Star Iron: The Past and Present Life of the Gender-Swapped Dragon Lord

Chapter 279 Just coax me and it'll be fine.

"Hey? Don't... don't cry."

When Yingxing saw Danheng wiping away tears, he panicked.

No, why are you so emotionally vulnerable when you're drunk?

Does a weakened judgment lead to a decline in self-control?

"Waaah...you don't want me anymore...you don't want me anymore..."

But Danheng acted as if he hadn't heard, and just sat on the ground talking to himself.

"Don't cry, I was just kidding. Yingxing will be here soon."

"Liar! Then why hasn't he come yet?"

"Um... actually, I am Ying Xing. Take a good look."

"Waaaaah... He sold me to you? Waaaaah, he really doesn't want me anymore..."

Yingxing hurriedly tried to salvage the situation, but was interrupted by Danheng, who was crying.

Oh no, I couldn't see clearly to begin with, and now that she's crying, I can't recognize her at all.

Yingxing slapped herself. "It's all your fault! This little fool really thinks I don't want her anymore."

"He won't come... He won't come... Waaah..."

Sobbing, Danheng stared blankly at the doorway, trying to find the figure she had been waiting for.

But he didn't even glance at the person in front of him.

After a while, Danheng suddenly stopped crying, but her body trembled slightly, indicating that her heart was still not at peace.

"Hey... tell me, is it because I did something wrong?"

Danheng suddenly asked a question, which caught Yingxing, who was at a loss for what to do, off guard.

"How could that be? You're so cute and beautiful, and you don't have any unreasonable temper. You're such a virtuous girl."

Yingxing's answer made Danheng's eyes light up, but they immediately dimmed again.

"Why didn't Yingxing want me anymore...? Is it because I'm always clumsy, I can't cook anything right, I always bother him with everything, and I always make him worry about this and that..."

Danheng became more and more upset as she spoke: "I won't dress up beautifully like other girls, I won't cling to him and act cute all the time, and I'll always cause him trouble, and I can't give him a child..."

"Am I just too useless?"

"..."

"He must have thought I was stupid, silly, and not smart enough, so he didn't want me anymore... Do you think so too?"

"..."

Ying Xing fell silent; he hadn't expected Dan Heng to see him that way.

But he didn't mind at all. He liked Danheng as long as she was Danheng, even though, as Danheng herself said, she had as many flaws as stars in the sky, but Yingxing only knew one of them.

That means he loves her.

This is like the sun.

The moment the sun rises, the light of all the stars will disappear.

Suddenly, he saw Danheng stagger to his feet and walk outside silently.

"Why go?"

"Go get some fresh air, then find a place to sit down."

"Sit down, and then what?"

"Then wait for him."

"It's so cold outside in the evening..."

"It's not cold, I won't freeze to death. As long as I can wait, I'll keep waiting."

Ying Xing's heart skipped a beat again.

Stopping Danheng, Yingxing asked, "Don't you blame him? You've already given him everything unconditionally."

Dan Heng glanced at him and shook his head: "I... can't give him anything."

With a sob in her voice, Dan Heng collapsed to the ground, clutching her head, and said, "I'm sorry..."

Ying Xing silently stepped out the door, leaving Dan Heng alone in the corner, crying.

The evening breeze amplified the effects of the wine, making the intoxication even more pronounced.

Danheng didn't know how long she had been crying, but she stopped crying immediately because she heard a voice.

"What are you doing, silly boy? Let's go home."

Danheng looked up blankly and found the person she had been waiting for.

Her rosy cheeks were flushed with the effects of alcohol, and the sadness in her eyes instantly turned into joy.

Yingxing, who had just left the house, came back in less than a second and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Danheng squatting on the ground with her eyes shining.

I finally recognized him... I have to go out and refresh my status.

I just went out for a bit and came back.

“Yingxing…”

Danheng's tear-streaked face was gently wiped away by a pair of familiar large hands, and the familiar warmth and scent made Danheng feel at ease.

"You...you came to find me. I thought...I thought...you didn't want me anymore."

Ying Xing felt something tug at him. He looked down and saw a small hand pulling on his clothes.

The owner of the small hand was a girl who looked at him with misty, pleading eyes.

No matter how strong she appears on the outside, deep down she's still a little girl longing for care.

"Don't leave me... please..."

"How could that be? I like you the most, Hengbao."

"Waaah... But, but, someone said you... you don't want me anymore."

"It's fake. If that day ever comes, may I be struck by lightning."

Seeing Yingxing make such a vow, the girl squatting on the ground finally stopped crying and smiled, wiping away her tears haphazardly with the back of her hand.

"Silly girl, wipe yourself clean. You won't look good if you cry like a little cat."

Yingxing wiped Danheng's face and smiled at her.

Danheng just stared at him blankly, as if she wanted to say something...

But in the end, he could only stretch out his arms and squeeze out a sentence:

"Can...can you hug me?"

That's easy; Yingxing simply pulled Danhenglou into his arms.

The two bodies pressed tightly together, and the familiar warmth eased Danheng's tense heart.

"It's so warm... I want it to stay like this forever..."

"..."

"Let's go home."

"it is good."

Ying Xing carried Dan Heng on his back, and the latter, still drunk, lay on Ying Xing's back, dizzily talking about something.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yingxing decided to have a good talk with Danheng.

I always feel like my wife is carrying something on her mind, and I feel like she's been a bit...

Scared?

Especially the fear of leaving her... Why is that?

"Ying... Yingxing, don't leave me... I'm being a good girl..."

Danheng was still muttering something, but his words were full of pleading.

"Honey, if I tease you like this, you won't get angry and run away, will you?"

"..."

Yingxing asked a probing question, but Danheng seemed not to hear it and remained silent for two seconds.

I thought it was hopeless, but then Danheng's intermittent voice came through.

"I'm angry, but... but what if I run away and never come back?"

"What do you want? Just say it... I'm not saying I won't give it to you..."

"Girls, they all need to be... coaxed..."

Danheng's voice was intermittent, rising and falling, and Yingxing could also picture those small eyes that kept opening and closing.

"Just coax me... and I'll be fine. Coax me, and I won't be angry anymore... If I'm not angry, you can just make your request... and I'll let you do whatever you want..."

Yingxing listened to Danheng's solution as he walked.

Danheng rambled on and on, but when he reached his doorstep, a sentence he uttered unintentionally made Yingxing pause in his tracks.

"I don't want to... part ways, I love... Yingxing the most, I'm sorry... I'm sorry..."

Ying Xing trembled and stood at the door of his house for a long time.

The girl on his back had fallen into a deep sleep, her breathing rising and falling.

Ying Xing gently placed Dan Heng on the bed and kissed him on the forehead.

"Go to sleep, tomorrow will be better, goodnight."

Just as I had taken off my clothes and lay down, two hands reached up to touch me.

Turning her head, she saw Danheng, her face flushed and her eyes glazed over.

He still smelled strongly of alcohol, but there seemed to be something else about him.

"I want~"

"Aren't you going to sleep?"

"I want to get closer... I'll give it to you, I want to give you everything."
