Deadly Trap.

Chapter 73. Love

Under the cover of night, Su Li sat casually and languidly, straddling someone's back.

She was covered in a light sweat and dared not sit still, but rather resembled a noblewoman riding her bicycle freely in her own territory.

After a whole night of playing, Su Li was finally a little tired. She leaned down and snuggled against him, her fingertips slowly sliding from his chest to the long, unhealed suture on his left rib.

With her hands supporting her on either side of his body as he breathed heavily, Su Li's messy chestnut hair fell over her shoulders and back, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on her forehead.

The couple's clothes stretched from the rumpled entryway with its carpet all the way to the living room; then from the filthy living room walls, they piled up and climbed up to the half-open bedroom doorway.

Warm light streamed into the bedroom. Gu Mufeng lay down comfortably. His eyelids were slightly closed, his gaze a mixture of weariness and lingering interest, as he secretly looked up at her.

Su Li's entire existence stirred up an uncontrollable deep love in him.

By nature, he did indeed prefer control, and wanted to keep pressing her onto this big bed, just like he had pressed her against the curtain wall, and brand her with his usual passion, like wildfire.

But at this moment, he gritted his teeth and endured, almost desperately suppressing his desire to turn over and pin her down.

Suddenly, Su Li chuckled softly, leaning close to his ear, her touch as gentle as a pear blossom stirring spring water:

"This is the third time... Mu Fei, do you miss me that much?"

Gu Mufeng took a deep breath:

"...Want to hear the truth from me?"

Su Li smiled again, her eyes full of provocation, gentle yet unrestrained:
"Otherwise what? I've never seen you indulge in such things before, yet you're so greedy tonight. I'm starting to feel sorry for you, afraid your wound will reopen..."

With a slight shift in his gaze, Gu Mufeng's thumb kneaded her soft lips, which seemed to know how to tease him:
"...You use me at will...and then you say I'm greedy?"

Su Li grew increasingly smug, her eyes brimming with seductive confidence:

"Who told you to be so irresistible every time I flirt with you, Mu Fei?"

Su Li smiled brightly. She whispered in his ear, deliberately using her breath to murmur:
"You know perfectly well that I enjoy seeing the unbridled side beneath your icy exterior, yet you can't bear to truly hurt me..."

This woman——

She was absolutely right.

His lips, which were always cold and aloof, now held a gentle, appreciative smile; his handsome, aloof phoenix eyes, like those of a Buddha, were unable to resist his overwhelming affection and desire for her.

Immediately after, he grabbed Su Li's waist, pulled her over, and rolled her to the side. "Hiss—", disregarding her injuries, Gu Mufeng could no longer restrain himself and pinned her down.

His touch was almost brutal, yet he was afraid of causing her even the slightest pain. His calloused fingers dug deep into her soft skin, greedily yet gently stopping at the very edge of her comfort—

He could have done more, been even more ruthless, inflicting excruciating pain upon her—but instead—

In a low voice, he gently sought her opinion in her ear, his breath rippling in her ears:
"I won't be polite anymore..."

Her soft, uttered "Mmm" of permission had barely left her lips when Gu Mufeng completely abandoned his previous restraint. Swiftly, he pulled her hands over, pressed them down, and imprisoned them above her head. The next second, he uncontrollably kissed them, their intimacy reaching its peak.

"Hiss...! Ugh—!!"

She immediately realized she had completely messed up. She shouldn't have thought that because Gu Mufeng was injured, he could do whatever he wanted to her, and kept provoking him back and forth.

Her shoulder blades were tightly wrapped in the silk sheets. With no time to react, Su Li could only shrink back and tremble, facing Gu Mufeng's completely unleashed fiery nature.

The waves crash against the shore, churning up thousands of piles of snow—

Gu Mufeng promised her that as long as she gave the order, he would show no mercy and would be her only subject for the rest of his life.

Even if she mumbled incoherently, her love lingering, and uttered a thousand ambiguous "Mu Fei, please"s to him, it wouldn't work.

Seeing her so relaxed and carefree, Gu Mufeng gritted his teeth and laughed:
Su Li… this siren, this Helen, is only comparable to Bao Si and Daji…

Ironically, he was willing to support Yulong and die for his lord.

--until--

She held his heart captive with her breath, like a soul bond destined to be inseparable, only growing more and more reluctant to part.

Despite her repeated requests for him to "let it go"—

He was so easily manipulated by her! She had driven him to the brink of madness!
With his lingering wounds, Gu Mufeng finally reached the edge of his sanity. Impatiently, he abruptly lifted his chin, which Su Li had been caressing—if he allowed her to continue teasing him now, he would truly be like a moth drawn to a flame.

"Mu Fei..."

Disorganized, Su Li called his name. She insisted on touching his forehead to hers. This woman—

At this moment, Su Li was like a river. Looking up, she completely exposed her vulnerable neck to Gu Mufeng.

Without hesitation, he reached out his hand.

His five fingers moved slowly but precisely to her delicate throat...

She looked at him with love, offering no resistance whatsoever.

Reason nearly veered off course. He lowered his head, his fingers loosening, and Gu Mufeng lunged forward, kissing her throat fiercely. Gritting his teeth, he gasped for breath.

"...Su Li, do you know...you're driving me crazy—!"

The next second, he pulled her tightly into his arms:
"You said it yourself..."

With each breath he uttered, completely out of control, came an almost obsessive, yearning response to her:

"...Remember my insolence towards you—remember, how I treated you—"

Su Li was speechless.

After a long while... she was finally able to utter his name:
"Mu Fei! My...Mu Mu..."

His breathing was rapid and heavy, trembling with extreme intensity. He entered her heart with his entirety. He offered her his true heart as tribute.

Out of control, Gu Mufeng frantically snatched Su Li's parted lips—

His body gradually relaxed. But all night, Gu Mufeng didn't want to leave Su Li's warm embrace. His golden hair was disheveled, tender yet weary. He buried his head deeply in the crook of her neck, quietly listening to her heartbeat, which was also slowly recovering and calming down.

Gently, drowsily, Su Li caressed and played with his hair. Her fingers lightly darted and intertwined, seemingly casually, as if time could flow away forever under the caress of her fingertips…

Holding her tightly, unwilling to let go for even a moment, Gu Mufei gradually closed his eyes. Quietly, he sank into a peace and tranquility he had never experienced before.

at last……

The city night, power, money—this vast and complex world…it all seems to have lost its importance. Standing atop their respective peaks, they have already surveyed the city's nightscape:
Having each other is enough for them.

Every day and every night thereafter.
