Chapter 979: Chapter 978: Ye Xian Longing Syndrome
Ye Xian heard his imperious tone and instantly glared with her beautiful eyes, "Oh, you’re blaming me now?"
"No."
Bo Tingshen kissed her forehead, "Waiting is just so torturous, I can’t stand it; it’ll drive me crazy, and when I’m crazy, I might hurt you."
Ye Xian heard ’hurt’ as ’have’, and the guilt from being away for more than a month immediately vanished, "You’re shameless... getting more and more outrageous, no, I must punish you!"
"How will you punish me?"
"I’ll punish you for a year..." Ye Xian rolled her eyes, thinking a year might be too long. With how he devoured her last night, he definitely wouldn’t agree. "Punish you to not touch me for a month!"
This timeframe seemed reasonable and good for her physical and mental health; with her tiny frame, she couldn’t take his antics.
Bo Tingshen’s lips curved into a light smile, as if he’d heard a funny joke.
"?"
Ye Xian looked at his ambiguous smile, puzzled, "What’s wrong? Do you think it’s fair too?"
With the porridge bowl emptied, Bo Tingshen put down the spoon, gently rubbing her tender soft hand, and kissed it, letting out a satisfied sigh.
"..."
Ye Xian watched his act like a skin-hungry maniac, her lips moved, and she immediately pulled back her hand.
Bo Tingshen: "Say something practical."
"What do you mean? Isn’t this practical?"
"An hour, a quarter of an hour, a minute, or a second seems more practical."
"You... "
She was furious, just pushed him away, and was tightly embraced again, "Don’t move, if you move, I want to again..."
"Bo Tingshen, do you really have a skin hunger disorder?"
Skin hunger disorder?
Bo Tingshen savored those words, leaned down and nibbled her fair earlobe, his magnetic voice unbearably seductive, "I have Ye Xian hunger disorder."
"Pft!"
"Really, every inch of your skin excites and thrills me..."
"Stop it, President Bo, you’re so clingy! Disgusting!"
"Not as ’clingy’ as you."
His words implied more and were getting increasingly improper, Ye Xian’s petite fists rained lightly on his chest.
The curtains in the hall slowly opened, Ye Xian heard the sound and glanced outside, instantly dumbfounded.
So beautiful!
Outside the villa, it was an icy, snowy world, cloaked in silver, with snowflakes fluttering down like willows, adorning the entire Golden Palm Villa like a fairy tale castle.
Bo Tingshen followed her entranced gaze, picked up the remote, and closed the automatic curtains.
"So beautiful... hey, hey, hey, what are you doing?"
Ye Xian snatched the remote from his hand and opened it again.
"Finished eating? Then let’s head back to the room to watch a movie."
"What movie? No way, I want to go play in the snow~"
Ye Xian looked expectantly at the beautiful scene outside.
Bo Tingshen seemed to have seen right through her thoughts, ignored her desire, and directly carried her to the media room.
"Hey, hey, hey!" Ye Xian patted his arm repeatedly, and seeing him ignore her, she feigned tears, "Waa waa waa, Bo Tingshen is bullying me, bullying at night, bullying in the day too..."
Bo Tingshen paused his steps, "Can you walk down yourself?"
Ye Xian: "...I’ll try."
"It’s too cold outside, you’ll catch a chill."
"I’m not afraid, I’ve trained in Taekwondo, Judo! I’m very strong physically!"
"Oh?" Bo Tingshen raised an eyebrow, "Then who was it last night crying out they couldn’t take it? Lying to me?"
"That was because you’re a beast!"
"I think you still have energy."
"I don’t care, I want to see snow, I want to play in snow, if you don’t let me see the first snow of the new year, you’re not human!"
She cried and fussed in his arms like a child, making Bo Tingshen’s heart melt, "Baby, good, listen, your immunity is quite weak now, you can’t catch a cold, rest for a day then go out to play, alright?"
"Not alright, not alright!"
Whose fault is it that her immunity is weak now!
Bo Tingshen: "Listen."
Ye Xian saw this man was actually trying to cover her mouth and forcefully drag her into the media room and hurriedly shouted, "Daddy!"
Bo Tingshen’s body suddenly stiffened, as if he’d been electrified, looking down at her with urgency in his eyes, "What did you say?"
Ye Xian pouted, wrapping her hands around his neck, acting coquettishly, selling out her dignity for the beautiful scenery.
"Daddy~"
Last night, wasn’t he forcing her to use that term? As long as she said it, he would listen to her.
Bo Tingshen lowered his head, kissing her lips, with an impatience that carried a bit of roughness and brutality.
She needs a good spanking.
"Mmm~" Ye Xian struggled while making her demands, "After you finish kissing, you have to take me out to see the snow!"
She was bullied for quite a while, tears in her eyes, lips red and swollen, and Bo Tingshen finally let go a bit, panting heavily as he tightly held her, "Baby, I want to..."
"No, you don’t want to, now we’re going to see the snow!"
"Call me ’husband’ again."
Ye Xian, "..." This guy is pushing it, she endures!
"Honey~ I want to go see the snow, is that okay?"
Bo Tingshen felt a tingling sensation all over his body, unable to control himself after she called him hubby with such sweetness.
Yesterday, it was this sweet call that brought him out.
"Baby, my good baby, what should I do with you..."
"Yay! Going out to see the snow!"
Soon, Ye Xian was wrapped snugly, looking like a little snowman, standing at the door.
Bo Tingshen knelt down on one knee, "Get on."
Ye Xian leaned on his back, feeling the man’s steady and strong steps, reaching out to catch a beautiful and flawless hexagonal snowflake.
"CEO, why do you think snowflakes are hexagonal?"
"Snowflakes are crystals formed during the sublimation of water vapor, crystals are naturally regular geometric shapes, but they’re not completely hexagonal. In the clouds, starting from a tiny particle of dust, water vapor attaches and accumulates..."
The man walked leisurely while explaining meteorological knowledge to her, but Ye Xian suddenly noticed a few snowflakes falling on his head.
Having finished, he noticed her silence, and Bo Tingshen’s tone slightly lifted, "What’s wrong? Are you cold?"
"No." Ye Xian suddenly whispered softly by his ear, "CEO, they say carrying someone means a lifetime. Now that we’re walking in the snow, our hair turning white, does it mean ’till death do us part’?"
Bo Tingshen’s steps slightly paused, and Ye Xian took the chance to run off his back, grabbing a handful of snow from the low pine branch, laughingly throwing it at his face. Afraid of retaliation, she quickly ran away, but didn’t get far before stumbling and falling, ending up being bullied by the man in the snow.
In the beautiful, fairy-tale-like Golden Palm Side Villa, the couple gleefully played, laughed, and hurled snowballs at each other.
After a long while, both breathed heavily, lying side by side on the snow.
Ye Xian pat the snow on both sides of her body, watching the snowflakes scatter, "I haven’t played in the snow like this for a long time. Since entering the industry, I’ve never had such fun, too happy~"
Bo Tingshen: "Neither have I."
Never been this happy before.
Recalling the path he had walked so far, learning, working, expanding for the past twenty-six years, monotonously as if life’s end was already visible.
Only the past year was vivid and lively, with each day unforgettable, even making him look forward to the future, knowing that every day with her would be different.
"You haven’t?" Ye Xian questioned his words, "You’re a top giant, maybe not worldwide, but at least the most formidable in the Imperial Capital, commanding wind and rain, still not happy?"
"I don’t want to be the most formidable person, but the happiest one."
"Oh~" Ye Xian understood, her eyes moving playfully as she knowingly questioned, "Are you now?"
His response was a deep, melodious laugh that made her laugh along.
"Xianxian, when I’m old and you’re still young, will you despise me?"
Ye Xian didn’t initially understand why he suddenly asked, hesitating, then recalling what she just said about a lifetime and old age together.
Tsk tsk.
It turns out he also feels a sense of crisis.
But then again, being nine years older than her, now in their youth doesn’t show any awkwardness. If she stays in the entertainment circle, she might look like a twenty-year-old girl even at fifty, and the gap would become evident then.
"Are you afraid of that?"
"Of course."
His single hand cushioned his head, his deep black eyes calmly gazing into the sky with snowflakes drifting down, his voice vast as if boundless, "From the first time I began thinking about you, I’ve been scared, scared you’re unhappy, scared you’ll get hurt, scared you won’t love me, scared I’ll grow old before you..."
All fears and unease revolve around you.
Finishing his words, not hearing a response, he slightly turned his face, seeing the small woman beside him staring intently at him.
Ye Xian had an expression of stunned realization, at this moment, she seemed to see a completely different him.
Not the heartless, cunning person her second brother described, nor the unrivaled high-ranking giant others considered him to be, nor the playful person he usually was with her.
He completely stripped away his hard, cold shell, exposing his softest, truest side entirely to her.
Ye Xian swallowed back the teasing words she had prepared, suddenly diving into his embrace like a little swallow, "Bo Tingshen, guess what wish I made at Wishing Lake that day?"
"Hope fans can forgive you?"
"No." Ye Xian shook her head, "I made a very common wish, hoping... to be together forever, forever, never-ending with a certain werewolf."
Bo Tingshen’s breath halted.
Ye Xian raised her pretty eyebrows, "So, if you become an old man, then congrats, you’ll still have a young little wife."
Bo Tingshen suddenly gripped her hands, forcefully and assertively pinning her in the snow for a kiss.
"Mmm..."
After a while, releasing her, their rapid breathing created a warm haze between them.
Ye Xian’s eyes were shimmering, barely able to see him clearly, only hearing him say, "Xianxian, Happy New Year."
She smiled, "Tingshen, Happy New Year."
"From now on, every year and day, you belong solely to me."
"So do you."
He leaned in to kiss her again, but Ye Xian covered his mouth, "Suddenly remembered something, today is the first day of the New Year, shouldn’t we go home and spend it with Mom and Dad?!"
At the Ye Family window, Ye Shaowen, gripping his phone in frustration, looked at the vast white expanse of snow, determined to see if Xiao Yezi still remembered she had a home!
"Alright, let’s have both families celebrate together."
"Then... where to celebrate?"
"Your call."
"Hehe~" Ye Xian laughed happily, "Okay!"
In the swirling snowflakes, a large hand held a smaller one, leaving a trail of connected footprints, and Ye Xian mischievously teased again, "But CEO... what if I, still young, secretly find a young hottie?"
"I’ll let you see him turn into fresh blood bit by bit."
"Hah~"
Gentleness and warmth truly were illusions; a twisted mind is indeed the essence.
