Chapter 166 But I can’t control it, I miss you so much
A lantern lit the doorway, its dim light casting a shadow on the two of them, which overlapped and fell to the ground. Pei Xingju embraced her, unconsciously responding to her enthusiasm.
He had come all the way through the snow and wind just for her, and all the anxiety and hesitation along the way were comforted at this moment. Unexpectedly, as if it were God's will, on this winter night in a foreign land, he experienced the beauty of life.
In his arms was the person he missed deeply, and he couldn't help but hug her tighter, his hands caressing her shoulders lovingly.
"Zhuang Wan, I can't bear to leave you," he said.
"I can't bear to leave you either." Zhuang Wan's joy and enthusiasm grew stronger. With a long-suppressed impulse, she kissed the person in front of her wantonly.
She could clearly feel Pei Xingju's passion, his heavy breathing falling on her lips. His powerful heartbeat penetrated her body through her thick clothes, like a drum, like the power of spring springing from a withered branch, making her whole world bloom.
"I didn't expect you to come back," she kissed his lips over and over again, "I'm so happy."
She held his face in one hand, feeling the slight stubble on his chin and his neck, which was chilled by the wind and snow. As if wanting to give him all the warmth in her body, she squeezed into his arms and clung to his neck.
"I'm glad to see you back."
Thank you for coming back, otherwise, she might really live in regret. Otherwise, he would become her biggest regret.
Now, everything is complete and she is really happy.
Zhuang Wan couldn't contain her eagerness and took the initiative to put it into his mouth.
This action seemed to activate a mechanism within Pei Xingju. He suddenly became excited, his breath coming in an urgent and unbearable rush. Emotions surged, as if the person before him was the only one left between heaven and earth.
On a snowy night, the two of them hugged each other in front of the door in ecstasy.
After a while, Lixia and Guard Lü finally caught up on horseback, only to be met with this unexpected sight. Lixia's eyes widened, and she nearly fell off her horse. Guard Lü quickly tightened the reins and turned his horse around to avoid them.
The noise lasted only a moment, and when Zhuang Wan opened her eyes, only a series of horse hoof prints remained on the snow.
"Was there someone just now?" she asked.
"Um."
Pei Xingju's ears were red in the night. He had good hearing, so of course he heard it, and he was also aware that his subordinates had seen what had happened.
"Who is it? Guard Lu and the others?" Zhuang Wan was a little embarrassed. Her impulse cooled down and her cheeks became hot.
Pei Xingju felt her fingers were cold, and when he lowered his eyes, he saw that she was only wearing a pair of cloth shoes, with her white and tender ankles exposed to the air.
"Why aren't you wearing socks?"
"I was just soaking my feet when I heard someone knocking on the door and before I could react..."
Before she could finish, Pei Xingju picked her up horizontally. After entering the house, Pei Xingju placed her on the bed, looked around, and found a pair of clean socks on the embroidery stool, which must have been the ones she hadn't had time to wear.
He took it and squatted down.
Realizing his intention, Zhuang Wan quickly raised her foot and said, "No need, I can do it myself."
But Pei Xingju had already grabbed her ankle: "Don't move."
He placed her feet on his knees and gently helped her put on her socks.
The candlelight illuminated the side of his face, and Zhuang Wan noticed that his ears were particularly red compared to the rest of his face. She had been a little embarrassed, but strangely, she became calm.
After a while, Pei Xingju put socks on her, and when he looked up, he saw her smiling with the corners of her lips suppressed.
He fluttered his eyelashes in a calm manner: "What are you laughing at?"
"I'm happy." Zhuang Wan tilted her head and looked at him.
She looked like a female tyrant, which made Pei Xingju feel a little embarrassed.
But Pei Xingju was used to being calm and composed, and even in such an occasion, he remained calm. He walked to the side and sat down. "I'm very happy too. I originally thought..."
"You thought I wouldn't agree?"
"Um."
"But why did you come back?"
Zhuang Wan stared at Pei Xingju, who was helpless under her gaze and had no choice but to look at the string of colorful tassels hanging beside her bed curtains, and only dared to steal a glance at her occasionally.
"I've just explained the reason," he said.
Zhuang Wan teased him, "You said a lot of things just now. Which one was it?"
“…”
Pei Xingju felt a pang of frustration. He never liked being passive, and even in the court, he was used to taking the initiative. So he avoided the embarrassing topic and asked, "Why aren't you asleep yet?"
"If I fall asleep, you won't be able to see me, right?"
"..." After a moment of silence, Pei Xingju asked again, "Weren't you unwilling to return to the capital with me? Why did you change your mind?"
"When did I say I changed my mind?"
Pei Xingju paused, feeling inexplicably nervous: "But you just..."
"I didn't say yes. You came to my door so late at night." Zhuang Wan continued to tease him, "When I opened the door and saw such a handsome vixen, how could I resist?"
“…”
Seeing her being so naughty, Pei Xingju smiled helplessly.
"You haven't answered me yet," Zhuang Wan said, sitting at the head of the bed, her heart and eyes fixed on the man before her. The more she looked at him, the more handsome he seemed. She didn't want to let him go, so she pressed on, "Why did you come back? You've been gone all day, and you braved the snow to come back. Aren't you afraid of ending up empty-handed?"
Pei Xingju's gaze slowly shifted to her, and seeing the joy in her eyes, he felt a sweet feeling in his heart.
"I can't bear to leave you." He said, "The thought of being thousands of miles away from you makes me sad."
"But aren't you afraid?" What if it turns out to be a false alarm?
"I'm scared." He whispered, his throat moving, and then added: "But I can't control it. I miss you so much."
Zhuang Wan's heart suddenly ached, as if something warm surrounded her, making her whole body hot and her heart become extremely soft.
"Pei Xingju, come here." she shouted.
Pei Xingju was stunned for a moment, a look of helplessness on his face.
"Why are you so far away from me?" Zhuang Wan asked, "Aren't you reluctant to leave me? Come here."
Pei Xingju stood up and walked over. However, just as he sat down on the edge of the bed, he saw her rushing towards him, and he hurriedly caught her.
Zhuang Wan couldn't wait any longer. She hugged his neck, her eyes curved into crescents. "I'm really happy tonight. I have a boyfriend."
"What do you mean by boyfriend?"
"That's you," she rubbed his red ears and asked, "Do you still want to kiss me?"
Pei Xingju was taken aback by her blunt question.
"Don't you want to kiss me?"
"......think."
"I want to, too."
After saying that, Zhuang Wan pressed her red lips against his again.
