commonplace etiquette

Chapter 67

In that moment, Shi An's mind was blank.

In a haze, only the touch on his lips was clear and distinct.

The other person's lips were not soft, the surface of his lips was dry, but they were extremely hot, and the extremely aggressive breath pressed in, invading and possessing all of his senses in an instant.

Through a layer of gloves, the touch on his chin was rough and slightly painful, forcing him to lift his head forcefully and without refusal.

Immediately afterward, a hot, wet tongue licked Shi An's lower lip.

Like a spark falling into a dry wilderness, it dragged everything forcefully into the monstrous flames that scorched heaven and earth.

Shi An felt his brain stop spinning.

He couldn't fathom what was happening now.

Thoughts became sluggish and chaotic, like rusty gears being twisted together in a death grip, making an unbearable creaking sound.

Surprisingly, Mu Hang is just a taste of what's to come.

He gave a low chuckle against Shi An's lips and released him.

The man's eyelids drooped and his voice was low:

"It's amazing that fairy tales don't lie."

Mu Hang rubbed his fingertips over a little wet mark on the teenager's lower lip, "Princesses do get to kiss their way out of bed."

His voice grew softer and softer, to the point where it was almost inaudible.

Mu Hang lowered his eyes, his silver-white eyelashes twitched slightly twice and slowly closed.

The man's face became extremely pale due to the loss of blood, the body that had been forced to fight under the condition of not having recovered from serious injuries had already reached the limit of overdraft, and after he finally felt relieved, the spirit that had been holding on to it finally loosened up.

Shi An gazed in silence at Mu Hang, who had half of his body pressed against his own, his expression twisting slightly, "......"

If you can force a kiss, don't swoon if you can!!!!

And who are you calling a princess!

I'm a dragon. I'm a dragon!

You're the princess. Your whole family's a princess!

Wait it's not right.

I don't even like princesses. You humans planted me!

Shi An took several deep breaths before she could suppress her surging, unspeakable confusion.

He lowered his head and gazed at the man in front of him with some confusion.

There was a subtle odor of blood coming from his opponent's body, his breathing was light, and his normally strong and icy demeanor was now falling apart, revealing a weakness that was hard to see.

Shi An lifted her hand and touched her lips lightly.

The earlier one had happened in his semi-hazel state at the onset of his heat, and although Shi An knew it had happened, his memory was shattered and fractured, and even when he tried to recall it, it was only in vague and intermittent fragments.

But not this time.

This time it happened when he was fully awake, and the memory of those few short seconds just now was just too clear to be erased from his mind even if Shi An wanted to forget it.

Shi An frowned with a bewildered expression.

At that time, Mu Hang was supposed to have fallen under the illusion of black smoke and confused dream and reality.

But this time he's awake, right?

Shi An couldn't figure it out.

Did ...... he misunderstand?

After all, didn't Mu Hang himself say earlier that he was an "important friend"?

Although he had also been touched by Mu Hang, Mu Hang didn't know how dragons got along with each other, nor did he know that he was a dragon, so Shi An would definitely not think in the direction of □□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□.

So ......

Perhaps for humans, the act of kissing is not actually that remarkable, but some sort of very commonplace ritual?

Shi An took the opportunity to stroke Mu Hang's long silver hair a few times before this moved the unconscious man off his body, put on his jacket and walked out of the tent.

Soon the medical staff hurriedly poured into the tent, the dripping of medical instruments coming through the gaps in the tent.

Wen Yao walked out from inside the tent, she looked towards Shi An, her voice subconsciously softened, "You're awake now, but the medical tent is a simple environment after all, I'll send someone to take you to the hospital for a full body checkup later,"

Shi An nodded obediently.

Wen Yao couldn't help but reach out and rub the top of the teenager's soft hair, "Sir there's no need to worry here, we'll take care of him."

Shi An : "......?"

Why does that sound a little weird?

*

Hospital.

Shi An had just pushed open the door of the hospital room, only to hear a vaguely agitated voice ringing out from a short distance away:

"Shi An!"

The next moment, Shi An was hugged by a whirlwind Zhao She:

"Great! You're okay!!!"

The tall and sturdy student in front of him was covered with bandages, although he looked very wretched, but he was still very intimidating, but at this moment, his eyes were filled with tears, he looked particularly agitated, and he almost seemed to be at a loss for words: "Oh my god, oh my god, I was really worried to death, you didn't have any news for such a long time, and the Administration, that way! I really thought something had happened to you!"

Zhao She looked remorseful and gritted his teeth, "It's all my fault, I had agreed to bring the reinforcements with the fastest speed possible, but as a result--"

At that moment, I only heard Shi An in my arms say in a weak voice:

"...... You, too hard ......"

Only then did Zhao She wake up as if from a dream, hurriedly releasing Shi An and asking nervously, "How is it? Are you okay?"

Shi An takes a deep breath, "...... still, okay."

Just a little out of breath.

When he hadn't dragonized his body, his physique was, at best, an average human who was a little weaker than average, and really couldn't handle a full-force embrace from a strength faculty filled with passion.

Shi An caught her breath and looked up.

Only to see that at an unknown time, the ward was already filled with Strength Department trainees, and there were more people who heard the commotion and rushed in that direction, with a steady stream of tall, strong men pouring into the ward, it looked very spectacular.

All of them were injured in some way or another, with bandages on their bodies, in addition to the strength department from the Ability Academy, there were even other academies as well.

At this moment, they all had one thing in common, that is, they all had moist eyes and were excited.

Shi An: "......"

His eyelids fluttered, and suddenly he had a bad feeling.

"Fellow students Zhao She and Wei Bocheng have told us everything," one of them spoke slowly, with hot tears, "In order for them to leave to inform the others, and in order to save the others, you chose to take the initiative to break the back and draw enemy fire --"

Shi An: "......"

No, I let them go at the time, mainly because they were just too much of a hindrance for him to exert his full power.

"Especially when the enemy they were facing was so vicious ......"

Shi An: "......"

Actually, it's still me who's a little more vicious to them.

"- Such noble and unselfish deeds ...... such fearless courage as I have never seen before!"

That cadet finished a whole paragraph full of emotion.

Shi An: "......"

Nothing to say.

The others nodded in agreement.

"From now on, as long as you come to our side, come find me anytime!" One of the two-meter-tall cadets patted his chest and said boldly, "As long as it's something I can help with, feel free to say anything!"

Another burly man with a height of one meter nine and a full beard lifted his thick palm and patted Shi An's back, almost causing him to stagger, and said with a great deal of emotion:

"I'm ashamed to say that I was bragging to them before that I could hold down the players sent by the Ability Academy this time with a single finger if the quality of the players this time was so poor, but now it seems that I was the one who looked away, and went too far! I must apologize to you-"

"Yeah, yeah, me too." Another strength student said, "Sorry about that bro!"

"Yes, you are really strong!"

"Even though the organization of this exchange was interrupted, we still unanimously agree that you are definitely the winner this time!"

"Since we're winners, we must be treated like winners!"

"Right!"

Shi An felt that his ominous premonition was being fulfilled step by step.

He took an unmarked step back and stammered, "No ...... there's no need ......"

But, as if they hadn't heard him, the crowd came forward in unison to lift him up and throw him hard into the air.

"Shi An! Shi An! Shi An!"

Shi An: "......"

Help me.

In the end, it was Zhao She who came and stopped the overly enthusiastic expressions of the other power department trainees, "Everyone calm down and calm down, Shi An has just returned now and her body has not fully recovered, everyone go back to your wards first-"

Finally, the overly enthusiastic welcome came to an end.

Silence finally returned to the ward as well.

Zhao She was a little embarrassed and scratched his head, "I didn't expect them to be so excited ...... How is it? Are you alright? Did you touch any wounds?"

Shi An was only just getting over the dizziness she had just experienced.

He shook his head and said, "...... No."

Laugh it up, it didn't even hurt.

Even the only wound on his body was still a self-inflicted scratch.

Immediately afterward, Zhao She briefly told Shi An about his and Wei Bocheng's actions after Shi An had left, and he still clearly regretted that he hadn't brought help in time, looking very guilty.

"By the way, after we left, how was it on your end? How did you get out of it afterward?"

Shi An thought for a moment and said, "Presumably ...... found a place to hide and wait for rescue?"

Zhao She breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank goodness you were okay in the end, otherwise I really ......"

The young man in front of me narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled, his soft tresses were gilded with a layer of light gold, he looked pure and harmless, like an angel who had fallen to earth, his voice was soft and gentle, "Don't worry, I won't lie to people since I said that I can cope with it."

Zhao She looked at Shi An with emotion.

Gosh, kind and strong, what a great kid!

Winter days are short and nights are long in the Avon area.

As we chatted, it was getting dusk outside.

Zhao She sent Shi An outward, but before she could take a few steps, Shi An seemed to have thought of something, and somewhat hesitantly twisted her head toward Zhao She and asked, "By the way, this behavior of kissing is supposed to be a kind of etiquette, right, you people ......?"

Jo She froze, obviously not expecting Shi An to ask that question.

He thought about it for a moment and said, "Yeah, kissing is an important ritual in quite a few places."

Zhao She looked suspiciously at the teenager in front of her, "But why are you asking that?"

Shi An shook her head in a serious manner, "Nothing, just asking."

He mentally sighed in relief.

It's okay okay, as long as it's a courtesy.

He was the one who reacted too much before, so it looks like he'll have to return the favor the next time he sees Mu Hang.
