The Little Husband Who Became the Ghost-Faced King

112

The Night King looked at the distance between him and himself, and the way he was carefully looking at him. For some reason, he had an urge to tease him. So, under his nervous gaze, the Night King patted the empty seat beside him and said in a calm voice: Come sit next to me and explain it to me.

Xiji stared at the Night King's eyes. There was no emotion in those sharp eyes. He measured the Night King's angry look in his mind and judged that he should not be angry at this moment. After all, when he did such a rebellious thing yesterday, the Night King did not lose his temper.

Thinking of this, Xiji felt relieved. He sat next to the Night King and called softly: My lord.

The Night King looked at Xiji, who was cautious, well-behaved and obedient beside him, and a feeling of tenderness arose in his heart. This was an emotion he had not had for a long time. The last time he had this emotion was when he was young and raised a kitten from nowhere.

After judging the source of this emotion in his mind, he turned his gaze back to Xiji who was staring at him anxiously. He raised his hand and touched his face, and asked in a gentle tone: Yesterday you said you wanted to marry me.

Hearing the Night King's question, Xiji remembered the nonsense he said yesterday, and his face flushed, not knowing what to say. But seeing the Night King staring at him, he knew that since he asked, he must want an answer.

Knowing that he couldn't just brush it off, Xiji struggled for a while, then picked his fingers, gritted his teeth and spoke out his true feelings: I have longed for a life together. If I hadn't met you, maybe in a few years, I would have found someone I like and lived with you for the rest of my life. But now that I have met you, I want to walk with you well.

After Xiji said this, the Night King did not express his opinion and no emotion could be detected from him.

As the Night King remained silent, Xiji's heart sank little by little. After he woke up, he was surprised that he could say those words so boldly. After all, although he knew that he was different in the Night King's heart, the Night King might also like him. But in this era, according to the Night King's identity, no matter how many people were around him, it was normal.

He was not sure how long the Night King's love would last, nor was he sure if he would not accept other people because of that love. Xiji even thought that if someone else appeared by the Night King's side one day, he would definitely stay away from him. Then he would rent a small yard, make it the way he liked, sell some food that he was good at, and then wait until one day he met someone he liked and formed a normal family.

The more Xiji thought about it, the more discouraged he felt. Just when he felt that his future might be bleak, he suddenly heard a sneer from beside him. Xiji was a little confused at first, then turned his head to look at him. Looking at the smile on the Night King's lips, he felt more and more ridiculous. In this era, what he said about being together for life was simply a foolish dream.

Just when Xiji was wondering if the Night King was laughing at his arrogance, he suddenly felt the Night King move the hand on his face to his neck and stroke it gently, as if he was measuring his slender neck and whether he could break it with one hand.

Sensing the Night King's intention, Xiji swallowed, his small Adam's apple rolling up and down restlessly, and he dared not breathe, fearing that the Night King would strangle him to death because of his reckless remarks.

Just when Xiji thought that he would have to pay something as a price for his foolish words, he suddenly heard the Night King in front of him continue to speak, "I didn't expect you to have such an idea. You are so brave. Do you know what you mean by saying this?"
