Chapter 186: Chapter 186: It’s Hard Being a Man (2)

At that moment, Ye Ling’s eyes burned with a fiery passion as he pushed Ning Ruoxi onto the bed.

This little minx.

How dare she provoke our Brother Ling?

Ye Ling decided he was going to teach her a proper lesson today!

He would show her what it meant to be a man!

As Ye Ling made his move, Ning Ruoxi’s breathing grew more and more rapid.

The temperature in the room began to rise.

It was as if the air around them was filled with pink bubbles.

However, just as Ye Ling was no longer content with just her clothes and was about to disarm the little white rabbit before him—to have his way with her right then and there...

Ning Ruoxi suddenly pressed her palm against him, pushing him to the side.

"Huh?!"

Having been suddenly pushed away, Ye Ling froze in a half-leaning position, staring dumbfounded at Ning Ruoxi.

His little head was filled with big questions.

’You there?’

’Aren’t girls supposed to go limp and lose all their strength when they’re, you know, doing *that*?’

’Care to explain?’

’What’s the situation now?’

"My... my period’s here..."

Ning Ruoxi met Ye Ling’s gaze, then lowered her head and mumbled in a low voice.

At this moment, her pretty face was flushed, and her large, shimmering eyes looked as if they could spill over at any moment.

Ye Ling was speechless.

’Oh, come on, lady.’

’If you’re not going to see it through, don’t start it in the first place!’

’She’d already teased him until sparks were flying...’

’...and now she was telling him the water was shut off and there was no way to put out the fire?’

’Who even does that?’

"How about... I help you?"

Ning Ruoxi’s face was beet red as she looked at Ye Ling, a hint of apology in her eyes.

"Well..."

Before Ye Ling could even say a word, Ning Ruoxi slowly crawled toward him...

...

「A long time later.」

Ye Ling lay on the bed, silently staring at the ceiling. The sound of Ning Ruoxi showering drifted from the bathroom as he entered a state of post-nut clarity.

"This girl... she’s a total Little Demon."

Ye Ling couldn’t help but sigh, a trace of worry appearing in his eyes.

He felt that it was time to buy and eat more things like pig kidneys. Better to start replenishing his energy now and prevent any future issues.

Otherwise...

Sigh.

It’s so hard being a man!

Ning Ruoxi emerged from the bathroom after her shower, wearing a bathrobe that barely reached her thighs. A long, pale leg swung casually as she walked.

Having just showered, her fair skin now had a faint, rosy glow, giving her an alluring look.

Ye Ling glanced at her once before he couldn’t help but look away, letting out a long, heavy breath.

’Damn it!’

’This woman is absolutely lethal!’

’Sigh...’

’Is there really no hope for men?’

"Come blow-dry my hair."

Seeing the state he was in, Ning Ruoxi’s lips curved into a mischievous smile.

Evidently, she was very satisfied with his reaction.

"Oh."

Ye Ling nodded numbly, walked over, picked up the hair dryer, and slowly began to dry Ning Ruoxi’s hair.

Because Ning Ruoxi’s bathrobe wasn’t tied very tightly, it loosened a bit more when she sat down, revealing a faint gap.

With every gust of hot air from the dryer, that slight gap seemed to widen a little.

Ye Ling had honestly been focused on drying her hair, but suddenly, his eyes happened to glance over...

Mm.

Our Brother Ling could swear on Little Ye Ling.

He really had only glanced over unintentionally, without the slightest bit of forethought!

Since Ning Ruoxi hadn’t brought a change of underwear, she had washed it right after her shower. So, well... *cough cough*, you can imagine the rest!

At that moment,

Ye Ling felt it was time to report the pandas.

’Hello?’

’It’s clearly white, so why always use black and white to deceive people?’

’Do they not know that deceiving the sovereign is a capital offense?’

"Why’d you go quiet?"

Ning Ruoxi suddenly raised an eyebrow and asked as Ye Ling continued to dry her hair.

"Huh? Say what...?"

Ye Ling said, feeling a little guilty, his eyes unable to stop darting back to the collar of her bathrobe.

’I need to justify myself.’

’I really don’t want to look.’

’But...’

’Ah, forget it.’

’He’d just lay his cards on the table: he was a massive pervert!’

’But then again...’

’It was hard to imagine. Freed from their restraints, they could be so... magnificent?’

’He recalled the past; they hadn’t seemed this exaggerated back then, had they?’

’Could it be...’

’...that this little minx had gone through a second growth spurt?’

"Just focus on drying my hair."

Seeing Ye Ling go silent again, Ning Ruoxi huffed softly, completely oblivious to where that guy’s eyes were wandering.

After about ten minutes, the thrilling and nerve-wracking hair-drying session was over. Ye Ling finally let out a long sigh of relief. It was finally over.

’Huh?’

’Why do I suddenly feel a little disappointed?’

Ye Ling shook his head, casting those strange thoughts from his mind.

"Let’s go to sleep."

Ning Ruoxi yawned, looking genuinely sleepy, and slipped under the covers still wearing her bathrobe.

There was no other choice.

Her underwear wasn’t dry yet, and if she took off the bathrobe too, well then...

*Cough cough.*

It’s too embarrassing to say.

Ye Ling held Ning Ruoxi in his arms. From this angle, he could actually see a few things, but he still forced himself to close his eyes.

’After all...’

’...there was no water to put out the fire!’

’If sparks really started to fly, he’d be the one who had to suffer through it!’

The night passed without a word.

Ye Ling and Ning Ruoxi slept until past nine the next morning before waking up.

And here we must condemn one Miss Ning Xiaoxi. Due to her extremely unruly sleeping habits, her entire body was practically draped over Ye Ling.

And because of her tossing and turning, her bathrobe had come a little loose...

The moment Ye Ling opened his eyes, he saw something swaying before him, and it was a bit dazzling.

The next moment. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

He was suddenly wide awake. His eyes widened, and his gaze instantly locked on.

"AHHHH!!"

As fate would have it, Ning Ruoxi woke up at that exact moment. She met Ye Ling’s transfixed gaze, glanced down at herself, and immediately let out a piercing scream.

And the next moment.

Ye Ling felt an all-too-familiar foot plant itself on his stomach, and in an instant, he was kicked right off the bed and onto the floor.

’This is the third time!’

The thought surfaced in Ye Ling’s mind.

This was the third time Ning Ruoxi had kicked him out of bed!

He felt so pathetic. Dammit, a proud 21st-century man like him, getting kicked out of bed by his own wife, and three times at that!?

’This is so damn embarrassing!’

Ye Ling slowly pushed himself up, his face a mask of indignation.

"Pervert!"

However, before Ye Ling could say anything, Ning Ruoxi, huddled under the covers, snapped at him with a face full of shame and anger.

"My dear little ancestor, do you have any idea what you’re like when you sleep?"

Ye Ling was, once again, speechless.

’I’m the innocent one here, okay?’

’He felt so wronged he could just fly away!’

"I don’t care! You’re the pervert, and that’s final!"

Hearing this only made Ning Ruoxi more furious. She shot him a look that could kill, then commanded, "Turn around, now."
