Chapter 1314 The sour smell of love

"Mmm." Xiao Man’s acting was impeccable, her smile left Li Sinian without a doubt.

They were both hiding something from each other, he thought she didn’t know, and she made him believe she didn’t.

"Let me hypothetically put it this way," she looked up at him, "What if, just in case, they never develop a cure and I end with... can you promise me this? I want the last thing I see to be your smile."

"...Alright." He was controlling his emotions.

Even he could feel the tremor in his voice when he said that word.

"Alright~" She flipped over, pinning him down, giving him a peck on the lips, pulling the corners of his mouth up with her hands, "Blame me for ruining the mood, smile a bit. I was just speaking hypothetically, it won’t happen! I’ve got a strong life force! I’ve overcome many hardships before."

"Mmm," Li Sinian also kissed her on the lips, pulling her up, "Get out of bed, you wash up first, I’ll head downstairs to see what we can eat."

"Okay~"

Xiao Man happily responded, sticking close to him, "Let’s wash together."

"Sure." He couldn’t refuse any of her requests.

...

The two stood in front of the sink in their pajamas, Xiao Man standing in front, leaning back, with Li Sinian wrapping an arm around her waist.

In front of them was a mirror that showed them clearly, they brushed their teeth in sync, glancing at each other in the mirror, Xiao Man burst into laughter.

With her mouth full of foam, a laugh would almost make it spill out, Li Sinian naturally lifted his hand, wiping at her chin.

They continued brushing their teeth as if nothing happened.

In this space filled with the sweet smell of love, fortunately, there was no third person around, or else they’d be force-fed a faceful of affection unexpectedly, needing some royal dog food to calm down.

There wasn’t anything particularly funny, but after catching Li Sinian’s gaze in the mirror, Xiao Man laughed again.

She didn’t even know what she was laughing about, it was just an inexplicably good mood, and she couldn’t resist laughing.

Li Sinian was also smiling, he was much taller than her, lightly patting her head, he mumbled, "Hurry up and wash, don’t swallow the foam."

Seeing her laugh like that, he was really worried.

But Xiao Man fell in love with this play, raising her hand, dipping a finger in the foam used to soften Li Sinian’s beard, playfully dotting it on his forehead.

Very satisfied with her work, she nodded while brushing her teeth and grinned.

Li Sinian just chuckled, completely indifferent to her prank, not even bothering to wipe the foam from his forehead, affectionately ruffling her hair, "Hurry and wash up."

With him, she didn’t need to be mature, nor strong. He simply wished for her to be like a little girl, to not have to think about anything, peacefully being his little princess.

He would build a fortress for her, ensuring no one could harm her anymore.

Li Sinian finished washing his face first and went downstairs.

After Xiao Man was done, she splashed some water on her face, applied some cream, and she was ready.

Looking at herself in the mirror, she smiled and patted her cheeks.

She wasn’t sad, she wanted to live each day well, having no regrets even if she had to leave.

Before heading downstairs, all that remained on her face was a smile.

Eager to see him quickly, she sped downstairs, hopping down the steps two or three at a time.
