Chapter 426 175: With the Sky as My Blanket and the Earth as My Bed_4
"Do you really want to hear it?" Li Yuan asked.
"Mhm, I want to hear it."
Li Yuan smiled. "Alright then, I'll sing it a cappella for you."
Li Yuan no longer resisted singing; in fact, he had gained quite a bit of confidence. He had also discovered something strange: after his rebirth, his voice and musical talent had improved dramatically. Before, he was barely decent among men, at the level of a karaoke king at best. But after his rebirth, especially after singing songs like "Love Confession Balloon," "Natural Beauty," "Nanshan South," and "Just Met You," his vocal quality had rapidly improved. It was just like his innate talent with musical instruments, as if he had a cheat enabled.
However, having already possessed the hidden talent of "getting stronger by writing," he accepted this special aptitude for music quite readily.
To explain it in terms common to web novels, his soul's power had doubled after rebirth, leading to a massive boost in his learning ability, though he hadn't quite reached the level of a photographic memory yet. As a web novel author himself, he'd seen all sorts of rebirths with systems. His own talent, which merely enhanced his memory and learning ability, was nothing worth mentioning.
Li Yuan smiled and said, "This song is called 'White Moonlight and Cinnabar Mole,' and I wrote it especially for you."
"White Moonlight and Cinnabar Mole?" Bai Weixi murmured to herself. Her heart filled with even greater anticipation as she recalled the story Li Yuan had just told her.
Li Yuan moistened his throat, focused on the rhythm of the song in his mind, and slowly began to sing.
"Old songs used to wind around my fingertips…
The unattainable beauty always scratches at my heart…
…
Time scurries by, the flame turns into a distant moon…
No more surging waves, nor do they sway in dreams.
The white moonlight shines, and you recall her kindness…
The cinnabar mole is hard to erase, do you now know…"
…
Soon, the song "White Moonlight and Cinnabar Mole" flowed from Li Yuan's lips.
At his side, Bai Weixi was already weeping, her beautiful eyes fixed on Li Yuan's face. As she listened to his affectionate singing, her own voice grew hoarse and choked with emotion.
"Brother, so you've always had me in your heart."
Li Yuan patted Bai Weixi's head, deciding to up the dosage a bit. He put on a look of deep affection and sighed.
"Classmate Bai Weixi, you are the white moonlight in my heart, the one I deeply love. Do you understand?"
"Yes, yes, Brother, I understand everything now."
Bai Weixi was already moved to tears. Just moments ago, after hearing the story Li Yuan told, she had been wallowing in self-pity, thinking he no longer loved her. But after listening to the song Li Yuan wrote especially for her, she finally understood how deeply he loved her.
In that story, even after she hurt him so terribly—to the point that he gave up on himself and tried to end his life for love—he still wrote such a deeply affectionate song... If that wasn't love, then what was?
Crying with emotion, Bai Weixi immediately rolled over on top of him and initiated a kiss.
"Brother, thank you. I love this song."
"Love me once more!"
Hearing this, how could Li Yuan not understand her meaning? Without another word, he responded with action.
More than an hour later, the entwined figures on Mandarin Duck Slope ceased their movements.
Li Yuan straightened his clothes and draped his jacket, now smelling of grass and faint perfume, over Bai Weixi's shivering body.
"Bai, put this on so you don't catch a cold."
With her cheeks flushed and the afterglow of their passion still lingering, Bai Weixi was the perfect embodiment of her name in this situation: the reeds are lush and green, the white dew has not yet dried. If Xia Zhijin was the Innate Shyness Holy Body and Zhong Tingyue was the Innate Black Silk Holy Body, then Bai Weixi was the Innate Pure Desire Holy Body.
After his hands-on teaching and multiple practical sessions, the hidden attributes of Bai Weixi's special physique had been completely unleashed. It made her irresistible, capable of continuously unlocking a man's potential in a very short time without wasting a single moment.
Just as Bai Weixi was about to leave, a sudden pain shot through her body, and she nearly stumbled.
Li Yuan quickly caught her, asking with concern, "Bai, what's wrong?"
Bai Weixi murmured shyly, "I'm just… a little sore."
Li Yuan glanced at the spot Bai Weixi was covering with her hand and immediately understood. He had been a bit too forceful earlier, especially since he hadn't even taken off his shoes.
"Then I'll carry you on my back!"
Li Yuan bent down, signaling for Bai Weixi to climb on.
Bai Weixi looked at Li Yuan shyly, completely enveloped in happiness and sweetness.
"Honey, aren't you tired? I can manage."
Li Yuan chuckled and teased, "We only played poker twice. I wouldn't be tired even if we went another two rounds. You, of all people, should have a keen sense of that. Come on, get up."
"You're terrible! Mm-hm." Bai Weixi's pretty face flushed, and lowering her head, she wrapped her arms around Li Yuan's neck.
Li Yuan supported her perky bottom with both hands, feeling the soft pressure against his back as he grinned.
"Here we go! Hehe, Zhu Bajie carrying his wife."
Bai Weixi replied shyly, "Honey, you're not Zhu Bajie at all."
"Then what am I?"
"Heehee, you're a big casanova!"
…
Weighing less than 110 pounds, Bai Weixi was no trouble at all for Li Yuan to carry. Before long, he had brought her to the girls' dormitory building.
Bai Weixi looked at the closed main door and asked hesitantly, "Honey, the dorm door is already locked. What do I do if I can't get back in?"
Li Yuan asked tentatively, "Then… come home with me?"
Bai Weixi nodded shyly. "Mhm, I'll listen to you."
