The first thing I felt was the cold. Had I been dreaming last night? Yes surely, because this kind of thing could only happen in dreams. How could someone like Lan Zhan be so passionate and demanding about sex! He, who had always been such a prude! I blushed just thinking about it! Where had my mind gone to look for such things? HuaiSang's books didn't mention this kind of position! Nor this kind of pleasure mixed with pain.

I was lying on my stomach, at first sight in a bed. I didn't remember stopping in an inn... no I was .... Returned to Gusu! I wanted to change position, a pain crossed my kidneys! It was not a dream! I heard someone moving in the room and coming to sit on the bed beside me!

If I hadn't dreamed the events of that night, why wasn't Lan Zhan lying next to me? Why wasn't his body pressed against mine and his arms around me! Why, if it was our first night together, had he left the bed? Did he regret having let himself be dragged away by his impulses? Was he blaming me for having lured him into my nets and seduced him? No, impossible... he was the one who had kissed me first and confessed his feelings.

Kissed first... Lan Zhan was really a secretive person, he stole my first kiss. After Mount Dafan, he took advantage of the fact that I was unconscious to kiss me without my knowledge! He was careful not to tell me afterwards. I wondered if he had done other things behind my back without me noticing? I would have to ask him. Now we could tell each other anything, even what we had never dared to!

I opened my eyes, there you were, sitting next to me. I smiled at you, even though I would have preferred to wake up in your arms for our first time!

"Hello, so I wasn't dreaming? Was it real?"

"Mnnn."

Decidedly, there were some things that would never change in the way you answered the questions you were asked!

I tried to sit up. My whole lower body was sore, not only my kidneys but also my thighs and my ... how to say ... buttocks! I grimaced.

"This time it was definitely not a dream! Lan Zhan, you were not particularly gentle with me last night. I hurt all over!"

"I prepared a bath for you to relax."

Relax? But of course !!!! to the way you looked at me, I had the impression that you were dying to do the same and make me your breakfast! Very well, but in that case why didn't you move? Why did you seem hesitant? I think you needed a little encouragement!

I unconsciously pouted as I thought about it .... An idea occurred to me. I put on a childish and sad look.

"Lan Zhan, now that you've gotten what you wanted, don't you love me anymore?"

You looked stunned and filled with incomprehension.

"Why do you say that?" he asked.

I smiled mischievously and teasingly at him.

"You haven't kissed me yet!" I held my face up to him and my lips didn't have to wait long for his to come and take it!

He pushed me down on the bed and put all his weight on me. I wanted to feel his skin against mine again. To be sure it wasn't all a dream! My hands searched for an opening through the barriers of her clothes. They finally came to rest on her breast. I was so focused on my desire to feel his skin that I didn't notice that he had slipped his hand between my legs and was moving back and forth. Waves of pleasure ran through my entire lower body! Where had he learned all this? Books couldn't be the only explanation!

But I couldn't blame him, he had lived 16 years without me. I couldn't expect him to remain chaste and pure for me! The main thing is that I remained pure for him.

"Say Gégé, didn't you tell me about a bath?

"Mnnn," you said, nibbling my shoulder.

"Is the tub big enough for two?

"Mnnnn" you continued to kiss my neck.

"How about we continue what we're doing in a nice bath?

"Don't you want to do it in bed?" you were now attacking my nipples.

"Yes, but... how can I put it... I'm a little .... sticky in some places" You straightened up and looked me straight in the eye. You looked like you were feeling guilty.

"Mnn" I started to laugh.

"Lan Zhan, I am as guilty as you are for this. If you hadn't taken as much pleasure in me as you had given me, I wouldn't be in this uncomfortable situation!!!"

"Wash you!"

You grabbed me in your arms and lifted me as if I weighed no more than a feather. You carried me to a corner of the Jingshi where the toilet area was set up. A large wooden tub was filled with water. When you put me in, I could see that it was warm. I took a closer look at the tub. It seemed to be a bit bigger than normal!

Lan Zhan... you little rascal! You had ulterior motives for this bathtub, it seems to me!

You slipped into the water, right behind me. Your hands began a gentle ballet on my body with the soap.

"Lan Zhan, can I ask you something?

"Mnnn."

"Why, weren't you there when I woke up? I thought you were regretting what happened between us and I was alone again!" Your hands froze for a split second.

"I had to talk to my brother and my uncle."

"Do they know I'm here?"

"Mnnn" your hands began to wander again.

"Lan Zhan, what did you tell them?"

" That you were mine "

"Ohh..."

I couldn't believe my ears. He had told his brother and uncle that we were lovers!!! Master QiRen would never forgive me for perverting his best student! Let alone for tainting the virtue of the great Han GuangJun!

"Lan Zhan what did they say?"

"I gave them no choice, it's the two of us together here or we leave YunShen Buzhi. I will never part with you again."

"Really?" my heart sang. It was beating wildly.

"Lan Zhan, promise me that in the future, I will never wake up alone in our bed again"

"Mnnn, I promise."

"Promise me too, that from now on, there will never be another secret between us!"

"Mnnn, I promise"

"I know you didn't stop living while I was away. But promise me you'll tell me about the life you led without me! Even if it hurts me. I want to know...what made you the man you are today!"

"I've changed?"

"Yes, you are different, but that is normal. You've matured, but unfortunately for you, I'm afraid I'm still largely the same teenager I was when I died!

"That teenager was already very responsible. You had made decisions that would have scared a lot of adults!"

"Yes, but I think I would always be a little mischievous and childish.

"That's how I love you, an adult with a childlike soul. Don't ever change my love".

"I promise you that"

Our lips sealed together. We were one and we would stay one... forever.
