When she came to her senses, he casually wiped his face; there were no visible marks on his face, but his eyes were still frighteningly red.
Song Xiwei stood there, her mind almost blank, because of Aoqian...
"I'm sorry, I was being reckless," Aoqian apologized again.
Strangely, his state of mind was completely different from before.
Because Song Xiwei didn't push him away. He had already changed back into men's clothing and did it tentatively with despair, but she didn't push him away.
Does this mean he still has hope?
Song Xiwei didn't have time to think about why she didn't push Aoqian away and let him be. She didn't think about it any further. But when she saw the joy that replaced the pain in Aoqian's beautiful eyes and how they were sparkling with light, she couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips.
"Young Master, you're finally back!"
From this meeting onwards, Aoqian subtly created a sense of distance between them.
Even after such intimate actions, it remains the same.
However, all of this distance was dispelled when Aoqian looked at her with eyes full of light and joy.
Her familiar Aoqian has returned.
That's wonderful.
When Song Xi smiles, his eyes crinkle, a style completely different from Ao Qian's.
Aoqian's smile softens his aggressiveness, making him appear docile and even somewhat obedient, but Song Xi's smile is like melting ice and snow, a gentle spring breeze, refreshing and tender, making it hard not to be moved.
That's it. Because he had struggled, he knew he couldn't let her go, so he decided to just give up and take it one step at a time.
"Yes, I'm back, Song Xiwei."
He smiled as he watched her reach out and pinch her cheek.
She smiled contentedly. "Young Master, don't go so long without contacting me in the future. Look at the bloodshot in my eyes. I've been so worried about you these past few days."
Aoqian remained silent, just as he had.
The torment and struggle of the past few days made him see things more clearly: he couldn't live without Song Xiwei; he had ultimately become selfish, especially after that kiss, when his reason was completely shattered.
He didn't want to live without Song Xiwei, didn't want to return to the empty Chidu, and didn't want to be like a lost soul. Even with great power, he felt he had nothing.
So, it's fine if he just gives up. Song Xiwei has always known how bad his situation is. As long as he doesn't do anything as heinous as Kong Xi, Song Xiwei won't leave him.
He didn't think too far ahead, such as using cunning to make Song Xiwei develop feelings for him.
He didn't want to do that.
Song Xiwei was incredibly intelligent; his scheming not only insulted her wisdom but also tarnished his own feelings for her.
He wanted to like her purely, without any impurities.
If the only way to keep her by his side is to be his subordinate or partner, then let her continue to be his subordinate or partner.
What he overlooked was that people are greedy, and he was no exception; as time went on, he would want more.
The two returned to their previous natural and relaxed way of getting along.
If it weren't for the still very obvious scars on Song Xiwei's lips, Aoqian could clearly see those scars every time she opened her mouth, and he would involuntarily think of the scene when he bit her.
His heart was racing, his body temperature was soaring, and he knew, as if he vaguely sensed, that something had spiraled out of control, and it wouldn't be so easy to suppress it anymore.
"I was wrong, I actually saw your telepathic message."
Upon hearing this, Song Xiwei was not surprised at all. Her eyes sparkled with a dazzling light as she said, "Young Master, shall I go back to Chidu with you?"
Aoqian did not speak, nor did he avoid her gaze.
He suddenly felt like he was being a bit stupid. When people are troubled by love, are they not very smart?
