Chapter 95 "My wife and I are of one mind."
After traveling all night from Beining back to Zhangwei, everyone was exhausted both physically and mentally.
Anyone who was pulled out of bed by Pei Xiaoxing at this time would be angry.
Ling Rui's tone was unhappy, "You'd better tell us something important."
In their view, returning home safely is a sign that the danger is over, so what big thing could happen?
But Pei Xiaoxing only said two words to make them completely sober up -
"The conditions for telepathic ability have changed again."
"Simple physical touch is no longer enough."
After a brief silence, everyone became restless.
Raven couldn't help but take a few steps closer, his tone becoming more urgent, "Explain yourself clearly."
Before Pei Xiaoxing opened his mouth, Huai Jun already understood what he meant.
"So, you and your wife have had a deeper contact, which has changed the conditions for using your telepathic ability."
Ling Rui didn't even have the energy to correct Huai Jun's address. The most important thing at the moment was, what exactly did Pei Xiaoxing do to his wife?
This lion was so innocent that it was frightening. Huai Jun patiently explained, "Don't you understand how badly he bit my wife's lips?"
"I……"
After returning home, Ling Rui was in a state of confusion.
Seeing Sheng Ran's swollen lips, he didn't think too deeply about it.
It was not until Huai Jun pointed it out at this moment that it seemed as if a meridian in his head was suddenly connected. His eyes widened immediately and he was so angry that he wanted to punch Pei Xiaoxing.
"How dare you offend my wife?"
Sheng Ran explicitly forbade peaceful coexistence at home and unreasonable fighting between beastly husbands was not allowed.
The remaining rationality made him suppress the urge to fight on the spot. Ling Rui stepped forward and grabbed Pei Xiaoxing by the collar, "You wolf, you call yourself a gentleman, but you are the first to have evil thoughts!"
The raven looked at him coldly and asked only one question, "Have you obtained the master's permission?"
If Pei Xiaoxing had any suspicion of forcing Sheng Ran, Raven would not let him go.
Knowing that he was wrong, Pei Xiaoxing did not resist. Even if Ling Rui really punched him, he would not fight back.
"I wanted my wife to be warm while she was on her way, so I accidentally took the medicine and impulsively offended her."
Pei Xiaoxing did not hide anything about what happened last night.
"Not only have the conditions for mind reading changed, but the wife has also become unable to say anything."
The others frowned when they heard this, "So my wife's condition has worsened?"
Pei Xiaoxing didn't nod, but said, "Not necessarily."
"I know you're unhappy, but now that things have come to this, maybe it's not a bad thing."
"I remember the last time the mind-reading conditions changed, my wife learned to speak not long after."
This deterioration may be a new turning point.
"Don't make excuses for yourself." Ling Rui's rage completely exploded. He grabbed Pei Xiaoxing's neck and pressed him hard against the stone wall.
With a dull thud, Pei Xiaoxing's head hit the stone and his vision went black in an instant.
The feeling of suffocation suddenly tightened my throat, as if an invisible hand was strangling my trachea, squeezing out even the last bit of air in my lungs.
Pei Xiaoxing's handsome and cold face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye, spreading from the roots of his ears to his jaw, and even his silver-gray wolf ears were stained an abnormal crimson color.
His toes were slightly off the ground, and his fingers subconsciously grabbed Ling Rui's wrist. His knuckles turned white from the force, but he was not begging for mercy. He was just instinctively fighting against the pain of suffocation.
"I... don't regret it." He spoke with difficulty, his voice hoarse as if it had been rubbed by sandpaper. Every word was breathy, intermittent, but extremely clear.
Ling Rui's grip became even stronger, his red eyes looking as if they were about to spurt blood: "You still dare to say you didn't do anything wrong? You kissed her when she wasn't paying attention, and you still dare to say you didn't do anything wrong?!"
Pei Xiaoxing's vision began to blur and his throat felt burning with pain, but the light in his silver eyes did not fade.
He looked at Ling Rui's furious face, then peered over his shoulder towards the direction of the room—
The wife was sleeping soundly just now and the door was closed tightly by him, so the noise here should not disturb her rest.
"If I hadn't... relied on the drug's effects... and been brave just once," he took a deep breath, only taking in sporadic air, his chest heaving violently, "I might... never have been able to enter my wife's heart."
"I... am now certain that my wife and I are of one mind."
"Even if she really can't speak a word in the future, I will stay by her side."
He spoke the last few words very softly, but with a determination to burn his boats.
Even though his neck was pinched and it hurt, even though the scene in front of him was becoming increasingly blurry, he still had to say this.
Ling Rui was stunned and the strength in his hands unconsciously loosened.
Until Raven suddenly stepped forward, broke his fist, and said unexpectedly, "Let go."
"He didn't take advantage of anyone." Raven's tone was flat, and no emotion could be heard. "Didn't he say that the master and he are in tune with each other? His actions were approved by the master, and we have no right to hold him responsible."
Pei Xiaoxing took the opportunity to take a breath of fresh air and started coughing violently. A fishy and sweet taste surged in his throat, but his face was still red, half from suffocation and half from the heat of speaking out.
He looked at them, his silver eyes showing no sign of retreat. "I will take on more responsibilities in the future. If you still have any dissatisfaction, just come to me."
Ling Rui turned his face away, took a step back, and his clenched fists were bulging with veins.
He looked at Pei Xiaoxing coughing while leaning against the wall, looked at his red neck and still determined eyes, and the anger in his heart seemed to be poured with a basin of cold water, leaving only an indescribable stagnation.
Rather than being dissatisfied with Pei Xiaoxing, he was actually angry with himself.
After knowing that Pei Xiaoxing kissed Sheng Ran, all the beastly husbands were not thinking - since he can do it, then I can do it too.
They knew very well in their hearts that the relationship between them and their wives was far from being that close.
They are not as good as Pei Xiaoxing and have not softened his wife's heart enough.
"Okay, stop arguing. At least the current situation is still under our control." Huai Jun stepped forward to smooth things over.
Ling Rui looked at him suspiciously, "You talk a lot today."
It would be a joke to say that an outsider is in charge of the overall situation.
Huaijun said calmly, "We all live under the same roof, and there will be many opportunities for us to get along with each other in the future."
Raven keenly caught his subtext, "What do you mean?"
"Yes, my wife agreed to let me stay."
Great, no wonder Huaijun keeps calling me wife today!
The current atmosphere is not suitable for continuing the conversation. Everyone dislikes each other and the slightest collision will spark sparks.
In order to maintain peace at home, they all went their separate ways and out of sight, out of mind.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
Lai Jie brought a group of guards to patrol the tribe as usual. When she passed by Sheng Ran's house, she took the opportunity to ask for her badge back.
Pei Xiaoxing came forward to return the item. "My wife is resting, so I'll give it to you. Thank you for your understanding these two times."
Lai Jie didn't leave immediately, but casually mentioned something, "By the way, there's news from the tribe entrance that one of your guests is visiting Zhangwei."
"guest?"
Pei Xiaoxing frowned, unable to imagine who would come to see them at this time.
It happened just as they returned from Beining.
