Quick Transmigration: Irresistible Beauty-Chapter 153: Loyal Maid Who Died Because of Beauty (23)
The blood stains dripped on Pei He's robe where no one could see them, just like no one cared about his injured self at this moment.
Looking at Yue Ran, who still did not give in, Lu Heng said quietly, "If Ran Ran continues to struggle, I will have someone drag Pei He down until he is beaten to death. Ran Ran can try it out, but Ran Ran should be aware that my patience is limited."
Hearing what Lu Heng said in her ears, the young girl slowly gave up struggling and lay on the bed with her head sideways, weeping.
Obviously, it was he who had told the young girl to stop struggling, but Lu Heng was not happy to see such an obedient Yue Ran at all. It was still better for her to make a fuss so he could see Pei He dying in front of his eyes rather than seeing the scene where the young girl tried hard to protect her loved one and sacrificed herself instead.
However, Lu Heng did not intend to say anything anymore. He only lowered his head and licked the young girl's tears away. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
"Every part of Ran Ran is so sweet, but these tears are salty," Lu Heng said. "If one day Ran Ran can cry for me like this, just once, even if I know that I am to die immediately after, I will still be willing. I will be willing as long as Ran Ran loves me, just once."
Lu Heng, who was talking to Yue Ran, did not get a single response out of the young girl's mouth, so he squeezed her chin to force the other party to look at him.
"Answer me, Ran Ran," Lu Heng said in a low voice.
"Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, the richest person in the world, so what could Your Majesty not have?" Yue Ran spoke. She lowered her eyes, her eyelashes trembled, and the corners of her lips desolately made a small arc. She looked empty.
"Yes, I am indeed the richest person in the world, but even so, I have never won Ran Ran's heart," Lu Heng said as a sad smile made its way to his face. "I have never won a moment of Ran Ran's concern, and this makes me feel really unwilling." He slowly caressed the girl's face and said, "Ran Ran, you are mine. From head to toe. For the rest of your life."
Yue Ran's eyelashes trembled when she heard the young man's words, but she still steeled herself to say, "Then, Your Majesty also needs to understand that it is impossible for you to win Ran Ran's heart in this lifetime."
Lu Heng did not expect that even at this time, Yue Ran would still talk to him like this. She was stubbornly putting up a fight against him.
Then he has to punish her well to let her see things clearly.
…
Yue Ran stretched out her hand to grab Pei He.
However, Pei He, who saw the young girl with hickey marks all over her body, flinched a little. Yue Ran's face paled; she immediately stopped her hand in embarrassment and curled her fingers. It is better not to disturb her cousin if she is already like this.
As if understanding what Yue Ran's silent actions meant, Pei He hurriedly held Yue Ran's hand, which was about to be retracted, and blinked the tears in his eyes away.
A man does not tear up easily until he reaches the saddest point in his life.
Yue Ran, who had just been tormented by Lu Heng in the first place, was already exhausted, but she still forced herself to smile to hide her fatigue and comfort Pei He, trying to make him feel a little better.
"Cousin, do not cry," Yue Ran said as she forced her tired body to sit up and gently wipe the young man's tears. "I am not worth your tears. In the end, it is still Ran Ran who is sorry for Cousin."
Pei He shook his head and said, "It is not Ran Ran's fault."
Seeing Yue Ran's face filled with utter pain, Pei He's heart was also bleeding with her. Why did the Heavens torture them like this?
"It was Ran Ran who harmed Cousin, which made Cousin become what Cousin is now," Yue Ran said as her tears dripped down uncontrollably, but she still maintained a small smile on her face. "If it were not for Ran Ran, maybe Cousin would have already been in the top three of Jin Shi. It was very likely that Cousin was already famous by now and might have even entered the bridal chamber with ornamented candles and had a wedding night with Cousin's beloved."
(*Jin Shi: It is the highest and final degree in the imperial examination in Imperial China. The top three rankings of Jin Shi include Zhuang Yuan for first place, Bang Yan for second place, and Tan Hua for third place.
Unexpectedly, Yue Ran could still make jokes to make him feel happy, so Pei He also forced a smile on his face.
"Yes, maybe I would already have such a sweet dream by now," Pei He said.
Seeing that Yue Ran looked a little lost and was in a daze when she heard him say these words himself, Pei He smiled and wiped away the young girl's tears, then spoke seriously, "But if my bride is not Ran Ran, then even if I enter the bridal chamber with ornamented candles, I will still not be happy. And even if I do enter the top three rankings of Jin Shi, so what?"
Yue Ran looked at Pei He with incredulous eyes, as if she did not understand what was going on.
"In my heart, Ran Ran is the most important person, and nothing in the world could compare to Ran Ran," Pei He said. "As long as I can see Ran Ran every day, I will always be very happy."
"Cousin, I… I…" Yue Ran started, but her words immediately trailed off. She did not know what to say, so she immediately threw herself into the young man's arms and cried loudly.
Pei He hugged the young girl tightly in his arms and gently caressed the back of her head. He himself lowered his head to touch his forehead to the young girl's neck.
When Pei He raised his head again, he said, "Okay, do not cry anymore. Everything that happened is all voluntary, so Ran Ran does not need to bear any burden in Ran Ran's heart." Rubbing his cheek on the young girl's cheek, he looked at her face and then said with a smile, "Look, look, Ran Ran is crying like a cute little cat. Ran Ran even wet my clothes."
Sure enough, when Yue Ran looked down, she saw that a spot on the young man's clothes had been dyed a lot darker than the rest of the area.
"Hmph, who told Cousin to tease Ran Ran like this?" Yue Ran said this proudly while sniffling from time to time. "Naturally, this is the punishment that Cousin deserves."
Looking at Yue Ran, who was crying in one second and smiling in the next, Pei He could not help but feel that his cousin was really easy to coax and tease. So cute.
"Oh, now Ran Ran can blame me now, huh?" Pei He spoke with bent eyes. He raised a hand to pinch her little nose and said, "You, little girl, are really amazing."
Yue Ran giggled while she put her arms around the young man's neck. She looked at him seriously and said, "In this life, Ran Ran is sorry for Cousin. But in the next life, Ran Ran will definitely be with Cousin for the rest of Ran Ran's life. We will be a couple for a lifetime, even if Ran Ran has to search high up in the heavens or low down in the underworld."
"Then I will trade my three lifetimes of merit in exchange for a lifetime in a world with you," Pei He said it in a serious tone, like an oath or a promise.
…
In Yue Ran's sea of consciousness
When Yue Ran heard it, she instantly called Ruan Ruan in her sea of consciousness.
"Did you hear it, Ruan Ruan?" Yue Ran asked.
"Ruan Ruan heard it, Master!" Ruan Ruan replied loud and clear. "The male supporting character's three lifetimes of merit must be worth a lot of power!"
"This is indeed a cost-effective deal," Yue Ran answered while smiling in her heart. "It would be a shame to let something so delicious go just like that, so since he had made a deal with the devil, then the devil should also fulfill the promise."
"Whatever the Master says is always right!" Ruan Ruan chirped.
…
Even though Yue Ran was communicating with Ruan Ruan in her sea of consciousness, it still did not affect her outer appearance. She looked like she wanted to cry but was trying to hold her tears back.
Suddenly, the young girl asked, "Cousin, can Ran Ran kiss you?"
Pei He knew that he should refuse, but he did not want to let go of the young girl's hand at all. And Yue Ran does not need to hear the young man's answer either. She had already expected him not to say a word and had already leaned forward to slowly approach the man's face.
Then Yue Ran closed the distance, and their lips touched.
