I’m An All Stars System - Chapter 32 3.3 Star Flute Player
Tian He suddenly sensed the slight overbearing aura that came down upon her and her hands clenched tighter onto her red skirt due to the tiny crushing pain her body felt.
She became angry inside, damn it! This husbands of hers was being unreasonable, it was plain obvious that she didn’t want to sleep with him, doing this was just forcing her to admit her lie and agree to bedding with him. She needed him to stop before this small weak body of hers gets crushed.
She stared into his eyes and spoke in the calmest tone she could muster, “Lord Husband, Ming Yue apologizes if I have offended you in any way, but please lift your strong aura from me, as you know, Ming Yue doesn’t know any martial arts and can’t bear your strong pressure.” Since this husband of hers was stubborn in having her sleep with him, she really didn’t want to keep up these false pretenses any longer.
Bing Wen saw her strong front even though he deliberately released his strong aura on her and raised his eyebrows in surprise, this small concubine of his really has the guts to defy him. He suddenly couldn’t help but let out a chuckle in amusement, interesting, this one is really interesting. He couldn’t believe that he got easily angered by just a small concubine’s refusal of him. He realized that this was not like him at all, even if the other concubines were to refuse him, he doubted that he would act so out of character because of it.
Then, that just leaves the question, was it only different because it was her that refused him?
His mind suddenly became stuck in his thoughts, if this was true, why exactly did he act this way and what caused it? His sudden thoughts became occupied with figuring out this strange mystery about himself and didn’t pay attention to the impatient concubine of his in front of him.
Tian He saw that he didn’t reply to her words and his eyes that were clearly thinking about something else rather than wanting to answer her. All of a sudden, she had the impulse to hit his face for his rudeness, since I was polite enough to request you and address you, the least you can do is respond in kind. Even if I’m just a concubine, there was a limit to a person’s patience.
However, right when she was going to interrupt his thoughts, she heard him speak.
“Beloved concubine, it seems my attitude to you earlier was a bit rude and I apologize for that. Since beloved concubine is feeling unwell, I shall postpone our wedding night to another day and hope that beloved concubine will take care of her health.” Although he didn’t manage to figure out the reason for his abrupt change in emotions because of her, he still calmed himself down and thought about the possibilities.
However, he only knew that since her flute playing was quite nice to listen to and his heart actually felt a bit at peace when he listened to it earlier, he concluded that maybe her refusal to bed him had caused him to feel her alienation and that was what gave him a not so quite good feeling inside his heart. Although he wouldn’t admit it, he quite liked the feeling her flute playing brought him because the joys and sadness expressed in it made his heart give birth to a small pleasant feeling inside.
Also, it never crossed his mind that he might have started to care for this insignificant concubine of his, after all, she was just a person that his advisor had picked out to supposably help him treat his illness. After it is concluded that her flute playing skills are no longer useful in helping him feel relaxed, he’ll just move onto the next concubine his advisor will bring.
So, whether she decides to bed him or not, isn’t important anymore, and judging by her earlier stubborn refusal of him, he was almost certain that her heart already held another. Since he’s not one to care enough to force himself upon the opposite sex, he might just let her go after he deems that her flute playing is no longer helpful towards calming his heart.
However, right when he thought of this fact, he suddenly felt a sharp stabbing pain in his heart, almost like it was being pierced by something fatal, causing his heart to throb painfully at the unbearable sensation. His shaking hands automatically moved towards his chest, wanting to grasp a hold of it in hopes of relieving this sudden pain.
Besides the sweat that was starting to drop from his forehead, he was also beginning to focus on the reasons for this sudden pain. His thoughts rapidly fluctuated as he thought of multiple possibilities, but the only one he could come up with to fit this sudden event was that he might have been poisoned. If that was true, then who poisoned him and what was he poisoned with that his strong physique couldn’t even resist?
Although the pain was still continuing, and his body was uncontrollably shaking, he still was able to gauge that even though his heart felt like it might tear at any moment, his body was still intact, and he wasn’t puking any blood which the common symptom of poisoning is, and suddenly, he begun to doubt whether he was actually poisoned or not.
Tian He was immediately relieved when she felt his overbearing aura retract from her body and was about to excuse herself to leave but she then saw his face suddenly contort in agony and his rapidly shaking body, and was struck dumb by this scene, she couldn’t comprehend what was happening to him. However, when she saw him place his hands over his chest area, she knew that he must be experiencing some kind of pain in his heart.
It can’t be that he was poisoned, right? Or else why would a strong man like him suddenly show such a painful expression?
Her thoughts rapidly went through everything she knew about the main story that was given to her by the main system and immediately the idea that he was poisoned was vetoed because the original owner’s husband was never involved in any poison event, living way past the original owner.
Then, what could be causing him this sort of agonizing pain?
Since she couldn’t just stand there, she immediately turned around to go out to call for help, however; she didn’t get far when she felt a strong tug on her arm and her body was forcefully pulled back. When she came to from the dizziness the rapid momentum of his tug caused, she found herself stuck against a large and powerful embrace. Her heart felt immediate dislike and she instinctively tried to struggle out of it but his arms just wrapped around her more securely, forcing her to give up this futile escape.
Damn it! Wasn’t he poisoned and on the verge of collapsing? How come he had so much strength to move and imprison her like this?!
When she wanted to tell him to release her because the dislike for his touch on her was increasing, she suddenly heard him whisper into her sensitive ears.
“Don’t leave.” His low voice that almost sounded painful entered her ears.
Right then and there, her body froze up from the tone of his voice, it sounded in so much pain and loss that her body automatically obeyed. It felt like a shock ran through her body through those words, she didn’t know why her heart also felt a bit guilty after hearing him say those words too.
This was beyond her cognition and her mind immediately became confused, at one moment her mind was telling her to fight him but, in another moment, her body that was about to obey her, stopped moving because of the sudden guilt that plagued her heart. It was so contradicting that she just stood there for him to embrace her.
Bing Wen didn’t know what overcame him earlier but when he saw her turn her back towards him, his hands automatically stretched out to drag her back before he could think of the reason why. When he finally had her in his embrace, he didn’t know why but his arms wanted to keep hugging her, there was this strong urge in him that didn’t want him to let go, and it also seemed that the earlier pain in his heart had subsided after he felt the warmth of her small body in his embrace.
Before he could comprehend why he was feeling this way, the urge suddenly increased when he felt her struggling against his hold and his heart immediately gave birth to an unwilling feeling, forcing him to tighten his hold on her. Without thinking, he voiced his thoughts out to her to not leave him. Surprisingly, his words might have affected her because he felt her struggling cease and without knowing why, his heart felt more relaxed at her acceptance.
After feeling her warmth and smelling the sudden sweet honey scent that came from her, his heart incidentally felt even more at peace than he ever felt before, it was like it had finally found something it had long lost and needed to keep forever. This type of feeling came so suddenly that he didn’t know what else to do besides to continue to hug her warm small body.
Unbeknownst to the both of them, right when Bing Wen requested her not to leave him, dark flames briefly appeared inside his eyes, dancing wildly within them for a moment before they quickly disappeared after sensing something. Somehow, it looks like something had triggered their appearance but sensing that everything was now settled, it automatically resided back into its hiding place, waiting for the day it will be used again.
After a brief moment, Tian He’s body finally felt like it was freed, and she was in control again, the small guilty feeling that appeared inside her heart seem to have disappeared too, and she could finally relax. Although she felt that being in this husband’s embrace was strange, for some reason, she no longer felt that much dislike for his touch, maybe it was because of how her heart had somehow accepted it earlier, or maybe she just didn’t want to try to struggle out of his embrace just in case that guilty feeling appeared in heart again.
She really couldn’t understand herself and this sudden strange guilty feeling that appeared inside her heart after hearing him say those words. Either way, since she was already in his embrace, the only way she could get him to let go of her was to voice out her request instead of using force to try to futilely escape out of his arms.
She moved her head up to try to look at him who had his head buried in her neck and softly spoke, “Lord Husband, could you please release Ming Yue? I promise I won’t try to exit the room again.” She added that last part just in case he wouldn’t let her go.
Bing Wen was immersed in the smell of her sweet honey scent and natural body warmth in his embrace when he suddenly heard her say such words that contradicted his intention.
“Oh? Beloved concubine, but I feel that we are communicating better like this. This could also be treated as me compensating you for my earlier rudeness.” Of course, now that he felt so comfortable with her in his embrace, there was no way he is letting go anytime soon, his heart had never felt so at peace before.
Feeling the strong hold still around her and hearing his shameless words, she really had the urge to hurl, how can he be so shameless and say those words without an ounce of guilt within in him?! However, before she could reprimand him, she suddenly felt his warm hands on her waist and back start to move, one towards her breast area and the other down towards her butt. And like a lightning bolt that had struck her head, all the thoughts of her heart not disliking his touch earlier was immediately swept away and she rapidly started to struggle against his hold again.
“Lord Husband!” Her hands were pushing as hard as she could against his chest to try to leave his embrace.
Bing Wen wrinkled his brows in annoyance at her struggle against his touch and couldn’t help but voice out his complaints.
“Beloved concubine, be good and please stop moving. Your husband is trying to graciously repay you with my actions for his earlier rudeness.” There’s no way he’ll stop touching her, her warm body and sweet honey scent was making his heart feel incredibly pleasant with each touch of her, especially the soft and bouncy feeling on her breasts and butt.
When she heard him utter such words that made it seem like he was doing her a favor instead and felt his unruly hands squeeze her breasts and butt, she let go the restraints she had in her mind and rapidly moved her foot to stomp on his while moving her other leg up so that her knee will knock on his private parts.
She felt so embarrassed and angry, she really had enough of this husband’s shameless actions and words.
Bing Wen felt her movement towards his private parts and immediately used his legs to counteracts hers, locking them in place before she could do any serious damage. Smiling contently for his accomplishment, he looked down at her blushing face that was now fuming at him.
“Beloved concubine, it’s not good to move too much since you are unwell. It’s better to leave everything to your husband, I promise that this compensation of mine to you would be worth your while.” He didn’t wait for her response and directly lifted her up from the ground before making his way towards his bed.
“Ah!” She was totally caught off guard with his sudden actions of carrying her.
However, before she could struggle free from his grasp, she felt a free-falling feeling when she was abruptly thrown on the large red-colored bed by him. Her head immediately slammed onto the pillows, making her mind feel a bit dizzy from the impact and causing her reaction to be delayed when she suddenly found him on top of her.
She tried to clear her mind before speaking, “L-Lord Husband, please wait. Ming Yue really isn’t feeling well enough to accompany you in bed activities.” Even if her heart had felt that strange feeling earlier from his touch, making her not detest it as much as before, she still knew that her one and only love could only be her elder brother. No one else could touch her.
Seeing her reluctance to his touch, he grew a bit irritated but didn’t take it to heart. Since they were already husband and wife, it was only natural that he could touch her. Besides, after feeling her warmth against his body and breathing in that sweet honey scent of hers, he felt like his heart couldn’t get enough of that pleasant feeling that appeared and wanted to feel more of it.
“Beloved concubine, please rest assured. Since you are not feeling up to performing our wedding night together, I won’t exhaust too much of your body tonight.” He seriously looked at her while speaking his honest thoughts.
If it wasn’t because he felt that his heart was really at peace when he was with her and the fact that the thought of forcing her would make his heart feel distressed, he would have abandoned her opinions long ago, and had his way with her. After all, he still remembered that soft and smooth feeling when he touched her breasts and butt earlier.
My god, it felt too heavenly pleasant to just stop at touching, but since she didn’t want to, he won’t use force on her, instead, he felt like he could actually grow some patience for this concubine of his. Even if she had someone in her heart, she was now his concubine, there was no way anyone could change that, he’ll make sure of it.
Tian He felt like talking to this husband of hers who seem to have a hole in his brain was too tiring. Her meaning was made quite clear in her words, and he was still trying twist it to fit his needs. Honestly, she had seen shameless before, but this was a whole other level compared to the others. She really had the urge to slap him away, but she knew that her weak arms are no match for his strength and her only way to persuade him not to touch her with her words appears to not work either, really, she was running out of options.
“Lord husband, please let’s just retire for the night, Ming Yue is already exhausted by today’s events.” Since her pleas weren’t working, she’ll have to relent a little since this husband of hers seems to like touching and sniffing her.
After hearing her refusal for him twice in a row, he felt that if he continued with his actions of touching her, she might really start to hate him and that was something he had come to dislike after some deliberations with his earlier thoughts on the pleasant yet peaceful he felt in his heart.
“Sighs, beloved concubine, since you insist on your stubborn refusal, I’ll compromise just this once and we’ll retire for the night together.” Since she didn’t suggest sleeping in separate beds even though he knew that she didn’t like his touch for some reason, he decided to let her go for now and won’t mention moving either while directly moving to her side to wrap his arms around her so that she was snuggled deep into his embrace.
“Beloved concubine, we shall sleep like this since you’ve suggested it. My body heat will also be able to help keep your body warm, so you won’t fall ill, after all, you are too unwell to do any lovemaking with your husband right now.” He deliberately stressed this fact to make her feel guilty for leaving his desires unrelieved.
Tian He felt so frustrated by his words that she felt like exploding but at the same time she didn’t have an outlet to vent it so all of it just built up inside of her, making her feel immensely aggrieved. And since she couldn’t move away from his embrace because she absolutely didn’t want to lose this body’s purity to him right now, she could only relent and let his strong warm arms embrace her. However, she swore that once she got the chance, she’ll smack him as hard as she could for being so unreasonable towards her.
After he felt her acceptance and didn’t feel her struggle against his embrace, his heart couldn’t help but feel a bit good, at least in this way, he could still enjoy her warmth and smell her nice honey scent.
When he saw her eyes closed, he automatically moved his hand behind her head and brought it close to his mouth, directly kissing her forehead with it. He relished in the smoothness of her skin on his mouth, staying there briefly before reluctantly letting go and placing his hand around her back again.
Tian He felt the soft familiar warm touch on her forehead and her body couldn’t help but freeze up, waves of confusion and shock kept brushing against her heart, making it hard for her to comprehend why she would feel this way at this husband’s of hers touch. She wanted to deny this overly comfortable and familiar feeling that came with his touch, but the madly pounding of her heart was the best evidence to this feeling.
She was really confused now, why did he suddenly kiss her forehead? And why did her heart feel like it felt so familiar? It couldn’t be that she felt it before since this was the first time she met him, but at the same time, that doesn’t explain the familiar feeling her heart felt either.
Somehow, she felt like she had the clue to solve this mystery, but her mind was trying its best to deny it since it was an impossible fact. What exactly could this mean?
