I Am the Only Fertile Woman in the Game-Chapter 262: Half of the Soul

Sang Yan momentarily blanked, swallowed, and said, "Yes, there’s a lot I want to talk to you about, but... I’m afraid you might not be interested..."

He gently lowered his eyes, not voicing his true thoughts.

What he actually wanted to say was that he was afraid she might not be interested in him.

The words of someone uninterested naturally feel dull and boring.

Sang Yan feared seeing her yawn or become distracted while they were talking, which would be more heartbreaking than her directly telling him she didn’t like him.

Seeing his somewhat deflated expression, Qiao Suisui tiptoed and pinched his cheeks, pulling them apart with both hands.

"Did I say I wasn’t interested? Do you always like to simulate conversations with me in your mind?"

Sang Yan, despite being pinched, wasn’t angry; he even slightly leaned down to not tire her and let her play with his face.

He gazed at Qiao Suisui, seriously and a bit foolishly, saying, "I do often imagine what we would talk about when we’re together, what topics we would discuss, and how you would react. Besides, when I see something new, I think of you and wonder if you would like it."

"Suisui, although you already know this, there’s something I’ve never formally and personally said to you."

Qiao Suisui slowly released her hands, and looking at him, knowingly asked, "What is it?"

"I like you. From the first time you opened the door for me, I liked you."

His eyes were deep and bright, and his serious, earnest expression made Qiao Suisui’s cheeks unwittingly heat up.

She smiled slowly, saying, "I know, and there’s something I promised you that I haven’t yet done."

Sang Yan looked puzzled and asked, "What is it?"

Qiao Suisui stepped forward, grabbed his collar, and pulled him down to gently kiss his lips.

Sang Yan reflexively placed his hands on her shoulders and gently pushed her back, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Qiao Suisui blinked and said with a smile, "Last time, I agreed that I didn’t mind taking the initiative."

"I... I don’t remember that... I, Suisui, you, I..."

Seeing that Sang Yan was already at a loss for words, she laughed more heartily and then told him about previous events in the timeline. Mainly, she talked about her experiences with him in a previous timeline. After listening, Sang Yan didn’t speak for a long time.

"What’s wrong?" Qiao Suisui noticed his suddenly odd mood.

Sang Yan slowly turned his head, his dark eyes fixed on her, his expression full of desolation and regret.

His voice was slightly rough as he half-joked with a bitter smile, "Do I really have the courage to keep you by my side for ten years, yet not have the courage to tell you that I want to be with you..."

Qiao Suisui was startled and momentarily didn’t know how to comfort him, but then she saw him kneel on one knee the next second and take a small velvet box from his pocket.

Sang Yan opened the box, which contained a ring with a crystal-clear, pigeon blood-red stone, of very high purity and without a single impurity.

"I’ve carried this ring with me for a very long time, but I’ve never taken it out in front of you."

"Every member of the Dragon Clan has to undergo a ritual, which means every adult descendant has to endure eighty-eight days of natural selection. I was tied up on a cliff, enduring hunger, sun exposure, wind, attacks from wild beasts, and vultures trying to peck out my eyes, but I survived. This symbolizes that I’ve completely entrusted myself to the Beast God, sacrificing half of my spirit, and since then, I’ve been under the Beast God’s protection."

As he spoke, he took out the ring.

"And this ring," he began, "was pushed to my feet by the waves when I came down from the cliff on the eighty-eighth day. It is the most important symbol of my spirit."

"Suisui, can you accept this ring? Because it contains half of my soul, and I only want that half to stay by your side, owned by you."

Qiao Suisui was somewhat at a loss. Was Sang Yan stimulated to the point of skipping the intermediate steps and fast-forwarding?

Fortunately, Sang Yan always respected her wishes. He simply placed the velvet box gently in her palm and said, "You can think it over slowly. I can wait. You can test me in any way you want."

Hearing this, Qiao Suisui’s face broke into a smile, and her expressive eyes rolled around playfully. She leaned in close to his ear and whispered, "Then, it’s up to your performance."

Sang Yan couldn’t help but smile. The two chatted for a while longer when a servant came to remind them, "Lord Zongfang asks every five minutes when you will be finished, Queen. What should I tell him?"

"No need to reply. I’m going to find him now."

She stood up and arranged with Sang Yan to visit the Freedom Alliance in a few days, making Sang Yan’s heart race.

It was their first date. What should he do? He had absolutely no experience. Should he go back and ask Gai Meilun for advice?

As he was thinking, he stumbled slightly. The normally composed man had become somewhat clumsy due to his unfamiliarity with love.

Qiao Suisui chuckled, waved goodbye to Sang Yan, and walked towards her own chambers.

Passing by the garden, she noticed Lilia and Vanessa seemed to be having an argument. As Qiao Suisui approached, she heard the two girls saying, "I told you the Light Computer just won’t do. The place our brothers went to is so remote, and we hardly ever get a signal from Interstellar."

"What do we do then? Are we unable to speak to our brothers for ten days or even a month?" Lilia said, her eyes brimming with tears, while Vanessa listlessly kicked at the pebbles under her feet.

"It’s easy."

Both girls looked over in surprise and exclaimed, "Mom, do you have a solution?"

Qiao Suisui casually pulled out a device from the System.

The girls saw the thick lips with little wings and were stunned.

"Don’t mind its strange appearance; it’s very useful. Just record your message to it, and it will instantly move to the person and repeat your words exactly."

Vanessa’s eyes lit up, and she cleared her throat, eager to try it first!

She spoke to the flying red lips, "I want you to go to Tata right now and say: ’Hurry up and return the comic book you borrowed!’"

The red lips ’poofed’ and disappeared, with a first-person perspective of the red lips appearing in the air.

Tata was on the toilet playing a game on his Light Computer when ’bam’—a thick pair of lips almost touched his face.

He screamed "Ah!", dropping his Light Computer. He covered his eyes, then remembered his bare bottom and hurriedly covered it, before finally frantically covering his face again.

"Hurry up and return the comic book you borrowed!"

"Hurry up and return the comic book you borrowed!"

"Hurry up and return the comic book you borrowed!"

The mechanical voice kept repeating as Tata, realizing it was Vanessa’s doing, howled from the toilet—

"Fine, fine, fine! Annoying!"
