Chapter 2805 - 2867: A Magic Called Love

The room suddenly quieted down, and Wu Shuwei, who was resting her head on his shoulder, was breathing evenly. Li Yifei thought she was sleepy, so he softly said, "Why don’t we go to bed, it’s getting late."

"No, I’m not sleepy. Actually, I lied. For a long time, I’ve been suffering from insomnia and often have nightmares all night long. During the day, I don’t let my mind wander, but when I fall asleep, those dreams come rushing in. I don’t know why. So during that time my mental state wasn’t good, and I signed up for this class, hoping a change of environment would improve my mood." Wu Shuwei said with her eyes closed.

Li Yifei’s heart sank as he listened, but before he could speak, Wu Shuwei continued, "But I didn’t expect to meet you here. Suddenly I stopped having insomnia, and I don’t have nightmares anymore. It’s as if those problems healed instantly. Not only can I sleep at night, but I also often feel sleepy during the day."

At this point, Wu Shuwei lifted her head, her eyes like water, gazing at Li Yifei with affection and asked, "Did you cast a spell on me?"

"Ah?" Li Yifei had waited for a long time, even prepared for Wu Shuwei to suddenly kiss him, and was ready to respond with his greatest passion. Yet what he received was such a question, leaving him wide-eyed and dumbfounded.

"Like some... magical spell, aren’t you a cultivator? Aren’t you skilled in many such magical spells? Did you cast a spell on me?" Wu Shuwei pursued rapidly, like firing a barrage of questions.

Li Yifei’s mouth moved twice, organizing his words before saying, "No, that’s impossible, there isn’t such a spell, and at most a cultivator might know some Formation Methods, nothing like those seen in movies or novels. Well, if we are talking about magic, there is one kind!"

"What is it? Does it really exist, tell me quickly." Wu Shuwei immediately asked.

Li Yifei grinned and said, "This spell is something many people know, in fact, everyone knows!"

"Impossible, I’ve never heard of it, I don’t know any magic." Wu Shuwei immediately shook her head.

Li Yifei emphasized, "You do, regardless of gender, everyone knows, and this magic is called love. It is the world’s most magical spell, the saying ’What is love in this world? It makes life and death worth promising,’ also proves the magic of love. Wouldn’t you say this spell is something everyone has? And it’s only this magic that can change a person’s temperament in a short time, making her unrecognizable to the average person."

Wu Shuwei’s expression turned strange; after a moment she snorted and said, "You’re just spouting nonsense, but maybe you’re correct. After all, my sleep has improved, which is a good thing, or else if this continued, I’d soon turn into an old lady."

No woman isn’t worried about aging, oh no, it’s not about that; what about love? You just managed to turn the topic onto love - why not continue? Li Yifei couldn’t help but sit up straight, looking at Wu Shuwei with a slightly stunned expression. Seeing her not responding, he had to say, "This must be the power of love; as someone who’s been there, I’ve experienced it."

"Pfft!" Wu Shuwei suddenly laughed out loud, accidentally spraying some saliva onto Li Yifei’s face. At this moment, she found Li Yifei very amusing; never had he been so interesting in all the time she’d known him. After laughing enough, Wu Shuwei shook her head and said, "Everything you say is right, isn’t it?"

Such lackluster response - how about rushing in for a hug, rushing in for a passionate kiss? Rushing in to say ’I love you’? Shouldn’t I take the initiative? Well, would taking the initiative be too impatient? After all, Wu Shuwei had experienced emotional trauma, Li Yifei still considered going step by step, and actually, being able to hold her with one arm, with the two of them staying up late, leaning on each other to chat calmly, is already quite nice. So after a brief thought, Li Yifei gave up the idea of sudden advancement.

It’s always important to respect the other person. Li Yifei thought.

"Before this topic, where were we?" Li Yifei asked.

Wu Shuwei reached out her hand, Li Yifei didn’t dodge, so his nose was pinched, not too hard, and then pinched a few times. It wasn’t painful or itchy, and Li Yifei asked, "Want to pinch anywhere else?"

"I... kind of do. Turns out pinching someone else’s nose feels like this." Wu Shuwei admitted.

"Huh? You’ve never pinched before?" Li Yifei asked.

"No, I didn’t before, but now I have. It’s quite interesting, so where else are you going to let me pinch?"

"Where else do you want to pinch?" Li Yifei asked and then simply said, "Forget it, pinch wherever you want tonight."

"It’s your say then, I’ll pinch your ears, oh, and your face, and... your lips!" Wu Shuwei said.

Li Yifei took on a willing martyr’s stance, closed his eyes firmly, and said, "Alright, indulge yourself."

Wu Shuwei was intrigued and reached out her hand, fingers slightly cool, pinching each facial feature of Li Yifei one by one until she stopped at his stubble. Having shaved in the morning, it had now grown into a dense stubble, and Wu Shuwei’s tender fingers rubbed against it, making a hissing sound like sandpaper. If the palm rubbed against it, it would feel itchy and interesting. Wu Shuwei seemed to have discovered a new toy and continually rubbed on the smooth... rough stubble.

Such a delightful little woman, she can play this game for so long as if she discovered a new world. But this is also the charm of her - Li Yifei endured throughout, finding it interesting too. Actually, the beauty was just close by, and their breaths could both reach each other’s faces, the scent of each other’s body was perceivable, and reaching out, he could embrace her.

Li Yifei didn’t extend a hand, but quietly watched Wu Shuwei searching for treasure on his rough face.

"Have you ever plucked your beard?" Wu Shuwei suddenly asked.

"I have, but by myself!"

"Who was it?"

"The first person was Ye Yunzhu!" Li Yifei replied.

Wu Shuwei thought for a moment and asked, "Ye Yunzhu, was she your first love?"

"Eh, how did you know?" Li Yifei said with slight surprise. Wu Shuwei pressed her lips together and said, "Never mind, was it her?"

"Yes, Yunzhu was my first love. It was because our early romance was discovered that I had to join the military!" Li Yifei explained.

Wu Shuwei nodded and said, "I see, no wonder you didn’t continue your studies and went into the military!"

"Haha, that’s right. I’m so smart, my studies were really good, but I had no choice but to go, Yunzhu’s family was desperate to kill me, I had to leave quickly to avoid trouble!" Li Yifei laughed.

"Kill you? Was it that serious? Didn’t you... do that to her?" Wu Shuwei asked with slight surprise, and seeing Li Yifei’s expression, she gave an "oh" and said, "Really did that? You were just kids, that’s too young."

"Not that young, we were fully developed. When a boy and a girl are together, sparks fly, especially during adolescence, that H is just a touch away, right?" Li Yifei said.

Wu Shuwei shook her head repeatedly, saying: "I’ve been through adolescence too, okay? How come I didn’t ignite? It’s your problem, oh, I’m not talking about her, talking about you. It must have been you forcing it, that’s why it happened!"

In truth, Wu Shuwei was more concerned about being alone with Li Yifei, like dry wood and a blazing fire. It seemed her current proximity to Li Yifei was very close, well, it wasn’t even close anymore, they were practically joined together.

Li Yifei coughed twice, saying: "Everyone’s different, development varies, both mentally and physically. We were just...a bit early, plus there was opportunity, so it happened! Li Yifei wouldn’t mention how it caused a scene, otherwise Wu Shuwei would definitely give him a huge side-eye, after all, that would be sleazy.

Wu Shuwei couldn’t help but say: "Just excuses, hiding behind excuses, a good girl ruined by you!"

"Ruined how, it was mutual consent, and honestly things are great now, our child is in kindergarten!"

"Already that big? Well, that’s not bad, you heartless man, joining the army to escape, Ye Yunzhu must have been deeply hurt."

"That’s true, but I had no choice then and had to leave. My parents also passed away during that period. If I had been home...at least I could have said goodbye, so I didn’t want to go." As Li Yifei spoke, his tone became somewhat somber.

Wu Shuwei realized she shouldn’t continue talking. She moved closer and said, "I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to say it like that."

"It’s not about you, some things are just missed, regrets, self-blame are useless because they already happened. That’s why I’ve become this way, trying to avoid doing anything I might regret later. Whether it’s people or things, if I can do it, I’ll try to do it to avoid looking back with regret and self-blame," Li Yifei said.

Wu Shuwei nodded. She understood both what Li Yifei was saying and that it was meant for her, so she fell silent.

Hugging Wu Shuwei’s shoulder, Li Yifei said: "If you’re sleepy, why not take a nap?"

"No, still have some energy, but let’s stop chatting, I’ll keep watching for a while!" Wu Shuwei decided to change the topic.

Li Yifei nodded, not insisting, and said, "Alright, let’s watch together. Sometimes, private messages can really reveal a person’s true nature, it’s quite enlightening."

"This enlightenment...what’s so enlightening!" Despite her words, Wu Shuwei started reading, actually it was the same routine, many were praising Li Yifei, sincerely, with fake admiration, some comments made one smile, others left one shaking their head speechless, Wu Shuwei checked less than a hundred messages and already found seven people asking Li Yifei for money or loans. A few minutes later, Wu Shuwei suddenly exclaimed softly.
