It was already midnight, Xichen was still reading a book by the dim light of the candle. He then heard footsteps, and moments later Hansi's door opened

"A-cheng" Xichen called softly

Jiang Cheng's face looks very gloomy and tired

"A-cheng what's wrong?" Xichen asked worried

Jiang Cheng closed the door and ran into Xichen's lap "Xichen, I'm tired" he buried his head in Xichen's lap

Xichen stroked Jiang Cheng's head "what happened?" He asked

Jiang Cheng changed his position, he was now on his back facing "There is a wild sect with bad intentions towards Yunmeng, tomorrow morning I must return to Yunmeng to discuss strategy in case the sect suddenly intends to attack Yunmeng"

"You're leaving again tomorrow?"

Jiang Cheng sighed "yes" he answered heavily "I'm sorry"

Xichen smiled "why should you apologize?"

Jiang Cheng caressed Xichen's face, and saw that there were dark bags in his beautiful eyes "Your face is very tired, what are you thinking about?" He asked softly

Xichen shook his head "nothing. You take a bath, I will prepare dinner if you want"

Jiang Cheng shook his head "I've eaten, I'm going to take a bath and I just want to lay down and hug you" he sat down and kissed Xichen's lips quickly "I'm going to take a bath"

Xichen laughed and shook his head "Jiang Cheng your mouth is full of dust!" He protested

"But you like it, don't you?" Jiang Cheng answered while walking to the bathroom

Jiang Cheng took a bath for about fifteen minutes, when he finished, he saw that Xichen was already wearing light clothes and was making the bed. Jiang Cheng gulped when he saw Xichen from behind, he then ran and carried Xichen in bridal style

"A-cheng!" Xichen is shocked

Jiang Cheng put Xichen to sleep slowly. He then closed the mattress curtain and climbed on top of Xichen, the nightgown had a slit that showed Xichen's smooth, jade skin, Jiang Cheng's eyes lit up when he saw it. He then looked at Xichen's face which was starting to turn red "does it hurt?"

"Hah?" Xichen confused

"Does it hurt to fall from the sky" Jiang Cheng tried to seduce

"Hah?" Xichen frowned "Do I look like a dead bird to you?" Xichen asked innocently

Jiang Cheng laughed out loud "gosh Xichen, you are so innocent" he then started kissing Xichen's lips, the soft kiss became passionate, Xichen just closed his eyes. Jiang Cheng lowered his lips to Xichen's neck

"Ah...." a groan managed to escape Xichen's mouth

Jiang Cheng then started kissing Xichen's chest, and began to slowly untie Xichen's dress. He held both of Xichen's hands and one of his hands let go of Xichen's, and started to grab Xichen's hips

Xichen widened his eyes in shock, the terrible memory he had with Wenwu flashed through his head "don't!" He shouted, he pushed Jiang Cheng and sat down, his face turned pale, and sweat started to drip down his forehead

"Xichen! Are you all right?" Jiang Cheng asked worriedly, he then cupped Xichen's face in his hands "look at me" their faces now met each other, and Jiang Cheng saw that there were tears holding Xichen's eyes "it's all over"

Xichen turned his face away from Jiang Cheng "I'm sorry A-cheng, I can't be a good wife to you." He lowered his head

"No. No. No. You're perfect, so perfect"

"It keeps haunting me, even in my sleep"

Jiang Cheng then grabbed Xichen's hand "does it hurt?"

Xichen didn't dare look at Jiang Cheng "I don't want you to be disgusted by my story"

Jiang Cheng pulled Xichen's chin slowly "I want to hear it, come share your wound and pain with me"

Xichen smiled slightly and nodded "it hurts so much, it's like a dagger was stabbed into me, and the wound hasn't even healed properly, the dagger will hurt me again. Every day he would do that, during the four months with him my life was even worse than hell, he was never gentle with me, he would take his anger out on me, even if it wasn't my fault. Slaps, rough grips on the face, arms, tugs and drags, and rough bed dealings. I always wake up with blood all over my legs, he's tortured me once , and I almost died. I've seen my mother waiting for me in front of the tunnel, I'm glad I'm finally free, but I remember all of you, if I die, he will hurt you and Wangji, I don't want that to happen, you are the reason I stay in the hole That hell. When I see you, I feel my lost hope is back again, you are the light in my dark life. You and Wang ji" Xichen tried to smile at Jiang Cheng, but tears were falling from his eyes

Jiang Cheng couldn't stand it, he cried, he pulled Xichen into his arms "I'm sorry Xichen, I'm really a useless person. Without realizing it, my feelings for you hurt you" he tightened his hug on Xichen "I will always protect you, I promise. In this life, and the rest of our lives, I will always choose you, always" Jiang Cheng let go of his embrace, he then kissed Xichen's palm, and he also kissed Xichen's forehead "let's rest" he then lay down with Xichen, he hugged Xichen tightly like that older men will disappear from his life if he doesn't do that

"Jiang Cheng, I'm sorry"

"It's okay. I will find a solution" .

In the morning, Lan Zhan was playing his Guqin alone in Jingshi, suddenly Jiang Cheng came to him "Brother-in-law, what's wrong? Weiying is not here"

"I'm not looking for him, and it would be good if he wasn't here" Jiang Cheng then sat down facing Lan Zhan

"What is it?" Lan Zhan asked

"Hanguang-jun, teach me"

"Hah?" Lan Zhan is confused

"Teach me about the bed matter so Xichen doesn't feel pain"

Lan Zhan gaped, for the first time Jiang Cheng saw Lan Zhan's expression, not his expressionless cold face

"I'm serious" Jiang Cheng said flatly

Lan Zhan rubbed his head in frustration "make sure you remember, or even write down everything I'm about to tell you" Lan Zhan said firmly

"Hmm!" Jiang Cheng nodded vigorously, his eyes rounded like puppy eyes
