My Happiness In You

The two people sat on the bed. Khan Bojing obediently turned his back around so Li Wei could apply the magical cream onto his wounds.

Her fingers hovered in the air hesitantly. She had seen it before, but now it looked to be worst than she remembered.

Silently, she spread the medicine on. She didn't speak and he didn't utter a single sound of complaint.

After wrapping the white cloth over his wounds, she finally asked, "Yebai, what happened to you?"

Khan Bojing turned around, a cheeky smile on his face. "Why, worried about me?"

Her eyes looked away, scolding him wordlessly.

Seeing her response, he turned her to face him. It seemed as if tears could drop from her glossy eyes any moment.

He naturally responded to her question casually, hoping it would ease her worries. Contrary to his expectation, she started crying.

"Shhh, I'm alright."

"Liar, you're hurting."

"I'm okay, look at me."

Li Wei glanced at him, saw his muscular torso all wrapped up from his back, and sobbed even harder.

Khan Bojing helplessly pulled her against his chest to block her sight of his poor condition. "My cute Sprout, think about it this way. Because you came tonight and took care of me, I'm feeling better already. With Master Yue' miraculous medicine, three days at most, I'll heal and come find you."

"Promise?"

"Promise."

Li Wei pulled back, feeling relieved after hearing his promise. She sloppily brushed her cheeks.

Khan Bojing carefully wiped away her tears. After her cheeks were clean, his long fingers combed through her hair. "Xiao Wei, next time don't risk it coming here. I'll come to you from now on. Did anyone see you as you came in?"

"No, my father sent me here," She muttered honestly before covering her hands over her mouth. Perhaps this was not the best situation to be so honest...

Khan Bojing's fingers froze midway through her hair. "Then what are we still doing, sitting here and wasting away Master Yue's efforts?"

"What do you mean?"

His lips curved up into a teasing smile. "We need to get some work done."

"..." Li Wei pressed her finger against his lips. This man, he was injured to this extent, and he still wanted to mess around?

Khan Bojing clearly didn't get her message. Rather than retreating, he advanced instead. He sneakily removed her finger and replaced it with her lips.

Li Wei's eyes widened when he suddenly kissed her, his tongue smoothly gliding into her mouth.

She was supposed to leave within the hour? That was thrown out the window the moment their lips touched.

Her eyes closed naturally and she was happily drowning in the goodness of Khan Bojing.

He felt so good, tasted so good, but his wounds...

Li Wei, the more reasonable of the two at this moment, attempted to pull back and lightly slapped his arm in protest.

Khan Bojing didn't budge. If anything, he seemed determined to not listen to her.

He kissed her harder.

She hit him harder.

His teeth grazed her bottom lip.

She bit his upper lip.

He paused for a bit... Only to move his hands from the small of her back downwards.

Her closed eyes popped open as he roughly squeezed her round buttocks. His bold move caused her to slightly jumped. Was he no longer playing around?!

Khan Bojing, forever shameless, used this to his advantage. He brought her up into the air, her legs wrapping around his waist once he sat her down.

Breathlessly, she somehow managed to call out his name, "Yebai..."

Hearing his name from those red lips of hers that he just kissed, he happily sealed her lips once again.

She had given up on trying to hit some sense into him. Her fingers played with his hair all the while returning his kiss with equal passion.

In the midst of their intense kiss, he suddenly paused and asked, "Xiao Wei, do you like this?"

Li Wei's face was at this point, as red as a rose. In their current position, she was straddling him in an ambiguous way. It was the most intimate they've been so far.

She didn't know why she, the one with more experience, was more shy.

Taking her silent contemplation for concerns of his back, Khan Bojing flipped her softly onto the mattress so he was the one above instead.

He earnestly asked, "Is this better?"

"..." Li Wei's could neither answer nor bring herself to meet his gaze. If their position before was ambiguous, their position now spoke for itself.

After a long silence, he asked again, "Xiao Wei, what do you think?"

He remained still with no sign of moving further while waiting for her response. Without her agreement, he didn't continue.

He was waiting for her consent.

Li Wei subtly cleared her throat. She tried to calm herself, but her voice still came out soft and husky, "I... I like it."

Immediately, his eyes sparkled with joy for a split second before reality dawned onto him.

He let out a regretful sigh, "Ah, it's too bad. I shouldn't have gotten myself beaten."

His lips pouted adorably and she couldn't help but teased him, "Ah, I guess we'll have to wait."

Khan Bojing tenderly brushed her small chin with his thumb, his mood lifting after seeing her playful smile. "After all, you're the most precious Sprout in the world, I can't just eat you raw."

His naughty eyes winked at her, "I'll have to wash, clean, and slowly cook you under my hands before I can enjoy--"

Li Wei's ears burned bright red after hearing his sensual words. She clamped her hands over his mouth, "Khan Bojing, you're shameless!"

"Only with you, Xiao Wei." His warm breath warmed up her cold hands.

She pulled the blanket over her flushed face.

Nonchalantly, he added, "By the way, you can eat me at anytime. I'm a Peach after all, a willing one."

"I can bake you into a peach cake too!" She suddenly peeked out in protest. Who was to say all peaches were eaten raw? One could cook peaches too!

He grinned brighter at her suggestion, "In that case... Sweetheart, I'll be waiting."

Li Wei gulped and scrambled off the bed. She was hotter than the burning pebble in her pouch, a reminder that she needed to leave soon.

As she stood there trying to come up with a comeback, he came and hugged her from behind. His lips fluttered on her neck.

If a moment ago, he was shamelessly flirtatious, now he was gentle like a feather. "Xiao Wei, was I too much?"

'Not really, considering we were once husband and wife,' she thought to herself.

To him, she mumbled, "You were."

Khan Bojing stood in front of her, his arms still holding onto her waist. He leaned down so his forehead touch hers. "Xiao Wei."

"Hmm?"

"As I laid in bed trying my best to tolerate this pain, this punishment, all I could think of was you."

His sincere voice brought her gaze to focus on him.

"I missed you, unbearably so. I thought to myself, as soon as I see you again, I ought to kiss you, hug you, and hold you to my heart's content. Did you... missed me too?"

Khan Bojing's dark eyes were unusually vulnerable after disclosing all his thoughts to her.

Li Wei leaned close to his chest and whispered, as if telling his heart directly, "Yebai, I missed you the most."

"Ah, my precious Xiao Wei, do you have any idea of how tempting you are right now?"

She knew, but still, she shook her head.

As if to show of how attracted he was to her, he softly nibbled on her neck.

Li Wei softly giggled, as it was quite ticklish. She softly poked his chest and said, "You, too, are tempting."

"Xiao Wei, let me leave a mark on you tonight?" He asked.

"Okay."

One of his hand held her waist and the other tugged the collar of her shirt off one shoulder, revealing the alluring hint of her cleavage.

His lips trailed downwards and stopped at just above the line of fabric covering her left breast. He carefully sucked until a small hickey was formed.

Khan Bojing admired his little mark on her and then happily fixed her shirt.

She shyly gave him a smile, feeling reserved at what he had just done, but also expressively pleased.

He enveloped her small figure within his embrace. "Xiao Wei, I want you to feel safe with me. I want us to go slow, enjoying all the little things couples do together."

He then, spoke his next words to her exclusively, "I want you to know, I'll wait until we're wedded. When you're my wife, only then, will we become one intimately."

She hugged his waist with all her might, grateful for his thoughtful considerations. Thankful for his quiet understanding. Joyful for his love.

Khan Bojing, the man she loved twice and continuously fell for, knew her best.

In the moonlit room, the two figures held each other's closely.

He whispered to her, "Let's stay like this for a bit longer."

And she, too, whispered back, "Okay."
