Xiao Lian was stunned by Jin Yu’s words and felt her care. His eyes turned sour and teary; she had always been good to her brother. “Cold, still cold, hold me tighter…” his voice choked, tinged with hoarseness.
Jin Yu’s hands were slightly stiff but caressed Xiao Lian’s back. He felt the warmth from her body and pressed closer, realizing why everyone liked being hugged by her—it was so warm. He slipped his cold hands into her clothing, finding even more heat inside. If only he had asked her to hold him before winter, he wouldn’t have felt so cold. He used to think her nightly visits tormented his brother, but being close to such a soft, warm body was comforting. No wonder his brother blushed when she came to sleep with him; he decided he would do the same. Xiao Lian giggled, caressing her, mumbling drowsily, “Soft, fragrant, this young master will cherish you…”
Jin Yu’s face stiffened, unsure whether from his words or actions. Despite often hugging and kissing Su Xi, she had never reached inside someone’s clothing to touch them. A hint of anger crossed her face.
Would he do such an indecent action if someone else were holding him?
As Xiao Lian’s hand wandered on Jin Yu’s body, she grabbed it and lowered her voice, “Sleep.” If he were Su Xi, she would pin him down and teach him boundaries. She had always cherished her men, and now she was being teased by an immature child.
Xiao Lian came to his senses, blushing and withdrawing his hands. “I… I didn’t mean to…”
“Sleep,” Jin Yu repeated.
“Oh,” Xiao Lian mumbled, leaning into her embrace, feeling a sweet warmth inside. He sweetly nuzzled against her, “Why does putting my hand on you feel so warm?”
Jin Yu held Xiao Lian’s cold hand, finding it amusing. Any cold hand would feel warm against heated skin. How could his hand be so cold?
Xiao Lian, exhausted, soon closed his eyes in Jin Yu’s embrace, murmuring, “Finally held in your arms…” With a slight smile, he nestled closer, “I want a baby too, if you give him one…” He wanted to be like his brother, to be cherished and loved.
