Chapter 154: Reluctant to Part
It took her an entire afternoon to finally read through everything and memorize it all before she got up. Her face was already burning red.
My palms and the backs of my hands were sweaty. Ancient sexual activity must have been incredibly exciting. I imagine they really went to great lengths to achieve this ecstasy.
The illustrations are so vivid and detailed that you wouldn't know these pedantic scholars could also have a repressed and passionate side if you hadn't seen them.
The book was put back untouched, and she went straight out the door. It was getting dark outside, and since the food was ready and it was getting cold, they decided not to eat outside and moved everything inside.
A charcoal fire was burning under the dining table, and the whole family gathered around the table to eat.
After taking a couple of bites, Ji Meiqing kept staring at Lu Yu. Perhaps influenced by him, she unconsciously looked him over from head to toe, paying special attention to his vital parts.
"What's wrong with you?" Granny Mei glanced at her, noticing her distracted appearance.
Being called out, Ji Meiqing's face instantly turned red. She shoveled down several mouthfuls of rice in silence before raising her head and asking in a bewildered tone, "What's wrong?"
The moment she spoke, everyone turned to look at her. She swallowed the food in her mouth and stared at them blankly.
She was a little nervous, afraid that they would notice something was wrong with her.
The books she read during the day had a significant impact on her.
"Eat your food! Why aren't you eating?" She took two more bites, and the small porcelain bowl was empty in an instant.
After finishing her meal, she poured herself a bowl of soup and drank it. The table returned to its original state. She calmly finished the soup in her bowl before sitting down for a while.
She ate the entire dinner cautiously, on tenterhooks, afraid that someone would notice something was wrong.
The winter nights were even colder than the days, and people walking outside kept their hands tucked into their sleeves. She wandered around the yard for a while before returning, the heat from her body had subsided, and she had calmed down.
Ji Meiqing first took a hot bath to get rid of the chill, and then changed into new clothes.
She returned to her room, and without looking up, said, "It's your turn to wash up."
After a while without hearing any movement, she looked up and saw that the box that had been placed there during the day had been opened, and her eyelids twitched heavily.
"That box..."
"Grandma Mei needs to organize her winter clothes; she needs to store them in several alleys."
He spoke without looking up, the clothes inside already tidied up. Ji Meiqing craned her neck to take a look, then pulled back; the books inside were gone.
"You should rest first," he said calmly.
She touched her nose and went into the inner room, her heart pounding. Since Lu Yu hadn't mentioned what was inside, she would just pretend she didn't know.
Only after she resolved to deny it to the death did she feel half relieved. She slowly climbed into bed, covered herself with the blanket, and her eyes suddenly narrowed.
On her dressing table lay a stack of books, the very kind she had been reading during the day. Her heart, which had just settled, now pounded again.
Lu Yu cleared out all the clothes before carrying the box out. Ji Meiqing looked at the door and then at the things on the dressing table. Without thinking, she ran over, grabbed the stack of books, looked around, but couldn't find a place to hide them.
Suddenly, there were footsteps outside. Ji Meiqing looked out the window, and without thinking, she stuffed the blanket under the bed and immediately ran to the bed to lie down.
She closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep, a feat that was astonishingly fast.
Although Ji Meiqing had her eyes closed, her ears were keenly perked up, listening to the sounds coming from the other side. After a while, she heard him go out.
After a while, she tentatively opened her eyes. Seeing that there was no one else in the room, she felt relieved and got up. As soon as she turned around, she saw Lu Yu sitting in the chair with a meaningful look on his face.
"What...what's wrong with you...?"
"The books I just put here are gone." He was slightly puzzled and distressed. "They are all scriptures, which I was going to show Tianci tomorrow, but now they are nowhere to be found."
Where did you put it?
“On that dressing table over there,” he pointed to the table, “it was just there.”
Ji Meiqing looked in the direction he was pointing, and her heart skipped a beat. Could it be that what she had just thrown was...?
Where are her books? Ji Meiqing looked around again. There were indeed no other boxes in the room. So where did her books go?
"Do you know where it is?"
"I...I don't know..." she stammered in denial, then added, "It's getting late, you should get some rest and look for it again tomorrow."
Lu Yu agreed, so he put down what he was holding and went to take a shower. Ji Meiqing, still shaken, lay back down.
Seeing that he had left, Ji Meiqing immediately gathered all the books from under the bed, which resulted in her getting quite a bit of dust on her head and body.
"What's wrong with you?" Lu Yu arrived at some point, a smile playing on his lips. Ji Meiqing felt as if she were being watched, and a chill ran down her spine.
Lu Yu walked over and helped her up. His gaze fell on the exposed corner, and he picked it up while she wasn't looking.
After casually flipping through a few pages, he smiled and said, "So, Madam has a taste for this kind of thing."
"No," she denied in a low voice.
Lu Yu returned the books to her, saying, "Since they're yours, keep them safe. They might come in handy in the future."
Ji Meiqing's face turned so red it was almost bleeding, and she didn't know whether to pick up the book in her hand or not.
"Yan Zhi brought this today," she said hastily, making up a reason on the spot. "She brought it, I just put it under my clothes..."
Lu Yu seemed thoughtful. "Why would she suddenly give you this?"
"How would I know?" Having found an excuse, she seemed to have gained confidence. "She always has her own reasons for doing things. I... how would I know?"
"Hmm...that's true." He looked at the book. "Since you don't need it, I'll take it. These books are just taking up space."
"..." She didn't know what to say. She had just escaped a disaster and was still a little scared. Those books were useless and worthless. She remembered that she had given some rare books as a wedding gift.
Erotic novels can indeed be captivating, even though they only involve a few specific actions, their appeal lies in the allure of the positions.
The ones I saw in the afternoon had accompanying pictures and text, and they were quite literary, poetic, and even bolder and more explicit.
When Lu Yu walked in, he saw her still in a daze, seemingly reluctant to part with the books.
