This kiss came without warning, forceful and full of aggression, leaving her no room to retreat.
The warm sensation, and the lingering hint of spiciness from the green pepper stir-fry between their lips, shot through Chu You’s body like an electric current.
Her body went rigid in an instant, as if frozen, her mind going completely blank for those few seconds.
Then, a surge of shame and a sense of violated fury caused her to struggle violently, muffled and hurried cries of “mmph mmph” pouring from her blocked throat.
But her struggles were futile, almost as if… she was cheering Lin Mo on—
She was firmly pinned down on the bed by Lin Mo, her legs trapped between his, leaving her unable to move.
The difference in strength between a man and a woman was glaringly obvious at this moment.
The only part of her body she could move freely were her hands, pressed against his chest, pushing with all her might.
Yet, faced with such overwhelming strength, her resistance seemed so powerless and in vain.
Her attempts to push him away did not budge Lin Mo in the slightest; instead, because of their tight and friction-filled contact, her actions conveyed a sense of reluctant acceptance, as if silently provoking him, or, in her desperation, only fanning the flames even higher.
Her resistance seemed to further provoke the assertiveness and possessiveness buried in Lin Mo’s bones.
His kiss became deeper and even more unyielding, as if he intended to steal away all her breath, all her thoughts.
…
Chu You was about to go insane.
This bastard, finally showing his true colors, huh?!
So he was up to no good all along!
Enveloped and devoured by Lin Mo’s burning breath, Chu You couldn’t help but feel a mix of grief, anger, and absurdity in her heart.
Thinking back, in her previous life she worked hard and made money, fighting to survive.
In her twenties, she finally saved enough for a down payment on a house, to the point she didn’t even dare date a girlfriend.
And in the end, after all that, she woke up in another world as a woman.
Starting out as an orphan in a crumbling orphanage was bad enough, but even her beloved sniper rifle was taken away by fate.
All these years, no matter how many beautiful girls she met, she could only swallow her grievances and watch from afar, powerless to act.
Fine, she could endure all of that!
Treat it as a cruel joke played by destiny.
But—
Today, right now!
She’d actually been forcibly kissed by Lin Mo, by a man?!
The shame of having her body violated and her will forcibly suppressed made her eyes involuntarily well up with tears.
Her breath grew heavy and erratic, unsure if it was from lack of oxygen or pure rage.
Fine, fine, whatever… let it all go to hell!
At this thought, Chu You’s tense body suddenly relaxed.
She simply gave up resisting, lowering her defenses and letting him have his way.
Lin Mo noticed nothing amiss.
The offensive that had previously slowed due to her struggling now surged forward unstoppably with her sudden surrender, conquering the high ground in an instant.
His kiss grew even deeper and more wanton.
Now was the time.
A cold glint flashed in Chu You’s eyes.
Gathering the last of her clarity and strength, she bit down hard—“…..!”
Lin Mo let out a grunt of pain, his movements coming to a sudden halt.
A metallic, bloody sweetness rapidly spread through both their mouths.
His breath hitched.
Only then did he realize… he’d been bitten by Chu You?!
Fine, fine, she really did bite hard!
However, at that very moment, when he was thrown off by the sudden pain and shock, Chu You exploded with a burst of surprising strength.
Her legs kicked out and her hands pushed with all her might.
Lin Mo’s body wavered, nearly toppling off her.
But the gap in strength wasn’t something that could be bridged by a moment’s outburst.
After a brief imbalance, Lin Mo quickly regained his footing, his gaze turning even deeper and more dangerous.
He gave her no further chance: his large hands, like iron clamps, seized Chu You’s slender wrists.
He effortlessly pulled them above her head, crossing them, and pinned them firmly with one hand, leaving her arms completely immobilized.
With his other hand, practiced and threatening, he slid straight to the edge of Chu You’s pajama hem, his fingers landing on her exposed, soft waist.
The cool fingertips brushing against her warm skin made Chu You shudder uncontrollably.
“Mmm, mmm… mmm!”
Chu You let out another, even more desperate yet futile, muffled cry of protest.
But now, with all her limbs restrained, she was like a butterfly caught in a spider’s web.
Judging by Lin Mo’s increasingly dangerous demeanor, he clearly had no intention of letting her go easily.
At that thought, Chu You steeled herself, preparing to use the same trick again, waiting for the right chance to give Lin Mo another, even fiercer bite..
…
But it was as if Lin Mo had already anticipated her plan—
He left her no room for thought or resistance, lowering himself and kissing her again with even more scorching, irresistible intensity.
That bloody kiss, carrying the taste of punishment and an assertion of sovereignty, entangled her even more forcefully.
Chu You could only passively and helplessly endure, the last of her defenses utterly destroyed.
Overwhelmed by suffocating oxygen deprivation and intense sensory overload, her consciousness began to blur, unable to muster any effective response.
Slowly, Chu You felt her whole body burning up, as if she’d been set ablaze.
Her limbs, which had just moments ago been tensed, grew weaker and weaker, devoid of any strength.
The face right before her eyes—Lin Mo’s face—began to blur, as if seen through a veil of mist.
Her thoughts dulled, thick and sluggish, as if sinking into a warm, deep sea.
The metallic sweetness of Lin Mo’s blood mixed with his unique scent in her mouth, strangely awakening some kind of slumbering, unknown desire deep inside her.
Under the lamp, Chu You’s once-bright eyes, lit with anger, turned slightly unfocused.
Within her gaze appeared a trace of obsession and confusion that even she didn’t realize, what little clarity remained in her mind ebbing away like the tide, replaced and dyed by a surging, instinctive desire…
“Ring ring ring ring….…”
A sharp, urgent ringtone sliced through the heated, ambiguous air in the room like cold water thrown into boiling oil.
This sudden noise jolted Chu You’s fading, nearly nonexistent rationality back to life, and forcefully halted Lin Mo’s increasingly reckless, fervent advance.
Both their bodies froze simultaneously for a moment.
In the next instant, perhaps regaining their senses or perhaps simply shocked back to reality by the ringtone, Lin Mo’s grip on Chu You’s wrists unconsciously loosened a little.
That brief lapse was all it took.
A flash of clarity and resolve shone in Chu You’s eyes.
Seizing the fleeting opportunity, she mustered all her strength and finally broke free from Lin Mo’s grasp.
Her newly-liberated hands immediately pressed against his solid chest, pushing with all her might.
“Ring ring ring ring—!!”
The shrill ringing kept on blaring, relentless as a death knell, destroying any lingering, shaky tenderness in the room, leaving only awkwardness, panic, and the irritation of being interrupted.
Lin Mo slowly lifted his head, reluctantly pulling away the lips that carried both their scents and a faint trace of blood.
His breathing remained rough, his chest heaving visibly.
Gasping for air the moment she was freed, Chu You drew in deep lungfuls of fresh oxygen, as if surfacing after being submerged.
Scrambling, she quickly moved to the far side of the bed, fully escaping from Lin Mo’s shadow.
Curling up at the bed’s edge, she dragged the messy blanket over herself for cover.
Though her face was still flushed, her gaze was now wary and filled with anger and embarrassment.
Lin Mo’s face was tinged with an unusual red, his lips still glistening with ambiguous moisture and stained with the dark red of his own blood.
He wiped the corner of his mouth a bit roughly with the back of his hand, breathing heavily, his lingering frustration and dissatisfaction at being interrupted evident.
He fished the still-ringing phone from his pocket.
The caller ID was clear—Gu Qiancheng, that wretch.
Lin Mo took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the strange turmoil in his chest.
He strode over to the window and pressed the answer button.
Before he could even speak, Gu Qiancheng’s anxious, almost cracking voice burst clearly through the speaker, sounding especially jarring in the silent room: “Lin Mo! Something huge has happened!!”
At those words, Lin Mo’s brows immediately knitted together, any lingering, ambiguous thoughts chased away by the gravity of Gu Qiancheng’s tone.
He forced down the irritation from being interrupted and replied as steadily and calmly as possible: “What happened? Slow down, tell me exactly what’s going on?”
On the other end, Gu Qiancheng’s words came rapid-fire, like a machine gun: “Just got an urgent message from the Military Department’s Nanwan Province Transfer Division—they’re asking when the 2nd Composite Brigade, which came to support Binhai, will return to their base… I told them Commander Song Changming led the unit back three days ago, but they said—”
“To this moment, there isn’t even a shadow of the 2nd Composite Brigade at their base! The entire brigade, gone!”
Gu Qiancheng’s voice was filled with disbelief and gravity: “An entire composite brigade, thousands of people, along with all their equipment, vanished without a trace?!”
“Damn it, something major has really happened!!”
