He laid Ning Wanwan flat on the bed, his gaze burning as he slowly undressed her.
Ning Wanwan hurriedly grabbed his hands, stopping him, “Brother Zhan, please spare me. In broad daylight, can we change the punishment method?”
Si Zhan paused, slightly furrowing his brow in thought. Just as she thought he was considering an alternative punishment, he looked up, uncertainly blurting out, “…You want to be on top?”
Ning Wanwan was stunned, not immediately understanding. When she caught the mischievous smile in his eyes, she realized what he meant, her face turning hot as she covered it and said, “Brother Zhan!”
Si Zhan laughed heartily, and she became even more embarrassed, pulling the blanket over her head.
He lay down, gently pulling away the blanket, caressing her small hand. “I know what you’re worried about. Don’t worry. I’ve been lying down for seven days, and my body has recovered well.”
“But…” Ning Wanwan felt that Si Zhan seemed too eager about intimacy, almost to the point of obsession.
But she knew that Si Zhan was not someone who indulged in carnal desires.
Si Zhan suddenly said seriously, “Wanwan, shall we have a child?”
Ning Wanwan’s eyes widened, shocked. A child… She had never thought about it, or rather, had never dared to. She knew Si Zhan was physically weak and might find it difficult to have offspring, and given his difficult circumstances, she wasn’t sure if a child would be a blessing or a curse.
Yet when Si Zhan expressed his desire for a child, her heart fluttered, a softness blooming within her. After a moment, she lowered her eyelashes and shyly nodded, “…Okay.”
Si Zhan was exceptionally gentle this time, careful to avoid touching her wound. They embraced each other afterwards. Ning Wanwan looked at Si Zhan’s sleeping profile, memories of her childhood companion surfacing.
“Little sister, are you awake?” Little Ning Wanwan opened her eyes to see little Si Zhan’s wet face enlarged before her.
“Where is this?” She found herself leaning against a wet, cold stone, with a stream and mountain walls around her.
“This seems to be a valley shallow beach. We were washed downstream and stranded here,” he said.
Little Ning Wanwan was startled, her voice hoarse, “How do we get back?”
