"..." Jun Moyan was momentarily speechless.
He smiled and pinched Wen Xiao’ai’s little face, "You still know how to be shy?"
"Hmph~" Wen Xiao’ai hummed softly, her arms tightening around Jun Moyan’s neck, pulling them even closer.
"Jun Moyan, hurry up, you haven’t kissed me yet."
This little thing, really... flirting both openly and subtly, yet not understanding anything herself.
Jun Moyan lowered his head to kiss her forehead, "There, there."
Wen Xiao’ai was overjoyed seeing Jun Moyan kiss her again.
As soon as Jun Moyan said that was enough, she was not satisfied.
"It’s not enough, one is not enough. My face still hurts, my chin hurts, my mouth hurts, everything hurts. All need kisses, lots and lots of kisses."
"How about next time?"
It’s not that he was being pretentious, he was just worried something might happen~
"No, I cried all day yesterday, was scared all day, hungry all day, you need to comfort me properly." As she remembered Jun Moyan’s situation yesterday, Wen Xiao’ai’s eyes couldn’t help but well up with tears, clearly still somewhat frightened.
Jun Moyan caressed her little face, overwhelmed with heartache and guilt.
He knew she was really scared.
"Don’t be afraid, even if I die, I will still watch over you."
"I forbid you to die, you are not allowed to die in the future either. Jun Moyan, I don’t want another life, no matter how many lives I don’t want them, I just want you now. I don’t want to see you die, I don’t want you to forget me, I’m scared."
Wen Xiao’ai’s voice choked again, pursing her little mouth, holding back the tears.
Jun Moyan’s heart tightened severely.
From the beginning, he was afraid of what Wen Xiao’ai feared.
Watching the person you love die helplessly, is truly the cruelest thing in this world.
And between them, it’s even more cruel.
Because she might really watch him grow old, die, again and again.

So he kept reminding himself to be ruthless when necessary, or else it would hurt her horribly in the future, making her cry much more than now, perhaps leaving a shadow for her entire life.
But he truly couldn’t do it.
He tried, clutching his heart, saying he didn’t like her anymore, even ruthlessly trying to push her away.
But she said: "Then, could you like me again? I would be very good and obedient." He couldn’t utter another cruel word.
"... I won’t let you see that."
If in this life, he could indeed accompany her to the end of his life, he definitely wouldn’t let her watch him leave.
"Is it really possible, but you humans have such short lifespans..."
Obviously, Wen Xiao’ai thought when Jun Moyan said he wouldn’t let her see, he meant he wouldn’t die, not that he wouldn’t let her see him die.
"Can we not talk about this?"
After experiencing life and death, he finally mustered up enough courage and determination to hold onto her tightly and didn’t want to be defeated so quickly by these helpless realities.
"You didn’t eat anything yesterday, that will weaken you, let’s have breakfast first."
A whole day without eating while crying must have left her starving.
"... Then, kiss me one more time."
Finally having the chance to make Jun Moyan so heart-achingly care for her, she wanted to get as much as possible.
After receiving another kiss from Jun Moyan, Wen Xiao’ai returned Jun Moyan with kisses all over his face, only then willing to follow him to wash up and eat.
Baiyi looked at Shangguan Yu, who was sitting at the topmost step of the stairs with an air of superiority, feeling a bit puzzled.
"Young Master Shangguan, what are you doing? Acting as the Stair God?"
