Chapter 673: Chapter 672, Touched a Beauty in Sleep
Xu Wendong looked completely taken aback.
He hadn’t expected Pingliang Xiangzhi to say such a thing.
After regaining his composure,
he awkwardly said, "Isn’t this inappropriate?"
Although he didn’t mind sleeping next to Pingliang Xiangzhi, she was, after all, a young girl, so he had to consider her reputation.
To his surprise, Pingliang Xiangzhi seemed unfazed and said, "Mr. Yanagida saved Kaori’s life and is Kaori’s savior. As they say, a life-saving grace outweighs everything. If Mr. Yanagida doesn’t mind, Kaori is willing to devote herself to repay Mr. Yanagida’s kindness."
She lowered her head, the blush on her cheeks spreading to her ears, looking utterly shy.
"This..."
Xu Wendong was at a loss for words.
He hadn’t expected that, having just arrived in Wa Country, someone would already be willing to devote themselves to him.
Truth be told,
he did have a fond admiration for Pingliang Xiangzhi, but it was merely out of appreciation.
He never intended to get involved with a woman from Wa Country.
"Perhaps we should just sleep for now!" Xu Wendong finally conceded, agreeing to Pingliang Xiangzhi’s proposal to sleep together.
Because he knew
if he didn’t agree, she would probably sit on the chair all night.
One should put themselves in another’s shoes.
She had already sat on the chair for half a day just to take care of him—how could he let a young girl continue to sit on a cold, hard chair all night? freewebnσvel.cøm
If he really allowed that, his conscience would be troubled.
"Thank you, Mr. Yanagida!"
Pingliang Xiangzhi bowed again.
"..."
Xu Wendong was really uncomfortable with this mode of interaction.
But he didn’t say much more.
------
Pingliang Xiangzhi had a light, elegant fragrance about her.
It wasn’t perfume.
It was more like a natural scent, which, though subtle, was deeply refreshing.
As the night deepened,
the hospital was especially quiet.
In the dimly lit ward, even though Xu Wendong closed his eyes, he could still hear Pingliang Xiangzhi’s heartbeat in his ears.
Her heartbeat was extremely rapid, like the beating war drums during a battle between two armies.
There was no helping it.
This was Pingliang Xiangzhi’s first time sleeping in the same bed with a man.
What this meant was self-evident.
However,
Xu Wendong didn’t grasp the girl’s subtle intentions.
He only wanted Pingliang Xiangzhi to fall asleep quickly.
With this in mind,
he released a kind of Soul Force, silently sending it into Pingliang Xiangzhi’s brain, serving as a hypnotic to soothe her into a slumber.
Being cautious, he also got up, wandered around the ward for a while, and even went to the balcony to smoke a cigarette and respond to some messages.
Only then did he lie back on the bed and enter his own dreams.
The next day,
when Xu Wendong felt something soft in his hand, he instinctively squeezed it twice.
Before he could figure out what it was,
he heard a soft moan from Pingliang Xiangzhi by his ear.
This startled him, causing him to snap his eyes open suddenly.
To his shock, he found that at some point, his right hand had slipped inside Pingliang Xiangzhi’s kimono, and the girl was already awake, her face flushed with embarrassment, her eyes holding a mix of shyness and anxiety.
"Miss Kaori, I’m sorry, I... I didn’t mean to," Xu Wendong instinctively withdrew his right hand, wishing the ground would swallow him up.
He felt he had wronged Pingliang Xiangzhi,
and his own beliefs.
After all,
Pingliang Xiangzhi was from Wa Country!
The nation was an enemy of Great Xia.
Yet he had, in his sleep, offended her.
Pingliang Xiangzhi blushed as she adjusted her clothes, her voice as soft as a mosquito’s buzz, "Never mind that Mr. Yanagida was unintentional; even if Mr. Yanagida truly wanted Kaori, Kaori would satisfy your every need!"
In Wa Country’s cultural heritage, the grace of saving a life outweighed everything.
Xu Wendong was very uncomfortable with this pathological expression of gratitude, awkwardly saying, "Well, I’ll just go to the bathroom." He then got out of bed, slipping into his slippers and heading to the bathroom.
However, because his injuries hadn’t fully healed, his walk wasn’t very natural or relaxed.
After he came out of the bathroom,
Jingbian Yudai arrived in the ward with breakfast and some clean clothes for Pingliang Xiangzhi.
Pingliang Xiangzhi took the clothes and went to the bathroom to change.
Jingbian Yudai looked at Xu Wendong with suspicion and said, "Mr. Yanagida, I heard that after those two assassins appeared yesterday, you suddenly suggested leaving? Why did you suddenly suggest leaving?"
Xu Wendong knew that Jingbian Yudai was suspicious of him.
This, too, was only human.
He wasn’t worried and offered his perspective: "The restaurant where we were dining yesterday wasn’t very busy. Besides Miss Kaori and me, there were many empty tables."
"There were even several spots by the windows with beautiful views. Yet, they chose to forgo those seats and sat beside us."
"Lord Jingbian, didn’t you find this quite abnormal?"
"Furthermore, I felt a sense of crisis from those two."
"Along with the fact that Lord Jingbian assigned two bodyguards to protect us closely when we left, I was concerned that they might have intended to harm Miss Kaori."
Jingbian Yudai nodded slightly, an expression of gratitude appearing in his eyes. "Yesterday’s events could have been disastrous if not for you stepping forward, Mr. Yanagida."
At this time,
Pingliang Xiangzhi emerged from the bathroom.
She had taken off her bulky kimono and changed into a fresh, casual outfit.
A white shirt paired with sky-blue skinny jeans.
Her long hair was casually tied into a ponytail, making her appear fresh and elegant, a stark contrast to her previous image.
Especially her prominent curves and long, beautiful legs, which took Xu Wendong by surprise; he hadn’t expected this woman to have such an impressive figure.
Of course,
even though he was taken aback by her figure, Xu Wendong never thought of getting involved with Pingliang Xiangzhi.
National hatred
must not be forgotten.
But Pingliang Xiangzhi quite enjoyed the light in Xu Wendong’s eyes as he looked at her, giving her a sense of unexplained achievement.
She glanced at the time, then told Jingbian Yudai, "It’s already eight in the morning!"
Jingbian Yudai wore a face of embarrassment. "I’m sorry, we haven’t been able to find any traces of those two assassins. They seem to have vanished into thin air. We’ve used all our connections but couldn’t locate their hideout or even identify who they are!"
Pingliang Xiangzhi wore a blank expression. "That is not the answer I want!"
Though she appeared fragile in front of Xu Wendong,
in front of Jingbian Yudai, she looked like a formidable woman, exuding authority with every move.
It was as if she were a different person.
Jingbian Yudai quickly replied, "Rest assured, we will continue to investigate this matter and provide you with a satisfactory answer!"
"Do go now, and I hope you won’t disappoint me!" Pingliang Xiangzhi snorted with displeasure.
"Yes!"
Jingbian Yudai retreated respectfully.
Pingliang Xiangzhi then reverted to her earlier gentle, lovable self, opening the breakfast Jingbian Yudai had brought.
Xu Wendong ate his breakfast with worry. "Miss Kaori, I fear the attack on you yesterday was not a simple matter!"
Pingliang Xiangzhi’s beautiful eyes were full of curiosity. "What does Mr. Yanagida mean by this?"
