《Forbidden. Desire》2《Living by Desire》
Chapter Eight: The Chain of Dream Synchronization
1, 【Burning Bait】
Sun awoke from that fragmented ancient-costume nightmare, her body drenched in cold sweat. The pain of being pierced by ten thousand arrows in the dream felt so real, as if even this century-old body ached faintly.
Two vastly different energies within her—Shen Yanzhi’s domineering and violent aura, and Lu Yuan’s gentle, pure flow—were clashing wildly through her meridians in an unprecedented manner.
At that moment, her phone screen lit up with a message devoid of warmth:
“A set of clothes will be delivered shortly. Put it on and come to this address. The car will arrive at the door in half an hour.”
Sender: Shen Yanzhi.
The usual commanding tone, arrogantly taken for granted.
Normally Sun might have sneered and ignored it, but the restless imbalance in her body made her desperately need a violent surge of energy to suppress the trembling of her soul.
She looked at her expressionless self in the mirror, her heart as still as water, even carrying a near-cruel calm.
Half an hour later, an exquisite black-and-gold gift box arrived. Inside was a light gold low-cut, hip-hugging short dress, the fabric so sheer it resembled golden cicada wings, its bold cut accentuating every curve. Sun changed into the dress, letting the pale gold silk envelop her, slipped on high heels, and coldly got into the waiting black Rolls-Royce.
The destination was an extremely luxurious private mansion party.
Shen Yanzhi stood at the entrance in a sharply tailored black suit, one hand in his pocket, like a demon god controlling the entire scene.
Seeing Sun step out of the car, a flash of amazement and intense possessiveness crossed his eyes. He then raised his arm, signaling her to link hers with his.
Sun stared coldly at his solid arm, her tone sarcastic: “Which number girlfriend am I playing today? Is your harem short on people to fill the scene?”
Shen Yanzhi smiled, his large hand covering the back of hers as it linked with his arm, his voice teasing yet ruthless: “How about being number 1 forever?”
In that instant, Sun’s heartbeat skipped a beat.
This fluctuation was completely different from the peace Lu Yuan gave her—it was the trembling pleasure of being targeted by a dangerous beast.
Shen Yanzhi gave her no time to think, directly taking her hand and forcefully pulling her into the venue.
Amid clinking glasses and shifting lights, Shen Yanzhi led her through the social rounds.
While Sun elegantly handled the hypocritical flattery, she kept drinking the strong liquor served by waiters. Gradually, she realized something was wrong.
The scorching sensation from deep within her bones surged again, fiercer than ever. Her cheeks flushed with an unhealthy crimson, her eyes grew hazy, and her breathing turned hot and rapid.
“Impossible… this little alcohol…” Sun murmured. Her century-old tolerance could never collapse so easily; the only explanation was that Shen Yanzhi’s dark energy was wildly rebounding inside her.
Shen Yanzhi sensed her abnormality.
From behind, he extended a hand, his broad palm discreetly gripping Sun’s slender, supple waist, pulling her firmly against his scorching chest.
“Mmm…”
The moment Sun was touched, her entire body tingled as if electrified, and a suppressed moan escaped between her teeth.
Shen Yanzhi lowered his head, his breath spraying against her neck, his voice hoarse: “You’re burning up, Sun. Here… is it burning too?”
He noticed her reaction, and the desire below began to stir restlessly.
He led her to a secluded, dim corner.
“What’s wrong with you now?” Shen Yanzhi pressed her against the wall, his gaze aggressive.
“I don’t know… Shen Yanzhi… I’m so hot… I’m going crazy…” Sun tugged at her collar, making the light gold dress dip even lower.
Shen Yanzhi sneered, abruptly lifting the hem of her dress. His fingers brazenly caressed her through the thin lace panties, then his eyes darkened: “So wet, Sun. Your body is much more honest than your mouth.”
He grabbed Sun’s hand and forced it against his crotch, already hard as an iron rod. Through the fabric, Sun could feel it throbbing wildly.
“I’ll cool you down first, baby.”
2, 【Smoldering Embers】
Shen Yanzhi casually pushed open a guest room door. The room was dim and cramped, yet it became the perfect petri dish for this lustful riot.
Shen Yanzhi pulled Sun tightly into his arms, kissing her deeply with a punishing, plundering kiss that nearly stole all her oxygen.
Completely controlled by the restlessness in her body, Sun fought back, her slender fingers clumsily yet frantically unbuttoning his shirt before pushing him onto the narrow bed.
“I’ll do it.” Sun straddled his lap, her eyes seductive like a soul-stealing demoness, her long hair cascading down.
