The cave was cool and refreshing on the summer night, yet Si Shuo felt an unbearable heat coursing through her body, as if she were being roasted over a fire. The discomfort was laced with a suppressed ache.
She let out a muffled groan, and from outside the cave, Ji Liang's anxious voice called out, "Little Shushu, are you in a lot of pain? I'm coming in right now..."
Si Shuo fell silent as she watched Ji Liang appear out of thin air, no door-breaking required. 'So much for the fun,' she thought. Her body had grown increasingly delicate from being pampered by the males of her family. In the past, she had always just gritted her teeth and endured it, but now, she could barely stand it on the very first night.
Worried about her, Ji Liang had forgotten what role he was supposed to be playing and rushed to appear. Of course, he was now officially her Beast Husband, so he naturally didn't need to worry about getting her permission to enter.
