CHAPTER 62: LONG STIRRING NIGHT

Lin Xuan Qi’s movements pulled Xue Cong and Yue Jie towards him.

Their faces were now brushed against his.

They gasped and looked at him, not knowing what to do.

It was the closest they had been with him; they were able to see his handsome features for once.

Most of the time they were only able to look at him from a distance, and he was usually busy, either giving out instructions or in deep thought.

This moment of respite from all the busyness of life with him wasn’t that bad, they thought.

And besides that, now that they were able to observe up close, he was much better looking than they had remembered him to be.

He felt the softness on him, and a grin appeared on his face.

Xue Cong and Yue Jie lifted their heads and glanced at each other through his face.

They gave each other a weird look.

Their hearts were racing fast, and their faces were flushed earlier on.

But now, they could feel their bosoms perk up, and their senses were now increasing.

They could feel the sensation when their nipples brushed against their clothes.

Xue Cong and Yue Jie couldn’t help but give out a soft sigh as they tried to figure out what was happening and stop the thoughts that were racing in their minds.

They felt an urge down below that they had never known they were capable of.

And when the warmth of Lin Xuan Qi’s body with his metabolism working hard to clear the effects of alcohol reached their privates, they felt a rush of ecstasy rushing up to their heads from there.

Both took a deep breath and held it in.

They didn’t know what to do next.

Thoughts about doing the deed came into their minds.

But how should they reply if Lin Xuan Qi asked?

Xue Cong’s mind swayed from ’no’ to ’yes’ and then back again.

Not that she wouldn’t want to do so with Lin Xuan Qi, who had given her a new life, it was that... she didn’t know how it was done.

There was no such education for poor girls until they were married, and their mothers would only teach them the night before.

She was both happy and sad at the thought.

Happy that she might have an excuse if Lin Xuan Qi asked, and she was sad that she might have an excuse.

Yue Jie had different thoughts going through her mind.

She had seen the booklets with pictures on how to do it with her friends from rich merchants and clans.

However, all that she could think of now was... how to do it with three people.

It would be so embarrassing, she thought.

They glanced at Lin Xuan Qi, who was now half asleep with his eyes closed.

Their anxiety vanished when they saw the culprit making them anxious with unsavory thoughts get to be happily in his sleep.

Thankfully, Lin Xuan Qi gave out a yawn and stretched his arms, giving them a brief moment to escape from his clutches.

They got up and wanted to run out of the room.

When Xue Cong and Yue Jie saw that he was sleeping without his blanket, they stopped.

He would catch a cold on the cold night if he slept without it.

They picked up his blanket on the side of the bed and covered him with it before they left.

Along the way back to their quarters, they kept quiet and didn’t speak to each other.

There was so much for them to process.

When Xue Cong got back to her room, she sat down on her bed and held her hands to her chest.

Her heart was still thumping hard.

She blushed as a thought came into her mind.

After she glanced around and saw that there was no one around, she moved her hands sideways and caressed her breast.

It was a wonder to her that it would perk up when stimulated.

She stopped when she felt pleasure, and she threw her head into her blanket.

"What are you doing," Xue Cong said to herself.

She must keep herself pure for the right man, she thought.

Yue Jie didn’t fare any better.

When she got back into her room, Yue Xin was still awake waiting for her.

"Sister, is anything wrong with you? Are you sick?" Yue Xin was worried when she saw Yue Jie’s face flushed.

She recalled that Yue Jie didn’t drink earlier; only Lin Xuan Qi, Lee He Song and Liu Shi Shi did so.

They still knew their places even though Lin Xuan Qi was kind to them.

Yue Xin reached out and used the back of her hand to place it on Yue Jie’s forehead, trying to see if Yue Jie was having a fever.

"I’m fine," Yue Jie said, trying to get Yue Xin’s hand off her forehead.

"But you are running hot," Yue Xin frowned as her sister’s forehead felt hot to the touch.

Yue Jie held onto her wrist and pulled Yue Xin’s hand down.

She assured Yue Xin again and said, "It’s fine. It’s just the walking to and fro that’s making me feel hot."

"If you say so. I will let Master Lin know if you aren’t feeling well in the morning," Yue Xin nodded and said.

Yue Jie got onto her bed and lay down.

She closed her eyes and tried to fall asleep.

It was no use.

Imageries appeared in her mind about what happened earlier.

Her imagination went wild with what she had seen in those booklets.

She shook her head and said to herself, "Nothing happened, stop thinking about it."

It, in fact, made it worse for her.

Her focus was back to it again.

Yue Jie sat up on her bed and saw that Yue Xin was already fast asleep.

She got up and went to fetch a pail of water.

After she pulled the pail out of the well, she splashed some cool water onto her face.

It felt refreshing instantly.

The night was cool with the breeze blowing; insects chirping filled the air.

The monotonous rhythm went on as if nothing had happened in the long and quiet night.
