“I’ll kill the Sun Family.” Tong Sang repeated, “Once she’s dead, you won’t have to worry anymore.”
Qiao Xiaomai looked into his pitch-ck eyes with her own wide open, realizing that he was serious. The corners of her eyes became hotter.
An indescribable feeling was surging in her chest, rapidly spreading throughout her body.
She sniffed, her voice hoarse, “You better tend to my wound first.”
Damn it, she bled too much. She felt dizzy from the shock.
Upon hearing her words, Tong Sang leaned down to resume his task.
As the water washed over the wound, Qiao Xiaomai took a shallow breath.
It hurt, so bloody much it hurt.
She subconsciously grasped the bedboard tightly.
“Does it hurt?” Seeing her in this state, Tong Sang wished he could take the pain for her.
“With you around, it’s just a scratch.” Qiao Xiaomai looked at him, his face full of concern, and she managed to squeeze out a smile.
Upon hearing her words, Tong Sang’s lips became tighter.
“With you around.”
These three words sounded like stonesnding heavily on him.
He took a deep breath, put down the bowl of water, then leaned down to lick the gruesome wound with his tongue.
The warmth and softness of his tongue was morefortable than the cool touch of the spring water. Qiao Xiaomai gripped the wooden board tightly and closed her eyes.
Two clear tears slipped from the corners of her eyes, tracing down her temples.
She always had four words for time-traveling: resistance, depression.
ustomed to the modern world, there were too many things she wasn’t used to in this broken ce.
But she couldn’t have imagined that in this rotten ce, she’d meet a handsome youth like Tong Sang.
She was stubborn, but he was equally as stubborn.
Because of her, he’d revealed his skills and picked a fight with Bai Zhi, causing him to be noticed by Yang Ye.
Now, he’d even faced off with General Cen Hong.
If she was crazy, he – a sneaky, secretive man – was even crazier to follow her lead.
She had Qiao Changshun and Qiao Dami to worry about, and he had a whole family to care for.
Yet, for her, he’s exposed himself like this.
And now he’s even nning to kill for her.
She lifted her right hand, wiping away the tears from the corner of her eyes, then looked at him.
He was attentively tending to her wound, his expression gentle, movements cautious, and a distinct vein of tenderness was present.
Gazing at his handsome face so close to hers, the heat surged in her chest again.
A tingling sensation spread throughout her body again, as if something flowed into her body through the wound.
She closed her eyes again, silently savoring theforting feeling.
After a while, Tong Sang finally looked up.
As the wound was sorge, he was worried that it wouldn’t heal, and thus he had spent a long time tending to it.
“How does it feel now?” He looked at Qiao Xiaomai, his handsome face noticeably pale.
His heart was also beating rapidly. As he felt a difort in his chest, he lifted his hand to rub it.
“Much better.”
Qiao Xiaomai saw his pale face and was puzzled. Could her body really be draining his energy like a subus?
She nced at the bloodstains on the corner of his mouth, licked her own lips, then retrieved a cup of spiritual spring water.
The cup she used was the one she usually drank from.
“Have a drink.”
The only useful thing she had was probably the spring water.
Tong Sang took the cup, an object obviously not belonging to this world, with a calm expression.
The sweetness of the water filled his body as it smoothed down his throat, alleviating his difort in his chest.
The taste of blood in his mouth also significantly faded.
He finished the whole cup in one go, then handed the cup back to Qiao Xiaomai.
“Do you want more?” Qiao Xiaomai asked. @@novelbin@@
“Yes.”
As his words fell, Qiao Xiaomai touched the cup, and the initially empty cup was instantly filled with clear water.
Without asking any questions, he brought the cup to his lips and finished it in one breath..
