NOVEL NEXT 48. Xiaoyu’s Dream
In the simple and elegant bedroom, the light-colored bed was partially hidden. Xiaoyu, feeling dizzy, had just finished drinking the calming tea and was about to doze off. In the midst of her half-open, half-closed black eyes, a handsome man and a beautiful woman slowly appeared in her blurred vision.
"Mom!" A weak and sickly child needed the love and affection of loved ones the most. Xiaoyu immediately recognized Qin Keqing's figure with ease, but the other familiar face left her perplexed for a moment. Amidst the countless thoughts swirling in her young mind, the portrait of her father, Liang Tianfeng, hanging in Mom's bedroom suddenly emerged before Xiaoyu's eyes!
Right, wasn't this the face of her father, Liang Tianfeng?! Although Xiaoyu had no actual memories of being with her father, she had spent her days facing that portrait. The image of her father had been deeply engraved in the heart of the child yearning for paternal love, accompanying her through two seasons!
"Daddy, Daddy..." Xiaoyu excitedly waved her little hand with all her might, as if trying to reach out to her father across space. Overwhelmed with emotions, tears of longing filled her eyes, dampening the pillowcase!
"Xiaoyu..." Seeing her daughter suddenly calling out in sorrow, Qin Keqing's light figure swiftly rushed to her bedside, carrying infinite maternal love and affection. She held her daughter's flailing hand and reassured her, "Don't be afraid, Mom is here!"
As the beautiful young woman grasped her daughter's hand, she heard her call out "Daddy" again loudly. Worried and anxious, she thought Xiaoyu was missing her deceased father. In a hurry to suppress her grief and resentment, she also grabbed Xiaoyu's other hand and said, "Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu... don't be afraid. With Mom here, you don't need to fear anything!"
To Qin Keqing's surprise, Xiaoyu didn't immediately calm down. Instead, she exerted more force to free her little hands, widening her hazy eyes and waving towards the space behind Qin Keqing, crying out once more, "Daddy, Daddy, hug Xiaoyu. Xiaoyu is being good!"
Could it be that my husband's spirit has appeared?! Startled in her heart, the peerless beauty, devout to Guanyin Bodhisattva, subconsciously followed the direction pointed by her daughter Xiaoyu's small hand and looked back. The moment her eyes met with three parts excitement, three parts anticipation, and four parts illusion, they all turned into a melancholy and helpless smile. There was no trace of her husband's figure, only the astonished and puzzled silhouette of Tianlong!
Tianlong, who came in together with Keqing sister-in-law, was also caught off guard by Xiaoyu's repeated calls of "Daddy." As he scanned the surroundings with his spiritual senses, there was not a single trace of a stranger, let alone any ghosts or demons. Who could be the one that the little girl so eagerly called for?!
"Daddy, why aren't you coming over?! Mmm... don't you like Xiaoyu?" The little girl's choking sobs were like sharp arrows piercing into Tianlong and Qin Keqing's hearts. In unison, they were taken aback and shivered. Amidst the turbulent confusion, they simultaneously realized a truth—when Xiaoyu called "Daddy," it wasn't a ghost, but her uncle, Tianlong, the young nephew of the beautiful young woman!
Hmm! Qin Keqing's heart was instantly filled with embarrassment and sorrow. Her daughter referred to Tianlong as "Daddy," so did that mean he became her husband?! At this thought, the peerless beauty felt even more flustered. Seizing the opportunity to console her son, she repeatedly covered up her chaotic and inexplicable joy, "Xiaoyu, that's Uncle Tianlong, don't say nonsense!"
"Wah!" The low sobbing suddenly turned into loud wailing. Xiaoyu, with her small body, rolled frantically on the bed, inconsolably sad and unwilling, "It's Daddy, that's Daddy! Daddy doesn't want Xiaoyu anymore! Daddy, don't leave Xiaoyu..."
Faced with this situation, Qin Keqing and Tianlong, amidst a mix of emotions, couldn't bring themselves to be angry at Xiaoyu's "disobedience." Their hearts were filled with sadness and compassion. A father's love was undoubtedly the sole pursuit of a child without a father.
Feeling a pang in his heart, Tianlong instantly lost his clear-mindedness. Without hesitation, he strode to Xiaoyu's bedside and, on behalf of Qin Keqing, firmly held the little girl's restless hands in his palms. His words were low and brimming with profound affection, "Xiaoyu, be good, stop crying. Listen to me and go to sleep, everything will be alright!"
The crying abruptly stopped, and the miraculous change left Qin Keqing with a myriad of emotions stirring in her heart. Her anxious yet comforting gaze was quietly blurred by tears of excitement. In that hazy moment, it felt as if her husband, Liang Tianfeng, had truly returned to her side, playfully teasing and fooling around with their daughter.
Under the gentle and powerful touch of the "Daddy" hands, Xiaoyu's still-wet little face lit up with boundless contentment. She joyfully said, "Daddy, please don't go, okay? Mom said you went to a very faraway place. Xiaoyu wants you to stay with Xiaoyu and Mom!"
"As long as Xiaoyu is a good girl and goes to sleep, Daddy won't leave!" Immersed in the warm and blissful family atmosphere, Tianlong completely embraced his role. His loving hand gently caressed his "daughter's" forehead, small face, and slightly disheveled hair.
"Okay! Xiaoyu will be a good girl!" The satisfied little girl tightly held her father's large hand, a joyful smile appearing on her tear-streaked face. After a moment, she drifted into a sweet dream.
With a passing moment, a subtle atmosphere enveloped the space where the "family" of three resided. Other than the contented and steady breathing of little Xiaoyu, Tianlong and Qin Keqing, as the "parents," were lost in a tumultuous sea of emotions. Amidst shyness, confusion, fear, and the hesitant joy and anticipation they couldn't face, the two remained still, so still that ripples of emotion spread, their bodies and hearts warming up, and reality fading into a beautiful dreamland.
In this tranquil moment, Qin Keqing looked at her daughter's rarely serene and satisfied sleeping expression, and myriad emotions surged within her. The "husband" she had longed for, even now, still held their daughter's hand tightly. In that grip, he wasn't just holding the affection between father and daughter; he also tightly held her, the "mother's," heart. It was as if he held the key to unlock the heart of a peerless beauty, trembling and drifting her heart and soul, leaving her unable to resist and at a loss.
In a daze, her husband, Liang Tianfeng, let go of their daughter's hand and slowly approached her. His tall figure became increasingly taller and ethereal. As the two were almost within arm's reach, the flustered Qin Keqing faced the long-lost intimate affection. Her heart roared like raging waves, intending to cry out in surprise, but she found herself unable to speak or move!
"Ah! How could this be?!" The even more miraculous change left her in awe. She saw the illusion of her husband, Liang Tianfeng, suddenly undergo a drastic transformation, turning into a heart-shaped "heart of love" radiating countless rays of rosy light, charging towards her body.
A silent scream filled Qin Keqing with panic. She saw this wondrous heart of love pierce through the void and pass through her clothes as if it entered an unpopulated realm. It directly penetrated her desolate heart and eventually turned into a nurturing rain, refreshing her heart and soul, completely merging with her spirit and desires, no longer distinct from each other!
Her voluptuous body shook abruptly, and Qin Keqing, with her heart pounding, regained her senses and took a look. Where was the "heart of love" suddenly appearing?! Tianlong was still sitting right beside the bed, wasn't he? Oh my goodness! Was she seeing a ghost or had she been bewitched? How could such an absurd imagination appear?!
The reluctant woman subconsciously rejected the truth, rejecting the terrifying notion that her dignified and proper self shouldn't entertain. She couldn't indulge in these wild thoughts anymore; it would only make it harder for her to endure these difficult days!
With this thought in mind, the woman was about to get up and let go of her daughter's hand. Unfortunately, before she could break the delicate atmosphere between the "family" of three, Xiaoyu's restless hand completely shattered her resolute intent. "Mom, Dad, don't go!"
Tianlong and Qin Keqing held one of the little girl's hands each. Tianlong's hand that held Xiaoyu's was still in place, and Xiaoyu's keen senses clearly felt her mother was about to let go.
The clear light of awareness was once again replaced by flames. The pained beauty hastily grabbed her daughter's hand again, and in her urgency, she leaned forward to sit side by side with Tianlong. The "husband and wife" softly cooed, trying to soothe their beloved daughter, whose sleeping expression had suddenly changed.
In the hazy fog, the self-designated titles of "father" and "mother" from Tianlong and Qin Keqing only added to the confusion. By the time Xiaoyu's face once again showed a peaceful expression, this "uncle and sister-in-law couple" were already sweating on their foreheads. It turned out that comforting their daughter was so tiring!
The scorching light seemed as if it had a physical form, emanating from Tianlong's eyes and accurately entering Qin Keqing's heart under the allure of a dreamy halo. The heart-fluttering beauty couldn't help but raise her head to see the figure of her "husband," Liang Tianfeng, approaching her again.
Hmm! Why did this embarrassing illusion come again?! In an instant, Qin Keqing's emotions surged, and her instinctive reaction was to move away, but upon reflection, it was just an illusion. It had been two years since she and her husband Liang Tianfeng had parted ways in life and death. What harm was there in feeling a bit of husband and wife intimacy at this moment? It was much better than crying in her dreams at midnight!
Closer, even closer! The two hearts drawn together by an irresistible force slowly approached each other. The distance between their souls diminished with each passing moment, until they were inseparable. They couldn't even recall when they had let go of little Yu's hand. As for the well-behaved Xiaoyu, she seemed oblivious to whether this was a moment of intimacy between her "parents" or not. She cooperated wholeheartedly, happily frolicking in her sweet dreams, laughing within the warmth of parental love.
In this dreamlike atmosphere, the moment of perfection arrived. The tender lips of the younger brother-in-law gently brushed against the vermilion lips of his sister-in-law, just a gentle touch - like a dragonfly skimming the water's surface.
"Boom!" The spark of the fuse was always so gentle, but the ignited explosion was earth-shattering! After a momentary pause, a passionate "moan" filled the air. The upright figure pulled the curvaceous beauty into his embrace, and with a scorching deep kiss, he carried an irresistible wave of passion that pried open the modest lips of the elegant and beautiful young woman!
"Um! How could this be?!" Completely unexpected, the illusion didn't vanish into thin air this time. Instead, it tenderly kissed her. Following that, a powerful force enclosed her rosy lips, and amid the surge of a refreshing aura, an overwhelming tide of emotions engulfed her in that fleeting moment. In a moment of shock, the deep and affectionate crimson tongue completely captured her smooth and tender lips!
Huh?! Why does this feel so real?! A tingling sensation penetrated deep into her heart, awakening long-lost feelings. The stunning beauty's mind was entangled with confusion and boundless pleasure. Subconsciously, she exchanged profound yearning and deep affection with her husband, Lian Tianfeng, while trying hard to recall that almost fading sweet taste!
Thousands of heavy hammers pounded into Qin Keqing's mind, as her younger brother-in-law Tianlong's incredibly powerful red tongue swept through. The stunning and enchanting Qin Keqing became increasingly perplexed, intoxicated by the overwhelming pleasure. The volcano that had been building up for over a decade began to rumble and tremble, and the surging lava was about to erupt completely!
"Ah!" Though there was still some clarity in Tianlong's mind, he silently roared. He knew that he was deeply kissing his widowed sister-in-law, Qin Keqing, the dignified and virtuous beauty. Despite having harbored inappropriate thoughts about her for a long time, he had always respected her steadfastness and refrained from making any advances. However, he could not have imagined that fate would so quickly fulfill his innermost desires. Who could deny that Tianlong was truly favored by the heavens?!
Her moist lips had already surrendered, and the intoxicating fragrance surged out as Tianlong greedily sucked on them. The powerful suction penetrated deep into the depths of Qin Keqing's soul, and the suppressed volcano of yearning and sorrow erupted with a hint of fierce flames!
