It was noon in summer. The sun was blazing outside the window, and the room was a little stuffy. In the next room, a soft voice could be faintly heard.
“Chirp- Chirp-”
“Shh- Don’t wake Jingtang up…”
“Coo-”
On the bed covered by the curtain, Ye Jingtang’s eyelashes fluttered. Then he opened his eyes. After a deep sleep, his mind was blank. After a moment of confusion, he remembered where he was.
The weather was scorching hot, and the thin blanket originally covering his body had long been kicked to the side.
He turned his head. Heroine Luo might have felt that his body was too hot, so she had rolled to the innermost side of the bed and slept with her back facing him, revealing the perfect curves of her waist, back, snow-white moon, and long legs…
So fair… Ye Jingtang blinked and felt that the already sultry weather had become a little hotter. Seeing that Ning’er was sleeping soundly, he couldn’t bear to ‘night and day’ directly. He just tilted his head to appreciate her carefully. After some thought, he picked up a small porcelain bottle from beside the pillow.
Last night, he had used the Dragon Slaying Decree, so it was inevitable that his arms were a little sore. When he was bullying Ning’er, she didn’t want to make a sound, so she had found something to do and helped him rub his arms to distract herself. But she had taken the wrong medicine bottle in a daze.
He had asked what medicine it was, but Ning’er had stammered and refused to tell him. In the end, under his attack, she had confessed that it was a temporary hair removal ointment. Her eyes had been full of vigilance as she covered herself, afraid that he would try it on a whim.
He felt that this item was unnecessary. After all, Ning’er’s body was flawless from head to toe. Any more or less would be superfluous. Moreover, with Ning’er’s temper, if he dared to make her look so embarrassing, she would absolutely be angry and ignore him for half a month.
But it was still possible to scare her.
Ye Jingtang thought for a moment and dipped his finger into a cup of water. Then he took the small medicine bottle and flipped it over behind the cold and charming Ning’er. His hand carefully circled around her slender waist…
“Ah-”
It was already noon, and Luo Ning didn’t sleep very deeply to begin with. When she felt a cold touch two inches below her navel, her feet curled up slightly, and she frowned slightly before opening her eyes.
The first thing he saw was the little thief’s handsome side profile. He was focused on doing something.
She looked down and saw that the little thief was holding the medicine bottle in his left hand, and his fingers were on her…
“Ahhhh!”
There was a scream.
Luo Ning’s beautiful eyes widened visibly, and fear and disbelief appeared in her eyes. She got up and retreated as if she had been electrocuted. She lowered her head to check. Although it was still there, it would definitely be gone tonight, and she would be too ashamed to see anyone…
When Luo Ning thought of this, her face even revealed a hint of grief and indignation. She picked up a pillow and threw it at the stinky man who was messing around while she was sleeping. “I’ll beat you to death, little thief! How… how could you do this?!”
She was so angry that tears came out.
Ye Jingtang was hit several times by the pillow, but it didn’t hurt at all. Instead, Ning’er’s movements were too big, and the little watermelons were swaying around, making him a little dizzy. He hurriedly held her wrist and comforted her gently. “It’s water. 1 was just joking. Don’t be angry.”
Luo Ning glared at Ye Jingtang for a moment. Hearing that he was joking to scare her, she felt relieved. Then she became even angrier. She picked up the pillow and hit him a few more times. “Joking? Do you believe that 1’11 turn you into a hairless brat while you’re sleeping…”
Pa! Pa! Pa!
While the two of them were fooling around, the door of the room was pushed open, and Third Lady stuck her head in the room. “What’s wrong with you guys?”
Although Pei Xiangjun couldn’t see anything through the curtain, Luo Ning was still so shocked that she hurriedly hugged the pillow and pretended to be calm. “Nothing. He woke me up when he called out the princess’s name while he was sleeping… It’s getting late. Let’s get ready to set off.”
Pei Xiangjun was next door, but she didn’t hear Jingtang talking in his sleep. She guessed that he might have done something bad. But the two of them were fooling around on the bed, so she couldn’t interrupt. She only said, “The sun is already shining. Hurry up and get up to eat.” Then she closed the door.
After Ye Jingtang comforted Ning’er for a while, he quickly put on his clothes and went downstairs for a meal.. When the sun was slightly lower, he rode his horse and set off again, speeding toward River Source County…
