After being bought by seven rough men and taken to the deep mountains, I was pampered.

The third brother, Qin Meng, yelled, "The watermelon is possessed!" which startled the whole family.

Su Wan hurriedly followed him to the melon patch in the backyard.

Good heavens, what kind of possession is this?

These watermelon vines are clearly growing too fast and are lacking fertilizer!

The crops in this "Heartbeat Farm" are nourished by men's "heartbeat points." Second Brother just left, taking a huge wave of heartbeat energy with him; how could the melons in this field not wilt?

"Sister-in-law, what should we do? Is this melon going to die?"

Qin Meng was sweating profusely, circling around the few drooping seedlings. His muscles were taut with anxiety, and sweat streamed down his chest.

"It's nothing, I just need 'love'."

Su Wan suppressed a laugh, stretched out her finger, and gently poked Qin Meng's hard arm:

"Third brother, go fetch a few buckets of water. Your wife will help you water the plants."

"Okay! Alright!"

Upon hearing that his sister-in-law was going to help him water the plants, Qin Meng's simple-minded heart instantly exploded.

My sister-in-law poked me!

My sister-in-law needs me!

[Beep! Physical attraction detected! Heart rate +100!]

With Qin Meng's burst of enthusiasm, the previously wilted watermelon vines visibly perked up, their leaves turning a dark green, and even sprouting several small melon tips at an astonishing speed.

The crisis is over.

But after all that commotion, it was completely dark.

……

In the dead of night, the Qin family compound was completely silent.

This is the first time Su Wan has felt this way since being allocated a room—

Isn't this house too big?

Before, we were crammed into a large dormitory. Although it was crowded, there were hot men on both sides of us, and that sense of security was real.

Now, she lies alone on the empty canopy bed in the master bedroom.

The north wind howled outside the window, making the window frame creak.

Although the room was warm and cozy with underfloor heating, Su Wan, wrapped in the quilt embroidered with her name, tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.

"My second brother is gone... Why does this house suddenly feel so deserted?"

She sighed, and Qin Lie's cold, hard face and Lao Si's alluring peach blossom eyes involuntarily surfaced in her mind.

Just as she was drifting off to sleep...

【drop--!】

Before Su Wan could react to what "unknown" meant, everything went black, and her consciousness was instantly sucked in by a powerful force.

……

When I opened my eyes again.

The surrounding area was shrouded in a hazy, gray mist.

"Where is this?"

Su Wan tentatively took two steps forward.

"come over."

A deep, hoarse voice, as if suppressed for millions of years, rang out from behind.

That voice was so familiar.

It carries an irresistible sense of authority and domineering power.

Su Wan turned around abruptly.

As the mist dissipated, a man sat on a large chair covered with a black tiger skin.

He was wearing a suit of black armor, the collar of which was wide open, revealing a large expanse of his bronze-colored, scarred chest.

That face was clearly that of Qin Lie, the usually serious and stern boss who would blush even at the slightest glance!

But Qin Lie at this moment was completely different.

Those usually restrained and stoic black eyes were now bloodshot, churning with a naked greed and possessiveness that seemed to want to devour her whole.

He toyed with a bloodstained dagger in his hand, his eyes fixed on Su Wan like a wolf's.

"Big...Big Brother?"

Su Wan was startled by his appearance and instinctively tried to back away. "Why... are you looking at me like that?"

"Why are you running?"

In his dream, Qin Lie had absolutely no patience.

He sneered, dropped the dagger, and vanished in a flash.

The next second, that towering figure was already right in front of Su Wan!

"Bang!"

Su Wan's back slammed hard against a cold stone pillar.

There was no way to retreat.

Two large, burning hot hands, like branding irons, slapped against her ears, trapping her tightly in this small space.

The man's strong, pungent smell of sweat and blood enveloped the room.

"You act so well-behaved during the day... and then come to seduce me in my dreams at night?"

Qin Lie lowered his head, his nose almost touching Su Wan's.

His hot breath made Su Wan tremble all over.

"I...I didn't..." Su Wan panicked. Why was Qin Lie in this dream being so unreasonable!

"I came in by accident..."

"careless?"

Qin Lie's rough thumb pressed heavily against Su Wan's delicate lips, applying a little force until her lips became swollen and red.

"Did you accidentally wear so little clothing? Did you accidentally end up with such a face that makes you want to commit a crime?"

His gaze roamed brazenly over her thin undergarment, his eyes like hooks, as if trying to tear the fabric apart.

"Jiaojiao..."

Do you know how hard I've been enduring this?

"Seeing Fourth Brother touch your hand during the day, seeing Seventh Brother snuggle into your arms... I wish I could chop off their claws!"

He was jealous, and it was the kind of jealousy that had been building up for a long time and was almost obsessive!

"Big brother... calm down..."

Su Wan was terrified by the madness in his eyes and burst into tears, begging for mercy, "This is a dream...it's fake..."

"Fake?"

Qin Lie's eyes darkened, and he suddenly grabbed the back of her head and kissed her fiercely!

"Ugh—!"

This wasn't a kiss at all.

It's plunder! It's venting! It's the tearing apart of wild beasts!

His lips were dry and rough, covered in stubble, which rubbed against Su Wan's skin and made it sting.

His tongue forcefully pried open her teeth, venturing deep inside and sweeping away every inch of sweetness in her mouth.

Domineering, ruthless, and leaving no room for compromise.

"Sizzle—"

The clothes in my dream were exceptionally fragile.

Qin Lie's large hand roamed along her waistline, his palm burning hot as if it were on fire.

Wherever she went, Su Wan felt as if her skin was on fire.

"Call me husband."

He breathed heavily, releasing his swollen, red lips from the kiss, and bit down on Su Wan's sensitive earlobe, his voice hoarse like sandpaper:

"Don't call me 'elder brother'... call me 'husband'."

"In my dream...you are mine."

"It can only be mine!"

Su Wan's legs went weak from his kisses, and she clung to him, only able to sob helplessly.

"Husband...husband...be gentle..."

That soft, sweet "husband" is simply the best aphrodisiac.

Qin Lie shuddered, his arms tightening suddenly, as if he wanted to crush her into his very bones.

"Jiaojiao... Jiaojiao..."

He buried his face in the crook of her neck, inhaling her scent with an almost obsessive intensity, his voice carrying a hint of heart-wrenching vulnerability:

"Don't leave me...don't go with them..."

……

"ah--!"

Su Wan screamed and sat up abruptly in bed.

As dawn broke, the sunlight streamed in through the windowpane, somewhat dazzling.

Su Wan was panting heavily, her whole body drenched in cold sweat.

She subconsciously touched her lips.

It's swollen.

It's still a little numb.

That dream...it felt so real!

That seemingly serious and domineering older brother actually has such a wild side deep down?!

So insecure?!

"Phew...that was terrifying."

Su Wan patted her burning cheeks, threw off the covers, and got out of bed.

No matter what, life goes on.

She quickly washed up and went out into the yard.

I had just stepped out the door.

Then I saw a tall figure standing by the well.

On a cold winter morning, the wind was biting.

Qin Lie, shirtless, was carrying a bucket of freshly drawn well water and pouring it over his head!

"Splash—"

The icy well water rolled down his strong muscles, sending up bursts of white, chilly air.

Water droplets traced his bulging pectoral muscles, flowed over his defined V-line, and finally disappeared into his soaked waistband.

"Big...Big Brother?"

As Su Wan looked at the scene, the indescribable images from her dream flashed through her mind, and her face flushed bright red.

Qin Lie froze upon hearing the sound.

He slowly turned around.

That usually cold and hard face now showed a rare hint of... panic?

Even his bronze skin had a suspicious blush.

His gaze was unfocused, and he dared not look Su Wan in the eye.

"Cough... up so early?"

Qin Lie hastily wiped the water off his face, his voice a little strained, "I...I'm not cold. I just...got hot from practicing, so I took a shower."

Hot? Su Wan glanced at the icy water stains on the ground.

Brother, that's a really lame excuse.

She blinked, then suddenly, with a mischievous glint in her eye, stepped forward, pulled out a handkerchief, and stood on tiptoe to wipe the water droplets from his back.

"Brother, even though you're healthy, rinsing like this can still make you sick. Shall I wipe you down?"

My fingertips just touched his cold but taut back muscles.

Qin Lie was as if he had been electrocuted, and he took a step back, almost crashing into the well platform.

"No...no need!"

He grabbed his clothes from the ground and haphazardly put them on, as if fleeing from some raging flood or ferocious beast, his voice terribly hoarse:

"Um... Third Brother is calling me from the fields! I'm off!"

After saying this, General Qin, who was usually unfazed even when Mount Tai collapsed in front of him, actually ran away with his hands and feet moving in unison!

They fled in panic!

Su Wan stood there, watching his disheveled back, and finally couldn't help but burst out laughing, bending over with laughter.

It seems...

She wasn't the only one who dreamed last night.

That's it, the big brother's "decent person" facade has been completely exposed!

[Beep! Strong "repressed" attraction detected!]
