The room was bathed in the soft moonlight. Liang Shi, holding Xu Qingzhu, couldn't turn on the light, so he gently placed her on the bed before turning on the bedside lamp.
The bedside lamp was also turned down to its lowest setting, giving the room a dreamy, romantic feel.
Once on the soft bed, Xu Qingzhu immediately curled up, as if only in this way could she feel safe.
Liang Shi had lost all her outer clothes, leaving only her inner tank top and bra.
Xu Qingzhu is better than her.
Fearing that Xu Qingzhu would catch a cold, Liang Shi did nothing.
But Xu Qingzhu was restless in her arms, as if punishing her for what she had said at the door, tormenting her to no avail.
She still had the wound from Chen Liuying's stab on her collarbone, which was covered with gauze. She couldn't feel the pain from there, but the mark was still there.
Including the ones on her arms.
So carrying Xu Qingzhu back to the bedroom wasn't difficult at all.
Her clothes were scattered all over the floor.
Xu Qingzhu was lying on the bed, sobbing.
Liang Shi turned her body around and stood by the bed, bending over to look at her.
The person lying on the bed had hair like seaweed, and a slender body that wasn't bony; she was still curvy where she should be and slender where she should be. Her eyes were almost closed, yet tears kept streaming down her face.
Liang used his last remaining rationality to think that Omega's heat cycle was really unfriendly.
It's too damaging to an Omega's body.
Before she could finish her thoughts, Xu Qingzhu said in a tearful voice, "Sister~ find me someone else...
Liang Shi: "?"
She was dazed. "What did you say?"
Xu Qingzhu bit her lower lip, trying her best to suppress her pitiful sobs.
But the more you try to cover it up, the more obvious it becomes.
It sounds both pitiful and alluring.
Liang Shi stared at her reddened eyes, his fingertips landing on her elegant jawline, applying a punishing pressure, rubbing it until it turned even redder.
Xu Qingzhu sounded extremely aggrieved as soon as she spoke, "If you... can't do it... then find... someone else."
Xu Qingzhu cried and said, "Waaah, I'm so sad..."
Liang Shi gritted his teeth in anger and slapped her waist hard. "Who do you want to find?"
Xu Qingzhu felt the pain, and tears immediately fell like beads from a broken string. She cursed her in a sobbing voice, "You bad girl."
"You're the bad guy." Liang Shi breathed into her ear and questioned, "Who are you looking for?"
“Anyone will do.” Xu Qingzhu said sullenly, “Waaah~ If she’s okay, then she’s okay.”
That's a very...
Liang Shi was both amused and exasperated.
How could I not tell that she was using reverse psychology?
Liang Shi smiled helplessly, his nose touching hers, and he gently and tenderly nuzzled her.
A thin layer of sweat clung to the tip of his nose. Liang Shi licked his lips and said softly, "Then I'll do it."
Liang Shi said, "As long as you don't regret it."
Her long hair hung down to one side like an impenetrable curtain, and under the light of the bedside lamp, it looked like a faded orange-pink, with soft strands.
Liang Shi spoke in a low voice, gently coaxing, "Sweetheart, don't cry."
Xu Qingzhu's tears were kissed away, but they continued to flow.
Liang Shi bit her lip, "It will break my heart."
Xu Qingzhu shut her up completely, only managing to sob out, "Sister~ mark me."
She said, "I don't mind."
During a break in the kiss, Xu Qingzhu took a breath and said, "I don't regret it."
Liang Shi: "..."
Only now did she realize that her constant concessions back then seemed to have caused Xu Qingzhu some psychological harm.
Given Xu Qingzhu's intelligence, she probably already knew that she was the person who had gone through the kidnapping case with her when they were children.
Therefore, Xu Qingzhu constantly made concessions in their relationship.
The usually aloof and proud princess would weave a tender web of love for her, allowing her to indulge in it without worry.
The princess did not take a sword, but instead held up a protective umbrella for her.
What merits does she possess?
Liang Shi felt extremely guilty.
Xu Qingzhu then added, "Well... you don't need to take responsibility."
Liang Shi sighed, closed his eyes, and hurried to this grand feast.
When she was deeply in love, she said, "I will take responsibility."
Liang Shi gently bit Xu Qingzhu's gland and whispered, "Sweetie, don't cry."
Xu Qingzhu's tears flowed even more freely.
There's a tendency for them to be fine without comfort, but burst into tears as soon as they are comforted.
Like a child who can't get candy.
Liang Shi's throat tightened, and he breathed into her ear, saying in a hoarse voice, "Baby."
Chapter 135
Moonlight streamed through the windowpane, casting a hazy glow on the dolls on the bay window.
Only a dim bedside lamp was lit in the room.
Xu Qingzhu's voice was soft and sobbing, like a homeless cat in the snowy night.
A wind picked up outside, blowing up fine snowflakes. The dry, unburdened branches swayed in the wind, shaking off the snow that had covered them.
The moment the snow fell, it had a beautiful quality, like "the Milky Way falling from the ninth heaven," falling gently and gracefully, tinged with the silvery glow of the moonlight.
Liang Shi's hair was stained with Xu Qingzhu's sweat, and the room was filled with the strong, lingering scent of strawberry liqueur, mixed with the fragrance of her Baihao Yinzhen tea.
For Liang Shi, the sweet strawberry flavor was much stronger than the tea flavor.
For Xu Qingzhu, however, the aroma of Baihao Yinzhen tea was more intense than her own strawberry flavor.
It was clearly a faint, almost ascetic tea fragrance, yet it still managed to stir every cell in her body after she smelled it.
Xu Qingzhu's tears soaked her pillow.
Outside, someone's cat let out a sharp cry, as if its tail had been stepped on.
The sounds of Xu Qingzhu in the room created a harmonious symphony.
The night grew deeper.
//
Xu Qingzhu was covered in sweat, as if she had been washed, and the sheets were sticky.
Liang Shi carried Xu Qingzhu to take a bath.
The bathroom here is small and has no bathtub, only a shower. Xu Qingzhu could barely stand, and when she entered the bathroom, her legs went weak and she almost slipped and fell.
She casually threw on a shirt by Liang Shi, and there was still a height difference between the two.
But it wasn't that much different.
Liang Shi's oversized shirt looked a bit short on Xu Qingzhu, exposing her two long legs, making it seem like she was wearing an outfit where the lower half of her body disappeared.
Xu Qingzhu buttoned her shirt casually, sometimes with one button overlapping the other.
The top two necklines are asymmetrical, as are the bottom ones.
There's nothing wrong with the top, just a few hickeys.
She has a lot of marks on her legs.
Liang Shi was already considered gentle, but he always asked a lot of questions before doing anything, afraid that Xu Qingzhu would feel uncomfortable or that she would cry.
While trying to coax her, Xu Qingzhu cried even harder.
Keep crying, then stop and cry even louder.
He would even bite Liang Shi when he was extremely angry.
The white shirt is of good quality, but it's rather thin since it's for summer.
Everything inside was clearly visible.
Water from the showerhead accidentally splashed onto his skin, causing his white shirt to cling tightly to his skin.
Liang Shi lowered his eyes and silently recited the Heart-Cleansing Mantra in his heart.
Hot water kept pouring from the showerhead, filling the bathroom with a misty haze.
Xu Qingzhu's hair was also soaked, and Liang Shi was not spared either.
Originally, I just wanted to give Xu Qingzhu a bath so she could sleep peacefully, but now that we're both soaked, I decided to bathe together.
//
Xu Qingzhu slept until the early hours of the morning when her fever returned.
She approached Liang Shi with her feverish heat, startling him awake. Liang Shi, still thinking he was in his own world, reached out and touched Xu Qingzhu's forehead, assuming she had a fever, and his heart tightened.
As a result, Xu Qingzhu slithered over like a snake and kissed her lips without saying a word.
