Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Zhao Chuchu’s face turned red and her heart raced when she saw Xie Heng looking at her with so much affection.
“What’s the matter? Is there something on my face?”
“Yes.” “Then, can you help me remove it?”
“Alright.”
After saying it, Xie Heng bent down and kissed her on the cheek.
“Your cuteness makes my heart race.” Zhao Chuchu was speechless.
Xie Heng was, in fact, flirting with her!
She had just realized it when Xie Heng kissed her again on the other cheek.
“I cannot be biased,” he said.
Zhao Chuchu felt as though her face was about to bleed.
Frankly speaking, it wasn’t that she didn’t have any experience with flirting or flirtatious men. Even when the world was about to end, she had many pursuers. She had heard those words so often that she was already immune to them.
However, when they were uttered by Xie Heng, the meaning was completely different.
Her heart beat faster, and she liked it.
“Da Lang, did you often read books on romance back then?” “I didn’t. I could write better stuff than what has been published.”
“Then, where did you learn to say such things?”
“When I look at you, these words come out of my mouth naturally. I don’t need to think them up at all.”
“Why?”
“It is because this place is filled with you.”
Xie Heng grabbed Zhao Chuchu’s small hand and placed it on his chest.
Zhao Chuchu could feel his fast-beating heart rate.
“All my words come from here.”
Zhao Chuchu drew a deep breath. With a serious look, she said, “Da Lang, can you save some of these words for next time? I am afraid I will lose myself shortly.”
“Why?” asked Xie Heng as he broke into a smile.
“Because females are not the only ones who are attractive. Men can be attractive too!”
Xie Heng was speechless. He felt that Zhao Chuchu was uniquely outspoken. She was extremely cute.
“Then, I won’t say anymore,” said Xie Heng as he smiled and caressed her head.
“It’s getting late. Why don’t you rest first?”
“What about you?” “I will just watch you sleep.”
“No, let’s rest together.”
Zhao Chuchu generously invited him to join her.
Setting aside the fact that they were legally husband and wife, even based on the norms of couples from the future, this was absolutely common practice.
Zhao Chuchu would not twiddle over such matters.
It was actually a very natural thing if one thing led to another.
They were both adults. As long as both of them were happy, Zhao Chuchu did not care about rules and decorum.
Xie Heng’s face turned red as he said, “It’s alright. I’d better spend a night on the bench.”
“Just get on the bed when I tell you to. Why are you twiddling? I am fine with it.
Those who are not in the know would think that you are the maiden!”
“That’s not it. I have been traveling on the road day and night. My clothes are covered with dust, and I am too filthy to get on the bed.”
“How is that a problem? Wait a moment.”
Zhao Chuchu lived here. Yuan Hui did not allow the servants to come to this corner of the residence so as not to disturb her.
Zhao Chuchu had to leave the room to find a servant of the Yuan clan and get them to deliver hot water to her room.
Soon, the hot water was delivered.
Zhao Chuchu took out a pair of modern-day pajamas from her carry-on space and passed it to Xie Heng. She instructed, “You can wear this tonight.”
“Hmm,” replied Xie Heng. He did not resist.
Zhao Chuchu left the room to give Xie Heng some space.
Only when she was a distance away did Xie Heng undress and get into the bath.
For the past few days, he hadn’t had a nice warm bath or a good night’s sleep. He rushed over as soon as he could so that Zhao Chuchu did not have to wait for him for long.
Once he arrived in Guangqing Province, he had to find time to deal with matters that he had previously left unsettled. It was only by midnight that he had the time to see Zhao Chuchu.
Probably because Xie Heng had already met with her, he was completely relaxed. He leaned against the bath and fell asleep unintentionally.
After a while, since Zhao Chuchu did not hear any sound coming from the room, she focused her senses. She heard Xie Heng’s calm and steady breathing and guessed that he had fallen asleep from exhaustion.
Zhao Chuchu was afraid that the bath water would get too cold and Xie Heng would catch a cold. Hence, she walked up and knocked against the blinds. In a low voice, she asked, “Da Lang, have you fallen asleep?”
When Xie Heng heard her call him, he was immediately awakened.
“I just shut my eyes for a moment,” he said as he sat up straight and wiped his face.
“Then, wash up quickly. You can rest after you finish.”
“Alright.”
This time, Xie Heng did not dare to get too relaxed. He finished bathing as fast as possible, then he came out wearing pajamas.
Zhao Chuchu watched as Xie Heng approached her. There was a glint in her eyes.
Where did this beautiful man come from?
It was as though he had emerged straight from a painting.
Zhao Chuchu was momentarily stunned. Meanwhile, Xie Heng generously allowed her to ogle him. He even felt satisfied that he was able to attract her attention to such an extent.
She forced herself to suppress her forbidden thoughts and dragged Xie Heng to the bedside. Then, she took another absorbent towel and helped him wipe his hair dry.
Xie Heng enjoyed the moment as he was groomed by Zhao Chuchu.
He could not help but want to be greedy. He hoped that time would pass slower.
“Alright. Let’s sleep then,” said Zhao Chuchu after she finished. She got on the bed and slept on the inner side.
Xie Heng was faintly disappointed. However, he felt content that she would be right by his side.
“Hmm.”
Xie Heng joined her in the bed.
He lay there obediently, not daring to overstep his boundaries.
He was afraid that he would scare Zhao Chuchu.
Initially, Xie Heng believed that he would not be able to sleep. After all, his sweetheart was next to him.
However, just moments after he lay down, he passed out completely.
When Zhao Chuchu saw it, she gently turned over and rested her chin on her hand as she stared at Xie Heng’s peaceful, handsome sleeping face.
This was probably what a sleeping beauty looked like.
His facial features were perfect, both individually and as a whole.
The heavens had truly blessed this man.
He had been given looks as well as his intellect.
Zhao Chuchu also felt fortunate that she had met him.
However, she had to thank the original owner of this body of hers. Without the original owner, there would not be the current her.
The heavens had arranged everything just right up to this point. She hoped that the original owner of this body could also have a perfect new life with a family who spoiled her and a man that loved and treasured her, like Zhao Chuchu was enjoying now.
Xie Heng’s fatigue was contagious. Zhao Chuchu also fell asleep after looking at him for a while.
The next day, when Xie Heng woke up, he was greeted by a hairy head before him.
He lowered his head slightly. Unbeknownst to him, Zhao Chuchu had snuggled into his embrace. She had even found a comfortable position and was sleeping soundly.
Xie Heng originally wanted to get up, but he could not bear to wake her.
He remained in this position, not daring to move. He was afraid that he would disturb her sleep.
He had once dreamt of such a beautiful and warm morning. Now that it had become a reality, he would make it last as long as he could.
This feeling in his embrace was more fulfilling than possessing the whole world.
Xie Heng gently gazed at Zhao Chuchu. He felt that he could not get enough of her no matter how long he looked.
He had seen her face for a long time. However, he had never felt like this before. He wished that he could keep looking at her like this for all eternity.
Chuchu was his alone!
The sleeping Zhao Chuchu sensed his gaze on her.
After living so long in a post-apocalyptic world, Zhao Chuchu’s senses were exceptionally sharp. She immediately opened her eyes and locked gazes with a pair of eyes as deep as the sea. They were filled with endless tenderness.
Zhao Chuchu was instantly drowned in his eyes and could not pull herself out of them until Xie Heng whispered in her ear, asking, “Did I wake you up?
“No, you didn’t,” replied Zhao Chuchu. She suddenly realized what position she was in. Her face turned red uncontrollably. She then flipped over, attempting to escape Xie Heng’s embrace.
Xie Heng suddenly tightened his embrace. He asked, “Since you are already here, can you please stay?”
These words were so flirtatious that they made Zhao Chuchu’s heart race to its max.. She said, “We shouldn’t do this so early, right?”
