Chapter 915: If it’s not enough, spare no efforts (2/2)

“You’re obscene!” she whined.

Long Feiye buried his head in her shoulders to laugh soundlessly. Han Yunxi pushed him multiple times, but he still refused to budge. Actually, he left her helpless more often than not, so she let him fool around. Their hug was more than a mutual embrace, but a reciprocal possession. Only when Han Yunxi held him tight did she feel the long road ahead wouldn’t be lonely. She’d seen his face up close, but it wasn’t as close as their bodies were now, nor so real.

The Bible once said, I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and, behold, all is vanity and a striving after wind.

Reality in Han Yunxi’s mind was only defined by one thing, and that was to have and to own. Possessing something made it the real deal! As her thoughts wandered, Long Feiye finally withdrew. His hand grabbed at the covers, a careless motion that nevertheless looked sexy. Han Yunxi finally saw that the bite marks on his left hand had finally left a scar. There were two parts to the toothmarks, each forming a crescent moon shape that was dull brown. Some scars would fade in color with time, but she’d bitten Long Feiye so hard and so deeply that only a miracle medicine would remove his now. Otherwise, they’d remain for the rest of his life.

What else could Han Yunxi say now that he’d successfully kept his scar? She took Long Feiye’s hand and examined it in detail.

“Long Feiye, what did you mean by ‘if’ back then?”

Long Feiye had said that birthmarks were actually scars from your lover in a past life. Then he’d trailed off after saying if, leaving her curious. Now he simply smiled wordlessly while Han Yunxi snuggled close and pleaded in a soft voice, “Say something already.”

But Long Feiye refused to tell her. He’d long steeled his heart against it. Han Yunxi refused to give up and began to get coquettish as she flirted and pled, “Long Feiye, just tell me already. Say it, saaay it~....” As she asked, she even rubbed against him on purpose until she broke through his defenses. Even the steadiest heart had to waver before her kittenish tones! He usually hated such voices, but was always helpless against hers. If she kept this on, she could forget about ever leaving this bed in the morning.

“Alright, alright, I’ll tell you.” When Long Feiye capitulated, Han Yunxi immediately stopped pestering him. He regretted it instantly because he could have taken more of her rubbing for awhile.

“Speak,” she grew serious.

“Birthmarks are actually bite marks from lovers in a past life. If we die in this one with the bite marks intact, then they’ll definitely become a birthmark in the next…” Long Feiye paused before he chuckled. “Han Yunxi, if you see this bite mark in your next life, you have to recognize who I am.”

It was a beautiful legend, but why did Han Yunxi feel like crying after she heard it? She fell silent for awhile before suddenly offering her hand. “Long Feiye, take a bite! A ferocious bite!”

Although she didn’t believe in such absurd stories, she really wanted to have a scar that came from him too. Long Feiye refused.

“Don’t worry. If there really is a next life, I can recognize you even without a birthmark.”

So does he believe in the legend or not?

Han Yunxi knitted her brows at him, feeling that there were things left unsaid. But she didn’t know what to say and stared at him until she abruptly hugged him. What ‘next life?’ It’s just as good if we can grow old together in this life. Whether it’s ruling the world or living simply, that’s already eternity for me.

Han Yunxi didn’t like the subject of their next life and simply said, “Long Feiye, I’m going to tell you a piece of good news.”

“Good news?” Long Feiye was surprised.

“Ning Jing’s pregnant, she’s already four months in,” Han Yunxi muttered.

Long Feiye chuckled. “Tang Li, that fellow…”

“You’re going to be an uncle!” Han Yunxi added.

Long Feiye was happy for Tang Li, but not as happy as Han Yunxi. He looked expressionlessly at her stomach. Han Yunxi understood even without him saying a word. Thus, Long Feiye waited for her to speak first.

After a while, Han Yunxi managed to say, “It’s...almost daylight.”

In other words, it was about time for him to leave. But Long Feiye only sighed seriously. “It looks like I’m not working hard enough!”

This was the same line he’d said a few years ago when they’d gone to the imperial banquet and the empress dowager had asked after Han Yunxi’s stomach. Long Feiye got off the bed and quickly cleaned up his things to depart, but Han Yunxi couldn’t resist pulling at his hand. “Feiye, it’s not time yet.”

“I know,” Long Feiye intoned. He had been able to stop Baili Yuanlong from doing anything, but not Han Yunxi herself. She would always take measures after their trysts, he knew this well.

This really was no time to get pregnant. He hadn’t even fulfilled his promises to her yet, so how could he ask her to take on another burden? Really, he needed to work harder…
