It would have been better if she hadn't asked, because once she did, Shen Jiao couldn't help but pout and feel like crying.
She wasn't a crybaby, but for some reason, whenever Ji Yan, that tyrant, showed her even the slightest concern, her eyes would well up with tears.
Suddenly I understand why kids only cry when an adult is present after they fall flat on their face.
Ji Yan pulled the person into her arms. The hamster that used to be so fluffy and soft to hold now felt almost too light.
He imitated how Shen Jiao used to blow on his palms, gently blowing on her wound.
Ji Yan's voice was gentle, with a somewhat clumsy attempt at soothing: "Don't feel wronged anymore, just breathe it out and it won't hurt anymore."
The wind made Shen Jiao restless, and, taking advantage of the situation, she pitifully pointed to the corner of her mouth.
"It hurts here too, blow on it here again."
She made it clear from the start that this wasn't an attempt to trick someone into giving her a kiss.
She really is like that; probably, maybe, most likely, she has a cut on her lip.
Ji Yan didn't understand what the frizzy hamster meant. Instead, she seriously and meticulously narrowed her wise eyes, carefully scanning the corner of her mouth to see if there was any wound.
Believe it or not, thanks to his persistent efforts, he actually discovered a wound that wouldn't heal on its own without prompt treatment.
That was close! Ji Yan quickly took a nap.
Shen Jiao: "..."
Goodnight, I'm truly exhausted. Sleep now. Farewell, see you again in rebirth. My soul is about to embark on a long journey tonight.
Ji Yan watched as the hamster with its fur standing on end pretended to be asleep with its eyes closed. He was used to pinching its face, but when he saw the marks, he stopped and gently rubbed his nose against Shen Jiao's face.
After thinking for a moment, he asked, "Do you want to..."
“Yes, that’s exactly what I want!” Shen Jiao interrupted, giving the innocent young man a very affirmative answer.
In TV dramas, it's common to see couples kissing and hugging after a long time apart, but there's no need for that. After jumping off the cliff, she now has some lingering fear of heights.
Ji Yan put her down: "Okay, then wait for me for a while."
Having said that, he turned and walked out of the cave.
Shen Jiao: "???"
No, brother, is it some kind of custom here that we have to go for a walk and ask the heavens for permission before we can even kiss?
When Ji Yan returned, he filled a large leaf with water and handed it to Shen Jiao, saying, "Drink this."
To be honest, it's a bit pitiful that such a powerful tyrant has fallen to this state, but his innate aura makes one feel that this leaf is worth a fortune.
Even this moss-covered, dilapidated cave seems to have a bit more class than the other caves.
It would be unreasonable not to drink water personally found by the king of a country; no one else would receive such treatment.
Shen Jiao felt honored and accepted the gift with both hands as if she were being comforted by a national leader. After a moment of silence, she returned it to the tyrant.
Ji Yan asked curiously, "Why aren't you drinking?"
Shen Jiao forced a stiff smile: "How am I supposed to drink this if there's a fish in it?"
Ji Yan didn't see anything wrong with it at all. He said in a serious tone, "If even fish can drink it, then there's nothing wrong with the water. Drink it quickly."
That being said, Shen Jiao really couldn't bring herself to compete with a lively, jumping shrimp for water; it always felt like drinking its mouthwash or bathwater.
Ji Yan noticed Shen Jiao's disdain, which only made him more disgusted. He threw the leaves and fish outside together.
"If you don't want to drink water, then what do you want to do?"
The ripples in Shen Jiao's heart had been soothed by the fish, even frozen over. "I want to sleep."
Ji Yan continued to hold her, "Lying."
"Then I miss you." Shen Jiao looked up at the tyrant.
Whether it was because she had completely adapted to the darkness, or because the moonlight had finally reached the cave, she was able to see Ji Yan's face clearly.
He didn't look well; he looked listless, probably because he hadn't rested well, and there was a hint of irritability in the corners of his eyes.
Ji Yan said again, "Lying."
Shen Jiao started to feign indifference, deciding to throw the problem out there and rationally divert her anxiety, "Then what about His Majesty? What does he want to do?"
Ji Yan did not answer immediately. He lowered his eyes, his long eyelashes casting shadows of varying depths beneath them.
Their eyes met, and their feelings for each other deepened.
Shen Jiao blushed and obediently closed her eyes. At this moment, the timing, location, and people were a perfect match.
Then Ji Yan said, "I want to kill someone."
That's a tyrannical answer.
Shen Jiao, forced to open her eyes: "..."
I mustered all my adult composure and was prepared at all times, and this is what you tell me?
The answer was etched into his very being; what was she really hoping for?
Shen Jiao was completely exhausted from the torment; she didn't want to play any more pointless bickering games with the tyrannical dog.
She felt terrible; after suffering so much, she was not only heartbroken but also mentally exhausted.
Out of sight, out of mind; out of hearing, out of mind. Shen Jiao decided to close her eyes and rest, but as soon as she closed her eyes, Ji Yan started nagging, "Alright, alright, your little mouth is all pouting. Come on, I'll satisfy you."
Shen Jiao was a little confused: "What?"
Ji Yan was not happy: "Didn't you want to kiss me?"
Shen Jiao chuckled. "So you knew? Then what were you pretending for just now? You hypocritical bastard."
"That was just now, I don't want to think about it now."
These days, everyone has a temper.
"But I think..."
The tyrant grabbed the hamster's head and pressed his cool lips against it.
...
"Your chin isn't round anymore."
"Her wrists have become thinner too."
"There's no meat left on your lips, what are you going to do with your relatives?"
Shen Jiao: "..."
A typical tyrant kisses for three seconds, then grumbles for half an hour.
While others transform into domineering wolfhounds or powerful CEOs the moment they kiss, he, with his devilishly handsome appearance, is forced to reveal his doting grandma nature through a kiss.
