Chapter 1049: I Take That as an Invitation. You Have to Take Responsibility for Your Words.

He Yidu’s thin but scorching lips rendered Lin Shuang’s mind blank and she nearly forgot to breathe as she stiffly stood between him and the door. However, when she finally came to her senses, she instinctively put up a struggle.

With one hand, He Yidu grabbed her hands and pinned them to the door above her head while keeping her face still with the other and pressing himself against her.

Now, Lin Shuang couldn’t even move and she was surrounded by his breath.

His kisses were deep and desperate without any techniques involved. He sucked on her tongue so hard that it felt painful and numb. She got so giddy that she thought she was going to suffocate to death. Her brain couldn’t process anything as she slumped weakly against his body and relied on him for support.

It was only then that He Yidu slowed down. His tongue gently lingered in her oral cavity as he traced his fingers along the side of her face and eyebrows.

Lin Shuang gradually relaxed. Under his guidance, she unconsciously responded to him.

After some time, He Yidu finally released Lin Shuang’s lips and looked at her in a trance with eyes darker than they had ever been while she panted so softly. She had never been so out of oxygen even when people were chasing after her to kill her.

He Yidu bent slightly to rest his forehead against hers, his breath unsteady. “Listen to me and call off that engagement.”

“No, no, no!” Lin Shuang insisted stubbornly. D*mn it, this is too dangerous! My heart is about to leap out of my chest. I have to run!

He Yidu narrowed his eyes as he stared at her slightly flushed face and whispered into her ear, “Lin Shuang, I can hear your heart beating. You’ve fallen for me.”

Lin Shuang’s heart pounded even harder against her chest as she shot him a furious glare. “Stay away from me, and it won’t mean anymore.”

“You’ll die if it doesn’t beat,” replied He Yidu before suddenly looking at her in feigned surprise. “Am I that important to you?”

“Shut up!” Lin Shuang gnashed her teeth. Her emotions had never fluctuated so greatly before. Not wanting to talk to him, she turned her face away. “Let go.”

“But you’ll run away the moment I do,” He Yidu shot back, wanting to gain the upper hand regardless of how unreasonable he sounded.

Lin Shuang was so angry that she burst out laughing as she sized him up. “What, are you planning to stand here all night with me?”

He Yidu cocked his eyebrows. “We lie down if you want.”

“Jerk!”

“Jerk?” He Yidu smiled and pinched Lin Shuang’s chin. “But I haven’t even done anything.”

Lin Shuang’s gaze landed on his thin lips, which had gotten a bit darker, and said with a poker face, “You’ve done enough.” His lips are even stained with my lipstick.

“Is that so? Since I’ve done so much, why haven’t you opened your mouth for me?” He Yidu pressed his thumb lightly against her lips.

This action was so amorous that Lin Shuang felt like an electric current had passed through her and rendered her lips tingling. Her throat felt a little dry as well. She knew very well what this feeling was. It was like an annoying itch that scratched at her heart, and it tired her out, making her sleepy.

“It’s not enough.” He Yidu added in a gentler tone. “I have to do more.”

His feather-like voice scratched at her heart even more, and she said in irritation, “Do it then. Why are you so full of crap?”

The next second, she realized what she had said. She was so appalled that she even forgot to breathe, and it felt like an invisible hand was squeezing her heart.

The air suddenly went quiet, and she could feel He Yidu’s fingers tighten. She hesitatingly looked up, only to meet his deep and lustful eyes. The sight sent her heart racing as she pressed herself against the door. “No… That’s not what I mean…”

“I take that as an invitation. You have to take responsibility for your words,” He Yidu interrupted in a hoarse voice, his eyes frighteningly dark.

Before Lin Shuang could even figure out what he meant, his burning lips landed on hers and his tongue recklessly invaded her oral cavity as he kissed her even more aggressively than before.

Her mind was blank and her eyes widened in shock as she took in the clear view of the man’s dense and long eyelashes. Even though this was the second time she was being kissed, her body remained as stiff as before. She was passively taking in his kisses, and his skills seemed to be getting increasingly polished.

Her consciousness slowly turned foggy, and the air seemed to be on fire. In her daze, she heard He Yidu whisper, “Hug me.”

She was then suddenly lifted and carried all the way to the bedroom before she felt herself landing on a bed. As the room was pitch black, she couldn’t see He Yidu’s face clearly and could only hear his soft pants. These sounds slowly invaded her world bit by bit; they seduced and bewitched her into responding to him and falling into ecstasy.

The emotions that she had been suppressing seemed to burst out in that moment.

“Lin Shuang, I’ve never done anything out of the line before. It was the first time I ever chased someone all the way until the plane.” He Yidu’s voice sounded a little deep, and it carried hints of love and indulgence. “This is the first time I ever like someone, want to be with her, want to marry her, and want her to be a child for once so that she will believe in fairytales.”

Lin Shuang couldn’t remember what she said in response to that, for all her attention was focused on his movements. She could feel him tug at her clothes and interlocked his fingers with hers on the pillow as he brought her to an unfamiliar world.

He Yidu stared at her in disbelief when she suddenly bit him hard on his shoulder. He didn’t care whether this was her first time, but the unexpected surprise that she was still a virgin made his blood bubble with excitement.

He stroked her somewhat damp hair, trying to soothe her as gently as he could. However, as soon as he heard her moans, his eyes turned red and his rationality snapped.

…

The next day.

When Lin Shuang woke up, she felt an unfamiliar and scalding body intertwine with hers. Her eyes snapped wide open instantly, but she dared not turn her head to look. Instead, she used her peripheral vision and saw He Yidu’s head buried in the crook of her neck.

Only then did she realize what she had done last night. She closed her eyes in despair and sighed. I must’ve been out of my mind! Why did I… sleep with him?!

Lin Shuang bit her lower lip, her face filled with anguish. She stayed that way for a long while before gently lifting the blanket and carefully getting off the bed so as not to wake He Yidu up. However, she almost fell back on the bed when her legs suddenly gave way as soon as her feet touched the ground. She hurriedly steadied herself and took a moment to collect herself before picking up her clothes on the ground, wearing them, and running off.

…

When Gu Mang woke up, she received a call from the Chinese Reading Society’s Chief Editor, who wanted to meet her. The time and place were set at World Restaurant in the afternoon.

After her breakfast, Peng Yan, who had come back from Country K through the night because Lu Qi was on the run, then drove her to Capital University.

Before Gu Mang could even reach the Medical Faculty when she arrived at Capital University, she saw a group of renowned professors standing next to the stone monument in front of the building, even from afar.

The sharp-eyed Yang Tianming was the first to notice her arrival. He waved to her and shouted, “Gu Mang!”

The group immediately approached her in excitement.

Even though Gu Mang had been prepared for this, she didn’t expect so many people to come. She was immediately surrounded by them.

Peng Yan, however, dared not to move and just stood stiffly where he was. As those professors were a bunch of old people, he was afraid that his burly build might accidentally bump into one of them, which might result in them breaking a bone.

The hands behind Principal Ren’s back trembled slightly. “Miracle Doctor.”

The other professors greeted her in the same way, their eyes teary from excitement.

Chinese traditional medicine was slowly getting replaced by Western medicine with nobody inheriting the acupuncture skills and the TCM skills that had been passed down for thousands of years.

Hence, when Gu Mang appeared from nowhere to stay in Capital University and even agreed to open a Traditional Chinese Medicine Science Experimental Class, they couldn’t help getting excited at the thought of having a successor—a young and talented one at that.

Upon hearing how the professors, who were all older than her, greeted her, Gu Mang nodded at them and said in a bland but respectful and polite tone, “Just call me Gu Mang, please.”

Yang Tianming, being the person who had known Gu Mang first and seen what she was capable of on Jijing Island, was the calmest of the lot. With a smile, he said to her, “They wanted to meet you since yesterday afternoon, but you didn’t come to school.”

“I had something on,” Gu Mang replied simply.

Yang Tianming nodded in understanding. “Come, let’s go to the office.”

Everyone then looked at Gu Mang for approval, who nodded her head rather speechlessly.

At that, Peng Yan respectfully said, “Madam, I’ll take my leave now. Call me if you need anything.”

“Mm.”

…

Upon reaching Principal Ren’s office, everyone took their seats.

As they were all working in the medical field, they had a lot of common topics to talk about. They each had their own opinions in regard to some of the problems that needed to be solved during the early stages of the TCM class.

Gu Mang didn’t talk much, but when she did, it was always to the point.

Yu Mufeng, on the other hand, was at the side taking minutes.

“Select a group of people from the junior class. Chinese medicine does require more time to learn than Western medicine. Of course, we’ll have to get the students’ consent first.”

“A lot of patience is needed to learn Chinese medicine. It takes eons just to learn how to take a pulse.”

“Take it slow. We have a good start anyway. I heard from the professors of H University and M University that they have students who want to come to Capital University for their exchange.”

“It’s only natural for the other schools’ students to think that way since the Miracle Doctor is here.”

They chatted all morning. It was only at noon and after the professors had gotten Gu Mang’s contact information that they reluctantly left Capital University.

…

At World Restaurant.

Two people—the Chief Editor and Gu Mang’s former editor—from the Chinese Reading Society had shown up.

The Chief Editor muttered under his breath, “We sure are lucky to have signed God D.”

The editor nodded in agreement while holding a cup of water in a daze. “I wonder what I did in my previous life to earn the chance to be in charge of her books in this life…”

At the thought that they would soon be meeting the big shot who managed to blow up Weibo for eight consecutive times, the two took a sip of water to calm themselves down. The Lu family… If not for Dark, we wouldn’t be in contact with such a prestigious family in our lives.

They had actually thought that Gu Mang would surely ignore their request to meet, so they were surprised when she agreed to it.

Just then, the door of their private room was pushed open.

Both of them looked up in unison and saw a tall and lean girl with mile-long legs and a cold but powerful presence. She was wearing a black cap, so they couldn’t see her face clearly as her eyes were hidden in the shadows. Her pretty lips were slightly pursed, which revealed hints of her unapproachable nature. Her jawline, on the other hand, was very smooth.

Gu Mang thanked the waiter before entering the room.

The two editors immediately rose to their feet as they asked uncertainly, “God D?”

Gu Mang removed her cap, revealing her striking appearance as she nodded. “That’s me.”

The two other persons were a little dumbstruck, for they had always thought that Dark was a man. This was all because her works almost had no romance elements in them and the line between good and bad was quite blurred for the characters of her stories, with nothing being absolutely right or wrong. On top of that, given the style of writing, nobody would’ve thought that Dark was a girl, much less a thirteen-year-old girl when she wrote her first book, which propelled her to popularity. What the… This is way too sick…

Gu Mang walked over and took a seat, placing the thermal flask in her hand on the table before looking up again. She looked at the two who were still dumbly standing up. “Take a seat.”

Only then did they snap back to their senses. “O-okay…”

The two editors, who were quite shocked by Dark’s true identity, spoke with restraint at first, but the atmosphere gradually relaxed when they realized that Gu Mang was just a little taciturn, aloof, and not at all arrogant.

“God D, will you be writing another book?” The Chief Editor stared at her anxiously.

Gu Mang sipped a mouthful of honey water and said lightly, “I’m preparing it. It’s just that the genre is quite different from my previous works.”

Dark’s writing style was known to be dark, which made people evoke sentiment even more. Each piece of her works was a classic that left a deep impression on the readers’ minds, which was why she had such a large fanbase.

The new book will be of a different genre? The Chief Editor asked, “What will it be about?”

Gu Mang replied to Lu Chengzhou’s message, which was asking her about whether she had eaten, and then looked up. “Science fiction.”

“Will there still be suspense?” The Chief Editor pressed on.

“No,” answered Gu Mang with a shake of her head.

After a few seconds of silence, the Chief Editor asked, “When will you be able to deliver the script?”

“Anytime for the first book, and early next year for the second book.”

Hearing that, the two editors squeezed their chopsticks in excitement. The new book is ready?

Gu Mang took a look at the message Lu Chengzhou sent.

[Eat more. You’re too skinny.

[Go back and rest after you’re done with the meal.]

[Okay.]

After the editors managed to calm themselves down, they asked her more about the new book. “How many books will there be in total?”

Gu Mang placed her phone aside. “Two.”

The Chief Editor gave it some thought. “In that case, we’ll start preparing for the launch of the first book. We need time to prepare the paperwork and promotions.”

“Sure.”

After that, they started talking about copyrights. Once the company launched the new book, the major production companies would surely fight to get the film rights again.

“Give it to the Qin Corporation.”

“Will do,” replied the Chief Editor respectfully.

…

By the time they left World Restaurant, it was around 1 PM. After saying goodbye, the editors returned to the company, and Gu Mang slowly walked back to her apartment in the capital with headphones in her ears and her hands in her pockets.

Just then, her phone vibrated.

She took it out of her pocket and saw that it was a message from Lin Shuang.

[Gu Mang! I’m doomed! I slept with He Yidu!!!]

She had seen the messages in the QQ group chat last night and believed that there was no way Lin Shuang would be able to win against He Yidu given the way he was acting.

A few seconds later, she received another message, saying, [He seduced me first!]

As Gu Mang continued walking ahead, she typed, [Oh.]

Lin Shuang, who seemed to find that typing of messages was too slow, called Gu Mang instead. The latter heard the sound of a car door closing the moment the call connected. “Mister, to the airport, please.”

Gu Mang narrowed her eyes. “You’re running away again?”

“What do you mean ‘again’? I would be in Country D now if He Yidu hadn’t dragged me off the plane last night!” Lin Shuang stroked her curly hair, feeling the wind in her face as she recalled what He Yidu said to her last night. Believe in fairytales for once? Only a child will believe in that, but I’m not a child.

Lin Shuang lowered her voice slightly. “I can’t stay in the capital for any second longer! I have to run before it’s too late!”

“Is He Yidu that bad?” Gu Mang paused. “You’re not going to be responsible for him after sleeping with him?”

“Bad! His skills are really bad! I almost got killed by him!” Lin Shuang snapped. “That’s it for now. I’ll send you my wedding invitation when I’m getting married. Bye.”

Before the call disconnected, Gu Mang heard Lin Shuang curse, “This is a big mistake!”
