Chapter 181: Chapter 181 Promise_1
Just as Qin Sisi was about to say something to Ye You, he beat her to it, speaking sternly, "Didn’t I tell you I could handle it? You have so little faith in me?"
Qin Sisi was taken aback, quickly explaining, "That’s not it, I..."
Before she could finish, Ye You scolded her again, "Do you know you’re sick? You just broke out in a sweat and now you’ve rushed out dressed so lightly. Do you even want to get better?"
Qin Sisi looked innocently at Ye You, her heart felt wronged but also sweet.
Seeing Qin Sisi’s watery gaze, Ye You’s annoyance inexplicably vanished.
He sighed helplessly, saying in a softer tone, "Alright, go put on a jacket and come out to eat."
Qin Sisi turned around to get dressed in her room, and on her way out, she cheekily stuck her tongue out at Ye You.
When Qin Sisi came out fully dressed, Ye You had already set out the takeaway on the dining table, two stir-fried dishes, two bowls of rice, colorful and aromatic.
Qin Sisi had just been ill and although she was a bit hungry, her appetite wasn’t too great. She was only able to eat half a bowl of rice before pushing the rest aside.
Ye You glanced up, and after quietly finishing his rice, he ate the half-bowl left by Qin Sisi.
"You..." Qin Sisi watched Ye You eating enthusiastically, wanting to say something, but hesitated.
"What is it?" Ye You looked at Qin Sisi and asked.
"Nothing."
Qin Sisi had wanted to ask "you don’t mind?", but seeing Ye You’s nonchalant demeanor, she didn’t manage to voice her words.
After eating, Qin Sisi went back to bed to rest under Ye You’s urging.
Ye You stayed by Qin Sisi’s side, touching her forehead from time to time to check her temperature.
As Qin Sisi drifted off to sleep, she felt a warm sensation spreading over her body from her soles. It was as if warm sunshine was sprinkling on her in spring, making her feel incredibly comfortable.
After a while, the warm current at her feet disappeared, but her body still felt warm and somewhat energetic.
The blanket at her feet shifted lightly, then Ye You’s figure slowly approached Qin Sisi.
Qin Sisi looked at Ye You gratefully and whispered, "Xiao Hei, thank you."
Ye You gave a bitter smile and said, "Fool, why are you thanking me? You’re sick because of me. I would be glad if you don’t blame me."
Having heard self-blame in Ye You’s tone, Qin Sisi couldn’t bear it. She reached out and took Ye You’s paw in her hand, saying softly, "Don’t say that."
Seeing that Qin Sisi had taken the initiative to hold his hand, Ye You’s eyes darkened. He moved forward and wrapped his arms around Qin Sisi’s neck, burying his fluffy head in the crook of her soft neck.
The gentle tickle stirred on her delicate skin, causing Qin Sisi to reach out and hold Ye You tightly.
After a moment of tenderness, Ye You reluctantly pulled away, looking at Qin Sisi and asked, "Sisi, will you go with me to the Demon Sacred Realm?"
Qin Sisi met Ye You’s expectant gaze and nodded vigorously.
Ye You then said, "You will marry me, won’t you?"
"..."
Qin Sisi hesitated for a moment, shyly turned her head away, and said softly, "Isn’t it too early to discuss this?"
Ye You used his paw to turn Qin Sisi’s head back so she could look at him, he insisted, "Give me a promise."
Qin Sisi said somewhat vexed, "If it’s about promises, shouldn’t you be the one to give it to me first?"
Ye You stared deeply into Qin Sisi’s eyes, saying solemnly, "I already have."
Qin Sisi gaped, "When? How come I didn’t know?"
Ye You replied solemnly, "A long time ago, I made one in my heart."
"You..." Qin Sisi was left speechless, she gently patted Ye You’s fluffy head.
Ye You laughed softly and said, "Considering that you’re sick, I can say it again verbally. But once I’m finished, you also have to make a promise to me."
Qin Sisi thought for a bit, saying, "You go first."
So, Ye You looked at Qin Sisi, saying word by word, "I, Ye You, will take Qin Sisi to the Demon Sacred Realm, will let her possess equally powerful magic as mine, will give her all my money, cherish her, love her, marry her, let her be my wife, my only wife in this life."
Qin Sisi stared at Ye You in a daze. Long after, when she had been through trials and tribulations, narrowly escaping death, and finally stood proudly at the peak of a mountain, she still clearly remembered the promises Ye You made for her, and his twinkling eyes that shone like stars.
Ye You leaned down and lightly pecked Qin Sisi’s rosy lips, his voice deep as he said, "Sisi, give me your promise."
Qin Sisi paused for a moment, then mustered up the courage to say, "If all your promises hold true, I’ll never leave you, we’ll stick together through thick and thin."
On a late autumn afternoon, inside an ordinary bedroom, a person and a cat held each other close, making heartfelt promises to each other.
From that moment on, they had even greater courage to face the unknown trials, the capriciousness of fate, and even defy them.
After a few more hours of sweet sleep, Qin Sisi felt that she was basically recovered. Her body had strength and her spirits were high.
But Ye You was still anxious. Despite Qin Sisi’s protests, he crawled into the blanket again, pressing his paws onto the soles of Qin Sisi’s feet and channeling warm energy into her with his fire magic.
Qin Sisi was fully conscious, and her feet were very sensitive. The warm current brought a slight tickling sensation, her body was immersed in warmth, and there was a slight tingling.
Qin Sisi’s face flushed under Ye You’s fire magic, her feet twitched slightly.
Ye You couldn’t help but frown. If she kept moving, how could he concentrate on healing her?
As a punishment, Ye You bent down and bit lightly on Qin Sisi’s toes.
Qin Sisi couldn’t help but let out a moan. Indeed, she didn’t dare move for the rest of the time.
When Ye You came out, Qin Sisi’s face was as red as the sunset.
Ye You feigned ignorance and wanted Qin Sisi to sleep a little longer. However, Qin Sisi repeatedly assured him that she was really a lot better and that being too sedentary would actually not be conducive to her recovery. Only then did Ye You allow her to get out of bed.
By the time it was night, Qin Sisi originally wanted to prepare dinner by herself, but Ye You wouldn’t let Qin Sisi, who just recovered, do the work. He took out his phone and ordered takeaway himself.
Qin Sisi was amazed at Ye You’s skilled operation. He became fully familiar with it after only watching once. He learned so fast. If this was used for academic learning, he could totally be a top student.
The takeaway ordered by Ye You included a steaming pot of mushroom soup, which he encouraged Qin Sisi to drink more of once it arrived.
Qin Sisi obediently drank several bowls of hot soup, broke out in a sweat, and felt much lighter.
