Chapter 62: Revealing True Feelings 2

Su Qingwan’s answer dispelled Lu Yuner’s concerns and made her realize how deeply he cared for her. Faced with his sincerity, she felt she should also reveal her own feelings to him.

“Yes.”

Lu Yuner reached out with her slender white fingers to lift the young man’s defined chin. Not giving him a chance to react, she leaned down with closed eyes and gently kissed Su Qingwan’s soft lips, as tender as a light drizzle.

Their burning lips pressed fully together, an ambiguous atmosphere permeating the quiet surroundings.

Their breaths intertwined intimately, inseparable, sweet to the point of cloying, hot enough to scald.

After a brief moment, Lu Yuner restrained herself from deepening the kiss and pulled away slightly. With eyes brimming with affection, she gazed deeply at his exquisitely beautiful face. The two were so close that their eyes reflected each other’s figures, while they felt each other’s scorching breaths, making their hearts pound wildly.

Su Qingwan, faced with Lu Yuner’s sudden intimate gesture, was frozen in place, unable to move, his mind in chaos.

His eyes, as lively as a deer’s, widened in disbelief. Had Elder Sister Yuner really kissed him?

Su Qingwan was stunned for a good while before coming back to his senses.

Su Qingwan’s fair face was tinged with a faint blush. At this moment, he felt as if he were in a dream. He unconsciously reached up to touch his still-tingling lips, his heart surging like turbulent waves. He stared at her, unable to believe it: “Elder Sister Yuner, you… you…”

The young man’s expression was shy and dazed, looking a bit foolish.

Lu Yuner couldn’t help but smile. She took his hand from his lips and held it, slowly interlacing their fingers until they were tightly clasped together.

Then she bent down, her posture intimate as she moved to his ear. Her deep eyes fell on his blushing neck and ears. Lu Yuner’s lips curled up slightly as she tilted her face to his ear and whispered softly, “The person worth staying for — it’s you! You little fool!”

They were very close, and Elder Sister Yuner’s cool fragrance wafted into his nostrils. Su Qingwan swallowed, the warm breath on his ear making it tingle.

Elder Sister Yuner’s sudden confession made Su Qingwan’s slender shoulders tremble slightly. He looked at Lu Yuner in disbelief, his beautiful eyes once again brimming with tears. His handsome little face instantly turned bright red, his breathing becoming ragged. His heart pounded like thunder from excitement, feeling as if it might burst.

Was it really him?

Su Qingwan forcibly suppressed the joy in his heart, holding back the tears in his eyes. He bit his lower lip lightly and asked uncertainly, “Elder Sister Yuner, do you really mean it?”

“Of course I do.” Lu Yuner’s eyes crinkled with a smile as she reached out her slender arms and actively pulled Su Qingwan into her embrace, only to find that his waist was as soft and delicate as a willow leaf.

It was barely enough to grasp, truly a fine waist, and the feel was exceptionally good. Indeed, the men of this female-dominated world were so soft!

With such a beauty in her arms, how could she not be flustered? Lu Yuner’s gaze darkened slightly, her voice lowering as she spoke slowly, “I can’t deny that initially, I had planned to return. During this past year, besides adapting to life here, I deliberately kept my distance from people, reducing unnecessary interactions. Regarding matters of love between men and women, I politely declined everything. But…”

“Unexpectedly… I met you, Young Master Su. I thought I could just refuse as usual, especially since no matter how much you like someone, given enough time, the novelty and passion would fade away.”

“Although I tried to restrain everything, the course of events was beyond my expectations. Gradually, it spiraled out of control. Young Master Su, your feelings for me, simple and sincere, pure yet passionate, slowly set my heart in turmoil.”

Lu Yuner stared at his delicate face, flushed like a blooming peach blossom in early spring. The more she looked, the more excessively beautiful she found him. Her voice, filled with a peculiar emotion, continued, “To be honest, how could I not have any feelings for someone as handsome and devoted to me as you? The emotional changes and physical restlessness I experienced while interacting with you, these are natural reactions that can’t be faked. This time, after we both went through danger and survived, it also allowed me to see clearly into my own heart and understand a truth.”

Saying this, Lu Yuner expressed her emotions in her own way, kissing his fair forehead and gazing at him tenderly, enunciating each word: “Cherish the person before you.”

Faced with these successive surprises, Su Qingwan’s mind buzzed, his heart still pounding violently. His little face burned like a cloud at sunset, his watery eyes sparkling brightly.

Elder Sister Yuner finally had him in her heart, willing to open up to him and reveal all her thoughts. The long persistence had paid off for Young Master Su, all the bitterness and waiting instantly turning to nothing.

At this moment, a rippling smile hid in the glistening tears that kept spilling from his eyes, allowing the tide of emotions in his heart to flow freely.

Seeing this, Lu Yuner’s entire heart softened. She knew he had waited too long for her response. Large teardrops rolled down from his eyes, falling onto the back of their tightly clasped hands, burning her heart with both heat and pain.

Lu Yuner actually couldn’t bear to see such a beautiful person cry. Previously, every time he cried, she would involuntarily avert her gaze.

But now, his crying was breaking her heart. Lu Yuner instinctively cupped his tear-stained face and kissed the warm tears with her lips.

Su Qingwan was startled by this action, his whole body tensing up. He naturally forgot about crying, his slender fingers tightly gripping the bedding. His entire being was like a ripe cherry in an orchard, his whole body flushed with a layer of red. He quickly lowered his eyelashes, not daring to look at her, extremely shy.

Seeing this, Lu Yuner stopped kissing him and pulled back a little, then smiled brightly.

Young Master Su was so innocent, she couldn’t help but love it!

However, after all, they were people who lived in two different worlds, each with their own growth trajectories. When it came to interactions between men and women, especially intimate matters, the practices and openness of the two worlds were vastly different.

Here, she should respect all aspects of him.

Lu Yuner restrained her actions and spoke to him in a soft, gentle voice, “Alright, don’t cry anymore. You’re still injured!”

Hearing her words of concern, Su Qingwan’s eyes were red and wet but no longer shedding tears. He also wanted to recover soon, to be by Elder Sister Yuner’s side, and didn’t want to become a burden to her.

Seeing him obediently listen, now that everything had been laid out clearly and their relationship confirmed, the main concern at present was still Young Master Su’s injuries.

Lu Yuner helped him wipe away his tears and tidied his slightly disheveled hair. Her gaze, full of tender affection, contained a hundred kinds of pity as she caringly said, “You need to rest well to help your body recover. Be good now, and take a little nap, okay?”

“Mm.” Su Qingwan’s innocent gaze carried an obvious shyness, but his eyes never left the person before him.

After Young Master Su obediently lay down, Lu Yuner closed the door. The smile on her face instantly disappeared, replaced by a trace of pain.

“Miss Lu.” Old Man Li glanced at her and walked straight into the medicine room with a basket on his back.

Lu Yuner understood his meaning and followed him into the medicine room.

Old Man Li put down his basket and went to the medicine shelf, selecting a few jars of medicine and placing them on the table. His eyes seemed to pierce through her body as he raised an eyebrow and said, “This old man has practiced medicine for many years, and my medical skills are well-known in the village. Although Miss Lu has a good constitution, you are after all under my roof. Don’t ruin my medical reputation. Use these few jars of medicine on the table.”

As an experienced old doctor, Old Man Li could tell her physical condition at a glance. She knew that although Old Man Li was a bit eccentric, he was truly a good person. Lu Yuner was deeply moved and would definitely repay him well later.

“Yes, thank you!”

After Old Man Li left, Lu Yuner picked up the medicine on the table and examined it carefully. She found that there were both external and internal medicines. After taking the internal medicine, perhaps due to its effects, coupled with not having slept the night before, Lu Yuner now felt weak all over, her eyelids as heavy as a thousand pounds.

At this moment, overcome with sleepiness, she lay down on the bed in the medicine room and slowly drifted off to sleep.

Later, Old Man Li, having changed into clean clothes, came to the medicine room again. He thoughtfully looked at the sleeping Lu Yuner, reached out to check her pulse, then took the freshly picked medicinal herbs from his basket and went out.

As evening approached, Lu Yuner finally woke up. She got up and went to the courtyard, gazing at the picturesque rural village scenery, which was truly enchanting.

The sunset clouds, burning like flames, were vivid in color. In the distance, by a small stream, villagers carrying hoes flashed by on their way home, followed by a few old oxen returning for the night.

Wisps of smoke rose from the rooftops of every house. This self-sufficient, well-fed life in the countryside was very pleasant.

Far from the hustle and bustle, it was carefree and content.

After resting and adjusting, Lu Yuner now felt refreshed in body and mind. She turned and entered the kitchen to cook.

A while later, having prepared the evening meal, she placed the dishes on the table in the courtyard. Su Qingwan was still resting, so Lu Yuner went to invite Old Man Li to eat. Old Man Li gave face and came. To avoid an awkward atmosphere, Lu Yuner intentionally engaged him in conversation, but alas, Old Man Li ate in silence.

After the two finished their meal quietly, Old Man Li went out to visit neighbors and take a walk. Lu Yuner cleared away the bowls and cleaned the table, kept Young Master Su’s dinner warm in the pot, and busied herself with taking on the household chores.

At this time, Su Qingwan had already woken up. Not seeing Elder Sister Yuner by his side, he got up and slowly opened the door. He looked at the scenery in the courtyard, then shifted his gaze to the left, where through the open window he saw the busy figure in the kitchen.

The orange evening light streamed through the window, quietly spreading around her, illuminating her exquisitely beautiful face. From her eyebrows to her chin, every feature was dazzling and flawless.

The breeze from the mountains rippled, stirring his heartstrings. Su Qingwan was completely captivated, and also grateful that this woman before him belonged to him alone.

Su Qingwan, of noble birth, had seen countless women. There were many noble ladies who deliberately tried to please him, but not a single one had caught his eye.

Only Elder Sister Yuner made his soul linger and his heart flutter.

Recalling when Elder Sister Yuner revealed her feelings to him, taking the initiative to get close to him including kissing him, every move was filled with tender affection.

Thinking of this, Su Qingwan shyly lowered his reddened face. He had tasted the soft sweetness as he wished, but found it wasn’t enough.

He even felt somewhat regretful about his slow reaction at the time. Having finally had a chance to be intimate with Elder Sister Yuner, he hadn’t taken the initiative to kiss her back. He sighed softly, “Why am I… so foolish!”

Suddenly, a cheerful voice rang out, “Young Master Su, what are you muttering to yourself about?”
