Chapter 279
Smoking is bad. Everyone knows it.
If you never smoked before, don’t try it. Look at Bing Shi, curiosity killed the cat.
It’s definitely not worth it. xD

“You... are right,” Bing Shi leaned against his body as she slowly fell asleep, “I love... you more... than Xue Bi... so much more that ... it’s scary...”
“I know... but I still love you more,” Xuan Mu held her dearly against his chest. Her love was sick, but so was his. Nobody taught them how to love and this was the result. They learned from each other. Nothing will stand in their way again, not even death. He will stick to Bing Shi until the end of time. No, not Bing Shi. Bing Shi’s soul. He could never be sure with this woman. What if another version of her appeared, catching him off guard like Xue Bi? Well, that version would have a hella hard time changing his opinion. But he knew that eventually, he would fall for her the same way she fell for all of his lifetimes.
If Lu Kai had a choice, and Bing Shi couldn’t remember, which one would he choose? There didn’t exist a substitute for Xue Bi nor Bing Shi. Lu Kai pecked Bing Shi’s head. Of course, he would choose the one who loved him the most, the one most deserving of his love. Now, he understood why she asked for Xuan Mu, the version which not only made her fall in love but also taught her how to love.

Opening her eyes after a short rest, Bing Shi looked up, scrunching her nose at the smoke that traveled up into the ventilation system, “Can I have a cigarette please?”
“No,” Lu Kai lit himself a third cigarette and took a drag, never letting go of the woman in his arms, their chest touching. The helplessness a while ago almost turned him crazy, he needed something to calm down.
Bing Shi licked her lips while staring at the cigarette in his mouth, scratching his chest muscles lightly, “Pretty please?”
Lu Kai placed the cigarette before her lips, her current state didn’t look any better than his. He opened her old scars, now he had to stitch them up. “Only one.”
Bing Shi nodded obediently while inhaling the small dose of nicotine carefully, her eyes focused on his long fingers which held the cigarette. She didn’t want to become prey to tobacco addiction again, yet she still wanted to indulge herself in that taboo pleasure, allowing him to take control of this matter.
There were lots of ways how smoke could get from one mouth to another. Lu Kai took the most direct one as he went for a kiss, giving a little amount of nicotine from mouth to mouth, their lips touched. They found nothing attractive or sexy about cigarettes or their smells. Off-putting would be a better word to describe it. But the sheer affection they had for the other made them do strange stuff, sometimes finding excitement in the oddest things.
Pulling away, Lu Kai took another drag and let Bing Shi take one too, sliding his hand under her top, he stroked her skin sensually, letting her grind on his crotch.
Tapping off the ash, his hand traced down into her training trousers, gripping her bottom, his fingers sinking into her skin.
Making out while sharing a smoke was an electric experience, they melted into each other’s bodies, feeling relaxed mentally and physically.
“One more?” she asked.
“No,” was his definite answer.

“Was Silika sexually active?” Lu Kai knew if one received another soul’s memories it would be like watching a first-person movie. Many scenes and senses would be missing depending on how important the soul viewed its memories. He didn’t care if her body was used, he just didn’t want Bing Shi to have a recollection of having intimate relationships with other men.
“She kept her memories very PG-rated. I don’t even know if she pooped. There were bad rumors about Silika sleeping with men for money. No man took her seriously. They only viewed her as a one-night stand, not a wife material. I don’t think she’s a virgin, but I can’t remember if she had sex with other men...”
Bing Shi could feel his erection underneath and began to rock on him gently, her eyes locked onto his defined abs. Every move gave away his strength, every muscle on his torso flowed from the light into the dark. Knocking here and groping there, she sniffed at his skin that was so tempting to touch, “You smell like a dirty ashtray.”

“You don’t say,” Lu Kai stubbed the finished cigarette into the ashtray next to him with his right hand while his left one fondled her buttcheek. Taking a sniff of her hair, he grimaced, “You smell like a rundown hotel room stained with cheap cigarette odor.”
“?...” Copying his expression, Bing Shi sniffed her hair in shock, his words weren’t far from the truth, “Next time, let’s try an e-cigarette? My mom switched to them. They smell nice.”
“Bing Shi. Promise me you won’t smoke again,” Lu Kai held her neck with his hand which held the cigarettes a while ago. As if her sweet potato addiction wasn’t enough. Kids out there, don’t be like this girl who got addicted to nicotine from one inhale. He didn’t have a problem with quitting smoking, probably thanks to Ru Quan’s resilience against some substances, sheer willpower, and... that’s it.
Lu Kai didn’t like smoking at all, it was only a short-term solution with more disadvantages than advantages, but he still tried to understand why Xue Bi liked it. Smoking didn’t automatically make one a bad person, or more badass. Xue Bi hated the smell, but still fell prey to this legal drug.
Bing Shi looked him in the eyes, so intense, one would get cautious as if they were saying no more spoiling; her pampering ended here. The man who would give her the skies prohibited another thing. They rarely asked for a promise, knowing well how hard it was to keep one’s word. She had the sheer power to quit, it was just hard to let go of something that could switch off her mind. She agreed, “Unless someone shoves it down my throat, I promise I won’t smoke again.”
“Wrong answer.” Lu Kai raised his hips, grinding between her tights, “As punishment, I’ll shove something else down your throat.”
Bing Sni shook her head in tension when she saw the candy which appeared on his tongue. Knowing him, it had to be a sour one. She immediately covered her mouth with an attempt to run away, “I was wrong! I was wrong! I’ll do everything in my strength to resist the temptation!”
Crushing the candy with his teeth, Lu Kai caught her wrist, the corner of his lips curved up into a sly smile, “Good girl. Now... time for your reward.”
