Chapter 105 The Flickering Life



Zhu Xiaoyue's kiss was awkward and domineering, very much in line with her own personality.

From a certain angle, Zhu Xiaoyue and Li Xiaoyao's personalities were actually very similar. They were both cold on the outside but warm inside, and extremely domineering, seeking to dominate in everything.

Li Xiaoyao turned the tables, his left palm gently wrapping around her ribs, unavoidably making contact with her body, which made Li Xiaoyao's heart flutter.

Li Xiaoyao carefully laid her down on the bed, taking care not to touch the wound on her shoulder.

Both of them closed their eyes, their tongues and teeth intertwined.

Li Xiaoyao was somewhat intoxicated by it, but when he saw Zhu Xiaoyue's somewhat dazed eyes, his mind instantly sobered up.

"Damn it," Li Xiaoyao let go of his hands, his eyes complex as he looked at Zhu Xiaoyue, whose face was filled with emotion, and said, "You're injured, intense activities aren't suitable for you."

Zhu Xiaoyue was stunned at first, then her face turned red with shame. She extended her uninjured left hand, hooked it around Li Xiaoyao's neck, and said with a domineering tone, "I'm not afraid, what are you scared of? Are you even a man?"

Zhu Xiaoyue sounded casual, but Li Xiaoyao acutely observed the changes in her facial expression and voice.

He knew that Zhu Xiaoyue's heart was not as carefree as her words suggested.

The reason Li Xiaoyao stopped midway was because he was genuinely worried about Zhu Xiaoyue's health. And from her perspective, she could easily see that this fiery woman was actually still green.

No matter how one looked at it, tonight was indeed not suitable for such activities.

Of course, Li Xiaoyao wouldn't leave. He stretched out his arms, lifting Zhu Xiaoyue up, and held her tightly, saying softly, "I just can't bear it, I'm really afraid I might break your delicate body."

Zhu Xiaoyue, being held in his arms, had red-rimmed eyes yet still spoke stubbornly, "Hmph, with the likes of you, I could take on ten men!" Discover stories with empire

Li Xiaoyao was amused by her, and lightly slapped her bottom, saying, "If you dare find another man, I'll kill all those men who touched you."

"Tch, you think you're that tough?" Zhu Xiaoyue retorted with her mouth, but her heart felt sweet.

She didn't know when her feelings for him had started, but at that moment, she was certain of her heart. She knew she liked him.

Just as she said, even if something had happened between them that night, Zhu Xiaoyue would have no regrets and wouldn't ask him to take responsibility.

A woman in love is like a surging flood, in that moment, all emotions are released. And afterwards, there would be no regrets or self-pity.

"Rest well for the next few days. Once you're healed, there will be plenty of time," Li Xiaoyao said.

After all, Zhu Xiaoyue was just a young girl. No matter how outspoken she was, when Li Xiaoyao made things clear, she still felt very shy.

"Hmph, once I'm healed, you won't have this chance anymore," Zhu Xiaoyue said, twisting her body as if to flee.

Li Xiaoyao wouldn't let her escape, his hands firmly holding her tight, saying, "Behave, rest well."

It's not that Li Xiaoyao was particularly noble; rather, he was worried that he might lose control in a moment and do something to Zhu Xiaoyue, becoming someone whose actions didn't match his words.

"Don't go to Zhang Family Village for the time being," Li Xiaoyao took the opportunity to discuss this issue with her.

Because of a kiss, the relationship between the two quickly grew closer.

Li Xiaoyao had never thought that one day, he would develop any sort of relationship with this hot-tempered female cop, yet when it happened, Li Xiaoyao looked back and realized that they had known each other for quite some time.

There was no doubt that he liked Zhu Xiaoyue.

Zhu Xiaoyue had a great figure and was also beautiful, and although sometimes she was a bit too direct and impatient, it was undeniable that she was a good girl.

What man wouldn't like such a woman?

And that recent kiss had made Li Xiaoyao understand his feelings for her.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Li Xiaoyao did like Zhu Xiaoyue in his heart, otherwise he could have simply treated Zhu Xiaoyue as a one-night stand, taken her tonight, and then walked away tomorrow without looking back.

Because he liked Zhu Xiaoyue, Li Xiaoyao hoped to do that thing in a good environment, naturally and when the time was ripe.

Although Zhu Xiaoyue was still verbally sparring with Li Xiaoyao at this moment, deep down she was willing to listen to him.

"I got it, you're so long-winded, repeating the same thing several times," Zhu Xiaoyue said with a twist of her mouth.

Li Xiaoyao puffed up his cheeks, rubbed her head, and said, "I'm warning you, girl, be nicer, or I can't promise I won't do something to you."

Zhu Xiaoyue was not at all afraid of his threat and puffed out her chest, saying, "Come on then, I dare you, I'm not afraid you won't dare!"

Li Xiaoyao was utterly convinced, this girl was too strong-willed.

After bantering for a while, Zhu Xiaoyue suddenly said, "I want to ask you something, and you must tell me the truth."

"Ask away," Li Xiaoyao said as he put Zhu Xiaoyue on the bed and walked over to the window, taking out a cigarette and a lighter.

Zhu Xiaoyue asked, "Are you planning to take over San Tiao Alley?"

Li Xiaoyao blew a smoke ring and looked at her with some surprise, counter-asking, "Who told you that?"

Zhu Xiaoyue snorted, saying, "Hu Zhi was killed in his villa, the other two big bosses in San Tiao Alley are under serious suspicion; the department has already issued an order to keep a close watch on them. And now that they're being watched, San Tiao Alley will surely be targeted by other sects for takeover. And just at this time, you show up."

Li Xiaoyao narrowed his eyes and asked, "You all know about my involvement in San Tiao Alley?"

Zhu Xiaoyue said, "Your one-man stand against a hundred, we've known about that for a long time."

Li Xiaoyao silently smoked his cigarette, saying nothing.

"You need to be clear about one thing, in our country, the presence of large-scale criminal organizations is firmly not tolerated. If you're just managing a few small venues, making some mischief, no one will bother you. But if you break the law or cause disorder, no one can save you."

Zhu Xiaoyue sounded as if she was advising him, or perhaps educating Li Xiaoyao, as she continued, "Our police force is very powerful. The several hundred sects of Ling City, big and small, are all under our control. If they dare to break the law, it wouldn't take more than half an hour for the police to be right in front of them!"

Li Xiaoyao exhaled smoke, looking at the moon, and said, "Don't worry, I definitely won't do anything illegal or disorderly, and I won't touch anything illegal. I'm just an ordinary citizen. If I can have a few venues that give me a steady income every month, I'll be satisfied."

Zhu Xiaoyue looked at him, nodded, and said, "That would be for the best."

As he finished his cigarette, Li Xiaoyao flicked it away. In the darkness, it traced an arc. The still burning cigarette, flickering on and off, was much like Li Xiaoyao's life.
