Dong Gong Mei

Chapter 492 I will protect myself

After leaving the palace gate, it was already midnight.

Zhao Xiwei was so tired that he couldn't open his eyes as soon as he boarded the carriage, so he fell asleep on Li Xuanye's lap.

After returning to the East Palace, after cleaning his hands and changing clothes, he lay down on the bed again, and his sleepiness subsided by half.

She turned over and finally realized something was wrong.

After coming out of the palace, he has been silent all the time, even if they are sleeping together now, he is indifferent.

He was lying on his back on the pillow, with one arm still around her waist as before, his attitude could not be called alienation, but it was definitely not enthusiasm.

It was the first time, without any tenderness...

Thinking back to what happened in the palace, Zhao Xiwei's heart moved, and he took the initiative to press against his shoulder, and rubbed it lightly.

Li Xuanye's arms tightened, and with a little force around her waist, he pulled her into his arms.

Really didn't sleep.

Zhao Xiwei leaned on his body, his eyes covered his face like a veil, with a vague search.

Li Xuanye put his palm on her shoulder and opened his eyes: "What are you looking at?"

His eyes are calm, his tone is calm, nothing is wrong.

But something is wrong!

The two of them have shared the same bed for so long, no one knows better than her what his expression looks like in private.

Gentle, warm, passionate, active...

But there is absolutely no such peace of mind!

Zhao Xi stretched out his arms slightly, wrapped his arms around his neck lightly, and sized him up again.

Li Xuanye let her look at this way, waited for a while, and saw that she hadn't planned to look away, so he raised his eyebrows and said, "Haven't seen enough?" He touched her neckline, and immediately let out a low laugh, "Wei'er is not afraid that he won't be able to get up tomorrow?"

"..."

Zhao Xi lowered his head slightly, his face blushed, and he immediately fell down, taking advantage of the situation to lie on his chest, completely covering the ray of spring light.

But this kind of close contact has a bit of flirtatious meaning...

A touch of heat surged into her heart, His Highness the Crown Prince's eyes narrowed, the coldness between his brows and eyes quickly faded, the finger on her shoulder subconsciously slid, and slipped into the nape of her neck against her clothes.

Zhao Xiwei gasped involuntarily.

I don't know if it's because she's already familiar with his touch, or he's already understood her feelings, but such a bland movement made her stiffen reflexively.

There were thin calluses on his fingertips, and the temperature of his palm was slightly higher than her skin, just sticking to her back like this, made her want to get close and stay away.

Li Xuanye was obviously also aware of her reaction, chuckled lowly, and said, "It turns out that Wei'er is greedy for Gu's beauty!"

Zhao Xiwei was amused by him, and for a moment he forgot about his previous strangeness, and just leaned on him and said, "I'm going to sleep!"

In the past, he would not have let her go so easily, but now, as soon as she finished speaking, the palm attached to her back was pulled out, and he hooked her waist again: "Then go to sleep!"

The strange feeling that Zhao Xiwei just went down came up again.

She lifted the quilt, leaned against his arm, rested her chin on his shoulder, and looked at him for a moment.

"how?"

This man can really hold his breath...

Zhao Xiwei stood up slightly, and still took the initiative to speak: "You have something on your mind to hide from me..."

Li Xuanye's eyes moved.

Zhao Xiwei immediately confirmed his guess.

"Li Xuanye..." She called softly, stretched out her hands, held his face, and stared at him with affection in her eyes: "You said that we are husband and wife, we are both hurt and we are both prosperous ..."

Her tone was soft and affectionate, full of a wife's love for her husband, "I remember every sentence and every word you said..."

Li Xuanye met her crystal-clear eyes, and there seemed to be a string in his heart, which suddenly tightened, and there was a "clang", which shook his chest with a slight pain.

Under the gaze of such a pair of eyes, he saw his own face reflected in her star-like pupils, making it impossible for him to avoid and hide.

"Don't worry, Wei'er." Suppressing the complicated emotions in his heart, he smiled slightly and said, "Every word I said to you is also in my heart, and I will never forget it."

His fingertips caressed her lips: "Liu Jishan said that empty promises are easy, but taking risks with one's life is rare. I said he was childish and reckless, and refused to fight him—do you know why?"

Zhao Xi smiled: "Because I don't need anyone to die for me!"

She held his finger, put it on her lips, and looked at him with bright eyes: "I will not put myself in danger, even if it inevitably happens, I will definitely find a way to save myself. I will not waste my time People butchered you, and then dragged you into a desperate situation..."

Her tone was firm and confident: "I will not wait for someone to save me, I will protect myself and never allow such a thing to happen..."

Before she finished speaking, Li Xuanye pressed the corner of her lips.

"I won't let this kind of thing happen—" He stared at her with a gentle tone: "If there is such a day, you have to believe that I will definitely come to save you..."

"Li Xuanye..." Zhao Xiwei couldn't help calling out.

"Ok?"

But after calling out this sentence, she suddenly didn't know what to say, and was stunned for a while.

She has never had any faith in men's love, no, it should be said that she has no expectations for all the emotions in the world.

The relationship between parents is arranged by God, and she has no choice.

As for marrying him, even though she has more than half the right to choose, it is not an active choice made out of deep affection, but a trade-off of interests in desperation...

She lived so long, she never expected that someone would give her something for no reason.

She was forced to learn to protect her biological mother when she was a child, and she was forced to learn to protect herself when she grew up.

In her thinking, there was never any reason to wait for others to save her. She had to rely on her own strength to live well, so she was always striving for something that was beneficial to herself.

In order to recognize her ancestors and return to her family, she can kneel in the rain regardless of her image; in order to gain a foothold in the Zhao family, she can risk her life to fight against vicious dogs;

But after meeting him, everything seemed to have changed.

Only then did she realize that she could also be like those little girls, who could be vulnerable, cry, act like a baby, and make trouble for no reason...

Seeing her pursing her lips and being speechless for a while, he raised his hand to rub against her lips, and said in a low voice, "What are you thinking?"

Zhao Xi looked down at him slightly, and suddenly smiled.

Li Xuanye lay on his back on the pillow, and asked again: "What are you laughing at?"

The last word was still in his throat, and his lips suddenly felt hot.

She leaned down and took the initiative to kiss him, soft and lingering: "You are so kind, I like you..."

The person on the bed flipped his arms, and quickly pressed her under him: "That Wei'er can like more!"
