After provoking the holy maiden of Miao territory, she was infected with a love curse.

The bustling scenic area quiets down during the day, with only the chirping of insects in the air.

Yin Huaixi thought that with such a madman by her side, she wouldn't be able to sleep all night.

But then, the moment his head touched the pillow...

Yin Huaixi, relieved of his exhaustion, slept soundly, oblivious to the world around him.

Sang Che, however, couldn't fall asleep despite being covered with a thin blanket.

She had been asleep for over a thousand years, yet she wasn't sleepy at all; Sang Che's heart was already filled with joy.

She wanted to savor the days when Huaixi was still by her side, a time she had "lost and found."

Reaching out to touch her skin, Sang Che confirmed that his cold ailment had not flared up before he dared to cautiously approach the sleeping Yin Huaixi.

She knew that Yin Huaixi disliked her because she was always cold back in Fengming Mountain, and now, thinking back, he must be even more averse to her.

The person beside him was already breathing softly, and Sang Che couldn't help but chuckle.

Huai Xi is really...

He kept saying he was worried she wasn't a good person, but he slept next to a "bad guy" without any guard.

Aren't you worried about what she might do to you?

With her eyes shrouded in darkness, Sang Che's other senses were amplified, and she could clearly smell the faint fragrance emanating from the clothes Yin Huaixi had given her.

It smells the same as... Huai Xi's.

It felt like a Gu worm had been marked, and she was imbued with Huai Xi's scent and mark.

She was also someone who cherished Xi.

But this was still not enough to satisfy Sang Che, who had been lonely for over a thousand years.

She reached out and hugged Yin Huaixi's waist, pressing her whole body against Yin Huaixi's back. Sang Che buried her nose in Yin Huaixi's neck and took a deep breath.

I have absolutely no intention of sleeping.

Yin Huaixi, who was being held, did not struggle. The two of them were squeezed together and it was a bit stuffy, but fortunately, Sang Che's body was cool and refreshing, which dispelled the stuffiness.

Yin Huaixi hugged Sang Che even tighter, wishing she could burrow into his arms. Her messy long hair covered her beautiful face.

Sang Che endured Yin Huaixi's restless whimpers.

A good night's sleep.

...

Because she needed to check on Nuo Qianqian's condition in the morning, Yin Huaixi set her alarm for 6 a.m. before going to sleep.

The phone buzzed and woke Yin Huaixi up.

She had already gone to bed late last night, and now she had dark circles under her eyes, looking very haggard.

Just as Yin Huaixi was about to get up, before she could even lift her leg, she realized something was wrong.

Wait…it looks like there’s something on her lower abdomen!

I dared not touch anything indiscriminately, for fear of touching something I shouldn't.

Yin Huaixi had no choice but to free her hands and carefully lift the blanket, her gaze falling in surprise.

Long, slender fingers were wrapped around her abdomen, and those hands were also restlessly lifting her clothes and tugging at her fabric.

Frustrated, Yin Huaixi closed her eyes, and all the events of the previous night flooded into her mind.

She has attracted a female ghost she cannot afford to offend, so she must be extremely careful in everything she does.

Yin Huaixi held her breath and pinched Sang Che's wrist with her fingers, trying to remove Sang Che's hands that were firmly binding her waist.

However, the ideal is very full, but the reality is very skinny. After Yin Huaixi went through all kinds of hardships, he was so anxious that he was sweating profusely.

After much difficulty, they managed to lift Sang Che's wrist a little, and then the guy opened his eyes.

A wisp of warm breath hit her neck, and Yin Huaixi froze, almost kicking Sang Che off the bed.

"Huaixi...you're awake?"

Yin Huaixi: "..."

Yin Huaixi: "You already know, why are you still asking? Then... let me go right now, I have things to do."

Yin Huaixi really didn't know whether to put Sang Che's claws back or slap them away to avoid seeing them.

"I'll go with you."

Yin Huaixi was speechless, never expecting Sang Che to make such a shameless suggestion.

"Will you come with me?"

"Sang Che, you haven't forgotten who threw Qianqian like that, have you?"

"It's your stinky snake."

When Sang Che heard Yin Huaixi utter the words "stinky snake," he couldn't help but laugh.

Sang Che: "Huai Xi, you never liked Xiao Ya'er before, and you haven't changed now."

Yin Huaixi: "?"

It's probably inappropriate to call that snake Little Tooth anymore!

There's no snake that big, and its name even has the word "small" in it. If you didn't know better, you'd think it was a small snake!

Furthermore, is it human nature to be afraid of snakes?

Only someone like Sang Che, who seems to want to sleep with Gu worms all day long, thinks that snakes, centipedes, and other poisonous insects are not scary.

Yin Huaixi: "Anyway, you just stay in the guesthouse and I'll come back after I make sure Qianqian is alright."

"I won't leave you alone."

After observing last night, Yin Huaixi was certain that Sang Che's personality was similar to that of the protagonist in the book she had read.

But they are not exactly the same.

This guy lacks a sense of security, is extremely clingy, has a strong possessive nature, and also has a strong...sexual desire.

As for why he has this personality, we have to mention that Yin Huaixi himself is just too nosy and has to find this type of book to read!

Knowing that trying to persuade Yin Huaixi to stay would displease her, Sang Che didn't say anything more.

...

I've finished washing up.

Yin Huaixi changed her clothes and rushed out the door.

Before she left, she made sure to prepare instant noodles for Sang Che and added, "I don't know if you're pretending to be blind or if you really are."

"Anyway, getting some noodles shouldn't be a problem, right?"

Smelling the rich aroma of instant noodles, Sang Che nodded obediently, but her blank look made Yin Huaixi really worried.

Just as I was thinking of waiting for Sang Che to finish eating before going out, a butterfly fell from the lid of Sang Che's instant noodles without me noticing.

It was clearly used by Sang Che as "eyes".

Sang Che: "Huai Xi, don't worry about me. I can handle this little thing."

The more she said that, the more worried Yin Huaixi became, staring intently at Sang Che.

Yin Huaixi didn't know what had gotten into her, but she actually started to feel pity for the woman in front of her.

"Fine, it won't take long to eat instant noodles, I'll feed you."

Pulling over a chair, Yin Huaixi sat down, clearly intending to give the man a cold shoulder while washing his underwear.

Reaching out to grab the fork from the instant noodles, Yin Huaixi opened the container, stirred the noodles with the fork, and brought it to her lips.

He said, "This kind of noodle is called instant noodles, or ramen. You can drink it in the time it takes to brew a cup of tea with hot water."

"You don't need to cook or do anything."

Feeling the scalding noodles at her lips, Sang Che parted her thin lips slightly, biting down on the beige plastic fork and holding the noodles in her mouth.

He moved closer to Yin Huaixi.

It was clear that Sang Che was about to lose his temper again.

Yin Huaixi pulled back, but this time, Yin Huaixi miscalculated.

She didn't pull the instant noodle fork back.

Sang Che reached out and took it, gently tapping Yin Huaixi's hand with his fingertips. Her voice was muffled: "Huaixi, I can take care of myself."

"You don't need to be distracted by me."

Not wanting his wife to worry was a rule that Sang Che kept firmly in mind.

The plastic fork in his hand was taken away, and Sang Che ate the noodles slowly, but he didn't spill a single drop.

Looking at Sang Che's long hair falling loose.

Yin Huaixi's heart softened for some reason.

Why did she suddenly feel that Sang Che, who had threatened her last night, was also... also quite pitiful?

She reached out and, before Yin Huaixi could react, had already tidied up Sang Che's long hair.

Feeling the warmth on his neck, Sang Che smiled at Yin Huaixi while eating his instant noodles.

Huaixi still couldn't bear to part with her.
