Ten Years of Yearning. My Love, Let Me Protect You.

Sheng Ruming pulled her towards him and hugged her waist with his one hand. 

At dusk, his deep voice alongside his handsome appearance was enough to stir her soul, "I needed to go for a few more rounds but you were so worn out that my heart was aching." 

"Ah?!" Luo Lixi glanced at him suspiciously.

"If you gawk at me with your doubting face then I will have no other way than to prove it to you. How about tonight?" 

Luo Lixi directly broke his hold and started to saunter ahead, planning to leave the man behind. 

"Hey, Lixi, why are you going that way for?" 

Hearing him, Luo Lixi made a U-turn and was resoluted to go back to the resort but the man caught her and kissed her without letting her go.

"..."

Chi Bainian saw this scene and became perplexed and shocked. She was roaming the area and taking selfies when her mobile phone caught the two figures.

In one of her photos, the two people's kissing scene was caught accidentally. After the initial shock passed, she became very happy. 'It's totally unexpected but… ' 

Chi Bainian's lips arched into a mocking sneer, '... it's acceptable if the one isn't Ruomin. Humph!' 

She didn't have the sick hobby of watching other people's intimate moments. Thus without making any noise, she left the area. 

The man placed her back on a bamboo tree and trapped her between himself and the tree. Even though both of them were emerged in their passionate act, Luo Lixi was startled suddenly.

Sheng Ruming followed her line of sight and frowned when he noticed the familiar back. Then, his eyes glanced around and detected many other traces of people.

"Ruming, who are they?" Her face was somewhat anxious. 

"My men." Sheng Ruming sighed and felt for the first time that his bodyguards were insensitive. 'Just ruined my mood!... but it's not their fault though.' 

Luo Lixi pushed him away. "You have known yet you dared to act without restraint! Don't you feel awkward... " 

Sheng Ruming came before her and stroked her face, "They won't have the hobby to eat dog food. Also, if we always think about what others say, then it will be difficult to live."

"Even then…" 

"Sshh." Sheng Ruming put his two fingers on her lips and stopped her from saying anything further. Then, she was brought by him to the depth of the bamboo forest.

"This is…" Luo Lixi was amazed by the beautiful scenery. 

Sheng Ruming was pleased by her reaction. "It's the natural hot spring,  also the most beautiful one. From the time I have bought it, everybody has been restricted to use it."

The man wrapped his arms around his shoulders and whispered, "Only the two of us can use it… "

Hearing the rough and strong tone of his, it didn't need to be explained what his intentions actually were. 

As soon as their eyes met, the man winked her provocatively. 

Witnessing this, Luo Lixi rashly avoided his eyes. Then her sight went towards the little hut at one corner of that hot spring. 

The small shelter was worn out and it looked very shabby.

"That hut?"

"It has been there for many years. Later, people stopped coming here and let it be." 

The whole hotspring was enclosed by walls made of bamboo. 

Sheng Ruming turned towards her and murmured, "Natural things can't be compared to artificials… " Then he whispered, "Shall we?"

When Luo Lixi turned around, his dark and deep eyes were still staring at her. For a moment she felt as if his gaze had the power to penetrate her soul. 

Finally, she nodded. A bewitching smile found its way on his face in that instant. Luo Lixi felt her cheeks were burning before his intense scrutiny.

*** ***

After ten minutes, rustling sounds of water spread throughout the whole area. One after another, the two people entered the warm water. 

Luo Lixi hugged her front and moaned in ease when the warm water was helping her body to relax in extreme comfy and cozy. 

"You are right. It's really different from yesterday's experience." A satisfactory sigh escaped her lips.

Sheng Ruming let her head lean on his chest. He hugged her waist from behind and both of them became reserved.

Aside from the rustling sound of the water, the sound of bamboo leaves and birds could be heard. 

Even though the air was serene for a while, they weren't able to remain still in the end. When Sheng Ruming's hand moved, Luo Lixi couldn't stay nonetheless.

By the time she turned around, both of their gazes changed into something unfathomable. 

Two pairs of lips met as well as the bodies blended together in the blink of an eye.

What was supposed to happen, finally took place in the end. Their bodies were veiled by the mist.

After two hours, the sky had already turned dark. When the people had left the place, there were some visible changes. 

When Luo Lixi lifted her eyes, his calm and steady stature made her doubt life. 'Why does he seem so nonchalant as if nothing has happened?!' 

This matter seemed to bother her conscious. She was displeased for no valid reason. But when the man slowed down his pace and reached out for her hand, her uneasiness vanished.

Both of them were holding hands as they made their way towards the resort. 

When they saw Wei Airan and other people were standing outside of the resort, she wanted to take back her hand but he didn't let her go and clutched her palm tightly.

"Ruming, let go. Your mother is there. It's not appropriate." Luo Lixi tried to retract her hand but the man abruptly hugged her waist and whispered.

"If you dare to struggle, will you believe me that I will kiss you before everyone?" 

Her whole body tightened because of his words. 

Sheng Ruming grumbled watching her reaction, "Hey, now don't show this expression as if I have bullied you."

"But you did, earlier…" 

"Heh!"

"..."
