Chapter 81.2

The person did not answer, even the sound of his footsteps was so light that he could barely hear it.

At first Wen Chi thought that the person who came in was Zuo Zhi or some other maidservants but then he suddenly remembered that Zuo Zhi and those maidservants wouldn’t push the door open without his permission and the only person who would do so was… Shi Ye .

Thinking of this, Wen Chi’s hand holding the handkerchief trembled uncontrollably. He recalled all the things that happened last night and suddenly felt that even the air surrounding him had become hot.

He put the handkerchief into the basin, forced himself to dry his hands with another handkerchief and then turned and walked towards the outer room.

Before he could get close, he saw a green figure sitting at the table.

After the man heard his approaching footsteps, his eyes that were originally on the floor lifted up and then slowly fell on him.

Wen Chi spotted the mask on Shi Ye’s face at first glance.

He couldn’t help but freeze.

He remembered that Shi Ye didn’t have the habit of wearing a mask in front of him, maybe because he felt uncomfortable. Shi Ye didn’t like wearing a mask even more at night but tonight he put on that pure black half-face mask.

Wen Chi has to admit that after Shi Ye used a mask to cover the burn marks on his face, even if only half of his face was exposed, it was so beautiful that people couldn’t take their eyes off. Those long and narrow phoenix eyes calmly stared at Wen Chi, the deep black eyes reminded Wen Chi of the stars in the sky, with bits and pieces of luster in them, attracting him unconsciously.

After a long time, Wen Chi finally came back to his senses.

In the face of his repeated gaffes, he has learned to disregard them and even stepped forward a little cheekily, pretending that nothing happened.

After all, the other party was the one he had an intimate relationship with just last night. No matter how nonchalant Wen Chi pretended to be, he couldn’t overcome the shame and awkwardness in his heart and his face was burning with embarrassment.

He originally wanted to divert his attention by asking Shi Ye why he was wearing a mask, but as soon as his words reached his lips, he caught a glimpse of a small white porcelain bowl that was placed next to Shi Ye’s hand.

That small bowl held a brownish-color concoction, somewhat like Chinese medicine.

Wen Chi paused, the words circled around his mouth but changed in content when he said them, “This is?”

Shi Ye turned his head, followed Wen Chi’s gaze to look at the small white porcelain bowl at hand and said in a cold tone, “This is the Contraceptive concoction you wanted.”

Wen Chi fell silent.

His first reaction was how Shi Ye knew that he asked the maid for Contraceptives?

But thinking about it from another angle, that maid was originally Shi Ye’s person, so it’s not surprising that she conveyed what he said to Shi Ye.

But……

But–

Even though Wen Chi quietly asked the maidservant for contraceptives, when he saw Shi Ye bring the bowl with his own hands, he still felt suffocated, as if a ball of cotton was stuck in his throat, making it hard for him to even breathe.

Wen Chi stared at the contraceptive concoction.

After a while, he opened his mouth but his throat was so dry that he couldn’t squeeze out even a word.

In the end, Shi Ye beckoned to him: “Come here.”

It was only then that Wen Chi felt that he had broken free from some kind of spell. He raised his feet in a daze but took a step back.

Shi Ye noticed his movement and his eyes narrowed.

Wen Chi turned around and was about to go back to the inner room.

Unexpectedly, Shi Ye reacted faster. He got up and grabbed his wrist.

Wen Chi was caught off guard, staggered and slammed back into Shi Ye’s arms.

Shi Ye took the opportunity and reached out to imprison Wen Chi in his arms. The harder Wen Chi struggled, the tighter he hugged Wen Chi.

The two of them were at a standstill for a full cup of tea1(15min).

In the end, Wen Chi gasped for breath and a thin layer of water droplets oozed from his forehead. But his whole face was so pale that there was no blood. He realized that his strength was no match for Shi Ye, so he simply gave up struggling.

“If you let go of me, I’ll drink that bowl of medicine.” Wen Chi said,his voice hoarse.

He felt extremely uncomfortable and emotions that seldom made waves turned into raging tides at this moment, churning so high that it was enough to overwhelm him.

He closed his eyes and the sadness in his heart spread silently.

Vaguely, he smelled the faint fragrance from Shi Ye’s body, but he didn’t want to smell it again, and he held his breath, so his face became even more terribly pale.

Until Shi Ye let go of him slowly, he pushed Shi Ye away fiercely and hurriedly took two steps back.

The corners of Wen Chi’s eyes turned red and he took a deep breath.

Obviously he could breath but the terrible feeling of suffocation in his heart did not dissipate.

Wen Chi didn’t look at Shi Ye again, strode to the table, picked up the bowl with contraception and was about to pour it into his mouth.

Suddenly, a hand blocked his eyes.

Wen Chi was forced to stop but he lowered his eyes, stubbornly unwilling to look at Shi Ye.

Shi Ye saw his petal-like thin lips tightly pursed, even though he tried his best to pretend he didn’t care, the violently trembling eyelashes betrayed his thoughts.

“Bengong…” Shi Ye started but it took him a long time to continue saying, “It’s not that I don’t want children.”

Wen Chi looked down at his reflection in the concoction, as if he didn’t hear Shi Ye’s voice.

Shi Ye paused for a moment before continuing, “Bengong can’t have children yet.”
