65: Chapter 65 Tonight, I'll Pamper You (10)

The night was as dark as ink, and the sea reflected the scattered starlight.

The Many Children, Many Blessings sailed smoothly across the icy surface, only making a slight "crack crack" sound when the hull broke through thin ice.

Inside the cabin, it was warm and quiet.

Li Taiping stood in front of Yu Tong's door and knocked gently.

"Knock, knock."

"Who... who is it?" Yu Tong's somewhat nervous voice came from inside the room.

"Me." Li Taiping's voice wasn't loud, but in this quiet night, it sounded exceptionally clear.

There was silence in the room for a few seconds.

Then, a rustling sound followed, as if someone was getting out of bed.

Creak—

The door was opened a tiny crack, and Yu Tong's fair and delicate little face peeked out from behind it.

She looked like she had just bathed; her hair was still a bit damp, and she wore a loose white nightgown with a large collar, through which her delicate collarbones were faintly visible.

"Cap... Captain..."

Seeing that it was indeed Li Taiping standing outside, her little face flushed red instantly. Her eyes darted away, not daring to meet his gaze.

"It's so late, do... do you need something?"

"Didn't we agree during the day?" Li Taiping looked at her pure and innocent appearance, the smile at the corners of his mouth deepening. "Tonight, I've come to 'favor' you."

"I..." Yu Tong's face grew even redder, and her heart pounded uncontrollably. She instinctively wanted to close the door, but her hands wouldn't obey; instead, she opened the door a bit wider.

Li Taiping wasn't polite either; he squeezed inside sideways and then reached back to close the door.

"Click."

The sound of the door locking made Yu Tong's body tremble slightly.

She nervously twisted the hem of her nightgown, her head lowered, feeling her cheeks burning intensely.

This was her first time being alone in a room with a man at night.

Moreover, this man was her nominal captain, the person she would entrust everything to in the future.

Li Taiping looked around her room.

It was simple and clean, with a faint fragrance like shower gel lingering in the air.

"You seem very nervous?"

Li Taiping walked up to her and looked down at her.

"I... I'm not."

Yu Tong insisted stubbornly, but her slightly trembling body betrayed her.

"Really not?" Li Taiping reached out and gently tilted her chin up, forcing her to look up and meet his eyes.

What a pair of large eyes they were.

Clear as a spring, with the black and white distinct.

At this moment, however, they were clouded with a layer of mist due to nervousness and bashfulness, looking so pitiful that one couldn't help but want to tease her.

"Captain... I..." Yu Tong was flustered by his gaze, her lips trembling, not knowing what to say.

She had already prepared herself mentally.

From the moment she boarded this ship and learned the rules of this world, she knew this day would eventually come.

She didn't resent it; in fact... there was even a tiny bit of anticipation.

After all, the man before her was powerful, handsome, and very responsible—the perfect object of any girl's fantasy.

Giving him her first time didn't seem... like a bad thing.

But when the moment actually arrived, she was still so nervous she could hardly breathe.

"Are you ready?"

Li Taiping's voice, carrying a hint of seduction, rang in her ear.

Yu Tong's body went limp, and she almost couldn't stand steadily.

She felt as if her brain had turned into mush, and she could only give a slight nod by instinct.

The movement was so small it was almost invisible.

But Li Taiping saw it clearly.

He smiled.

He didn't continue flirting but instead picked her up by the waist.

"Ah!" Yu Tong let out a cry of surprise and instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck.

Li Taiping gently placed her on the large, soft bed.

The sheets were freshly changed and still smelled of sunlight.

Yu Tong lay on the bed like a lamb to be slaughtered, her eyes closed, her long eyelashes trembling continuously from nervousness.

She could feel Li Taiping lying down as well, right beside her.

She could smell the pleasant, masculine scent on him.

She could feel his burning gaze wandering over her body.

Her heart beat even faster.

Resisting yet yielding, welcoming yet bashful.

That was probably the most accurate description of her state right now.
