59. A Strange Change
Looking at Bae Joo-hyun, who was putting on a tough front but secretly feeling jealous,
Li Jingcheng smiled. Although he had lived two lives and his experience in love was not extensive, he was by no means an emotionally insensitive fool.
Looking at Bae Joo-hyun's feigned smile, but with a hint of grievance hidden in her eyes,
He could tell that if he didn't appease them properly now, their dual cultivation session tonight would likely be greatly diminished.
In this respect, men seem to have an innate, keen intuition.
"It's just a few promotional photos, isn't it?" Lee Kyung-sung reached out and pinched Bae Joo-hyun's cheek, his tone teasing. "Han Ga-in is thirty years old, how can she compare to my Joo-hyun? Look at her skin, it's so white it's glowing, with a pinkish hue, as sweet and sexy as a peach..."
Bae Joo-hyun was initially basking in the joy of being praised, but the more she listened, the more something seemed off; it was getting increasingly exaggerated.
"Hey! Li Jingcheng!" She looked up and glared at him, feigning anger. Although her tone was dissatisfied, the gloom in her eyes had mostly dissipated.
Having achieved his goal of appeasing her, Li Jingcheng stopped teasing her and became more serious.
Just some,
He lowered his head, bringing his breath close to Bae Joo-hyun's small, delicate ear, and breathed out a warm, suggestive breath. "I'm telling the truth. And..."
Bae Joo-hyun felt a tingling sensation all over her body, and she trembled even more violently. Her eyes instantly filled with tears.
Li Jingcheng watched her reaction with satisfaction and continued to whisper in her ear, "I'll have Yonghao order a set of costumes for Li Xuan and Xu Yanyu from the 'The Moon Embracing the Sun' drama for me later."
Although Bae Joo-hyun was feeling all hot and bothered, she managed to maintain her composure and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Why are you ordering two sets of clothes?"
Lee Kyung-sung's smile grew even more wicked, his eyes like those of a big bad wolf eyeing a little white rabbit. "Of course... it's to finish the content that Lee Hwon and Seo Yeon-woo couldn't broadcast on TV."
"Content that can't be broadcast?" Bae Joo-hyun blinked, her mind instantly conjuring up images of content that couldn't be aired on television, and her breathing became rapid.
In her mind, Li Xuan became Jing Cheng's image, and Han Jiaren became herself. She even felt that if it were her, she would definitely be much prettier than Han Jiaren and a better match for Jing Cheng's Li Xuan.
Seeing Bae Joo-hyun gradually lose her focus and her face becoming increasingly flushed, Lee Kyung-sung stopped talking, grabbed her red lips, and kissed her deeply.
"Waaah..."
Bae Joo-hyun snapped out of her daze, pushed his chest, and protested haltingly, "We haven't...we haven't eaten yet..."
Li Jingcheng didn't care about any of that. He carried the petite body in his arms and walked towards the bedroom, saying dismissively, "We'll eat right away."
"This isn't eating, it's more like..."
Bae Joo-hyun squirmed in his arms to express her dissatisfaction, but her hands honestly wrapped around his neck without truly objecting. Her eyes were tender and full of affection.
"Then...when do we order?" Bae Joo-hyun suddenly remembered something and asked Lee Kyung-sung in his ear.
This made Li Jingcheng, who was in agitation, pause, somewhat amused and exasperated. "You know my capabilities. Even at the fastest, it will take at least an hour."
Bae Joo-hyun was still a little jealous, so she took the opportunity to push Lee Kyung-sung down onto the bed, straddle him, and said with a hint of provocation in her eyes, "Lee Hwon... are you in such a hurry?"
Lee Kyung-sung was amazed to see Bae Joo-hyun completely immersed in her role, but out of gentlemanly courtesy, he kindly reminded her, "Joo-hyun, you're like this... I'm fine, but you can't take it."
Bae Joo-hyun, now brimming with confidence, had selectively forgotten her utter defeat and tearful pleas for mercy the previous night. She raised her chin arrogantly and declared, "I'm not Bae Joo-hyun, I'm Heo Yeon-woo! And Lee Hwon, just you wait and see, don't underestimate me..."
Two minutes later.
Just moments ago, Xu Yanyu was all fierce and aggressive, but now she was lying obediently on the bed, in a docile kneeling position, her face buried in the pillow, revealing only a section of her bright red ear tip, looking pitiful and ready to be taken.
"Waaah... Jingcheng... slow, slow down..."
As their emotions reached their peak, an invisible yet profound force suddenly flowed around their bodies—
Bae Joo-hyun felt a lightness spread through her body. The tightness and soreness she had felt were gently soothed by this power, replaced by a tingling and warm sensation that seeped from deep within her limbs. The power was like a self-aware warm current, slowly flowing through her meridians, soothing every inch of her tense muscles until they were soft and supple.
Lee Kyung-sung also gasped for breath—he could clearly feel that the energy within his body was intertwining and resonating with the gentle fluctuations emanating from Bae Joo-hyun, as if two streams from the same source were merging into a great river.
"It seems... the system's products are truly top-notch."
Li Jingcheng chuckled inwardly, his voice hoarse but clearly filled with pleasure.
The subsequent dual cultivation was almost a natural and highly efficient process.
Every minute, every second, that invisible force continuously washed over and nourished their bodies.
Bae Joo-hyun felt her initial shyness and nervousness gradually disappear, replaced by a sense of complete surrender and unreserved comfort and immersion.
With the support of that power, Li Jingcheng was able to lead the rhythm with even more ease. Every touch seemed to guide her to sink into a deeper resonance with him, rather than simply taking or possessing.
The temperature, breathing, heartbeat, and even the air itself in the room seemed to be harmonized to the most suitable frequency by that force.
The bedsheets, which had just been put away, were now a mess, covered in water stains. Bae Joo-hyun was on the verge of tears, and could only punch Lee Kyung-sung with her small fists.
Lee Kyung-sung was still savoring the strange resonance and changes in his body when Bae Joo-hyun's outburst brought him back to reality.
Helpless, he could only smile apologetically and coax the person in his arms. This girl was truly both lovable and infuriating—she had just been crying and saying she couldn't take it anymore, but she insisted on being strong. Then, when he became serious and gentle, she turned around and accused him of not cherishing her.
At this moment, Li Jingcheng truly understood what a reasonable girl was like. Fortunately, her emotions came and went quickly, making her unpredictable.
Although it was cold in Seoul late at night, the bedroom was well-heated, and the two of them felt sticky afterwards.
Bae Joo-hyun planned to take a hot shower. Before leaving, she emphasized sternly, "Lee Kyung-sung, you better behave yourself and don't you dare follow me!"
Li Jingcheng shrugged, watching her back, wondering: Is this thing like health preservation, something that only works if you persist and accumulate over time? Judging from her behavior, it seems like she hasn't felt any changes in her body at all.
"ah!!!"
Suddenly, a short, sharp scream came from the bathroom.
Li Jingcheng was startled and rushed over without thinking.
Bae Joo-hyun stood frozen in front of the full-length mirror, her hands tightly covering her face, staring incredulously at her reflection. Her bath towel and new clothes were scattered at her feet.
"What's wrong? What's wrong?" Li Jingcheng hugged her from behind, following her gaze to the mirror, and hurriedly asked, "Are you feeling unwell?"
In the mirror, Bae Joo-hyun's face was still exquisite, and apart from a lingering blush, there seemed to be nothing wrong with her.
Li Jingcheng examined the wound carefully but found nothing unusual, which made him even more puzzled.
Bae Joo-hyun, however, bumped her head against his chest in dissatisfaction, her tone filled with deep grievance and shock.
"Why...why aren't you reacting at all?!"
"What reaction?" Li Jingcheng looked down, completely bewildered.
