After sharing a body with her husband

"What is it? Tell me."

Xie Yan'an stared at her intently, and as he stared, the tips of Shang Lingjun's ears turned red.

She cursed inwardly; Xie Yan'an's face was truly...

good looking.

He looked alright when he lay there with his eyes closed, but who knew that he would be even more vivid and beautiful when he came to life, opened his eyes, and spoke.

With distinct features, bright and sparkling eyes, every expression is so vivid. How can the eyes be so beautiful and so deep?

Especially her eyes, so tender and affectionate.

Is this the kind of affectionate look one gives when looking at a dog?

Shang Lingjun suddenly felt something was amiss. She quickly pulled herself back to reality and, pretending nothing was wrong, said:

"Speak up, why are you staring at me like that?"

Xie Yan'an was already somewhat hesitant, and since he had just returned to his body, his speech was a bit slow, so he hesitated to speak.

"Actually, I am just..."

Before he could finish speaking, Xie Yan'an's body suddenly went limp.

Shang Lingjun's expression changed drastically, and she quickly went to support him. She used all her strength to barely hold Xie Yan'an's body and prevent him from falling off the bed!

"Chuan Chuan, why did you faint?"

Shang Lingjun slapped Xie Yan'an's face repeatedly.

Stop filming, I'm here.

In his mind, Huo Chuan's frustrated voice echoed.

Just as he was about to reveal that he was Xie Yan'an, an irresistible pulling force came again, forcibly dragging him back into Shang Lingjun's body.

Shang Lingjun's expression froze instantly.

Why are you back again? Is there...is there a time limit?

"I don't know what happened either, I'll try again," Huo Chuan said.

Shang Lingjun quickly relinquished control of her body to Huo Chuan, but no matter how Huo Chuan tried, he couldn't return to Xie Yan'an's body.

It's no use.

Why is this happening?

The two of them had just experienced ecstasy, especially Xie Yan'an, and then they were suddenly dragged back down. Such a contrast was truly disappointing.

However, this was a good sign, and he was not discouraged.

It seems there's a time limit each time, and not every kiss is effective. Perhaps it's the first time of the day, or maybe every night? We still need to explore the pattern.

He was glad that he hadn't had a chance to tell Shang Lingjun the truth yet; it wouldn't be too late to tell him after he was fully back in his body.

It's okay, we've already taken a big step forward and achieved a temporary success.

Shang Lingjun comforted him.

She gently touched her lips; she had just kissed Xie Yan'an, though it was Huo Chuan who kissed her…

Huo Chuan Huo Chuan...

Shang Lingjun felt like there were tiny claws scratching at his heart. If he had known that he would only stay in Xie Yan'an's body for such a short time, why was he being so hesitant just now?

I thought there would be plenty of time in the future, but who knew it would turn out like this.

Ouch...

So annoying!

You'll have to remember that next time!

It was getting late, so Shang Lingjun quickly dressed Xie Yan'an in his clothes, covered him with a blanket, and then hurriedly ran away.

To my surprise, I bumped into Qingzhi as soon as I stepped out the door.

Qingzhi yawned, "I couldn't see Madam just now, but I knew you were here. Did Madam come to talk to Seventh Master again?"

"Hmm, I'm thinking of talking to him more, maybe that will wake him up, or even just keeping him company would be good."

Shang Lingjun switched to "virtuous wife" mode in a second.

Qingzhi was deeply moved, thinking to herself that Madam truly cared about Seventh Master.

"Let's go, I'm sleepy too."

Shang Lingjun took Qingzhi back to Qixia Pavilion.

Once they were in bed, the two of them reviewed the situation again, discussing what the patterns were.

They were both right about one thing: skin-to-skin contact wasn't enough; there had to be bodily fluid contact.

Without much thought, Shang Lingjun blurted out:

Is it because the kiss was too short, and there was too little saliva contact, that you stayed inside Xie Yan'an's body for a short time?

She regretted it as soon as she said it.

【Uh……】

Does she want Huo Chuan to use her body to French kiss Xie Yan'an?

Eek!

Shang Lingjun felt goosebumps all over her body!

Not right either.

Since it involves bodily fluid contact, why does it have to be saliva?

The storybook mentioned that the two people shared a room, and they found that kissing was acceptable. So why can't they find another way and replace saliva with sweat?

Or perhaps, blood?

Forget about the blood; firstly, she's afraid of the pain, and secondly, if Xie Yan'an had any wounds, the Xie family would probably tear her apart.

As for sweat, it should work when it's hot in the summer. Just take Xie Yan'an out into the sun to bask in the sun, and once he sweats, he'll be fine, right?

Huo Chuan was unaware that Shang Lingjun was planning to take him out to be baked in the sun on a sunny day.

He was pondering what Shang Lingjun had just said, and...

How can he return to his body permanently?

If kissing can temporarily bring us back to reality, then what about sex...?

It was past midnight when Shang Lingjun let out a big yawn; she was really sleepy.

Huo Chuan, however, felt no sleepiness whatsoever.

He also wanted to know why Shang Lingjun suddenly wanted a child.

【Ati, why do you suddenly want a biological child? You are the seventh wife of the Xie family. If you adopt a child as the matriarch suggests, it will still be a child of the seventh wife, and it won't disrupt your peaceful life.】

He has now calmed down and realizes that Shang Lingjun's words about having an affair were just said in anger.

She's not that stupid; why would she give up a good life and take such a big risk?

She was looking for him all along.

Shang Lingjun was so sleepy that she couldn't stay awake any longer, and answered groggily:

As you know, I'm an orphan. I've never had any relatives since I was little. Now that I have a child, I have family in this world...

Her voice was soft, but every word struck Huo Chuan's heart.

So that was the real reason she was so determined to have a child...

Huo Chuan felt a tightness in his chest.

I'm so sleepy, I'm going to sleep now. Make yourself at home.

Shang Lingjun turned over, and within two breaths she fell into a deep sleep.

Huo Chuan, however, felt no sleepiness whatsoever.

He never dared to imagine that he, a man who had crossed the Yellow Springs and was already dead, could return to the world of the living through her light.

To be able to see your living relatives and experience the feeling of sunshine on your body and spring breeze on your face.

At first, he was satisfied that he could come back and see the human world again. He didn't care if the Black and White Impermanence wanted to take him away whenever they wanted.

But now, a hint of greed has arisen in him.

He wanted to stay there permanently...

It's just unknown whether fate will grant his wish.

Even a hint of fear crept into Huo Chuan's heart; he feared Shang Lingjun's disappointment, and he feared that one day he might suddenly disappear.

【Ati, next time, let's have a child. If I don't stay on earth for long, it would be good to have a child to keep you company...】
