The Marriage of an Esteemed Supreme Healer, a Noble Ruler Webnovel - Chapter 2570
2570 Side Story 74: Learn A Little
The night breeze was slightly cold, and the moonlight was like water.
The surroundings fell silent, but every word and sentence crashed into his ears and caused his mind to whir.
There seemed to be something crazily surging in his chest as it rapidly spread to his limbs.
He stood there upright with a distinguished aura.
The surrounding coldness was long destroyed by the nameless heat and fire.
He lowered his head and stared at her for a long time, but Tuan Zi seemed to feel increasingly embarrassed by his gaze.
His gaze was clearly deep and mysterious, yet his eyes were burning like they could scorch someone.
Even if he did not speak, his suppression was still extremely strong and easily covered her.
Silent and quiet yet hot and tense.
Tuan Zi suddenly felt more awake. What am I doing? What did I say?! Borrow… to try?!
Tuan Zi’s face flushed, and it burned!
Before Zi Chen came back, she had been waiting here for some time. Many matters rushed through her mind.
Sister Xiao Ba is right. I’ve already made it so obvious, but Zi Chen still acts the same as before in all areas. Other than him not having any more contact with Miao Xuanxuan, there aren’t many changes.
He distanced himself from others, but he doesn’t seem to be closer to me. How can this be? If he still treats me as a child, won’t all my efforts be wasted?
To break such a relationship, ordinary methods won’t work. Whatever I’ve done is mostly the same as what he did before. Then, what are some things we didn’t do previously? What is unique that other relationships can’t do?
With a twist of fate, she recalled the scene she saw in the narrow and dark alley.
Even though she was confused at that time, she could still faintly feel that the strange atmosphere that surrounded two people and others could not enter.
She was rather envious of it. Hence, out of impulse, she said such words to him.
Zi Chen didn’t respond for a long time, which finally allowed her rationality to slowly return.
She curled her fingers, and her entire person was overwhelmed with embarrassment. She wanted to curl up like a boiled prawn.
Zi Chen looked at her and could tell that she was afraid.
His lips curled up slightly. I still thought that the girl was capable, yet… she is only strong on the outside.
Tuan Zi could not stay any longer. Such a strange atmosphere was making her go crazy!
She felt slight regret, but she was also confused and helpless.
Clearly, she had also asked Zi Chen similar questions that day. But now that she talked about it again, she had completely different feelings.
At that time, she asked it relaxingly, and Zi Chen also answered casually.
But now… Her heart was about to jump out, and her surrounding blood seemed to circulate faster. Her entire person seemed to be burning on some fire, and she didn’t know where to put her hands and legs.
Finally, as if she couldn’t take it, she suddenly stood up! “I-if you don’t want to, take it as if I didn’t ask!”
She felt humiliated and scrambled to salvage her dignity. “I-I was just a little curious! A-anyway, I’ll know it in the future—”
When Tuan Zi said such words, she did not really think. She just instinctively felt that no matter if it were Rong Xiu and A’Yue, or Sister Xiao Ba and Brother Yan Qing, they were all together with the people they liked.
She felt that she could definitely do it too, and it was just a matter of time. She could not do it today, but she could do it in the future.
Anyway, Zi Chen was still very nice to her. At the very least, from his performance the past two days, her status was still temporarily at the top.
One benefited from a convenient location. If she fought harder, there might be hope.
Actually, she also panicked from her impulsive actions.
Then, she lowered her head and wanted to run outside, but she did not see the man’s suddenly darkened face.
What does this mean? I didn’t even say anything, yet she decided herself that I refuse. She… also said that she will know in the future? How will she know? Who is she going to find if she goes out now?
He didn’t forget that there were a few kids who had special intentions toward her in the Fantasy Divine Palace.
No, there were more than a few.
Previously, she did not know. But now that she finally had some knowledge in this aspect, how could those people sit still?
He moved, and Tuan Zi went straight into his arms.
Her sharp nose hit against the firm and broad chest. It hurt, and it made tears well up in her eyes.
She moved half a step back and looked at him begrudgingly. However, her eyes were wet and dazed.
She seemed a little fierce but had no authority at all. Instead, she seemed more aggrieved. “…Why did you stop me!?”
However, Zi Chen seemed to sigh and ask, “You really want to know?”
Tuan Zi was dazed before she reacted to his sentence.
Her overwhelming emotions attacked her, and her heart became sour and soft. Even she could not pinpoint where such feelings came from, and what they meant.
Originally, she wanted to deny it. However, when her gaze landed on the lips right before hers, she became hesitant. Since I’ve already asked… If I miss it today, when do I have to wait until? What if I don’t have the guts then…
After a while, she lightly coughed and finally mustered her remaining courage, nodding affirmatively.
Zi Chen reached out and gently patted her head, his eyes containing hints of helplessness and love. “Only once.”
He really didn’t know if he could control himself, so this was the limit.
Tuan Zi knitted her brows slightly.
It wasn’t that she felt that the man was petty, but… what was with his gaze? Why did it seem like he was watching a child pull a prank?
She was already especially sensitive about it. Now that she thought of it, her shyness and hesitance were replaced with indignance.
She clenched her teeth, grabbed the clothes before his chest, and went on her toes. Then, she quickly pecked his lips.
Like a dragonfly touching the water, just one touch.
Soft, cold.
These were the first thoughts in her mind. Following this, she heard her heart crazily beating.
She retracted her hand in a daze and instinctively pressed down on her heart. Never… It seems to have never beaten so quickly before…
Perhaps because this action was too daring and overboard, or his temperature was too high and aura too strong… Or perhaps she was too nervous and didn’t have any other thoughts at this moment.
Everything happened too quickly and ended too early. She seemed to have hurriedly swallowed a berry, but because she didn’t chew, she did not taste anything.
“D-done…” she stammered and seemed to be dizzy, “T-there doesn’t seem to be any feeling…”
Hearing this, Zi Chen finally became clear.
He looked at her and suddenly laughed. “Is that so?”
Tuan Zi unknowingly felt uneasy and acknowledged him in a daze.
Zi Chen suddenly went forward, held her waist, and pressed her into his arms.
The hand that was originally patting her head changed position strangely, and he held the back of her nape.
With this intimate and restrictive movement, he finally expressed the only initiative he had recently taken as he lowered his head and kissed her.
Tuan Zi realized something and suddenly widened her eyes. “Didn’t you say just once—”
He stopped centimeters before her as his defined and forceful hand lightly pushed into her hair. His voice was low, with a hint of a smile. “That’s not counted. Learn this.”
Before he finished his sentence, he sealed her mouth with a kiss and swallowed all the girl’s curiosities and questions, patiently giving her the answer.
