Kiss him?

Tao Ti looked at the delicate face in front of her, rubbed her eyes, and touched his forehead.

She tilted her head and thought for a while, then asked in a low voice, "Your Highness, have you drunk too much?"

Pei Yan slowly opened his eyes, his black eyes seemed to be filled with thousands of stars, and he coaxed her gently, "Ati, don't you want to kiss me?"

Tao Ti's gaze fell on his extremely beautiful lips and she swallowed helplessly.

Think about it, who doesn’t want to?

But isn't this a bad idea? It's like taking advantage of someone...

She tried her best to restrain herself, but the man's sweet voice, as cold as gold and jade, sounded above her head again, tempting her, "You can kiss me any way you want."

When Tao Ti heard this, she didn't know whether it was because of the cups of realgar wine that made her drunk, or because her emotions had reached a critical point and continued to be vented, she suddenly threw herself into his arms and burst into tears.

Pei Yan was stunned for a moment.

He lowered his eyes, his hands frozen in mid-air, and he was a little at a loss for a moment.

The little head was buried deep in his arms, crying in a muffled voice, "Don't tease me anymore, I'm afraid I really can't control myself. You know how beautiful you are, really, this won't work..."

Pei Yan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She couldn't control herself? Shouldn't he be the one who couldn't control himself?

He put his hand down and patted her back gently to comfort her.

When the person in his arms calmed down, Pei Yan took her out of his arms, held her chin with his bony hands, and asked in a low voice, "Don't you think Ah Ti likes me?"

Tao Ti blinked her sparkling eyes, with a drop of crystal tears hanging on her long eyelashes. She sniffed and said, "I like you. I like you so much."

Pei Yan's heart moved.

But before he could respond, Tao Ti sobbed, "But what's the point of just liking you? We can't be together forever. The more I like you now, the sadder I will be when you leave. Rather than being extremely sad, I might as well stop liking you now while it's still within my control."

She raised the back of her hand to wipe her tears, then lowered her eyes and said, "I know it's selfish for me to say this, but this is the first time in my life that I like someone, and I don't want to be so sad! I just want to have a sweet love and stay with the person I like for a long time. Why do so many stories have happy endings? Why does it have to be like this when it's my turn, huh..."

She can't stand this grievance!

She said so much, feeling uncomfortable and ashamed, and she wanted to bury her little head into the ground.

Pei Yan paused for a moment. It turned out that she didn't dislike him, but because of his physical condition——

Yes, which woman doesn't want to be with the one she loves forever?

It takes a lot of courage to give your heart to a dying person.

Pei Yan's fingers slowly tightened, his jawline tensed, his Adam's apple moved up and down, the truth was right at his lips, but...

He closed his eyes heavily. Now was not the right time. For the sake of the overall situation, he could not tell her now.

Pei suppressed his bitterness, stretched out his hand and held Tao Ti in his arms.

Feeling the stiffness in her back, he rested his chin on her hair and whispered, "Ati, I will try my best to find a miracle doctor, take good care of my body, and strive to live, okay?"

In front of her, he no longer called himself "Gu" but "I".

This gentle and pleasant request was like a warm breeze blowing gently past Taoti's ears, and her heart suddenly softened.

After a moment of silence, she left his arms, hiccuping, tears streaming down her face, staring at him with her misty eyes, "Your Highness, you haven't told me whether you like me or not?"

Pei Yan said without hesitation, "I like it."

This extremely firm tone left Tao Ti stunned.

He said he liked her.

She felt it was a little unreal, like she was dreaming and floating on the clouds.

When she came to her senses, her eyes were blank. "So you really like me? I thought it was my illusion before, I thought I was being sentimental... But why do you like me? You are so beautiful and have such a good personality, but I can't compose poetry, invent, or scheme... I can't do anything except cooking and eating."

The more she spoke, the more guilty she felt. If it were in modern times, she would at least still have her divine powers.

But she felt so powerless to be born as a mortal.

"Arti, there is no one who is omnipotent in this world. You are very good, but you just haven't discovered your shining point."

Pei Yan frowned, and the faint smile on his lips made him look particularly gentle. He said, "In addition to your unrivaled cooking skills, more importantly, you are sincere to others and have a natural affinity."

Tao Ti's eyes widened as she waited for him to continue.

"Look, when you first entered the Eastern Palace, how did the people there treat you? When you left the palace half a month ago, how did they treat you? Aside from the people in the Eastern Palace, Xiaowu, Xiaoliu, and Concubine Xu all like you. Fourth Uncle, who only met you once, also praised you highly. Linglong, Zhanping, the imperial guards and officials of the Eastern Palace who accompanied you this time also praised you for being kind to others. In Taoyuan Village, Mr. Xu's grandparents, the aunt next door, and the wife of the governor today, you can ask them if they like you?"

After hearing Pei Yan's words, Tao Ti's fair face turned slightly red, and she lowered her eyes and smiled, "So I'm so good."

Pei Yan raised his hand and touched her little head, "Yes."

Now, Tao Ti felt even more embarrassed. She plucked the hem of her clothes with her white and tender fingers, laughing secretly.

Pei Yan saw that she was happy again so quickly, and his tone became cheerful, "Besides, I like you only because you are you, not because of your additional conditions. For example, if I were not the prince, would you still like me?"

Taoti nodded, "Yes."

Pei Yan was satisfied and asked, "What if I change my appearance?"

Tao Ti stared blankly at his handsome face, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Do you want to hear the truth?"

Pei Yan, "..."

Suddenly have a bad feeling?

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Tao Ti just took it as his consent.

She lowered her eyes guiltily and muttered softly, "If you didn't look like this, I'm not sure if I would like you... Well, love at first sight is all about appearance, right..."

After saying this, she immediately fell into deep self-blame.

A little devil holding a trident cursed to her right: Ah, Taoti, do you like him? You just want his body! You are a scumbag!

Another little angel with a halo jumped out and retorted: No, you are not completely devoted to him, you care about him, you are concerned about him, you even protected him at all costs when he was in danger, you really like him!

Tao Ti was struggling with this, while Pei Yan felt a little regretful that he shouldn't have asked that question.

The young princess's honesty is precious, but being too honest is not necessarily a good thing.

An evening breeze blew gently, sobering the two people up from their slight drunkenness.

Pei Yan suddenly pointed at the red string on his wrist and said, "Ati, this is not for peace, but for marriage."

Tao Ti looked at him in surprise.

Pei Yan said seriously, "The nun from Baiyun Temple said that it has been blessed and is very effective."

Tao Ti suddenly thought of the big tree with lush branches and leaves in front of the Baiyun Temple.

With those red strings tied to it, is that what it is?

She subconsciously touched the red rope on her wrist and felt her heart burning.

Pei Yan said, "Ati, give it a try."

Tao Ti raised her eyes in surprise, "Hmm?"

Pei Yan gazed at her deeply, gently and seriously, "I will try to live longer, and you will try to like me more."

Taoti, "..."

This sounds like there is nothing wrong with it, but if you think about it carefully, it is completely contrary to my previous thoughts!

However, when she saw his beautiful eyes, the deer in her heart went crazy and beat wildly, and she couldn't stop it!

Tao Ti then realized that love is a very irrational and illogical thing.

Taking a deep breath, she clenched her fingers.

Whether it was due to alcohol or lust, she accepted it all!

Mustering up her courage, Tao Ti raised her little face and said in a soft and gentle voice, "Can I kiss you then?"

Pei Yanqing's face was filled with a smile, "Of course you can."

Tao Ti's eyes lit up, but when she really went over, she was still extremely nervous and her shoulders were shaking.

She thought: This is my own husband, a husband who is compatible with me! What's wrong with a kiss?

Thinking of this, she felt a little more confident.

But she was still too embarrassed to open her eyes, and the moment she moved past, she subconsciously closed her eyes and just pecked him quickly.

Soft, tender, cool...

Is this what kissing feels like? It’s similar to the feeling I had in my previous erotic dream.

As she was thinking this, she was about to sit up straight, but someone seemed to have noticed her action long ago, and pressed the back of her head with a large palm, and pressed his cool thin lips against hers again.

Taoti, “Ugh…!”

I didn't expect that Pei Yan, who usually looks gentle, would be so proactive.

And his kissing skills seem... quite good? Did he practice before? Who did he practice with...

Just as she was lost in thought, Pei Yan gently bit the corner of her mouth, pinched her soft earlobe with his fingers, and said hoarsely, "Focus."

Tao Ti blushed and uttered an "hmm".

Afterwards, his kisses, sometimes light and sometimes heavy, made my head feel dizzy and my whole body felt like it was soaked in honey water, so sweet that it made me go limp.

The kiss lasted for a long time, so long that Tao Ti felt she was about to suffocate, and Pei Yan let her go.

She leaned softly in his arms, her face flushed and she was breathing lightly.

My ear was right on his chest, and I could hear his heartbeat very clearly.

Boom boom boom, boom boom boom.

Strong and powerful, and jumping very fast.

Tao Ti pursed her lips and smiled, his heart was beating very fast.

She couldn't help but reach out to touch him. At first, she really just wanted to touch his chest and feel his heartbeat. But after touching his strong and firm chest, her little hand unconsciously touched his abdominal muscles...

Touch, pinch, and poke.

Just when she was having fun, Pei Yan grabbed her restless little hand.

Tao Ti felt a little lacking in confidence. She raised her clear and innocent eyes and looked at him timidly.

Pei Yan's cold white skin was slightly red, but his expression was serious, like a patriarch, "Don't touch me anymore."

Tao Ti pursed her lips which were slightly swollen from being kissed, with a little disappointment in her eyes, but she still responded obediently, "Oh."

Seeing that the little girl was in a good mood, Pei Yan smiled helplessly and dotingly.

He reached out and touched the tip of her nose, his eyes were as deep as a bottomless pool of water, and his voice was a little hoarse with emotion, "Be good, I'll let you touch me as you like after a while."
