Shen Zhiyi looked up and wept.
She didn't even bother to pick up the mermaid pearls; all she could think about was escaping from him.
She didn't understand why, even though she was the one who wanted to extract his pearl, she ended up crying even more than him.
Her whole body ached.
It cried out "Ai ai wu wu" for quite a while.
"Qingqing, don't cry." Qingyuan's heart ached. He held her and placed a series of soft, gentle kisses on her tear-streaked cheeks. "I won't move anymore, okay?"
"Don't be afraid."
He pressed his forehead against hers, gently comforting her, and finally, in the instant she relaxed, he used all his self-control to pull away from her.
He rolled over and lay back on the couch, letting out a suppressed growl from his throat as he tried to suppress his emotions.
Those deep, ocean-like eyes still churn with a storm of longing.
His eyes were bloodshot, veins bulged on his forehead, and all the muscles in his body were bulging.
But she still held back, using almost all her self-control.
Shen Zhiyi was still in a daze.
Tears welled in her eyes, her pupils stared unfocused into the void, her face was flushed, and her temples were damp with sweat.
She was breathing softly, her lips slightly parted.
Qingyuan infused her demonic power into the mermaid gauze, slowed her movements, and carefully helped her put it on.
A healing and soothing sensation instantly spreads throughout the body.
Shen Zhiyi gradually regained her composure.
Then, she glared softly at the instigator with her shy yet angry eyes.
"It's all your fault," she accused, "you were so reckless."
Her eyes, brimming with moisture, seemed both coquettish and reproachful.
Qingyuan suddenly felt a surge of heat rush to his head.
He cursed under his breath, unable to suppress his anger any longer. He rolled out of bed, strode to the cold spring, and leaped in.
Upon hearing a loud "crash," Shen Zhiyi turned to face the inside.
Her face slowly turned red.
She lay there for a while, and then the pain was gone.
Shen Zhiyi looked at the mermaid veil on her body with some surprise.
I never expected that something so thin and light could have such a wonderful use.
She sat up, looked at the tall figure with his back to her in the cold spring, then looked back at the mermaid pearls on the soft blanket and the ground.
He paused for a moment.
He lifted his foot and slowly walked towards the cold spring.
Her fair feet dipped into the water, and she descended the steps.
A ripple spread across the water's surface.
Qingyuan suddenly opened his eyes and saw Shen Zhiyi gracefully descending, her skirt billowing in the water, some parts submerged and some floating on the surface, wading towards him. A storm raged in his eyes.
Almost the instant he saw her enter the water, he used his internal energy to adjust the temperature of the cold spring to a comfortable level for her.
His words remained cold, resisting her approach.
"Qingqing, don't come any closer," he warned in a low voice.
Shen Zhiyi noticed his furrowed brow and the tiny droplets of water on his forehead, unsure whether they were from the splash of spring water or from the sweat he was sweating from enduring pain...
Even though she was so fragile, he still thought of adjusting the water temperature for her as soon as possible... This warm water was comfortable for her, but for him, it would bring even deeper torment.
But for her sake, he was willing to torture himself.
Deeply aware of the heart, Microsoft.
She softened her voice and said gently, "You are my husband. Since you have healed my wounds, I cannot abandon you."
Qingyuan's pupils suddenly contracted.
His eyes were filled with disbelief and panic, and his voice was deep and hoarse.
Do you know what you're saying?
"I know." Shen Zhiyi met his gaze, her eyes firm. "I said, I want to help you."
As soon as she finished speaking, she walked up to him.
Just as I was about to touch him, I suddenly stepped on an incredibly smooth pebble.
"Ah!" Shen Zhiyi exclaimed in surprise and fell into the water.
The expected feeling of suffocation did not come.
She opened her eyes and was surprised to find herself in the water, able to breathe freely!
Could it be...
Was it the mermaid-like fabric she was wearing that had the effect?
She opened her lips.
No water flowed in.
She was even more shocked to discover that she could actually speak!
Shen Zhiyi's eyes widened in surprise.
Before they could even catch their breath, a figure approached like a swift ocean current in an instant.
Qingyuan stretched out his strong arm, wrapped it around her waist, and instantly pulled her towards him, locking her firmly in his embrace.
Shen Zhiyi looked up at the handsome face so close to her, her expression momentarily dazed.
He seems even more captivating when viewed underwater...
"It's not too late to leave now." Qingyuan's eyes were dark as he stared intently at her, one hand caressing her cheek, his thumb slowly stroking it.
I wish I could pour all my love into her.
Shen Zhiyi covered the back of his hand, her fingertips touching a terrifyingly hot temperature. She sighed softly and hooked her arms around his neck.
