Habit is a terrible thing. It will quietly tamper with a person's mind inadvertently.
When Xiao Che wanted to support Xia Qingyue during the wedding, she mercilessly froze his arm. The first time he called her "wife", she almost lost her temper. The first time he held her hand, Xiao Che could feel the cold murderous aura coming from her...
In just a few days, Xiao Che had gotten more and more comfortable calling her "Qingyue Wife". She had already accepted it. No matter what she thought in her heart, she had completely accepted the title on the surface. Not to mention being held by his hand, even taking off clothes in front of him was no longer so awkward.
In the past few days, Xiao Che undoubtedly slept in the corner, but with a thick blanket on the floor, he finally didn't sleep so badly. And every morning at three o'clock, he would wake up and use silver needles to "treat" her. In the past few days, she has increasingly felt how amazing her physical condition has changed.
The light was dim, but Xia Qingyue's naked back was still as white as jade, and her skin was as shiny as snow. Xiao Che held the silver needles in his hand, his fingertips dancing, and soon he was sweating profusely. After two quarters of an hour, another "Tongxuan" was completed. Xiao Che put away all the silver needles and let out a long breath. In exhaustion, his brain suddenly felt dizzy, his body swayed, and his whole body fell directly on Xia Qingyue's naked back. An indescribable warm, soft and smooth feeling suddenly came from his chest.
Xia Qingyue suddenly opened her eyes, a hint of anger flashing in them. Just as she was about to exert her strength to shove Xiao Che away, she suddenly realized that his aura at this moment was extremely weak... several times weaker than any time before.
Xia Qingyue’s profound strength was immediately retracted, and she pushed Xiao Che away with only a small amount of strength. Then she instantly pulled up her clothes, turned around, stretched out her hands to support Xiao Che’s body, and looked at him and asked: “What’s wrong with you?”
Xiao Che's face was pale without a trace of blood, and his eyes were half-open, as if he had lost the strength to open them completely. He shook his head slightly and said weakly, "It's okay... It's just that my strength and energy are a little... Overdrawn... Just let me rest for a while."
Xia Qingyue's eyes swayed slightly, and a trace of pain that shouldn't have appeared in her heart again. After the first acupuncture treatment on her, he was completely exhausted. And a single acupuncture may be relatively easy to recover from. But in the past few days, he had to give her acupuncture every day, and for each needle, he had to use his most extreme profound energy. His body was weak to begin with, so how could he possibly hold on to such continuous weakness? This would most likely cause permanent damage to his body.
“…You don’t need to risk your life so hard for me.” Xia Qingyue said with a complicated look in her eyes.
Xiao Che grinned and laughed: "No, you are qualified... because you are my... my wife who was married home by a famous matchmaker!"
Xia Qingyue: “…”
Xiao Che closed his eyes, slowly gathered his strength, and said in a very soft voice: "Although you married me only to repay my kindness and never regarded me as your husband. But I have no choice but to regard you as my wife. Unless I divorce you, otherwise, being good to your woman is also one of the most basic responsibilities and dignity of a man..."
After saying these words, Xiao Che felt a warm sensation in his chest... Oh my god! Even I was moved. I don't believe that you, a woman, don't feel anything at all!
After a while, he didn’t hear Xia Qingyue speak. He opened his eyes, took a few breaths, and said with a pitiful look: “Qingyue, my dear wife, I may not be able to walk now. Can you… help me over there?”
His eyes pointed to the corner...where he slept.
Xia Qingyue glanced at the blanket spread on the floor. The pain in her heart that shouldn’t have been there deepened a little. She shook her head and turned to the bed: “You sleep on the bed, I’ll sleep over there.”
Upon hearing this, Xiao Che immediately became anxious. He didn’t know where he got the strength from, but he reached out and grabbed Xia Qingyue’s arm at the fastest speed: “No! Absolutely not! Although you are better than me in every aspect... but I am a man and you are a woman! As a man, how can I sleep on the bed and let a woman sleep on the floor! If you sleep there, I would rather sleep in the yard!”
His voice was urgent, and it was filled with a kind of determination that could not be refuted. After he finished speaking, he struggled to get up and pretended to get out of bed.
A complicated expression suddenly emerged on Xia Qingyue's face. She bit her teeth slightly and finally made a decision after a brief struggle. She reached out and gently pushed Xiao Che's weak body inwards, then pulled over the bright red blanket and covered herself and Xiao Che at the same time.
“Don’t touch me.” Xia Qingyue lay down on the outside of the bed, with her back facing Xiao Che, so that he wouldn’t see her expression at that moment.
Xiao Che smiled silently. He quickly adjusted himself to a comfortable sleeping position and closed his eyes beautifully: "Don't worry. With your profound strength, I can't do anything to you even if I want to... Phew, sleeping on the same bed... Only then can we be considered husband and wife..."
Xia Qingyue: “…”
"I'm so tired... Qingyue, my dear wife, I'm going to sleep first... Well, tomorrow I'll ask my aunt to make me a bowl of snow ginseng and chicken soup to nourish me... Well..."
Xiao Che's voice became smaller and smaller, and when his voice completely fell, his breathing had become exceptionally steady... He had fallen asleep peacefully from excessive fatigue.
Xia Qingyue quietly turned around and looked at Xiao Che's face, her eyes trembling with an extremely complicated feeling...
Since she joined Frozen Cloud Palace, she has been determined to abstain from love and sex for the rest of her life. She never thought that one day she would sleep in the same bed with a man. She has always been convinced that she would never allow such a thing to happen. Before marrying Xiao Che, she would not even allow Xiao Che to touch her at all...
But now, she slept in the same bed with him, and she didn't feel too much unacceptable in her heart...
What's wrong with me? Is it because of the guilt I feel towards him?
Maybe...
She was thinking in a confused state, and before she knew it, she was also immersed in a dream. She didn't realize that she could fall asleep so quickly even though there was a man lying next to her, which meant that in her subconscious, she had almost no vigilance or rejection towards Xiao Che.
Xiao Che slept until noon before waking up. When he opened his eyes, Xia Qingyue was no longer beside him, and there was no trace of her in the room.
Although he had rested for a whole night, his body was still very sore. Xiao Che sat up, exhaled heavily, and said to himself: "If I continue like this, my body might collapse. I think I was a little too stubborn."
"However, this is the only way to get her to take the initiative to find those three things for me."
Xiao Che got out of bed, changed his clothes, and when he took off his coat, he held the pendant hanging around his neck and was stunned for a moment... On the first day of his rebirth, the overlapping memories made him have a huge doubt about this pendant. Because in his previous life in Cangyun Continent, he also had a pendant around his neck, and it was exactly the same as the one he was wearing now! The pendant seemed to be made of silver, and it could be opened from the middle to reveal two small, smooth mirrors, but that was all, there was nothing else special.
In Cangyun Continent, his master told him that he was wearing this pendant around his neck when he was picked up. And the one he is wearing now has also been worn since he can remember. His grandfather told him that this was obtained by his father Xiao Ying from nowhere and he has been wearing it since he was born, which is his father's legacy.
Two lives... the same pendant... what's going on?
After changing his clothes, Xiao Che's consciousness entered the Sky Poison Pearl. In the emerald green world, the red-haired girl still kept her original posture and floated there quietly, with no signs of waking up.
In the past two days, he asked his grandfather and Xia Qingyue indirectly whether there were people with red hair anywhere, but the answer he got was "never heard of it", which made Xiao Che more curious and confused about the identity of this girl. However, he did not tell anyone about the existence of this girl.
After changing into some light clothes and stretching his body, Xiao Che suddenly smelled an alluring aroma that made him salivate instantly. Following the smell, he saw the soup pot on the table, rushed over, opened the lid, and a stream of hot steam slowly rose with the tempting taste.
"Chicken soup with snow ginseng... Whew! My aunt is the best!" Xiao Che suddenly felt hungry and picked up his chopsticks to eat like crazy. When he had eaten half of it, the door was pushed open and Xiao Lingxi, who was dressed in light yellow, walked in. Seeing Xiao Che eating, she opened her lips and said, "Huh? Chicken soup? It smells so good! It seems to have the taste of snow ginseng. Xiao Che, who made the chicken soup for you? Humph, you didn't even tell me and ate it here by yourself!"
Xiao Lingxi's words made Xiao Che stunned: "Aunt, didn't you send this?"
“Of course not!” Xiao Lingxi said, her eyes suddenly becoming strange. “In this Xiao Clan, the only person who would make chicken soup for you, besides me, hmm… it seems that the only one who could possibly be your wife Qingyue! It seems that you have a very good relationship as husband and wife.”
There was a clear sour taste in Xiao Lingxi's words. Xiao Che put down his chopsticks and whispered, "How could she... possibly... make chicken soup for me..."
This is totally unscientific!
“Humph! I don’t care who made it for you. You like chicken soup anyway, so just drink it all… I’m here to tell you that the Xiao Sect’s people will be here this afternoon. The entire Xiao Clan is preparing now, so you must be careful then. Don’t offend anyone in the Xiao Sect by accident.” Xiao Lingxi said seriously.
"I get it. At worst, I'll just not go out. There's no chance they'll choose me anyway." Xiao Che responded indifferently.
“You can’t stay at home.” Xiao Lingxi waved her snow-white jade fingers at him and said sternly, “I heard from the Sect Master that the young master from the Xiao Sect wants to review all of our members… No one can be left out! When the time comes, you must not lose your manners.”
"You don't have to worry about that. My aunt knows that I have always been the most polite person." Xiao Che replied with a smile, then lowered his head and started eating frantically.
“Okay. I’ll go help dad first. If you have nothing to do after drinking the chicken soup, come over too.” Xiao Lingxi said, then left.
