The Killer's Cleansing Manual

Chapter 204 "Do you want me to stay?" "Yes."

After returning to the general's mansion, Ye Xi still couldn't forget what he had said to Liu Tao. He kept thinking about those words and repeatedly trying to figure out how he felt.

Liu He was sitting next to her. The carriage was shaking as it passed through the cobblestone streets, making noises, but this man remained silent. He had been worried since he left the palace. What was he thinking about?

Taoer pulled her to the back and said something else?

Liu He stared at his toes and guessed over and over again in his mind. After looking for a long time, he felt a little tired.

Today she had gotten up early to dress up in order to meet her father, and she was already tired. Moreover, she had been sitting all day, and now it was so late, she was getting more and more sleepy.

She first leaned her head against the wall of the carriage, but the carriage was shaking frequently and it was not pleasant to keep hitting her head.

Ye Xi unconsciously began to pay attention to her condition when she began to nod because she was so sleepy. Seeing her head hitting the car wall again and again, he struggled in his heart. Finally, he gritted his teeth, pressed Liu He's far shoulder, and leaned her head on his shoulder.

Liu He seemed to wake up for a moment and uttered a puzzled syllable. Ye Xi didn't dare to look at him and quickly turned his face away: "Go to sleep, I'll call you when we get there."

The corners of Liu He's lips curved slightly.

That’s right, I was stupid. There was clearly a comfortable shoulder right next to me, so why didn’t I think of leaning on it?

She took the initiative to hug Ye Xi's arm and put all her weight on Ye Xi.

"Thank you for your hard work, Xi'er."

The tone was like willow catkins brushing against the tip of the heart, light and floating, leaving behind a slight itch.

Ye Xi's lips shrank. Although the weight on her shoulders was not that heavy, she felt much more stable.

The problems that I couldn't figure out just now and the uncertain mood all fell to the ground in an instant, and I was able to enjoy the tranquility of the moment peacefully.

The carriage turned another street and Liu He seemed to be fast asleep. His breathing became even and the frequency of his chest rising and falling became slower and slower.

Ye Xi's gaze began to glance down uncontrollably. She knew what this person looked like when he was asleep. They had had several opportunities to sleep together.

But now I just want to see her again. In fact, what difference will it make? But I just want to see her again.

From this angle, most of the view is the top of the head. Only the curled eyelashes and the tip of the nose can be seen clearly. Everything else...

Ye Xi's gaze fell on Liu He's chest. As the rhythm of her breathing rose and fell, Ye Xi's own breathing frequency was gradually assimilated.

She suddenly remembered that the last time she was waiting for Liuhe to take a bath, she showed her He Miohua, and she had accidentally seen the outline of her breasts at that time.

Ye Xi's face turned red from her ears. She closed her eyes tightly, and the little man in her mind took a big broom and swept away the lingering images.

But it’s very difficult, and it seems that even a big scoop cannot collect it all.

[I finally met you...]

Ye Xi recalled the sleep talking she said when she slept with her for the first time. He did not understand the meaning at that time, but now he realized that when she said this, she was sighing with fulfillment.

Knowing that we could swap identities, she diligently studied etiquette a month in advance, right? Just to meet me, how much thought and preparation did she put into it?

Ye Xi stared at Liu He's eyelashes. Although she couldn't see her eyes, those dark gray eyes had already appeared clearly in her mind.

What kind of life would it be to be in a dark room all year round? Is it unfair to be someone else's shadow?

Ye Xi didn't know whether she should tell her this. In fact, she was immersed in her own thoughts and didn't realize that she was feeling sorry for Liu He.

This feeling is not heavy at all, but profound.

This doesn't make me feel burdened, but rather lucky. It is indeed a blessing to be cherished so silently by someone and to be held in her palm for so long.

The carriage stopped in front of the general's mansion. Ye Xi lowered the curtain, opened his mouth, subconsciously cleared his throat, and switched to a gentler voice: "We're here."

Liu He woke up hazily, and she turned towards Ye Xi consciously. Her eyelashes seemed to be entangled with each other and stretched apart. Her dark gray eyes were like a foggy swamp, dark and full of mystery.

"We're here." Liu He murmured, and first massaged Ye Xi's shoulders: "Are you tired? Are you sore?"

Her touch gave Ye Xi goose bumps and his muscles tensed instantly.

Liu He naturally pinched her tense arms. When he lowered his eyes slightly, he saw her neck covered with goose bumps and couldn't help laughing.

"Why are you reacting so strongly? Did it hurt?"

Ye Xi shook her head: "No, let's... let's go down."

She got off the carriage as if to escape, but Liu He would eventually have to return to her yard, so where else could he escape to? Ye Xi, understanding this, stood obediently beside the carriage, acting as Liu He's armrest.

Liu He lifted the car curtain and saw her raising her hand and waiting, feeling a little confused.

Ye Xi explained stiffly: "This car is very high, let me help you."

Liu He smiled and put his hand on her wrist: "Okay, Xi'er is still thoughtful and considerate."

Ye Xi's ears were burning with praise, and the corners of her lips curled up. She took out some change and rewarded the father-in-law who was driving the car, and then the two of them went in together.

The lanterns were held high, illuminating the snow beside the eaves into an orange-red color, which was pleasing to the eye.

Ye Xi found that he couldn't help but glance to the side. At first he tried to restrain himself, but later he just let it go.

"...Didn't your father ask you to go back?" She found a clumsy topic to break the silence.

Liu He chuckled: "Didn't I say I would protect you? Are you so eager for me to leave?"

Ye Xi quickly denied it. She felt that with someone like Liu He's personality, if there was a question that might make her depressed, she should be answered immediately.

"I'm not hoping you'll leave." On the contrary, I hope you don't leave.

She was too embarrassed to even think about the words she didn't say out loud, let alone tell them to Liu He.

Liu He looked over with a smile: "So... do you want me to stay?"

She just said it casually and didn't think Ye Xi would give her an answer. After saying this, she looked at the moon.

The moonlight was clear and warm, and when it fell into her eyes, a soft but firm response came from her side.

"Yes."

Liu He stood there in a daze. At this moment, the moon fell from the sky and landed straight in her heart, dispelling the haze of more than 20 years and spreading its clear light for thousands of miles.
