Chapter 43 Side Story: Brother's Chapter 7

Ling Wei's mind went blank. She pressed her hands against his scarred chest, but couldn't push him away even a little.

She could clearly feel his hot tears mixed with sweat dripping down, and she could also feel his desperate yet burning love completely overwhelming her.

"How could you come back?! Why did you come back?!"

His forehead was pressed against hers, his eyes fixed on her with a hazy and painful gaze, as if trying to etch her image into the depths of his soul.

"Why... am I... happy..."

"I love you……"

The sudden confession left Ling Wei stunned. "I've dragged you down... In our next life... we'll apologize to Niu Niu and Xing Ye..."

Ling Wei: ? ? ?

She then realized that he thought she had come back to die with him.

But she didn't have time to think about it at the moment. You Jingxuan's body temperature was alarmingly high, and his wounds also needed to be treated.

More importantly, his mental state was extremely dangerous under the dual impact of drugs and despair.

She cupped his burning cheeks in her hands, forcing his confused gaze to focus on her face.

She conveyed a message of reassurance and calm through her eyes.

However, You Jingxuan seemed lost in his own world, still muttering "Weiwei," "I'm sorry," and "next life" indistinctly...

Ling Wei sighed helplessly. Forget it, it's futile to reason with someone who's out of their mind.

She gave up struggling and let him hold her tightly like a wounded large dog.

She raised one hand and gently stroked his sweaty hair, while her other hand carefully avoided the wound on his back and wrapped around his strong waist, offering him support and support in a silent way.

This soothing gesture seemed to have an effect; You Jingxuan's tense body gradually relaxed and calmed down.

But his hand remained firmly gripping her waist, as if she would disappear if he let go.

Ling Wei remained in that position, feeling his burning body temperature and fragile heartbeat, her heart filled with mixed emotions.

She closed her eyes and gently pressed her face against his sweaty forehead.

During the intermittent effects of the medication, You Jingxuan briefly regained consciousness.

Recalling his blunder, he was instantly overwhelmed by immense shame and guilt.

Ling Wei felt his body stiffen and his attempt to pull away. Just as she was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he hugged her even tighter?

She looked up at him, puzzled.

When You Jingxuan met her clear gaze, his ears instantly turned bright red.

He turned his face away awkwardly, his Adam's apple bobbing a few times, and then, in a fit of despair, buried his face back in the crook of his neck, his muffled voice hoarse with a hint of self-abandonment: "...dizzy, weak."

Ling Wei: ……

What strength do you need to let go?

But the burning heat and slight trembling on his body were real.

Ling Wei had no choice but to let him do as he pleased.

"Don't move..." he mumbled a complaint, his voice sticky and mushy, "...It hurts."

Ling Wei felt uncomfortable as he rubbed against her, and reached out to push his heavy head away.

The moment her fingers touched his sweaty forehead, he grabbed her wrist. He opened his eyes, his gaze still misty and burning with desire, staring intently at her. Then... he lowered his head and gently pecked the delicate skin on the inside of her wrist.

Ling Wei tried to pull her hand back as if she had been electrocuted, but he gripped it even tighter.

He kissed her wrist repeatedly, as if he had found a new toy, his lips following the veins on the inside of her wrist with a kind of almost pious greed.

Ling Wei felt a chill run down her spine. She pushed his shoulder with her other hand, and You Jingxuan took the opportunity to grab her hand and, in the same manner, slowly kissed her palm, starting from her fingertips.

The soft, moist texture creates a strong tingling sensation.

Ling Wei: !!!

She could no longer bear it and gently nudged his injured abdomen with her knee.

"Ugh!" You Jingxuan groaned in pain, finally stopping the sticky "hand cleaning" work.

He looked up, his beautiful eyes glistening with tears, a hint of grievance and accusation in them as he looked at her: "You hit me again."

He completely lost his usual calm and composed CEO demeanor; he was practically a different person.

But I must say...

The two brothers burned exactly the same.

You Jingxuan's Adam's apple bobbed again as he looked at her glaring expression.

Instead of restraining himself, he tightened his arms, pressing her even closer into his embrace, resting his chin on the top of her head, letting out a satisfied sigh, and even instinctively learning to rub his cheek against her hair.

Ling Wei: ……

Destroy it, I'm tired.

When he was sober, You Jingxuan's eyes were filled with conflicting emotions as he tried to maintain his fragile dignity and rationality, but his body honestly clung to her side.

When the drug took effect, it became even more intense; clinging to the object was the norm, and they would seize any opportunity to kiss and rub against it.

When Ling Wei explained that she was waiting for rescue, he simply pulled her closer to him, mumbled "okay," and continued to sniff her neck, or when she tried to break free, he would precisely capture her lips and soothe her with a long, tender kiss.

It felt like he had given up thinking and was going to become a "do-or-die couple" with her.

Two days later, late at night, a deafening roar shattered the silence of the high seas.

Several imposing warships flying national flags broke through the waves like steel behemoths and instantly surrounded the cruise ship. Well-trained and well-equipped special forces soldiers descended like divine warriors and quickly took control of the entire ship.

In the chaos, the leading officer, with a resolute face, scanned the crowd with lightning speed before striding towards Ling Wei, whom Hu Zi had instinctively shielded behind him.

"Dr. Ling Wei!" The officer stopped in front of her, his posture upright as a pine tree, his gaze sharp and full of respect. He gave a crisp, standard military salute. "The National 'Deep Blue' Rescue Team has been dispatched! You are safe!"

Ling Wei's tense nerves finally relaxed, and she nodded slightly.

Supported by two soldiers, You Jingxuan was clearly taken aback by the sudden rescue. His face showed signs of injury and exhaustion, but his deep eyes were fixed on Ling Wei.

Tiger, standing to the side, gaped with an mouth wide enough to fit an egg, his eyes wide and round, staring at the scene before him. After a long while, he finally managed to squeeze out a gasp of astonishment, trembling with tears:

"My goodness... Sister-in-law, is this... your 'company perk'?!"
