Chapter 211 - 211

Chapter 211 Candlelight Illuminates My Hair, Binding a Lifetime of TendernessBy the time all the guests and relatives had left, it was already evening.Yun Ting was already asleep in her room.Before leaving, Duan's mother pulled her son aside and whispered, "Be careful, don't hurt Xiaoyun. Also, go back for dinner later tomorrow, don't rush back early in the morning, let Xiaoyun sleep a little longer.""I see."Duan Xingye's ears turned red. When Duan's mother saw that her son was shy, she smiled and didn't say anything more before following her husband away.She had already filled the thermos with hot water and didn't bother with anything else.Yun Huai originally wanted to say a few words to his younger sister before leaving. He had only arrived today and was going back tomorrow. Li Man was pregnant and was vomiting badly. She had wanted to come over, but there was no other way, so Yun Huai had to come by himself.When Duan Xingye returned to the room, he saw Little girl sleeping in a very bold posture, taking up most of the bed. He couldn't help but chuckle.Seeing her pouting lips, sleeping soundly, I knew she was tired, so I didn't disturb her. Instead, I gently lay down in the little space left next to her and just watched her.I don't know when I fell asleep too.When I woke up, it was already dark outside.I glanced at the person next to me; they were still smacking their lips!Just as Duan Xingye was about to get up, the little girl snuggled into his arms and mumbled, "Sleep a little longer...""You're awake? I'll get up and see if there's anything to eat. Are you hungry?""Hmm...you go ahead, I'm going to sleep a little longer.""Little lazy pig…" Duan Xingye chuckled, pinched her nose, and then got up and left.There was still food warming in the pot in the kitchen, probably arranged by my mother, which made things convenient for them.He didn't need to cook; he went to take a shower first.Back in the room, Yun Ting heard the noise and opened her sleepy eyes to look at him. Duan Xingye really wanted to pounce on her, but Yun Ting's next words made him suppress his restlessness for the time being." Brother Xingye …I'm hungry." After saying that, she blinked at him.Duan Xingye saw the sly smile in her eyes and knew she was doing it on purpose."Okay, I'll 'feed' you later. Wash your face first."He emphasized the word "feed" on purpose. Yun Ting saw his ambiguous look and immediately realized what might have happened. Her face flushed slightly, and she dared not be presumptuous again.Duan Xingye poured warm water and personally used a towel to wipe her face.Red candles were lit in the room. Duan Xingyefelt that the girl in front of him looked unreal in the flickering candlelight. He had the feeling of seeing a beauty under the lamplight, which made his heart flutter.He gently stroked her face with his large, warm hand and murmured softly, "Did I marry a fairy?""Yes, from now on call me Little Fairy."Duan Xingye was about to lean in and kiss her when, suddenly, "gurgle gurgle...""I'm so hungry..."Duan Xingye buried his head in the crook of her neck and chuckled softly."Still laughing? Hurry up and go get something to eat.""Okay, I'll go right away."Duan Xingye brought over the food, and the two of them ate heartily together, as they were indeed very hungry.After finishing the meal, they didn't even bother to wash the dishes."I want to take a shower..." Yun Ting had just noticed that his gaze was becoming increasingly intense, and she was afraid that he would devour her alive in the next second."Okay, I'll go prepare some hot water."Yun Ting took a shower, and as soon as she came out, Duan Xingye, who was waiting outside, picked her up and carried her into the room."Hey! What's the rush?""I've been holding back for so long, now that I'm full, it's my turn.""Turn off the lights...""good…"The lights obediently went out, but then the red candles were lit again.The atmosphere inside the room became even more ambiguous and heated.The glow of red candles swayed gently on the carved window lattice, bathing the curtains in a warm orange hue.In the flickering candlelight, the tips of their intertwined fingers were damp with a thin layer of sweat, and their breaths gradually intertwined in the stillness, like red silk hanging from the eaves, silently enveloping the room in a romantic atmosphere."Good boy~ call him Brother Xingye.""Hoshino...brother...brother.""Say it again, okay?"" Brother Xingye …""One more time..."" Duan Xingye, get lost! Are you never going to stop?"...The two were entangled all night, exhausted, and finally finished as dawn broke.Before falling asleep, Yun Ting had only one thought in her mind: don't challenge a soldier, especially an "old man" who has been celibate for thirty years.I slept very soundly, and when I woke up, I didn't know what day it was, but the sunlight was shining into the window.Yun Ting nudged Duan Xingye, "Get up! What time is it? We have to go back to the old house later!"Duan Xingye hugged her tightly, "No rush, sleep a little longer...""No, I won't be able to face anyone then. Getting up so late, the elders will think too much.""Don't worry, no one will laugh at you. They've all been there. Yesterday, before Mom went back, she specifically told us not to go so early."Yun Ting felt embarrassed just thinking about it, and kicked him irritably, "It's all your fault..."Duan Xingye grabbed her little foot, immobilizing her. "Since you still have so much strength, shall we continue?"Before he finished speaking, he had already rolled over again, pinning the person in his arms beneath him, and lowered his head to kiss her."Ugh...no...no, get up, you haven't washed up yet!""Does Xiaoyun mean that washing up is enough?""Sure, sure? I'm exhausted and starving, stop messing around...""Does it still hurt?""It hurts, my whole body aches," Yun Ting said pitifully.Duan Xingye looked into her big, watery eyes as she spoke sweetly, and his heart melted completely."Let me massage it for you..."Duan Xingye actually started massaging her, with just the right amount of pressure. Yun Tingfelt so comfortable that she started to feel sleepy again. But just as she was drifting off to sleep, someone's hands started to wander again, and she woke up with a start." Duan Xingye, why are you like a wolf that can never be satisfied?""I can't resist when I see you. I've been holding back for thirty years, but once I start eating meat, I just can't stop!"The two of them snuggled and played around in bed for a while before getting up.Seeing that she was really exhausted and worried about her health, Duan Xingye didn't dare to continue.He personally helped Yun Ting get dressed and then fetched water for her to wash up."Honey, shall I help you comb and tie your hair?"Seeing his enthusiastic expression, Yun Tingdidn't want to spoil his fun, so she nodded in agreement.He helped Yun Ting sit in front of the dressing table, and carefully combed through Yun Ting'shair with his fingertips. His movements were not very skilled, but they were exceptionally gentle. He didn't even pull on her tangled hair, showing great care.He clumsily gathered his hair behind his left neck, smoothing out the stray strands with his fingertips. When braiding the three-strand braid, he would occasionally make a mistake, but he patiently unraveled and re-braided it. Finally, he gently tied the end with a hair tie, and didn't forget to pull the braid towards her shoulder to make the curve fit her neckline better.Yun Ting raised her hand to touch it. The braid was tight but not constricting, and the ends of her hair hung just right at her collarbone. When she turned to look at him, she caught him staring at the ends of her hair, his eyes filled with undisguised smugness."What are you looking at? This is nothing to me. Do you want me to draw your eyebrows?"Yun Ting was worried that they might draw her eyebrows like two caterpillars, and just imagining that made her shake her head in fright, "No need..."
