Chapter 93 You can live in Liuyunxuan these days!
The night clock sounds and the candlelight flickers.
Xiao Nanyan took off Xiyan's underwear, leaving only a pastel-colored bellyband. On the large area of snow-white skin on her back, there was a blood-red slap mark, and the surrounding area was red and swollen.
The evening primrose that he had tattooed with his own hands now looked wilted.
Xiao Nanyue frowned slightly, took out the ice jade cream left by Fu Yunqing when he left, and applied it to her carefully.
Then he turned her body over, made her lie on her side on the couch, and covered her with a quilt.
Xiyan was half asleep and half awake, and she only felt the cold touch mixed with pain on the injured part of her back, which made her whimper from time to time in her sleep.
Xiao Nanyan put down the celadon medicine bowl and looked at the woman's curled up body, his brows forming a thin line under the candlelight.
"Turn over if it hurts."
He spoke in a low voice, and seeing Xiyan shaking her head unconsciously, he got on the bed with his clothes on and lay beside her. He stretched out his long arms, and with a little force, Xiyan's entire upper body floated lightly in his arms.
Her hot forehead rested against his chest, and the fragrance of her hair entwined with the cool plum scent of his body, like a ball of spring mist melting snow.
Xiao Nanyue's palm was pressed against the skin on her waist, which felt as delicate as warm jade. His fingertips rubbed it unconsciously twice. Suddenly, he felt his throat tighten. He immediately turned his face away and looked at the swaying shadows of the trees outside the window.
The night was long and the dew was heavy. He finally couldn't resist the tiredness. He rested his chin on Xiyan's head and slowly closed his eyes.
The soreness from two sleepless nights surged up from every limb, but when I touched the soft warmth of the body in my arms, my body completely relaxed.
Have a good night's sleep.
Xiyan woke up in the morning light and felt that the pain in her back had eased a little.
She raised her eyes slightly, her eyelashes still wet like night dew, and saw Xiao Nanyue's face so close to her.
At this moment, he had shed the coldness of the day, his brows were stretched out like distant mountains, his eyelashes cast butterfly-like shadows under his eyes, the corners of his lips were slightly pursed, and he was sleeping soundly, with a bit of youthful tranquility.
She held her breath, and suddenly remembered the handsome young man riding a red horse with his clothes billowing on the streets of Nanzhao eight years ago...
Her waist suddenly tightened, Xiao Nanyan's knuckles dug into her skin, his hoarse voice lazily carrying the morning air:
"woke up?"
Xiyan's whole body froze, and she suddenly realized that she was lying on top of him. She wanted to push him away, but he hugged her even tighter.
His thumb rubbed her waist, but his eyes were fixed on her:
"You slept soundly this night. I was almost suffocated by you!"
Xiyan's face suddenly flushed, and she realized that she was only wearing a thin bellyband, with a large area of skin exposed. No wonder his eyes were so blurred.
"I'm sorry for being rude..."
She endured the pain and buried herself in the quilt.
"The matter of Fanyin Temple..."
Xiao Nanyan suddenly let go of his hand, sat up straight, and his tone returned to its cold and serious tone:
"Did you recognize the man the concubine had a secret meeting with?"
Xiyan shook her head: "I haven't seen his true appearance, but his back and voice seem familiar. I will definitely recognize him next time I see him."
"What did they say?"
Xiyan recalled carefully and told Xiao Nanyan the series of events that happened in Fanyin Temple.
Xiao Nanyan frowned and remained silent for a long while.
Suddenly, his eyes darkened and he reached out to pinch her chin:
"Why didn't you hide when Chu Jin attacked you?"
Xiyan was pinched by him until it hurt, her fingertips twisted the brocade tightly, but she looked at the dark tide surging in his eyes stubbornly:
"I'm worried that if I reveal my martial arts skills, they'll definitely guess I'm Xuesha. They've been enemies with me several times before, even assassinating the crown prince at Xishanao, stealing the Dongzhu, and killing the Nanzhao envoy. They'll all think it was your orders. So..."
"So you dare to gamble your life? Do you think Chu Jin's palm strike was a joke? If it really shattered my heart meridian..."
His fingertips suddenly tightened:
"Remember, your life belongs to me! From now on, don't be so self-righteous!"
Xiyan was stunned for a moment: What he meant was, if there is a next time, can I fight back?
Doesn't he care about her revealing her identity? Or is he afraid of her death?
Xiao Nanyan suddenly stopped and let go of his hand:
"You can stay at Liuyunxuan for the next few days!"
