Chapter 638: A Beautiful Morning, Dreams Come True

"My lord?" Bai Wei asked, puzzled. "Your dream of tonight is worth a fortune, like a moment of spring night?"

"I just want you to be my husband for one night."

"Why does that sound so improper?"

"That’s because you see things with colored glasses."

"Maybe it’s also because you drive recklessly too often," Bai Wei touched his lips. "You may be a puppet now, but I am not."

"Then why didn’t you hide?" Xue Hanlei asked leaning on his shoulder. "You could have avoided it."

"A bit surprised, aren’t you?" Bai Wei couldn’t explain why he didn’t dodge. "Didn’t expect you to be unexpectedly brave."

"I wanted to kiss, and since you didn’t hide, that’s perfect," Xue Hanlei chuckled self-deprecatingly. "I feel a bit reckless, not sure if it’s from feeling guilty or just impulsive, but anyway… I did it, probably wouldn’t have done it if it wasn’t you."

"Is it?"

"Yeah, I’m not really familiar with this kind of thing," Xue Hanlei blushed, maybe from the alcohol, or maybe from shyness. "I really don’t understand it, never tried it, never had the chance."

Bai Wei felt a connection, "Seems like we’re alike, I am useless at holding on, and you are hard to fill."

Xue Hanlei laughed, "Not the same, you can anytime you want, I can’t even if I wanted to, no chance."

"So are you taking this last chance on this last night, seeking some excitement, having an affair within marriage?" Bai Wei asked teasingly.

He lowered his head, and saw Xue Hanlei’s gaze, different from before, like adding three spoons of sugar to moonlight, creating a gentle sweet taste with a touch of poignant tranquility to balance its sweetness.

She gently scolded. I’m serious.

Bai Wei looked away and thought to himself, "I guess I’ve turned into a brave bull."

Xue Hanlei said softly, "I know I don’t have any advantage compared to other girls, so I don’t expect much. Just for one night, after the dawn, there will be no more chances. Seizing every moment to enjoy life is my motto. Since I want it so much, I’ll just do it. You don’t need to feel guilty. I just crave the sense of security you bring, speaking selfishly."

Bai Wei felt a surge like an electric current flowing down his spine, and he exclaimed. You are actually very understanding. You would make a good wife.

"I was raised by my mother, so of course I would be with her." Xue Hanlei paused and then said. But I’m not your wife. What exactly is the nature of our relationship? I don’t quite understand, and I don’t know what you are thinking.

Bai Wei said. Perhaps we could be considered friends?

"If we are friends, then what about what just happened?" Xue Hanlei asked.

"Coincidence? Chance? Like two people forced to take off their clothes to keep warm under a big snowy mountain…" Bai Wei tried to explain.

Then she cupped his face, lifted her face again, and kissed him, much more intensely than before, with a strong desire for affirmation and possession, even biting his lip slightly, leaving a faint mark.

"What now?" Xue Hanlei was breathing heavily and irregularly.

"…It’s lust," Bai Wei said confidently.

Xue Hanlei leaned in closer and said. Feel it again.

Bai Wei held her forehead and said. Let me catch my breath first… Your kissing hurts my lips, your technique is so terrible.

"Aren’t you the same? Both of us are stiff."

"I’m different."

"How are you different?"

"I prefer being passive."

"How interesting, I prefer being active…" Xue Hanlei added. But I also like it when someone forces me, you can give it a try.

"No need, I remember how your butt feels, I didn’t wash my hands for a whole day after that," Bai Wei said with a fresh memory.

"I am confident about my figure," Xue Hanlei chuckled. "But you missed your chance, it’s too late now."

"Yeah, I’m not interested either," Bai Wei said, resting his chin on his hand. "Lu Yunchuan mentioned something about leaving a mark before."

Xue Hanlei rested her chin on her hand and asked. The heroic spirit is watching you, why did you still sign the life-and-death contract?

"Because I’m sure I can win," Bai Wei said. "Because this method is the most suitable, and because I plan to avenge the Hongze family. I am a man of my word, I will follow through with my actions."

"Are you saying that tomorrow won’t be the end?"

"Of course not, you can consider what to do after gaining freedom," Bai Wei asked with a smile. "You must have plenty of things you want to do, right?"

"Hmm, let me think…" Xue Hanlei was influenced by him, and instead of facing a dangerous situation the next day, she began to talk to herself while touching her chin, "If I could regain my freedom, the first thing I would do is accompany my mother for her treatment."

"What if your mother’s illness slowly gets better?"

"I, I don’t know…" Xue Hanlei looked at the moonlight, feeling confused, "I, never thought about it."

Dreams are dreams, reality is reality.

She just felt overwhelmed by reality and couldn’t lift her head, never considering how she could enjoy her freedom in the distant future.

For her, being able to swim freely in Huaishui as a dragon was already overwhelming happiness, with no energy left to think about the future.

Bai Wei smiled gently, "It’s okay, you can take your time to think, we have plenty of time."

Xue Hanlei couldn’t force a smile, she sighed, "I thought I was optimistic, but you are even more so. For me, the best thing in the world is for my mother to recover from her illness. I can’t imagine anything beyond that… I’ve never thought of revenge or anything. I may be arrogant, but I also feel powerless. If I can’t maintain this arrogance, I fear reality will crush me."

"No one can walk with me."

"No one would bear such pressure."

"So, I swear that even if I’m covered in injuries and broken bones, I won’t cry out for help. This is my persistence, my foolishness. I have no shame before the heavens, my parents, or the world, only before myself."

"I don’t need anyone’s pity and sympathy, and no one stands with me."

Her voice was firm, but it trembled at the end of the sentence.

"But… I am starting to feel scared now."

"I am starting to regret."

She held Bai Wei’s hand.

"I am afraid you will really die in Hongze."

"I regret involving you. If we hadn’t met in the first place, we wouldn’t have ended up with such terrible results."

"This is no longer a fair exchange."

"I should have stopped you from the beginning, but I lost to my own laziness, still unable to resist getting close to you, relying on you… Knowing that this would also drag you down into the abyss, I’m like a drowning person, holding onto you as we both plunge into the icy water, too scared to let go, unwilling to let go."

"This outcome is all my fault, it’s my mistake."

She was a bit drunk, her emotions spiraling out of control, pouring out like a release, instantly drowning her rationality, revealing her vulnerable and uncontrollable emotions, showcasing a heart full of scars and wounds.

Bai Wei looked at the nonsensical Xue Hanlei, every word she spoke was drunken babble, raw and unfiltered truths, she didn’t want to involve others, trapped in her own helplessness, only able to sacrifice herself unilaterally.

"Stop." Bai Wei grabbed her wrist.

"I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I… " Xue Hanlei was still out of control.

"I said, stop crying!" Bai Wei cupped her face, speaking with a low and firm voice, his expression regaining its stern authority.

Xue Hanlei hesitated for a moment, lowering her head gently, and said in a plaintive tone, "You’re scolding me again…"

Bai Wei had dealt with this kind of situation before, in a previous life, many had suffered mental breakdowns during war, the cruel scenes of death could shatter anyone’s rationality, exposing their most fragile side, comforting her, what he needed to do was actually quite simple.

He held Xue Hanlei, supporting her weight, intervening and persuading her through the power of souls, "Go to sleep, close your eyes, rest well…"

Her expression was a bit unclear, but she stubbornly refused to close her eyes, "I can’t sleep yet."

"Why can’t you sleep?" Bai Wei said. "There will be good things in dreams, it will be a good dream."

"It’s already a beautiful dream now," Xue Hanlei murmured. "It’s as if one night, I married a good husband, became a good wife, had a happy family, father and mother safe…"

"Is it really that simple what you want?" Bai Wei slightly loosened his grip.

"Simple?" Her gaze still dazed, becoming more awake, unsure if she was drunk or sober. She reached out her hands, around Bai Wei’s neck and shoulders, whispering softly, "Then please, grant me a night of sweet dreams…"

She closed her eyes, tiptoed, treating it as a night of beautiful dreams, indulging and seeking without restraint. She dared not hope for the good dream to come true.

She was still drunk, fell asleep, slumbering on the desk.

Bai Wei covered his lips, being attacked three times in one night, making him also intoxicated.

He clenched his fist under his chin, looking at Xue Hanlei, watching her mouth with a faint color gently inhale and exhale, a strange desire brewing.

"I almost lost control, my self-control is getting worse."

"Let’s save it for next time, and when your dreams come true, I will ask for some reward in return."

Holding back a certain impulse, the young man exhaled the smell of alcohol, "I am almost drunk… It’s true that being with a married woman triggers a sense of guilty pleasure, it’s really hard to resist."
