Chapter 44
In the darkness, Song Weizhi raised an eyebrow. Her little girl had been so shy just a moment ago, why was she now taking the initiative to ask for a hug?
However, Song Weizhi didn't think much about it. If her little girl wanted a hug, she would give it to her. It was just a simple hug, after all.
With that in mind, Song Weizhi reached out and pulled the little girl into her arms. The little girl was not heavy, and it felt comfortable to hold her.
Song Zhixia's heart was pounding wildly. Senior Sister even agreed to hug her while sleeping? She slightly lifted her neck, and made a swallowing motion, feeling a bit itchy and uneasy, as if a lot of little monkeys had suddenly appeared in her heart. However, another voice in her mind said, "Try again, ask for something else to see if she agrees?"
Song Zhixia quickly rejected this idea in her mind. She already had different feelings for Senior Sister. Deceiving Senior Sister like this and having her hug her was already making Song Zhixia feel guilty. Did she need to continue?
She repeatedly told herself in her heart not to make any more demands, but her mind unconsciously recalled the two kisses with Senior Sister. If she asked Senior Sister to kiss her now, would Senior Sister agree? Or would she find it strange and reject her?
Song Zhixia's mind was entangled like a thousand threads, making a mess. Eventually, Song Zhixia made a decision. Kissing was something that Dao Companions did, but the first two times, Senior Sister only kissed her to comfort her. It didn't count. But if she asked Senior Sister to kiss her, and Senior Sister agreed, it meant Senior Sister's feelings for her were different. Senior Sister just hadn't realized it yet.
Song Zhixia took a deep breath, cautiously snuggled in Song Weizhi's arms, and after hesitating for a while, she spoke, "Senior Sister, can you kiss me? Like the day in the secret realm, is it okay?"
The little girl's voice was weak. Hearing it, Song Weizhi felt a twinge in her heart. Instead of just a kiss, she could give her anything. But why would her little girl suddenly ask her to kiss her? Just a moment ago, the little girl was shy even when getting on the bed. Song Weizhi was a bit puzzled.
Thinking about the sketchbook she had seen not long ago, Song Weizhi wondered if her little girl had been influenced in a bad way.
In the hesitant moment, Song Zhixia's heart was also hanging. Was Senior Sister unwilling? It seemed that her wishful thinking was in vain. Senior Sister's first two kisses were just to comfort her. She boldly snuggled against Song Weizhi's neck and murmured with a bit of grievance, "Senior Sister, won't you kiss me?"
After saying this, Song Zhixia felt that she had no strength left even to breathe. She just waited for Song Weizhi's response. Since she had said this much, if Senior Sister still didn't respond, it meant that Senior Sister didn't have such intentions.
Song Weizhi gently embraced her little girl, who was soft and tender. She was even coquettishly asking for a kiss. Song Weizhi's heart melted. She had long forgotten that she was her niece.
However, Song Weizhi still pondered for a moment and asked, "Xia Xia, do you know what a kiss means?"
The cheek buried in Song Weizhi's neck had already turned so red that it seemed like it could drip blood. Of course, Song Zhixia knew. Not only did she know, but she had also spent half the day reading the sketchbook today. She had different thoughts about Senior Sister!
However, she certainly couldn't say it explicitly to Song Weizhi. After a moment of contemplation, she blushed and spoke, "I know, Senior Sister, don't you want to?," rubbing Song Weizhi's neck and brushing her nose over Song Weizhi's delicate neck. "Senior Sister, don't treat me like a child; I know about these things."
Song Zhixia whispered, mustering up her courage, and with her last strength, she gently lifted her head and placed a soft kiss on the side of Song Weizhi's face.
Song Weizhi didn't expect her little girl to be so proactive, but she felt pleased in her heart. Since she arrived in this world, her heart has been completely devoted to the girl. Initially, it was for the mission, but later, it became her desire to protect the person in her arms. As for finding a Dao Companion or anything of that sort, she hadn't considered it at all.
However, if she were to find a Dao Companion in this world, her little Xia Xia would indeed be the best choice. The girl was considerate, kind-hearted, well-behaved, and beautiful. The more Song Weizhi thought about it, the more she felt it was a good match. As for whether she was a sister or something, she had long forgotten about it.
Song Weizhi gently lifted the girl's head with her hand, as if afraid of startling her. She then lightly pressed her lips to the girl's forehead, and her straight nose lightly touched the girl's.
Song Weizhi's nose affectionately rubbed against the girl's nose, and she softly said, "Xia Xia, you mustn't regret it. If I've kissed you, then you are my predestined Dao Companion. From now on, you can't think about others."
Song Weizhi's warm breath swept over, searing into Song Zhixia's heart through her cheek. Was Senior Sister declaring that she wanted her as a Dao Companion?
The young girl didn't expect that it was indeed as she had hoped–her Senior Sister liked her. For a moment, she couldn't help but sob softly in joy.
Feeling the girl tremble and sob in her arms, Song Weizhi quickly comforted, "What's wrong, Xia Xia? Don't you want to be my dao companion?"
Song Zhixia hurriedly explained between sobs, "Of course not! I'm happy… wuwuwu… I thought Senior Sister didn't like me."
While gently wiping away the tears from the girl's face, Song Weizhi whispered in her ear, "I like Xia Xia the most. Xia Xia, don't cry, okay?"
After a while, the girl finally calmed down. Thinking about what Song Weizhi had said earlier, she felt a sweet warmth in her heart. The fact that her wonderful Senior Sister also liked her felt like the most precious gift from heaven. All the grievances she had endured seemed worth it. The Senior Sister she admired liked her back.
Song Zhixia tightened her arms around Song Weizhi's neck, bringing herself closer. She softly complained, "Senior Sister, you haven't kissed me yet."
The warm breath of the young girl hit Song Weizhi's neck, making it flush with a blush. Song Weizhi leaned in closer, leaving a kiss on the corner of the girl's lips, "Alright, Xia Xia can't escape now." Saying this, she pressed her lips against the girl's.
The place where their lips met was soft, unlike the previous two times when they only gently pressed their lips together. This time, Song Weizhi understood the girl's feelings for her. Their lips rubbed against each other repeatedly, and Song Weizhi playfully teased with the tip of her tongue, entwining it with the girl's.
Song Zhixia couldn't withstand this. She thought kissing would be like the previous times, but she didn't expect it to be like this now. Their lips and tongues entwined, and she dared not even breathe. She could only willingly let the person in front of her lead her.
In the end, Song Zhixia couldn't bear it. She gently pushed Song Weizhi away, and Song Weizhi slightly loosened her hold on the girl. She heard the soft, coquettish voice of the girl beside her, "I can't breathe…"
Song Weizhi, circling the girl's hand, moved upwards, feeling the slightly warm little ears. Lowering her head, she lightly kissed the girl's forehead. Satisfied, she smiled and said, "Xia Xia, did you forget to breathe through your nose? You can exhale through your nose."
Song Zhixia's cheeks turned red at the remark. Fortunately, it was dark at night, and the candles were extinguished. Song Weizhi couldn't see her expression. Song Zhixia simply buried herself in Song Weizhi's arms, pretending to be a speechless little quail.
Song Weizhi found her little little girl's reaction somewhat amusing. She was the one who wanted to kiss, and now the shy one was still her. "Alright, I won't tease Xia Xia anymore. We'll kiss a few more times in the future, and Xia Xia will get used to it."
Song Zhixia pouted, "Senior Sister, you're teasing me again~"
"How can kissing Xia Xia be considered teasing? If that's the case, Xia Xia might cry because of my teasing." Saying this, Song Weizhi kissed the ends of the girl's hair. Seeing the girl still feeling shy, Song Weizhi finally let her go, saying, "Alright, I won't tease my little Dao companion anymore. Let's sleep early; we need to visit the Cold Mountain Sword Sect tomorrow."
Hearing Song Weizhi's words, Song Zhixia nodded gently.
Song Weizhi adjusted the girl in her arms to a more comfortable position, then closed her eyes to rest. However, the girl in her embrace couldn't sleep at all. In the darkness, unable to see Song Weizhi's face, Song Zhixia continued to gaze at the person holding her, her heart filled with sweetness.
Her Senior Sister liked her too. This was something she hadn't dared to imagine before, and now it had come true. Song Zhixia felt that she might be too happy to sleep recently.
Early the next morning, when Song Weizhi woke up, she saw the obedient girl still sleeping in her arms. She hadn't even noticed that her eyes were slightly narrowed when she looked at the girl.
Seeing the girl's tender appearance, Song Weizhi couldn't help but gently rub her cheek. In response, the girl snuggled against Song Weizhi's neck. Observing the girl's well-behaved demeanor, Song Weizhi leaned down and planted a kiss on the girl's cheek. As if sensing it, the girl opened her eyes to meet Song Weizhi's captivating gaze.
The girl realized that Senior Sister had kissed her. Without the cover of the night, her cheeks and ears blushed visibly, quickly turning into a little quail that buried itself in Song Weizhi's embrace. Song Weizhi didn't give the girl a chance to act like a quail, lifting her. With a slight eyebrow raise, Song Weizhi said, "Does Xia Xia feel shy now? Why weren't you shy last night when you were hugging me and wanted a kiss?"
Seeing that her face couldn't hide in Senior Sister's shoulder, Song Zhixia could only cover her reddened cheeks with both hands and said with grievance, "Senior Sister, if you bully me again, I won't talk to Senior Sister."
Song Weizhi smiled and embraced the girl, saying, "How could I bear to bully my little Dao Companion? I cherish you so much. Xia Xia, do you agree?"
The moment the girl heard the word 'Dao Companion,' she became even more shy. Hugging Song Weizhi, she refused to get up from the bed. Song Weizhi had no choice but to hold the girl and comfort her for a while before finally coaxing her to get up.
