My wife is a witch princess.

Song Che was actually quite helpless. Xia Li was hitting him, and he couldn't just hit her back. It was like a child throwing a tantrum. She hit him, and he just endured it. Song Che felt that he had to find a way to fight back.

"Sit up first, I'll coax you to sleep." Xia Li had already come to Song Che's bedside.

Song Che wondered, "Is Xia Li really good at coaxing people to sleep?"

I'll knock you out on the head.

Xia Li said, "The new way I've learned to coax people helps them sleep."

Xia Li was actually very thoughtful. Knowing that Song Che often had nightmares and was always in poor spirits, she went to find ways to help him sleep better.

The method she tried was to search for sleeping pills on her phone. She found that she couldn't buy them; it seemed that the pills weren't sold. Then she tried eating certain fruits or going out to exercise to exhaust her energy so that she could sleep at night. But none of these seemed very reliable. Finally, she found a way to lull someone to sleep.

There are different techniques for putting someone to sleep. There are mothers' methods and wives' methods. She carefully observed the differences between them and realized that her wife's methods were actually not good, as they would make it even harder for her to fall asleep. Therefore, she chose her mother's methods.

"I'm ready, are you going to sleep?" Xia Li asked, but hadn't made any specific move yet.

"It should be ready... by now."

Song Che was puzzled as to why he needed to prepare for bed.

“Then come here, I’ll sing you a lullaby.”

"Are you sure you can sing?" Song Che didn't believe Xia Li could sing.

Her voice is quite nice, but that doesn't necessarily mean she sings well.

If you don't sing well, then poison your voice.

"I can sing."

"Then sing it."

"Come here first." Xia Li patted her leg, gesturing for Song Che to lean over and use it as a pillow. "Put your head on it, and I'll sing for you."

"Are you sure?" Song Che looked at Xia Li's legs. Although she was wearing fleece-lined jeans, they didn't look bulky. Instead, they accentuated the shape of her legs.

"Ah."

For Xia Li, her legs weren't considered a sensitive area. As long as Song Che didn't touch her breasts inappropriately or make her act strangely, it was fine.

"You really want me to lie down?" Song Che was very skeptical, because this was actually a rather intimate gesture.

"Come on in."

"Okay." Song Che lay down, and as soon as he looked up, his field of vision immediately shrank by half. "Ouch... didn't you tell me to lie down? Why did you knock on me!"

"You're looking around." Xia Li pursed her lips. Although she said Song Che was looking around, she didn't say he couldn't look around.

"Okay, I'll close my eyes."

Song Che was still quite tired. He not only took care of the children, but he also hadn't been sleeping well.

Xia Li stopped knocking on him and started patting Song Che to sleep, mimicking his actions while reciting some song lyrics.

She really can't sing!

Song Che tried to sleep for a while, but he couldn't actually fall asleep. He couldn't move around too much right now, because if he did, he would either bump his lower abdomen or other places, and if he did, Xia Li would definitely purse her lips.

Song Che decided not to sleep and simply closed his eyes to rest.

Xia Li tilted her head. "Are you uncomfortable lying down?"

"A little bit, actually."

"Then how should I lie down to make myself comfortable?"

"It'll feel better if I put my arm around your waist and face you."

"Okay, go ahead and hug me. Go to sleep when you're tired."

Song Che turned over, his nose filled with Xia Li's delicate fragrance.

He suddenly felt tired.

"If you're tired, go to sleep."

Song Che began to dream, and surprisingly, this time it was not a lucid dream. It seemed that he could sleep well as long as he was close to Xia Li.

Xia Li patted him gently, and Song Che hugged her tighter. He felt something was off, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

He felt that if he didn't hold her tight enough, Xia Li would leave.

"Song Che, I'm not leaving."

Song Che seemed to hear Xia Li's voice in his ear, but he didn't know if he was dreaming or if Xia Li was really speaking.

Can she read minds again?

……

Xia Li watched Song Che fall asleep, murmuring words to lull him to sleep.

She was talking to herself.

"It turns out the third gold coin also has power. Song Che died, and I went back in time."

Chapter 97 2...250! (4k)

Song Che still thinks about the previous issues.

After much deliberation, they finally decided that this was something they couldn't avoid; not avoiding the issue was the best outcome. They had already come this far, and it was too late to push her away now. So, they decided to try to create as many good memories as possible, at least to make her happy for now.

But that's not good, because Xia Li will shed even more tears in the future... assuming she will shed tears at all.

But every time I think about how Xia Li would shed tears because of him and remember him for a lifetime, I realize that...

To be remembered like this for a lifetime seems like a great honor.

If possible, in my next life, let me live longer, and you live a shorter life.

Just as he thought that, he realized something was wrong; those words sounded like a curse wishing Xia Li an early death.

How about I let you die before me?

This seems even more wrong; it's blatantly cursing someone to die young.

As Song Che pondered, he realized he was getting carried away again; this life wasn't over yet.

To make Xia Li happy, at least for now, I shouldn't push her away, lie to her, stop talking to her, or shoulder everything alone... These are the things I promised Xia Li last time.

Song Che's memory wasn't as good as Xia Li's, but he dared not forget this promise.

Okay, now it's time to sleep!

This sleep was so comfortable.

Xia Li's legs were soft against his head; she always smelled sweet, and her waist was easy to hug. Exhausted, Song Che held her and didn't let go. Even as he fell asleep, he could feel Xia Li patting his back, once, twice, many times, like she was soothing a child.

Holding a girl while sleeping is indeed sweet and soft.

When he finally got to sleep and opened his eyes, he belatedly realized that he had not only been holding her tightly, but had also been pressing down on Xia Li's legs all night while he slept.

He originally just wanted to sleep for a while and then get up, or perhaps he accidentally touched a place that Xia Li didn't want him to touch and was woken up.

In short, I didn't intend to hold Xia Li in my arms the whole time and make her sleep poorly.

However, Xia Li is asleep now. She is leaning against the headboard with her head tilted to one side and one hand resting on her leg. Even a witch needs to sleep after losing her magic. Being bothered by children all day will make her sleep soundly.

Suddenly I feel like kids are so annoying... I think I was just as annoying when I was little, and my mom really had a way with it.

It was already broad daylight, but the curtains were still not drawn.

Song Che gently stood up and glanced at his phone.

At this time, he couldn't go to do what he originally planned, and in another hour or so it would be lunchtime. He decided to go out and get something to eat first, and then go to the orphanage in the afternoon. He also wanted to check out of the room, as it needed to be returned before 1 p.m.

Regarding Tao Yao's matter, he finally had a preliminary idea in mind. As long as he confirmed that Tao Yao... Tao Yao was indeed a person with a legitimate identity, he could have Tao Yao use illusion magic to switch Xia Li with that identity.

Specifically, it means that Xia Li uses Tao Yao's ID card and name, and can even use illusion magic to disguise herself as Tao Yao through DNA testing, with only her face being Xia Li's own.

In this way, Xia Li can live a normal life as Tao Yao.

Anyway, the real Tao Yao is now a cat, attached to Tao Xiang, so she doesn't need an ID card.

Moreover, she's quite clever. Social worker Liu said she was adopted, but that's probably just her using illusions to create the illusion. If she really had run away, the police would have come knocking on their door long ago and brought the two sisters back.

Song Che continued to think. If he could get his parents to officially adopt Tao Yao, maybe they could even change her name. In that case, Xia Li would truly have everything she needed.

Complete form—Lin Xia Li!

He went to the bathroom to wash up without waking Xia Li. She probably went to bed quite late last night, so it was good for her to sleep a little longer. Lately, she's been learning things incredibly fast. Song Che originally thought that her attempts to put her to sleep would be like knocking herself unconscious with a slap, but he didn't expect her to be so skilled at patting his back, doing it one pat after another, she really did look quite professional.

While brushing his teeth, Song Che looked at himself in the mirror and suddenly felt that something was wrong.

He stopped, his mouth full of foam, and thought for a moment.

Why... is Xia Li starting to act more and more like his mother?

Xia Li, the old woman?

It really does look like him, except that her expression isn't as kind and her voice isn't as gentle, but it's already showing this trend. The key thing is that she seems to like controlling him... Could she be very controlling?

It wasn't just patting his back to lull him to sleep. Thinking about it carefully, Xia Li had indeed become much more proactive lately. Take this time, for example. In the past, even if you begged her, she probably wouldn't have agreed. But last night, she just let him use her lap as a pillow so naturally.

...It's so natural, so natural...so natural...natural my ass.

...that's very unreasonable.

I feel like Xia Li is possessed by a ghost again. This isn't something Xia Li would do... And last night, she said she wanted a goodnight kiss, but after kissing her, she ran away without taking responsibility, saying that I'm allowed to kiss you, but you're not allowed to kiss me... The more I think about it, the more suspicious it seems, and the angrier I get.

I'll definitely kiss you back next time.

After washing up, Song Che planned to let Xia Li sleep for another half hour, but when he went out, Xia Li was already awake, but she was sitting on the bed without moving.

"Good morning, Xia Li."

"Song Che, I think my leg is broken." Xia Li rubbed it. "I can't feel it."

“…This.” Song Che smiled awkwardly, “This is my fault. The blood circulation is restricted because of my pillow. It’s going to feel numb and itchy later.”

"Hmm." Xia Li tried to move her legs, but they wouldn't budge. She frowned. "Song Che, when are we leaving?"

Seeing her looking like she was saying "Hurry up and move," Song Che paused for a moment, then said, "No rush, let you catch your breath and have a meal before we go."

"Can we skip today?"
