Foolish Beauty Is Bound to the Sage Emperor Nurturing System Chapter 61
Chapter 61: He Hugged Xiao Wan
The sweet-smelling Wei Wanlan was close at hand.
Su Jingzhi felt an even stronger fuzzy feeling in his heart, deepening his breaths where the other wouldn’t notice. Wei Wanlan’s scent filled his nostrils and chest.
Su Jingzhi always thought this scent was different from the pure palace fragrance, not the kind of sweetness that made one’s throat feel cloying.
It was moderately sweet, the more one smelled it, the more pleasant it became, similar to the scent of flowers and fruits.
Wei Wanlan was like a flower blooming quietly in the night, like a plump fruit, tempting him to pick it, but unaware of it himself.
“Regent King,” the little fool actually turned and approached him at this time.
Su Jingzhi, who was secretly sniffing Wei Wanlan’s scent, suddenly stiffened slightly.
Wei Wanlan shortened the half-foot distance even further.
Su Jingzhi’s heart skipped a few beats. Closing his eyes, he coldly hummed, “What is it?”
“The military doctor said that your headaches only get better quickly if you stay in Zi Chen Palace, right?” Wei Wanlan confirmed.
“Mm.”
The Regent King nodded shamelessly. He didn’t know what Wei Wanlan was planning. He had a feeling this little fool was going to pull another stunt.
But it wasn’t the first time—
Since sleeping on the dragon bed, the Regent King knew it wouldn’t be easy. Su Jingzhi closed his eyes, waiting for the attack.
At that moment, a warm, tingling itch appeared on his brow. Su Jingzhi furrowed his brows slightly, then opened his eyes.
It was Wei Wanlan’s fingertips.
Soft, fluffy dragon claws gently pinching the sides of his nose bridge, the force was regular and even. Wei Wanlan was muttering something, saying words that made Su Jingzhi utterly perplexed:
The little thing’s new trick was inexplicably puzzling.
The Regent King closed his eyes.
His beloved’s hand was right in front of him. Even if it were to break his nose bridge, he wouldn’t move. Of course, Wei Wanlan didn’t have the strength to do that.
So Su Jingzhi decided not to move, gradually relaxing amidst the softness of the dragon bed and Wei Wanlan’s murmuring.
Then, something magical happened…
The acupoints on both sides of his nose, when pressed and rubbed by Wei Wanlan’s hand, brought a slight tingling numbness. That numbness stimulated the tear ducts, slowly stimulating the eye nerves from left to right.
Su Jingzhi felt his eye sockets were a little hot.
The little fool, by accident, somehow relieved the intense pain he felt from the acupuncture needle in his lower back. Su Jingzhi thought that Wei Wanlan actually had some skill.
He opened his eyes, his vision brighter. He could see Wei Wanlan’s snow-white claws pinching his nose bridge between the curtains of the dragon bed.
Following that hand, he saw the night-glowing silk of the dragon robe, and Wei Wanlan’s pointed chin.
Su Jingzhi couldn’t help but smile: Xiao Wan was taking care of him.
Xiao Wan is so good.
“What kind of technique is this?” The Regent King asked softly.
“Does it work?”
“A little.”
“Does your head still hurt?”
“It’s okay.”
“That’s good.” Wei Wanlan said, then used his dragon claws to push aside a few strands of hair from the Regent King’s forehead, making it easier to continue. Wei Wanlan’s voice echoed in the dragon bed, “I guess your headache is because of eyestrain. Let me try to treat it.”
Wei Wanlan continued pinching his nose bridge.
While pinching, he continued muttering the incantation, still that one, two, three, four thing.
But he was very gentle and patient.
Su Jingzhi chuckled lightly, “Does Your Majesty also know how to treat eyes?” The military doctors in the palace used strong medicines to try and delay his blindness.
How could Wei Wanlan know about Su Jingzhi’s secret?
Continuing with his literal understanding, he pinched and said:
“I know a little bit (eye exercises)…”
The Regent King shook his head slightly on the pillow. Hearing his tone, he was at most a half-baked doctor, it was impossible for Wei Wanlan to cure his eyes.
But Su Jingzhi’s heart was filled with warmth at Wei Wanlan’s caring gesture.
The suffering of blindness, the pain of the needle, didn’t matter. Xiao Wan was worth it.
For his sake, so that he could live properly even without his company in the future, for the peace of the Great Wei Empire, Su Jingzhi was willing.
The night was peaceful.
The Regent King decided to enjoy a moment of interaction with his beloved while his body was stable.
He then became more active in his mind, teasing the little fool, the Great Wei Regent King exerting himself to achieve his “hug Xiao Wan tonight” KPI:
“So this is the only technique a divine doctor has for treating eyes?”
“Uh…”
Wei Wanlan’s hand pinching his nose bridge paused slightly. He thought something was wrong. Why did the Regent King know that eye exercises have more than one part?
In fact, Wei Wanlan had his own small purpose in doing this. Since the Regent King had seen through him, he had to improve his service and couldn’t just perfunctorily massage the Jingming point.
Wei Wanlan propped himself up halfway, using both hands to touch the Regent King’s face.
His thumb pressed on his cheek, the other four fingers on the side of his face.
Holding Su Jingzhi’s head, his soft fingertips circled his cheekbones regularly, a standard massage of the Sibai acupoint. Wei Wanlan patiently massaged him.
But he didn’t realize.
That he had pressed his upper body tightly against the Regent King’s.
They were both wearing thin clothes, only silk pajamas as thin as cicada wings separating them, the texture was almost the same as not wearing anything. It was only when Wei Wanlan was pressed against Su Jingzhi’s muscles that he realized how close he was to the big baddie.
Wei Wanlan’s body trembled suddenly.
The temperature of their touching skin rose.
Wei Wanlan paused his movements, taking an unsteady breath, alerted by his own unsteady breathing. Even though he didn’t know why, he wanted to move away.
But how could Su Jingzhi let his prey escape?
Knowing that the little fool wasn’t very savvy in matters of love, teasing him was more interesting:
“You pressed too lightly, and stopped suddenly, my headache came back. It had just gotten better.”
What an act.
Having just said his head hurt, the Great Wei Regent King immediately seemed to be in unbearable pain, gasping for air on the dragon bed:
“My head hurts so much, I’m so dizzy. I see stars.”
“It doesn’t hurt, it doesn’t hurt, it doesn’t hurt. I’ll continue pressing, I’ll keep pressing for you, it won’t hurt anymore…”
If he had to choose the quality he admired most about Wei Wanlan.
He admired everything.
But his kindness was particularly striking.
Su Jingzhi watched as the little fool, feeling guilty, continued to massage him, getting closer and closer, the two of them were already past the simple blanket-covering distance, appearing very intimate.
Su Jingzhi was secretly delighted.
And he was not stingy in adding fuel to the fire.
He sighed softly, appearing very regretful:
“It’s getting used to it here, continuing won’t have much effect.”
“Then…then there’s also the Zan Zhu point…”
Wei Wanlan quickly started to massage, his small dragon claws touching the Regent King’s brows and eyes, feeling the slight protrusion under his fingertips, it was this brow that made the big villain look so handsome.
But the handsome big villain collapsed on the bed:
“No, it’s getting used to it here too.”
Why did it get used to it so quickly this time???
I clearly haven’t pressed much!
Wei Wanlan tilted his head in the night, looking puzzled, feeling that something was wrong.
But Su Jingzhi dispelled that worry with morality: “Head…ache. Your Majesty, please help me to the end. Cure the illness completely.”
“Okay, okay, I’ll keep pressing, keep pressing—”
Isn’t there still “press the temples and rub the eye sockets”!
Wei Wanlan had made up his mind to make the Regent King perfectly satisfied today.
So he pinned his hopes on the last move.
To make this eye exercise satisfactory, Wei Wanlan lifted the quilt with his dragon claws and tossed it to the side.
Without the quilt in the way, he had enough space to move around, darting around on the dragon bed. He rolled up his pajama sleeves, and used both hands to press the Regent King’s broad, strong shoulders.
Without a word, he straddled the Regent King’s body, then touched his face and eyes.
Only this time, he clearly felt the Regent King’s body stiffen for a moment. Wei Wanlan thought he was too heavy, apologized silently in his heart, and froze for a moment as well.
“What’s wrong?”
He felt himself being pushed upwards by the waist, and heard Su Jingzhi’s deep voice ordering him:
“Sit a little closer to the front. Then continue pressing.” The little fool knows how to set fire.
“Oh.” The big villain is so difficult to please.
…
In short, after a prolonged version of pressing the temples and rubbing the eye sockets, Wei Wanlan worked hard for a while, becoming slightly breathless from exhaustion.
He leaned forward and asked the Regent King about his experience:
“Is it better now? Is the headache gone?”
“A little better,” Su Jingzhi was pleased inside, but appeared calm on the surface. The Regent King said leisurely, “Your Majesty’s massage isn’t quite satisfactory. Please lean in closer, this King will tell you a more effective method for treating eye diseases.”
“Eh?”
Wei Wanlan was stunned when he heard this. His deer-like eyes blinked:
—No, could these eye exercises actually have a fifth part in ancient times?
No way?
Wei Wanlan was half-believing and half-doubting.
His wrist was held again, the force neither light nor heavy, perfectly balanced to avoid making him uncomfortable, but also not allowing him to resist.
Wei Wanlan was brought into the Regent King’s arms.
“Mm.” He was a little restless at first, twisting slightly. He had never been this close to Su Jingzhi before.
Last time at the Regent King’s mansion, although he slept with the big villain for a whole night, he was wrapped in a thick quilt.
This time was completely different…
He had never experienced such an intense sensation.
In the Regent King’s arms, he felt completely surrounded by the other’s scent, that woody scent he liked to secretly smell, now fully assaulting him.
Wei Wanlan was instantly dazed by the scent.
It smelled good.
So good that it made him want to sleep.
Then he yawned long and deeply, his dragon claws were stroked by the big baddie to his chest, and he instinctively grabbed onto a piece of his clothes.
Because the big baddie was so tall, even though they were both lying on their sides, he could feel himself enveloped by Su Jingzhi’s body. He tightened his grip on the fabric.
Wei Wanlan’s face was hot. Suddenly, he felt like a shrimp just taken out of water, red and wet.
He was a little embarrassed, feeling that something was wrong, but he couldn’t say exactly what was wrong.
He could only look up in the Regent King’s arms and ask:
“Does this cure the illness?”
“It does.”
“But how can grabbing clothes cure headaches and treat eyes?” Wei Wanlan felt that his common sense had been challenged.
Was it another special setting in this world of power struggles?
But Su Jingzhi was so assertive: “Yes, it can cure all of this King’s ailments.”
“Is it that magical?” He was even more confused.
“Yes.”
“Then okay. Anyway, I’m treating your illness, I’ll listen to you.”
His goal tonight was still to flatter the big villain well.
Since he liked this way…
Then Wei Wanlan had nothing to say. The important bargaining chip was to make the Regent King’s eyes stop hurting and his head stop aching.
Wei Wanlan snuggled up obediently. He was like a pearl nestled in a shell. He even rubbed against Su Jingzhi’s chest.
“Then I’ll treat your illness well.”
Little fool.
So sweet and soft, making the Regent King outwardly composed, but inwardly his mind exploded with fireworks as spectacular as the day of the military parade:
—To-night, he-hugged-Xiao-Wan.
KPI completed, the Great Wei Regent King was overjoyed.
To be honest, if he wasn’t afraid of hugging too tightly and scaring the little fool away, with the strength and possessiveness he wanted to use, he might really hurt Xiao Wan.
Xiao Wan’s back is so thin…
Xiao Wan’s shoulder blades are so delicate…
Xiao Wan’s pointy ears are still trembling…
Just as Su Jingzhi’s mind was full of Wei Wanlan, his heart turning into a pool of sugar water.
Wei Wanlan suddenly spoke.
His voice came from Su Jingzhi’s arms.
His voice was muffled, even more delicate and childish: “Regent King…”
“Speak.”
This voice was enough to make one give him any treasure. To cherish him well.
Wei Wanlan moved in his arms, suddenly tugging at his clothes, softly pleading:
“I’ve cured you, please, can you release Minister Xiao?”
