Chapter 6: The Walk Back
Xue Lan leaned on his shoulder as they walked back to their shared residence. Her steps were light, but uneven—her thighs brushed awkwardly, still tender from the night's use. Lin Mu said nothing. His hand supported her waist gently, guiding her over the stone path as if she might fall apart without him.
The silence between them wasn't tense.
It was raw.
She hadn't spoken much since Jin Rui finished inside her. Since Lin Mu had knelt between her thighs and cleaned her of another man's cum with his tongue. Since he had swallowed it without protest.
She hadn't stopped him.
She hadn't looked ashamed, either.
In fact... there had been a moment—brief, fleeting—where her fingers had curled into his hair, guiding his mouth softly. It hadn't lasted long. But he felt it.
He felt all of it.
And now, walking side by side, her scent still lingered—not hers alone, but the thick, musky trace of another man's seed that no amount of washing had yet removed.
