Translator: Guy Gone Bad
Baili Jue was thrilled to hear that. Holding her tightly in his arms, he gave her a strong kiss, and said, “Xia Liang, you are seducing me again. You have to take care of my desire.”“Again?” Xia Liang frowned, looking at him, “too many times, not good for health.”
Baili Jue went speechless and finally held her tightly, and told himself that he still got a lot of time in the future.
And he didn"t believe that his health would be a problem no matter how often he did.
“You can start a hobby. Try more things and then you will know what you will like.” Baili Jue let go of her, and sent Defu to serve him.
“Like you? I started to like you once I have tried on you?” Xia Liang asked as she got out of bed and wore shoes.
He had spent so many lives with her. She got familiar with him and finally got to know more emotions such as pain, love, shyness, difficulty to let go, and missing someone.
Baili Jue went speechless again and argued, “I am not a thing. Besides, you chased me first. You seduced me. How is it the same thing?”
“We have known for a long time.” Xia Liang said, “otherwise, I wouldn"t have chased you in the first place.”
Baili Jue gave up again and finally agreed, “fine. It"s about the same. You will start to like one thing once you get to know it more. From now on, you can start to find out what you like.”
Xia Liang listened to him carefully and nodded, “as you said, I will give it a try.”
…
While Baili Jue kept Chen Jingsheng in the capital city, he sent his confidant to challenge Dongfeng Kingdom and defeated the Kingdom for multiple times.
With the victories, he had won soldiers" trusts and hearts. Gradually, Chen Jingsheng became less important. When the news spread, Baili Jue successfully forced Chen Jingsheng to hand over the military power.
By then, Baili Jue had all military power in his hand and thus no officials would dare to question him.
Therefore, no officials dared to advise the emperor to marry concubines after the emperor got married for three years and had no child yet but still loved the queen only. All they could do was to be jealous of Xia Yuanzheng for having such a wonderful daughter.
Finally in the fourth year, Xia Liang got pregnant.
When Baili Jue was told that she was pregnant, he was so happy and laughed like a fool. Even Defu secretly laughed at the emperor how inappropriate he was.
“A baby in here?” Xia Liang"s mind went blank as she felt her flat stomach.
“Yes.” Baili Jue said happily, hugging her, “Xia Liang, we finally have a baby. I have been working so hard for four years. Finally!”
Xia Liang gave him a look and said, “thank you for your hard work.”
“Ahem…” Baili Jue coughed a bit and answered seriously, “you are welcome. You are welcome. I will work harder after the baby is born and try my best to have more babies.”
…
Xia Liang and Baili Jue had been working on Xia Liang"s hobbies since the second of their wedding.
After a couple of years, Baili Jue asked her if she had found what she liked.
Xia Liang shook her head.
Baili Jue was disappointed and felt awful that Xia Liang couldn"t find her hobby. Then he continued to ask her, “is there anything else you are interested in except for me?”
Xia Liang gave it a thought and answered seriously, “having s.e.x with you.”
Baili Jue was thrilled by her answer, not disappointed at all.
Having s.e.x. He loved it!
But he didn"t show it but said proudly, “good. Good. You have a brilliant idea! Hang in there.”
They had had s.e.x almost on a daily basis ever since.
Now that Xia Liang got pregnant, they couldn"t do what both of them liked. When Baili Jue finally recovered from the happiness of being a father, his mood was not so pretty.
In the first three months, Baili Jue observed Xia Liang"s belly every day and wished that the baby could be delivered as soon as possible.
Especially when Xia Liang got serious sick during pregnancy, Baili Jue"s mood was even further down. He used to want more children. But when he saw how much Xia Liang had to go through, he decided that he would only want one.
When Xia Liang was six month pregnant, for the first time she felt the baby"s move. She put her hand on her belly and nothing moved in there for a while. Then she told Baili Jue, “watching him grow and feeling his existence is another thing I like. I have found it.”
Her belly got bigger and her body changed on a daily basis. Xia Liang draw her attention entirely to the baby.
When she felt the life inside her for the first time, her heart was full of great joy and satisfaction.
It felt so different what she felt about her husband.
Baili Jue leaned forward and kissed her on the lips, holding her hand, “Liang, having you in my life is the happiest thing ever!”
Your love is so pure and rare.
…
Fifty years later.
Baili Jue had a feeling that his life was about to come to an end. Perhaps next second, he wouldn"t be able to open his eyes and have a look at his girl.
He tried so hard to open his eyes, grabbing her hand, hating to let it go. He had a happy life, so happy that he didn"t want to leave.
“Brother, we will see in next life.” Xia Liang whispered.
Baili Jue"s eyes were wide open when he heard what she said. At the last moment of his life, every memory in the past flooded back before his eyes.
“Liang, I am so happy this life. Next time, wait for me to chase you.” Baili Jue tried hard to say, holding Xia Liang"s hand.
“Deal.” Xia Liang smiled, touching his grey hair, “don"t worry. I will leave with you.”
Baili Jue took a last look at her and rest a.s.sured by her. Having a smile on his face and holding Xia Liang"s hand, he died with her at the same time.
“You get one point of trust. Now you get all 100 points.”
At the last moment, Xia Liang finally fished her mission.
The reason why he saved the last trust not because he was unwilling to or he didn"t love her, but because he loved her so much that he was afraid of losing her.
Only death could take away his fear.
For a few lives they had been through, finally they lived happily in this life. They grew old with each other and died together.
