When Lu Yu made his intentions known, Li Wanning was caught off guard. She had not expected him to confront her in such a manner, particularly in light of the recent upheavals.
Over time, she had come to admire Lu Yu.
He was young, handsome, courageous, and capable - qualities that made him an ideal partner in the eyes of many women.
However, admiration and being in a relationship are two different things.
They had a considerable age difference, and Lu Yu was already involved with someone else. With these considerations, Li Wanning chose to suppress her feelings for the time being.
She expressed to Lu Yu,
" l value your sentiments, Lu Yu, but we are not a good match for each other."
"And what makes you say that?"
Lu Yu challenged her rationale, to which she replied,
"l am your teacher, and you are already involved with Yan Yun.
Isn't that unfair to her?"
"Teacher, it seems you still don't comprehend the reality of our situation," Lu Yu retorted, his eyebrows furrowing slightly.
"In this new world, the strong dominate, and it's not uncommon for a powerful man to have multiple wives. But let's not delve into that debate,
Miss Li. I just need your answer."
"Lu... Lu Yu, is this really necessary?" she inquired.
"Yes," he responded resolutely.
"And if... if I don't agree?" Li Wanning asked, her face reflecting her uncertainty.
"Disagree?" Lu Yu echoed her words, a smirk appearing on his lips.
He didn't respond immediately, instead, he slowly rose from his seat and approached Li Wanning.
Due to their height difference, Li Wanning instinctively took a step back.
But Lu Yu was quick to react, wrapping his arms around her waist and drawing her into his embrace.
Li Wanning's face turned pale with shock, and she instinctively tried to resist. But she was left stunned by Lu Yu's next words.
"If that's the case, then I will have no choice but to end your life with my own hands.„"
As the final moments approach, it seems that only force will be the means of communication. The one who wields the greater power will be the one who is heard. With no one else to intervene, Lu Yu boldly reveals his intentions.
Prior to ending Li Wanning's life, Lu Yu needed to complete certain necessary actions.
It would be wasteful to expend so much effort to eliminate Chu Feng. This would not be a prudent course of action.
Confronted with Lu Yu, Li Wanning felt a sense of panic. This wasn't solely due to Lu Yu's words but also because she found herself in a situation where she was embraced by a man, which was a novel experience for her.
"You... are you really going to kill me?"
Li Wanning questioned Lu Yu, her body trembling, unsure if her reaction stemmed from anxiety or fear, or perhaps a combination of the two.
The comfort she felt while crying on his shoulder earlier was now replaced by alarm.
"Of course!"
Lu Yu replied coldly, not showing any concern for Li Wanning's feelings.
A cruel smile played on his lips as he reached out and tilted her chin up with his hand.
"I won't let any other man near the woman I desire.
If you won't be with me, then your life ends here!" Lu Yu declared, his words chilling and unexpected.
As he gazed at Li Wanning's lovely face, Lu Yu couldn't resist any longer and kissed her.
"Mmmmm..."
Lu Yu's statement left Li Wanning dumbfounded. She couldn't react immediately, and before she knew it, she felt Lu Yu's lips on hers.
Caught off guard, Li Wanning experienced her first kiss from a male, a warmth that she had never felt before.
Unexpectedly, this kiss came from a boy much younger than her.
Li Wanning finally reacted and attempted to push Lu Yu away, but he released her just as she tried, leaving her slightly puzzled.
"What are you up to?" Li Wanning inquired, still in shock.
Lu Yu responded nonchalantly, "Miss Li, how long has it been since you had something to drink?
"Your lips seem quite chapped."
Li Wanning had her hair styled in a braid, and had only been in school for five days. As a result, her scent was nicer compared to that of Qiao Manli.
Li Wanning's chapped lips were an unsatisfying sensation for Lu Yu.
Li Wanning was about to respond, but she suddenly questioned the situation.
Did Lu Yu just kiss her?
Why didn't she push him away?
Was it out of fear?
Even after kissing her, he still seemed to disdain her dry lips.
Was this some sort of attempt to make her humble or gain favor?
Before she could process her thoughts, Lu Yu had already extended a bottle of opened mineral water towards her.
He gently urged, "You should hydrate…"
Li Wanning felt an urge to protest, but she realized that since parting ways with Lu Yu, she had barely consumed any food or water.
This was the reason why Wei Jianjun had offered her sustenance the previous night.
At this moment, her body was in dire need of nourishment and hydration.
Upon seeing the water bottle that Lu Yu was offering, she momentarily set aside her concerns about his overbearing demeanor.
Overwhelmed by her physical needs, she accepted the mineral water and began to drink it immediately.
Gulp! Gulp! Gulp!
The sound of her gulping down the water echoed in the room, becoming the sole audible noise in the otherwise silent space. Once she had quenched her thirst, she screwed the cap back onto the bottle.
Without missing a beat, Lu Yu then presented her with two packets of bread.
He made a bold declaration, "If you choose to be with me, I will ensure your safety…"
"I…I…I"
His calm and composed voice caused Li Wanning to freeze, still clutching the mineral water bottle.
It was difficult for her to comprehend that a promise of protection was being offered by a student who was significantly younger than her.
However, when Lu Yu uttered those words, they didn't seem out of place. He not only possessed the capability to protect her, but she had also, unknowingly, started to rely on him for support.
But there was one thing…
Li Wanning was initially intended to be the leading lady in Chu Feng's life, but Lu Yu had made his acquaintance before Chu Feng did.
She found herself reminiscing about the numerous challenges and perils that she and Lu Yu had braved together over time.
In reality, Li Wanning found herself instinctively leaning towards agreement.
However, her deeply rooted beliefs struggled to reconcile with the idea of a man having multiple wives and concubines. The fact that she would be considered 'the other woman' was particularly troubling for her, causing her to hesitate.
This time, however, Lu Yu didn't afford her much time for contemplation.
He interpreted her hesitation not as a refusal, but as a sign of her being on the brink of agreement, held back only by embarrassment.
He realized that a bold move at this juncture could potentially tip the scales in his favor.
With this understanding, Lu Yu, without uttering a word, set aside the food he had offered earlier and once again pulled her into his embrace.
This time, his actions were not limited to a mere kiss; his hand ventured further, something he had long desired to do but never had the opportunity.
Finally, he was able to fulfill his desire.
He clawed at Li wanning ass, The sensation was Heavenly.
Li Wanning was taken aback by Lu Yu's audacity. She hadn't anticipated such boldness from him. In her initial state of shock, she hadn't been able to push him away.
Even when she regained her senses, she found herself not pushing him away, but merely making a symbolic attempt to resist his advances.
She was at a loss, unable to comprehend her own reactions.
Was she afraid that Lu Yu would harm her?
No, that was definitely not the case. Having witnessed the horrors of the apocalypse, she realized that she wasn't as fearful of death as she had initially thought.
Li Wanning was certain of this.
But if it wasn't fear, then what was it?
Could it be possible that she had developed feelings for this young man who had faced the apocalypse head-on?
As she pondered over these thoughts, Lu Yu released her.
Mm mm ha! ha! ha..!
She gasped for air, her brain having been deprived of oxygen due to her holding her breath for so long.
As she took deep breaths, her chest rising and falling dramatically, Lu Yu's teasing voice echoed in her ears once more.
"Miss Li, call me husband?"
