Ning Dao Covered with Snow

Chapter 368 Teasing
Xiao Wang's neck seemed rusty as he turned it with difficulty, his eyes staring straight at Yan Ciwan.

To be precise, I was staring at her lips. Because she had lost too much blood and hadn't fully recovered, her lips were still pale and looked quite thin.

Xiao Wang's lips moved, and he mustered his courage before speaking.

"what are you doing?"

Yan Ciwan showed no remorse for doing anything wrong. She blinked her bright eyes and asked innocently, "What did I do wrong?"

Xiao Wang's Adam's apple bobbed, and his voice became unusually low and hoarse: "Just now, did you... kiss me?"

"Really? I don't know, maybe it was an accident."

Yan Ciwan's reaction was no different from that of a rogue in Xiao Wang's eyes.

Xiao Wang wanted to get angry, but looking at her pale face and the wounds all over her body, he couldn't get angry at all, and in the end he could only suppress his anger.

"never mind."

Yan Ciwan was surprised by his reaction and couldn't help but find it somewhat amusing.

The more he endured it, the more he wanted people to bully him.

Yan Ciwan deliberately pressed, "What do you mean by 'let it go'? Explain yourself clearly."

Xiao Wang's ears were already red, but his face remained expressionless. He said sternly, "Please stop now."

"What did I do? Why are you saying that to me?"

Looking at her, Xiao Wang was certain that she had done it on purpose. She had definitely kissed his ear just now, which was clearly a way of teasing him.

He could no longer bear it and pounced on Yan Ciwan, pinning her to the bed.

He placed his hands on either side of Yan Ciwan's cheeks, a strand of hair slipping from his temple and landing on her neck, making her feel a little ticklish. She was injured and couldn't move, so she could only try to twist her neck. Her already loose nightgown became even looser as she twisted and turned.

From Xiao Wang's angle, one can clearly see her fair neck and delicate collarbone.

He had to close his eyes and force himself to calm down.

"Aci, stop teasing me."

Yan Ciwan lay on her back on the bed, looking at Xiao Wang's beautiful jawline, and asked with a smile, "How did I tease you? Don't accuse me wrongly."

Xiao Wang opened his eyes, and his usually peaceful and gentle eyes now looked as dangerous as a wild beast.

He said in a hoarse voice, "I'm not as upright as you think. I'm afraid I'll lose control and do something to hurt you."

Yan Ciwan stared at him intently, deliberately coaxing, "I can't move at all right now. If you really want to do something to me, I won't be able to resist."

Many inappropriate images for children flashed through Xiao Wang's mind, and his breathing suddenly became rapid.

He struggled to control his impulse and said with restraint, "I will not take advantage of someone in distress."

Yan Ciwan blew a breath towards his chin and chuckled, "Since I gave my permission, it doesn't count as taking advantage of someone in distress."

Xiao Wang stared at her intently, as if trying to confirm whether she was telling the truth or joking.

“I teased you just now, and now I allow you to tease me back.” Yan Ciwan turned her head to face him with her profile.

Looking at her pale face, Xiao Wang seemed to be bewitched by a mountain spirit, and slowly leaned down.

The distance between the two is getting closer and closer.

Just as Xiao Wang's lips were about to touch Yan Ciwan's cheek, he suddenly stopped and asked.

"Aci, are you serious?"

Yan Ciwan said with a hint of helplessness, "Yes."

"You won't regret it, will you?"

"If you don't move soon, I might regret it."

Xiao Wang, fearing she might change her mind, quickly lowered his head and pressed his lips to her cheek, leaving a fleeting, light kiss. His heart pounded wildly, and the blood in his body felt as if it were on fire.

He couldn't help but lower his head and press his cheek against Yan Ciwan's cheek, rubbing it affectionately and gently.

Yan Ciwan really wanted to reach out and hug him, but unfortunately she couldn't move and could only lie stiffly on the bed.

"Aci, am I dreaming?"

Yan Ciwan sighed: "You can pinch yourself. If it hurts, then it's not a dream."

She was just joking, but Xiao Wang took it seriously. He pinched his thigh hard, and the pain made him gasp.

He was overjoyed: "I'm not dreaming!"

Yan Ciwan laughed and scolded, "Are you an idiot?"

She had heard before that being in love could make people stupid, and now it seems to be true.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door, and Qiu Shuang's voice came in: "Madam Ning, it's time to change the dressing."

Xiao Wang immediately got up from the bed and helped Yan Ciwan cover herself with the blanket.

Yan Ciwan said, "Come in."

With a creak, the door was pushed open, and Qiu Shuang walked in carrying a tray. She bowed to Yan Ciwan and Xiao Wang, and then placed the tray on the low cabinet beside the bed.

"This servant is about to change Lady Ning's dressing. Please excuse me, Xiao Liulang."

Xiao Wang hadn't had enough time to spend with Yan Ciwan and was reluctant to part with her, but reason told him that he should indeed leave now.

He looked at Yan Ciwan, his eyes filled with longing and reluctance.

"I'll be going now, I'll come see you again this afternoon."

Yan Ciwan said, "Don't come this afternoon. It's too much trouble to keep running around like this."

"It's no trouble at all. I'm just a free man anyway, and I have nothing to do at home. Li Sanlang, Du Erlang, and Chao Erniang are planning to come see you this afternoon, and I'll come with them."

"OK then."

Xiao Wang glanced at her one last time before turning and leaving.

As he stepped out of the room, he saw Nie Xiayun.

He took the initiative to greet her: "Madam."

Nie Xiayun now regards him as half a grandson-in-law. She looks Xiao Wang up and down. This boy is not only outstanding in appearance, but also has a gentle personality. He is good no matter how you look at him.

She was secretly delighted and said with a smile, "You're leaving already?"

"Yes, I'll come visit Aci again this afternoon with my friends."

"That's wonderful! I haven't had a chance to properly thank you all for risking your lives to rescue Aci. Tonight, I'll cook a table full of my best dishes for you!"

"The old lady is too kind. Oh, by the way, I forgot to give this to Aci earlier. Could you please pass it on to her for me?"

Xiao Wang took out a lotus-colored sachet from his bosom.

Nie Xiayun took the sachet. The stitches were neat and delicate, and the two swallows embroidered on it were lifelike. She couldn't help but ask, "Did you make this yourself?"

Xiao Wang nodded: "Yes, the skill is rough, I hope the old lady will not find it offensive."

Nie Xiayun laughed even more happily: "Your skills are much better than Aci's."

Unexpectedly, Xiao Liulang also knows needlework. This is truly a rare and precious thing. Her granddaughter is both scholarly and martial, but she can't do any needlework, cooking, or housework. She and Xiao Liulang complement each other perfectly.

Xiao Wang asked, "How about I make a sachet for the old lady as well? What kind of pattern would you like?"

"No need, I'm too old for these fragrant things. You just need to do it for Aci. She's young and loves to dress up, she likes these fancy little things."

Seeing that she did not reject his contact with Yan Ciwan, Xiao Wang knew that the old lady accepted him, and he was naturally happy.
