For several days, Mingye sneaked in every night like a thief, checking her wounds, applying medicine, and holding her to sleep all night. As her injuries gradually healed, Mingye's hands became more and more restless. Although they pressed against the fabric, they still made her heart tremble...
Throbbing and anxious.
She couldn't go on like this, what if she couldn't control herself one day... She hadn't fallen asleep that day. Instead, she lit an oil lamp and sat at the table, looking at a storybook and crackling melon seeds. The door was tightly closed, and in the candlelight, she saw a dark shadow outside the door that was always moving around. Although sleepiness was coming like a tide, Jiuxi still forced herself to read, and even drank a large cup of cold tea. The weather in early autumn was so cool that it was a bit refreshing.
Outside the door, there was another world. Mingye leaned against the wall. When he heard the sound of drinking tea inside, he whispered to Li Zang, "It's so late, Li Zang, go and let her sleep!"
Li Zang knew very well that if the Lord didn't go in, he would have no chance of finding his old lover that night. However, rushing into a girl's room in the middle of the night... was not a good idea.
Helpless, the Lord's eyes were too terrifying, so Li Zang could only slowly approach the door, knocked gently, and then pushed the door open and walked in. He looked at Jiuxi with an extremely respectful look and said, "Sir, it's getting late and the weather is getting cold. It's time to go to bed."
Jiuxi then turned a page of the book, looked up at the corner of the clothes through the crack in the door, and then turned his gaze to Li Zang and said, "I am not sleepy yet, Li Zang, you go to sleep first."
Li Zang had no choice but to walk out in despair.
Another hour passed, and Li Zang was almost asleep. There was still no sound from inside. At this moment, Ming Ye suddenly kicked the door open. Looking at the bloodshot eyes, a hint of surprise flashed across his face. He looked at the cover of the book again, wondering what kind of good-looking storybook it was that could make her stay up late to finish reading it.
Jiuxi frowned and asked, "Why did your Majesty come in?"
There was a strong sense of dissatisfaction in his words.
Ming Ye raised his eyebrows and said in a voice as clear as a spring, "This is my bedroom. What's wrong with me coming in?"
"Your Majesty, please do as you please." She quietly turned another page, her eyes returning to the pages. Ming Ye leaned closer to him and muttered, "I'd like to see what kind of interesting book this is."
She was panicking in her heart. His warm breathing echoed in her ears from time to time, and even her neck was blown by that warmth. That throbbing... came again.
Ming Ye snatched the notebook from her hand, flipped through a few pages, and expressed his own opinion. "You should read less of this notebook. It's full of **** and other nonsense..."
This is what is called quoting out of context. They are obviously not biological siblings, but he said... such disgusting things about them.
It was really noisy. Jiuxi was already sleepy at this time. She yawned several times and said, "I'm going to sleep. Your Majesty, please take your time to read it."
The warm yellow candlelight seemed to bring a touch of warm love, but before she could touch the bed, Ming Ye threw the book into the bookshelf first. Then she felt a gust of warm wind. Ming Ye had taken off his outer robe and got into bed. Although she was awake a few days ago, she was pretending to be asleep. Tonight, there was no way she could sleep with him... with him.
She looked at him with his legs crossed, his arms under his head, looking at her complacently. She could only sigh that he had a childish temper and it was impossible to go out and find a room. She opened the wardrobe and took out two quilts. She spread one on the ground and covered herself with the other. She blew out the candle carefully, then lay down on the ground, turned over, leaving only her back facing him, and she stared at the window in a daze.
