EBE Chapter 157 Proposal
Chapter 157 Proposal
Just then, the tranquility of the outside world was suddenly broken by a gentle breeze.
The gentle breeze, like a nimble sprite, darted through the air, creating a soft rustling sound.
It playfully brushed past the window and gently lifted the soft curtains.
As the curtains fell gracefully like a dancer's skirt, a mysterious yet familiar figure suddenly appeared beside Song Wanning's bed.
The figure stood gracefully, like a fairy descending to earth; it was Ye Chuxue.
Ye Chuxue gazed quietly at Song Wanning on the bed, a feeling of indescribable tenderness welling up in her heart.
She saw that Song Wanning's once beautiful and charming face had become so haggard, as if she had lost her former radiance, which made her feel sorry for her.
Ye Chuxue carefully sat down on the edge of the bed, afraid of waking the sleeping person.
She gently extended her slender, fair hands, as softly as a breeze, and slowly stroked Song Wanning's cheek. The delicate touch conveyed boundless care and warmth.
Perhaps sensing the gentle touch, Song Wanning's tightly closed eyes trembled slightly, as if she were showing signs of waking up.
Finally, she slowly opened her eyes, her gaze still somewhat unfocused.
However, when she realized that the person in front of her was Ye Chuxue, she was first startled, and then her eyes instantly filled with joy.
"Xiaoxue, you...?" Song Wanning's weak voice was mixed with disbelief and undisguised joy.
Looking at Song Wanning's weak and frail appearance, Ye Chuxue sighed inwardly.
She knew all too well what her disappearance meant to Song Wanning during this time; Song Wanning must have endured immense pain and pressure while she was away.
As expected, just as Ye Chuxue had guessed, Song Wanning had fallen into deep worry and longing ever since she began to accept that mysterious inheritance.
During this long period, Song Wanning barely ate a single grain of rice and couldn't sleep at night.
Even though she already possessed the powerful strength of a God-King, the dual torment she suffered both mentally and physically still caused her to gradually wither away.
"It's me, Miss, I'm back." Ye Chuxue's voice was as soft as a whisper, yet it was full of deep affection.
Song Wanning's delicate body trembled slightly. Ignoring her extreme weakness, she used all her strength to sit up abruptly and hugged Ye Chuxue tightly, like a drowning person grasping at a straw.
She buried her head in Ye Chuxue's arms, her voice choked with sobs: "You're finally back. I thought... I thought I'd never see you again in this lifetime!"
Ye Chuxue gently patted Song Wanning's back, her movements tender and careful, as if afraid of hurting the woman in her arms who made her heart ache.
She gently comforted her, "How could that be, Miss? No matter what happens, I will never leave you for long, please believe me."
Song Wanning slowly raised her head, her beautiful eyes now red from crying, like two ripe cherries.
She gazed at Ye Chuxue's face and said with deep affection, "Every day without you has been torture for me. It feels like a piece of my heart has been ripped out, leaving me empty and miserable."
Ye Chuxue reached out and gently wiped away the remaining tears from Song Wanning's eyes with her slender fingers, her eyes filled with guilt and self-reproach: "I'm sorry, Miss."
"I encountered many unexpected troubles and dangers in the Thunder Mystic Realm, which trapped me and made it impossible for me to escape. That's why I've been delayed for so long and haven't been able to return to your side."
As she spoke, Ye Chuxue took out a pill that emitted a soft light from her storage ring.
This pill shone as brightly as the most dazzling star in the night sky, surrounded by a thin layer of spiritual mist.
Ye Chuxue handed it to Song Wanning and said softly, "This is a Spirit-Nourishing Pill that I obtained by chance in a mysterious Thunder Mystic Realm. This pill has a miraculous effect on nourishing the soul and restoring energy, and it will definitely be of great benefit to your current weak body."
Without hesitation, Song Wanning took the precious pill and swallowed it.
In an instant, a warm and powerful medicinal force spread rapidly throughout her body like a surging torrent, flowing through her limbs and bones.
Wherever that warm current passed, the exhausted meridians and muscles were nourished and repaired, and the originally listless spirit was refreshed and became radiant.
At this moment, the two embraced each other quietly, and time seemed to stand still.
The whole world seemed to have vanished, leaving only the two of them leaning against each other, their heartbeats intertwining to create a moving melody.
The wind outside the window seemed to soften, as if it couldn't bear to disturb this warm moment of reunion.
After a while, Ye Chuxue patted Song Wanning on the back and said softly, "Miss, this Spirit-Nourishing Pill only has a temporary effect. I'll go make you something to eat."
Song Wanning nodded and reluctantly let go of Ye Chuxue's hand.
Ye Chuxue got up and walked to the kitchen. After a while, a bowl of steaming beef soup and a few sesame seed cakes were brought out.
Song Wanning sipped the beef soup, savoring the familiar taste. She finished the bowl of beef soup without leaving a single drop, and then let out a satisfied burp.
Just as Ye Chuxue was about to take the plate away, Song Wanning stopped her, saying, "No need to go, just leave it by the bed."
Ye Chuxue had no choice but to place the plate on the bedside table. In the blink of an eye, she changed into pajamas and sat down on the edge of the bed.
At this moment, Song Wanning suddenly said, "Xiaoxue, look how big the moon is tonight!"
Ye Chuxue looked up and, sure enough, the moon in the sky was round and big.
Song Wanning came to Ye Chuxue's right: "Xiaoxue, let's play a game."
Ye Chuxue turned around, and Song Wanning extended her right ring finger: "Extend your left ring finger."
Ye Chuxue nodded, and Song Wanning took Ye Chuxue's fingers in hers, then gently flipped them over, thumbs to thumbs, forming a heart shape.
Ye Chuxue chuckled and asked, "Miss, where did you learn this?"
"You try! First, extend your ring finger."
Song Wanning did not answer Ye Chuxue's question, but instead asked her to repeat it.
Ye Chuxue readily extended her left ring finger, but this time Song Wanning did not do so as before.
Suddenly, her right hand slipped a ring-like object onto Ye Chuxue's ring finger. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a ring.
