His beautiful lips parted slightly, his tongue, nimble and hot, explored her mouth as if determined to brand her entirely with his scent.

Niu Shurui silently assessed the situation, unsure whether to interrupt. But the kiss didn't end. Instead, he slowly moved lower, collapsing against her chest, his tongue licking her tear-stained shoulder.

Finally, Niu Shurui spoke. "Ye Li, I'm hungry."

He glanced at the window, blinking as if surprised by the darkness. Then, he climbed off her, parting her legs again. Sensing her resistance, he soothed her with his hand. "I'll be gentle… Just one more time, I promise."

His c0ck, which had been hard for most of the day, hadn't softened during their respite. Instead, it remained er3ct, twitching, its tip seemingly opening and closing.

Niu Shurui, resigned, could only let him lift her hips and guide her onto him, inch by inch.

The position gave her a clear view. While she knew her stomach would swell to accommodate him, the sight of her abdomen distending slightly from his girth was still somewhat unsettling. She turned her head away, remembering her naive younger self watching p0rn, marveling at the seemingly impossible feat of such a large object entering a body.

If she could tell her past self that one day she would be filled by something that reached her cervix, she wouldn't have believed it.

True to his word, Ye Li was gentle once inside. He held her hips, slowly kneading them, his gaze fixated on how his c0ck pulled at her flesh with each thrust.

Niu Shurui's breathing quickened. She thought she was beyond feeling any pleasure, but his tenderness evoked a feeling of being cherished. No one could resist such gentleness, and her body responded in kind.

Her lower abdomen instinctively pushed towards him, and she could only curl her toes, her arched feet a tempting line in the air. Her hands clenched and unclenched on the sheets, unable to contain the surging wave of pleasure as she came.

Her fluids coated the head of his c0ck, causing Ye Li to lose control momentarily. He thrust hard, burying himself fully inside.

The sudden force wasn't unwelcome, but Ye Li, regaining control, looked apologetic. "I'm sorry, Niuniu, I couldn't help it."

He had promised her gentleness, and he should have kept his word. He saw her rapid breathing, knew she was aroused, but hesitated to continue.

Never having experienced tenderness, he would have relentlessly pursued his own satisfaction. But Niu Shurui had just held him with such affection, warming him to his core.

Without her response, he remained still, but the throbbing in his c0ck urged him on. Two conflicting impulses warred within him, and he felt the urge to cry again.

Niu Shurui took a while to recover. When she realized he had stopped moving, she found it odd. Turning to look at him, she felt a surprising urge to laugh. He had been so brutal earlier, but now he looked more like the victim.

"Didn't I say you could cry if you wanted to?" she said.

Tears immediately welled up. He thrust into her as he sobbed. "Niuniu… Niuniu…" Tears streamed down his face, some landing on her mound and sliding down to their juncture, where they were smeared by his movements.

His emotional turmoil translated into his thrusts, which became forceful again. Niu Shurui reached for his hand, trying to soothe him. "Slow down… Gently…"

He intertwined their fingers. "Almost there." He brought her hand to his lips, his teeth grazing her skin. Niu Shurui's heart skipped a beat. "Don't bite."

Caught, he gave her a pitiful look, but he didn't release her hand, instead sucking on her fingers.

The repeated s3x had left her hips numb, and her entrance offered no resistance. Within moments, he came, filling her.

He collapsed onto her chest, clinging to her like a child. "Niuniu… I'm so happy… Can I cry whenever I want from now on?"

"…Yes."

"You won't laugh at me?"

"No."

A joyful expression spread across his face, his cheeks flushed. "Then… what about other people? Will they laugh at me?"

Niu Shurui looked into his eyes, considered for a moment, and then gently pushed him upright. "Some people might laugh at you," she said seriously.

"But Ye Li, you need to understand that crying isn't shameful. Everyone has the right to cry. It has nothing to do with being better or worse than anyone else. Even the people who laugh at you cry sometimes."

It was an answer he hadn't expected. He no longer cared much about what others thought, as long as Niu Shurui didn't laugh at him. She was the only one who could affect him so deeply, making him swing between joy and sorrow.

But her utterly gentle response left him stunned, his expression blank, his eyes bright as he stared at her, like a child experiencing the world for the first time.

Just as Niu Shurui thought he might cry again, he smiled and buried himself in her embrace.
