Time Travel: I'm a Flower Thief

Murong Shishi was stunned, her eyes wide, and she stammered, "You...how will you help me?"

Xie Xiaoyi didn't answer, but slowly moved closer to her, sat down next to her, and stared straight into her eyes without looking away.

Murong Shishi felt her heart burning under his gaze; his eyes were so handsome that even the roots of her ears turned hot with embarrassment.

"Shishi, close your eyes!"

Murong Shishi didn't know what he was going to do, but he was so close to her; this was the first time she had ever been so intimate with a man.

But he was so handsome that she lost all desire to resist and obediently closed her eyes.

The next second, a hand appeared around her waist, gently pulling her towards him, followed by a warm touch on his lips.

"Ugh—"

Murong Shishi's eyes widened suddenly, her mind going blank for a moment. This was her first kiss, and it was gone just like that.

I felt that warmth on my lips, like an electric current coursing through my body, a tingling, numb sensation that gave rise to an indescribable feeling of comfort.

She froze, forgetting to react, letting the soft touch linger on her lips, until Xie Xiaoyi's hand began its "Rasengan" again.

She suddenly realized what was happening and hurriedly raised her hand to push against his chest, struggling backward and crossing her arms to protect her chest.

"What...what are you doing!"

"I...I want to help you!"

Murong Shishi's cheeks burned, and she bit her lip, glaring at him: "What kind of help is this! You're being ridiculous!"

We've only known each other for less than a day... no, half a day. How dare you be so bold? I'm a married woman.

Xie Xiaoyi suddenly reached out and pinched her chin, forcing her to meet his gaze.

"You may have a husband, but have you ever truly become a wife?"

"That...that won't work either!"

Murong Shishi was both ashamed and anxious. She suddenly turned her head sharply, broke free from his hand that was pinching her chin, and stood up and walked out without caring about anything else.

She was a woman who was afraid of the dark, but at this moment she was filled with panic and shame, and she no longer cared about being afraid. She only wanted to escape from here.

But after staggering a few steps, he felt an inexplicable suction force pull him up, and he was uncontrollably thrown backward.

She crashed straight into Xie Xiaoyi's open arms, her back pressed tightly against his chest, leaving her no room to struggle.

Xie Xiaoyi used the Azure Dragon Absorbing Water technique to pull her over, then wrapped his arm around her waist, holding her completely in his arms without saying a word.

Murong Shishi was both anxious and ashamed, struggling with her hands and feet, but his embrace was like an iron hoop, and she couldn't break free at all.

The only sound in the mountains was the crackling of the campfire. Xie Xiaoyi didn't say anything, just held on tightly, knowing he had plenty of time to wait.

Sure enough, after a while, Murong Shishi was exhausted. She leaned limply against him and said helplessly:

"What...what do you want to do?"

Xie Xiaoyi smiled and, with a slight exertion of his arm, turned her body around, pulling her face to face in his arms.

His embrace still held her captive; her nose bumped against his chest first, and then she smelled a clean, yet slightly smoky, masculine scent—

Murong Shishi paused, this... is this what women call "masculinity"?

It smells really good!

Pooh!

It smells awful, it smells awful!

I'm not a woman who does things casually.

Xie Xiaoyi had no idea about the chaotic thoughts in her mind. Seeing that she didn't move, he covered her lips with his again.

This kiss was deeper and more intense than before, carrying an irresistible sense of possession.

Murong Shishi instinctively raised her hand to push him away, but the moment her hand touched his chest, the warm touch and strong heartbeat...

And that damned masculine scent inexplicably drained all her strength.

Previously suppressed, unfamiliar feelings surged up, the most primal stirrings between a man and a woman, making her panic and causing her to gradually stop struggling.

Just as she was stiffening and letting Xie Xiaoyi kiss her, he suddenly lowered his head and gently bit her earlobe.

The sensation was both light and tingling, like an electric current suddenly coursing through her body. Murong Shishi shuddered, feeling as if a switch that had never been touched before had been abruptly flipped.

Years of pent-up grievances and emptiness, along with an uncontrollable surge of emotion, all rushed to the surface at once.

She stopped resisting and instead instinctively raised her hand to gently embrace Xie Xiaoyi's waist, actively responding to his kiss...

The campfire crackled, and the two shadows overlapped on the ground.

Murong Shishi tightened her grip on Xie Xiaoyi's waist, clutching his collar tightly—

She had never been so reckless in her life, throwing all rules and status to the back of her mind, wanting only to follow her heart.

Xie Xiaoyi sensed her change and even moved closer to her, loosening his grip on her waist a little, but still supporting the back of her neck to prevent her from retreating.

Murong Shishi was in a daze, her body weak, and she pressed herself against him, her breath mingling with his.

Um--

It's about time!

Murong Shishi, come into my bowl!

Xie Xiaoyi nodded secretly, and slowly moved one hand up Murong Shishi's waist, hooking his fingertips around the waist tie and gently tugging at it.

The slight tug brought Murong Shishi back to her senses, and she grabbed his wrist.

"No...don't touch me!" She looked up at Xie Xiaoyi, her lips trembling. "Is...is this considered having an affair? If we get caught, I'll be drowned in a pig cage!"

Xie Xiaoyi was now completely unable to resist, his forehead pressed against hers, his eyes wild, his voice deep and domineering:

"Who dares? I'll hold the sky up for you if it falls!"

Right now, in this desolate wilderness, there's not a soul in sight except for the two of us. The sky is our blanket, the earth our bed—this is exactly what our hearts desire.

Do you and Su Muqing have feelings for each other? If there are no feelings, why would we steal words?

"But...but..."

"No buts! In my hometown, if one spouse is not intimate with the other for a long time, either spouse can file for divorce on that grounds, and the law allows it!"

"Where is your hometown...? The law is truly thorough and reasonable!"

Xie Xiaoyi lowered his head and nuzzled her nose: "It's very, very far away, so far that I may never be able to go back in my lifetime..."

Murong Shishi caught sight of the desolation in his eyes, seeing him as a homeless child, and her heart softened instantly.

All her previous worries vanished. She grabbed his collar, pulled him close, and kissed him passionately.

Figured out?

Xie Xiaoyi's lips curled slightly. He grabbed her waist, turned her around, and pressed her against the stone surface. His fingertips gently loosened her silk robe, and his kisses fell quickly and deeply.

A sudden mountain wind arose, causing the treetops to sway violently and relentlessly...
