Chapter 82: Sharing the Same Room, Innate Sense of Seduction
Naturally, staying behind required some justification. Consequently, the poor old master was hauled forth as an excuse again.
Long Heng told others that he was too worried about the old master and still felt it was better to return and take a look at the old master. The fact that the old master wasn’t fond of Long Heng at all was smoothly glossed over as he made his explanations.
In the past, the old master had never thought favorably of generals, believing them to be crude and ignorant. That Long family’s youngster had actually appeared to have some learning and talent, but his way of solving problems since his youth had always been crude, employing force to achieve results. To think that such a person had been arranged for the cute, little girl next to him—the old grandfather started to feel some beginnings of pity when his thoughts travelled here.
Bai Xiangxiu relaxed and let out a sigh. As long as the old master could persevere, his health should improve some. Afterwards, she mentioned a few plants that would be good to place indoors. The old master had some servants record it all.
The two separated to go take a bath. Bai Xiangxiu ended up coming out a little later because she was nervous. She could tell with a single look that Long Heng’s hair had already been dried by the servants. He had taken up a seat on the side with a book in hand. He had helped her out a lot today, and Bai Xiangxiu felt that she should properly express her thanks.
Only, he was afraid that leaving copper would invoke laughter from others. Long Heng was a man and it wouldn’t affect him, but Bai Xiangxiu still had to go about her business.
Truth be told, she was merely a concubine and didn’t need any sort of face. But, she was helping out the manor in its affairs, and she’d brought honor to their family with her doings in the Song household. If she was looked down upon by other people, they would inevitably end up pointing their fingers at her behind her back afterwards whenever she worked.
As anxious as he felt, it wouldn’t hurt to wait another evening. However, could she not be this alluring?
Especially as he only wanted to peacefully go to sleep. But she was being awkward, and her thoughts were written all over her face. She was obviously thinking that he would do something towards her, wearing an expression of both fear and shyness. Could it be that she didn’t know it to be almost blatant seduction? Long Heng didn’t dare look at her anymore, fearing that he wouldn’t be able to restrain himself from doing something bad.
Bai Xiangxiu was conflicted for what seemed like half a day until Long Heng finally said a single sentence, “Douse the lights and go to sleep.”
What, we’re going to go to sleep just like this? But how could this be possible? His eyes had definitely been filled with fiery predatory desire, and he’d left her trembling for half a day with just a single glance. It couldn’t be that they would be doing it after turning off the lights, right?
Bai Xiangxiu crawled onto the bed, her body trembling as she lay down. She sighed over her miserable fate. She hadn’t even had time to fall in love after transmigration before being forced into rolling around in the bed sheets. But after taking another look at Long Heng’s wide back, she comforted herself with the thought that he was actually a responsible man. Perhaps after sleeping together he would treat her a bit differently and show her some consideration.
Even after the female lead entered the household, as long as Bai Xiangxiu didn’t court death with her actions, then it was unlikely that she would die! After all, the previous supporting Bai Xiangxiu had felt that it was very unfair that although she was more beautiful than the female lead, the male lead hadn’t showed her the slightest bit of favor.
Following that, she had scampered to and fro in front of the male lead, devising all kinds of ways to invite him to sleep with her, almost begging to be under his body. She’d even drugged the male lead, drugged the female lead, and drugged herself.
In the end, the halo of the main characters allowed the male and female leads to preserve their virginity, and she’d ended up being oppressed into an ugly mess. Finally, she became a stepping stone to further the affections of the male and female lead, and when she was no longer useful, she was ruthlessly sentenced to death.
That the ending was so tragic had much to do with her idiotic behavior. Therefore, as long as she held onto her original intentions and didn’t have any improper thoughts toward the male lead, she should be able to save her life without any problems.
Whatever, wasn’t it just sleeping with him!
The other was already an extremely amazing man to begin with, one couldn’t pick out a single flaw whether in appearance or his “ability”. In modern times, this sort of man would’ve been a big celebrity or a chairman of some major company. She wouldn’t suffer any losses from sleeping with him. She lay on the bed with an audible sound, clenching the bed sheets tightly with a heroic expression, as if she was ready to die for a righteous cause.
