Chapter 208: Bouncing and Jumping
Inside the room.
Jiang Huai had only lit a small lamp by the bed. Chu Xianning was already lying on the bed, with the serene moonlight spilling through the window onto her porcelain-white body. Jiang Huai gently pulled the quilt over her, covering Chu Xianning’s body. She turned her head towards him, and Jiang Huai brought over a chair to sit by the bed.
“How about I tell Master a story?”
“You... tell...” Chu Xianning’s voice was slightly sluggish.
Jiang Huai had many, many stories in his mind. After thinking for a while, he decided to tell Chu Xianning a fairy tale. He slowly began,
“Legend has it that deep in the ocean, there exists a race of mermaids...”
The story ended with the mermaid princess turning into colorful bubbles under the sun. She did not gain her love, but she obtained an immortal soul.
His story ended, and when he looked at Chu Xianning, her eyes were still gazing at him. The eyes of his master were not cold at this moment, but rather, there was a hint of tenderness. However, her cheeks seemed to still be a bit flushed. She gently tugged at the quilt, turned her body to face Jiang Huai, and asked.
“Is there more?”
“There’s more. If Master wishes to listen, I have many, many more.”
Jiang Huai continued to tell Chu Xianning slightly modified fairy tales. Chu Xianning just listened quietly, and everything in the darkness seemed to become extremely silent, leaving only the sound of Jiang Huai’s voice and Chu Xianning’s faint breathing.
