A Star Reborn: The Queen’s Return

Silence.

The two of them looked quietly at each other. It seemed as if only a short period of time had passed, yet it also seemed as if a long time had passed.

Pei Ziheng walked towards her step by step as if he was shackled down. He bent over and reached out to touch her cheek gently.

His slightly coarse fingertips touched her smooth skin and she twitched slightly, her heart in her throat. She did not dare to move. The soft bathroom lighting reflected her delicate face and her butterfly-like eyelashes fluttered slightly, somewhat frail and somewhat afraid.

He could see his own shadow reflected inside her sparkling pupils.

His finger traced the side of her cheek and, as if enchanted, he lifted her chin and lowered his head to cover her two petal-like soft lips. She widened her eyes at once and her mind was a complete blank. All the sounds and light and shadow seemed to distance from her. Only the touch on her lips was so realistic, so real…

It overwhelmed her.

She was sixteen this year and it was the age of the first awakening of love. She had seen the couples in the Training Camp and there were also many who wanted to chase her. Hence, she knew what was going on. But she had never been touched like this by anyone before. All her knowledge was only in theory. When he had attacked her mouth with an invasive attitude, that strange and thrilling feeling had almost stopped her heart.

She didn’t know when it was over, but when they separated, he pressed his forehead against hers. It took her a long time to find she was panting. Her whole body was soft in the bathtub and, if not for his solid arm supporting the back of her head, she was afraid she would have slipped into the pool of clear water already.

She continued to look at him with wide eyes and found her reflection in his pupils. It was a pale and flustered girl with slightly swollen rose-like tender lips. There was a burning flame behind his eyes, reminding her of the beasts hunting in the jungle she had seen on television before.

She felt something was wrong and instinctively shrank back.

His big hand grabbed the hair behind her head and, as if punishing her, dragged her forward so she could not shrink back into the pool.

She screamed out softly in pain and extended a hand to push him.

Unexpectedly, this move seemed to agitate him. He pushed her body deep into the bathtub and with a splash, he squeezed himself into the narrow bathtub as well, pressing his heavy body onto hers.

“Go away!” She couldn’t help but scream. This was the most primitive fear of the male invaders inscribed in her female gene. She felt his strong and powerful legs clinging to her waist. She felt something hard beneath his clothes pressing against the most private part of her body, scaring her so much she wanted to scream.

He didn’t move away. Instead, he grabbed her struggling hands and placed it above her head with heavy pressure. His other hand stroked down her neck unceasingly. He grabbed her leg and pulled it in his direction, tightening the gap between their bodies.

She was so beautiful, just like a mermaid in a dream. It made one feel the urge to continue.

At this moment, Pei Ziheng had long forgotten where he was. He could only see her beautiful, smooth, jade-like skin, and his nose lingered around her seductive fragrance. Even her thin pleading sound was like a distant chanting that made him fascinated and enchanted.

He wanted her.

This was the only thing his body and brain could determine.

He pressed her against the wall. The bathtub was too small and she had nowhere to escape.

Her eyes were full of boundless fear. She was at a loss and overwhelmed. She couldn’t understand why her gentle brother had become so crazy all of a sudden. She was in pain, his strong solid legs were suppressing her legs, her lower body was pressing hard against the bathtub wall, and his invincible body was pressing on her. She cried, her delicate skin rubbing against the cold metal buckle of his suit and drawing blood.

She struggled weakly with her long wet hair stuck to her face like a dying fish, desperate and sad. The splashing water in the bathtub drenched his finely crafted suit.

He was annoyed that the suit was in the way, so he violently pulled it down and the metal buttons fell, scattering onto the cold and smooth tiles. She finally found a chance to push him aside and not even caring that she wasn’t wearing anything, climbed out of the bathtub in a frenzy and staggered towards the door.

He grabbed her wrist and restrained her strongly, dragging her back and pressing her against the bathtub again.

Her waist was pressed against the edge of the bathtub, and it hurt so bad she felt it was going to break. With one hand in the water and another pushing him frantically, she screamed, “Let me go!” She cried tearfully, “Brother Pei, let me go…”

He turned a deaf ear to her pleas, or rather, the moment he opened the bathroom door, he could no longer hear anything she said. In his eyes, there was only a fairy that belonged to him.

Fairy.

He had been bewitched.

He dragged her back with no effort at all and kissed her again. The smell of blood drifted faintly between their lips and teeth, and it was unsure who had bitten the other.

Her mind was in a mess and she had screamed a thousand “No” and “You can’t”. She didn’t want to surrender like this. She took advantage of the moment when their lips were separated and slapped him fiercely.

A crisp sound sounded.

For a moment, both of them were stunned.

His expression restored a moment of clarity as if he only now realized who he was pressing himself against and what he was doing. Through the thin layer of clothes, he could feel her shaking all over. The fairy-like girl looked palely at him, her face tear-stricken. Her petal-like tender lips were mottled with blood.

She trembled and stared at him for a short while before jumping up like a frightened rabbit and running out of the bathroom.

Gosh…

What had he done?

Pei Ziheng slowly sat up from the edge of the bathtub. He stretched his hands out and covered his face.

A loud noise came from outside the bathroom door.

Pei Ziheng suddenly stood up and slammed the bathroom door open, not caring that he was in a mess. He saw Xia Ling’s naked body crumpled near the entrance. She looked to be in great pain and couldn’t get up for a long time.

She was still so beautiful. Her body carried traces left by him, making his pupils dilate again.

He forced himself not to think about what he should not think of. He took two steps forward and reached out to help her up.

“Don’t come near me!” She was so frightened her voice had changed. She suddenly shrank back and slammed into the door of the entrance with a loud bang.

He looked down at her and stopped moving.

She was terrified and didn’t dare to move. She curled up her body and covered her private area with her soft limbs. The light of the bathroom flooded over softly, and the hazy lighting fell on her curled up figure at the corner of the entrance. She looked like a fragile little beast, helpless and confused.
