Qin Yining prepared herself mentally. She gritted her teeth and pushed the door open. Before she could enter the room, a large hand wrapped around her and held her tightly in his arms.
The door closed behind her with a creak, and the world spun around her. Her back was against the cold wall, and a hot body pressed against her. Before she could speak, her lips were fiercely sealed.
Pang Xiao's mouth tasted slightly bitter, but more than that, there was a scorching heat that could burn her. Qin Yining felt as though she was on fire. She felt as though all the bones in her body had been pulled out. If it weren't for Pang Xiao's arms supporting her, she would have collapsed.
The lights had already been blown out, so the room was dark. Only the sounds of kissing and heavy breathing could be heard. One of Pang Xiao's hands pressed against the back of her head to prevent her from shrinking away, while the other hand was stroking her slender back.
They didn't separate until both of them felt as though they couldn't breathe.
She wrapped her arms around his neck and panted as she looked at the handsome face in front of her. She said in a low voice, "Pang Zhixi."
It was the first time she had called him by his courtesy name in such a tone.
Two clusters of fire ignited in Pang Xiao's eyes. "Hmm," he murmured in her ear.
Qin Yining buried her face in his neck and whispered, "It would be great if you didn't have to go back."
Pang Xiao's heart felt as though it had been fiercely kneaded. The romantic feelings he had just now were completely shattered, and all that was left was pity and guilt for her.
Pang Xiao held her tightly in his arms and kissed her forehead sincerely.
"Everything will be fine. There will be a day when we can be together."
Qin Yining nodded, but she still felt sad when she thought of Qin Huaiyuan and the Sun Clan, as well as Yuchi Yan and Li Yanyan. However, she was an extremely rational person. She wouldn't ask for anything easily.
Pang Xiao was sensitive enough to feel that she was in low spirits. He thought for a moment and asked, "Are you worried about your father?"
Qin Yining nodded in agreement.
Pang Xiao said, "It is indeed dangerous when the battlefield is in chaos. I will arrange for the four Jinghu Wei to protect Father-in-law. Don't worry, as long as I can control the situation, I will not let anything happen to Father-in-law."
Qin Yining nodded obediently.
Pang Xiao could not help but narrow his eyes when he saw that she was still depressed.
She recalled that before the Sun Clan came, she was still fine, but after chatting with the Sun Clan for a while, she became sad. Pang Xiao was a very smart person, and he knew the things around these important people like the back of his hand. Thinking that Qin Huaiyuan was accompanied by an extremely beautiful woman in the outer city military camp, he guessed a few things.
Pang Xiao said tentatively, "If you marry me, I promise that I won't take any concubines, sleep with maids, or drink with prostitutes. I will only have you, okay?"
Qin Yining was startled by his sudden promise. She looked up at him in surprise, "You … are really strange. Why did you suddenly say this?"
Pang Xiao saw her expression and knew that he guessed right. This silly girl was unhappy because of the matter between Qin Huaiyuan and the Sun Clan. He pinched her white cheeks in amusement, "Don't you like it?"
Qin Yining blushed and stared at him again. She couldn't hide the joy in her watery eyes. She said insincerely, "That's true, but isn't it normal for you men to have three wives and four concubines? Even if you don't bring them home, you can still have them when you socialize and play with them. "
Pang Xiao laughed when he heard that, "I didn't expect that you have already thought about our future."
Qin Yining realized what she had said. She blushed and turned to walk into the room.
Pang Xiao chased after her and said with a smile, "I am very happy that you think this way. You have suffered so much for me. If I don't treat you well, wouldn't I be too inhumane? What's more, to you, I'm like, 'Once you've crossed the vast ocean, you can't be considered water. Apart from Mount Wu, you can't be a cloud.' "
Pang Xiao followed her footsteps and sat down on the bed with her.
Qin Yining said, "You only know how to coax people with sweet words."
"I've never been good at coaxing people," Pang Xiao said seriously. "A real man never goes back on his word."
His seriousness made Qin Yining a little uncomfortable.
She got up and went to the closet to get a pillow and a thin blanket, saying, "Get some rest. You sleep here. I will go outside. "
Pang Xiao saw that she was blushing and trying to change the topic. He smiled and did not pursue the matter. He took the pillow and put it on the bed, saying, "It doesn't matter whether you believe me or not. You don't have to remember what I said. You just have to see what I will do in the future."
As he spoke, he pressed Qin Yining down on the bed and said, "You sleep on the bed, and I will sleep on the footrest. This way, we can talk."
"You still have a fever. How can I let you sleep on the footrest?"
"Do you think I enjoyed life in the army? I slept in straw huts and horse pens. It was good enough to sleep on a footrest. " Pang Xiao smiled as he took a mattress and laid it on the footrest outside the bed. He placed the pillow on one side and lay down straight. He could not help but let out a sigh of comfort.
"You have been tired all day. It is more comfortable to lie down."
Qin Yining sat on the edge of the bed. She could not help but feel sorry for him when she saw how he curled up his legs and did not dare to turn over.
"Why don't you get on the bed?"
Pang Xiao's eyes widened when he heard this. He slowly propped himself up and looked at her.
Qin Yining's face was hot, but she kept a straight face and said, "Don't think too much. What I mean is that this bed is so big. We can even put a small table in the middle. You can sleep on the outside. If someone comes, it will be easy for you to hide. Although it is summer now, there is still wind on the ground. You are injured and have a fever. Do you want to get worse by sleeping on the ground? "
Pang Xiao smiled and said, "Then I'll accept your offer."
Qin Yining glared at him. She took off her shoes and got on the bed. She moved the pillow and mattress to the inside and placed the small table in the middle.
Pang Xiao took the pillow and placed it on the outside. He placed the mattress under his feet as well. Only then did he put down the gauze curtains on the inside and outside of the bed. He then placed their shoes side by side. He lowered his head and looked at her beautiful and exquisite soft-soled embroidered shoes next to his black boots. His heart was filled with sweetness.
Pang Xiao blew out the light and slowly lay down.
The light and delicate fragrance on the mattress was unique to Qin Yining. There seemed to be the fragrance of jasmine in her hair on the pillow. Pang Xiao slowly turned over and buried his face in the thin blanket. He took a deep breath and couldn't help but laugh, "People say that daughters are made of water, but my baby is made of flowers. Just sleeping next to you makes my nose fill with fragrance."
Qin Yining was lying on her side with her back to him. Although there was a small table in the middle, his voice seemed to be right next to her ear. She closed her eyes tightly and didn't know how to answer him.
Pang Xiao didn't wait for her to answer. He smiled and said, "I will remember today. This is the first time we sleep together."
Qin Yining frowned and thought to herself, "This is too awkward."
A large hand fell on her head.
Pang Xiao gently scratched her scalp. A soft and numb feeling instantly spread throughout her body.
He gently pinched her earlobe lovingly and said softly, "Baby, sweet dreams."
Qin Yining closed her eyes. Although her face was red and her heart was beating fast, she was extremely happy.
She thought that she would have insomnia, but this night, she slept more peacefully than ever. Even the nightmares that had troubled her for a long time didn't disturb her.
When she woke up, the spot beside her was empty.
Qin Yining woke up with a start.
Did he leave?
