Si TuZhao was still half kneeling on the ground. Xi Ning kept burying himself into his arms. Si TuZhao reached out and grabbed Xi Ningâs arm, trying to pull him away.
Xi Ning felt his movements and hurriedly raised his head while struggling. âDonât go. You can listen to me to explain firstâ¦â¦ itâs not what you think.â
Xi Ningâs expression looked like he was about to cry, and the panic and longing feeling for the past few days got overwhelming at this moment. Xi Ning said incoherently, âIâve been wanting to meet you, but you donât want to meet and talk to me â¦â¦â
Si TuZhao felt sorry for him, but he couldnât forget that Xi Ning called someone elseâs name in his arms that day. It was also torturous for him during this period.
Si TuZhao loosened his grip. Xi Ning rushed to hug him tightly again. Si TuZhao accidentally fell and sat on the ground, with one hand behind supporting him and the other hand up to hug Xi Ning, but he put it down after a while.
Xi Ning buried his head in his neck. âDonât leaveâ¦â¦â
Si TuZhao closed his eyes and said, âOkay, I wonât leave.â
His attitude loosened a little. Xi Ning felt a little more relieved, and rubbed the skin on the side of Si TuZhaoâs neck, moving a little upward and took the initiative to kiss.
Si TuZhao did not react at all, sitting on the spot like a wooden stake, only looking down at Xi Ning with a complicated expression.
Xi Ning grieved. âIf I didnât faint, would you still be hiding from me? You are so cruelâ¦â¦â
âIâm cruel?â Si TuZhao twitched the corner of his mouth and replied with a soft tone, âDidnât you say you want to explain it to me?â
He tried his best to be calm, but he still gritted his teeth when he said it. âThen tell me, who is Song Zhou?â
Si TuZhao has not been idle for the past few days. Besides watching Xi Ning secretly, he also sent some of his people to check everyone in the Immortal Palace, especially the people that Xi Ning had the opportunity to make contact with, but he found nothing.
But he heard it clearly. That day, Xi Ning temporarily lost his mind because of the poison, and called out an unfamiliar name in front of him.
He left calmly, but almost demolished his entire residence after returning. Fortunately, several subordinates stopped him so it didnât cause a ruckus.
Later, Si TuZhao recalled carefully. When Xi Ning first saw him, his reaction was quite strange. Even after knowing that he was not an ordinary devil, he did not panic at all, and even took the initiative to kiss him.
Could it be that I am just a substitute for another person? When he thought that Xi Ning might like another person and all the obedience and sweetness that was shown to him were not because of him, Si TuZhao couldnât express his feelings.
He also thought about going directly back to the Devil Realm and not bothering to care about the Tian Wu Zhu anymore. He even thought about giving up the marriage proposal and acting like had never met Xi Ning before.
But then he still settled the matter of Chu Yi for him and even went to see him secretly.
Now Xi Ning hugged him tightly and told him not to leave. His heart was softened. If Xi Ning was willing to confess and forget all his past, he could forgive him if he only treated himself wholeheartedly in the future.
Even if the truth was cruel, he didnât want Xi Ning to conceal the truth from himâ¦â¦
Xi Ning looked at him aggrievedly. âItâs you.â
Si TuZhao couldnât control the expression on his face, and he frowned. âI donât have this name. Donât try to lie to me.â
âI didnât lie to you,â Xi Ning couldnât tell Si TuZhao about his identity as a transmigrator. He kept kissing Si TuZhaoâs face and lips, trying to prove his heart with actions. âOnly you, I only like you.â
Xi Ning kissed him a few times and found that Si TuZhao was not moved at all, so he bit on his chin because of anxiety and used a lot of strength, as if he wanted to vent his emotions.
When he relaxed his bite, he saw the deep tooth mark in front of him and started to panic again. He leaned over, kissed it and said vaguely, âSorryâ¦â¦Donât be angryâ¦â¦â
Si TuZhao couldnât stand it anymore, and lowered his head to kiss him. He was a little aggressive in his movements, and he used his arm to restrain Xi Ning from moving.
Xi Ning was hugged so very tightly by Si TuZhao that his body started to hurt, and the root of his tongue was also numb from all the kisses, but he was very satisfied. He tried to obediently respond to SI TuZhao, occasionally making a few cat-like hums.
Si TuZhao gradually calmed down, and then moved away a little and lowered his eyes. âHas anyone ever kissed you or hugged you like this before?â
Xi Ning bit on his lower lip that had been wounded from the kissing just now, and whispered, âOnly you.â
Si TuZhao was silent for a while. Xi Ning was nervous, as he did not know what Si TuZhao was thinking, and wanted to explain to him again, but he suddenly felt the hand that was on his waist move.
Si TuZhao murmured in his ear. âHas anyone touched you here?â
Xi Ningâs fingertips turned white while grabbing on the clothes, and he said with difficulty, âOnly youâ¦â¦â
The hand quickly changed place, and he asked again, âWhat about here?â
Xi Ning almost couldnât control his voice, and fell into Si TuZhaoâs arms while shivering, but he still replied with those two words, âOnly you.â
Si TuZhao finally let him go and tidied up his clothes carefully. âVery good.â
