CHAPTER 2: Fond Illusion When the night came, Xu Wan anxiously waited until 11 o"clock. She already summed up from the last few nights that she would always wake up from her nightmare at exactly one past thirty in the morning, so she planned to sleep when it finally reached that time.
"Surely this way I wouldn"t have that kind of dream again…"
After she almost finished watching the third movie, she stood up and took a gla.s.s of water. When she looked at the clock on the wall, the time showed that it"s reaching midnight, so she let out a sigh of relief.
"Luan Er… Luan Er…" A familiar male voice lightly whispered in Xu Wan"s ears.
As the ghostly voice becoming more and more hurried, a sigh of hot air suddenly blew behind her ear, immediately followed by a firm embrace from a pair of powerful arms behind her.
No! I don"t want this! Xu Wan thought in exasperation.
Xu Wan wanted to yell and scream, only to found out that she couldn"t let out a squeak. Her shuddering soft lips were lightly caressed by the man"s fingertips, prodding and thrusting inside her hot wet lips many times over.
Her eyes couldn"t see, her limbs couldn"t move, and her cry was without tears. I"m finished, I really couldn"t avoid this dream… She thought, as she could only accept her fate with a seething anger in her heart.
"Luan Er, do you miss big brother?" A familiar husky voice rang near her sensitive ear.
The man"s fingers were too cold, the unknown skin texture of his fingertips lightly swept on her orderly gum when he then pushed further inside and teased her pink, wet tongue. Xu Wan helplessly leaned on his bosom. When her tongue was played until it was thoroughly numb, he finally pulled out his unruly fingers from her gaping mouth that she couldn"t even close anymore. Strings of transparent saliva dripped down uncontrollably from her silky soft red lips, creating a bewitching, sultry appearance of a beautiful vixen in heat.
"Nngh~"
Xu Wan let out a shameful soft moan as the man licked the corner of her mouth, audibly gulping down her saliva with relish as if it was the sweetest nectar he ever had. Xu Wan who guarded her first kiss for these past 20 years clearly couldn"t bear the shame anymore this time.
This kind of dream will really be the death of me! Xu Wan thought in painful embarra.s.sment.
In an abrupt moment, the front part of her body felt slightly cold as the b.u.t.tons of her pajama were being undone one by one. Xu Wan subconsciously struggled in her sudden realization, because she never uses any underwear when she"s at her own home!
The pink tip of her bun was suddenly caught by a slightly damp mouth as it gently bit her small cherry that gradually hardened under his meticulous care, all while his big rough hand tightly gripping her other snow-white mound with force.
Ahh~ Xu Wan let out a silent scream inside her heart. She was f.u.c.ked without foreplay until she hovered between life and death when she dreamed those nightmares before. But she didn"t know why the rogue spent his sweet time this night and made her felt an unbearable longing…
Wait, wait! Something"s wrong! A sudden realization hit her in her moment of ecstasy.
Her small mouth above was being sucked off her saliva, so who"s the one eating her cherry?
A cold s.h.i.+vered down her spine. Her waist was hugged tightly by a pair of muscular hands, but there"s still another hand ferociously kneading and pinching her bun, while another one slowly exploring down towards her most private area.
Two lips! Four arms! A look of horror painted her pale face.
"Tsk tsk, Ah Luan"s place down there is all wet and tight."
Another voice abruptly broke Xu Wan"s shock and amazement. She didn"t realize when her trouser and lace panty were all pulled down to her knee together. The man slightly pushed apart both of her legs, using his rough fingers to directly teased the slit of her flower hole.
She didn"t need him telling her anything as she could feel the dampness spreading at her secret place herself.
The man"s deep laughter beside her ear was akin to the devil"s. She"s afraid that if it wasn"t because she"s unable to open her eyes, her tears would already burst and flowed down her face like a broken dam. She"s only an unmarried virgin young maiden, she even would never watch any blue movies herself at normal times, how could she dream this kind of dream every night? It really pushed past her limits!
"Don"t…want…"
When two fingers were finally inserted inside her wetness, Xu Wan used up all of her energy and shouted out these two words. It was supposed to be an angry roar, but at this moment it became a silky soft and weak lascivious cry instead.
However, when the two words rushed out from her throat, the force that bound her suddenly disappeared as the dark s.p.a.ce gradually became bright. When she tried to open her heavy eyelids, the scenery that she met with was the blinding light of her favorite lotus crystal lamp.
Her soft limbs slowly returned to normal. When her head became clear enough, Xu Wan stood straight up on the sofa. Her heart was still wildly jumping as she hastily examined her own body. There"s nothing wrong with the pink cherry pajama; she"s still wearing it properly, as usual.
The computer on her coffee table was already showing the ending of the fourth film. She looked up at the clock and found in her helplessness that it was exactly half past one again!
"When did I go to sleep?" She sighed and murmured under her breath.
She rubbed her head that was still feeling a little dizzy, and reached the bathroom with much difficulty. She looked at her own current state in the mirror; the disheveled hair messily spread across her oval face that emitted an abnormal flush, her lips were bright red and slightly swelled up.
Even worse was the lingering indescribable hollow feeling between her legs that was left by the man"s fingers when he inserted them and almost immediately took her to the peak.
In the next early morning, Xu Wan called her group leader and took a sick leave for a day. Then she immediately took a taxi and went to Tangle Village at the West Street, which to her surprise, was a famous village in her city. She used the whole morning to find the house number 46.
It was a six-story old-fas.h.i.+oned building adjacent to the garbage dump The original paint has already peeled off the wall, as a lot of fortune-telling characters filled it with red lacquer. Next to the building were a row of broken-tiled houses. According to the pa.s.sersby, the grandmother surnamed Li surely lived in one of the houses there, with a weeping willow tree in her courtyard as a mark.
The summer in the coastal city was really hot and humid, with fierce sunlight on top of her head. She impatiently knocked the outdated wooden door several times but no one came over. As she took some paper towels to wipe away her dripping sweat, she waited for some ten minutes before giving up and turned around to leave.
"Young lady, why do you come and then leave so quickly?"
Xu Wan who had just stepped under the willow tree heard a voice and quickly turned around. The wooden door was opened, while the grandma she saw yesterday wore a black cotton robe and stood at the door with a fan in her hand as she waved at her to come over.
"Grandma, I have something that needs your help!"
"Come in first." the old lady seemed to have guessed the reason why she came, and went inside without saying much.
She quickly followed her. When she entered into the old tile-roofed house, she immediately felt a strand of cold air blowing around her. She abruptly covered her arm full of gooseb.u.mps, and hastily continued to follow the old lady closely in dread.
The light inside the old house was very dim. The old lady brought Xu Wan to enter a simple room. There weren"t many furnis.h.i.+ngs inside, only a row of bookshelves, a square table and a few scrolls of painting hanging on the wall.
"Come, sit down. Drink some water to disperse the heat." The old lady busied herself while softly telling Xu Wan to sit on one of the stools nearby.
"Thank you." Xu Wan replied politely.
Holding a cup of water, Xu Wan slowly drank a few mouthfuls to quench her parched throat and secretly looked at the row of bookshelves. In this vast and modern society, there weren"t many that own these many rows of books anymore.
When the old lady came back, she took out a brush and paper and sat down next to Xu Wan. She smiled as she picked up the brush, dipped it with ink and elegantly wrote, filling the paper.
"This character is quite familiar. If I"m not wrong, it should be read "phoenix", right?" Xu Wan was suddenly interested and chimed in excitedly.
Xu Wan who has a deep interest in ancient literature, had already developed a good skill since she was still a child, thus she could roughly recognize the calligraphy style of the Northern Dynasties.
The old lady nodded as she put down the brush in her hand and said, "This is the name given to the young girl by a Northern Qi Dynasty"s marquis Huai Yin and his wife, the Elder Princess Yong Kang. That girl was a WenZhu, surnamed Yan and named Luan."
Xu Wan was surprised: "Isn"t that the historically famous Mi Yang WenZhu, Yan Luan?"
