Chapter 1233: Chapter 1224: The Approaching Storm (2)
Until Bo Yan completely let go, until his breath became unsteady and his clothes were somehow disheveled by her, this guy just sat on his leg squirming, deliberately teasing him.
After finishing the squirming, Bo Yan’s voice was a bit husky: "It’s getting late, why don’t we..."
Xia Siyu then displayed her "claws", still sitting on his leg, twisting her waist a bit, intentionally or unintentionally brushing against him, making Bo Yan’s breathing become chaotic. But she only smiled mischievously, hooked his neck with one hand, and with the other, traced his lip corner with her fingertip: "That won’t do. Haven’t showered yet."
She did it on purpose; this man is ticklish, and she wanted to retaliate! Her way of retaliation was to slam the brakes just as he was sprinting with great enthusiasm! Who told this rascal to bully her? In any case, he’s the one who’s uncomfortable in the end. That’s what you get for bullying!
Of course, Bo Yan was not willing to let go, but Xia Siyu was clearly prepared, quickly darting away before he could force her. Unfortunately, her previous position was not conducive to running away, with one foot barely touching the floor before Bo Yan pulled her back. This guy knew how to bend and stretch, seeing that she couldn’t escape, he began to plead: "My lord, my lord, this lady knows her mistake! It’s all my heartless cousin’s fault; once again he deceived me, boohoohoo."
Bo Yan was both amused and exasperated. He lowered his head and said in her ear: "This is the fifth cousin, how many good brothers does this young lady’s family have?"
Xia Siyu answered shamelessly and loudly: "My family only has one good brother, and his name is Bo Yan."
Bo Yan shook his head helplessly: "You, you." He pulled her up, embraced her in his arms, listened to her heartbeat, and said no more.
Actually, his previous antics also had a purpose of dispelling her mental demons. Although Xia Siyu seemed carefree, she was still a girl. Jiang Bumei’s actions were lacking this time, merely threatening her with things about her being unspoken rules.
What if next time she doesn’t reason and directly kidnaps Xia Siyu to harm her?
Xia Siyu is very strong; she might not fall, she might even stand up and point out the culprit. But she was still bullied, wasn’t she? When she’s bullied, he gets angrier than her.
So, seizing the opportunity, they must crush Jiang Bumei, nip the bud in the cradle. Jiang Bumei is just a mouse, but Xia Siyu is a jade vase; he doesn’t want to hurt the jade vase while catching the mouse.
She doesn’t need to pretend to be calm; he wants her to know that no matter what, there’s always someone behind her supporting her, understanding her. He likes to see her smile, doesn’t want this sunshine to be overshadowed by any cloud.
Xia Siyu actually knows, as she leans against Bo Yan, breathing heavily, feeling his temperature, breathing, and heartbeat, only then does she feel vitality and energy.
Some say home is a harbor. Actually, between her and Bo Yan, no one is anyone’s harbor, just two people moving forward together in darkness, where the distant road is unseen; even if encountering undercurrents, whirlpools, reefs, or grounding, they can always support each other.
This time too, as long as she sees him, she can let go of all vigilance. No matter if what’s ahead is a Mountain of Knives or a Sea of Fire, she would rush forward with a smile!
After a long time, Xia Siyu said muffled into his shoulder: "Hubby."
Bo Yan responded with an "hm", turned his head to look at her, Xia Siyu raised her head again, and kissed his chin: "I love you very much."
