Chapter 135 - What To Do if You’re the Villain and the Heroine Likes You

"What are you holding back for?" He Yunxiao was already on the edge of the cliff and almost lost his composure because of Du Meimei's words. He Yunxiao looked at the spring water in Du Meimei's eyes and made up his mind. He understood that he couldn't break through today, but the proactive little troublemaker Du Meimei would have to explain herself several times to him! He Yunxiao approached the troublesome lady and chuckled softly, "Have you thought about it, Yinyun?" Du Yinyun, although close to He Yunxiao, was reserved with him, with a level of intimacy only reflected in the use of a handkerchief, and there were many things she felt uncomfortable saying. Facing He Yunxiao's question, she hesitated. She didn't want to deny it, nor could she respond directly. She blushed and said, "Yinyun will follow the master's orders." He Yunxiao then said softly, "Is here okay for you?" Seeing the open courtyard and the possibility of someone coming at any moment, Du Yinyun immediately pleaded, "Master, can we go inside?" He Yunxiao chuckled, "Didn't you say you'll follow my orders?" Du Yinyun, obedient as she was, despite her reserved nature and reluctance to show vulnerability in such a open place, felt compelled to comply. Though she felt embarrassed, she said, "Yinyun obeys the master." He Yunxiao said, "I'll sit on the stool, and you sit on my lap." So, He Yunxiao sat on the round stool where Du Meimei played the zither, and Du Meimei sat on his lap, facing the guzheng. However, as Du Meimei sat on He Yunxiao's lap, she accidentally touched something hard and startled, froze in place, afraid to move. He Yunxiao embraced Du Meimei's slender waist from behind and whispered in her ear, "Will Yinyun play the zither for me?" Du Meimei naturally agreed, but the sensation of what she had touched made her feel stiff all over. Her dexterous hands were affected and a bit sluggish, unable to recover temporarily. "Master, Yinyun's not in the right state. If I make a mistake, Master, please don't mind," she said. He Yunxiao, of course, didn't mind and said, "Don't be afraid, just play as you wish." "Okay." Du Yinyun replied and, trembling, placed her hands on the familiar strings of the zither. After a brief pause, she began playing slowly, gradually picking up speed. He Yunxiao marveled at Du Meimei's musical talent. Despite saying she wasn't in the right state, her touch on the strings brought back that elegant and otherworldly state she was known for. As Du Yinyun played, she became more focused and immersed. Gradually, she seemed to forget He Yunxiao behind her, as though the courtyard of the Fan residence didn't exist. Alone within the music, her surroundings were irrelevant. Seeing Du Meimei relaxing, He Yunxiao knew he could make a move. Before acting, he focused on listening to the breaths and footsteps, making sure there was no one around the courtyard. Then, his large hand gradually moved from Du Meimei's waist to her abdomen and subsequently continued toward its destination from there. Compared to that night, Du Meimei was now properly dressed. However, with He Yunxiao's careful exploration, he quickly found the way. Initially, Du Meimei's zither music was lively, but suddenly, she quivered and stopped. He Yunxiao quickly reassured her, "What's wrong, Yinyun?" Blushing with embarrassment, Du Yinyun closed her legs tightly together, but this reaction was of no help to He Yunxiao, who had the situation in his hands. Seeing Du Meimei not playing or speaking, He Yunxiao asked with concern, "Yinyun, your face is so red, are you feeling unwell?" Biting her lip, the pleasure coursing through her body made her feel weak and her graceful posture leaned into He Yunxiao's embrace. Gasping softly, she bit her lip and said, "I'm not unwell, Master." He Yunxiao said, "Can you continue playing the zither, Yinyun?" "Yes." Du Yinyun reluctantly pulled away from her master's embrace and placed her hands back on the strings. Though she managed to play, she couldn't achieve the immersive state she desired. Her body, now in her master's hands, softened and lost the state of being one with the zither. Her zither playing gradually became disordered and agitated, and she made more basic mistakes. Amidst the chaotic zither music, Du Yinyun's slender hands plucked the strings for the last time before hanging limp. He Yunxiao, deftly retrieved a handkerchief, and repeated the previous actions amid the trembling of the zither strings. With Du Meimei's face red and her body relaxed in He Yunxiao's arms, it was clear that even though she was part of this household, it was now He Yunxiao who attended to her. He Yunxiao looked at Du Meimei's red face and kissed her cheek, saying, "My Yinyun is so beautiful." Gasping softly, Du Yinyun replied, "Only Master can see me in this embarrassing state." He Yunxiao curiously asked, "Hasn't Sister Ziruo seen you like this?" Du Meimei shook her head gently. "Sister never talks about these things. Sometimes, I try to test her, but she shows no reaction at all. I'm afraid she might not even be aware." He Yunxiao chuckled, "Then how did Yinyun know?" Blushing, Du Yinyun spoke softly, "I was taught a little when I was at the Spring Wind Pavilion by another sister." He Yunxiao became interested and asked, "What else do you know, Yinyun?" Pleading for mercy, Du Yinyun said, "Master, can Yinyun not say?" He Yunxiao's curiosity was piqued, and seeing her reluctance, he insisted, "No. Lean close to my ear and tell me quietly." As a young girl, Du Yinyun didn't want to utter such words because it would make her appear restless. However, she acquiesced to her master's command reluctantly. Therefore, reluctantly, she propped herself up in He Yunxiao's arms and whispered a few words in his ear. He Yunxiao's eyes lit up as he listened to Du Meimei's words. Well, well, the Spring Wind Pavilion taught her quite a lot! Leaving aside some unnecessary techniques, she even knew about methods that didn't breach his defense. He Yunxiao's restless heart surged even more. One arm went under her bent legs, and the other was placed on her waist. He Yunxiao said, "Yinyun, wrap your arms around my neck." Du Meimei obediently complied. He then lifted her from the stool and walked towards her room, saying, "Yinyun, do you know what it means to put theory into practice?" With a red face, Du Yinyun shrunk into her master's embrace. In a soft voice, she replied, "Yes." He Yunxiao asked again, "Are you willing?" With joy, Du Yinyun said, "As long as Master needs Yinyun, Yinyun is willing to do anything willingly." He Yunxiao said, "Don't say that. If there's anything you don't like or don't want to do, just tell me. I will always pity my precious one and won't let her do anything she dislikes." Nestled against He Yunxiao's shoulder, Du Yinyun said, "Everything belongs to Master. As long as you keep a place in your heart for Yinyun, everything is fine." Tl: Soothsayer.io
