Volume 1: The Beauty of Misfortune Chapter 21: Sharing the Bed

Habit is a terrible thing. It will quietly tamper with a person's mind without noticing.

When Xiao Che wanted to support Xia Qingyue during the wedding, she mercilessly froze his arm. The first time he called her "wife", she almost got furious. The first time he held her hand, Xiao Che could feel the cold murderous aura coming from her...

In just a few days, Xiao Che's "Qingyue Wife" became more and more fluent. She had let it go. No matter what she thought in her heart, she had completely accepted this title on the surface. Not to mention being held by his hand, even taking off clothes in front of him was not so awkward.

These days, Xiao Che undoubtedly slept in the corner, but with a thick blanket on the floor, he finally didn't sleep so badly. And every morning at three o'clock, he would wake up on his own initiative and "regulate" her with silver needles. These days, she has increasingly felt how amazing her physical condition has changed.

The light was dim, but Xia Qingyue's naked back was still as jade-like, and her skin was as bright as snow. Xiao Che held the silver needles in his hand, his fingertips dancing, and soon he was sweating profusely. After two quarters of an hour, another "Tongxuan" was completed. Xiao Che put away all the silver needles and let out a long breath. Under exhaustion, his brain suddenly felt dizzy, his body swayed, and his whole body fell directly on Xia Qingyue's naked back. An indescribable soft and smooth feeling came from his chest.

Xia Qingyue suddenly opened her eyes, and a flash of anger flashed in her eyes. She was about to use her strength to shake Xiao Che away, but suddenly she realized that his breath at this time was extremely weak... several times weaker than any previous time.

Xia Qingyue's profound power was immediately retracted, and she pushed Xiao Che away with only a little strength, then instantly pulled up her clothes, turned around and stretched out her hand to support Xiao Che's body, looking at him and said: "What's wrong with you?"

Xiao Che's face was pale and there was no trace of blood. His eyes were half open, as if he had lost the strength to open them completely. He shook his head slightly and said weakly: "It's okay... It's just that my strength and energy are a little... Overdrawn... Just let me rest for a while."

Xia Qingyue's eyes shook slightly, and a trace of pain that shouldn't have appeared in her heart again. After the first acupuncture for her, he was completely exhausted. And a single exhaustion may be relatively easy to repair. But in the past few days, he has to give her acupuncture every day, and for each needle, he has to use his most extreme profound energy. His body is weak to begin with, so how can he hold on to such continuous weakness... It is very likely that this will cause permanent damage to his body.

"... You don't need to fight so hard for me." Xia Qingyue said with a complicated look in her eyes.

Xiao Che grinned and laughed: "No, you are qualified... because you are my... my wife who was married to me by a matchmaker!"

Xia Qingyue: "..."

Xiao Che closed his eyes, slowly gathered his strength, and said in a very light voice: "Although, you married me only to repay my kindness and never regarded me as your husband. But I have no way not to regard you as my wife. Unless I divorce you, otherwise, being good to your woman is also one of the most basic responsibilities and dignity of a man..."

After saying these words, Xiao Che felt a warm feeling in his chest... Oh my! Even I was moved, I don't believe that you, a woman, don't feel anything at all!

For a long while, he didn't hear Xia Qingyue speak, opened his eyes, took a few breaths, and said with a pitiful look: "Qingyue, my wife, I may not be able to walk now. Can you... help me over there?"

His eyes pointed to the corner... where he slept.

Xia Qingyue glanced at the blanket on the floor, and the pain in her heart that shouldn't have been there deepened a little bit. She shook her head and turned to the bed: "You sleep on the bed, I'll sleep there."

Hearing this, Xiao Che immediately became anxious. He didn't know where he got the strength from, and reached out to grab Xia Qingyue's arm as quickly as possible: "No! Absolutely not! Although you are better than me in every aspect... But I am a man, you are a woman! As a man, how can I sleep on the bed and let a woman sleep on the floor! If you sleep there, I would rather sleep in the yard!"

The voice was very urgent, and it was even more resolute that could not be refuted. After saying that, he struggled to get up and pretended to get out of bed.

Xia Qingyue's face suddenly showed a complicated expression. She bit her teeth slightly, and finally made a decision after a brief struggle. She reached out and gently pushed Xiao Che's weak body inward, then pulled the red blanket over and covered herself and Xiao Che at the same time.

"Don't touch me." Xia Qingyue lay down on the outside of the bed, facing away from Xiao Che, so that he wouldn't see her expression at this moment.

Xiao Che smiled silently, and he quickly got into the most comfortable sleeping position, and closed his eyes beautifully: "Don't worry. With your profound power, even if I want to, I can't do anything to you... Huh, sleeping on the same bed... Only in this way can we be considered husband and wife..."

Xia Qingyue: "..."

"I'm so tired... Qingyue, my wife, I'm going to sleep first... Well, tomorrow I'll ask my aunt to make me a bowl of snow ginseng and hen soup to nourish me... Well..."

Xiao Che's voice became smaller and smaller, and when his voice completely fell, his breathing had become particularly stable... He had fallen asleep peacefully in excessive fatigue.

Xia Qingyue turned around quietly, looking at Xiao Che's face close at hand, her eyes trembling with extreme complexity...

Since she joined Frozen Cloud Palace, she had been determined to abstain from love and sex for the rest of her life, and she had never thought that one day she would sleep in the same bed with a man. She had always believed that she would never allow such a thing to happen. Before marrying Xiao Che, she would not even allow Xiao Che to touch her at all...

But now, she slept in the same bed with him, and in her heart, she did not feel too much unacceptable...

What happened to me? Was it because of the guilt she felt towards him?

Maybe...

Thinking in a confused manner, she fell asleep unconsciously. She did not realize that she could fall asleep so quickly even though there was a man lying next to her, which meant that in her subconscious, she had almost no vigilance or rejection towards Xiao Che.

This time, Xiao Che slept until noon before waking up. When he opened his eyes, Xia Qingyue was no longer by his side, and there was no trace of her in the room.

Although he had rested for a whole night, he still felt quite sore and weak. Xiao Che sat up, exhaled heavily, and said to himself: "If I continue like this, my body may collapse. I seem to be a little too stubborn."

"But only in this way can I let her take the initiative to find those three things for me."

Xiao Che got out of bed, changed his clothes, and when he took off his coat, he held the pendant hanging around his neck and was stunned for a short while... On the first day of his rebirth, the overlapping memories made him have a huge doubt about this pendant. Because in his previous life in Cangyun Continent, he also had a pendant on his neck, and it was exactly the same as the one he was wearing now! The pendant seemed to be made of silver, and it could be opened from the middle to reveal two small, smooth mirrors, but that was all, there was nothing else special.

In Cangyun Continent, his master told him that he was wearing this pendant on his neck when he was picked up. And the one he is wearing now is also the one he has been wearing since he can remember. Grandpa told him that this was something his father, Xiao Ying, had gotten from nowhere and had worn since he was born, and it was his father's relic.

Two lives... the same pendant... what's going on?

After changing his clothes, Xiao Che's consciousness entered the Sky Poison Pearl. In the emerald green world, the red-haired girl still kept her original posture and floated there quietly, with no sign of waking up at all.

In the past two days, he asked his grandfather and Xia Qingyue indirectly if there were people with red hair anywhere, and the answer he got was "never heard of it", which made Xiao Che more curious and confused about the identity of this girl. However, he did not tell anyone about the existence of this girl.

After changing into a light set of clothes and stretching his body, Xiao Che suddenly smelled an alluring and fresh fragrance, which made him drool instantly. Following the smell, he saw the soup pot on the table at a glance, rushed over quickly, opened the lid, and a stream of hot steam slowly rose with the tempting taste.

"Snow ginseng chicken soup... huh! My aunt is still the best!" Xiao Che suddenly felt hungry and picked up the chopsticks to eat crazily. When they were halfway through the meal, the door was pushed open, and Xiao Lingxi, dressed in light yellow, walked in. Seeing Xiao Che eating, she opened her lips and said, "Huh? Chicken soup? It smells so good! It seems to have the taste of snow ginseng. Xiao Che, who made the chicken soup for you? Humph, you didn't even tell me and ate it here by yourself!"

Xiao Lingxi's words made Xiao Che stunned: "Aunt, didn't you send this?"

"Of course not!" Xiao Lingxi said, her eyes suddenly became strange: "In this Xiao family, the only person who can make chicken soup for you, besides me, hum... it seems that it can only be your wife Qingyue! It seems that your relationship is quite good."

Xiao Lingxi's words clearly carried a sour taste. Xiao Che put down his chopsticks and whispered: "How could she... make chicken soup for me..."

This is not scientific at all!

"Hmph! I don't care who made it for you. You like chicken soup anyway, so just drink it all... I'm here to tell you that the Xiao Sect's people will arrive this afternoon. Now the entire Xiao Sect is preparing. You must be careful when the time comes. Don't offend anyone in the Xiao Sect by mistake." Xiao Lingxi said seriously.

"I know. At worst, I won't go out. They won't choose me anyway." Xiao Che replied indifferently.

"You can't stay at home." Xiao Lingxi shook her snow-white jade fingers at him and said seriously: "I heard from the Sect Master that the young master from the Xiao Sect will review all the people in our Xiao Sect... No one can be missing! Don't lose your manners when the time comes."

"Don't worry about that. My aunt knows that I'm always the most polite." Xiao Che replied with a smile, and then he lowered his head and started eating crazily.

"Okay. Then I'll go to my father's place to help first. If you have nothing to do after drinking the chicken soup, come over with me." Xiao Lingxi said, and then left.
