Chapter 35 Kissing the Stars' Heartbeat is Fast
Xiao Ran could be considered an extremely rare, high-grade spirit beast, with pure bloodline and profound spiritual power. He had never truly feared anyone. Even when trapped in a pool of blood, he felt more anger than fear.
But when he saw the man's deep eyes without any emotion, his fingers trembled unconsciously.
His shaking was not violent this time, but it still woke up Xu Xingxing who had just fallen asleep.
"What's wrong, Ah Ran?" Xu Xingxing's voice was nasal and soft, as if she was acting coquettishly. "Why aren't you sleeping?"
Xiao Ran had returned to normal and smiled gently, "I was worried that Xingxing would get cold, so I covered you with a piece of clothing."
"Ha ha,"
She was already fully clothed, so how could she easily get cold? However, she still pulled her clothes closer and said with a smile, "Thank you, Ah Ran."
The atmosphere around him suddenly became cold, and Xu Xingxing felt as if a cold gaze was trying to penetrate him. Only then did he realize that something was wrong.
Following the line of sight, I saw those cold black eyes.
Her breath hitched, ecstasy instantly flooding her heart, her eyes uncontrollably moistened. She immediately grabbed Xiao Hei's sleeve and said excitedly, "You're awake!"
Xiao Hei looked at her without responding, but he couldn't help but pursed his lips slightly.
Seeing his cold eyes, Xu Xingxing thought he was feeling unwell, so she touched his brows and asked, "What's wrong? Why do you look so pale? Are you feeling unwell?"
Xiao Hei's forehead suddenly touched that warm palm, and the annoyance and awkwardness that had just risen in his heart instantly disappeared. He grasped the softness in his palm and clenched it tightly, saying, "My head hurts."
This is not a lie. He had many dreams. It seemed that he had been to many places in his dreams, and it seemed that many foreign things poured into his brain, making him feel a terrible headache even in his sleep.
"Headache?"
Xu Xingxing's heart trembled when she saw her hand being held tightly. Although she wanted to touch his forehead again, she couldn't bear to pull her hand away.
So, taking Xiao Hei's hand, he touched his forehead again with the exposed fingers, and touched his own with his other hand, trying to compare the temperatures and ask, "Is he having a fever?"
But there is no comparison.
Then she stood up, leaned over, and rested her forehead directly against his.
A warm forehead pressed against his brow, and Xiao Hei's heart was empty for a moment. He remembered the scene when the woman led him into his sea of consciousness last time. He subconsciously felt a little embarrassed and annoyed. He was about to avoid it, but he accidentally glanced at the cold vertical pupils of the man in green beside the bed.
For some reason, he immediately stopped wanting to move, and even said, "It does relieve the pain a little if you stick to it like this."
Xu Xingxing said, "Hmm?" and moved away a little. She looked at him with sparkling eyes and said with a smile, "Really? Not only is my spiritual power your medicine, but my forehead has become your medicine too? Then if you feel comfortable, I'll stick to it for a while longer."
Xiao Hei remained noncommittal, his ears starting to feel hot, but he still said venomously, "What? If I feel comfortable, you'll stay close to me?"
His heart tightened uncontrollably, and he didn't understand why he said such an incoherent thing, but as he saw the green-clothed man's face getting worse, he felt relieved.
"I will put it on, of course! You are my savior now. I will obey such a simple request from you." After saying that, just as he was about to put it on, he suddenly remembered that Xiao Ran was still standing beside him.
Xu Xingxing's face flushed, and he wanted to send the person away: "Ah Ran, it's so late, you should go to my room and sleep. Xiao Hei and I still need to talk, so I won't disturb your sleep."
"How can it be a disturbance? I can sleep peacefully here." Xiao Ran was still as considerate as ever, but she looked a little flustered. "Am I disturbing you here? I'll leave right away."
There are some hindrances.
After subconsciously thinking this, Xu Xingxing suddenly froze, feeling like an old pervert who had sent an innocent child away. Looking at Xiaoran's panicked expression, he felt a sense of self-blame for no reason, and responded carefully: "No, Ah Ran, how could it be possible that—"
"Brother, you still have some self-awareness. Then Xingxing and I won't see you off."
Her words were interrupted by the person on the bed. The words were unpleasant, and Xu Xingxing turned her head to look over.
Xiao Hei's lips were pale at this time, and he looked fragile and weak, but there was a cold light in his eyes, which reflected the golden light reflected by the bell on his neck. He slightly curled his lips, and his half-smile looked charming and dangerous.
"Speak nicely." She thought he was averse to strangers, so she patted his hand to reassure him. Then she enthusiastically introduced him, "Xiao Ran is the Nine Netherworld Snake we rescued, and also your fellow patient. You should get along well with her."
"Oh? Really? Of course I do."
Xiao Hei chuckled scornfully, then repeated, "Xiao Ran, you still have some self-awareness. We won't see you off, bye."
Xu Xingxing: ...
A hint of viciousness flashed across Xiao Ran's eyes, but in an instant it turned into reverence. "Brother Xiaohei is right. I'll leave now. But Xingxing told me before that if it weren't for you, we wouldn't have made it out alive. No matter what, thank you for your help and for saving Xingxing and me from this dire situation. I can never repay you for saving my life. From now on, I will, like Xingxing, remember your kindness and follow your lead."
Stars, stars, stars.
The two of us, me and the stars, me and the stars.
ha?
A nameless anger surged in Xiao Hei's chest, and his eyes narrowed slightly, hiding the overwhelming murderous intent in them. He had just clearly seen Xiao Ran's eyes, which were filled with hostility, and then he deliberately mentioned this name again and again...
Oh.
To appear close?
He licked his lips and held Xu Xingxing's hand tighter: "Well, now your savior wants you out, can you hurry up?"
After he finished speaking, he did not wait for Xiao Ran to respond, but called out:
"Star."
Xu Xingxing was hesitating because of the stiff atmosphere. Just as she was about to say something to ease the situation, she heard Xiao Hei calling her.
Before she could look over, she felt a heat on the back of her head, and the next moment her head was led over by the man's hand, and her forehead was covered with his eyebrows again.
Xu Xingxing: “…”
My heartbeat suddenly quickened.
Maybe because she watched too many idol dramas, she subconsciously thought of kissing.
The delicate eyebrows and eyes so close to him were tinged with impatience, and he complained, "Didn't you say you should stick to it as long as I told you to? I have a terrible headache, and you just obeyed me like that?"
Xu Xingxing felt like there was a live rabbit stuffed in her chest, jumping around more happily than a deer. She no longer wanted to resist and just whispered, "Does it really work? You're just kidding..."
He seemed to be feeling much more comfortable, and he even closed his eyes peacefully, but he kept saying, "What's the matter? Xiaoran, I'm not feeling well right now. How about we get along better tomorrow?"
Xiao Ran was so angry when he saw the scene in front of him that he opened and closed his mouth again and again, but in the end he could only utter the word "goodbye".
“…”
Xu Xingxing felt extremely embarrassed. She didn't know whether to get up or not. She wanted to say something anxiously, but then she felt the claws on the back of her head move to the back of her neck and pinched it twice threateningly. Her throat choked and she didn't say a word.
I'm sorry, A'ran! Please forgive my disregard for my beauty! Tomorrow I'll personally prepare an eyewash for you!
The door opened and closed, and the room returned to silence, with only the sounds of the two people breathing closely together and their pounding heartbeats.
Heartbeat...
Forehead……
It seems like I only have my own...
Xu Xingxing felt like digging her toes into the ground.
Ever since she survived the thunder tribulation, her five senses have become much stronger than before. From the small things like the dripping sweat of a servant to the big sounds of the wind sweeping across the clouds, as long as she wants to hear it, she can feel as if she is there, as if it is right next to her ears.
But she didn't like this feeling, it was too noisy.
So except when listening to gossip, she manually blocked her five senses.
But now, she clearly opened her five senses and could hear Fang Zhiming's rapid heartbeat as if he had taken stimulants when he faced Lin Yue from several yards away, but she could not hear the slightest fluctuation in Xiao Hei's heart.
Perhaps because his body had not yet recovered, his heartbeat was much weaker than usual.
She was a little out of sorts.
The heartbeat of two people is ambiguous, and the heartbeat of one person is... secret love?
Secret love?!
She succeeded in becoming impotent...
Even if Xu Xingxing has to live out her life alone, she doesn't want this kind of humble secret love!
So, she directly touched Xiao Hei's chest and asked in a puzzled tone, "Is it okay if your heartbeat is so weak? Or should I call Yue Baiyin over?"
…
Is this seduction or concern?
Xu Xingxing, are you capable of this?
She really can't.
So I gave up immediately.
Whatever, she doesn’t want to keep this position anymore! Her waist is sore!!
Xiao Hei suddenly opened his eyes and looked at her, his lips raised in a smile like a proud child: "Xingxing's heartbeat is really fast."
Xu Xingxing, whose pain point was touched: ...
Xu Xingxing, trying to save face, said, "Really? Haha, that must be a problem with the posture. After all, men and women shouldn't be intimate with each other. Even if A'ran and I were like this, our heart would still beat this fast."
Yes, don't misunderstand anything.
Even if it's not a misunderstanding, don't even think about getting any useful information from me!
Xu Xingxing's eyes were determined to join the party.
Xiao Hei's smile disappeared in an instant, his eyes turned cold, and the hand that was pinching the back of her neck loosened. Xu Xingxing immediately moved forward and sat up straight, secretly rubbing her waist.
Seeing how quickly she left, Xiao Hei's face darkened, and his heartbeat slowed down. He then retracted the magic he had just used to conceal his true feelings and sneered, "Aran, Aran, this Nine Netherworld Snake is truly delightful. If I had woken up a few days later, I'm afraid your natal spirit beast would have been replaced."
Xu Xingxing was puzzled by his sudden bad mood, but still said seriously, "How is that possible? The beast contract can only be broken by death."
It cannot be solved without death, so what if it is not death?
Xiao Hei felt his heart sink even further. "Only death can break it? How can you say such a lie at this point? Yue Baiyin himself said that this contract is not completely unbreakable. What? Did you forget what he told you a few days ago?"
