Chapter 163 Tang Wei's Kiss
Chapter 163 Tang Wei's Kiss
Ning Xiuyang's heart softened. He knew that he had completely "taken" this girl home.
He raised his hand, wanting to ruffle her hair as usual.
But at that moment, Tang Wei suddenly raised her head, and in her still reddened eyes, a light he had never seen before shone.
It was a mixture of gratitude, dependence, and admiration, as well as a hint of...resolute emotion.
The next second, before Ning Xiuyang could react...
Tang Wei suddenly leaned forward, her cool and soft lips precisely pressing against his.
Previously, she was treated as Li Mingfeng's child bride, and she always considered herself to be in that capacity, even secretly pleased that she could repay the Li family for their great kindness in raising her.
Now, she doesn't want to be just her brother's sister anymore. She's not satisfied with that. She also wants to repay her brother's kindness and support!
The entire ward fell silent instantly.
The air seemed to freeze.
Ning Xiuyang's pupils dilated slightly as he felt the softness and coolness on his lips, and the trembling that came with a desperate gamble.
He could smell the faint scent of disinfectant on her, and the salty taste of her tears.
The kiss was clumsy.
There was no skill involved, just a simple touch of lips to lips, yet it felt like an electric current, freezing him completely in place.
Tang Wei was also stunned.
When her lips touched Ning Xiuyang's lips, her mind went completely blank.
She didn't know why she was doing this.
Perhaps the words she had just heard had such a profound impact on her, or perhaps the phrase "They don't want you, but I do" gave her a sense of belonging.
In the deepest abyss of despair, this man, like a ray of light, forced his way in and told her, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
At that moment, all the gratitude, dependence, and admiration transformed into an uncontrollable impulse.
She wanted to catch that light.
Use all your strength.
Even if it's like a moth drawn to a flame.
Time seemed to stretch out infinitely at this moment.
One second, two seconds...
Tang Wei's cheeks turned from pale to bright red at a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally became so red that they were almost dripping blood.
God!
What...what did I just do?!
I actually kissed my brother!
An indescribable sense of shame and panic swept over her. She suddenly shrank back like a frightened rabbit, quickly pulled the blanket over her head, and curled herself into a ball.
It's all over, it ......
Will my brother think I'm a promiscuous girl?
Will he think I'm despicable?
Will he... hate me from now on?
Tang Wei hid under the covers, her heart pounding so hard it felt like it was going to jump out of her throat.
She bit her lip so hard she forgot to breathe, her mind a complete mess.
Ning Xiuyang sat on the edge of the bed and subconsciously touched his lips.
It seemed as if her soft touch and the salty taste of her tears still lingered on it.
He glanced down at the little guy huddled in the blankets, shivering, and a helpless yet doting smile crept onto his lips.
This girl...
Indeed, they always manage to do something unexpected.
However, he had no intention of pursuing the matter further.
For Tang Wei right now, what she needs is not the release of lust, but a sense of security and being cherished from the bottom of her heart.
That kiss was an impulsive act during her emotional breakdown, an instinctive reaction as she desperately searched for driftwood.
If I were to transform into a wolf right now, it would only scare her and make her think that I was taking advantage of her vulnerability.
Boiling a frog in lukewarm water is the best approach.
He wanted her to willingly jump into the pot herself.
Then, become the most dazzling pearl in the palm of your own hand.
Ning Xiuyang cleared his throat, pretending nothing had happened, picked up an apple and a fruit knife from the bedside table, and slowly began to peel it.
In the ward, only the soft rustling sound of apples being peeled could be heard.
Tang Wei, lying in bed, waited for a long time, but didn't hear the expected questioning or any other sound. Only the rhythmic sound of peeling an apple came from her, unhurried and unhurried.
She secretly peeked out from under the covers.
Ning Xiuyang was intently peeling an apple, his profile softened by the sunset, as if the earth-shattering kiss from before had never happened.
He...isn't angry?
Didn't you find me disgusting?
Tang Wei felt a little more at ease, but she still didn't dare to come out.
Soon, Ning Xiuyang peeled off a whole apple peel with a single, continuous stroke.
He cut the peeled apple into small pieces, put them on a plate, stuck a toothpick in it, and handed it to the ball of blankets.
"Alright, stop bottling it up, come out and have some fruit." His voice remained calm and gentle. "You just finished crying, so get some vitamins."
The tone was so matter-of-fact, as if this intimacy was simply their natural order of things.
Tang Wei hesitated for a long time, but in the end she couldn't resist the longing in her heart. Slowly, like a snail, she poked her little head out from under the covers.
Her cheeks were still flushed, and her eyes darted away; she didn't dare look at Ning Xiuyang at all.
"Brother...I..." she stammered, trying to explain something.
"Um?"
Ning Xiuyang raised an eyebrow and held a piece of apple to her mouth. "Open your mouth."
Tang Wei subconsciously opened her mouth, and the cool, sweet, and crisp apple chunks slid into her mouth, the sweet juice instantly quenching her dry throat.
"How long are you planning to hide?" Ning Xiuyang handed over another piece.
Tang Wei obediently ate it, but the blush on her face deepened. She muttered softly, "I...I didn't mean to..."
"Oh?" Ning Xiuyang looked at her leisurely. "Not on purpose? Then it was intentional?"
"No...no!"
Tang Wei was on the verge of tears, "I...I just...I just..."
Seeing her adorable, helpless expression, Ning Xiuyang finally couldn't help but laugh out loud.
He put down the fruit plate, reached out, and tried to pat her head as he used to.
But as she reached out halfway, Tang Wei instinctively shrank her neck, a hint of panic in her eyes.
Ning Xiuyang's hand paused in mid-air, then he understood.
The kiss just now broke down the "brother-sister" boundary between the two, making her instinctively wary and shy.
He withdrew his hand, no longer insisting, but sighed and said softly, "Alright, I won't tease you anymore. I don't blame you for what happened earlier."
Upon hearing this, Tang Wei suddenly raised her head, her eyes reddening again.
"I know you're upset, it was just a momentary impulse," Ning Xiuyang said earnestly, gazing into her eyes. "But, Weiwei, a girl's kiss is very precious, it shouldn't be given away casually."
Tang Wei's eyes welled up with tears, and she nodded vigorously.
"This is a one-time exception." Ning Xiuyang's tone became a little serious.
"Hmm..." Tang Wei lowered her head, her voice barely audible.
Seeing her so obedient, Ning Xiuyang felt both amused and sorry for her.
He pulled the blanket up to cover her bare shoulders and said softly, "Lie down and rest for a while. You're still very weak."
Tang Wei obediently lay back down, but her beautiful eyes kept secretly glancing at him.
Ning Xiuyang picked up his phone, leaned against the headboard, and started scrolling through Douyin (TikTok), seemingly not taking what had just happened to heart.
