639: Zi Ling'er comforts Chen Xuan

Seeing Chen Xuan so obediently listening to her, the smile on Purple Spirit Goddess's face grew wider, and the mischief in her eyes was almost overflowing.

She deliberately tilted her head slightly, revealing the lines of her slender neck, letting Chen Xuan wipe it, while humming an unknown tune, as if intentionally creating this subtle and somewhat teasing atmosphere.

When Chen Xuan finished wiping and straightened up slightly, she suddenly opened her eyes, staring intently at Chen Xuan, her voice carrying a hint of petulance and willfulness:

“Hmph, that’s it? My hair just got messed up by you. Go, bring me my jade comb and comb it properly.”

As she spoke, she casually pointed to the exquisite jade comb on the dressing table beside her. The comb was smooth and lustrous, reflecting a soft glow under the light of the Glass lamp.

Purple Spirit Goddess lay back down on the soft couch, turning to expose her waterfall-like purple hair to Chen Xuan, her strands falling smoothly over the edge of the couch.

She closed her eyes slightly, a faint smile playing on her lips, seemingly certain that Chen Xuan would not dare to disobey her command, eagerly anticipating how Chen Xuan would handle this increasingly “excessive” request.

“Sigh!” Chen Xuan sighed as he combed her hair.

“Why are you sighing for no reason? Honestly!” Purple Spirit Goddess frowned, complaining that Chen Xuan had disturbed her good mood.

Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan put down the comb, came to Purple Spirit Goddess's soft couch, and slowly sat down, a sad expression on his face.

“What’s wrong?” Seeing Chen Xuan's unusual expression, Purple Spirit Goddess quickly came to his side to ask, her original petulance and willfulness instantly dissipating quite a bit.

But Chen Xuan didn't speak; instead, he reached out and embraced Purple Spirit Goddess, holding her tightly, as if wanting to fuse her into his embrace.

Purple Spirit Goddess's eyes widened instantly, her delicate body trembled slightly, and a blush flashed across her face. She subconsciously wanted to break free, but Chen Xuan's arms seemed to possess a thousand catties of strength, holding her so firmly.

She felt both shy and annoyed, and just as she was about to lash out, she heard Chen Xuan whisper in her ear: “Zi'er, I’m afraid, afraid you’ll suddenly disappear, just like all the beautiful things I once had, fleeting in an instant.”

His voice was full of weariness and panic, that trembling tone, like an invisible hand, gently plucking at Purple Spirit Goddess’s heartstrings.

Purple Spirit Goddess’s movements froze, her original anger quietly dissipated, replaced by a touch of heartache.

She slowly raised her hand, hesitated for a moment, and finally gently placed it on Chen Xuan's back, saying softly:

“You silly fellow, what nonsense are you talking about? Since I’ve brought you here, I won’t easily let you leave. This is only your first day serving me.”

Chen Xuan loosened his embrace slightly, raised his head, and stared directly into Purple Spirit Goddess's eyes: “Only by your side do I find a moment of peace. I really don’t want to lose it.”

Purple Spirit Goddess was a little flustered by his fervent and affectionate gaze, she turned her head away and lightly spat:

“Look at your unpromising appearance, it’s not like I’m going to eat you, am I?” But her slightly reddened earlobes betrayed the ripples in her heart.

“What exactly is wrong with you? If there's something, just say it, don't keep it bottled up.”

“In the future, my future self and your future self will meet…”

“I know! I already knew!”

“So why do you have a future self? Because in the 'present', you died!” As Chen Xuan spoke, he also felt a pang in his heart.

Da Zi and Xiao Zi only exist together in this specific time period. If he were to go back, then Da Zi would definitely… die!

But he truly didn’t want her to take risks. Because her cause of death was still blocking a fatal blow for a man!

And now, looking at Da Zi’s behavior, although she is very arrogant, it is clear that her feelings for him are already… The man Rou Wu mentioned, is most likely him!

Listening to Chen Xuan's confession, Purple Spirit Goddess couldn't help but feel a ripple in her heart.

She raised her hand and gently stroked Chen Xuan's back, as if comforting a wounded child:

“Silly, I’m still here in the future, and I’m also very well protected by you. I suppose the future me won’t let you be lonely. Although I have some resentment towards you and my future, at this moment, I don’t want to see you so sad.”

Chen Xuan slowly raised his head, his eyes red, meeting Purple Spirit Goddess's gaze.

His eyes were filled with complex emotions: dependence, attachment, and an indescribable longing.

Purple Spirit Goddess was a little flustered by his gaze, wanting to avoid it, yet she felt as if she was drawn by an invisible force, unable to move her eyes.

“You…” Just as she was about to say something, her alluring red lips were sealed by Chen Xuan.

“I know, you like me.”

Purple Spirit Goddess's eyes widened, her mind a blank for a moment. Chen Xuan's actions were too sudden, leaving her completely at a loss.

But soon, she relaxed her tense body, slowly closed her eyes, and began to respond to Chen Xuan's emotions.

With this kiss, time itself seemed to stand still. An ambiguous yet profound atmosphere filled the bedchamber, and the light from the Glass lamp seemed to grow even softer, as if creating a romantic ambiance for the lovers.

After a long while, the two slowly separated. Purple Spirit Goddess's cheeks were flushed like crimson clouds. She was breathing slightly, her eyes filled with shyness and love.

Chen Xuan gently cupped her face, his forehead resting against hers:

“Zi'er, from the first moment I saw you, I knew you were special to me. Whether it's the future Xiao Zi or you now, you both occupy the most important place in my heart. I am truly afraid of losing you now, afraid that the predetermined trajectory of the future cannot be changed, afraid that you will be hurt because of me.”

Purple Spirit Goddess bit her lower lip, tears shimmering in her eyes, and softly said:

“Silly, aren’t I the same? Although I was initially full of resentment towards you, feeling that my future self would actually yield to you, as soon as I saw you, I found myself unknowingly attracted to you.

I don’t care what the future holds, or if I am being influenced by Chen Zier now. I only know that at this moment, I truly want to be with you. Even if it truly means facing death, as long as it is for you, I am willing.”

Chen Xuan held Purple Spirit Goddess tightly, as if wanting to merge her into his own body:

“No, I will never let anything happen to you. Since I know the future crisis, I will do everything I can to change it. I want you to always stay by my side, to see every landscape in the world, to experience every sunrise and sunset.”

These were Chen Xuan’s true feelings.

Because Purple Spirit Goddess was truly someone he couldn't take away.

Purple Spirit Goddess leaned in Chen Xuan's embrace, feeling his strong heartbeat, her heart filled with warmth and determination:

“Okay, then we’ll face it together. No matter how many difficulties and obstacles the future holds, as long as we go hand in hand, nothing can separate us.”

The next moment, Chen Xuan leaned down…
