She absorbed his warmth and scent, focusing on the rhythm of his breath. One hand subconsciously touched his right arm, while the other rested against his muscular back, where his tattoo was hidden beneath his Hanfu.
She relaxed slightly upon noticing that his right arm was fine. But the hand that touched his back suddenly burned, as if something hot had seared her skin. Her eyes stung, turning red again. She didn’t want them to notice, so she tightly shut her eyes.
Shenlian Yinzhu’s body stiffened the moment her hand brushed against the snake tattoo on his back, even through his robes.
"Yue’er, are you uncomfortable anywhere?" His voice was hoarse, tinged with desire that he tried to suppress, though she didn’t notice. He placed her on his lap, embracing her in his arms, providing her with a sense of comfort and security.
His heart pounded against his chest, relishing this rare closeness. His lips lingered near her ear, his hot breath brushing against her skin. His Adam’s apple bobbed as he struggled to control himself.
Unable to resist, he pressed his lips against her ear, then moved to her cheek and down to her delicate neck. His kisses were obsessive yet featherlight, hot lips grazing her skin.

She didn’t notice the purple tattoo forming on her slender right wrist, a mark of Abyssal Veil Orchid petals.
Shenlian Yinzhu smiled softly, his gaze filled with doting affection. But beneath it, unspeakable pain lurked.
