Marriage Seduction Addiction

Her sudden close approach was rather abrupt, and her groping movements were far too obvious.

How could Yan Shiyu not notice?

But he simply stood there in front of her, letting her touch it thoroughly before slowly withdrawing his hand and looking up at her.

Yan Shiyu then bent down to put down the bowl in his hand, reached out and gently held her hand, "Eat something first."

Tang Xu quickly withdrew her hand, took a small step back, and continued to look at him, "Have you seen my phone?"

Yan Shiyu didn't look up, but simply said, "Didn't you lose your phone?"

“Yes,” Tang Xu said, “but I thought maybe you would help me find it.”

"No."

"Oh," Tang Xu replied, then added, "Where's your phone? Can I borrow it?"

"I didn't bring it."

"If you didn't bring it, how will the others contact you?" Tang Xu asked again.

"I don't need anyone to contact me."

Upon hearing this, Tang Xu's heart skipped a beat.

She looked quietly at the composed man in front of her and said slowly, "Such a big thing has happened. We can just hide here and cut off all contact with the outside world, right?"

Yan Shiyu was helping her mix the noodles with chopsticks, and when she heard Tang Xu's words, she continued as if nothing had happened, "Isn't this better?"

Do you think it's a good idea?

“I think it’s great,” Yan Shiyu said. “I’ve wanted this for a long time…”

He looked up at Tang Xu and said in a low voice, "It's just you and me, no one can disturb us."

Upon hearing this, Tang Xu's heart trembled slightly. After a long silence, she could only manage a weak smile. "When did you learn to deceive yourself like this?"

Yan Shiyu's hand finally paused slightly.

However, Tang Xu did not know when to stop.

"If this can be considered an option, then why did we have to end things so decisively in the first place?"

Yan Shiyu finally put down his chopsticks, stood up and said, "I'll get you a small bowl."

Yan Shiyu's reaction was completely unexpected by Tang Xu.

He used to avoid answering her questions directly, but he rarely did so blatantly and continuously evade them. Besides... trapping the two of them in this small house, cut off from all contact with the outside world, was itself the greatest form of escapism.

This is not something Yan Shiyu should have done.

Watching Yan Shiyu walk back into the kitchen, Tang Xu turned and headed towards the front door.

Unexpectedly, the door was unlocked. Tang Xu casually pulled it open and walked out.

It was too dark and too quiet outside.

Tang Xu followed the light from the doorway and took a few steps outside, but could no longer see anything in the distance.

It took a long time for her eyes to adjust to the darkness, and she could vaguely make out the path in front of her and the fields beside it.

She didn't know where the suburbs were, so much so that apart from the two-story building in front of her, she couldn't see any other lights in the surrounding area.

Even when she wanted to leave, she didn't know which direction to go.

Perhaps it is precisely for this reason that Yan Shiyu is confident enough not to lock the door.

Tang Xu stood outside in a daze for a moment, until Yan Shiyu's voice came from behind her: "It's chilly at night, don't stand outside, come in quickly."

Tang Xu slowly turned around and looked at the man standing at the gate. Warm light shone behind him, and he stood in the shadows, appearing to her almost entirely as a dark shadow.

She couldn't see anything clearly about him.

Tang Xu's heart trembled once again.

The Yan Shiyu in front of her was quite different from any version of her she had ever known before.

Was it because of what happened last night that caused him a huge psychological burden, or was it something else?
Before Tang Xu could come up with an answer, Yan Shiyu had already walked out the door, walked straight to her, reached out and took her hand, and pulled her back into the house.

The small bowl was already filled with the noodles he had divided out. Yan Shiyu picked up the bowl, and just as he was about to personally pick out the noodles and feed them to Tang Xu, Tang Xu finally reached out and took the bowl and chopsticks from his hand.

"I'll eat it myself."

Yan Shiyu looked at her and smiled.

Tang Xu finished the bowl of noodles without tasting it, and sat quietly for a long time before finally speaking: "When...when can we leave here?"

Yan Shiyu was quiet for a moment before saying, "You're not feeling well, you should rest for a while longer."

Tang Xu was silent for a moment before saying, "But if I want to stay here, I need some daily necessities... I just checked, there's nothing here... Could you have someone send some over?"

“I know,” Yan Shiyu replied. “Tomorrow.”

Hearing this answer, Tang Xu should have been able to breathe a sigh of relief, but facing Yan Shiyu like this, and with the events of last night repeatedly replaying in her mind, she ultimately couldn't relax.

After she finished eating, Yan Shiyu quickly cleared away the dishes, while Tang Xu sat there, unable to even know the exact time, and could only sit there in a daze.

She knew, of course, that she should have a lot to think about at this moment, but all of this was beyond her expectations. At this moment, she really didn't have the energy to sort out the causes and consequences. All she wanted was to leave this place as soon as possible and return to the real world.

Only by going back can she find out what happened and how to deal with the aftermath.

Trapped here, all her thoughts were ultimately in vain.

Tang Xu was lost in thought when he suddenly heard Yan Shiyu's movements behind him.

She didn't move, but Yan Shiyu went straight to her, took her right hand, turned it over, and applied a hot towel to the spot where she had had an IV inserted earlier that day.

Tang Xu stared blankly at his actions, recalling the way he had vaguely seen her giving her an IV drip.

His movements were so practiced, it was as if he had done it a thousand times before—

When did all these hundreds and thousands of times happen?

Tang Xu dared not think further and quickly looked away.

Yan Shiyu silently finished applying the hot compress to her hand, his gaze lingering on the back of her hand, which was slightly red from the increased temperature, for a long time.

After a while, Tang Xu felt something was off and couldn't help but pull her hand away.

His gaze then gradually moved up her arm, eventually landing on her face once more.

Then, Yan Shiyu raised his hand and gently stroked her face.

Every touch was gentle and restrained, yet it was also an extreme expression of affection.

Finally, he reached out and pulled Tang Xu into his arms again, holding her tightly.

The long-suppressed pain, the fear of being on the brink of death, and the joy of regaining what was lost were finally brought to a concrete form at this moment.

He finally pulled her into his arms once again.

She's still there.

Nothing is more important than this. (End of Chapter)
