Chapter 172 Kissed Him Desperately

Jiang Ciyou naturally had a bit of a cleanliness quirk.

Ever since coming here, there had been nowhere to take a proper bath.

Although she could soak in the seawater, she still felt uncomfortable all over.

She suddenly remembered the small stream she had discovered on the first day when she was looking for mushrooms with Si Yufeng and Bo Jinxiu.

The stream was freshwater.

Its source was a mountain, with a waterfall cascading down to form a deep pool at the foot of the mountain.

At that time, when Jiang Ciyou first saw it, she had been struck by the clarity of the pool water.

Jiang Ciyou decided to go there and take a bath.

Relying on her memory from that first day, she did not make too many detours.

Half an hour later, she found that touch of clear pool water.

During the day, the bottom of the pool was almost completely visible.

But at this moment, it was shrouded in darkness.

The moonlight flickered and waned.

Yet one could still make out the deep blue, gloomy, rippling light.

The waterfall cascaded downward.

The sound of the pouring water was not noisy at all, resembling a symphony amidst the tranquil night.

Jiang Ciyou was already growing impatient.

She placed her clothes in a concealed patch of grass on the riverbank.

Then she shed her garments and slowly walked into the pool.

The pool water was not as icy as she had imagined; instead, it felt somewhat lukewarm and gentle.

When her entire body was immersed in the pool, Jiang Ciyou wanted to sigh with comfort.

She began to swim freely in the pool.

A gentle evening breeze blew, rustling the leaves in the forest.

Clouds drifted across the sky.

The moon occasionally hid behind the clouds and sometimes hung among the tree tips.

As Jiang Ciyou swam freely in the pool, her jade-like, glowing skin seemed enveloped in a soft halo, looking just like a mermaid, embraced by the moonlight and swathed in the darkness.

Jiang Ciyou felt exhilarated and fully satisfied.

However, good times did not last long.

Amidst the darkness, a human figure was faintly visible, accompanied by some subtle sounds.

"Who's there!"

Jiang Ciyou quickly turned around, submerging her body into the pool water, leaving only her head exposed on the surface.

The clouds retreated.

The moonlight poured down.

Under the moonlight, an extremely familiar, handsome face was revealed.

Bo Jinxiu was also bare-chested at this moment.

Half of his body was in the water.

With his arms crossed, he leaned halfway against a bluestone slab.

His gaze was fixed unblinkingly in Jiang Ciyou's direction.

His eyes were deep, yet there was no particular expression on his face.

So quiet and gloomy, as if he were about to melt into the night.

Jiang Ciyou was startled, and immediately a trace of obvious anger welled up on her face.

"Bo Jinxiu, what are you doing here?"

Bo Jinxiu's expression remained calm, but his deep eyes were like the night sky—profound and unpredictable.

He did not move, still leaning against the stone wall.

His voice, however, was somewhat hoarse: "I should be the one asking you that."

Jiang Ciyou seemed to have realized something, and the anger on her face grew even more pronounced.

"Bo Jinxiu, you're peeping at me while I bathe."

"I am not," Bo Jinxiu denied.

The next second, the corners of his mouth curved up slightly: "I am obviously looking at you openly and aboveboard."

The anger that Jiang Ciyou had been suppressing surged up all at once.

She swam straight toward Bo Jinxiu's direction.

Today, she was determined to teach this scoundrel a proper lesson.

Jiang Ciyou appeared half a meter away from Bo Jinxiu.

She originally intended to grab his arm and dislocate it directly on the spot.

Unexpectedly, Bo Jinxiu had been prepared all along.

Before Jiang Ciyou could even reach out her arm, he took the initiative and struck first.

He stood up directly.

With a long reach of his arm, he pulled Jiang Ciyou's waist toward him, lifting her out of the water.

Then, with a swift turn, he clamped his hands around her waist and pressed her against the bluestone slab.

Next, his entire body pressed close against hers with almost no gap left between them.

For a brief second, Jiang Ciyou was completely dumbfounded.

In her eyes, Bo Jinxiu had always been a frail, weak scholar who lacked the strength to truss a chicken.

Since when could he effortlessly neutralize her strength and suppress her to the point where she could not move at all?

Jiang Ciyou reached out, wanting to resist.

However, the back of her hand was pinned against her own waist, pressed flat against the bluestone, leaving her utterly unable to pull it free.

One could easily imagine just how heavy the force was that he was pressing onto her body.

Of course, Jiang Ciyou was not about to give up.

She struggled desperately, trying to wrench her hand free.

"Stop moving, or I don't know what I might do."

Bo Jinxiu's voice was low and hoarse, carrying a trace of desire that Jiang Ciyou was all too familiar with.

Jiang Ciyou suddenly regained her rationality, abruptly realizing what kind of situation she was currently in.

Both she and Bo Jinxiu were practically devoid of clothing.

Half of their bodies were exposed to the air, while the other half was swallowed by the deep pool water.

And at this moment, Bo Jinxiu's body was pressed tightly against hers.

Skin touched skin, and the temperature was escalating rapidly.

This was almost an uncontrollable bodily instinct.

Jiang Ciyou could feel that Bo Jinxiu's body was as scalding and scorching as a piece of red-hot iron.

His breathing also grew increasingly hurried.

Jiang Ciyou's gaze involuntarily fell upon his face.

That handsome, outrageously striking face possessed sharp angles, and the curve of his jaw looked as though it had been carved by a knife and chiseled by an axe, impossibly perfect.

His obsidian-like deep eyes currently looked as though they were burning with a raging flame.

His brows were slightly furrowed, bearing an expression of restraint and forbearance.

Truth be told, a man's restraint and forbearance often possessed a strange kind of charm for a woman.

In public, Bo Jinxiu always wore a well-tailored suit, keeping strangers at a distance with an air of cold asceticism.

But right now, under the moonlight, he was bare-chested, the lines of his pectoral muscles flawless.

Against the moonlight, his skin appeared even colder and fairer, yet the faintly visible veins on his arms manifested a man's most primal desire and strength.

Especially now that their bodies were pressed tightly together, Jiang Ciyou had to admit that the man before her was simply a fatal attraction to women.

Jiang Ciyou was afraid that if things continued this way, she might not be able to help herself and would throw herself at him.

Jiang Ciyou bit her lower lip, flushed with a crimson face, and averted her gaze: "Can you move away from me first?"

Yet, precisely this act of Jiang Ciyou biting her lip struck the already fragile nerves of Bo Jinxiu.

His self-control, usually so calm and measured, felt like the end of its tether at this moment.

Jiang Ciyou possessed a breathtaking, peerless countenance.

She was born with a pair of eyes as gorgeous as glazed glass, a high and exquisite nose, and lips like scarlet petals, red to the point of dripping blood...

At this moment, her lower lip had been bitten out of shape by her, appearing exceptionally bewitching and alluring.

The woman before her possessed an exquisite visage, her wet hair draped over her shoulders like a mermaid fresh out of the water, breathtakingly beautiful.

Following downward from her drenched hair, the undulating scenery of her body was laid bare without reservation.

Especially now that he was pressing closely against her, feeling her snow-white skin like slippery silk, along with that unbelievable softness...

Bo Jinxiu's rationality collapsed utterly at this very instant.

He lowered his head abruptly and, disregarding everything else, kissed her fiercely...
