“No!” Feng Qingbai replied without the slightest hesitation, “Not to mention that it was just a dream, even if it was real, I would not be afraid. So what if you are really a witch? Even if you’re a witch, I’ll be with nobody else but you!”
The girl’s eyes gradually regained clarity while listening to his words in his arms, her lips gently curling up.
“I heard that in this time and space, witches are sunk in ponds and burned by fire.”
“Who dares!” Feng Qingbai embraced the woman tighter. His eyes turned pitch dark like the bottom of the abyss, exuding a morbid chilly air. “Whoever dares to touch you, I will decimate his clan! If Gods block, I’ll kill the Gods; if Buddhas block, I’ll kill the Buddhas!”
“Feng Qingbai…”
All lingering sounds disappeared into the man’s fervently searching lips.
This time his kiss was extremely gentle, hiding everything behind him with great care.
As if to feel her real presence, he tasted her little by little, over and over again.
She just said – I heard that in this time and space.
In that instant, his whole heart hung violently in the mid-air, unable to touch the ground.
He did not care what time and space, regardless if it were a dream, no matter where she came from, and no matter what incredible secret she was carrying!
As long as she was her, as long as she was his Shengsheng, he did not care about anything!
The rich fragrance of medicine filled the room.
Because no one was watching the furnace beside them, the furnace fire flickered a few times before it went out.
The medicine in this furnace was ruined again.
And so, the man kissed the girl until she was breathless. When she finally caught her breath, she glanced at the wasted pills she was refining and looked speechlessly at the sky.
If it were not for her space, and she had no shortage of medicinal materials, she would never let this man step into her room again in the future.
Every time she refined a pill, he could always make something happen and ruin her plans all in a hideous mess as long as he was around.
“I won’t drive you out this time. I’m going to rest, so leave by yourself.” The girl packed up the pills in the furnace, turned around and glared at the man who was leaning on the side and refusing to leave.
Feng Qingbai fell silent for a moment and shook his head. “I’m not in a good mood today. I’m not going.”
“Who mentioned keeping distance between men and women to Xiao Feng in the daytime?” Did this differ from person to person? She was not married to him yet.
Liu Yusheng ignored the man, lifted the blanket and went to bed. “Go out and close the door for me.”
The shock of the day was too much, and she had little energy to toss about.
Who would have thought that the man would immediately follow, sit down and take off his shoes?
“Feng Qingbai!” Did he really think she wouldn’t kick him out?
“I am not the same as Feng Mohan. There’s no need to guard against me.” After putting his shoes away, the man went on the bed and lay next to her.
Liu Yusheng said angrily, “How is it different? Aren’t you a man?!”
After a brief silence, Feng Qingbai raised his eyes, “Shengsheng, are you sure you want to discuss this with me in bed?”
As soon as he said that, something in the air seemed to change flavor immediately.
“…” Liu Yusheng was downright abashed.
She pulled the quilt up and covered her burning cheeks.
Her mouth moved faster than her brain. She shouldn’t have retorted like that!
Once the man caught her, the toss would be endless.
She remembered that the last time he was in her bed was three days ago.
Now her mind could still conjure up the wind chimes of that stormy day.
“Go to sleep, Shengsheng. I’m also tired today,” he took her into his arms with the blanket. “I won’t disturb you while you’re asleep.”
Liu Yusheng squirmed under the blanket quite comfortably, blinking at him, “Can’t you go to your room and sleep?”
She did not believe what he said.
The man lowered his eyes and met her gaze. “If you look at me again, I will take it as an invitation.”
“…” This bastard, he just knew how to scare her!
Liu Yusheng quickly closed her eyes, not daring to open them again.
She was afraid that once she opened her eyes, he would say that she was looking at him.
Soon, the sound of the woman’s calm breathing came from Feng Qingbai’s arms. Only then did he gaze on the girl’s face again.
He concentrated meticulously on her eyebrows but could not get enough of them.
In the end, he lowered his head and gently stamped a kiss on her brow.
He knew his behavior was smack of a scoundrel, flat-out contrary to etiquette, and damaging for her reputation.
Only she would indulge him so much.
But today, he really didn’t want to leave.
Only by looking at her and holding her could he relieve the uneasiness and emptiness in his heart.
He must be sure that she really existed in this time and space.
A living, breathing person.
“Shengsheng…” I’m not afraid of anything, but of losing you.
When you told me your dream, I was also afraid. I was terribly afraid that you being by my side was just a dream.
He attached his forehead to the girl’s, letting their breath mingle. Feng Qingbai closed his eyes, and scene after scene during his childhood flashed back.
It was all about Shengsheng.
Shengsheng who could memorize words very quickly; Shengsheng who responded speedily; Shengsheng who had a lot of tricky ideas; Shengsheng who made the family worry-free about basic necessities at the age of three.
Intelligent and kind Shengsheng; sensible and filial Shengsheng; Shengsheng who warmed the hearts of people with every move.
Whenever she was exposed, she always used him as a shield.
And in order to find him, Shengsheng persisted year after year and refused to give up.
He had long known how unusual she was.
But no matter who she was, she was the ultimate beauty in his eyes.
After a long time, the man reluctantly let go of the girl, got out of bed and left her boudoir.
Once he was back at Yuqing Courtyard, he stood in the dark room and raised his eyes out the window into the endless blackness.
“Go and investigate everything that happened in the Liu family. From their ancestors to their fortune and to the present. Find out every single detail for me!”
“Understood!”
Those people who hurt Shengsheng, even if they only existed in her “dream world”, still made him angry.
That anger was naturally grafted onto the current Liu family.
Since Shengsheng was so concerned about this Liu family, then he would investigate, investigate all the way to the bottom. But if they dared to make any moves against Shengsheng, he would clean them up one by one, all of them!
Liu Yusheng didn’t know if it was because of the man’s presence by her side, but even if her mind was staggeringly shaken, she still slept sweetly that night.
When she got up, she realized that there was no trace of the man beside her.
Even in the air, there was no smell of his scent.
He must have left quietly when she was asleep in the middle of the night.
Bastard.
Liu Yusheng castigated deep inside, but her lips arched sweetly.
She thought he would really stay in her room till dawn.
The next day, even if the servants in the house didn’t dare to spread the word outside, they would still gossip about it inside.
Her elder brother was also in the royal residence. Once he caught wind of anything, it was ultimately bad.
When she opened the door, she found Fu Yuzheng standing in front of her room, followed by a maid carrying a hot water basin.
She should be a newcomer brought from the manor.
“Miss Fu, you haven’t been waiting here for a long time, have you?” Liu Yuxing asked, the corners of her lips twitching.
Otherwise, how could it be so opportune that she opened the door of her room and the other party happened to be there.
Fu Yuzheng smiled, “Not long. Since you are up, go and wash up first. The King has gone to court early in the morning, and he specifically said that there is no need to wait for him to have breakfast. He will come back after court.”
Liu Yusheng’s ears immediately heated up. Why did this kind of instruction sound like a husband and wife’s daily routine?
