âXiaofei!â
Ning Xiaoyu exclaimed in fright, swiftly jumping off the bed and reaching out to help Ye Xiaofei up.
But with a slight effort, she ended up lifting Ye Xiaofei completely in her arms. âXiaofei, are you okay? Are you okay?â Ning Xiaoyu anxiously asked.
âIâm fine, just loosen your grip. Are you trying to strangle me?â Ye Xiaofei stuck out his tongue, managing to utter these words.
Ning Xiaoyu exclaimed in shock and instinctively let go of her grip.
Ye Xiaofei fell to the ground with a thud once again.
Finally, Ning Xiaoyu hurriedly managed to get Ye Xiaofei back onto the bed.
Helplessly, Ye Xiaofei looked at Ning Xiaoyu and said, âXiaoyu, you nearly exhausted me with your antics!â
Ning Xiaoyu, feeling extremely embarrassed, said, âI⦠1 suddenly became so strong. How did that happen?â
Ye Xiaofei helplessly looked at her and said, âIf your strength hadnât changed, then these past two hours would have been a waste. The energy expended from my labor would have been in vain.â
During those two hours, it appeared as if Ye Xiaofeiâs hands were simply tracing Ning Xiaoyuâs meridians. However, in reality, he was conducting a comprehensive development of her entire body.
He not only opened up her meridians and dan tian but also stabilized and strengthened them directly.
In other words, Ye Xiaofeiâs actions were equivalent to Ning Xiaoyu practicing martial arts for several years.
As a result, Ye Xiaofei completely depleted his true qi, leaving him extremely weak. He couldnât even move his body now.
After uttering those words, Ye Xiaofei felt a wave of drowsiness and said, âIâll take a nap.â
âThis is truly amazing! 1 suddenly have so much strength. Oh my, I feel like 1 have an endless supply of energy throughout my body. Xiaofei, youâre incredible! Oh?â
Ning Xiaoyu was excitedly speaking when she lowered her head and realized that Ye Xiaofei had already fallen into a deep sleep.
She paused for a moment, finally understanding how much mental and physical effort Ye Xiaofei had exerted for her sake.
An indescribable warmth welled up in Ning Xiaoyuâs heart. Her eyes were filled with tenderness as she gazed at Ye Xiaofeiâs face, unwilling to leave.
After a while, Ning Xiaoyu shifted her gaze and blushed, softly sighing.
Only then did she realize that she hadnât even put on any clothes. She had been sitting here, watching Ye Xiaofei for a long time. If Ye Xiaofei found out, she would be truly embarrassed.
At this moment, she finally began to pay attention to her own body. She furrowed her brows instantly, realizing that there was an odd smell emanating from her and her hand felt sticky and had darkened in color.
âOh no, Iâm so dirty!â Ye Xiaofei quickly jumped off the bed and hurriedly ran into the bathroom.
She washed away the layer of grime from her body with hot water, clearly visible to the naked eye.
âWhy am 1 so dirty? All, I know, Xiaofei told me to get rid of the impurities and cleanse myself. Itâs the dirt inside my body. Itâs truly amazing.â
Ning Xiaoyu quickly cleaned herself up, and her body finally regained its original refreshing scent.
Due to the rush, she didnât bring any clothes or towels. She opened the door and peeked towards the bed, only to see Ye Xiaofei still motionless, presumably still sound asleep.
âWell, Xiaofei watched me for so long just now, even touched me all over. What do 1 have to be embarrassed about?â
She murmured to herself and quietly walked into the bedroom, then opened the cabinet and took out some clothes.
At that moment, she had a peculiar thought. What if Ye Xiaofei tried to sneak a peek at her? What should she do?
Should she pretend not to know or directly turn her head and ask him?
Then, she discreetly glanced at Ye Xiaofei, but his eyes remained closed, obviously deep in sleep.
This unexpectedly disappointed Ning Xiaoyu.
âOh, why does it still smell so bad?â Ning Xiaofei changed into clean clothes but could still smell the foul odor in the room, so she started searching for the source.
Soon, she discovered an unpleasant smell coming from Ye Xiaofei. It was the same odor she had on herself, evidently transferred when she hugged him earlier.
Furthermore, Ye Xiaofeiâs clothes were damp, obviously from his sweat.
âXiaofei, youâve been through a lot.â Ning Xiaoyuâs eyes became slightly teary, deeply moved in her heart.
Without any hesitation, she gently lifted Ye Xiaofei and helped him take off his clothes.
However, Ye Xiaofei remained sound asleep, allowing Ning Xiaoyu to undress him.
But when it came to the last piece of clothing on Ye Xiaofei, Ning Xiaoyu hesitated a little.
âWell, Iâve seen it all anyway, and besides, youâve already seen me completely. I should have a look too.â
She muttered to herself and removed the final piece of Ye Xiaofeiâs attire, covering him with her blanket.
She washed all of Ye Xiaofeiâs clothes.
Ning Xiaoyu returned to the bedside, gazing at Ye Xiaofeiâs face. Her smile was incredibly sweet at that moment.
âItâs getting late, Xiaofei, and Iâm also tired. You sleeping on my bed isnât me forcing you, so⦠so letâs sleep together.â
Ning Xiaoyu murmured to herself, then gently lay down next to Ye Xiaofei, resting her head on his shoulderâ¦.
