Can We Say No to Divorce?

Chapter 842 - 592: Extra - In His Arms

He whispered in her ear, "Don’t catch a cold!"

But, her and him, in this position, what was it?

He sat on the ground, leaning against the tree trunk, while she was cradled in his arms.

Many times, in the darkness, they had been much closer than this.

But that was in the height of hormones, chasing excitement.

In this moment of danger, neither of them spoke again.

In this atmosphere, she felt as if time was dragging on.

Song Xuyao didn’t take advantage of her, just held her in his arms, shielding her from the cold.

She hugged herself tightly, letting her thoughts drift.

She didn’t know when she fell asleep in his embrace, and when she woke, it was already daylight.

A dew drop fell onto her face, slowly waking her up; she was almost entirely curled up in his arms.

She hurriedly got up, but Song Xuyao’s legs had gone numb, unable to move.

"Can we leave now?" Qiao Xiaoyan looked around, with no trace of zombies.

"My feet are numb!" Song Xuyao said, "Give me a moment to recover."

Qiao Xiaoyan squatted beside him, looking at him, her eyes bright: "Which leg is numb? I’ll massage it for you..."

"They’re both numb..." Song Xuyao said.

Qiao Xiaoyan bowed her head, smiled gently, and then reached out to massage him.

Song Xuyao was stunned. Waking up in this forest and seeing her gentle smile, it felt like the night’s hardships were worth it.

Only, he hadn’t been in a good mood for long when Qiao Xiaoyan started to tease him.

She deliberately pinched him with her small hands, and though his legs were numb, when she pinched him, it tickled him, but he couldn’t escape.

"Stop it, it’s ticklish..." Song Xuyao laughed.

In the end, Qiao Xiaoyan tickled him even more vigorously!

Of course she knew he couldn’t do anything to her at this moment!

Song Xuyao felt that he hadn’t laughed like this for a long time!

It was their first night spent together without passion burning, just sitting peacefully for a whole night, and waking up to such warmth in the morning.

Qiao Xiaoyan reckoned she had almost recovered enough to run!

Knowing that once he had recovered, and she kept teasing him like this, he definitely wouldn’t let her off!

Song Xuyao got up, moved his body, then stepped forward to chase after Qiao Xiaoyan.

Qiao Xiaoyan hurriedly ran, the morning air was so fresh, birds singing in the trees, dew drops landing on her, feet crunching on fallen leaves.

Only, she hadn’t run far before Song Xuyao caught her.

He reached out to grab her; she jumped, tearing her flimsy clothing in the process.

The flimsy fabric, already not covering much, now fell to the ground.

The white fabric was gone, leaving only a set of close-fitting black clothes.

She was startled, not expecting this.

Song Xuyao didn’t expect such a revelation in the early morning.

He walked up to her, bowed his head to gaze at her.

In the daylight, he had never looked at her like this before.

Her skin like ivory, slender yet perfectly proportioned.

Seeing this, Song Xuyao’s suppressed anger from the night rose again!

Qiao Xiaoyan took a step back, leaning against the tree trunk, while he stood right in front of her.

The morning atmosphere was so harmonious.

He pressed one hand against the tree trunk, the other brushing her hair, softly calling, "Xiaoyan..."

Qiao Xiaoyan lowered her head, "I shouldn’t have tickled you..."

"It’s okay!" He said generously.

As he spoke, he intentionally leaned close to her, right by her ear, watching her tremble as he had predicted, he was exceedingly satisfied.

Qiao Xiaoyan wanted to avoid him, but his face was so close, she couldn’t escape.

"Song sir..." She hadn’t finished speaking when he laughed.

She didn’t understand why he was laughing?

"From now on, how about morning runs every day? You’ll definitely feel better, laugh more!" Song Xuyao told her.

Qiao Xiaoyan also laughed, looking at him, slightly embarrassed.

"Thank you for rescuing me!" Although their relationship had long ended, it was he who saved her, she still had to thank him.

Song Xuyao tousled her long hair, "No need to thank me!"

Qiao Xiaoyan didn’t know what to say, dressed like this in front of a man she had been so close to, she was somewhat embarrassed.

Yet Song Xuyao’s gaze still lingered on her.

They had been involved for a long time, but rarely talked about feelings.

Even their physical interactions had outweighed emotional ones!

"How did you get captured?" Song Xuyao returned to the main topic.

Qiao Xiaoyan said, "On my way to work, they kidnapped me, then locked me up for days, insisting I entertain guests at a nightclub..."

"Take some time off!" Song Xuyao suggested, "How about visiting the town for a while?"

Qiao Xiaoyan looked at him, knowing the town was full of her memories with Bai Ye.

He actually told her to go?

Song Xuyao was quite straightforward: "Since you can’t forget, don’t force yourself to forget! If you miss him, go see him!"

Qiao Xiaoyan lowered her eyes. The reason she and he could get along so harmoniously might be because they understood each other well!

He had lost Song Chenxi, and she had lost Bai Ye.

He knew the pain of such loss, so he wouldn’t ask her to forget Bai Ye.

She knew what it was like to lose someone she loved most, so she wouldn’t ask him to do anything.

Now, with no more physical relationship between them, he actually suggests she go to the small town for a vacation.

Isn’t this just like when danger came, and she asked him to take Nian Enxi away?

She and he are probably always two parallel lines!

No matter how much they intersect physically, spiritually, mentally, and in soul, they will never connect.

"Okay!" Qiao Xiaoyan nodded, "I’ll think it over carefully."

At this point, Song Xuyao unbuttoned his shirt. As he unbuttoned each one, he carefully watched Qiao Xiaoyan’s expression.

Her face slowly turned red, watching his actions.

Then, she turned her head away.

If he wanted to, she couldn’t escape!

Besides, she hardly had any cloth covering herself now.

Song Xuyao chuckled softly, finishing unbuttoning his shirt, staring at her; even when she was shy, she was quite cute.

When he reached to unbuckle his belt, Qiao Xiaoyan hurriedly said, "That’s enough..."

"What’s enough?" Song Xuyao teased her.

"No!" Qiao Xiaoyan said, "It’s over between us, no more..."

"When you stirred me up this morning, why didn’t you think?" Song Xuyao seemed in a good mood.

Qiao Xiaoyan shook her head: "I was just joking with you..."

"Xiaoyan, such jokes with men can’t be made lightly!" Song Xuyao reached out and caressed her pretty face.

Qiao Xiaoyan wanted to turn her head, but he laughed aloud instead.

Annoyed by his laughter, Qiao Xiaoyan stomped on his foot, cutting his laughter short!

She pushed him away and started walking forward.

But then, Song Xuyao pulled her back.

"What do you want to do?" Qiao Xiaoyan looked at him angrily.

That’s when she saw the injury on his body, and she quickly said, "Let’s go, head to the hospital first..."

Before she could finish, he swiftly pulled her into his arms.

The speed startled her, leaving scratch marks on his back...

"So not gentle?" He looked down at her, his gaze rare and lost.

Qiao Xiaoyan looked at the scratch marks on his back, then at where she had just been standing, a snake had fallen down; she was about to die of embarrassment!

She thought he wanted to... with her...

Who knew he was rescuing her!

She didn’t know a snake was eavesdropping on their conversation, ready to bite her.

Her nails wouldn’t normally be sharp, but she’d applied pressure, leaving marks as she scratched.

"You must be fragrant, zombies want to bite you, and snakes want to eat you!" Song Xuyao fixated his gaze on her.

Qiao Xiaoyan wrapped her arms around his neck and shyly said, "Thank you!"

She noticed he hadn’t moved for a while and wondered what he was doing, so she looked up at him.

In his eyes, something seemed to flash past, too quick to catch.

She looked up at him, dew dropping on her face, gliding over her porcelain-like skin, and he reached out, gently wiped it off, leaning down...

Qiao Xiaoyan was startled, thinking he was going to kiss her.

After all, the atmosphere at this moment was indeed a bit strange.

Her heart pounded violently, as if about to burst from her chest.

But he did nothing.

He grabbed his shirt from the tree branch and draped it over her shoulders: "Put it on!"

Qiao Xiaoyan’s eyes widened instantly. He took off his shirt, not for anything, but to put it on her?

But if that’s really all, why did he unbuckle his belt to tease her?

"Want to continue?" Song Xuyao asked, looking down at her.

Qiao Xiaoyan turned her back to him, buttoned up, her cheeks flushed.

She walked briskly outward, and he walked beside her.

After they got out, in the suburbs, some were already up early in the morning.

Some people looked at their odd attire, giving them a few extra glances.

When Song Xuyao glared at them fiercely, they dared not look at Qiao Xiaoyan anymore.

He hailed a taxi and said to her: "Go home and change clothes first, then head to the police station, hurry to the town."

Qiao Xiaoyan nodded.

She went home, took a shower, and then went to the police station, where Lu Xiao worriedly hugged her upon her arrival: "Dear, you’re finally back! Let me see, did a zombie bite you?"

"I’m fine, no need to worry," Qiao Xiaoyan smiled.

Lu Xiao nodded: "We went to the hospital last night to check on Nian Enxi, she said you were also trapped in the nightclub, luckily Officer Song found you! Oh my god! These people are terrible, and also, what’s with that zombie?"
