Seeing the girl's expectant face, the smile in Xiao Lanchuan's eyes gradually froze.
What is forever?
In his previous life, he only lived to the age of twenty-four before passing away with resentment.
Now, only three years remain. Although she is useful to him, who can be certain...?
"What if I die before you?"
The girl looked at her and said each word with deep affection: "Then Zhizhi will stay with Your Majesty and won't let Your Majesty be lonely."
These were the most beautiful words of love Xiao Lanchuan had ever heard.
Whether it's true or not, it's enough to make one's heart flutter.
His long, slender fingers brushed through her hair, and in the bright moonlight, he leaned down and kissed her.
He was eager to know why she had kissed him last night and then let him go.
Now that he has finally kissed her, he understands that her softness and sweetness can truly drown a person.
It gradually makes people lose their minds, making them eager to devour her.
He only regained some of his senses after the girl exclaimed in surprise.
He looked at the girl's bleeding lips, his eyes darkening slightly: "Does it hurt?"
One word, it seems, indicates more than just concern for her lips.
Nanzhi blushed, glanced at her cool body, and nodded shyly.
The man's warm hand caressed her face, admiring her furrowed brows. He said, "You're so fragile. What will you do if I do something else?"
He released her lips, but didn't let her go. He leaned down and moved closer to her collarbone, ravaging it little by little.
The atmosphere suddenly changed.
Nanzhi closed her eyes somewhat awkwardly, trying her best to relax her body.
Seeing her like this, Xiao Lanchuan smiled and slid his fingertips down her face to help her relax.
Nanzhi thought that the two would naturally become a couple.
But in the end, he pulled her clothes close and covered her fair skin, which had a faint pink tinge, with the blanket.
He embraced her, his hot breath lingering in her ear.
He said, "Don't move, I'm going to sleep."
He hadn't had a good night's sleep in a very, very long time.
If he hadn't been holding her, he would have been so agitated that he wanted to kill someone.
Nanzhi nestled obediently in his arms, listening to his pounding heart slowly calm down.
If it weren't for the fact that her points had increased by another 50 and her favorability rating hadn't reached 35%, she would have thought he wasn't interested in her anymore.
Nanzhi saw that his breathing gradually became steady and thought he had fallen asleep. She was about to move when she unexpectedly saw him open his eyes.
She subconsciously looked into his eyes, which were normal brownish-red with faint red streaks in the whites, not the terrifying scarlet from last night. She quickly closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep.
Xiao Lanchuan placed her aside, got up, and took something out of a hidden compartment on the side of the bed.
Nan Zhi quietly opened her eyes a crack and saw that Xiao Lan Chuan was holding a chain in his hand.
She was surprised for a moment, and when she saw Xiao Lanchuan turn around, she quickly closed her eyes and relaxed her breathing.
Xiao Lanchuan gave her a quiet, thoughtful look.
His rough fingertips traced the wound on the corner of her lips.
Her taste was truly wonderful.
If he hadn't been thinking about the scars on her neck, he almost wouldn't have been able to hold back.
"Since you're quite delicious, I don't want to lose my temper and hurt you tonight."
The next moment, he chained himself to the bedpost.
He could have had a better way to avoid hurting her, but he didn't seem willing to let her leave.
Only he knew the key to the chains; after the nightmare, he seemed to be immersed in another world, never connected to him.
Having been given a second chance at life, he was unwilling to trust anyone easily.
No matter how many beautiful sweet words she says, he can't easily believe them.
This was his last attempt to test her.
So, Nam Zhi, everything you say to me had better be true. If I find any falsehoods, I won't let you off so easily.
Nan Zhi opened her eyes and saw that Xiao Lan Chuan had already embraced her and closed his eyes.
He had a chain locked around his right wrist, which looked quite secure.
Since his rebirth, Xiao Lanchuan has been having nightmares about his past life, but he has never used chains to restrain himself.
After all, he was still afraid that if he locked himself up, he would be powerless to fight back if he were assassinated.
Now, he's had chains made; is he afraid of hurting her?
She's so cute.
However, Xiao Lanchuan soon stopped being cute.
When he opened his eyes again, the previous gentleness was gone; the scarlet in his eyes was mixed with murderous intent, sweeping over Nanzhi.
He sneered, "You still dare to show your face?"
Nan Zhi watched as he turned 90% of his dark side, blinked, and smiled innocently: "I wanted to ask you the same thing, how dare you show up again?"
He couldn't beat her even with his bare hands, let alone when she was chained.
Xiao Lanchuan raised his hand, intending to flip this eyesore of a woman over.
Before he could make a move, Nanzhi nimbly climbed onto him.
Nan Zhi's slender, fair fingertips gently hooked the chain on his right wrist, and she smiled with a hint of regret, "What to do? It seems you can't escape my grasp tonight."
Xiao Lanchuan then noticed the chains on his wrists and struggled to break free.
The chains were made of black iron, and no matter how hard he tried, they wouldn't budge.
Nanzhi grasped his left hand and touched the corner of her lips. "See? This is what you left before you fell asleep."
Xiao Lanchuan looked at the unsightly wound on her lip, his eyes filled with rage.
That idiot, how could he kiss that ugly woman?
Wait, she doesn't seem ugly anymore?
But that's no reason for him to kiss her!
He tried to strangle Nanzhi, but Nanzhi only used a little force to dislocate his movable left hand.
