A vicious female is trapped in a beastly hell.

Chapter 425 It's been so long since I hugged you

During this period, Shen Tang was busy handling various matters during the day. Sometimes he was so busy that he couldn't even eat. When he was so hungry that his stomach hurt, he would just eat a few bites of cold rice from the refrigerator to heat it up.

Jialan couldn't bear to watch any longer, so no matter how busy she was, she would try her best to go home before mealtimes to cook her a hot meal.

Otherwise, with her relentless work ethic, she might really ruin her health!
After finishing dinner, Shen Tang went to help Shen Li heal his body as usual.

Tonight was the same routine as always, except she was delayed by something outside and came back even later.

The night sky was pitch black and dark, with thick clouds hanging low, obscuring the stars and moon. It looked like it might rain tonight.

Shen Tang glanced at the time; it was eight or nine o'clock in the evening.

I don't know if Shen Li is asleep or not.

She went over and knocked on the door.

Soon, a voice came from inside the room, "Come in."

Shen Tang pushed open the door and entered, her eyes momentarily dazed as she looked at the man sitting on the edge of the bed.

After this period of treatment, Shen Li's body has almost fully recovered. Except for the fact that his severed fox tail has not yet grown back, there are no major problems.

His long, bright red hair cascaded down his back. He had changed into a loose, dark-colored bathrobe, the belt at his waist loosened, revealing a small patch of his pale, muscular chest. Under the light, his skin was dazzlingly white, captivating the eye.

When Shen Li saw her coming, his long, beautiful fox-like eyes curved into a smile, his gentle expression as tender as ever. "Little Tang'er, you've come."

He got up and walked towards her.

Shen Li walked barefoot on the smooth floor. Against the dark background, her ankles were as white as jade, making one subconsciously feel that something was missing... If she could wear a gold chain with bells, swaying with her steps, it would be very beautiful.

Shen Tang was startled by the thought that flashed through her mind and awkwardly turned her face away. What are you looking at?

Now, she has mixed feelings about Shen Li, but she doesn't have any romantic thoughts about him.

The two had long since severed ties.

She only came to help him with his treatment.

"Sorry I got back a little late tonight. I thought you were asleep." Shen Tang entered the room and closed the door, casually starting a conversation to ease the slightly awkward atmosphere.

Shen Li said with concern, "I'm almost fully recovered, so you don't need to come over every night to treat me and disturb your rest."

"It's alright, it won't take long anyway. Are you lying in bed or sitting in a chair?" Shen Tang's tone was calm and gentle, showing her to be a very responsible doctor.

Shen Li looked at her quietly for a few seconds, pursed his thin lips, and looked at the clean bed. "Let's stay in bed."

"Okay, then lie down and I'll help you with the healing."

Shen Li nodded and lay back down on the bed.

Shen Tang sat down on the edge of the bed, green energy appearing at his fingertips, sweeping over his body inch by inch like a gentle spring breeze and rain, nourishing and healing his flesh and meridians.

Throughout the entire process, Shen Li stared intently at her.

Shen Tang tried her best to ignore his gaze, but the man's eyes were too direct and intense, making her face flush. Just as she was about to say something, she heard him suddenly speak, "Not enough."

"what?"

Shen Li lowered her long eyelashes slightly and said seriously, "Didn't you say before that the healing effect is best when there is physical contact?"

"..." Shen Tang paused for a moment, then slowly explained, "Back then, my healing ability was relatively weak, and I had to touch it to heal. Now, that's no longer necessary."

"But I feel that the healing effect these past few days is not satisfactory." Shen Li covered his chest with one hand, frowned slightly, and seemed to have some difficulty breathing. "It still feels very uncomfortable here."

Shen Tang recalled the night she stabbed him, a pang of guilt rising in her heart, but she didn't refute it. Her finger landed on his chest, "Fine, I'll try again."

There's actually no difference; it's just for psychological comfort.

Shen Li's old heart injury has healed, though it's slightly displaced, but it won't have a major impact on his health. Her healing abilities can't help much; at most, they can only make him more comfortable.

Shen Tang's fingers wandered over his chest.

Shen Li's body tensed, and his breathing became erratic. He looked at her.

His beautiful fox-like eyes were captivating and mesmerizing. His gaze swept over her face inch by inch, carrying a hint of greedy longing, yet also seemingly concealing a trace of hidden confusion.

The entire treatment process was very quiet.

The two remained silent, a silent understanding between them.

After Shen Tang finished her healing work for the day, she was about to get up and leave when her wrist was grabbed.

Shen Li suddenly tightened his grip on her wrist, and Shen Tang lost her strength and fell into his arms.

"You...!" Shen Tang's eyes widened, before she could even speak.

Shen Li raised his hand and pressed the back of her head, then lowered his head to kiss her lips, swallowing his words.

It's like a fish that has been thirsty for a long time finally touching the river water it has been longing for; its long-cherished desire is finally fulfilled in this moment.

Shen Li eagerly kissed her soft lips, but only lightly touched and pecked them, not daring to go too far or offend her.

"Little Tang'er..."

He murmured softly, over and over again.

His breathing became increasingly erratic.

Shen Tang pressed her palm against his chest, and could clearly feel his powerful heart beating, fast and hot, as if it would jump out of his chest at any moment!
He seemed unsatisfied and rolled over, pinning her beneath him.

Shen Tang snapped out of her shock, her face flushed with anger and embarrassment. She shoved him away forcefully and raised her hand to slap him, yelling, "You're such a bastard!"

Shen Li anticipated her move, grabbed her wrist, and pulled her into his arms again. He wrapped his other arm around her waist from behind, leaned down, and whispered in her ear, "I'm sorry."

Shen Tang's fingertips twitched slightly, and the two remained in the same position. In that instant, it was as if time had stopped.

The man's warm breath and body aroused both instinctive desire and resistance in Shen Tang.

Shen Tang took a deep breath and tried her best to calm her voice, "Let me go, I don't want to hurt you again."

Shen Li rested his forehead against the back of her neck and whispered, "Don't go, let me hold you for a while, just a little while."

"..."

"I promise I won't do anything else."

"..."

Shen Li did not do anything offensive again, just quietly held her, as if this tenderness was enough to fill the emotional void.

Shen Tang's body grew increasingly stiff. Reason told her that she should push him away, but for some reason, she ultimately didn't.

Perhaps, she was thinking: She's a doctor, and healing patients' psychological problems is also a form of healing.

Anyway, it's just a hug, nothing else.

Outside the window, the clouds drifted slowly, letting in a sliver of clear moonlight that streamed into the room.

It was supposed to be a cloudy night.

Shen Li held the female in his arms, his arms slowly tightening. Inhaling her familiar and pleasant scent, his erratic heartbeat gradually calmed down, and he felt an indescribable peace and tranquility.

Only then did he understand.

How much he longed for her.

He was so reluctant to let her go.

He wanted her so badly.

He said with deep longing,

"It's been so long since I hugged you."
