Chapter 133: Heroine, Wait!

The dim yellow light filled the plain room.

The man and woman were sitting side by side on the edge of the bed. The man applied medicine to his wounds and whispered random stories.

The woman stared fixedly at the man’s handsome side profile, her eyes complicated. Occasionally, her lips would move, but she hesitated to speak.

After an unknown period of time, Luo Ning saw the bruises on his arms and couldn’t help gently touching them with her fingers.

Ye Jingtang paused and turned around. “Heroine Luo?”

Luo Ning sobered up a little. She blinked, retracted her hand, and regained her aloof expression. “Your foster father has such expectations for you, so you have to live well. There’s something wrong with your body today, so you shouldn’t have rashly gone. This medicine is really overbearing. 1 can stabilize my mind, but a little thief like you definitely won’t be able to withstand it. I’ve known you for a long time, and you’ve taken advantage of me so many times…”

Ye Jingtang raised his hand slightly with a serious expression. “Heroine Luo, I can withstand it!”

“?!”

Luo Ning closed her legs and arched her legs slightly under her skirt. She subconsciously rubbed the floor and gritted her teeth. “What if your body suffocates? Madam Wang said that your yang qi is too strong and your body needs to recuperate…”

Ye Jingtang was righteous and said seriously, “Heroine Luo, I am young and energetic, and you’re too beautiful. When I first saw you, I really couldn’t control myself. But when you cried grievingly that time and ignored me for an entire day, 1 understood your personality.

“I, Ye Jingtang, am an indomitable man. How can 1 let a woman who doesn’t like me make such a huge sacrifice to help me recuperate? This isn’t worthy of the word ‘chivalry’. How can I establish myself in Jianghu in the future…”

???

Luo Ning bit her lower lip lightly, her tears about to come out. She couldn’t look at the righteous and heroic little thief, so she looked away and said in a low voice, “Little thief, is there something wrong with your brain? As the wife of the cult master of the Pacifying Heaven Cult, I was molested by you and didn’t punish you. When I saw that you had provoked the Zhou family, I rushed hundreds of miles to give you a protective charm. I even followed you to the capital to help you do laundry and cook…”

Ye Jingtang blinked and tilted his head to look at Luo Ning’s face. “Isn’t this so that I will help Yunli save Qiu Tianhe?”

Luo Ning gritted her teeth and looked at the man’s teasing gaze. Her expression was still aloof, but tears gradually appeared in her crystal clear peach blossom eyes. “That’s… that’s right. What else do you think it is?”

Drip­

per tone was too heavy, causing a tear to roll out of her eye socket, slide down her fair face, and drip onto the back of Ye Jingtang’s hand.

Luo Ning raised her sleeve and wiped the corners of her eyes. She bit her lower lip and pretended to be angry as she glared at Ye Jingtang. “I can withstand it. I’m just afraid that you’ll hurt your body. Since you’re trying to be brave, why should 1 go out of my way to help you?”

The room was silent, leaving only the man and woman staring at each other.

Ye Jingtang smiled, raised his hands, pressed Luo Ning’s shoulders, and pushed her down.

Luo Ning’s eyelashes trembled, and her eyes were a little flustered. She forced herself to say, “What are you doing? I can bear it… Are you going to use force?”

Ye Jingtang nodded. He pressed Luo Ning onto the bed, lowered his head, and looked at her cold and charming face. “Yes, I’m going to use force. My willpower isn’t as strong as yours, Heroine Luo. I have no choice. When you wake up tomorrow, you’re not allowed to hit me, okay?”

Luo Ning’s entire body was trembling slightly, and her eyes were full of shame and anger like a humiliated heroine. But she subconsciously held the man’s ribs, and her breathing was unstable. “I knew you were making excuses. But Madam Wang said that your body is not good and needs recuperation… 1’11 forgive you this time, but this is the last time. You’re not allowed to remember this in the future…”

?

Ye Jingtang blinked, sat up, and said righteously, “I feel that I can still bear it…”

?!

Luo Ning felt that she wasn’t sober, but it was very difficult to endure. She was lying down and didn’t want to get up. When she saw that this little thief knew her thoughts but still deliberately kept her hanging, her anger rose.

Luo Ning sat up and pressed Ye Jingtang onto the pillow. Her eyes were cold, as if she was murdering her husband. “How can 1 not see what’s going on with you? I know that your body can’t withstand it, so how can I, Luo Ning, disregard the overall situation and fight with you to see who has better willpower? Behave yourself…”

“Huh? Heroine, wait! Calm down! I can really withstand it…”

“You can’t!”

“Woo—”

Ye Jingtang fell onto the pillow. Luo Ning, who was as light as a willow, grabbed his collar and blocked his mouth from speaking.

Ye Jingtang raised his hand to support Heroine Luo’s shoulders, but his wrists were grabbed and pressed against the pillow.

Boom-

I’m being pinned down by Sister Little Watermelons!

Ye Jingtang was about to explode from holding it in. At this moment, he couldn’t pretend anymore. He lay down obediently and allowed Heroine Luo to bully him.

Even so, Luo Ning still maintained a plaintive expression that said, ‘You can get my body, but you can’t get my heart’. Tears kept rolling down the corners of her eyes, as if she was forced to sacrifice her life for righteousness.

In the dimly lit room, there were no more words.

Luo Ning hugged Ye Jingtang. After they kissed for a long time, her collar loosened a little and slowly opened.

Ye Jingtang knew that Luo Ning didn’t know anything and only had experience kissing. He immediately pulled his hands out, hugged Luo Ning, and patted her shoulders.

Luo Ning closed her eyes and didn’t say anything. She just moved her face away and buried it in the pillow beside Ye Jingtang’s face, not moving anymore.

Ye Jingtang caressed her warm back and whispered into her ear, “I didn’t lie to you, did I? Do you feel uncomfortable?”

“Yes.” A muffled sound came from the pillow.

“I could suppress it for so long and still advised you not to eat it. Aren’t I really good to you, Heroine Luo?”

The beauty’s ears flushed red, but she didn’t respond.

Ye Jingtang tapped her ear lightly. “I know that you like me, so you’ve been following me—”

“Don’t flatter yourself.”

?!

Ye Jingtang let go of her shoulders and said solemnly, “1 feel that 1 can still resist for a few more hours… Hiss… Alright, alright. I can’t hold on. My willpower isn’t as good as yours. Don’t bite my shoulder…”

Luo Ning’s face flushed red, but she maintained the appearance of being forced and bullied. She raised her watery eyes and threatened, “If you continue talking nonsense, I won’t help you!”

“Okay.” Ye Jingtang hugged her waist obediently and said gently, “Heroine Luo, tell me that you like me and make me happy.”

Luo Ning buried her head in the pillow and muttered after a long time, “You like me.”

“…?” Ye Jingtang blinked and felt that the meaning was about right. He nodded and said, “Wife, you like me too.”

Luo Ning’s shoulders trembled slightly. Perhaps she couldn’t withstand this ‘wife’ that touched her heart, she corrected in a muffled voice, “Call me elder sister.”

“Alright, Elder Sister likes me too… From now on, you will always be my Elder Sister Ning’er, and 1 will always be your shameless little thief…”

Rustle, rustle-

The dimly lit room fell silent.

Unknowingly, a blue dress robe slid down silently and fell beside two pairs of boots, one white and one black. The white ones were embroidered with bamboo leaves, and the black ones were outlined with cloud patterns.

“Shh! Don’t make a sound. Yunli is next door…”

“I knocked Yunli out…”

“Uh?!”

“You said people should have a backup plan. I did it just in case. I didn’t do it to prepare in advance…”

“Okay…”

“Did you really write that poem with ‘Overnight, Xiangjun’s hair turned gray’?”

“No, I copied it.”

“You?! I’ll fight you, you little thief…”

“If you have the ability, suffocate me to death… Woo—”

“H-have you done this to the princess before?”

“No, you are the first.”

“Why do you always bully me? I’ve read books, but there’s nothing like this in the books…”

“That’s because you haven’t read enough books. You haven’t even read such a famous poem…”

“Is that so?”

“Little thief.”

“Hmm?”

“You’re shameless…”

The moonlight outside the window was clear and quiet, and the light in front of the window flickered. Fine words came out and were blown away by the summer night breeze.

The old courtyard was as quiet and peaceful as usual, but it inexplicably felt a little more like ‘home’.

As the light was forcefully blown out, the world fell silent, leaving only the moonlight in the courtyard, the spring breeze in the room, and little Yunli sleeping soundly…
