Chapter 41 "The little rabbit is so good".
The scorching breath brushed against her ear, and Yan Jiarou felt that spot on her skin burning intensely.
She stammered, "Wh...what?"
"What did you say?" Xiao Che chuckled softly, his tone extremely ambiguous: "Naturally, something that will make you happy..."
Yan Jiarou swallowed hard, her jade-like earlobes gradually turning a rosy hue.
These suggestive words easily reminded her of a rumor about the people of Lanling.
It is said that all members of the Lanling tribe, regardless of gender, possess the ability to create intoxicating and addictive allure.
This skill specifically refers to sexual intercourse.
Therefore, after the country was destroyed, the people of Lanling became a rare commodity and were sold off. The women were made into concubines and the men into male lovers, and they all captivated their masters.
They seem to have an extraordinary talent for this.
With a face that could captivate all, he became even more invincible.
However, it is now very difficult to see the Lanling people within the territory of Wei.
Most of them have been slaughtered.
Apart from Xiao Che in front of him.
However, he was different. He had half the blood of the Wei royal family. Although the bloodline of the other half was in doubt, on the surface, he was the Third Prince of the Great Wei, a man of noble status.
No noblewoman could regard him as a plaything.
Even if she coveted him, she would never have the guts.
Unless, of course, it is his own choice.
Did he mean... that he was willing when he just said that?
Yan Jiarou stared blankly at him, then suddenly snapped back to reality. Good heavens, what was she thinking?
He's willing, but she's not!
What is all this nonsense?!
Besides, Xiao Che is full of bad intentions, and who knows what kind of mischief he's up to to bully her again? This is most likely just one of his ways of bullying her, and she's not that stupid: "You... what nonsense are you talking about? I don't want to! Go away!"
Xiao Che was not annoyed by this, and with a slight smile on his lips, he simply said, "Then tell me when you want it."
He cupped her face in one hand and kissed her forehead: "Let's go, little bunny."
After saying that, he turned and left, leaving Yan Jiarou sitting alone on the couch with a blush on her face.
She touched her cheek and found it was even hotter than before.
"Ugh, so annoying!" She covered her face with the blanket and rolled around on the bed. It took a long time for the temperature on her face to come down.
Exhausted, she lay on the bed, staring blankly at Cheng Chen above her head.
Why did Xiao Che have to bully her in this way...? It's not as good as before!
He treated her that way, said those things to her, which caused her unnecessary distress.
As expected, Xiao Wenqi is the most annoying person no matter what!
——
Inside the study, Yan Xiao's sudden exclamation startled the birds perched under the window, causing them to fly away.
"What?!" Yan Xiao stared at Xiao Che in front of him, almost wondering if he had misheard. He said incredulously, "A golden opportunity from heaven, and you not only fail to seize it, but you actually want to ruin it with your own hands? Is this what you call important? Xiao Wenqi, are you crazy?"
He grew angrier and angrier as he spoke, and couldn't help but turn his head and exhale deeply.
No wonder he was so angry. He had seen it all: Xiao Che had liked that silly girl for so many years.
Originally, it was thought that Xiao Che was destined to fail, but unexpectedly, a golden opportunity came, forcing Yan Jiarou to become entangled with him. However, he was not stubborn and insisted on severing the bond between the two of them. How could this not make people angry?
Just a stick of incense had burned before Xiao Che told him that the rumors about the white fox of Lishan might actually be true.
Since being bitten last time, Yan Jiarou's body has indeed shown some abnormalities, but her symptoms are somewhat different from the rumors - she seems to be extremely interested in his blood, and even has a faint tendency to become addicted. If she does not taste his blood in time, she will be restless and her body will feel like it is being gnawed by insects, which is extremely uncomfortable.
When Yan Xiao heard this, he felt that it was a golden opportunity—Yan Jiarou couldn't live without his blood, which meant she couldn't live without him.
Since they need to feed each other blood frequently, they will inevitably meet often, so it's only natural that feelings will develop over time.
Not to mention the "gratitude for feeding her blood," it would be most suitable to repay that debt with one's body.
If she can become addicted to his blood today, then she will surely become addicted to him as a person in the future.
With his long-cherished wish about to be fulfilled, he thought Xiao Che would definitely seize the opportunity. However, the reason he was summoned here was simply to ask him to find a way to cure Yan Jiarou's strange illness.
"Yan Xiao, you've traveled extensively with your father since you were young, and you're very knowledgeable. Since you know the legends of the white fox, you must know how to break the curse. Do you have any way to help her cure this strange illness?"
Yan Xiao thought Xiao Che had gone mad: "No, I don't understand why you're helping her? Don't you want her to like you?"
Xiao Che gave him a deep look: "Of course I want to, but definitely not in this way. This strange disease, if it doesn't cause her to taste my blood in time, will make her wish she were dead. She has been pampered since childhood, how could she possibly endure such suffering?"
Even if she could bear it, I couldn't bear to.
"Besides, she has contracted such a strange and inhumane disease. It must be very difficult for her to keep this secret. She should be carefree, healthy, and at ease. I don't want her to bear any pressure."
"Although she wants my blood, I can give it to her anytime. After all, we are both in this palace, so getting blood is quite convenient."
"But there's always the possibility of something going wrong. What if I'm not by her side? What if... I die? How will she cope then?"
Yan Xiao: "..."
Yan Xiao couldn't help but roll his eyes, and finally had to compromise: "Alright, ancestor, please stop cursing yourself, okay? I'll help you, I'll help you, alright?"
He looked at him, sighed deeply, and said, "The Imperial Concubine once told me that with your temperament, you would definitely suffer a lot in the future because of the word 'love,' and I think she was absolutely right. I'm really afraid that you will fall into Xiao Jiarou's trap and lose half your life for her."
"Her?" Xiao Che smiled dismissively. "Others are one thing, but she's just a clueless little girl. What harm could she possibly do to me?"
Yan Xiao glanced at him, his Adam's apple bobbing: "That's not necessarily true."
But he didn't say anything more, only saying, "You said you wanted to help her get better, and I do have connections. I knew a mute doctor in the capital years ago. It is said that he once cured a woman bitten by a white fox and relieved her addiction to men. However, I have only heard about this, and I cannot guarantee whether it will work."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Che pondered for a moment and said, "If it can heal others, it can surely heal her as well. Let's give it a try first."
——
Yan Xiao might have a way to cure her strange illness, and after telling Yan Jiarou about this, she was extremely excited.
Overwhelmed with excitement, she even stood on tiptoe, wrapped her arms around his neck, and happily said, "Xiao Che, you're so good..."
Being young, she always wore her emotions on her sleeve and never tried to hide them.
Perhaps she got too excited, because she ended up hugging her former nemesis to celebrate.
Perhaps after that day, she subconsciously stopped maintaining the boundaries between men and women with him.
After all, we've already done the most intimate things, so what does it matter now?
By the time she realized something was wrong, it was too late.
The hand that tried to pull back was suddenly pressed down by him. Xiao Che raised an eyebrow, a half-smile on his face, and said, "Oh? What's so good about it?"
"This..." Xiao Che is not the same person he used to be; he's now her great benefactor. Naturally, she can't be as bad-tempered towards him as before. After a moment's thought, she said ingratiatingly, "Anything is fine with me!"
Xiao Che looked at her, curled his lips, and lightly flicked the tip of her nose with his finger: "Little rascal."
"Everything is good" is actually the most perfunctory, lazy, and thoughtless statement, because you can just say it in a general way without having to think about which specific aspect is good.
Yet it can make people overjoyed.
And ironically, he falls for that.
But as the saying goes, "the devil is always one step ahead," and Xiao Che naturally wouldn't let her off so easily: "Since I'm good in every way, shouldn't my royal sister show some appreciation?"
As he spoke, he turned his head, lightly tapping his cheek with his long, slender fingers, his expression casual and playful: "Hmm?"
This is clearly a request for a kiss.
Now that she needs his help, she naturally can't openly refuse him.
Otherwise, what if she angers him and he suddenly goes back on his word?
Moreover, she was genuinely grateful to him for helping her find a way to treat that strange illness.
As a younger sister, it's nothing to be grateful to your older brother and give him a kiss.
Yan Jiarou hesitated for a moment, but finally tiptoed and quickly planted a kiss on his face, like a dragonfly skimming the water.
Xiao Che's eyes darkened instantly.
Just as Yan Jiarou finished kissing him and was about to back away, a large hand forcefully grabbed her waist, pulling her towards him without any room for argument.
Xiao Che kissed her deeply.
It was that same kiss that wantonly stole her breath, almost suffocating her, leaving her dizzy and disoriented. If he hadn't supported her waist, she would have almost lost her balance.
Yan Jia gently pushed him away, but when she heard the noise outside the door, she seemed to snap out of her daze and began to push him away with more force, saying anxiously, "Ugh, Xiao Che, wait, someone's coming..."
Xiao Che was forced to stop, his brows furrowing slightly, a hint of displeasure at being interrupted in his expression: "Heh, coming at this time, you really know how to pick your timing."
After he finished speaking, he kissed the corner of her lips, lowered his head to touch her forehead, and breathed softly.
His eyes still held lingering desire as he looked at her, his voice low and husky: "Then you'll give it to me later..."
Yan Jiarou's beautiful eyes welled up with tears, her thick eyelashes trembled slightly, her chest heaved, and her breathing was still a little erratic: "Xiao Wenqi, you..."
Yan Xiao knocked on the door. After waiting for so long, he was getting impatient: "Third Prince, open the door! Xue Zhi said you've brought Princess Qinghe here, and I've brought the mute doctor as well. We're supposed to be treating Princess Qinghe, right? Why are you taking so long to open the door? Are you going to start the treatment or not?"
Yan Jiarou nudged him anxiously and whispered, "Xiao Che..."
Xiao Che raised an eyebrow, but said slowly and deliberately, "Yan Yan, you haven't answered me yet."
It seemed as if he would deliberately avoid opening the door if she didn't answer him.
Yan Jiarou had no choice but to blush and bite her lip, saying, "I...I promise you..."
Xiao Che looked at her with a half-smile, seemingly still unwilling to let her off so easily: "Promise me what?"
She bit down hard, leaving clear teeth marks on her bright red lips. A pale pink hue spread across Yan Jiarou's face, gradually reaching behind her ears and the side of her neck. She forced back her shame and said, "I promise... I promise I'll give it to you later... later..."
Xiao Che smiled with satisfaction and kissed her forehead as a reward: "Good girl, little bunny."
