, the wide-open eyes looked silently at the void. Darkness possessed a shape like the tide, slapping against the dazed person wave after wave.
Lingering in the heart was not the uncontrollable panic one would have during hypoglycemia.
Instead, every cell in the body was trembling. The body’s perception of the outside world seemed to be forcibly enhanced ten times, a hundred times.
For example, Le Can could clearly perceive the tongue sliding into the depths of his mouth, the knuckles pressing on his wrist, the chaotic and heavy panting by his ear…
Dense electric currents shot up from the tailbone along the spine; the waist, tense from alertness, couldn’t stop going soft. Like cream slowly melting under the sun being baked, collapsing softly, snow-white and sticky…
Gradually, after perceiving the relaxation of the body under his hands.
A large hand with distinct knuckles fit perfectly onto the curve of the young man’s arched back. With just one hand, it steadily supported the person trembling lightly as if electrocuted.
Then… pressed the other party even more tightly against the person above.
Continuous heat transmitted from the point of contact; the intimate interdependence of lips and teeth turned Le Can’s brain truly into a pot of paste.
He reached out trying to push, to give himself a chance to breathe.
But his uncooperative arms were useless, unable to push away the dense kisses. Only when the man above occasionally stopped his movements could Le Can briefly draw limited oxygen.
Very limited, and this limited portion would soon be consumed again by two people together… [Scooping up the person to kiss]
In a daze, an ethereal voice came from afar.
In front of Le Can’s eyes, his thick eyelashes were already wet with tears, tangled together blocking the possibility of seeing.
He could only frown and listen carefully.
“…You said, if you want something, take it yourself.”
Le Can struggled to catch the word “want.”
“Le Can, you came to my side, what exactly do you want…”
The light voice was sometimes far, sometimes near. The young man’s frown deepened, even carrying a hint of annoyance.
This time he only heard his own name and the word “want.”
Want? Want it? No no no no!
If he could, Le Can would likely shake his head like a rattle drum.
But unfortunately, he couldn’t… now he could only feel as if all the bones and tendons in his body had been pulled out, unable to lift even a finger.
Never again dare to deliriously attempt sleeping with Xi Yun!
The plan to sleep once and run is also off, don’t come again woo woo…
T/n: Serves Le Can right. hahahahhahah
