Chapter 292 You Are Never a Substitute
There was a slight sound of footsteps. Ethan turned his head to look at Jiang Wangyue who was walking towards him, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
"The female protagonist?"
Jiang Wangyue paused as he touched the pair of snow-white wings.
Although she had officially entered into a matching relationship with Ethan, this was the first time she heard Ethan call her the female master.
A bit weird.
It sounds pretty good.
Seeing Jiang Wangyue's hand stop, Ethan hesitated slightly, then tentatively stretched out his wings forward.
The softest feather at the end of the wing gently brushed against Jiang Wangyue's fingertips, bringing her back to her senses.
"Why are even the feathers wet?"
The tips of Ethan's ears turned red, and he whispered, "I want to clean my feathers."
Jiang Wangyue closed the door with his backhand, and his somewhat cold fingertips slowly slid upwards along the wings.
"Well, let me help you."
Ethan replied with a trembling voice.
The warm hot spring water was gently poured on the soft feathers, and then gently caressed by a pair of hands.
When his fingertips seemed to accidentally pass over the base of the wing, Ethan's hand pressing on the stone suddenly tightened in vain, and then a suppressed gasp escaped from his lips.
With Ji Li’s experience before, Jiang Wangyue knew clearly where the weakness of their wings lay.
At first, Ethan tried to tell himself that it was just an accident, but when Jiang Wangyue's fingertips, which were originally cold and then gradually became hot, deliberately brushed across the base of the wings again and again, he was finally sure - she did it on purpose.
"The female master..."
"Huh? What's wrong?" Ethan bit his lower lip, and the shameful words rolled around in his mouth for a few times but he couldn't say them out.
He shook his head slowly to show that he was fine.
A hint of cunning flashed across Jiang Wangyue's eyes, and the strength with which he rubbed the feathers in his hands suddenly increased.
Ethan was caught off guard, his wings trembled violently, and ripples suddenly appeared in the hot spring.
"Could you...be a little gentler?"
Jiang Wangyue approached with an innocent look on her face, "I wasn't using much force. It's obviously you, my little bird... who's too sensitive?"
As she spoke, her fingertips pressed again on the more sensitive base of the wings.
Noticing how skillful her movements were, Ethan couldn't help but feel a hint of bitterness flash across his lowered eyes.
As expected.
He is the stand-in.
Before Ethan could continue to daydream, the familiar mental power easily penetrated into his sea of consciousness.
Jiang Wang patted Ethan on the back and motioned him to turn around.
Ethan quickly hid the emotions in his eyes and turned around obediently.
He lowered his head slightly, afraid that she would see the shameful moisture and surging bitterness in his eyes.
"What are you thinking about?"
Jiang Wangyue asked softly, but her warm palms were still on the base of Ethan's wings and back, stroking them from time to time.
Ethan hesitated for a moment, then shook his head.
"Bow your head."
He lowered his head obediently, and the next moment, a gentle kiss with a tenderness that he had never dared to imagine before landed lightly on the corner of his eye.
"Tell me, what are you thinking about?"
Jiang Wangyue's voice was obviously lighter than the steam rising from the hot spring, but it carried an irresistible meaning.
Ethan was silent for a while, and just when Jiang Wangyue was about to give up and stop asking questions, he grabbed the corner of her clothes with slightly trembling fingers, as if he had grabbed the last straw.
"You mean... am I his replacement?"
Jiang Wangyue was stunned. What replacement...
The moment he reacted, Jiang Wangyue was overwhelmed by heartache.
"no."
The denial that came out almost without her knowledge made Ethan look at her in surprise.
Jiang Wangyue pinched Ethan's jaw, looked at him seriously, and said word by word: "Listen to me, Ethan, you have never been anyone's substitute. You are just yourself, the little bird I love, the bird that will strive to fly out even in the dirtiest quagmire."
Jiang Wangyue pulled Ethan closer and kissed away the moisture from the corners of his eyes bit by bit, demonstrating the truthfulness of her words with practical actions.
You are never a substitute for anyone.
You are the little bird that I love.
Ethan's eyes suddenly turned red, and he hugged her tightly so that she could clearly feel his heart beating violently for her.
"I love you too..."
It was not known which sentence unlocked the shackles on Ethan. Before Jiang Wangyue could react, he had already lowered his head and gently nibbled on her collarbone.
Jiang Wangyue instinctively grabbed Ethan's long hair on the back of his head and took a breath.
"You...be gentle..."
The thin pajamas became the most troublesome thing at this moment. Ethan raised his head, his golden eyes full of grievance and desire.
Jiang Wangyue couldn't help laughing, but exclaimed in the next second.
"Ethan!"
She reflexively reached out and pressed her hand on the stone beside the hot spring pool. Before her body could feel the coolness, Ethan came close again.
The large hand that was causing trouble on his waist and abdomen made Jiang Wangyue raise his head slightly, his voice trembling a little: "If you... can't do it, let me do it myself..."
Ethan, who had been on the verge of losing his mind because of Jiang Wangyue's words of love, was now completely ignited by her trembling words of concession.
Instead of letting go, he hugged her deeper into his arms, their hot bodies fitting tightly together without a single gap.
The mist of hot steam rose up, blurring all sounds, leaving only the affectionate surge of water, which repeatedly flowed over the edge of the pool and then quietly slid down, as if tireless.
Jiang Wangyue had long forgotten her original intention of coming out. It was not until she woke up from her sleep that she realized her throat was so dry that it was almost smoking.
Fortunately, there was a cup of warm water on the low table beside the bed, which relieved her urgent need.
etc!
She wasn't in the hot spring with Ethan...
Why are you back again?
Was that a dream?
Before Jiang Wangyue's thoughts could continue to drift into the universe, a very light sound of footsteps was heard.
The door slowly slid open, revealing Ethan's figure behind it.
Seeing Jiang Wangyue wake up, he couldn't help but pursed his lips, walked forward and knelt silently beside the bed.
"Are you... still feeling uncomfortable?"
Hearing the uneasiness in his tone, Jiang Wangyue, who had originally felt no discomfort, immediately covered her abdomen as if in pain and frowned slightly.
"You're still asking me? Don't you know what you've done?"
Ethan's heart tightened, and he didn't care about being embarrassed. He reached out and hugged Jiang Wangyue.
"I, I'll take you to see a doctor..."
Jiang Wangyue was startled and said repeatedly, "That's not necessary!"
Ethan looked down at her in confusion, but she pulled him by the collar and kissed him.
"I lied to you."
Before Ethan could breathe out the breath hanging in his heart, he heard Jiang Wangyue continue slowly: "But you did use too much force at that time, bad bird."
Xiaoniao had never expected Jiang Wangyue to say it so directly, and her face immediately turned red.
"I...next time..."
"Next time what?"
