♡ TW. Dead Dove // Read at Your Own Risk ; ♡ WC. 1,108
You shouldn’t have come.
The moment you step inside, the air shifts, thick with the scent of leather, wine, and something darker. Your stomach knots. The restaurant is dim, intimate, the kind of place where secrets linger in the corners, where the candlelight flickers just enough to make shadows dance. It’s the kind of place where no one looks too closely at anything that isn’t their own business.
You shouldn’t have come.
And yet, you did. Like a fool. Like a dog answering its master’s call.
He’s already waiting.
Your boss—your cruel, insufferable boss, the man you loathe more than anything—is seated in the booth, one arm stretched over the backrest, the other lifting a glass of dark red wine to his lips. He looks up when you enter, eyes hooded, lips curling in a knowing smirk. As if he knew you wouldn’t be able to resist. As if he knew you’d come crawling the moment he beckoned.
“Sit.”
His voice is smooth, laced with something you can’t name. Something dark, something dangerous.
You hesitate. For a second. Just a second.
A mistake.
His smirk widens, as if you’ve amused him, as if he likes the way your body tenses, the way your throat bobs when you swallow. He gestures lazily to the seat across from him, but when you take a step toward it, he clicks his tongue.
“Not there.” A slow exhale. His eyes rake over you, slow, assessing. “Here.”
Your stomach lurches. You glance around, but no one’s paying attention. No one is looking. No one will help you.
You step closer.
His legs spread, just enough to make space for you, just enough to force your body to press against his when you lower yourself onto his lap. His hands are on you instantly, gripping your hips, firm, unyielding. The heat of his body bleeds through your clothes, through your skin, until it’s inside you, suffocating, cloying. His breath is warm against your ear.
“Good girl.”
Your blood runs cold.
His fingers trace slow, lazy circles over your bare thighs, inching higher, higher, until—
You stiffen.
No. No. That’s impossible. You know you wore them. You remember sliding them up your legs before you left your apartment. And yet—
Gone.
The realization slams into you, sick and dizzying. Your breath catches, horror lodging in your throat. When? How? A phantom sensation lingers on your skin, something you can’t quite grasp, something that makes your stomach twist itself into knots.
“You didn’t wear panties for me?” he muses, voice dripping with mockery. “How bold.”
Your hands shake.
He already knew. Of course he knew.
His hand slides under your skirt, fingers teasing your slit, spreading you open. You flinch, thighs trembling, but you don’t dare move, not when his other hand tightens around your waist, anchoring you to him, holding you in place. Not when the restaurant hums around you, the quiet murmur of conversation a suffocating backdrop to the filth happening right under their noses.
“That’s right,” he breathes, fingers slipping inside with humiliating ease. “Stay still. Let me feel how wet you are.”
Your whole body burns.
You want to tell him to stop. You want to shove him away. But you can’t. You can’t.
Because you know what he’ll do.
You know what kind of man he is.
His hand wraps around your throat, tilting your head back, forcing you to meet his gaze. His eyes gleam with amusement, with something darker, something cruel. The smirk on his lips sends ice down your spine.
“Don’t make a sound,” he warns, thumb pressing against the hollow of your throat, feeling the frantic pulse beneath your skin. “Or I’ll make sure everyone sees just what a little slut you are.”
Your lips part, but no sound comes out.
His fingers curl inside you, pressing against that spot that makes your body jolt, your thighs clenching around him. He chuckles, low and pleased, before pulling his fingers free, dragging them up to smear your arousal over your clit, circling slow, deliberate.
You don’t want this.
You don’t want this.
But your body betrays you, hips twitching, breath stuttering, shame coiling hot and tight in your gut.
Then—
A zipper.
Your breath catches.
No. No, no, no.
You shake your head, panic clawing up your throat, but his grip is firm, unyielding. His free hand slides down, gripping your hip, forcing you to feel it—the thick, heavy press of him against your entrance.
“Take me inside,” he orders, voice a low growl.
You don’t move. You can’t.
His hand tightens around your throat.
“Do it.”
Your body jerks as he pushes up, forcing himself inside, stretching you, splitting you open around the thick intrusion. You choke, nails digging into his shoulders, the pain sharp, blinding. He groans, low and satisfied, burying himself to the hilt, filling you, stuffing you full.
“Fuck,” he breathes against your neck. “Look at you. Taking me so fucking well.”
Your vision blurs.
It’s too much. Too deep. The position makes it impossible to adjust, impossible to breathe. Your nails bite into his suit, desperate, grasping, but he doesn’t care. He shifts, hips rolling just enough to make your body jolt, to make you whimper, a sharp, broken thing that dies in your throat before it can escape.
“Move.”
You shake your head. His grip in your hair is sudden, yanking your head back, exposing your throat. His hips snap up, sharp, punishing, and you slap a hand over your mouth, biting back a cry.
“That’s right,” he murmurs, thrusting up again, making you jolt. “You’re gonna sit here and take my cock like a good little slut, and you’re gonna smile like nothing’s wrong.”
His teeth scrape over your jaw, his voice a whisper of filth.
“Unless you want them to see.”
Your whole body tenses.
You know what he’s saying. You know he’ll do it.
So you move.
Your thighs burn as you lift yourself up, only to sink back down, your walls clenching around him. His hands grip your waist, guiding your movements, forcing you to take every inch, over and over. Every shift, every grind, every slow roll of your hips only pushes you deeper into humiliation.
“Fuck,” he groans, tilting his head back, eyes half-lidded with pleasure. “Look at you. Look how fucking desperate you are.”
You want to deny it. You want to scream. But you don’t.
Because he’ll make you regret it.
Because he always gets what he wants.
A flicker of movement catches your eye.
A phone screen.
Too late.
Your stomach drops.
Too late.
His lips brush your ear, smug, satisfied.
“Smile, sweetheart.”

Test-Phase TAG LIST of “The Red Ledger”: @yanderedrabbles
Imagine Victor having you ride him as punishment for sassing him earlier on the phone about your report, but as you slowly lower yourself on his well-endowed heat, he suddenly trusts upwards - forcing you to take all of him at once.
As you slowly start to set the pace, he places his hands on your hips and repeatedly slams you down onto his heat. You’re practically speaking in tongues, as he repeatedly hits your g-spot “You seem to be so talkative earlier, cat got your tongue?” he says with a shit-eating grin as he flips you over to your back.
“Victor, please. I-I hah. I-can-ah! Vict- it’s too big!”
He holds your tights far apart as he slows down his pace - slowly grinding into your over sensitive heat.
You could hardly breathe, let alone think. The way his thick heat split you open slowly, him holding your thighs far apart so he hit your g-spot directly everytime he trusted back inside you. You were on the brink of fainting.
- the next day.
You woke up to a text from Victor:
“I’ll push back the due date of your report; as l have a feeling you won’t be able to stand to present it.”

Transcript under the cut~
[Transcript]
[sounds of door opening + clinking of things]
I'm back.
Mm
Today's experiment
went much smoother than I expected,
so I came back early.
Just in time,
I also wanted to see you sooner.
Hmm?
What are you doing
Are these… gems?
[chuckles] I have only heard about it on the phone before
when you were filming a jewelry show
you bought a very beautiful emerald rough
[the fact that the emerald is still rough is important for the later part because it means that the edges are sharp and can cause pain-]
I just didn't expect…
there to be so many.
There's only one,
and the rest are candies?
[chuckles] So that's how it is
If I find the gem,
will it and you both belong to me?
It seems that
this is a "test" for me from my little lady.
Of course, I am willing to accept all your challenges.
However, before we begin,
I would like to understand the rules of this game.
For example,
how many chances do I have?
Or…
if I guess wrong,
what will the punishment be?
[the way he said it… man is looking forward to the punishment🤪]
Hmm?
You want to keep it a secret for now?
[chuckles]
Okay
Then…
[Lucien reaches out his hand to pick up one of the "gems", but is held back]
Am I not allowed to pick it up,
and can only observe it here?
[chuckles]
Fine
Then…
I'll choose this one.
Hmm?
Did I guess wrong?
Alright
Then can you tell me now
what the punishment is?
Close my eyes?
[some rustling noises in the background as he is being stripped open-]
[LUCIEN'S HEAVENLY PANTING AS HE'S BEING PUNISHED-]
…although when you stripped open my clothes
I probably knew what the "punishment" would be,
the "gem" you just placed on my back
is even a little colder than I imagined.
This little lady looks a bit disappointed…
Hmm?
[chuckles]
Because I don't look surprised?
Maybe it's because,
when I guessed wrong, the mischievous look in your eyes was too obvious.
[T/N: he affectionately uses the title “little classmate” (小同学); I'm using ‘you’ for better flow~]
However
Compared to my back…
The waist areas around ribs,
and lower abdomen below navel,
are densely populated with nerve endings
and are much more sensitive.
[some DELICIOUS soft moans as he’s being punished in those places-]
[breathlessly] These areas
might better achieve the effect you desire.
[hell yea I sure wonder what kind of another ”””effect””” she's looking for-]
[chuckles]
Then…
I'll continue guessing
[chuckles]
This piece has a cooler color
The cracks in the crystal are also more natural
It seems to be the one
Did I guess wrong again?
I didn't expect this game
to be more "challenging" than I imagined.
[sigh]
It seems this little classmate is going to win another round.
Bring it on.
[chuckles] You can use a bit less force.
Otherwise,
the stimulation felt by the nerve endings
will be overshadowed by other sensations
[other sensations here might refer to pain caused by too much force… pain play doesn't work as well as temperature play on him due to him canonically having an absurdly high pain threshold and is less sensitive to pain]
Just like this…
[Lucien takes one of the “gems” and runs it on her body]
Hmm?
Did it feel cold to you?
I just think that
personally experiencing this feeling
will help you do it better.
[I think he doesn't mind the pain itself, BUT if you want to give him ‘better’ punishment, focus more on the temperature play🤪]
[chuckles]
Sorry
the way you opened your eyes wide just now
was really cute.
It made me want to be a bit more "excessive."
The one I have in my hand
should be the emerald you asked me to guess.
Of course, it can't be wrong
In the emerald ore,
there are some granules and textures
Moreover
emeralds are called beryls
and are mostly in the shape of hexagonal prisms.
When you were preparing the show,
I also secretly "stole" some knowledge from you.
Did I guess wrong on purpose before?
You caught me.
Within the rules,
experiencing everything the game has to offer is what makes it enjoyable, right?
[chuckles] Don't get distracted,
look,
the candy in your hand is already starting to melt.
Although this beautiful and translucent gem
is also very captivating.
To me,
the candy in your hand is more attractive.
[sounds of him rolling the candy to his mouth and licking the melting sugar on her hand]
Although it looks just like a gemstone on the surface,
it's sweeter than I imagined.
It has a bit of a green grape flavor.
Miss Producer,
haven't you tried it yourself?
Then…
[kissing noises as he ‘shares’ the candy sensually]
Let's share the fruit of this "victory" together.
[MORE delicious kissing noises before it fades away. With him being stripped off, I think we all know where this is going iykwim-]
[CN] MLQC Lucien New Top Up SSR Karma + Date Blurb
"You are the most beautiful apple that the world has given me."
Date blurbs under the cut!
Flying across the ocean, you've arrived at the campus where he spent his master's and doctoral studies for the first time.
His classmates have gone their separate ways, but the extravagant dreams of those days have been realized.
Ponder when you have free time, and if you feel tired, just lie under the apple tree and take a rest.
No need to exert effort; sweetness will naturally fall into your embrace.
Lucien is going to the United States for a work conference, and I asked if I could take this opportunity to visit the lab where he did his master's and doctoral studies. So, I'm going with him...
"I'm wondering if an apple will fall on my head."
He says it so seriously that I find it kind of cute. On a whim, I get up, pick an apple, and then gently tap him on the head.
"Knock knock."
Lucien seems surprised by my action, the light in his pupils flickers.
"What about you?"
"Me…"
I smile sheepishly.
"I thought of a fairy tale, Prince... Snow White."
"But that's not how I remember the story?"
"Because… this is a story I imagined!"
Lucien nods thoughtfully, not minding my nonsense at all, but instead curving his eyes in a good mood.
"So, in the story, who are you?"
This question stumps me for a moment. After seriously thinking for a while, I finally speak.
"I'm the magic mirror."
"Because the magic mirror knows everything?"
"Not really, it's because the magic mirror only looks at...the prince."
"And if I were the magic mirror, I wouldn't need you to ask, I would tell you that—"
"Lucien is the most handsome, most intelligent, most amazing, and the person I love the most in the world."

"Everyone is accompanied by puzzles, it's just that some are ignorant, and some are fearless."

[Accursed Date]
The terrifying barking echoed through the dense fog, and the bloody crime scene presented a horrifying welcome to us.
Under the clear and sunny sky, murderous intent lurks within the manor. Beneath layers of schemes, who will have the last laugh?
[Trivia: His story is very likely to be inspired by "Hound of the Baskervilles"]
"The charm of thinking lies in that you will eventually come close to someone similar to you."
[CN] Li Zeyan’s MQ: Burning Imprints (Eng Translation) - Part 2

🔞 Additional Warning 🔞 Same old but more severe warning this time LOL. The steamy parts of the MQ are as explicit as they can get, i.e., some of the most explicit stuff you’ll read in a CN otome game right now, so if you don’t qualify for the game’s 17+ rating (CN server), I’d very highly recommend that you don’t proceed under the cut~ :>

【CHAPTER 5】
The pitter-patter of water in the shower ceases. I wipe my dripping wet hair as I walk to the mirror, raising my hand to clear away the damp mist from its surface.
During the movement, I inadvertently trigger a slight twinge in my sore shoulders. I let out a soft hiss and pick up my phone, intending to search for effective ways to alleviate weariness.
My peripheral vision falls upon the work group that has been silent for several days, causing me to pause mid-gaze.
I wonder if the layout of the remaining placement sites is too discreet; it seems like the progress in collecting the bracelets has hit a snag lately.
For several consecutive days, there hasn’t been anyone coming to the “Elven Emissaries” to register with their bracelets. The operations of all the other projects are running seamlessly, with no slip-ups requiring documentation.
My schedule has become increasingly free. Every day, I accompany Li Zeyan to explore the restaurants on the island, trying all kinds of dishes prepared from locally sourced ingredients.
Alternatively, we also engage in activities such as diving, parasailing and so on, having a blast to our heart’s content before returning to our little cabin hand in hand, basking in the warmth of the evening breeze.
The relaxed ambiance has gradually allowed me to unwind from the intermittent stress that work brings, making me feel as if I’m truly on vacation.
I close the browser on my phone, lazily comb through my still-damp hair with my fingertips, and push the bathroom door open a crack.
MC: Li Zeyan, my waist is still sore.
MC: Not feeling up for vigorous activities today. How about we go for a spa treatment or a Thai massage to relax instead?
There is no response in my ears, but the intermittent sound of his voice can be faintly heard.
LZY (on the call): At this stage, if the bracelet is found, just directly… no need to…
LZY (on the call): As for the remaining progress, just wait for…
Progress, bracelet… Why does it sound like this is related to the collection task?
–
Without delay, I gently push the door ajar, finding Li Zeyan seated on the chair, his gaze lowered as he looks at his iPad.
With one hand supporting his Bluetooth headset, he occasionally swipes across the screen, appearing to be ruminating about something.
Upon hearing my voice, Li Zeyan lifts his head in my direction. I point at the screen for him, silently mouthing the words––
MC: [mouthing] Let– me– have– a– look– too––
I snuggle into his arms in the most familiar practice, intending to take a closer look at what he is up to.
However, Li Zeyan smoothly turns the iPad to face the other direction, his voice maintaining its composure as he continues to inquire through the earpiece.
LZY: [gives you a teasing glance before redirecting his gaze] What’s the new development you mentioned?
Confused about what’s going on, I move myself to the side he has shifted the device to. But Li Zeyan, as if on purpose, raises his arm at an unhurried pace.
LZY: [tosses you another mischievous glance before withdrawing] Continue.
It’s quite a rare sight to have him act in such a childish manner. I freeze for a moment, my initial curiosity now spiking to its maximum.
After thinking for a while, I resort to being a rascal and simply seat myself in Li Zeyan’s lap, attempting to suppress him in this manner.
Li Zeyan’s breath hitches for a moment. The body in contact with mine tenses briefly, halting all movement.
MC: Hehe, let’s see how you dodge now~
Thinking I have succeeded in my plan, I raise my eyebrows at Li Zeyan with an air of complacency, then lift my hand to climb up his arm.
Li Zeyan supports his headset with one hand, and there isn’t a single ripple in his expression as he watches me drawing closer to him. As I move, a few drops of water drip onto his face along the ends of my still-wet hair.
Splat.
He stares in my direction, the light in his eyes now dyed with moisture. The next moment, the palm resting on the armrest suddenly lands on my waist.
LZY: [still on the call, while looking at you] Inform the others to proceed with the original plan as previously arranged.
The force around my waist suddenly tightens with his words, clamping down on my provocative actions.
Just as I’m about to struggle, the tight body under my legs shifts slightly. Accompanied by the squeaking sound of the chair moving across the floor, Li Zeyan suddenly stands up from the armchair.
MC: …!
My body suddenly loses its fulcrum, and I cling tightly to his neck with both arms, desperately exerting every effort to suppress the exclamation that’s about to escape my throat, for fear that the person on the other end of the headphones might hear something.
But he effortlessly holds me up with one arm, a practice he couldn’t be more familiar with, then begins to walk at a leisurely pace, neither too fast nor too slow.
With each step he takes, my body collides uncontrollably with his again and again. And being restrained by his control, I’m also unable to create distance between us.
I bite my lips tightly, desperately, having no alternative but to tense up my body to endure it. Despite having only covered a few steps of distance, a thin layer of sweat has already formed on my cheeks––
Until the brief sensation of falling hits me, and I land heavily on the rumpled sheets. Li Zeyan tosses the headphones aside and sits leaning in towards me.
LZY: You’re becoming more and more unscrupulous.
His breath, carrying with it a burning warmth, teasingly caresses my face, keeping at a distance that is neither too close nor too far. His dressing gown has opened slightly during our earlier movements, exposing the dark red marks on his shoulder.
My heart rate uncontrollably accelerates for a few beats.
MC: It’s all because you’ve been playing coy with me… Let me see what you’re up to!
MC: I’m a part of the staff; I won’t get in the way of you guys.
Li Zeyan doesn’t seem to pay heed to my words, casually picking up a grape from a nearby plate.
LZY: I’ve learned this from a certain someone.
LZY: When you don’t want to show me the drafts of your proposals, you are much more of a rascal than this.
As he says this, he peels off the grape skin at an unhurried pace and bites into its luscious pulp. A sheen of grape juice colors his thin lips, which he then raises his hand to wipe away.
Despite pouting at him, my curiosity still gets the better of me. I peel another grape and bring it to his lips, attempting to sound him out.
MC: Well, then, could you perhaps briefly reveal some information? Like, where do you plan to search next, or…
I’m still in the middle of speaking when a sudden burst of warmth is felt at my fingertips.
Li Zeyan bites into the grape I’ve held out, and seemingly inadvertently, his teeth graze my fingertips, sending a tingling sensation through me as if I were being electrified.
My fingertips involuntarily flinch, but my wrist is firmly caught in his grip.
My body, which was already slightly tilted, suddenly loses balance, and I tumble into his arms.
LZY: The benefits of just one grape are far from enough.
LZY: If you want to pry out information, I’ll need more sincere bargaining chips.
MC: Just the other day, I was perfectly fine with you watching me! And now, after getting my appetite whetted, you suddenly cut off any further information… you’re quite the rare being!
Li Zeyan hooks his finger on the sash of my bathrobe and slowly slides it outward.
As the fabric falls with a rustling sound, my body shivers momentarily from the cool air. Soon after, I am covered by his scorching body heat.
Gasping, I try to press my lips together, but his fingertips slip in. Unlike last time, they don’t penetrate as deep, just resting between my teeth and stopping my attempt to close my lips.
MC: W-Why are you doing this again…
LZY: Why can’t I?
A low, husky voice sounds from behind me. Though it’s a question, it carries an irresistible implication.
LZY: It’s just the two of us here now.
LZY: Don’t hold back. Let me hear you.
A layer of moisture clouds my vision. I moan uncontrollably, biting down on his finger.
MC: [dragging out between her moans] …And you point fingers at me… when clearly you’re the most unscrupulous person there is…
A loose laughter drifts from beside my ear, accompanied by a sudden penetrating weight.
LZY: [as he moves inside her x1] I thought a certain someone already knew this about me.
LZY: [x2] …go on, “accuse” me a little more.
LZY: [x3] Perhaps this way, I’d be willing to give you whatever you want.
—
——————- p.s. Interval, and as you’ll see in the 2nd next sentence, god knows how many times they did it LMFAO ——————-
—
In the end, I still couldn’t coax any words out of Li Zeyan’s mouth.
Amidst the steaming afternoon heat, we’ve worn away the better part of the day once again until even our heads felt dizzy from satisfaction.
I lazily nestle in Li Zeyan’s arms, almost wanting to ignore everything else and simply “wasting” a whole day by his side.
Until the sound of a notification alert chimes from under the pillow.
MC: [reading the text] “Two more guests dropped by in the afternoon to submit their bracelets… Currently, we’re only one bracelet away from the completion of the collection task…”
…so, in other words, the conditions for unlocking the hidden surprise could be met at any time?
I close my eyes, silently running through a few minutes of mental preparation. I push myself up from the bed and sit upright until Li Zeyan’s arm loops around my waist from behind.
LZY: [poor man LOL, laughing softly] Where are you off to now?
I instinctively want to tell him, but then remembering what he did earlier, I let out a soft “humph” instead.
MC: …I’m not telling you. But anyway, received a notification in the group, so I’m heading to the “Elves’ Home Bar” to see what’s going on.
I nudge his arm as I say this and hear him let out a sigh interspersed with a little helplessness.
LZY: [chuckles helplessly] There are quite a few employees from LFG relaxing in the entertainment area there as well.
LZY: Come on, I’ll go with you.
—
The sports car parks outside the streamlined building, and I trail behind Li Zeyan as we make our way inside. [6]
Upon pushing open the sturdy wooden door, the sound of melodious music wafts towards us.
Warm-colored lights dance around the spacious space, illuminating the distant bar counter and the dazzling lineup of floor-to-ceiling wine cabinets.
The recessed seating arrangements create the outline of semi-enclosed spaces where the employees of LFG are gathered in small groups, chatting, laughing, or playing games. The atmosphere couldn’t be more relaxed.
Catching the sound at the entrance, Goldman inadvertently glances over and, upon seeing Li Zeyan and me, sets down the cards in his hand and stands up.
Goldman: CEO Li, you’re here too.
Goldman: We have something to report to you. I wonder if it would be convenient for you to talk now?
Goldman clears his throat, his expression as serious as ever. I nod at him in greeting and whisper to Li Zeyan.
MC: Why don’t you go ahead and check it out? I happen to have some things to attend to as well~
Upon finishing my sentence, I swiftly make my way to the back of the bar counter and find a staff member. I cast a quick glance towards Li Zeyan, then quietly inquire in a lowered voice.
MC: How’s the progress on the collection task now?
The staff behind the counter slides a glass of champagne over to me and answers in a similarly hushed tone.
Staff Member: The progress is still stuck where it was in the latest report, but something is a little off.
Staff Member: Clearly, we’re just one bracelet away from completion, but they seem to have lost their drive, and they’ve been here playing cards and board games… Could it be that the difficulty is too high and it’s affecting their motivation?
I take the champagne and ponder for a moment as I take a sip.
MC: But given the amount of countermeasures they came up with before, they won’t give up halfway… they must have some other plan.
MC: I’ll find another opportunity to look into the situation. If it’s really because of the design of the hiding spots being obstructive, I’ll have the staff controlling the lights make adjustments.
As I say this, my gaze drifts towards those people chatting and laughing relaxedly in the distance, and I inadvertently lock eyes with Li Zeyan.
The person next to him seems to have just finished a game, and a ripple of laughter passes from the group. Another person sorts out the deck of cards and asks Li Zeyan if he is interested in joining.
Li Zeyan sets down his wine glass and suddenly looks in my direction.
My heart skips a beat as I hear him speaking in a calm voice.
LZY: I will fancy a game, actually––
LZY: ––If the “Elven Emissary” over there is willing to accept my challenge.

[6] ! NERDING ALERT LOL. The architectural name of the building design is more popularly known as “Streamline Moderne.” Though the geometric shapes and curves make these structures look futuristic, these designs actually emerged in the 1920s and reached their peak in the 1930s-40s, and are known to be timeless. I do want to applaud Li Zeyan’s content team b/c this was such a little detail effortlessly tied with his car model- the Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing (produced from 1954-57). Widely known to be another timeless classic and a groundbreaking car for its time– kudos to his team for never failing to incorporate such subtle details, though unfortunately, I can’t gush about each and every one of them b/c that will turn bigger than the MQ translation itself ahah. also, not LZY being the only guy who got his car drawn into the event special background arts LMAO 💸😂

【CHAPTER 5, INTERWOVEN EMOTIONS】
[Tidbits]: This is a bonus chapter (equivalent to the memory silhouette in SP MQs), described in the narrator’s POV, comprising moments before Chapter 6~ 🥺
────────
Set against melodious background music, a rather ostentatious scene unfolds on the movie screen.
The protagonist’s eyes shimmer with tears as they are about to deliver a passionate confession of love, and just at this moment, several indistinct murmurs sound from beside him.
Li Zeyan turns his head to look at the girl sleeping soundly next to him and chuckles softly.
The movie being screened at the island’s movie theater today is a classic example of a crowd-pleaser but lacking substance–– a grand setting with overly dramatic plotlines.
Despite the fact that this genre of film isn’t the girl’s cup of tea, she was the one who spontaneously suggested coming here. And sure enough, she nodded off halfway through.
LZY: [smiles helplessly] …
He sighs almost inaudibly, his gaze fixed on the gentle play of light dancing through the girl’s long eyelashes, casting a subtle shadow under her eyes.
These days, she often has to juggle work responsibilities now and then, and she clearly hasn’t let herself relax properly.
At the moment, the person really basking in the enjoyment of his vacation is just him alone.
Li Zeyan lowers his gaze and picks up the blanket nearby, draping it over the girl so that she can sleep more soundly.
Buzz—
His phone’s notification suddenly rings out for a moment, only to be silenced as he swiftly presses the mute button.
Li Zeyan walks out of the screening room with light footsteps and closes the door behind him before answering the call. Goldman’s voice sounds on the other end.
Goldman: CEO, we’ve got a handle on the locations of the remaining bracelets. It’s only the whereabouts of the last one we haven’t been able to track down, as of now.
Goldman: Would you want to consider mobilizing the rest of the employees and get them to participate as well?
LZY: No need. They’re all on vacation now. Let everyone who wants to unwind enjoy their time off peacefully.
LZY: Those who are interested can continue exploring in their leisure time, but do not put any pressure on them either.
LZY: Inform them using your account. Just updating the group with the clues that have been found will suffice. I’ll keep up the search.
Upon receiving a response from the other end of the line, Li Zeyan ends the call and walks in the direction of the screening room at an unhurried pace.
The project area along the coast and the highly popular tourist spots have been searched and ruled out one by one over the past few days… The location of the last bracelet seems to be a little too discreet.
Li Zeyan’s fingertips absentmindedly trace the phone’s surface, the sound of the girl’s expectant voice playing in his mind.
“‘The harvest reaped from a certain someone’s efforts during this time has indeed been worthwhile.’… I want to hear you say these words personally after seeing the surprise.~”
LZY: [laughs helplessly] …The difficulty level is set rather too high for a vacation experience.
Even as Li Zeyan murmurs his discontent under his breath, there is a touch of gentleness in his eyes.
He has closely witnessed the hard work the girl put into this project in recent days. And if he can help it, he doesn’t want her dedication to go in vain.
And even though she hasn’t said anything directly on purpose, she’s been occasionally dropping hints that “she wants this task to be realized as soon as possible”— whether it’s through her words or through deliberate or inadvertent actions…
Li Zeyan’s steps come to an abrupt stop.
The screening schedule for the theater is arranged early in the morning. She should have already known from the outset that the content of this film wasn’t something she’d be interested in.
Given that, why was she insistent on bringing him here?
After contemplating for a moment, Li Zeyan lifts his foot and changes his direction. He doesn’t enter the screening room and instead returns along the path he had taken with the girl.
Before long, he comes to a stop on the stairs of the theater.
LZY: [extremely helplessly and indulgently] Dummy.
Li Zeyan says softly, his voice tinged with the gentle hint of a smile.
A beaded coconut shell bracelet hangs quietly on the railing above, a lustrous sheen haloing it.

【CHAPTER 6】
After only a brief moment of contemplation, I stand up and take a seat at the other end of the round table where Li Zeyan is sitting, ready to hear the rules––
First, both parties will receive five cards each, which will remain undisclosed. Upon obtaining the cards, each party can choose to propose to exchange some of their cards with a third party or keep them as they are. Then, they will proceed with placing the bets.
Once everything is finalized, the cards will be revealed, and victory will be determined by comparing the ranks of the card combination.
The rules don’t sound that complicated, so I nod to Goldman, signaling that we can begin.
The shimmering yellow glow of the light dances on the marble table top. After a brief shuffle, five cards are respectively placed in front of me and Li Zeyan.
MC: You know, we haven’t yet decided what the wager should be.
In order to test the waters, I intentionally speak up, watching as he calmly flips his cards over, shooting me a glance.
LZY: How about a wish?
LZY: Even if it doesn’t comply with the “rules” of this island, we still have to fulfill for the other person.
Whether intentionally or otherwise, his pronunciation of the word “rules” seems to carry extra emphasis. I blink, and a realization suddenly strikes me.
The progress of the bracelet collection task has currently hit a snag… Perhaps Li Zeyan wants to gain clues through this method?
MC: Yeah, sure thing.
Saying this, I glance at my own cards, my heart pounding in my chest. To my surprise, luck has favored me this round–– I have Two Pair among the five cards.
Out of the corner of my eye, I watch him intermittently tapping his fingertips on the table. Displaying such subtle gestures of contemplation likely means his cards aren’t as good.
I have to seize this opportunity and compromise a little bit.
MC: I want to swap cards.
LZY: [simultaneously] I want to swap cards.
As the deep, heavy hum of the music interweaves, our voices coincidentally collide with each other. Li Zeyan and I hold each other’s gaze for a moment before he calmly takes out three cards to exchange with Goldman.
I also trade my Two Pair with Goldman, acquiring a few new cards in return. Then, following Goldman’s cue, I spread out my cards on the table.
And just like that, the game is settled in a moment–– Li Zeyan’s Joker with a four-flush clearly outmatches my high cards.
Even as I’m trying to maintain my composure, I still breathe a sigh of relief, my eyes crinkling into a smile as I turn to Li Zeyan.
MC: CEO Li’s move to swap the poor cards for such an amazing hand was rather wise, I must say.
Li Zeyan doesn’t say anything and only arches an eyebrow, while Goldman beside him clears his throat with a cough.
Goldman: Actually, CEO Li’s original hand was a straight, so it wasn’t bad either.
A straight… that’s still better than my original Two Pair, isn’t it?
MC: …Then why did you take the risk of changing cards?
LZY: [chuckles softly] Just to be cautious.
LZY: After all, judging from a certain someone’s subtle cues, her hand must have been pretty good.
LZY: Since the Joker was already in my possession, there was a high chance the new cards would either form a flush or above, so it was worth the gamble.
Calculating the probability in mind from his description, I can’t help but widen my slightly as I look at Li Zeyan.
The interval was only about ten seconds or so, and this man calculated everything so fast even within that window!
MC: [mumbling to herself] Had I known earlier, I wouldn’t have gone easy. At least, I could’ve lost with some dignity…
I mutter under my breath in a voice only I can hear, watching as Li Zeyan rises from the seat and addresses me.
LZY: [and he still hears it LMAO, ofc he does] A bet’s a bet.
LZY: Now, you should accompany me to fulfill my wish.
─
───────
[Tidbits]: Just in case it eludes anyone, they are actually playing their version of exclusive poker. I’m not gonna explain the specific terms or the game b/c it’d be a long ass explanation. But just wanted to point out that while MC was playing to have Li Zeyan win the game, the man just really wanted to win LMAO– and why, you’ll find out in a bit~ 🥺
────────
We take our leave from the entertainment room. The nearby and distant buildings are already veiled by the gathering darkness of the night.
The streamlined sports car zooms through the night, racing towards the highest point of the island, and it soon pulls into a secluded parking garage.
Keeping an intermediate distance, the sports car comes to a slow stop by the food-to-ceiling windows. Lights from the surroundings spill a surfeit of light through the glass, making it so that it seems we’re almost close enough to touch by just reaching out.
…What a coincidence, this is the best spot for enjoying the “hidden scenery”!
Everything seems to have fallen perfectly in place, and my heartbeat instantly quickens a little. Li Zeyan turns his head sideways and casts me a casual glance.
LZY: Come on, let’s enjoy the night scenery first.
The door on the driver’s side opens silently, and Li Zeyan seems about to rise from his seat and get out.
MC: Hang on, you haven’t yet told me, what’s the wish you want me to fulfill for you~
I grab his sleeve at flying speed, but he still maintains his calm and composed demeanor.
LZY: I don’t think there’s any need to rush it at the moment.
MC: …but this is a task that must be done eventually! If you don’t tell me, I won’t be able to set my mind at ease~
With my hopeful gaze fixed on him, Li Zeyan ponders for a moment.
LZY: [YOU CAN’T SEE ME BUT I’M PRACTICALLY IN TEARS RN] Well then, from this moment onwards, leave all your time for me and me alone.
MC: [confused] …?
I find myself momentarily doubting if I’ve heard him wrong.
MC: Are you sure you want something so simple? You know you could take this opportunity to get your hands on some even more “impossible” terms!
I subtly stress the word “impossible,” but Li Zeyan seems to have missed my hint and simply gives me a nod.
MC: …Li Zeyan, you’re really a dummy!
I straddle his lap and punch him on the shoulder, feeling a little depressed.
MC: You clearly said yourself, that you wanted to realize the collection task! Then why not seize this opportunity and ask me––
LZY: Ask you about the location to activate this surprise?
And just like that, my hidden thoughts are exposed by him. I stare into his eyes, finding myself a little astonished.
Li Zeyan lifts his hand and runs his finger down my chin, signaling me to pull myself together.
LZY: You’re looking in the wrong direction, turn your head.
I follow the direction his finger points at and, somewhat perpexedly, look out the floor-to-ceiling window.
In the next second, it’s as if an invisible switch has been pressed, and the outline of the entire island is suddenly illuminated by magnificent lights.
The resplendent yet gentle lights, akin to a cascade of stars falling from the vast expanse of the night sky, delineate the long and winding curves of the coastline.
And just like that, the scene I have seen repeatedly in the design drafts and renderings suddenly unfolds before my eyes without warning. My lips part, and my heart suddenly skips a few beats.
…During this whole time, as I spent monitoring the progress, I imagined countless times how Li Zeyan would react when he saw it.
He would probably smile, wouldn’t he? Or perhaps, he wouldn’t even be able to take his eyes off of it.
Harboring such anticipation in mind, I always wanted to achieve the completion of this task as soon as possible, so that he could enjoy this perfect surprise.
Yet, as this scene suddenly materializes before me, I find myself becoming the one who can’t tear her eyes away.
—
────────
[Tidbits]: Sorry to break the flow, but just a little refresher/ reminder as to why MC’s surprise is so significant and emotional (p.s. the BGM here is the 3rd anniv. theme btw 😭)– in S1 CH11, Li Zeyan first told MC how looking at the city lights from a height would quell his anxiety and worries. From then on, it has become one of LZY’s most prominent themes (night, city lights, and meteors). We also saw the reversal of it in the winter world (Only Tonight SP), where MC told Li Zeyan how looking at the city lights would remind her of her special person, and it calmed her down, too. Aside from the little scattered ones, some major moments where we’ve seen the significance of this reference– S1 CH 37 farewell scene, S2 CH 4 re-bonding scene (at the hospital again), S2 CH 40 memory returning, LZY’s 5th birthday etc. This is why MC’s own surprise apparently takes her aback just as much here, too~ ꒦ິ꒳꒦ິ🙏
────────────
A soft chuckle rings in my ears, and I finally snap out of my daze.
Only to find that Li Zeyan’s gaze is fixed intently on me, and I see countless lights and myself mirrored in his eyes.
MC: You had already guessed what the hidden scenery was, didn’t you?
Li Zeyan responds with a soft hum, his palm gently caressing my wrist.
LZY: After all, a certain someone did say it was something worth appreciating with someone you hold dear.
LZY: Since every single element of it was designed by you, I reckoned my preferences were taken into account subconsciously.
LZY: During my morning runs these past few days, I scouted for locations on the island that would offer a breathtaking view. And, combined with the information gathered from the group, I did indeed make this discovery.
His voice carries a sense of ease, and interlaced with it is a confidence of calmly accepting love. A soft “hmph” escapes my lips, and I can’t resist pressing on for more details.
MC: Had I known earlier… I should have chosen my words more carefully when making the introduction.
MC: Come to think of it, the bracelets should have all been collected a while back… You were simply keeping it under wraps so that you could unveil it now, weren’t you?
Li Zeyan doesn’t deny it, leaning back into a relaxed posture.
LZY: Had you known in advance, you wouldn’t have felt the surprise.
I blink my eyes and speak subconsciously.
MC: But this surprise wasn’t prepared for me in the first place––
LZY: [cuts her off] Why can’t it be for you?
As he says this, the touch of resigned laughter colors his baritone voice.
LZY: [lets out the most helpless, gentlest of chuckles] When you persuaded me to come, you clearly said we’d be on vacation together.
LZY: Why is that after “tricking” me into coming here, more often than not, you seem to be so on edge and distracted by all sorts of work related matters?
As he speaks, his fingertips brush my head, causally removing my headwear.
—
The delicate ornament lands soundlessly onto the carpeted floor of the car. A few strands of hair by my cheeks trail downward, causing a slight tickling sensation.
I lower my gaze and belatedly piece together the way I’ve had an increasing amount of free time these past few days, as well as the bet he cleverly orchestrated and won. Suddenly, a realization dawns on me.
MC: …So, everything that happened the past few days was part of your plan?
LZY: After all, a certain someone didn’t have that awareness.
LZY: So, I could only use my ways to bring you out to escape the confines of rules and identities.
As I gaze into that pair of serene eyes, I feel as if a flower is blooming within me, my innermost being silently overflowing with an exquisite sweetness.
The corners of my lips involuntarily curve upward as I lean in, resting my forehead against his. I feel enfolded by the warmth and breath of the person in front of me, and he hems me in completely, not leaving even the slightest gap between us.
MC: So, you’ve been planning this all along, step by step… guess this falls under Teacher Li’s “aesthetics of delay,” doesn’t it? [7]
LZY: Of course. Moreover, the one who gets to immerse in the enjoyment shouldn’t be just me alone.
Our warm breaths intertwine, and I can almost see my own reflection mirrored in his eyes.
A soft laugh escapes me as I lean in towards him.
MC: Well, now it’s time for me, the “dummy student,” to be proactive and respond.
────────
[Tidbits]:
[7] Putting the note here before we get into the intense™ scene again LOL– the “aesthetics of delay” part is a throw-back to Li Zeyan’s top-up SP card– “Exuberant Fruits of Patience” (aka When Love Matures in EN). I’d highly recommend re/reading that to find out the significance of the throwback here~ 😉

I plant a kiss on his lips as I say this. The palm supporting my hips suddenly tightens.
His lips wrap around mine, neither too fast nor too slow, stealing all my oxygen away at a leisurely pace.
Amidst our entwined breaths, even the air lingering between us burns hot. I nibble on his lips, only to be answered with an even more intensified demand.
Sapped of all my strength, it’s not until I give a push on his shoulder that I manage to catch a sliver of space to breathe.
The night air, carrying with it a slight chill, embraces our fiery body heat. I shiver involuntarily and reach out, yearning to steady myself on his chest, but the progressive intensity of the thrusts leaves me swaying back and forth.
MC: Li Zeyan, please let me lean on you a little more…
Allow me to find a mast to rely on and continue to meet the deeper waves.
I’m not sure if I’ve actually said these words aloud, but the panting in my ears suddenly grows heavier. At the same time, my wrists are held captive by a palm soaked with moisture.
Accompanied by the rustling sound of a tie twining around, my wrists are bound and looped around his neck.
MC: [moaning] Li Zeyan…
Murmuring, I turn my head to the side and bite Li Zeyan’s equally damp shoulder.
He doesn’t speak and only releases a restrained pant, holding me even tighter in his arms.
The magnificent lights, the shimmering reflections… the colors on the car window sway, gradually becoming blurred in my vision––
–– Until, akin to fireworks, everything converges into a burst of white light and explodes in my mind.
I take a deep breath, and in the all-consuming embrace of our entangled bodies, lift my hand and run my fingers through the wet tips of his hair.
MC: Li Zeyan, do you still find this delayed surprise to your satisfaction?
With those profound eyes staring fixedly at me, he leans his head in and gently plants a kiss on the inside of my arm.
LZY: Of course… I find it even more satisfactory than you could imagine.
LZY: And I also find myself to be even more addicted (to you).
His lingering kisses wreathe upwards, charged with a passion that can set everything ablaze.
I almost forget how to breathe, as I feel even the last spark of my consciousness grow burning hot and melt into the flowing night.
The world fades into distance and obscurity, leaving only the fiery and violent pounding of our tightly pressed hearts.
And so, I close my eyes, sinking into his temperature once more.

✧ [Day 4] ✧
The rain is pattering outside the window. I quickly open the umbrella and shake it dry. Then, I take out a small packet from my bag, still damp with a few drops of water.
I quietly spread out several rain-soaked flower buds and place them on the table.
MC: Recently, I've been eagerly anticipating when the flowers along the roadside will bloom...
MC: But today, on my way back, I discovered that many flower buds had been knocked down by the heavy rain.
MC: Do you think these can be preserved as specimens?
Lucien slightly raises his eyebrows, sets down the book he was reading, and then gets up to fetch a towel from the bathroom.
Lucien: Of course, it's possible. However, for long-term preservation, we need to remove excess moisture first.
Lucien: The same applies here.
With a soft towel draped over my head, he gently wipes away the raindrops that had splattered onto me.
(he's so gentle and considerate :")
Lucien's post: Although the plan to enjoy the flowers has been postponed, I’ve gained a special decoration as a result.
MC: You’ve received a gift from spring~
Lucien replied to MC: It's you who made it become our collection, so in this light, perhaps you are the spring.
Lucien’s note: Perhaps next time we can try drip glue craft together and make some more practical "specimens", like matching keychains.
✂———————–
✧ [Day 5] ✧
I stare at the package in my hand a bit dazedly—an exquisite storage box containing a beautifully patterned small stone.
MC: This is...?
I look at Lucien with some uncertainty.
Those slender eyes curve into a handsome arc, with a hint of slyness lingering in them.
Lucien: Mineral specimens are also a major category of specimens.
MC: Are you saying this is a piece of crystal?
Lucien: No, it's not.
MC: Then... what rare mineral is it?
Lucien: It's not a rare mineral either.
Lucien: It's just a charming little stone.
Lucien: But when I saw it, you happened to message me at the same time.
Lucien: That's the happiest moment for me today.
(CATCH ME SOBBING)
Lucien: The newly opened dessert shop nearby has freshly baked egg yolk pastries.
Lucien: Do you want me to bring back a piece for you?
MC: Yes, please! This shop always has a long line, and I've been curious about it for a while.
Lucien: If it's delicious enough, will it become the specimen we'll work on tomorrow?
MC: What a pity, just a moment ago, that honor already found its recipient.
Lucien: Judging by your tone, it seems I can only patiently await the arrival of tomorrow.
Lucien’s note: I'm quite certain this is also a kind of specimen. ^^
✂———————–
✧ [Day 6] ✧
MC: Ta-da! This is today's "specimen"!
I proudly place the small box into Lucien's hands.
Lucien: Does this little fox also hide some mysteries?
MC: Hehe, when Professor Lucien sent the message yesterday, I was aimlessly browsing the internet.
MC: After replying to you, the origami tutorial for this little fox was the first video that caught my eye.
Using the same method as him before, I return it to him intact.
The orange little fox sits obediently in his palm, waiting to move into its new home on the shelf.
Lucien’s note: Because the little fox is too cute, I always want to secretly take it away from home and move it to my desk at the Bioultima Research Center.
He possesses a memory that never forgets anything he has seen, yet ironically, the details of his past elude him … except for the haunting memory of that tragic rainy evening.
Words: 694 words
The incessant pitter-patter of raindrops on the unforgiving asphalt road drowned out all other sounds in its relentless symphony. Amidst the shroud of darkness on that dreary evening, the sporadic flashes of the traffic light stood out conspicuously. A tall, drenched man in a somber trench coat remained motionless by the pedestrian crossing, his usually nonchalant face now etched with a desolate expression.
It was a scene all too familiar, one he had witnessed countless times.
Bloody umbrellas were strewn about while the bodies of a family of three were sprawled haphazardly across the road. Puddles of blood had formed under those three, mixing along with the unabating rain. One of them was a young boy with a red scarf wrapped around his neck. He was lying on his side with blood splatters covering part of his ghostly-pale face, while blood continued to seep through the fabric of his black short coat, forming several darker patches on it.
Having lost so much blood, it was unlikely for the boy to survive this. In fact, if not for the barely noticeable twitching of his fingers, none would have thought that the boy was still alive. Perhaps, it would have been better for the boy if he had died at that time.
That was what the man had thought.
The man slowly closed his eyes and the sound of rain ceased instantly. When he opened his eyes, the scene before him had changed. He was no longer in the dark and gloomy city. Instead, he now found himself standing under a familiar camphor tree on a bright cloudy day.
The little boy with a red scarf that he saw in the previous scene was currently standing a few steps in front of him. Although he was wearing the same outfit as in the earlier scene, there were no signs of blood or injuries on the boy. Instead, he was clutching a familiar sketchbook within his arms, while eyeing the man curiously from head to toe.
“Who are you?”
It was a simple question, one that the man knew the answer.
I am who you will be in the future.
Still, he couldn’t bring himself to say it because it was a truth that was too bitter for him to swallow. If the boy knew of the things he had done in the shadows and the kind of life he had led after that fateful evening, he too would deny such a future and the man wouldn’t blame him for that. Indeed, no one could have envisioned such a future for the boy.
After a moment of thought, the man had finally answered the boy with a smile, which was as vacant as the void within his violet eyes.
“I am … the person you least expected to be in the future.”
Right after saying that, the man suddenly found himself leaning back against the chair in his office at the research center. It took him a second to realize that he had dozed off earlier while taking a break from work. Draping a hand over his eyes, he let out a soft sigh that seemed to echo within the silent room.
This was part of the reason why he rarely sleeps. Whenever he sleeps, he will dream and the only dream he will see will be that rainy evening, which was the only piece of his past that he could remember in vivid details. Nevertheless, it was a memory that he wouldn’t want to remember if he could help it, since it signified the losses that he could never be able to regain no matter how hard he tried.
Who are you?
The sight of the little boy looking up at him with bright violet eyes that were gleaming with curiosity and innocence had resurfaced upon his mind, causing him to clench his fist unknowingly.
That boy… was no longer in this world.
On that rainy evening, the little boy with the red scarf had died along with his parents in the car accident.
The one that was currently living in his place was merely an empty husk that went by the name of Lucien Xu.

[IMPORTANT]
⚠️ NSFW WARNING! The content of this ASMR is VERY VIVIDLY EXPLICIT and NOT suitable for individuals under the age of 18. It is recommended that those who do not meet this age requirement refrain from proceeding beyond this point.
I can't upload this on YouTube because YouTube deemed it as too explicit. So I upload the full version on Twitter AND Google Drive. Below the cut is only the transcript.
Google Drive link [ here ]
Twitter link [ here ]
OKAY SO before we start I want to mention some things:
This ASMR is from a CHINESE GAME, and as you know the censorship here is heavy, so explicit content relies on our imagination. The 🔞 elements need to be cleverly disguised; and in this ASMR they use… playing with slime. "Yes officer, they're just playing with slime. What zipper sound? It's from his coat." 🤪
But you can BET those noises aren't slimes (at least during the second half). It's heavily hinted that they gave each other's private parts 👅💦. Hence the ASMR name "水润”/”Moisturize”, which can convey the idea of something being moistened by """"water"""". What else is getting moistened right here except you-know-what 👀
✄----------------------
[ASMR - Moisturize Transcript]
[ sound of Lucien typing the password of the villa and then opens the door ]
[ Lucien sighs and chuckles ]
Once inside,
I can feel the temperature difference of nearly twenty degrees between indoors and outdoors.
Can you hand me my coat?
[ rustling noises as MC hands over his coat ]
Hmm?
It seems that this lady
forgot what was still in my pocket.
[ Lucien chuckles ]
Can I take it out?
[ sounds of the coat zipper as he takes out the item]
What is this?
[ chuckles ]
It seems to be a box of
glue-like stuff.
There are a few gardenia flowers on top.
Is it called 'slime'?
Indeed, it's quite vivid.
Was it bought at the night market
to give to me?
Then, can you teach me
how to play with this?
[ sounds of the slime getting opened ]
[ slime noises ]
Is it played like this?
Hmm
It's very soft.
Also quite fascinating.
And, as you mentioned,
it is a toy that has been improved and is very safe to play with.
Can it be poked?
Good.
[ SUS slime noises ]
Hmm
The fingertips wrapped in softness
feel very warm.
Do you want to play together?
I'd like to share this gift with you.
After sticking to the skin…
The slime's texture
becomes slightly damp
it's also sticky and moist
[ sus slime noises in the background ]
Do you find
that this little toy
sparks any particular associations for us?
[ sus slime noises and Lucien sighs ]
[ whispers ] You can't guess?
I think,
this lady already has an answer.
It's just that….
[ Lucien stops his sentence, chuckles and kisses ]
After all,
you're blushing from cheek to ear.
Okay,
then I'll go first.
These warmth,
moistness, and softness…
...are like a certain lady's….
…palms when her body temperature rises.
[ sus slime noises ]
Hmm?
[ chuckles ]
It seems that….
My associations surprised you?
[ chuckles ]
I wasn't asking a leading question.
Now, reveal your answer
Okay?
You are embarrassed to say it…
…and want to answer it with action?
I would give full marks to this classmate for all her ways of answering.
[ rustling noises ]
[ ZIPPER NOISES as she unzips his pants 🤪]
[ Lucien chuckles, then gasps and breathes heavily as she touches his d- ]
[ whispers hoarsely ] I didn't expect….
such a straightforward answer.
So,
this is the thought that makes this lady blush.
I rather feel that
those (slime) sounds are quite different from the noises we usually hear.
[ Lucien moans as he leads her to take him into her mouth ]
For example…
[ SUS RHYTHMICAL AND WET NOISES AS SHE SUCKS HIS D- ]
[ breathlessly ] This sound would be more similar
isn't it?
[ rhythmical and wet noises continue in the background, rattling noises as Lucien possibly begins to put the lid of the slimes + Lucien gasps and chuckles ]
I always feel that
the little toy on the table is not as fun anymore.
[ breathlessly whispers ] Of course, I like it.
[ breathlessly ] It's just that….
To the lady who gives me this gift….
[ Lucien gasps and then breathlessly whispers ] I’d rather express my gratitude…
[ the rhythmical and wet noises gradually stop ]
[ …i-is he shooting ropes- ]
[ Lucien steadies his breath ]
[ in a much calmer tone after he blows off his load ] …Probably due to the significant temperature difference between indoors and outdoors,
the glue in the composition starts to dissolve away.
It gets a bit sticky.
Or perhaps I poked too fast.
and ended up breaking this small teaching toy.
(T/N: lol here goes our 'cover story' 🤪. Officer, those sounds are TOTALLY from playing with slimes. Huh, 'Why does it make him breathless'? He just gets excited when teaching her, that's all 😋 )
[rustling noises]
Next time, after you buy one,
you can give it to me first.
I'll keep it safe.
[Lucien shuts the lid of the slimes]
To make up for this time,
What's next…
Is it time to move on to the practical part of the lesson?
(T/N: a.k.a the actual sex instead of just foreplay-)
I wonder if this classmate
is willing to 'assist' me?
[ rustling noises as he puts her on a surface ]
[ kissing noises as he kisses her in ✨places✨ ]
I really like your 'answers'.
They make it hard for me…
...to think straight.
[ more kissing noises as he moves lower and lower -]
Now,
let me repay you.
[ NOISES OF HIM EATING HER OUT. It's only right to repay oral with another oral- and she needs to be 'moisturized' before accepting him right- ]
I will hold my happiness,
and share all of them with you.
[ more noises of him eating her out as the sounds gradually fade- ]
