Mu Fu’s cheeks turned a soft pink. She gave him a shy look, bit her lip gently, then turned her head and nodded without looking at him directly.
Yu Mo’s heart pounded. He swallowed hard, a mix of excitement, thrill, and nerves hitting him all at once.
He leaned down and kissed her neck so hard that Mu Fu flinched a little from the sting. There was probably a mark now. She frowned, pushing gently on his chest with a hint of annoyance. “Be careful,” she warned. “Don’t leave any obvious marks.”
That seemed to snap him out of his daze a bit.
“Mm. I won’t,” he rasped, his voice rough and deeper than usual.
In one quick move, he pulled off his clothes, showing his lean, pale body.
“A-Fu… A-Fu…” Yu Mo whispered her name over and over, like a chant, almost out of his mind.
Mu Fu felt like she was melting, her body sinking into warmth, like she was back in a soothing hot spring. Every part of her turned soft and relaxed. Soon, the living room filled with the sounds of a woman’s soft moans and a man’s low growls.
Time passed. Eventually, silence returned.
Yu Mo held Mu Fu close, looking at her with pure tenderness. They were curled up on the small, cramped sofa. Mu Fu’s leg lay lazily over his. She had noticed before that Yu Mo hardly had any hair on his arms and legs, and now she could finally touch him without feeling shy. His skin was so smooth; it was addictive—she couldn’t help but run her toes over him a few more times.
Yu Mo shivered and caught her playful foot firmly. “A-Fu…” Just as his desire had started to calm down, she sparked it again. He’d held back earlier, remembering it was her first time—but seeing how much energy she still had, he thought they could go another round.
His lips found her neck again, his favorite spot. He kissed her there softly, nibbling like a little chick pecking grain—gentle and loving. “A-Fu, let’s go one more time,” he whispered, pleading.
With Yu Mo acting like an eager puppy, Mu Fu didn’t stand a chance. In a soft, sweet voice, she whispered, “Not here… It’s kind of cold.”
Yu Mo’s arms suddenly tightened around her and lifted her right off the sofa. Mu Fu gasped at the sudden lift and quickly wrapped her arms around his neck. She frowned slightly. “You scared me. You could’ve said something.”
Yu Mo’s eyes were dark with desire, but his face stayed calm. His muscles flexed as he carried her quickly toward the bedroom. In no time, he pulled back the soft silk duvet and gently laid her on the bed. The black mattress dipped slightly, creating faint wrinkles in the otherwise perfect sheets.
The contrast of black and white was striking, a truly captivating sight.
Yu Mo was breathing heavily, his chest moving up and down fast as he stared intently at Mu Fu on the bed.
Before Mu Fu could even react, he was on her, smooth and quick. His face, usually so calm, was flushed and hot. The corners of his eyes were red, and he pressed his lips hungrily onto hers, showering her face with slow, lingering kisses full of longing.
Mu Fu raised an eyebrow. Her lips curved into a teasing smile, her eyes sparkling with an irresistible charm. She’d never seen Yu Mo this desperate before. It was clear that experiencing something once was totally different from never having had it at all.
The bedroom light flickered on and off, again and again, before finally going dark.
By the time it was all over, Mu Fu’s whole body ached with exhaustion. She eventually fell asleep, completely worn out and boneless.
When she woke up, the room was dim. Only the last rays of the setting sun glowed faintly from outside. Feeling sore all over, Mu Fu sighed to herself. Too much of a good thing wasn’t always good. She decided she would eat vegetarian for the next few days.
Yu Mo stirred beside her not long after she woke up. Seeing that night had fallen, he reached out to turn on the light. Then, with the remote in hand, he drew the curtains shut. The windows in his home were made of one-way glass—during the day, no one outside could see in, but at night, with the lights on, the inside became fully visible to the outside world. Neither of them had a single piece of clothing on under the covers. Yu Mo couldn’t stand the thought of anyone seeing even the tiniest glimpse of Mu Fu.
Once everything was secure, he leaned down and kissed the woman in his arms.
“Did you sleep well?”
“Mm.”
“Are you feeling okay anywhere?” Yu Mo asked, feeling a pang of guilt. He silently cursed his own lack of control. In front of Mu Fu, the self-control he’d once been so proud of had completely fallen apart. That kind of all-consuming pleasure… it was addicting. It had been fine when he’d never tasted it before. But now that he had—giving it up felt impossible. He couldn’t.
“My whole body hurts. It’s all your fault. I told you to stop, but you just kept going,” Mu Fu said, her cheeks flushed as she bit down softly on her lip.
Honestly, it hadn’t been unbearable. She could have put up with it if she had to. But of course, she wasn’t about to say that out loud. Yu Mo had scared her a little with how intense he’d been. Her body—experiencing this kind of “meat” for the first time in this world—simply couldn’t keep up. She needed time to recover.
Yu Mo looked genuinely sorry as he kissed her cheek and whispered, “A-Fu, I’m sorry. I’ll be more careful next time.”
Yeah, right. Mu Fu didn’t buy that sweet lie for a second.
“I’ll run to the pharmacy and grab some ointment. Wait for me, okay?” His eyes held an almost reluctant tenderness.
Mu Fu nodded. “Okay.”
Mu Fu lay sprawled out on the bed, her eyes half-closed, watching Yu Mo get dressed.
Yu Mo looked at her, taking in her relaxed charm. The sight made something inside him stir—he wanted to melt her into him, keep her by his side forever. That way, no one could ever touch her or even look at her again.
“A-Fu, stop teasing me,” he said with a low chuckle. “I swear I still have the energy for one more round.”
Mu Fu’s soft, sweet voice came from the bed. “A-Mo, I’m still sore…”
Just like that, her words hit him like a splash of cold water, instantly putting out his fiery thoughts.
Yu Mo quickly left to buy ointment from a nearby pharmacy. When he came back and opened the bedroom door, Mu Fu was still lying in the same spot, but now her eyes were closed. He looked at the small figure curled up on the bed, his eyes full of warmth and affection.
Not wanting to wake her, Yu Mo turned on the flashlight on his phone and gently lifted a corner of the blanket. Mu Fu, still half-asleep, felt a sudden wave of cool relief wash over her sore body. The discomfort eased just a little.
Later, the delicious smell of food woke her up. Just then, Yu Mo came in. “You’re awake? Perfect timing—dinner’s ready.”
Mu Fu sat up with the blanket still wrapped around her, blinking her sleepy eyes. “Why didn’t you wake me? Now I probably won’t be able to sleep tonight.”
Yu Mo couldn’t help but sit down next to her, pulling her into his arms. “Don’t worry. I’ll stay up with you.”
“Are we pulling an all-nighter together now?” Mu Fu giggled. They leaned close to each other, sweet and cozy, like a couple deep in love. Even their most everyday conversations felt special.
“Yeah,” he replied coolly from above.
Mu Fu looked up and lightly tapped his lips with her fingers. Yu Mo glanced down at her delicate hand, then opened his mouth and easily took her finger between his lips. A soft, wet warmth wrapped around her fingertip. Her finger played with his tongue for a moment, and when she pulled away, a thin string of silver clung between them. Yu Mo suddenly caught her hand and gently licked it clean, slowly, before letting go.
Mu Fu’s heart skipped a beat. That look on his face—it was way too seductive. And just so incredibly hot. She couldn’t take it anymore. Hooking her arms around Yu Mo’s neck, she pulled him down and kissed him hard. Yu Mo met her kiss, responding tenderly. But when her hand began to drift lower, he gently held it in place.
His voice was low and rough as he said, “A-Fu, you’re still sore. Let’s wait for another day, okay?”
Mu Fu looked totally unconvinced, her expression full of suspicion. Then she narrowed her eyes and asked, “How would you know that? Did you do something while I was sleeping?” She stared at him, her eyes sharp and accusing, like a spotlight.
Yu Mo’s body tensed, and a blush crept up his pale cheeks. “Um…”
Mu Fu caught every little change in his expression, a teasing glint in her eyes. The desire he’d stirred in her earlier slowly started to fade. Her voice dropped to a whisper, “Did you like what you saw?” Looking like a seductive fairy out of a dream, she seemed to be luring anyone who looked at her into temptation.
Yu Mo’s face flushed even deeper. “…Yes,” he mumbled after a pause. “You’re beautiful.”
It was rare for Mu Fu to see him so shy, so she let it go before he got too flustered. “Help me get dressed.”
At the moment, she was completely bare under the blanket. Now that she was sitting up, her bare back was exposed. Yu Mo’s hand, resting behind her, froze. “Alright.” He quickly got her clothes. After all, he was the one who undressed her earlier—having him help her dress now felt only fair.
Yu Mo kept his eyes respectfully lowered the whole time, moving with quiet discipline. But Mu Fu’s feet kept wiggling and shifting, clearly testing his self-control. Eventually, he had to hold her legs still just to help her into her underwear. By the time he finished, a thin layer of sweat had formed on his forehead.
His eyes darkened for a second. Then he bent down, gently took Mu Fu’s hands, wrapped them around his neck, and whispered, “A-Fu, hold on tight. I’m taking you to eat.”
Mu Fu parted her soft pink lips. “Mm.”
Yu Mo swept her up in a princess carry and brought her to the dining room. Instead of placing her in a chair, he sat down first and settled her directly on his lap. Once again feeling the familiar firmness of his body, Mu Fu was overwhelmed by thoughts.
“I can feed myself,” she protested. But Yu Mo ignored it, keeping her nestled securely in his arms. His large hand wrapped around her slender waist. “You’re not feeling well, A-Fu. Let me take care of you.”
Mu Fu blushed furiously. It was just one sore spot—it wasn’t like her hands were broken!
Still, Yu Mo calmly picked up the chopsticks and fed her a bite, then gave himself one.
The two of them fed each other, bite by bite, until their sweet little dinner came to a close.
By now, it was getting late—they had to head back to the villa.
Yu Mo glanced at Mu Fu, his dark eyes deep and unreadable. “A-Fu, can we go out again tomorrow?”
Mu Fu blinked, instantly understanding what he meant. “Nope. I’m tired. I need to rest.”
Yu Mo looked down at her with those sad, puppy-dog eyes. “You could rest at my place… or I could come to yours. I’ve never been to your house before.”
Mu Fu’s answer was firm—she wasn’t changing her mind.
Seeing she wasn’t going to budge, Yu Mo quietly went to get the car. His expression was moody, distant—but that only made him seem even more attractive, like a storm cloud you couldn’t look away from.
Mu Fu started to second-guess herself. Maybe… maybe if he insisted again, she could just go with it and say yes? But surprisingly, all the way back to the villa, Yu Mo didn’t bring it up again.
When they got out of the car, they walked hand-in-hand. Yu Mo held their shopping bag from the supermarket in his other hand. Everyone else happened to be gathered in the living room downstairs.
Feng Ningran’s curious gaze kept flicking back and forth between them. Finally, she turned to Mu Fu and asked, “Did you two go out together? We didn’t see you come back.”
