Chapter 94 I want you to stay by my side.
Sheng Ran walked in such a hurry that she knocked on the door twice and walked in directly.
Without any preparation, she saw a picture of a handsome man coming out of the bath. Her eyes fell on Pei Xiaoxing and she was stunned.
Water droplets hung from his wet hair, the collar of his shirt was crooked and open, revealing the undried water stains on the side of his neck, and his outer robe was hung loosely, with even the belt around his waist not tied properly.
But in a moment, the tips of her ears turned red first, and then a faint red spread across her cheeks. She hurriedly looked away, lowered her head to stare at the tips of her shoes, and her fingers unconsciously twisted the cuffs of her sleeves.
"Wife, what happened? Do you have something to say to me?" Pei Xiaoxing asked with concern.
Sheng Ran nodded twice randomly, then remembered the purpose of her coming here, [I am speechless...]
Pei Xiaoxing's chest kept getting bigger in front of her eyes. Sheng Ran took a half step back as if she was afraid to look at it any longer. Her eyelashes drooped even lower, and even her ears were stained with powder.
Pei Xiaoxing didn't understand the meaning of this for a moment, "Didn't you originally——"
The conversation suddenly stopped and silence stretched between the two.
After a long time, Sheng Ran heard Pei Xiao's voice coming from above her head, with a difficult hoarse voice, "...even the words that have been successfully learned cannot be spoken?"
Sheng Ran nodded gloomily.
Pei Xiaoxing clenched his fists and suddenly felt weak.
It's his fault.
He shouldn't have taken the medicine, shouldn't have kissed his wife so offensively.
If these things hadn't happened, perhaps all this chaos wouldn't have happened.
Not only was the wife unable to speak again, but they could no longer hear her inner voice—at least not through simple physical contact.
Pei Xiaoxing couldn't wait to confirm something. He looked at Sheng Ran hesitantly and gently stroked her cheek with his fingertips.
"My wife..."
Even though he had just taken a cold shower, the freezing temperature made even he, an orc with ice and snow abilities, shiver.
But now, just looking at Sheng Ran, Pei Xiaoxing felt hot all over again.
He called Sheng Ran's name softly, his breath closer, carrying the slightly hot steam from the bath.
Pei Xiaoxing also knew that this request was absurd and nonsensical, but he still said it out loud.
"Can I kiss you again?"
As the words fell, Sheng Ran suddenly looked up and glanced at him in panic, as if to confirm whether he was really Pei Xiaoxing.
The cheeks, which were originally only slightly red, suddenly became hotter, and even the back of the ears and the sides of the neck were dyed dark pink, as if they were steamed by the heat.
The fingers that were just twisting the cuffs of his sleeves suddenly curled up, wrinkling the silk cloth, and his head drooped even lower, almost burying it in his chest.
Not knowing why he asked this, Sheng Ran's breathing paused for a moment, but she did not shake her head, step back, or push him away.
Her acquiescence was tantamount to encouragement to Pei Xiaoxing.
He gently brushed away the loose hair hanging on her cheek with his fingertips, moving so slowly as if he was afraid of disturbing something.
When he leaned over, his breath with moisture brushed against her brow bone, but he only placed a very light kiss on her forehead.
The kiss was as soft as early spring snow, but it made her already hot skin even hotter, and even her buried head shrank subconsciously.
Pei Xiaoxing did not leave immediately. He closed his eyes and tried to feel his wife's thoughts.
Just one word will do.
——But it didn’t.
His mind was in a mess. Didn't this kiss cause any ripples in his wife's heart?
Shouldn't.
Pei Xiaoxing clearly saw that her eyelashes were fluttering rapidly, trembling like butterfly wings after rain, and even the corners of her eyes were a little red as if with moisture.
Now that the medicine has no effect, everyone is extremely conscious.
The wife did not reject his approach, perhaps she also had feelings for him.
Pei Xiaoxing couldn't help but sigh, "My wife..."
Before Sheng Ran could recover, he lowered his head again, and this time, kissed her on the lips.
It was very light, with a hint of tentative tenderness, not as plain as the one on the forehead just now, but without any urgency.
Her eyelashes twitched violently, and she suddenly closed her eyes. Even the fingers clutching her sleeves turned white, and her breathing became irregular.
Her nostrils were filled with the refreshing moisture from his body, mixed with a faint scent of soapberry, making her feel as if she was immersed in a warm cloud. Even her ears turned red, but she couldn't bear to avoid him.
I really like it...
[This is the first kiss without being blinded by the effects of the drug.]
[He really meant it, didn't he?]
Sheng Ran gradually lost herself in Pei Xiaoxing's gentle conquest. Her whole body softened, and all her worries were thrown behind her. Only the hot and clean breath remained at the tip of her nose.
Before she could react, Pei Xiaoxing suddenly let go of her, but did not completely withdraw.
"It's my true heart." Pei Xiaoxing slowly opened his eyes, and his eyes could only hold her, hiding deep affection.
He looked at her without blinking, as if she were a rare treasure in the world. "Whether it was last night or now, it is all my true heart."
Sheng Ran listened to his words with a confused heartbeat. His tone was so solemn that he promised her all the peace of mind she needed.
"In the process of voice recovery, there will inevitably be good and bad progress."
"But don't worry, my wife. I will always be by your side. No matter what happens in the future, I will do everything I can to understand your heart."
Pei Xiaoxing hugged Sheng Ran tightly in his arms, confirming at least one thing: he could now understand his wife's heart through kissing.
The situation wasn't too bad, and none of them could give up.
"You can just rest here with me, I will take care of you." Pei Xiaoxing looked at Sheng Ran with heartache and couldn't bear to continue to torment her.
Sheng Ran knew the truth, but she still felt greatly comforted when she heard it from Pei Xiaoxing.
Sheng Ran grew up alone and was used to this kind of life, but suddenly someone was willing to break into her world.
Tell her that she doesn't have to handle everything alone in the future.
Being able to spend your life with such a person may be a hard-earned thing.
The opportunity is right in front of her. Is she going to watch this happiness slip away from her hands?
Sheng Ran felt sleepy and her eyelids were twitching, but she still mustered up her last bit of strength and poked Pei Xiaoxing.
[Is your curse getting worse?]
Pei Xiaoxing was stunned. He didn't expect Sheng Ran to be so keenly aware of his physical changes.
"Don't worry, my wife. I—"
I don't want you to die.
[I want you to stay by my side.]
Pei Xiaoxing suddenly paused.
He stared at Sheng Ran, his heart beating so fast that he couldn't utter a word.
In the past, he relied on the fact that he didn't have much time left to live and tried to cling to his wife until death.
But Sheng Ran said that she didn't want him to die.
She wanted Pei Xiaoxing to live well and stay with her.
He knew the difference between the two, a world of difference.
Pei Xiaoxing's throat choked slightly, and he responded very slowly with "Okay".
After giving Sheng Ran a final kiss on the forehead, Pei Xiaoxing gently coaxed her to sleep.
After confirming that Sheng Ran was asleep, he tiptoed out of the room, gathered the others, and went straight to the point to discuss something.
"The conditions for telepathic ability have changed again."
"Simple physical touch is no longer enough."
