Ning Ning rolled over in her bed in great comfort, from lying flat on her back to lying prone.
She had had several long and confusing dreams, and now that she was awake, she couldn't remember anything. She just felt her mind was empty and refreshed.
The abundant spiritual energy swirled in her sea of consciousness like a gurgling mountain spring, occasionally pulling it slightly, bringing out fragmented memories like movie clips.
Wait, spiritual power.
Ning Ning closed her eyes and thought dazedly, didn't she use up all her spiritual power before? What happened in the Demon Refining Tower?
Oh, she ate half of the Lingshu Immortal Grass and entered Pei Ji's inner demon.
Her thoughts got stuck here.
The endless blackness and the shadow of the young man standing in the darkness emerged in Ningning's mind. Ningning remembered that she walked towards him step by step, and then -
Pei Ji's lips were soft.
This thought rose to the top of her head, and her chaotic consciousness suddenly became clear.
Ningning felt a heat spreading from the soles of her feet to all parts of her body, and the blood in her heart became boiling and bubbling.
No, it can't be.
She, she, she and Pei Ji were close -
Ningning suddenly opened her eyes and stopped thinking.
Ningning curled up into a skinny dead fish and rolled stiffly to the side of the bed.
Her movements were careless and she almost fell off the bed. Fortunately, a hand suddenly reached out from her side and gently pressed on Ningning's shoulder.
It was the right hand of a young man, with slender fingers, distinct joints, light pink nails, and dark scars on the back of the hand.
After the tumbling just now, the whole quilt was wrapped around her, leaving only her messy head exposed. Ningning looked up blankly and met a pair of dark eyes.
Pei Ji sat on the bed and lowered his eyes to look at her. His Adam's apple moved silently, and he was about to say something.
The tightly pursed lips seemed to open.
In the last memory, Pei Ji stood in the dead silence and darkness, and kissed her earlobe and collarbone with it.
Ning Ning: ...
The heat on her ears is heavier than before.
Remaining sanity: 50%.
Ning Ning shifted her gaze away from his thin lips, tried to straighten her face, and shrank her whole body into the quilt, leaving only her eyes darting around and pretending to be calm.
It's over.
Now, whenever she saw Pei Ji, her heart would immediately start to move like an electric motor, beating in her chest with a thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, as if it would jump out in the next second. She
hoped he wouldn't notice the blush on her face, otherwise Ning Ning would be ashamed to death.
"...Are you feeling better?"
Pei Ji saw her dodging, and hastily lowered his long eyelashes. From Ning Ning's angle of looking up, he could see the shadows floating in her black eyes.
He paused as he spoke, and he also showed a bit of panic, and deliberately lowered his voice: "Are you still feeling uncomfortable?"
Ning Ning told the truth: "Much better."
In fact, Pei Ji seemed to be in a worse state than her.
Her body was full of spiritual power, and there were no obvious external injuries on her body. She must have been carefully nursed back to health. When she woke up from her sleep, she looked no different from when she got up lazily on weekdays.
But Pei Ji was completely different.
He was rarely wearing white clothes, and his black hair hung down, making his face bloodless. His eyes seemed to be smudged with a thin layer of ink, dyeing them dark blue as if they had not been able to rest for a long time.
At this glance, he seemed to be the one who was more suitable to lie in bed.
Ning Ning pondered her words for a long time, rubbed the quilt with her nose, and asked him in a low voice: "How are your injuries?"
Pei Ji pursed his lips slightly, then replied softly: "It's okay. Most of my injuries are superficial. Just apply some medicine."
"Please, you call those 'superficial injuries'?"
Cheng Ying thought of the deep bite marks and scratches he had in the beast tide, and just wanted to give this disappointing boy a beating: "At this time, you should act coquettishly and beg for a hug! How can you not describe your own misery, but instead downplay it!"
The more it thought about it, the more aggrieved it felt, and it simply lay down and jumped around: "I don't agree! Why don't you tell the truth!"
Pei Ji ignored it with a cold face.
Ning Ning couldn't hear its voice, so she couldn't respond. She continued Pei Ji's words, "You didn't stay here for a long time, did you?"
Bingo!
This question was a bit teasing. Even if Pei Ji hadn't been waiting by the bed, she wouldn't seem too self-indulgent and could be fooled with jokes.
Thanks to the charm of the Chinese language!
"Yes, yes, yes! This brat hasn't slept for three days and two nights!"
Cheng Ying became energetic again, and shouted righteously: "He didn't go to Baicaotang or take a medicinal bath. He just did a simple bandage and ran here. He's like a husband-waiting stone. If he doesn't move, he's going to mold - Pei Ji, tell me the truth!"
Pei Ji: "Just a little while."
Cheng Ying was so angry that she vomited milk.
Although Pei Ji's words were unclear, Ning Ning already knew the answer from the obvious dark blue.
That is to say, for a long time, those beautiful and deep peach blossom eyes were fixed on her face.
But she was unaware of everything -
and so on.
At that time, she... wouldn't snore or grind her teeth.
Ning Ning's expression froze, and her thoughts ran wildly in a strange direction.
She had just woken up from a dream, and her hair must have been a mess. He also saw her twisting and turning in the quilt like a worm.
Remaining sanity value: 30%.
Ning Ning's heart skipped a beat, and she took a breath softly: "When I was asleep, did I snore or drool?"
Pei Ji was stunned and shook his head.
She breathed a sigh of relief subconsciously, but still asked him with a little uncertainty: "Then, then I shouldn't have said anything... weird in my sleep, right?"
Still shaking her head,
Ningning said "Oh".
It's so strange. She was extremely nervous from beginning to end because of the incident in her inner demon, but Pei Ji didn't seem to care. Both his expression and tone were the same as usual.
It was clearly him who did it without giving any explanation at that time -
Ning Ning was slightly stunned when she thought of this.
It was him who leaned over and kissed her, and it was also him who admitted that he "liked" her, but she just kept pressing on like teasing, and asked "Do you like me?"
From beginning to end, she didn't express her feelings clearly. Now that she woke up from the dream, she didn't mention what happened at that time.
It was just like a scumbag who teased him in every way, but played dumb after he responded.
In fact, if you look closely, Pei Ji's ears seem to have been slightly red all the time.
He is waiting for her response.
...Don't.
Ning Ning huddled up even tighter. She would blush even when looking at Pei Ji now. If she said "I like you" to his face, her heart would explode and she would die.
So where did she get such courage at that time! There was no way out for her at this moment, so annoying!
"The trial of the Ten Dharma Conference has ended, and the results will be announced in the City Lord's Mansion of Luancheng tomorrow."
Pei Ji couldn't guess the entanglements in her heart, lowered his eyes and said in a deep voice: "The elders of Baicaotang have healed your injuries together, and now there should be no serious problem, you can--"
He didn't finish his words, and suddenly saw the little girl curled up in the quilt sitting up straight from the bed.
As if she felt uncomfortable twisting her body to look at him, Ning Ning frowned, turned her whole body around, and knelt on the bed to face him.
Pei Ji was much taller than her, but sitting on a low wooden stool beside the bed, she had to slightly raise her head to see Ning Ning's eyes.
One tall and one short, the height difference between the two suddenly reversed at this moment.
"Pei Ji."
She didn't know what she was thinking, and she knelt forward and got closer to him: "...Come here."
So the black-haired and white-clothed boy raised his head as he was told, against the sunlight outside the window, and caught her slender outline in the halo.
Every strand of hair was stained with the midday light, and between the flickering light spots, the fine white fluff on the girl's cheeks could be clearly seen.
Ning Ning lowered her head, while Pei Ji looked up at her in an almost submissive manner, waiting blankly for her next move.
He saw her blink.
Then without any warning, she moved closer and closer to him.
His heartbeat suddenly quickened at this moment, and the young man, who usually did not show his emotions, paused for a moment, and his pupils shrank.
Ning Ning's lips were nourished by spiritual energy, and they were incredibly soft. They covered his dry and cold thin lips, and seemed to tremble slightly.
It was difficult to describe the feeling at that moment. The soft flesh covering his lips sank inwards with just a slight touch, and the scent of gardenias, mixed with a faint medicinal aroma, enveloped him completely.
This kiss led by her came and went in a hurry, and Ning Ning soon sat up straight.
She seemed to want to look him straight in the eye, but when their eyes met, she lowered her head hastily, her legs restlessly clasped together: "This is a response."
Pei Ji still kept raising his eyes, listening to her hesitant words, the volume getting lower and lower: "That is, I, I like you too...meaning."
The room was quiet for a moment.
"Pei Xiaoji, what are you doing standing there! Go up and kiss her! Kiss her hard! Didn't you specifically ask me how to kiss!"
Chengying covered her eyes very consciously, rolling around in her sea of consciousness, shouting wildly: "Use your tongue to flick her lips, quickly!"
Pei Ji did not move.
——How could Pei Ji not move!
Ning Ning did not get his response, her mind was in a mess, and the villain in her heart was already vomiting blood crazily.
She was ready for more exciting scenes, but he didn't show any reaction, not even a word -
Ningning suppressed her pounding heart, her gaze swirled around, and finally fell back to Pei Ji.
He was actually looking at her.
She had never seen such a look in Pei Ji's eyes, full of undercurrents that were about to overflow, staring into her eyes without blinking.
No one could resist such a look.
Ningning felt empty in her heart, and then her whole heart froze.
- Pei Ji's narrow eyes slowly raised, the frost in his eyes faded, and a faint smile appeared. He blinked lightly, causing her chest to tremble violently.
Looking down further, she could see the thin lips that she had kissed.
The boy's lips were no longer pale and dry as before. For some reason, they were shimmering with water and stained with soft pink.
Very beautiful, and a little sexy.
She seemed to understand.
The reason why Pei Ji didn't move was because after her light touch, he used the tip of his tongue... to lick the place where he was kissed.
Remaining sanity: 10%.
Ning Ning felt like she was about to die.
Why did he do such a little trick? Is he an idiot?
Compared to the direct counterattack she had imagined, Pei Ji's move made her even more uneasy.
Once they stopped talking, the house became too quiet. The sunlight outside the window quietly flowed in, making everything restless. Ning Ning inexplicably felt a breath of danger.
She decided to say something to ease the surging ambiguity, and was about to talk nonsense when she suddenly smelled a smell of blood coming from Pei Ji.
He had been injured in the beast tide before, and before he could get treated, he got entangled in a fight with the black dragon. Now there was blood, and the wound must have been broken.
Ning Ning's heart moved, and she spoke softly: "Didn't you heal your wound well?"
She frowned as she spoke, and almost subconsciously reached out and pulled down the collar of his neck. As expected, she saw a streak of blood on the bandage.
Ning Ning pursed her lips, and used her fingertips to push the white clothes down.
Pei Ji's body froze, but he did not refuse.
His shirt was slowly peeled off from his shoulders, and the blood stains gradually became invisible.
Ning Ning was watching with annoyance and heartache at first, but her eyes unexpectedly met the light pink color on Pei Ji's cold white skin, and she realized belatedly that something was wrong.
Although she had applied medicine to Pei Ji before, it was always the latter who took off his shirt on his own initiative, revealing his upper body without reservation.
But now it was completely different.
He was holding his clothes well, but they were pushed aside by her fingertips. The snow-white clothes slid down silently, slowly revealing the boy's white jade neck and shoulders, and a few strands of scattered black hair hung on his shoulders, making it even more obvious. Ning Ning glanced out of the corner of her eye
and could see Pei Ji's Adam's apple rolling up and down.
His face was so red, even his Adam's apple was pink.
Come to think of it, before meeting her, Pei Ji seldom had contact with outsiders, even holding hands and hugging were extremely unfamiliar to him. Now he has directly transitioned to this kind of action...
It's like skipping from kindergarten to high school, and instantly stepping half a foot into the adult world.
Even if this is really just a normal wound inspection.
Remaining sanity value: 5%.
Ning Ning took a deep breath, trying to get the atmosphere back on track, hurriedly pulled his shirt back in place, and tried to speak slowly: "Does it hurt a lot?"
This is a somewhat redundant question, because there is no need to think about it. According to Pei Ji's personality, he will definitely say coldly "It doesn't hurt."
He has always been like this. No matter how uncomfortable he is, he will just keep silent and hide it in his heart, and will not tell anyone.
Then in the silent room, Ning Ning heard a familiar voice.
Pei Ji said, "...it hurts."
The clear boy's voice was slightly magnetic, with a more stiff and clumsy tone, but also a little aggrieved.
The electric current began to grow from the ears, and quickly spread to every corner of the body at a speed faster than the blink of an eye, and every drop of blood itched and softened.
Ning Ning lowered her head in a daze and met Pei Ji's eyes.
He also looked up at her, his face was full of a faint red that spread all the way to the end of his upturned eyes. The long eyelashes like crow feathers suddenly blinked, drawing out the fragments of light floating in the black pupils.
He has never surrendered to anyone.
When he was tortured and insulted as a child, and when he was deliberately targeted and almost died as a teenager, Pei Ji never said this word in person.
But now he looked at her with such eyes and whispered "pain".
Fatal critical hit.
Remaining sanity value: ...
There is a voice in the mind that keeps repeating: the body is damaged, damaged, and cannot be repaired.
Crackling, bang, bang, the fireworks in the head kept exploding.
What is sanity, has it ever existed in her body?
It seems not.
Ning Ning heard her own voice: "Then what should I do...so that you won't feel so uncomfortable?"
God.
She must be crazy.
