305: Chapter 305 Things We Can Do Together When We're Awake

Tang Ruan instinctively felt a gaze upon her.

She opened her eyes abruptly and saw Fen Tian looking down at her.

In the depths of his crimson eyes, fiery emotions were churning.

Before Tang Ruan could speak, Fen Tian had already grabbed her hands and raised them above her head.

He leaned down...

With one hand controlling her hands and the other gripping her chin, he kissed her.

His knees braced against the back of her legs; he didn't use force, but it prevented her from escaping.

Tang Ruan finally found a chance to catch a breath of fresh air.

"Fen Tian! What are you doing! I'm tired!"

Tang Ruan was a bit angry and spoke loudly on purpose.

Hearing her voice, Fen Tian did indeed stop.

But he didn't let her go.

His earlobes were flushed red, his jawline was clenched, and he seemed to be holding back a burst of anger.

Tang Ruan noticed his mood.

Is he—angry?

And it seemed to be the kind he had been holding in for a long time.

She recalled...

Could it be because she hadn't accompanied him for over a month?

She had promised him before...

But because of Hu Che, Heng Zhou, and Lang Lie, it kept getting delayed...

So...

Tang Ruan glanced downward, uh...

Fen Tian was indeed a high-needs Beast Husband.

But things could be discussed.

His sudden aggressiveness reminded her of how he was when he first became her First Beast Husband.

It was quite scary.

Tang Ruan was just about to say something to soothe him.

Fen Tian suddenly spoke.

"You'd better get it clear who your First Beast Husband is."

Tang Ruan's heart gave a sudden jolt, and her eyes widened abruptly.

This sentence was—

Tang Ruan opened her mouth, wanting to ask him why he suddenly said that.

This was clearly the dialogue that appeared in her dream.

However, Fen Tian didn't give her the chance.

What followed was just like in the dream.

He forcibly pulled her into the ocean of desire...

---

The next day.

Fen Tian, like a satisfied big cat, lay against Tang Ruan's neck.

Tang Ruan gently stroked his silky hair, "Fen Tian, are you awake?"

Fen Tian squirmed slightly, burying his head deeper, as if wanting to merge himself with her.

Tang Ruan knew he was pretending to sleep; he was afraid she would blame him for what happened yesterday.

And he also wanted to stay with her a little longer.

Tang Ruan deliberately scratched the back of his head and took the initiative to say: "I don't blame you for yesterday. I didn't consider your feelings, I'm sorry..."

Fen Tian's body jolted, he braced his hands on either side of her, and lifted his head.

His eyes wavered, he stared infatuatedly at Tang Ruan, and called out: "A-Wu..."

Tang Ruan was amused by his aggrieved expression.

For him to have such an expression while saying what he said yesterday was truly very jarring.

Tang Ruan couldn't help but ask: "Why did you say that to me yesterday?"

Fen Tian immediately pursed his lips nervously, looking to the side, as if thinking about how to answer.

Tang Ruan: "Is that your true thought?"

Fen Tian nodded.

Then immediately shook his head.

Tang Ruan: ...

"I—" He opened his mouth but didn't continue.

Tang Ruan thought: Could it be that even Fen Tian didn't know what he was thinking when he said that?

It was as if this world had been set with some kind of program.

At a specific time, specific people.

All had to follow a pre-set program, perform specific actions, and say specific words.

That was why he suddenly said things that didn't fit his "character setting."

So, does that mean... Hu Che would also inevitably be bullied by those Beast Husbands?

Seeing Tang Ruan's brows furrowing tighter and tighter, Fen Tian felt nervous.

He was afraid she would be angry with him, so he blurted out—

"It was Hu Che who said that to me!"

Tang Ruan: ...

"Hu Che?"

---

The two found Hu Che to confront him.

In front of Tang Ruan.

Hu Che stood with his hands on his hips, slightly raised his chin, and glared straight at Fen Tian.

"Is that what I said?"

Fen Tian nodded: "Mm!"

Hu Che: !!!

Hu Che was so angry his chest was heaving up and down.

After glaring at Fen Tian for a few more seconds, he suddenly turned and pounced on Tang Ruan.

Hugging her with an aggrieved look.

"Mistress! You have to believe me, I didn't say it like that!"

As he spoke, he rubbed his chin against the top of her head...

Desperately acting spoiled.

Tang Ruan: ...

Tang Ruan: I inexplicably feel like an impartial judge presiding over justice.

She gave a light cough and said: "Then tell me, what is going on?"

Hu Che jumped half a meter away, one hand on his hip, the other pointing at Fen Tian: "A while ago you asked me, 'The Mistress hasn't been accompanying you, is she sick of you? Is she?'"

Fen Tian nodded.

Hu Che continued: "I said, the Mistress's mind has been on the Cubs lately, which is why she's been spending less time with us! You said, the Mistress accompanies me but not you! Seeing that you were a bit angry, I jokingly said to you, 'Get it clear, you are her First Beast Husband! If the Mistress has grown sick of even you, what chance do we have?' Isn't that right!"

For the last three words, Hu Che stomped his foot, speaking with resounding force.

Fen Tian nodded, "Yes!"

Tang Ruan: ...

Neither of them lied.

But this sentence, when spoken by Fen Tian with anger and added embellishments...

The "flavor" was completely different.

In short, the dream still replayed.

Just in a way she hadn't expected.

Could the matter between those Beast Husbands and Hu Che also be different from what she thought?

Tang Ruan hadn't had time to tell Hu Che her thoughts yet.

That evening, she received some good news.

The ship from Central City to Dragon Valley arrived ahead of schedule.

Tang Ruan: "Why so fast!"

Hu Che: "The planned time was the slowest estimate. The journey was smooth sailing, so it was twice as fast."

"Those Beast Husbands are leaving tomorrow afternoon. Tomorrow, I'll take you to watch them leave with your own eyes. That way, you won't have to worry."

Tang Ruan nodded immediately, "Okay!"

At night, Tang Ruan slept very restlessly.

She was afraid the dream would suddenly replay on the night before these Beast Husbands left.

So, she had Hu Che hold her hand, and she lay on her side, gripping his hand tightly.

Fearing he would suddenly leave or disappear.

Late in the night, Hu Che suddenly let out a hiss.

Tang Ruan immediately woke up with a start and sat up.

"What's wrong?"

Her hands were still sandwiching Hu Che's hand.

Hu Che tried to pull his hand out from under hers.

"It's nothing..."

Tang Ruan remained unmoved.

Hu Che: ...

Hu Che's brow furrowed abruptly.

Tang Ruan then realized he seemed uncomfortable.

She hurriedly let go.

By the candlelight at the bedside, she saw the most fragile part of Hu Che's palm had been pressed by her large ring, leaving a deep indentation and even cutting a small wound.

A bead of blood was slowly seeping out.

"Ah!" Tang Ruan hurriedly channeled her Supernatural Ability to stop the bleeding for him.

The wound was small, and the bleeding stopped immediately.

Tang Ruan then discovered that one of the metal "little claws" used to secure the gemstone on her ring had bent upwards.

He had actually held onto this "little claw" while lying there for so long, unwilling to wake her up.

Only when he saw she was awake did he dare to pull his hand back.

And he had even been—refused.

"I'm sorry..." Tang Ruan whispered.

Hu Che didn't say, it's okay.

Instead, he pulled her close and planted a kiss on her forehead.

"I know you were worried about me."

Tang Ruan nodded.

Hu Che raised an eyebrow: "Is it because you were so worried about me that you couldn't sleep?"

Tang Ruan: "A little..."

Even if she had just fallen asleep for a while, as soon as she closed her eyes, it was all scenes from the dream.

Hu Che smiled with his eyes slightly narrowed: "Since we're awake, why don't we do something... something we can do together while awake?"
