Chapter 57 I Won’t Drive You Away Again
After Pei Xiaoxing said the four words "end of life", the air suddenly froze.
Sheng Ran's face was filled with astonishment, her brain was buzzing, as if a string had completely broken.
...So he's still going to die?
In Sheng Ran's mind, each of these beastly husbands was extremely powerful. She only considered whether they would turn evil and pose a threat to her life.
But I never thought they would die.
When did his health become so bad, and why did he never tell her?
Sheng Ran's expression froze, and she didn't react for a long time.
Pei Xiaoxing saw his wife's eyelashes tremble, like a butterfly resting on a petal being startled.
His hanging hands curled up unconsciously, and a thin layer of sweat had already appeared on his palms. Pei Xiaoxing paused for a moment and then spoke.
"I know you've been planning to break off the engagement for a while now." His Adam's apple rolled, and his voice was a little tight. "But my dear wife, I won't leave you, and I beg you not to drive me away so ruthlessly. I know my body well, and I won't live long..."
Sheng Ran frowned and suddenly covered his lips, interrupting him abruptly and not allowing Pei Xiaoxing to continue.
Bah! These words are so unlucky!
Sheng Ran kept shaking her head, not knowing which sentence she was denying.
Pei Xiaoxing just wanted to wait for her affirmative answer.
Regardless of whether Sheng Ran changed before or after, he had no intention of leaving her, but she became the one who wanted to drive them away.
A lot of things happened during the days he was away. Raven surrendered, Huai Jun broke the contract, and Pei Xiaoxing was more afraid of that day than before.
Pei Xiaoxing didn't want to continue living this life of worrying about gains and losses.
Pei Xiaoxing's heart was in great fear. His fingertips gently rubbed the back of Sheng Ran's hand, covering it little by little.
First he used his fingertips, then his palm, and finally he dared to half-hold her hand in his palm and move it away from his lips.
"Wife, I don't expect you to agree immediately, but at least start reconsidering our future from now on, is that okay?"
He gradually tightened the strength in his hands, and sweat oozed out faster. He could even feel his pulse beating through their touching skin, transmitted to her hands.
Sheng Ran had no way of rejecting Pei Xiaoxing. With her thoughts in a mess, she nodded slowly and shook his hand back.
To be fair, Pei Xiaoxing is rigorous, reliable, and considerate. If Sheng Ran continues to get along with him for a long time, it will definitely not be Sheng Ran who suffers.
Since he himself doesn't care about the past, Sheng Ran has nothing to worry about.
Under his nervous and expectant gaze, Sheng Ran wrote down carefully, [I won't chase you away again——]
[But you are not allowed to say those discouraging words anymore.]
Pei Xiaoxing suddenly looked up and saw the stubbornness in her eyes.
After a whole night of tossing and turning, she was clearly hiding her fatigue but refused to show it at all.
Pei Xiaoxing's heart felt like it was being tightly gripped by something, making it feel sore and soft.
For the past twenty years, he always thought that he had been cursed and had lost all his temper, and had given up struggling long ago.
But at this moment, looking at the light in her eyes, the flame that he thought had long been extinguished was actually rekindled faintly and struggling in his chest.
[Wow, congratulations to the host! Pei Xiaoxing's Darkness value has dropped by 10 points! Now it's only 5!]
Pei Xiaoxing's blackening value has been steadily decreasing, and Sheng Ran had already expected that it would be the first to drop to single digits.
She was just slightly surprised, but quickly regained her composure.
The system came at the right time, and I plan to ask it some questions.
Sheng Ran didn't believe that Pei Xiaoxing would really die because of this curse. Even if there was only a glimmer of hope and a possibility, she would give it a try.
There must be a solution, right?
The system's voice became much quieter, and it spoke weakly, "This is the first time I've heard of Pei Xiaoxing's situation. I haven't heard of a similar case before, so I can't give the host an answer for now..."
Then, it changed the subject, "However! Since the host has such a special physique, regularly making nourishing medicinal soup for Pei Xiaoxing might be effective!"
Sheng Ran calmed herself down and nodded softly inwardly. It seemed that this was the only way at the moment.
She pushed Pei Xiaoxing back onto the bed.
[You should have a good rest first. Don't do any dirty or tiring work these days.]
The problem that had troubled Pei Xiaoxing for a long time was finally solved, so he had no time to rest now.
"My dear wife, the curse hasn't taken effect yet, and my body isn't that weak yet." His voice was filled with a gentle smile. "Besides, I enjoy doing things for you."
Sheng Ran hadn't seen such a "stupid" person for a long time, and he was actually rushing to do the work.
She couldn't persuade Pei Xiaoxing, so she could only let him go.
There are two people in the family who need medicine. Sheng Ran goes to the yard to pick herbs every day when she opens her eyes.
Sheng Ran was about to go to Beining City again, so she had to pick more flowers at once. She picked all the flowers and plants that could be picked on the half hill in front of her home.
I happened to meet the uncle next door who came out to wash clothes. He looked at the sunny sky outside, squinted his eyes comfortably, and chatted with Sheng Ran, "The weather at the end of this chapter is getting weirder and weirder! This is the first time I've seen the sun in winter!"
Thinking of the dragon with shocking words and simple mind, Sheng Ran also smiled.
It seems that Zhu Jiuyin is in a good mood.
Ever since she met him, Sheng Ran finally understood why the grass in front of her home could never be fully picked.
He always said that she was the one who saved him and awakened him, but Sheng Ran wanted to thank the mountain god for his blessing, which gave her an inexhaustible storehouse of medicine.
Sheng Ran returned home with a basket full of herbs, and there was already hot food on the table.
Even more lively was the atmosphere at the table. When the beastly husbands saw her, their eyes lit up. Ling Rui couldn't wait to ask, "Wife, are you really able to speak again?"
It seemed that Pei Xiaoxing had already told them what happened in the morning. Sheng Ran nodded, but still couldn't make a sound on her own.
She has only just regained the ability to speak, and it still requires specific stimulation or timing.
Unable to hear his wife's voice in person, Ling Rui became extremely anxious and blamed all his anger on Pei Xiaoxing.
"Why didn't you tell us right away? We are also your wife's husbands. We need to be aware of any changes in her physical condition in order to better serve her. Don't even think about claiming your wife as your own."
Yesterday's opportunity to sleep with the emperor originally belonged to him, so why was it snatched away by Pei Xiaoxing?
Ling Rui thought, if he had been with his wife last night, he might have been the first person to hear his wife's voice!
The raven also regretted why it didn't stay by their side stubbornly.
He also wanted to hear his master's voice with his own ears.
The dinner table was bustling with activity, but Huaijun was the only one sitting there with his eyes downcast, not saying a word.
Sheng Ran remembered something, knocked on the table, and told him, "After breakfast, I'll give you another dose of medicine."
She was delayed by Pei Xiaoxing's affairs yesterday and had no time to take care of Huai Jun.
His appearance has recovered to a great extent, and as long as he continues to persevere, he will get better soon.
Unexpectedly, Huai Jun looked at her hesitantly for a long time, and to Sheng Ran's surprise, he turned his head slightly.
"Let's talk about it in a few days."
“…Although the effect is good, it’s better not to use it too frequently.”
There was a moment of silence at the dinner table, and the attention of the beastly husbands was instantly drawn to him. They looked at Huai Jun in shock and dissatisfaction.
——He doesn’t want to be treated anymore, does he?
Are you planning to stay here and not leave?!
