Chapter 73: That Help
The night was already deep. As his eyes slowly got used to the darkness, Xiao Yuze could vaguely see some things.
But his attention was not on that at all. Mu Le’s warm breathing brushed against his neck from time to time, bringing a strange, ticklish feeling.
And the soft warmth lightly pressing against him made the desire inside him, which had never faded, grow even stronger.
“Lele?”
After who knew how long, Xiao Yuze finally understood what it meant for time to feel like it was passing painfully slowly. He had never known that trying to fall asleep could be this difficult. In the end, he couldn’t help but call her name softly.
But Mu Le did not respond. Her steady breathing showed that she had probably already fallen asleep.
She really fell asleep just like that?
While feeling helpless, Xiao Yuze also couldn’t help but admire how carefree the girl in his arms was.
In this kind of situation, being able to fall asleep so quickly was something most people probably couldn’t do.
But while Mu Le was asleep, Xiao Yuze had no sleepiness at all. He even started to wonder if he might end up with insomnia like this.
After calling her a few more times without any response, he finally had to accept that Mu Le was truly asleep.
Feeling the growing discomfort in his lower body, he could already imagine how bad his expression must look right now.
Should he just endure it until tomorrow?
If possible, that would naturally be the best choice.
But the problem was… it was really too uncomfortable. If he were alone, it might be easier. But in this situation…
Taking a deep breath, Xiao Yuze forced himself to hold back the impulse to pull the girl in his arms closer and lose control.
But once such thoughts started, they became harder and harder to stop.
Could it be… that he could only deal with it by himself?
Just thinking about it made him feel miserable.
But right now, it seemed like the only option. Otherwise, he really couldn’t guarantee that he could fall asleep peacefully.
After taking another deep breath, a slightly dangerous look appeared in his eyes.
It turns out that when people hold something in for too long, they might end up doing things they normally wouldn’t do, or wouldn’t even dare to do.
This was also true for desire.
In a situation like this, who would want to deal with it alone?
After all, it felt quite miserable. At least for a man, it was embarrassing.
The person he liked was sleeping right next to him, and yet he had to deal with everything by himself…
Just thinking about it made him feel frustrated.
So even if he really had no choice, he still wanted to at least ease his feelings a little first.
Although he hesitated, the growing desire inside him eventually made him follow his instincts.
“You were the one tempting me… and I’m not exactly a good person,” he muttered to himself.
His fingers slipped under her sleepwear, moving along her back.
He gently rubbed it, and the soft, smooth feeling made his breathing grow heavier.
Without stopping, his hand slowly moved lower, slipping past the loose fabric of her pants, then gently holding and touching her soft hips.
The feeling in his hand was smooth and soft, almost like soft dough, making it hard to let go.
Xiao Yuze took a deep breath, then couldn’t help but give a bitter smile.
Was this considered inappropriate?
But it really wasn’t his fault. He felt like the tension in his body was about to explode. If he didn’t do something to distract himself, he might really lose control.
And if he didn’t find some way to release it, he might even start to wonder if something was wrong with him.
So even though he felt a bit guilty, his hands did not hesitate.
And just as his other hand slipped into Mu Le’s sleepwear, about to do more…
“Hey, Aze… are you really that uncomfortable?”
The sudden soft voice made Xiao Yuze freeze.
After a long silence, he finally said helplessly, “…Lele, were you pretending to sleep?”
“It’s obviously because your movements were too big, okay?! You even squeezed my butt until it hurt. How could I possibly sleep like that?!”
Even though he couldn’t see her face, her voice clearly showed she was a little embarrassed and annoyed.
“And… can your hand stop now?”
Feeling that hand still gently moving behind her, Mu Le almost wanted to bite him.
Only then did Xiao Yuze finally stop, though a bit reluctantly, and pulled his hand back.
His quick reaction actually made Mu Le feel a little curious. After thinking for a moment, she spoke again, a bit hesitantly.
“Hey… is it really that hard for you?”
“What do you think?”
“Really? Let me see.”
The moment she said that, Xiao Yuze felt a strong sense of danger.
Before he could react, his already tense lower body was suddenly held by a small hand, even through his pants.
Then Mu Le’s slightly surprised voice sounded.
“Huh? It feels much bigger than last time!”
Xiao Yuze: “…”
If not for the fact that his most sensitive spot was being held, he would have knocked on her head right away.
In the end, he took a breath and said with some difficulty, “Can you let go? Otherwise… I can’t promise what I’ll do next.”
Mu Le went quiet, but she didn’t let go like he expected. After a while, she suddenly shook her head.
“No.”
“What?”
“Aze, you turned into this… kind of big bad wolf, and I have some responsibility too, right? And if you can’t sleep, then I won’t be able to sleep either, so…”
Before she finished speaking, her small hand began to move gently.
Xiao Yuze paused for a moment, then let out a soft laugh and leaned closer to her ear.
“So… Lele wants to help me?”
“S-so what?” The light touch near her ear made her feel a strange sensation. “Otherwise, should I just let you handle it yourself?”
“I just wanted to say, this way… I don’t feel much.”
Actually, Xiao Yuze did feel something, like a bit of discomfort.
“Because of the pants?” Mu Le didn’t realize his teasing tone. After a brief pause, she understood.
Since they had already been close many times recently, she didn’t feel too shy anymore. Besides, it was dark, so she couldn’t see anything anyway.
So just as he expected, not long after, he felt her hand slip inside his pants and gently hold him directly.
The feeling was naturally very different compared to before.
As Mu Le’s hand began to move, Xiao Yuze finally couldn’t hold back. With eyes adjusted to the darkness, he found her soft lips and leaned down to kiss her deeply.
“…Mm!?”
Caught off guard, Mu Le’s hand tightened a bit, making Xiao Yuze feel a little pain.
But that only made his desire grow stronger.
Like dry wood soaked in fuel, it only needed a small spark to burst into flames.
In the night, the two of them gradually became closer, as if trying to become part of each other, until they could no longer be separated.
So intense… yet unexpectedly gentle.
As the night went on, everything became more and more hazy. Hidden by the darkness, only the fire of desire kept burning stronger and stronger.
