Chapter 16

Outside the attic there was the sound of wind and rain rustling the leaves, but inside the attic it was so quiet that Xue Li could hear Wei Jie's breathing.

The closer she got to Wei Jie, the more intense the discomfort became. At this moment, the distance between the two was finally as close as she wished. She could almost touch Wei Jie's chin just by raising her head again.

Wei Jie was half-kneeling to support Xue Li, her snow-like robe hanging down and layered with her pink and white skirt.

Even though he was so close, Xue Li calmed down the moment he spoke. She seemed to be happy too early. Every bit of tolerance Wei Jie showed to her now was probably out of self-cultivation and had nothing to do with the relationship between men and women. If he was even a little moved, he should be coaxing her with pity and comforting her at this moment.

The men who admire Xue Li are like crucian carp crossing the river, and there are many of them who are sincere to her, so of course she knows how much affection a man has for her.

Xue Li gritted her teeth in pain and her palms ached. If she had known she was going to suffer, she would have just let Wei Jie fall.

"I was just in a hurry, and I didn't mean anything else. I hope... I hope my cousin won't blame me." As soon as she

finished speaking, she heard Wei Jie say warmly, "I'm sorry."

Then her body suddenly rose into the air, and a pair of Strong arms crossed her waist and hugged her whole body, and the corners of her skirt traced a petal-like arc.

She exclaimed and subconsciously held Wei Jie's shoulder, causing the wound to hurt again and she took a breath.

The moment Wei Jie picked up Xue Li, he still couldn't suppress the discomfort in his heart. The woman's soft and slender waist was like poisonous ivy covered with mud, making him frown subconsciously at the moment of touching her.

However, he heard the sound of Xue Li inhaling in pain and her deliberate move to bring her head closer to him.

The jade tassels in Xue Li's hair swayed with his steps, making a soft sound when they collided.

She gently touched his shoulder and reminded: "Cousin, if you can't see clearly, don't be brave, I'm still here."

Wei Jie heard that she was concerned about him on the surface, but in fact she was worried that he would wander around. , it will only hurt her in his arms, and I don’t know how much truth there is in her words.

However, people like Xue Li reminded him of a bird he met when he was young. The bird came close to his window and ate the dried fruits and chestnuts on his desk. He did not drive them away, but regarded the birds as each other's only companions. Occasionally, it would be willing to jump on his shoulder intimately. He thought that the bird was treating him special, but he saw it again in front of the steps pecking at the corn in the palm of the servant. The birds treated him no differently than other people, except for food.

He felt a sudden disappointment, the bird was no longer interesting, and the next time it landed on the desk, he strangled it silently. That was also the first time he did something so outrageous. He felt regretful afterwards. Whenever he thought about it again, he felt an emotion that made him feel disgusted.

Xue Li is a bird that is good at seducing people. Wei Jie knows that he will not be the first person she wants to seduce. In order to "eat", she will do the same to others when she turns around, but now he is no longer An ignorant child. He would not be so stupid and ignorant that he would be attracted by her cheap tricks, nor would he be lost in her beauty and sweet words.
