Song Song thought she was being so gentle and soft-spoken, desperate to try every trick to plead with him, he should be moved or reconsider going to Taohuawu, but unexpectedly, he was unyielding as if he had already decided to take Taohuawu.
But taking down Taohuawu is no easy feat.
Not to ntion anything else, even pinpointing the location is a problem—
Going there rashly is practically a suicide mission.
"Xiao Jinghuai, I’ve never asked you for anything, just this one thing, please listen to , okay?" Song Song, driven to desperation, resorted to pestering him like this.
The man curled his lips, "Are you sure you haven’t asked? I rember just the day before, you were in bed begging to go gentler, slower, wasn’t that you?"
If Song Song’s eyes weren’t sore, her fist would have flown back, "Old scoundrel."
Xiao Jinghuai was very pleased with her reaction, leaning forward to lick her delicate earlobe, "But you really like old scoundrels!"
"Yes, you just rely on my liking you, that’s why you dare to treat so recklessly." Song Song was really exasperated, "Have you ever thought that going to Taohuawu like this would only lead to mutual destruction, who do you want to help? Help you or help Great Grandfather?"
"..."
Her relationship with Great Grandfather is blood that runs thicker than water, it can’t be severed.
If she helps her husband, it would be betrayal of her clan, and in Taohuawu, she’d be torn to pieces.
She admits, Taohuawu is indeed a very cruel place, but those who are there have already accustod to it.
Once Taohuawu is destroyed, what will happen to those people?
Xiao Jinghuai cautiously bandaged her wounds, treating her like a rare treasure, "You’re always like this, always thinking of others first no matter what. But I’m different, once I’ve decided to do sothing, I’m willing to defy everyone in the world to achieve it. Song Song, sotis I actually hate your indecisiveness and feminine kindness."
"Right now the blind one is you, not anyone else! Why care about what others think? Besides... if your Great Grandfather truly cared for you, he wouldn’t have intentionally blinded you, understand?"
"Silly girl—"
"I understand." Song Song slowly lowered her head, "Just because I understand, that’s why sotis feel hearts are truly cold, so cold that it’s better to pretend to not understand. Like how I used to live foolishly and daftly seed fine, at least without worries, now it feels like the world’s troubles are on alone, crushing ."
Xiao Jinghuai didn’t expect her to think like this, "Do you still have worries by my side?"
Song Song suddenly had tears streaming down her face, falling onto the man’s hand, "You’re one of my worries too, if I liked you a little less it would be easy to choose, I’d just stand by my Great Grandfather’s side and throw you bunch of turtle bastards wanting to invade Taohuawu out, yet... I just can’t help myself."
Xiao Jinghuai didn’t expect her to say such bold words, even daring to call them turtle bastards.
"I like your inability to help yourself, loving more isn’t bad." The man reached to lift the woman’s chin, precisely covering her lips and murmured, "Then let’s have a little turtle bastard together, okay?"
Suddenly a thunderbolt crossed Song Song’s mind, those old mories were forced out, her vision clouded with the blood mist of the children who died young before even opening their eyes to the world—
She suddenly felt cold all over, even the man’s heated advances couldn’t warm her body.
Xiao Jinghuai sensed her peculiarity, felt a bit annoyed and irked. He watched her, "What’s wrong? Your body is shaking, are you cold?"
"..." Song Song clenched her teeth as if enduring imnse pain, "Can you not touch for a while?"
— Can you not touch for a while?
Xiao Jinghuai’s eyes suddenly froze, his hand stopped moving, yet his eyes showed a hint of coldness, he reversed his grip and tightly embraced the woman, lying down with her on the bed, he’s not ignorant to the fact that since she’s returned, she’s sowhat resisted their intimacy.
Tied on the bed during this period, she seed to comply, but it was never sincere, just to please him.
If it’s just about pleasing him, he can bear not touching her—
This matter is supposed to be an intimate pleasure both spouses enjoy, if it turns into one party faking emotions to deliberately cheer up the other, it loses its aning.
The two lay side by side on the bed, clearly hearing each other’s heartbeat, one beat at a ti.
His hand placed on her abdon, "Why? Are you still mad at , blaming for keeping you locked up?"
Song Song’s heart drumd loudly, suddenly turning over and tightly clasped the man’s waist, burying her head in his chest, "Nothing, just don’t want to, tired."
"Then you rest, I’ll go to the study..."
"Can’t you just hold and sleep here?" Song Song deliberately clung to him, knowing he’d surely go study how to attack Taohuawu, "Is the study that good, better than the bedroom, better than your wife?"
This coquettish tone was sothing Xiao Jinghuai couldn’t resist, he could only hold her tighter, coaxing her, "Of course it can’t compare, no one compares to you, feeling better now!"
"That’s more like it—"
The man chuckled, slipping fingers into her mouth, deliberately pinching on her soft tongue tip, "Such a sharp tongue."
"Humph!" Song Song feigned biting him, "Move again, I’ll bite you."
Xiao Jinghuai: "Like a dog."
"No, like a rabbit—"
"How so?" He was curious.
"Even rabbits bite when cornered!"
Xiao Jinghuai smiled knowingly, planting a kiss on her forehead, "Sleep, I’m not going anywhere."
"Hmm—"
Actually, it was clear to everyone, once she fell asleep, he’d surely go to the study.
...
To Song Song, Xiao Jinghuai’s scent had a sleep-inducing effect, shortly she felt she couldn’t hold on, wanting to sleep, but to keep him from going to the study, researching strategies, she forced herself to stay awake, almost wanting to use cotton swabs to prop her eyes open.
Though she’s blind, opening or not doesn’t make any difference, but at least in his view, she’s not asleep.
But, he unexpectedly sang a lullaby later, thus she soon drifted into a deep sleep—
The man felt her breathing steady, looked down at her, tapping her nose, "Silly girl, too green to fight ."
Xiao Jinghuai wanted to turn and get off the bed but found she was tightly gripping the hem of his clothes.
He glanced at her, then slowly pried her fingers apart, seeing her suddenly turn over, he unexpectedly broke out in a cold sweat—
Song Song, in her dreams, was grasping around, seeing this, Xiao Jinghuai imdiately stuffed a pillow in her arms.
He heard her mumble in her sleep, "Xiao... Jinghuai, you can’t leave, have to sleep with , only when I’m asleep you can leave. But... I won’t tell you, I will try not to sleep..."
This sleep talk made the man’s heart soft and numb.
