Chapter 185 Punishing Qin Yaoyao
Hearing Mu Feng's straightforward and unwavering answer, He Yanxi's previously tense face finally melted away like ice and snow, gradually revealing a faint expression of satisfaction. He nodded slightly in agreement, then gently waved his arm, the movement elegant and natural, like a breeze rippling across a calm lake. At the same time, he spoke in a calm and unperturbed tone, "Very well. Now that this matter is settled, you may leave." After speaking, He Yanxi didn't even glance at Mu Feng again, as if in that instant, Mu Feng had completely vanished from his sight.
Immediately afterward, He Yanxi turned around slowly and deliberately. His movements were incredibly light, like a fairy dancing gracefully; yet at the same time, they were so gentle and delicate, like the warm spring sunshine caressing the earth. At this moment, he was carefully holding Qin Yaoyao, his demeanor even more attentive than if he were protecting a rare treasure. Every step he took was steady and powerful, yet remarkably light.
And so, He Yanxi stepped steadily into the room. However, even after entering, he didn't let his guard down in the slightest. On the contrary, he became even more cautious. First, he tiptoed towards a chair near the table. When he reached the chair, he paused for a moment, adjusting his posture and strength, before gently and carefully placing Qin Yaoyao, whom he was holding, onto the chair. The whole process was slow and meticulous, as if afraid of any mishap. After doing all this, He Yanxi was finally able to relax a little and let out a long sigh. However, when his gaze fell on Qin Yaoyao again, a surge of concern and tenderness still welled up within him like a tide.
He Yanxi slowly bent down, his movements so gentle it was as if he were afraid of startling a frightened fawn. His tone was even more tender, like a gentle breeze in spring, as he softly said to Qin Yaoyao, "It's still early. If your tummy is rumbling, Yaoyao, why don't you eat something to tide you over? Otherwise, you won't feel good if you're hungry later."
At this very moment, Qin Yaoyao had been on tenterhooks and restless the entire way. Her heart was like a turbulent sea, surging and turbulent, completely without any clue. Because she had no idea how He Yanxi would punish her for her mistakes, how could she possibly be in the mood to enjoy the pleasure of food?
He Yanxi took in Qin Yaoyao's absent-minded appearance, and a slight, enigmatic smile involuntarily curved his lips. He then spoke with a hint of teasing, "Yao'er, what's wrong? Why aren't you eating? You know, this peach blossom cake has always been your favorite. Could it be that Yao'er is already tired of it?" A radiant smile suddenly bloomed on Qin Yaoyao's exquisite face, as beautiful and captivating as a spring flower. She parted her lips slightly and softly said, "How could that be?" As soon as she finished speaking, she reached out her slender hand and gently picked up a small, delicate pastry from the exquisite plate. Her movements were as graceful as a fairy dancing, captivating all who beheld her.
Then, she slowly brought the pastry to her mouth, slightly opening her cherry-like lips to take a small bite. In that instant, her already bright and captivating eyes sparkled with dazzling light, like brilliant stars in the night sky. Immediately afterward, she couldn't help but exclaim sincerely, "Mmm, absolutely delicious! Brother Xi, where did you find such a heavenly delicacy?! It's simply indescribable!" Without further ado, she devoured the remaining pastry in one gulp.
At this moment, He Yanxi gently raised his slender arm, his movement as light as if he were holding the most precious pearl in the world. Then, he slowly picked up the teapot and poured a steaming cup of fragrant tea into an exquisite teacup. Then, he carefully placed the cup of tea in front of Qin Yaoyao and said in a gentle and warm voice, like a warm spring breeze, "Here, have a cup of tea to soothe your throat! This is made from your favorite tea leaves."
Qin Yaoyao had just swallowed the last bit of pastry in her mouth, and her throat felt like parched land, desperately craving the nourishment of rain. Hearing He Yanxi's considerate words, a warm feeling welled up in her heart, and she quickly reached out to take the cup of fragrant tea that was still steaming.
Just then, as if by telepathy, He Yanxi handed Qin Yaoyao a cup of fragrant tea at the perfect moment. This cup of tea was like a timely rain, instantly quenching Qin Yaoyao's slightly dry throat.
Qin Yaoyao happily accepted the teacup, her beautiful face immediately blossoming into a radiant smile like spring flowers. Her large, bright eyes curved into crescent shapes as she looked at He Yanxi with a beaming smile, asking in a clear and melodious voice, "Brother Xi, how did you know I wanted some water?"
He Yanxi smiled as he gazed at the innocent, lovable girl before him, a tender feeling welling up in his heart. A slight upturn of his lips formed a doting and charming smile as he softly said, "Silly girl, these pastries are delicious, but they can be a bit dry. How could you not be thirsty after eating such a big piece in one go?"
After hearing this, Qin Yaoyao tilted her head and thought about it carefully for a moment. Then she nodded in sudden realization and said coquettishly, "Oh dear, Brother Xi is so thoughtful! I didn't even notice that." After saying that, she picked up her teacup and took a small sip. She immediately felt a warm and sweet taste spreading in her mouth.
He Yanxi watched Qin Yaoyao's playful and adorable expression with great interest, and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. A hint of mischief flickered in his eyes as he deliberately teased her, "Since Yao'er has eaten and drunk so happily, I wonder if you're already satisfied?"
Qin Yaoyao quickly put down her teacup, clasped her hands together in front of her chest, and nodded repeatedly with a satisfied expression, saying, "Yes, of course! Today is such a happy day. Not only did I get to taste so many delicious snacks, but Brother Xi was also by my side taking care of me." After saying that, she winked at He Yanxi, a look that was simply irresistible.
He Yanxi's lips curled into a wicked smile, like a crescent moon shimmering with cold light in the night sky, sending chills down one's spine. He parted his lips slightly, his voice as gentle as a spring breeze across a lake, soft yet carrying an undeniable authority: "Then let's go!"
Upon hearing He Yanxi's words, Qin Yaoyao was completely bewildered, as if she had fallen into a fog. Her beautiful eyes blinked rapidly, her face filled with confusion, and her cherry-like lips parted slightly as she stammered, "Where to... ah? Brother Xi."
He Yanxi turned his gaze to the somewhat dazed girl in front of him, who hadn't quite reacted yet. A hint of doting flashed in his eyes, but he still wouldn't let it go: "Of course I'm going to punish you!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Yaoyao's body jolted, and her mind instantly flashed back to all the foolish things she had just done. Oh no! She was in deep trouble; she had actually angered Brother Xi and was now going to punish her personally. Thinking of this, her face turned deathly pale, and she inwardly groaned. However, Qin Yaoyao wasn't one to give up so easily. Her eyes darted around, and a plan formed in her mind.
The next moment, Qin Yaoyao put on an extremely flattering smile and said in a sweet and coquettish voice, "Hehe, Brother Xi, look at you! You're like a celestial being descended from the heavens, incomparably handsome and elegant, captivating the hearts of countless girls! And your heart is so kind, as compassionate as a Bodhisattva who saves people from suffering. Someone as perfect as you would never stoop to my level! Please, have mercy on me this time, okay?" After saying that, she didn't forget to wink at He Yanxi.
However, He Yanxi seemed to have seen through Qin Yaoyao's thoughts long ago. The corners of his mouth lifted slightly, revealing a sly smile, and he replied with a half-smile, "Hmph, stop flattering me. Even if you flatter me to the heavens, you can't escape this punishment today."
As he spoke, He Yanxi's lips curled into a sly smile. Without hesitation, he took Qin Yaoyao's soft, boneless hand and slowly walked towards the bedside. At this moment, Qin Yaoyao was like a frightened deer, her eyes filled with fear and unease, constantly muttering, "I'm sorry, Brother Xi, I really know I was wrong..." However, her apology did not stop He Yanxi.
Finally reaching the bedside, He Yanxi gently pulled Qin Yaoyao to sit on the soft edge of the bed. Qin Yaoyao raised her head, her eyes like water as she looked at the man who had captivated her heart, and asked in a coquettish voice, "Brother Xi, how exactly do you want to punish me?" Her voice carried a hint of coquettishness.
He Yanxi smiled slightly, slowly approaching Qin Yaoyao's delicate face. His warm breath gently brushed against her ear, and then he said softly in a deep and magnetic voice, "Of course I'm going to devour you, this charming little vixen, alive!" As soon as he finished speaking, he pounced forward like a hungry tiger, instantly pinning Qin Yaoyao down.
The two stared at each other intently, their breaths audible. He Yanxi gazed into Qin Yaoyao's beautiful, captivating eyes and softly asked again, "Now, do you know how I'm going to punish you?" Qin Yaoyao's heart leaped with joy. She naively thought He Yanxi's punishment was simply a kiss. Thinking to herself, "It's just a kiss, how can that be a punishment? I'm overjoyed!" Without hesitation, she wrapped her arms around He Yanxi's neck, her face blooming with a radiant smile, and said coquettishly, "Hehe, I know~"
He Yanxi silently observed Qin Yaoyao's every move, his deep, bright eyes seemingly able to see through everything. He was perfectly aware of Qin Yaoyao's misunderstanding of his words, but he deliberately chose to remain silent, not in a hurry to explain or clarify. Instead, he continued casually, "Then, Yao'er, are you ready?"
Qin Yaoyao nodded slightly, her movements as gentle as a breeze rustling willow branches. Her sweet, delicate voice, like a nightingale's song, replied, "Of course, Brother Xi." At this moment, her cheeks were flushed like the sunset, her beautiful eyes were filled with affection like autumn water, and she exuded a captivating charm and shyness.
Seeing this, He Yanxi's lips curled into a slightly mocking smile. This smile, seemingly unintentional, actually concealed a hidden meaning, making his true intentions difficult to discern. He slowly spoke, "Alright, since you're all ready, then I'll begin!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Yaoyao's heart rippled with joy, like a lake touched by a spring breeze. The feeling was as acute and clear as a duck's sense of the changing water temperature in a warm spring river. A radiant smile, like spring blossoms, bloomed on her delicate face as she thought to herself, "Hehe, if I could really win him over today, wouldn't that be the greatest joy of my life? It would be wonderful!" Thinking of this, her girlish heart began to race like a wild horse, and her mind uncontrollably flashed back to romantic scenes of her and He Yanxi, spending warm and beautiful moments together.
Just as Qin Yaoyao was completely immersed in her carefully crafted fantasy world, filled with sweetness and happiness, she was utterly unaware that He Yanxi had already silently taken action... At this moment, Qin Yaoyao was completely absorbed in her boundless sea of thoughts, unable to extricate herself! However, without warning, she suddenly felt an unbearable itching sensation all over her body, as if thousands of tiny ants were happily crawling and wriggling on her skin. This sudden strangeness jolted her awake from her reverie. She instinctively raised her head, her eyes widening, and eagerly scanned her surroundings, trying to figure out what was happening. However, faced with the scene before her, she was momentarily at a loss, her once bright eyes now appearing somewhat dull and lifeless due to confusion and surprise.
