424 Never leave

r inside. The key points probably won't let us hear." I scoffed.My brother shrugged: "If Jiang Qiyun doesn't want to talk, I guess you won't be able to get anything out of him..."As I was speaking, th...When Jiang Qiyun spoke, a slightly cool breath brushed past my earlobes, making me shiver slightly.

"Really going to fight with me" His clear voice carried a hint of displeasure.

"I'm not kidding." I retorted, my voice dripping with indignation.

"Mu Xiaoqiao, if I suspected you were having an affair with another man, would you be happy" he asked, his brow slightly furrowed.

I…

I turned to face him: "But I don't, my life is only nineteen years old so far. From the moment I was born, you've been watching me. You know everything about me, it's all in your grasp..."

But you're different. I know nothing about your past. Two thousand years is a long time, how would I know if you've ever loved someone I... hearing you give that ghost princess so many privileges, and another few hundred year pact... I can't help but overthink things...

I lowered my head, so close that I could only see his chest.

He whispered at the top of my head, "Didn't I tell you to learn to look at things with a different perspective"

“I'm not that accomplished!” I blurted out, my nose starting to sting.

"This doesn't require cultivation." He pinched my chin, with a bit of force: "You're just being like a little girl, thinking too much."

"I'm not overthinking! She's just thinking about you!"

"What does that have to do with me" he sneered, "One can be enlightened for a moment, but not for a lifetime. If she falls into delusion and tramples on the compassion of the divine, then that is her own doing."

"Yes yes yes yes!"

I'm so frustrated I'm about to cry, and he's still calmly talking about the grand principles of celestial beings.

"Compassion for everyone! Compassion, compassion... Compassion made me cry, you still think I'm making a fuss, can you please explain to me properly" I sniffed: "It's that same spiel about loving all beings again—"

"God loves the world, but I only love you."

"Mu Xia Qiao, what are you worried about What difference does it make that she's a few hundred year old ghost Who can compare to you"

"I..."

"What is this" he leaned against the door, trapping me with nowhere to retreat. "You repeatedly refuse to believe what I've said, and you want explanations now"

"I—"

"Hmm" he furrowed his brow.

"...I don't apologize, I did nothing wrong. You didn't explain to me, and I couldn't help but overthink things. That's how misunderstandings happen."

"What do you want me to do then"

"If I'm wrong, just tell me where I went wrong. I believe everything you say. You even said yourself that I'm easy to persuade... can't we just try a little persuasion" I rubbed my tears against his chest.

He calmed down a little, his tense body relaxed, he reached out to hug me and let out a soft sigh: “Good, good…”

I bit my lip, burying my face in his chest. There was a faint chill to his scent, a subtle aroma that lingered around my nose.

He always appears at night, a domineering presence that I can't resist, invading my nights. The smallest touch sends me back to those moments of passionate desire, clinging together desperately.

Every time he tidied up, what he left in my body also carried a strange and alluring scent that made me blush with shame.

"Qi Yun... I don't fight, and I don't know how to talk smoothly..."

What would you like to hear

"Could you repeat what you just said, please" I looked up at him.

"What did you say" he asked, his brow furrowed slightly.

This guy, is he really clueless about my thoughts, or is he purposely trying to wear me down

He also said I have a hook in my bones. I think it's him who's the annoying little flirt! He drives me crazy.

"Never mind."

If you don't want to say it, then don't. We'll probably have another chance to hear it later.

I pushed his arm away, my stomach growled...My anger had subsided, the fire in me was gone, and now I felt a pang of hunger gnawing at my insides.

He suddenly fished me from behind, tightly hugging my waist and biting my ear, he said: "Mu Xia Qiao... Hearing you say 'want' how come it's so difficult"

What

He had me pinned against the door, his head bowed as he leaned in for a kiss, a hint of resentment in his touch.

"God loves the world, but I only love you! My little wife, is it so hard to say what you want Just act a little cute, and you'll get anything you want. You silly thing..."

He bit my lip hard.

I knew he knew everything! He just wanted to see me like this, so embarrassed!

What a bad taste!

He looks like a cold and aloof celestial being with icy compassion, but who knows how wicked he is in private!

I stubbornly went up to him, but I ran into his teeth, and it hurt so badly that my eyes welled up with tears.

He paused for a moment, slightly parting his lips to see if I had grazed them.

I covered my mouth and mumbled, "... I want your blood!"

"Humph…" He let out a cold snort, a devilish curve playing on his lips. His icy, wet tongue lightly flicked out, teasing the edge of my lips—

"Want to take it yourself, bite it open and you'll have it... As much as you want, enough to fill you up..."

I used to think his voice was like the sound of celestial music, but now I realize it's a curse that will haunt me forever.

I'm still a mortal body of yin and yang, and even spells can't solve the problem of eating.

My stomach was growling, and he loosened his grip on me, frowning and asking, "Haven't you eaten well"

"I'm so angry I can't even eat... I'm going out to find something to eat nearby. There's only noodles at home..."

I walked to the restroom and wiped my face. The person in the mirror had lips that were so red from being ravaged, I couldn't help but blush just looking at them.

When I came out again, Jiang Qiyun was gone.

What's he doing Is something urgent Then I'll just go out and eat by myself.

I hesitated to pick up my phone, wondering if I should ask my brother to come with me.

When I was going downstairs, I found my brother was getting ready to go out.

"Xiao Qiao, I was just about to ask if you wanted to go out." My brother lifted his phone and said, "Qin says there's a fireworks show, and she asked if we wanted to go."

I immediately shook my head, no way, no how. Am I crazy After finally getting a date with both of us, why would I go as a third wheel

"Aren't you really going" My brother frowned. "It's just nearby, there's a temple fair on the folk customs street, we can grab some late-night snacks and take a stroll."

I still shook my head: "I'll just go out and get some food. Won't disturb your date."

My brother smiled knowingly: “Oh~ you’re back on good terms with your husband Then I won’t worry about you. Today, everyone looks like a light bulb.”

What's today's date

I quickly turned my head to look at the old calendar.

August 28th, the seventh day of the seventh lunar month.

My brother swung his keys and went to get in the car. When he opened the back door, he was stunned and shouted into the house, "Xiao Qiao, someone's looking for you!"

His voice laughs so well!

I hurried to the back door, and Jiang Qiyun leaned there, saying with a hint of impatience, "Aren't you going out Why are you so slow"

This...cause I'm the least spendthrift in the family.My brother has an allowance every month, which is enough for him to use. He's also good at making money, so my dad doesn't worry about family finances. My...
