Xia Wan felt a dull ache in her heart as she listened.

"sorry."

She looked away, no longer looking at him.

She had nothing to say except "I'm sorry".

She had anticipated this day from the moment she received the system's strategy mission.

Her conscience and her initial desire to go home would eventually clash, and she couldn't have both. She could only think about what she could do for Cui Ziqi in the limited time she had.

She knew she might not be able to make up for the hurt she had caused him, but at least it made her feel better.

Yes, how selfish.

But she wanted to go home, so she had no choice.

Her conscience was troubled, but she had no regrets.

"It's okay, I forgive you."

Cui Ziqi's voice softened again.

He whispered softly yet cruelly in Xia Wan's ear, "Anyway, you'll stay with me forever, so I forgive you."

Xia Wan's eyes widened suddenly.

Cui Ziqi's kiss landed again.

All her fear was swallowed, and her hands, which had been pushing away, were gripped and pinned above her head.

She tried to struggle, but Cui Ziqi's kiss landed on her ear, and she shuddered.

"What did you do to Zheng Minghuai when you were using him for missions?"

What?

Xia Wan dodged to the side.

Cui Ziqi chased after him.

Have you ever held him?

He held her wrist with one hand and her waist with the other, pressing his lips to the corner of her mouth, "Have you kissed him?"

Xia Wan knew she couldn't escape this fate.

But she was angry and didn't want to be in a weak position, so she stubbornly said:

They hugged, kissed, and even slept together!

It would be best if Cui Ziqi thought she was too casual and dumped her!

The atmosphere in the bedroom suddenly became tense, and the burning kiss vanished.

Xia Wan secretly glanced at him.

When she met those eyes brimming with desire, she was instantly jolted awake.

"Asleep?"

Xia Wan felt a chill on her neck, and she felt like she was going to die any second.

But she swallowed hard and said, "I'm willing to risk everything to complete the mission and get home!"

The feeling of pressure on my head is getting stronger and stronger.

Xia Wan clutched the silk bed sheet, her heart pounding.

Cui Ziqi's eyes were bloodshot as he leaned down to look at her, a smile playing on his lips.

"If there's no bloodshed on our wedding day, I'll go kill him tomorrow!"

We're doomed!

Xia Wan had just opened her mouth when her words were swallowed back down.

The days are long.

When Xia Wan woke up again, it was already dark.

There is the sound of rain outside the window.

Just like her homesickness at this moment, it poured down like a torrential downpour.

Unfortunately, she didn't have a few seconds to feel sentimental before the waves of pain jolted her mind into a blank as she turned over.

Her arms, with their firm lines, stretched across her waist.

As soon as she moved, her arm retracted inward.

A man's hoarse voice came from above, "It's getting dark, time to sleep."

Xia Wan gritted her teeth and kicked the person next to her hard.

Cui Ziqi's sleepiness gradually dissipated, and he looked down at her in the dim light.

Are you hungry?

It would have been better if she hadn't mentioned it, because as soon as she did, her stomach growled.

Cui Ziqi seemed to be in a good mood. She mercifully withdrew her arm, got up, and turned on the bedroom light.

Indeed, practice makes perfect.

What she said about sleeping with Zheng Minghuai is all a lie!

He deliberately adjusted the lighting to an orange hue, making the large bedroom feel warm and inviting.

Xia Wan glanced at most of the furniture she liked in the bedroom, closed her eyes, and snuggled into the covers.

She's annoyed.

My heart is aching and sore, just like my body is suffering.

Cui Ziqi put on her pajamas and, looking refreshed, pulled off the blanket.

What would you like to eat?

"Get out! I don't want to see you!"

Xia Wan felt she had been forced, and that the man's technique was very poor!

She was in a lot of pain.

Cui Ziqi realized something was wrong.

He pulled Xia Wan's hand and forced her to look at him.

Are you feeling unwell?

His eyes were filled with deep worry.

Xia Wan was even more annoyed. What was she supposed to say?

"Does it hurt?" Cui Ziqi asked patiently.

Xia Wan gave a soft "hmm," and a hint of guilt appeared in Cui Ziqi's eyes.

He patted Xia Wan's head. "Wait for me a moment."

He left the room.

As Xia Wan listened to the sound of rain, a wave of homesickness washed over her.

She turned to the side and looked out the window.

Lightning ripped through the dark sky, illuminating the distant mountains, which stretched out in a dark, undulating expanse.

Another flash of lightning appeared, and the shadows of trees in the distance swayed, baring their fangs and claws, like ghosts.

Suddenly, that image flashed through her mind again.

On a stormy night, the shadows of trees were stretched long by lightning, and rain lashed at birds flying low. The birds could not withstand the onslaught of the rain and died, their bodies falling to the ground.

Not far from the bird's carcass, the little boy's head had emerged from the ground.

He looked up at the lightning, his empty eyes devoid of any will to live.

"Here you are! Don't be afraid, I'm here to save you!"

The little girl's voice cut through the sound of the rain.

Xia Wan saw the girl's small figure running towards her from a distance, wearing a dress and walking hurriedly.

She inexplicably sensed the little girl's anxiety, and despite the pain of the rain pounding on her body, she ran hurriedly toward the little boy.

It feels like being there in person.

Xia Wan had a slight headache.

She frowned slightly, as if something was about to break through the depths of her heart.

The bedroom door opened again.

Cui Ziqi came in carrying a medicine box, rummaged through it, took out a bottle of medicine, and walked to the bedside.

"The medicine Tang Xiao gave me is very effective."

Xia Wan's thoughts were interrupted.

She glanced at the ointment on Cui Ziqi's hand and felt as if she had been struck by lightning.

He's really well-prepared!
