“All right, all right, stop crying.”
As the sun sank below the horizon, a man and a dragon sat on the ground. Ye Shu gently wiped the tears from Ao Xue’s face and consoled her in a soft voice. “See? I’m perfectly fine.”
“But—but you almost died!”
Ao Xue’s eyes were red as she argued back, still shaken by what had happened.
“I’ll never feed you pills again. I’m sorry. I really never thought…” She lowered her head. “I’m sorry…”
He really had almost died.
The corner of Ye Shu’s mouth twitched, and a dull ache still lingered in his chest.
But seeing how guilt-ridden Ao Xue looked, he forced a smile and comforted her. “I was only joking with you. I was just pretending to be dead.”
“Pretending to be dead?”
Ao Xue froze for a moment. “You weren’t lying to me?”
“Of course not.”
Ye Shu nodded and looked at her with utmost seriousness. “It was even more genuine than Ding Zhen.”
Ye Shu had expected her to get angry.
Instead, Ao Xue rubbed her reddened eyes, sniffed, then looked up at him. Her voice carried a hint of grievance as she said softly, “Then you’re not allowed to joke like that ever again. You really scared me half to death just now.”
“I promise!”
Ye Shu immediately agreed.
Only then did Ao Xue stand up, still looking somewhat unconvinced. The haughty expression she had worn earlier gradually returned to her face.
“Hmph! This time, I’ll forgive you because I’m in a good mood.”
“But next time, it won’t be so simple.”
“I’ll torment you with the most terrifying, most vicious, most humiliating methods imaginable. I’ll make you beg for death and beg for life!”
She waved her arms menacingly, trying to maintain her dignity.
Unfortunately, the two tear tracks that had yet to dry on her little face completely ruined the effect.
Ye Shu: holding back laughter
Seeing this, Ao Xue immediately grew irritated.
What an awful man! She had been so worried about him, and she had even given him her precious first kiss. Yet this fellow didn’t possess even the slightest bit of gratitude!
Not even the slightest bit!
Ao Xue was furious—and the consequences were going to be severe.
Her large eyes spun mischievously as a devious idea instantly took shape in her mind.
She lightly stepped into the middle of the courtyard.
Then, seemingly from nowhere, she produced a bamboo chair and sat down on it in an elegant manner. Crossing one leg over the other, she beckoned to Ye Shu.
“Come here.”
Ye Shu hesitated for a moment before obediently walking over.
Ao Xue raised her snow-white chin and issued her command with great arrogance. “Now, kneel down.”
After Ye Shu knelt, she raised her right foot high.
The crystal-clear shoe hanging from her toes slipped loose, dangling precariously as though it might fall at any moment. Ao Xue extended her foot toward Ye Shu. Her meaning was obvious.
Ye Shu stared at the snow-white jade foot and swallowed.
He forced his gaze away and asked, “This isn’t something I did to you before, is it?”
At his words, Ao Xue sneered inwardly.
Of course it wasn’t.
She was the dignified Dragon Girl. How could she possibly do something so shameless? What a ridiculous thought!
She had added this one herself.
After all, this was revenge. And when it came to revenge, adding a few personal touches was only proper.
“Just do as you’re told. Why are you asking so many questions?”
Ao Xue impatiently extended her foot, placing it directly in front of Ye Shu.
“This…”
Ye Shu swallowed again before speaking. “I must make one thing clear beforehand. I don’t want to do this at all. You’re forcing me to.”
“Hmph! So what if I am?”
Ao Xue snorted coldly. Crossing her legs, she used her foot to hook up his chin.
“If you weren’t being forced, I wouldn’t be interested!”
At last, Ye Shu seemed to resign himself to his fate. He lowered his head and took hold of that naturally flawless foot, white as polished jade. Then…
“Eek!”
Ao Xue, who had been reclining in the bamboo chair, suddenly let out a sharp shriek. Her entire body shuddered, and she instantly yanked her foot back like a bolt of lightning. After wiping away the moisture on it, she glared furiously at the bewildered Ye Shu through flushed cheeks and clenched her teeth.
“What the hell are you doing?”
“Wasn’t that what you wanted me to do…?”
Ye Shu stared at her blankly.
“I told you to rub my foot! Rub my foot, you idiot!” Ao Xue glared at him in exasperation, her cheeks burning bright red. “Who told you to… Who told you to…”
“So that wasn’t what I thought?”
Ye Shu lowered his head in disappointment and waved his hand listlessly. “What other tricks do you have? Bring them all out.”
You bastard, what exactly are you disappointed about?
Ao Xue stared at him speechlessly, losing all interest in continuing their game. She straightened up, touched her flushed lips, and suddenly said,
“I want you… to give me a dragon heir.”
