C26 Qin Yubing Wanted to Flip the Table Again
He did not know that the touch of skin to skin was so wonderful and comfortable. Closer, not close enough. He pressed the man's body against his, holding him tight until every inch of skin they could touch seemed to merge together, as if that wasn't enough, and he wanted to press him into himself. He laid his head in a comfortable position, rested it on his shoulder, and breathed deeply in the cool, rain-washed smell of his body. The pain, uneasiness, and loss all disappeared in the warm and fresh scent. Sheng Xueyin relaxed and began to slowly recover.
As his consciousness gradually recovered, his vision also recovered. What entered his eyes was a face that was slightly gloomy, but his facial features were still attractive. Sheng Xueyin began to notice that his hands and feet were entwined with his, as if afraid that he would slip away. His shirt had already retreated to his waist, and the skin on his chest was tightly pressed against his opponent. Seeing himself acting so unrestrained, Sheng Xueyin blushed and closed his eyes in embarrassment. He did not move for a quarter of an hour, trying his best to recall what had happened the night before.
Slowly, he let go of one of his hands and carefully lifted one of his legs. He pulled out one of Qu Lingjing's hands from under his head, pulled out the other leg that was wrapped around his body, and sat up with his hand on his forehead. He turned around and saw that the man was still in a deep sleep, and his face turned red again.
Sheng Xueyin carefully pulled up the blanket for Qu Lingjing, put on his clothes, looked back at the person on the bed, and once again quietly went to the lake to recover his reason before the morning dew melted.
In the water, Sheng Xueyin submerged himself in the water and dived for a quarter of an hour. After walking a few steps ashore, he seemed to have thought of something. His expression changed slightly, and he turned around and jumped back into the water...
It was almost noon when Sheng Xueyin, who was meditating by the lake, suddenly heard Qin Yubing's thousand-mile voice transmission. His tone was anxious.
"Martial Uncle, where are you?"
"By the lake. What's the matter?" Sheng Xueyin replied.
Qin Yubing didn't answer, and after a while, someone ran up to him.
"Martial Uncle, what's wrong with Qing? Why isn't he awake yet? Is he sick?"
Sheng Xueyin lowered his eyes and searched for the answer.
"Martial Uncle, he's here. Don't you care what happens to him? He's been here for two days, but you still haven't found anything wrong?" Qin Yubing was so anxious that he had forgotten his etiquette.
Before he could reply Qin Yubing, Sheng Xueyin disappeared from where he stood with a flash.
"Sigh, Martial Uncle, wait for me."
When Qu Lingjing woke up this time, he found that not only was Qin Yubing waiting for him, but even the man he had only seen at night was beside him. As soon as he woke up, Qin Yubing's expression changed from listless to full of life, and his smile was like a spring flower.
"I'm awake, I'm awake."
Qu Lingjing felt the pain in his mouth. Could it be the Essence Qi Pill that Qin Yubing had mentioned?
"Qing, why are you sick? Is it really that bad?"
Qu Lingjing glanced at Sheng Xueyin. Guessing that he didn't say anything to Qin Yubing, he turned to Qin Yubing and said, "Isn't it just that bad?"
Qin Yubing sighed. "I was going to take you to see our apprenticeship ceremony tomorrow."
As soon as he heard about the apprenticeship ceremony, Qu Lingjing's eyes lit up. He grabbed Qin Yubing's arm and said, "Don't worry, I won't be so dissatisfied tomorrow. I want to go and take a look. It's a pity to miss such a scene."
"There's nothing to see." It wasn't Qin Yubing who had said this, but Sheng Xueyin.
"Immortal Sage, it's true that there's nothing special about you, but I'm just a pawn of the Devil Realm and haven't seen much of the market. If I can see it once, wouldn't I be able to return to the Devil Clan and boast about it?"
"You can't get up." Sheng Xueyin's words choked Qu Lingjing back. It was not a question but a sentence.
Qu Lingjing looked at Sheng Xueyin's cold face and didn't bother to reason with him. Instead, she turned to Qin Yubing and said, "Yubing, come and wake me up early tomorrow. No matter what method you use, wake me up. Don't you still have those Essence Qi Pills? Give me a few more."
Qin Yubing pursed his lips in displeasure. "If you're so eager to go to the apprenticeship ceremony, do you want to see that Xin-something girl?"
As soon as he heard Qin Yubing's words, Qu Lingjing suddenly felt that this was a good opportunity for the female lead to show her presence in front of the male lead. It might even interest Sheng Xueyin.
"Xin Lianyue, that's one reason. I really want to see her again."
Qin Yubing's face fell. "What's so good about her?"
Qin Yubing was so excited that he dared to say anything. Qu Lingjing was so embarrassed that she was dumbstruck. Sheng Xueyin didn't say a word, as if he was watching a good show.
"Yubing, I-I was young and inexperienced. I didn't know what true love was."
Qin Yubing stood up abruptly. "You! You!" Without another word, he turned and ran out of the door. He had only taken two or three steps when he came back in a huff. He threw a bag of pastries on the ground and ran off like a frog.
Qu Lingjing didn't see Sheng Xueyin's reaction the entire time, but when she saw Qin Yubing's reaction, she couldn't help but feel confused. She turned to Sheng Xueyin and asked, "What's wrong with him? Why are you angry?"
Sheng Xueyin glanced at Qu Lingjing. His expression made Qu Lingjing feel that he had indeed done something wrong, and he panicked.
"Do you really want to go and take a look?" Sheng Xueyin asked.
"I really want to go. Why do I sound so insincere?"
"I'll take you there. Remember to hide your face."
Qu Lingjing had been trying to guess what Sheng Xueyin was thinking. His words made her happy for a moment, and in her heart, she scolded Qin Yubing again. Hmph, you little friend who doesn't know who you are. If you don't take me there, someone else will.
That night, Sheng Xueyin's poison flared up. Qu Lingjing only lasted for two hours before fainting. Perhaps it was because the amount of demonic poison in Sheng Xueyin's body had decreased, or perhaps it was because Sheng Xueyin was slowly beginning to have some autonomic resistance to the poison, but the time it took for Sheng Xueyin to recover began to shorten. As much as he could, he still needed to hold Qu Lingjing in his arms to recover. Furthermore, this need did not decrease because of the decrease in the demonic Qi. Instead, it became even more uncontrollable. Qu Lingjing did not know about all these changes.
Sheng Xueyin did not leave like the last few times. Instead, he hugged Qu Lingjing like a greedy child hugging his beloved toy and refused to let go. His hand gently caressed his face, brushing away the hair on his forehead. His fingers gently caressed his handsome face. He stared at him for a long time, unwilling to leave.
