After infiltrating the main characters' group, I became the most beautiful woman in the world.

He turned around.

The gauze curtains hung lightly, like smoke and mist, obscuring the slender figure on the bed.

The girl woke up at some point, or perhaps she had never been asleep in the first place.

Her black hair cascaded down like a waterfall, with only half of it loosely tied up, the rest falling along her slender shoulders. Despite her extremely delicate appearance, her features were breathtakingly beautiful. Even through a thin veil, she was more captivating than if she were fully visible.

If Lin Ci hadn't brought her back today, he would never have barged in in the middle of the night.

"You recognized me..." His voice was a little hoarse, but if you listened carefully, you could hear his uncontrollable excitement.

The boy's steps seemed to move uncontrollably, and he returned to the bedside.

He stared at the woman behind the gauze curtain with an almost greedy gaze, but made no move.

Until the woman behind the curtain gently raised her hand and then beckoned to him with her fingertips.

As if he had received permission from his master, he carefully lifted the curtain.

Then he met a pair of eyes that seemed to be filled with spring water, and with a gentle curve, they made his heart tremble.

The moment their eyes met, Yu Xinglai felt a tightness in his throat, but he could no longer move his feet even an inch.

Su Ning looked him over. He was still wearing the clothes of a servant from Red Maple Garden, but his hair was still the same as before, tied up halfway with a plain hair ribbon, with the rest of his black hair hanging down to his neck and shoulders.

As for his appearance...

Hmm, yet another new mask.

If it weren't for the sharp glint in the eyes of the person before her, Su Ning would probably have forgotten him after just one glance.

The face before me was so ordinary, with a nose that was neither high nor low, and thin lips. There was nothing sharp or striking about it; it was neither eye-catching nor arousing suspicion.

Yu Xinglai noticed that the person in front of him kept his gaze fixed on his face, and only then did he forget that he was wearing a mask.

She quickly turned her back and covered her face, saying, "Don't look at me, I forgot to take off my mask."

Since their first meeting, when she disliked him, Yu Xinglai had never shown any different face in front of Su Ning, and he rarely felt so embarrassed.

When he came tonight, he was blinded by jealousy and couldn't wait to see her. He never expected that Su Ning would ask him to stay.

Su Ning watched his back, but after a moment, when he turned around, he had returned to his familiar appearance.

He has a high nose bridge, well-defined lips, and even when he's not smiling, he exudes a youthful sharpness, especially his bright, star-like eyes.

Having gained confidence, he approached step by step and finally sat down on the edge of the bed. At that moment, his eyes were only on the girl in front of him.

The bed was very soft, and her faint fragrance wafted over, so gentle it seemed to seep into your very bones.

Even though they had already had intimate contact, sitting on the woman's bed like this still made Yu Xinglai blush.

Su Ning couldn't help but laugh at his innocent appearance. She reached out and touched his cheek, kneading it carefully as if to test its authenticity, especially the small mole at the corner of his eye.

"What are you trying to do, sneaking into Red Maple Garden?"

The girl leaned slightly forward, her voice soft yet carrying a subtle allure that made one's mind go blank.

"I want to find a chance to take you away." Without thinking, she blurted out what was on her mind.

Yu Xinglai felt dizzy, especially the soft hand that was gently stroking his cheek, which was so soft that one couldn't help but put it to their lips and caress it tenderly.

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Ning's lips curved slightly, and she placed her fingertip lightly on his lips, but it was a word of refusal: "No, I won't go with you."

Before Yu Xinglai could even feel disappointed, he saw her fingertips lightly move across his tense jaw. Then, the girl gently leaned down, her black hair falling down, and lightly stroked his cheek, carrying a soft fragrance.

The next instant, her cool, soft lips gently landed on the corner of his eye.

A very gentle kiss, fleeting and brief.

The scalding heat made the boy freeze, his eyelashes trembled violently, and his heartbeat suddenly went off-beat.

Su Ning stepped back slightly, gazing at his reddened eyes. A faint smile curved her lips, both delicate and alluring, as she softly said, "But I'm very happy."

"You spoke the truth."

Frank people deserve to be rewarded.

With a loud bang, something seemed to burst out of the ground, and the surging heat almost burned Yu Xinglai's entire body.

In a dizzying moment, Su Ning was pinned down on the bed, her black hair scattered messily on the pillow. Although she was the one who had been tackled, she still looked up at him, a seductive, triumphant smile curving her lips:

"What do you want to do?"

There was no trace of panic in her voice.

The boy who had fallen on him had a thin layer of red at the corners of his eyes, like rouge, or a vibrant color forced out by his burning emotions.

Even his breath was scalding hot, but he did not receive the consent of the woman beneath him.

He was filled with surging desires, but he suppressed them all deep in his heart. Every inch of his desires screamed, yet he restrained himself completely.

He turned his head, his ears bright red, his voice hoarse and broken: "I want..."

After saying that, as if he had thought of something, he added, "I washed it, it's very clean."

However, Su Ning did not satisfy him as easily as she had that day in Fuxian Town. She slowly raised her hand, her slender, jade-like fingertips gently brushing against the corners of his burning eyes, the touch slightly cool.

But even such a simple touch made the boy, burning with desire, breathe even more heavily.

Yu Xinglai lowered his head and, sure enough, saw a mischievous smirk in the girl's eyes.

But now he needs someone's help. As the saying goes, "He who eats another's food is bound to do his bidding," and "He who takes another's money is bound to do his bidding," a principle that has been followed throughout history.

So the girl beneath him took advantage of the situation and made her demands.

"You saw it, didn't you?"

She didn't specify what it was, but both of them understood.

"Are you referring to the Taoist priest from tonight, the wealthy young master from before, or perhaps the physician from Qingyun?"

"Looks like you know quite a bit."

Su Ning smiled, her fingertips gently caressing the reddened corners of his eyes and the increasingly lustrous little mole.

"I've found out everything," Yu Xinglai muttered.

He must have had some skills to get into Red Maple Garden, especially since Su Ning is now the darling of the entire garden.

Or rather, every servant in the entire Sword Forging Manor knew her.

He saw Lin Ci with his own eyes, and he found out about Lou Xianyue. As for Song Hengxue, he hadn't forgotten who caught her after he accidentally dropped her from the building in Qingyun City.

Not to mention that he still remembers that she glanced at Song Hengxue again that night.

Unfortunately, all the people she provoked had powerful backgrounds, making him seem rather insignificant in comparison.

Thinking of this, the usually carefree and unrestrained Flying Thief Saint began to care about worldly reputation for the first time.

With each name Yu Xinglai uttered, he grew more disheartened, and Su Ning naturally noticed the change in his emotions.

In the brief moment he was stunned, she gently pressed his waist with her cool fingertips.

Then, she involuntarily lay down on her back, and the next moment, she was firmly on top of him.

Her jet-black hair cascaded down, falling onto his neck and cheeks, its soft fragrance filling his breath. She looked down at him, "Are you unhappy?"

"Um."

Although Yu Xinglai was slightly surprised, he still acquiesced to the pose.

"But you have to get used to it. I don't want something like tonight to happen again."

Su Ning's fingertips traveled down from the corner of his lips, along his Adam's apple and chest, until the boy pressed her hand down as she continued down.

The scalding hot palms were actually damp with a thin layer of sweat.

Su Ning didn't break free, so she let him be. Looking at the person beneath her enduring, she leaned closer and said softly, "From now on, you can only come when I call you."

Yu Xinglai's patience was nearing its limit, but he still couldn't help looking at her and asking, "Is this a deal?"

But then the girl chuckled softly, a light yet alluring sound: "Of course not... this is a reward."

He could no longer restrain himself, and he rolled over and pressed down on her, his thin lips precisely locking onto the red lips he had longed for, with the impetuousness of youth.

The gauze curtains were drawn, and as they fell, they gently brushed against the shoulders of the two people, like smoke and mist, blurring the enchanting atmosphere of the room.

All that remained were her rising and falling breaths, her burning skin, and her tangled hair.

The curtains swayed gently with the movements of the person on the bed, all restraint, forbearance, and panic submerged in this soft, hazy atmosphere.

The night is still long...
