Aromatic Flesh

Gu MingYue’s night was peaceful, which was a rare commodity.

She hugged her knees close to her chest and sat alone by the lake, looking up at the bright moon.

“Bright moon, bright moon, bright moon¹. Alas, it is almost full yet still lacking. Just like the young couple in their bridal chamber, briefly meeting and then parting soon after… The clear light still remains a thousand miles away, but the night is everlasting, and I’m weary of being separated from loved ones.”

The woman, whose figure appeared extremely desolate and lonely, softly recited these lines before standing up and stretching lazily. The surroundings fell into absolute silence, with no sound of insects chirping, yet she had no sleepiness whatsoever at this moment.

She blamed the excessive nap she had in the afternoon, causing her to be unable to fall asleep at night. When this happened, one’s mind would start wandering and getting influenced by the surrounding scenery, unexpectedly giving rise to some melancholic thoughts on this moonlit night.

Gu MingYue patted her cheeks to wake herself up, before untying her garments and placing them on the ground by the lake. Step by step, she slowly entered the water until her entire face was submerged in the icy, refreshing lake water.

Gu MingYue closed her eyes and immersed herself in the serene ambience of the dusk. She emptied her mind, and her ink-black hair, resembling water plants, gently swirled and drifted around her face. Her flawless, jade-white body curled up slowly in the water, resembling a baby still connected to its mother’s womb while allowing the gentle flow of water to wash over every corner of her body, creating light ripples.

The body’s demand for oxygen seemed surprisingly minimal. And perhaps it was because Gu MingYue had stayed in the water for too long, or perhaps the lake water isolated the propagation of sound, but she suddenly sensed an intense fluctuation in the water around her, and soon after, her arm was suddenly grasped by a powerful hand, followed by her waist being looped into a hug. Almost instantly, her tender and soft body was lifted out of the water.

Facing away from the moonlit night sky, his hair glistened with dripping water. His soaked clothes clung tightly to his agile and upright figure while the silver-white radiance of the moon cast a hazy glow over his profile, and in the backlight, his sharp brows hung over his deep and vast starry eyes. His high nose was tinged with a slight redness from the icy water, and his attractive thin lips were tightly pressed together. His countenance was handsome yet cold, exuding a chilling aura throughout his entire being.

“Do you want to die?” The man’s voice was also cold, and his words seemed to freeze in the air as he spoke.

“Huh?” Gu MingYue blinked her eyes in confusion. She simply wanted to clear her mind and relax by herself, how had he come to the conclusion that she wanted to take her own life?

Jing Yao gripped her face with one hand and tightened his other arm around her waist, bringing their bodies into close contact. One body was scorching and burning, while the other felt cool and devoid of warmth.

“Can’t bear the inability to refuse a man’s lascivious body, that’s why you wished to die?” The man’s lower body was completely calm, showing no signs of engorgement or arousal.

His words sent Gu MingYue into a rage. Did this wretched man have to look at her with such disdain every time? And what kind of logic was this? Did he think all women should be virtuous and chaste? And if a woman had multiple partners, she should be ashamed and desire death in the quiet of the night, overwhelmed by sudden moral guilt? Sorry, but she was already dead. Whether it was in her original world or this world, she had long been dead to the core.

She reached out suddenly and pinched the man’s soft root with her hands through his soaked pants, and under his unprepared expression, she smiled coquettishly: “I have never thought that I am a lewd person, but hey, you seem a little hard~”

Jing Yao instantly knew that he had guessed her intentions wrongly, and with his fragile penis pinched by the woman in such a way, it was gradually getting congested and growing vigorously. He quickly pushed the woman away in embarrassment.

He wanted to humiliate her, but it seemed like it had backfired, and he was molested by her instead.

Gu MingYue was pushed back into the water by Jing Yao, and unlike the taller man, her feet couldn’t touch the lakebed, so she was instantly engulfed by the water. She couldn’t be bothered by what the man was thinking, so she reverted to her original position and relaxed into meditation.

The water was comfortable, and the night was serene. She had no intention to have her peace destroyed by the annoying man with homosexual tendencies.

There was nothing wrong with being gay or having any other sexual orientation, but unfortunately, Gu MingYue was determined to bed Jing Yao. Anything that stood in the way of the completion of her mission was annoying and needed to be eliminated, so, any seemingly positive gay attributes had to be removed. If not, she would personally and forcefully correct his sexual orientation, well, at least until her mission is over.

Anyway, in the original plot, it was not like Jing Yao had fallen in love with Xi Wei which led to an entire series of encounters driven by mutual attraction. What started as a one-time lustful activity quickly had to be an intoxication of physical allure, as well as the sense of achievement in competing with others. The corners of Gu MingYue’s lips curved upwards in the water. Jing Yao… You’re far from the noble and righteous person you imagine yourself to be. Quite amusing, really…

Tsk. Typical masculinity complex smh.

Enjoy~
