Chapter 373: Chapter 137: The Green Tea Female Supporting Character in the Period Novel (24)
But Jiang Yihua was like a changed man. He wouldn’t listen, he just wouldn’t. Only after catching her and fiercely sating himself did he grin, extend his arm, and pull at his clothes.
"Yun’er, look. We were just so close, but I didn’t get any red bumps. I’m cured," he said, smiling as he pulled her into another hug.
"I’ve overcome my psychological barrier!"
Surprised, Chi Yun’er grabbed his arm and examined it inch by inch.
’Ever since they’d made their relationship official, had there been a single day they hadn’t taken the opportunity to be affectionate?’
’And it was usually her who pounced on him coquettishly, begging for hugs, kisses, and to be lifted up high. She would tease him until he couldn’t take it anymore, completely ignoring his condition and leaving him alone to suffer in torment.’
’It was summer, and men tended to run hot and weren’t afraid of a tan, so he always wore short-sleeved shirts. That meant every time they were intimate, she would witness the red bumps that immediately flared up on his skin. They would connect into patches that felt hot and uneven to the touch.’
’And yet, she always found it fun and refused to let him off the hook. She’d poke at the bumps like she was popping bubbles, teasing him for a good long while.’
However, no matter how observant a man might be, he couldn’t possibly notice every single aspect of daily life.
Chi Yun’er had been using effective methods to help him overcome his phobia, employing constant physical contact and supplementing it with verbal guidance in their daily interactions.
She had noticed a clear trend: the red bumps were taking longer to appear, weren’t spreading as much, and were fading more quickly.
Chi Yun’er’s eyes flickered. "Brother Hua, have you been in contact with any other women?"
Jiang Yihua raised an eyebrow. "So, you’re saying that because we spend every day together, I’ve developed a resistance to the allergic reaction my phobia triggers around you?"
"But it still exists when it comes to others?"
Chi Yun’er blinked. "I’m not sure, either. It’s just a guess."
’Who knew if he had only become immune to her, or if it extended to all women.’
Jiang Yihua chuckled and pulled her into another fierce, cherished hug. "Who cares about that? As long as I don’t have a reaction to you, that’s all that matters."
"This way," he murmured into her ear, his voice low and husky, "I can have my way with you whenever I want..."
Chi Yun’er’s delicate face instantly flushed, but she lifted her head. Her eyes seemed to hold a flirtatious smile, yet they were also like a clear spring reflecting his own desire. "Brother Hua, how are you going to have your way with me? Would you even have the heart?"
All the blood in Jiang Yihua’s body seemed to surge upward. The searing heat that washed over him was far more intense than his allergic reactions.
He gritted his teeth. "You little temptress, you’ll be the death of me!"
With that, he spun around, pinning her against the door and pressing himself against her.
"Of course I have the heart for this," he murmured, "I wish I could devour you, bite by bite..."
「Before noon, the matter of Bian Family Village had already drawn to a close.」
Bian Xiaolan had indeed participated in the private, illegal cultivation of Manduo; not only him, but his entire family was involved. As the principal offender, Bian Xiaolan was to be executed by firing squad to serve as a warning to others. The accomplices received sentences ranging from three to over twenty years of imprisonment.
When she heard the news, Chi Yun’er trembled all over. A powerful surge of emotion washed over her, one that felt like her own deep-seated vengeance had been achieved, yet somehow not hers at all. It was a feeling mingled with the sorrow of being unable to return to the past, and it arrived with intense force only to fade just as quickly.
Chi Yun’er felt as if her entire life had suddenly become clear, and the relief was like she had just broken free from heavy shackles.
Then, other pieces of what she considered good news arrived all at once. For example, Jiang Zishi, being such a "responsible and dependable" man, had gone to register his marriage to the now-defiled Bian Yumin first thing that morning to show that his affections for her would not change.
Bian Yumin had suffered a terrible ordeal, but she blamed it all on Chi Yun’er and Jiang Zishi. She had indeed gotten her wish and become Jiang Zishi’s wife, but she also hated him with a passion, because she knew exactly what he wanted from her.
The two of them would never be sweet and loving; in the end, they were destined to become a resentful couple.
One would inwardly despise his wife for being impure, yet have to stomach his disgust and make use of her. The other, in order to climb the social ladder, would have no choice but to be used by her husband...
With their lives set to be miserable, Chi Yun’er felt the sky was high, the rivers were green, and all of creation was lovely!
Director Zhang was arrested for rape, and he too would be made an example of and executed by firing squad.
Because officials from the neighboring province had intervened and the matter had caused such a huge uproar, the news had spread to all the surrounding towns and villages in just one morning.
The higher-ups could no longer sit still. An order came down to thoroughly investigate the brick factory and conduct a search of the mountains, to drag every last bit of evil out from the shadows!
Jiang Yihua chuckled lightly. "News about Jiang Zishi will probably reach the Capital City soon. And even though Bian Yumin is a victim, Bian Family Village’s reputation is ruined. The admission slots for the Industrial and Agricultural University definitely won’t go to them this time."
