Irresistible Desires

"Su Xiaoxiao!"

A man's voice, filled with terror to the brink of madness, resounded like a deafening tolling bell, pulling Su Xiaoxiao out of her chaotic consciousness.

A bone-chilling coldness engulfed her as she struggled to resurface from the depths of the water. With great effort, she fought her way to the surface, enduring the sharp pain as she opened her eyes. There, before her, was a young man dressed in coarse azure fabric, seemingly frantic as he swam towards her.

Not far from the riverbank, golden wheat fields stretched out, a sight she found all too familiar. In an instant, Su Xiaoxiao realized when and where she was.

How had she returned several decades into the past?!

Su Xiaoxiao's heart felt like it was being clawed at by talons of a beast, and the overwhelming pain even made her forget to call for help.

"No!"

"Please, just leave me alone!"

"I'm not worthy!"

Her mouth opened, but no breath would come. Tears welled up in her eyes and fell into the rushing river below. She couldn't fathom why she had been transported back in time.

It was Jiang Yexun's act of saving her life this time that had led to her marrying him even with a heart full of resentment. They argued daily, and she had even left him after the country resumed college entrance exams and returned to the city without hesitation.

Jiang Yexun, despite his rebellious nature, had bent over backward, even begging on his knees, to win her back. And what had she done? She had been so foolish as to marry that animal, Pan Yongsheng, instead of giving Jiang Yexun a chance.

Only after marriage did she truly understand the trials and tribulations of life. When she had become useless, she was marked for death by Pan Yongsheng in the guise of an "accident," after which her soul had been inexplicably bound to Jiang Yexun.

She had watched him suffer tremendously upon learning of her death. Ultimately he sent Pan Yongsheng to prison and made Pan’s entire family miserable for the rest of their lives.

Then, she witnessed him visiting her grave and assuring her that her family's revenge would soon be complete. This had nearly shattered her soul.

However, before she could fully comprehend the situation, Jiang’s car had been crushed by a sliding freight truck. She had lost consciousness completely.

Now, she had awakened once again, back to the time when she had fallen into the river.

"Xiaoxiao, don't be afraid!" Jiang Yexun, with naturally fierce brows and eyes, now appeared panicked. He only wished to reach her as quickly as possible.

Su Xiaoxiao felt a pang of heartache but continued to struggle vigorously, trying to swim away from Jiang Yexun. She had already caused him and his mother a lifetime of suffering; she couldn't afford to harm him further.

Suddenly, a flash of emerald green on her wrist caught her eye, causing her to pause in her efforts. It was Jiang Yexun's mother's heirloom jade bracelet. But wasn't this supposed to be unearthed by Jiang Yexun in the 1980s? How had it suddenly appeared on her wrist? If someone saw it, they would surely think she was a pampered heiress.

Su Xiaoxiao urgently tried to remove it to avoid trouble, but when she lifted her hand, the jade bracelet, made of imperial green glassy jade, vanished without a trace. Had it fallen into the river?

Su Xiaoxiao dunked her head into the water, intending to search for it. Seeing the girl he held deep within his heart disappear, Jiang Yexun was so terrified that his blood seemed to freeze. He followed suit, diving into the river.

As he watched the struggling young girl below, without making sure the method of rescuing he swam over and grabbed her shoulder. His callused fingertips felt like an electric shock as they brushed against Su Xiaoxiao's skin, causing her to shiver uncontrollably and lose all her strength.

Her hands, however, couldn't help but move toward the man beside her.

Jiang Yexun was unaware of her unusual state and anxiously held her shoulders, trying to bring her to the water's surface.

Before they could even swim back to the shore, Su Xiaoxiao suddenly turned around. Her slender and flexible limbs clung to Jiang Yexun like water snakes, wrapping around his strong waist.

Her legs under the water encircled his muscular waist, and her soft face pressed against his rugged, sun-exposed handsome face. Su Xiaoxiao's mind was acutely aware of what she was doing, but she couldn't control herself.

Her restless hands weren't satisfied with just touching on his clothes. They impatiently roamed, seeking an opening to touch the man's skin. What was happening to her?

Jiang Yexun cleared his dry throat, looking down at the little educated youth on top of him. Su Xiaoxiao felt his gaze and her pale face flushed with embarrassment. "I... I..." she stammered.

She didn't know what had gone wrong with her body. Why was it that she couldn't control herself whenever she was near Jiang Yexun? Even when she used all her rationality, it was as if she were glued to him, unable to resist the urge for intimacy. She even desired to do more audacious things.

Fortunately, after Su Xiaoxiao's death, her mindset improved over time. Since fate prevented her from staying away from Jiang Yexun, she decided to follow her true inner desires. From this day forward, she would live a good life with the silly man in front of her, making him the happiest person in the world.

"Be good, loosen up a bit," Jiang Yexun softly coaxed. However, the unique fragrance of the young girl permeated through her breath, stimulating every nerve in his body. He couldn't help but press his face against hers and even rubbed it a few times.

"Why did you take so long to come?" Su Xiaoxiao lightly complained with slightly pale lips. Her voice was tender, delicate, and provocative, carrying a strong sense of dependence. It made one want to give her everything, even their heart.

With such a timid nature, yet you dare to run by the river?!

Jiang Yexun gritted his teeth, lowering his head to look at the girl in his arms. Her face, soaked by the water, had lost its color. Her jet-black, silky hair clung to her cheeks. Despite the dire circumstances, it only stirred the primal instincts within him.

He couldn't help but touch his tongue to his back molars and silently cursed himself a beast. He no longer dared to look at this enchanting girl who had ensnared his very soul.

Jiang Yexun exerted all his strength to swim towards the riverbank, although their entwined position made it a challenging rescue. Their progress was made slower, but it didn’t make them sink into the river.

With their clothing already thin for early autumn, being soaked in the river made her contours even more pronounced. Even in the water, Jiang Yexun could distinctly feel her extraordinary softness.

Despite the frigid river, he felt his body grow unbearably warm, almost as if the water were boiling.

However, he knew that this restlessness was simply his own failing.

Although they were already tangled like a pair of twisted doughnuts, Su Xiaoxiao's body continued to demand more intimacy.

She twisted her waist restlessly, causing Jiang Yexun to inhale sharply. His already dark eyes deepened, a profound desire burning within them.

"Don't make a fuss!" He moved her arm encircling him slightly and gave it a gentle pat on the soft flesh that was acting up.
