When Ruan Xiao woke up again, it was already bright outside, with the faint sound of rain. The room was dimly lit, and the spot next to him was empty. Checking the time, he was surprised to find it was already past noon.
His whole body ached, and he saw stars when he opened his eyes. He lay in bed for a while before the discomfort eased a bit.
Struggling to get up, he was relieved to find himself clean and refreshed after being washed. He reached for neatly folded loungewear to put on, only to discover tiny marks all over his body, especially severe on his legs.
Ruan Xiao couldn’t help but blush. Originally concerned that Feng Zhan might not accept his weak and powerless legs, it seemed he had worried too much.
Clearing his throat awkwardly, Ruan Xiao tried not to dwell on the events of last night. He picked up his clothes and started dressing, realizing that a task as simple as getting dressed was much more challenging than usual at this moment.
Although paralyzed in the lower body, the sensory ability of the nerves in the waist and thighs is still intact. The intense pain caused by excessive exertion is vividly felt. The waist is practically powerless, making it extremely difficult even to put on underwear. After finally managing to dress, the back is covered in a layer of sweat-induced exhaustion.

“How do you feel? Is there any discomfort?”
Sometimes people are quite strange. Even though it’s just been a short night, the atmosphere between two people seems noticeably different after establishing such an intimate physical connection.
Ruan Xiao doesn’t avoid Feng Zhan’s intimate actions, but he clearly seems a bit uncomfortable, evident from his visibly tense expression.
“No.”
Ruan Xiao intends to maintain his usual calm and steady demeanor, trying to appear emotionless. However, for some reason, he feels warmth spreading on the touched area of his cheeks.
Although Ruan Xiao verbally denies any discomfort, Feng Zhan isn’t foolish enough to fully believe his words. The man in front of him has swollen eyes and lips, a weary face, and a trembling body when supporting himself with his arms. Such a state is clearly not indicative of “no discomfort.”
Rather than exposing him, Feng Zhan finds the man’s attempt to maintain composure and uphold his dignity incredibly cute. Unable to resist, he leans in again, giving a kiss and a gentle nuzzle.
In the past, Feng Zhan would intentionally or unintentionally draw near, but Ruan Xiao would always maintain a deliberate distance. However, now that everything that needed to be done has been done, and considering his current mental and physical state, Ruan Xiao doesn’t feel the need to dwell on such matters. Besides, he’s feeling a bit indifferent at the moment, so he just lets Feng Zhan be.
After a couple of affectionate kisses, Feng Zhan reluctantly lets go, covers Ruan Xiao with the blanket, and then asks, “Ah Xiao, I made some porridge and a few side dishes. Would you like to eat something?”
After a night of hard work and sleeping until midday, it’s safe to say he’s hungry. Ruan Xiao nods, and Feng Zhan quickly sets up a small table with the prepared meal.
Ruan Xiao is truly hungry, and he devours the dishes in front of him, especially relishing the well-cooked and flavorful mushroom and chicken porridge.
Watching Ruan Xiao having a good appetite, Feng Zhan is evidently happy. After tidying up the tableware, he carries Ruan Xiao to the bathroom for a simple wash, then brings him back to bed. Feng Zhan embraces Ruan Xiao from behind, resting his chin on his shoulder, and holds Ruan Xiao’s hand with the ring, affectionately kneading and examining it.
Ruan Xiao lazily nestles in Feng Zhan’s arms, calming his breath. Feng Zhan’s embrace is warm and solid, and leaning on him is quite comfortable. In no time, Ruan Xiao starts feeling drowsy again.
i still don’t trust this man 😠
I feel so uneasy about him. I don’t want tp trust him yet because it feels like there’s some sort of hidden motive behind his actions. I just wish the MC doesn’t get hurt too much in the future. He’s been through enough.
Are the raws you used the PG version? The original light novel by 雁一夏 has 198 chapters. Nothing against your translation (you do a fantastic job!!) but this fade to black skips all of chapters 26 through the first half of 32.
I think so. I translated from the chapters I bought on weixiang which only had 169 chapters and an incomplete extra. Then the novel got deleted along with the authors account. The site allows 18+ content but I think the author deleted those parts. If you’re in mainland china you can’t read or write 18+ chapters on the site. What site have you been reading on?
