Rebirth of the Duke's Daughter and the Little Imperial Uncle

Chapter 12 Visiting the Little Girl (1)

But why is the scene before me so different from what I just saw? The previous scene was like a depiction of my future life, but now it has become my familiar boudoir. Could this be the reality? Hmm… well, as long as Brother Yanxi is here with me, that's enough. Why worry about what kind of scene this is? However, is a specific background required to continue this dream? If so, perhaps I should act according to what has happened recently. And the most important thing recently is that I accidentally fell into the water. Come to think of it, it has been a long time since I saw Brother Yanxi. I must take this opportunity to look at him thoroughly in my dream.

While Qin Yaoyao was still in a daze, He Yanxi hadn't expected to meet her gaze, and a strong sense of regret welled up inside him. He silently pondered: Why did I have to touch her so impulsively? Why couldn't I have controlled myself a little? What am I going to do now? How am I going to handle this situation after I've snapped her out of her daze? She already disliked me a lot; wouldn't this just make her hate me even more? Thinking about all this, He Yanxi's mood grew heavier and heavier.

"Alright, let me explain first!" He Yanxi stared intently at Qin Yaoyao, a sense of urgency in his eyes. He had just opened his mouth, about to say something, but the words suddenly caught in his throat. The reason was that at this moment, he saw Qin Yaoyao's smile, as radiant and dazzling as a spring flower in full bloom. This smile seemed to possess a magical power, making it impossible for He Yanxi to look away. He stared wide-eyed as he watched Qin Yaoyao's smile expand at an astonishing speed. Then, like a joyful little bird, she quickly sat up from the bed and threw herself into He Yanxi's arms.

"You're finally here! Why haven't you come to see me all these days? I haven't seen you since I fell into the water! Do you know how much I've missed you?" Qin Yaoyao rushed towards He Yanxi like a cheerful little bird and hugged him tightly, as if she wanted to convey all her longing for him over the past few days.

The moment Qin Yaoyao threw herself into his arms, He Yanxi was completely stunned. His eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief. He had expected Qin Yaoyao to scold and resent him for what happened last time, and he was even prepared to be kicked out of the room. However, what happened before his eyes was completely beyond his expectations. Instead of the scolding he had imagined, he was met with such a warm and affectionate embrace. This sudden turn of events left He Yanxi somewhat at a loss.

His body instantly stiffened, his hands hovering nervously in mid-air, unsure how to respond to such enthusiasm. His heart was filled with contradictions and doubts: Could it be that Yao'er didn't actually dislike him as much as he had previously thought? This thought, once it appeared, spread rapidly through He Yanxi's mind like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, making him secretly delighted.

Under the sudden and overwhelming wave of happiness, He Yanxi's once clear and agile mind began to gradually sink into chaos and confusion. He desperately suppressed the surging excitement in his heart, trying his best to return to a state of calm and tranquility. However, the unique and charming warmth and sweet and rich fragrance emanating from Qin Yaoyao kept entering his nostrils, like an irresistible magic that deeply intoxicated him, making it difficult for him to extricate himself.

Just then, Qin Yaoyao's soft words pierced the night sky like lightning, and struck He Yanxi's dazed mind like a heavy hammer. He snapped back to reality as if from a dream, a bitter smile involuntarily appearing on his face. He muttered to himself, "He Yanxi, He Yanxi, what are you even dreaming about? How could she possibly be interested in you? Maybe right now, she's just mistaking you for the man she has in mind. What is there left for you to hope for?"

Reason, like a stern mentor, constantly reminded and warned him to immediately push the woman in his arms away. However, deep within his heart, another yearning voice cried out, urging him to hold tightly to the woman who had captured his heart. In this breathtaking tug-of-war between emotion and reason, after a painful and arduous struggle, reason ultimately prevailed.

He Yanxi sighed inwardly, a hint of helplessness in his eyes. He slowly raised his hand, trying to gently push Qin Yaoyao away. However, at that moment, Qin Yaoyao seemed to have keenly sensed his movement, her arms tightly wrapped around his back, showing no sign of loosening.

Her face was full of dissatisfaction and questioning. She pouted and said, "Why did you push me away? Do you hate me and don't want me to hug you? But you were the one who came into my dream first! In that case, you should have let me hug you obediently. There's no reason for you to refuse!"

He Yanxi gazed at the shameless girl before him, his heart softening slightly. He thought that breaking free from her embrace might require some force, but he worried that doing so would hurt her delicate body. Besides, the girl he held in his arms was the one he had longed for; how could he possibly bring himself to push her away?

Fine, let her continue to misunderstand. Anyway, she thinks it's just a dream, and it's fine if she sees herself as a substitute for someone else. As long as she can get closer to the person she loves, whether it's real or an illusion, it's happiness for He Yanxi.

So he abandoned the idea of ​​pushing Qin Yaoyao away, quietly feeling her warm embrace and enjoying this rare moment of tranquility. At this moment, identity and reality no longer mattered; only two hearts drawn closer to each other remained, immersed together in a beautiful dream.

Just then, the little girl in his arms stirred slightly, rubbing against him like a cute little kitten. Qin Yaoyao greedily inhaled the unique fragrance emanating from him, letting out a pleasant hum.

This greatly troubled He Yanxi. After all, being embraced so intimately by the woman he admired had already captivated him and made him lose control. This torment was now even more unbearable. However, He Yanxi could only silently endure it, daring not to make the slightest move.

Qin Yaoyao blinked her big, bright eyes and complained coquettishly, "Why don't you hug me? Do you hate me?" He Yanxi quickly replied, "No."

Hearing this answer, Qin Yaoyao did not give up and continued to ask, "Then why didn't you hold me tighter?" Faced with this question, He Yanxi had no choice but to raise his hands and carefully hug her tightly in his arms.

At this moment, Qin Yaoyao was overjoyed and thought to herself, "Brother Yanxi was so well-behaved and obedient in my dream today. I really hope he can stay that way... I wonder if he would be just as compliant if I asked him to do other things?" Thinking of this, Qin Yaoyao slowly broke free from He Yanxi's warm embrace.

He Yanxi suddenly felt an emptiness in his arms, and a strong sense of loss welled up in his heart. He silently lowered his head and silently warned himself: He Yanxi, He Yanxi, never be greedy.

At that moment, a gentle touch came over her; a pair of delicate little hands gently cupped her cheeks, forcing her to look into their eyes. Qin Yaoyao gazed at He Yanxi and, finding that he did not resist her actions, a surge of courage welled up within her. So, she boldly slid her fingers down his face, feeling the silky smooth skin.

Her fingertips first gently traced his broad, smooth forehead, then slowly slid down to his deep, captivating eyes, followed by the outline of his straight nose, finally resting on his slightly parted, thin lips. At that moment, Qin Yaoyao thought to herself, "What beautiful lips! Just looking at them makes me want to kiss them and taste their flavor. And today, Brother Yanxi is so well-behaved and docile; perhaps a kiss won't make him angry..."

The thought flashed through her mind, and Qin Yaoyao acted on it without hesitation. She slowly moved closer to He Yanxi's lips, parted her lips slightly, and carefully placed a kiss on his. In that moment, time seemed to freeze, and everything around them became blurred, only the intimate contact between the two of them was clearly visible.

He Yanxi stared blankly at the girl before him, his gaze slowly sliding down her fingertips, from her forehead to the tip of her nose, then to her lips, finally settling there. Just as he was puzzled by the girl's actions, she made another move.

He watched as that beautiful, captivating face drew closer and closer. While He Yanxi was still pondering the girl's intentions, he suddenly felt something seal his lips against hers. The touch was cool and soft, and before he could fully savor the sensation, it was gone. He Yanxi wondered if it was just his imagination and didn't dwell on it.

However, not long after, that strange feeling returned, lasting longer and becoming more distinct. He Yanxi raised his eyes with suspicion, and the moment his gaze met Qin Yaoyao's, he suddenly understood what the two were doing. His eyes widened, and he stared at the girl before him in disbelief.

Seeing that He Yanxi wasn't angry after their brief, fleeting kiss, Qin Yaoyao felt a surge of joy and gained more courage. So, she mustered her courage and kissed him again, this time deliberately prolonging the contact between their lips.

However, despite having lived through two lifetimes, this was the first time in her life that she had done something so intimate with someone else, so she was completely at a loss and could only stick close to the other person, not daring to move at all.

At this moment, He Yanxi's heart was churning with complex emotions. He pondered to himself: Could it be that Yao'er had only met He Mingwen once, yet she was already so infatuated with him? Even going so far as to take the initiative to get so close to him… Was this her first time, or had she had other experiences before? He Yanxi dared not think any further, fearing a heartbreaking answer. But when he saw the girl before him merely press her lips lightly against his, making no further move, he couldn't help but wonder if she was truly experiencing this for the first time and didn't know what to do next.

Just then, the girl keenly sensed that the boy's thoughts seemed to have drifted away, and mumbled indistinctly, "Concentrate!" She then lightly licked her upper lip, a hint of reproach in her voice. This sudden gesture made the boy's body stiffen instantly, as if a taut string had snapped. His mind went blank, leaving only the soft, moist touch of the girl. The girl was still basking in the joy of having brought the boy back to his senses, thinking how well-behaved Yanxi had been all day.

At this moment, Qin Yaoyao's heart was filled with joy, as if the whole world had become beautiful. Just as she was about to turn and leave, she suddenly felt a force pulling her tightly back. It turned out that He Yanxi had pulled her back into his arms and leaned down to kiss her again.

He Yanxi thought to himself, "Let me be willful this once, and listen to the truest voice in my heart." Qin Yaoyao was surprised to find that her usually shy and introverted brother Yanxi would kiss her so proactively. She couldn't help but think: Perhaps only in dreams would brother Yanxi show such a well-behaved and adorable side.

Originally, He Yanxi only wanted to savor this sweetness gently, but unexpectedly, he became so greedy. Every light touch made him unable to stop, craving more. Time passed by, and they finally had to stop due to lack of oxygen. At this moment, He Yanxi looked nervously at Qin Yaoyao, afraid that this cute little girl would be angry. However, to his surprise, Qin Yaoyao simply stared at him with wide eyes and asked softly, "Are you planning to suffocate me?"

Faced with Qin Yaoyao's questioning, He Yanxi's face instantly turned red. He looked at the girl in front of him in a flustered manner and hurriedly apologized sincerely: "I'm sorry, Yao'er, I was impulsive and offended you. I won't do it again!"

Qin Yaoyao was still shaken. She couldn't help but think that the dream was far too real; just a moment ago, she had genuinely thought she was about to suffocate. As she was still lost in her thoughts, she suddenly heard He Yanxi's apology, and she froze in shock.

"Not again?" Qin Yaoyao murmured to herself, "What does that mean? Could it be..." Thinking this, Qin Yaoyao's face involuntarily flushed red, and her heart began to race. However, despite her immense shyness, she still mustered her courage and asked, "When you say 'not again,' do you mean you'll never kiss me again?"
