Transmigrating to a Female-Dominated World: Handsome Men Keep Chasing After Me

Chapter 363

After explaining the precautions, A-Man left. Pei Yunche moved a stool and stood guard by the bedside, waiting for Nalan Jingwen to wake up.

He had always known that Nalan Jingwen was tolerant. When he first saw her in prison, he was shocked by the scars all over her body. At that time, he thought that he had seen how prisoners of war were pried open when his mother sent him to the army. Prisoners of war were also human beings, so his mother ordered that no severe torture be used. However, the instruments of torture used on Nalan Jingwen were even more cruel than those prisoners of war. They hardly treated her as a human being.

His first reaction was heartache, intense pain, unbearable pain.

They're clearly sisters, so why did things turn out this way?

Then came relief and lingering fear. Luckily, Nalan Jingwen was still alive, and luckily she hadn't given up.

He wanted to hold her and say thank you, thank you for being alive, thank you for holding on for so long.

Otherwise, he really wouldn't know what to do.

Later, he watched as Nalan Jingwen's breath grew weaker and weaker, and unease and fear enveloped him. But Nalan Jingwen still persevered day after day because of his words, even though the pain made her almost unable to speak. Every time he saw her in so much pain, he regretted it. Why did he have to force her to live? Why did he have to make her suffer so much?

At that time, he even wanted to tell Nalan Jingwen that she didn't need to work so hard. If she couldn't hold on, then she shouldn't. If it could make her less miserable, then she should be selfish.

But he couldn't bring himself to say it. He was afraid of losing Nalan Jingwen and could only watch helplessly as Nalan Jingwen suffered so much, while he could do nothing about it.

Pei Yunche lay down next to Nalan Jingwen fully clothed, occupying only a small space. Afraid of touching her wounds, he gazed longingly at her face, his eyes red, tears falling silently.

Thank you so much, Nalan Jingwen.

Nalan Jingwen seemed to have a dream. In the dream, someone held her face and said they felt sorry for her, sorry for what she had gone through, sorry for her strength, sorry for how much she had endured alone, how she had never confided in anyone about her suffering, and how she had just gritted her teeth and swallowed it all alone. She couldn't see the person's face, she could only see the person's tearful eyes, every tear falling for her.

Because of her strength and resilience, the harm and suffering she endured are often overlooked.

Nalan Jingwen wanted to hug him, she wanted to tell him that it didn't hurt, that she was okay, but she couldn't touch him. He just stared at her, and a gentle kiss landed on her cheek.

Finally, the man said, "Thank you for being alive."

Nalan Jing woke up and looked at the familiar rooftop, feeling as if she had been transported to another world. She felt a warm touch beside her and turned her head to see Pei Yunche sleeping next to her, his eyes closed, his eyelashes still glistening with tears, his eyes red and wet, and his brows furrowed.

Seeing Pei Yunche sleeping beside her, she unexpectedly felt a sense of peace.

She leaned closer with difficulty, tilted her head slightly, kissed away the tears on his eyelashes, and pressed her forehead against his. Their breaths were shallow, and the moonlight outside the window was soft and peaceful.

Inside the cabin, two bodies huddled together for warmth, finding a long-lost comfort in the quiet, desolate night.

Nalan Jingwen fell into a deep sleep again, and when he woke up again, the sun was already high in the sky.

As soon as Pei Yunche opened his eyes, he was met with Nalan Jingwen's face so close to his. His breath hitched, and he deliberately softened his breathing before quietly moving closer. His slightly dry lips carefully touched her cheek until he felt a soft, warm touch on his lips. His heart, which had been slightly raised, gradually settled down.

very nice.

Wanting to see her more, but also afraid that Nalan Jingwen would be hungry when she woke up, he could only reluctantly go out to prepare food. Nalan Jingwen slept for much shorter than he had imagined. He thought she would sleep for two or three days, but she woke up in the afternoon.

At that time, Pei Yunche was dozing off by the bedside, propping his head up. When Nalan Jingwen woke up, he saw Pei Yunche's head swaying back and forth. He didn't want to disturb Pei Yunche's sleep, but he didn't expect Pei Yunche to wake up first. When he saw Nalan Jingwen wake up, he instantly became awake.

"You're awake! Is anything bothering you?"

"Are you hungry? I've made some porridge. I'll go bring it in. Someone said you can't eat meat now and can only eat light food."

"When you feel better, I'll make you something else to eat, okay?"

Pei Yunche kept talking, while Nalan Jingwen just watched him quietly without saying a word.

Meeting Nalan Jingwen's calm eyes, his voice gradually weakened, "...What's wrong?"

Nalan Jingwen's lips curved into a slight smile, his voice was a little hoarse, and his eyes were calm.

"I had a dream."

Pei Yunche blinked, somewhat puzzled, "What did you dream about?"

I dreamt about someone.

"Male and female?"

"man."

Pei Yunche was displeased. He pouted and looked away from her. "Is it pretty? Why are you telling me? Did I disturb your rendezvous with your dream lover?"

Nalan Jingwen's eyes were gentle. "I can't see clearly, but she must be very beautiful."

She tells the truth.

Pei Yunche's expression darkened further. How could this person be like this?! He woke up and immediately started saying these things to him!

Nalan Jingwen is indeed a bastard!

He simply turned his face away and stopped talking.

Nalan Jingwen looked at his angry expression and her heart softened a little. "He's just as clumsy as you, with a loud voice, and he always calls me a bastard. He's so spoiled, loves to act like a rascal, and always cries while holding me."

Pei Yunche paused, lowered his eyes, and remained silent.

Nalan Jingwen's gaze fell on his profile, where sunlight streamed in through the window, blurring his features.

"But then he hugged me, tears streaming down his face, and said he felt sorry for me. He thanked me for surviving."

"Actually, he didn't know that he was also a fool. He was all alone, yet he resolutely took me with him through hardships. He was spoiled since childhood, yet he still learned to cook and take care of people. He suffered so much himself, yet he only felt sorry for me."

"Pei Yunche, do you think he's an idiot?"

Pei Yunche felt that the sunlight outside the window was too bright, making his eyes feel hot and painful.

“He’s not stupid, he’s willing to do it.”

"He did it willingly, so he didn't feel it was bitter."

He turned his head, met Nalan Jingwen's eyes, and repeated himself.

"He doesn't feel bitter."

Nalan Jing felt a subtle, bittersweet feeling welling up inside her. "Pei Yunche, some things are not worth it."

Humans are naturally inclined to seek advantage and avoid harm. No one would knowingly go into danger without hesitation; that would be foolish or stupid.

Pei Yunche is that stupid idiot.

Pei Yunche felt a sharp pain in his heart, and tears streamed down his face uncontrollably, yet he still stared at her.

"worth."

"You are worth it."

He never considered all that, much less weigh the pros and cons. He only knew that she was his lover. If loving someone required weighing the pros and cons, then it wasn't love, it was selfishness.

Pei Yunche couldn't do that.
