The oil lamp on the table was about to burn out, and the light in the room was dim, as if returning to the scene in a small mountain village.
In the dark environment, it is impossible to see the expression on Zhiyuan's face.
But it is still conceivable that she should have a blank expression and look calm at this moment.
only……
The feeling of the sharp edge piercing my back just now is still vivid in my mind. Was it an illusion?
Lin Jiangnian was puzzled, but he didn't think any more about it. He turned around and prepared to leave.
But just as he turned around and took two steps, the icy chill behind him hit him again.
Lin Jiangnian was so cold that he almost shivered.
The feeling is right!
It is indeed very cold.
And the source of this cold feeling is... the kite!
Lin Jiangnian stopped again, turned around, and frowned: "You..."
"Anything else?"
Still no response.
At this moment, the oil lamp in the room went out completely, and the room fell into darkness.
Lin Jiangnian's vision suddenly went dark. In the silent room, there was an indescribable chill.
"If there's nothing else, I'll really go back?"
Lin Jiangnian spoke.
As usual, no response.
Lin Jiangnian turned around again and took a step when, as expected, the coldness came over him again.
As the footsteps approached the door, the coldness became more intense.
It was as if a pair of real eyes were staring at him from behind. Even though Lin Jiangnian had a good mental state, he was still frightened.
I felt extremely uncomfortable all over.
Lin Jiangnian stopped again, turned around, and the cold gaze disappeared quietly.
Lin Jiangnian stood there, gradually realizing something...
He raised his eyes and could vaguely see the figure in the darkness still standing there, like a sculpture.
An incredible thought suddenly emerged in Lin Jiangnian's mind. Could it be...
She didn't want him to leave?
Lin Jiangnian felt the thought was a bit absurd at first, but then he became thoughtful. He glanced at the cold figure not far away, hesitated for a moment, and then walked up to her.
In the darkness, Lin Jiangnian stared at Zhiyuan's face quietly.
Zhiyuan lowered her eyes and didn't look at him.
But the closer he got, the more he could feel the biting coldness from her.
No concealment.
"This prince suddenly remembered..."
Lin Jiangnian stared at her and said tentatively, "The room isn't cleaned yet, and I have nowhere to go tonight. It's getting late, so how about... you take me in tonight?"
Very lame excuse.
It's even a bit full of loopholes and extremely funny.
Even if Xiao Zhu came, she could see through Lin Jiangnian's excuse at a glance.
How could the dignified Prince Lin have no place to sleep?
It's just an excuse.
Can't believe it!
Zhiyuan raised her eyes and landed them on Lin Jiangnian. She looked him over quietly for a moment before withdrawing her gaze and saying calmly, "No."
Rejected.
The tone was cold and calm.
The smile on Lin Jiangnian's face froze slightly and he frowned.
Could it be that he misunderstood?
Are you being too sentimental?
Just as Lin Jiangnian was thinking, Zhiyuan ignored him and turned behind the screen.
Soon, there was a rustling sound behind the screen.
Sounds familiar.
Lin Jiangnian looked up and could vaguely see the beautiful figure behind him through the screen.
On the bed not far away, Zhiyuan had already climbed onto the bed and lay down.
Beside the bed, there was a pair of pure white lace embroidered shoes left.
And on the bed...
A look of surprise gradually appeared on Lin Jiangnian's face.
She is...
You say no with your mouth, but your body is quite honest?
When we were in the small mountain village, we stayed at the home of an old couple. There was only one small bed, so we had to sleep together.
Now back in Xunyang City, the bed in front of him was large and soft. However, Zhiyuan was still leaning against the bed, leaving a large space outside the bed empty.
No matter how stupid Lin Jiangnian was, he realized something.
In the darkness, Lin Jiangnian's eyes became brighter.
After returning from the small mountain village, Zhiyuan spent most of her time sulking with him, so much so that Lin Jiangnian found it difficult to figure out what this woman was thinking.
But right now...
It seems that it is not that difficult to figure out?
Lin Jiangnian walked slowly behind the screen and came to the bed.
Zhiyuan was already lying on the bed, curled up in the quilt just like she did in the small mountain village, with her back facing Lin Jiangnian, only her thick black hair exposed, scattered casually.
Very familiar.
Very dazed!
Everything is exactly the same as it was in the small mountain village.
Is it really... like this?
After standing by the bed for a while, Lin Jiangnian skillfully took off his coat, got on the bed, lifted the quilt, and got in...
The movements are skillful and done in one go.
I crawled into bed and felt a familiar warmth enveloping my whole body.
Very warm, very fragrant, very soft!
The familiar faint fragrance on the bedding, the warmth like spring inside the bedding, everything feels so familiar.
The only difference is that the scene has changed.
But the people didn’t change.
Lin Jiangnian turned his head, and in the darkness, he could only see the back of a delicate head.
Lin Jiangnian felt somewhat regretful.
This bed is too big...
The bed in the small mountain village was very small, and their bodies were almost touching, so they could feel each other's heartbeat and breath.
But the bed was so big that there was some distance between the two of them.
Not very conducive to emotional communication and warmth!
Lin Jiangnian was thinking about having this bed thrown away tomorrow and replaced with a smaller one.
Lin Jiangnian was not very sleepy as his thoughts wandered. He stared at the girl's hair scattered on the pillow.
If they were in the small mountain village, it could be explained by the fact that the two of them were in trouble and had no choice but to squeeze into one bed.
So, what now?
What is the meaning of her actions tonight?
What is it implying?
It seems that the hint is already quite obvious?
Lin Jiangnian recalled what had happened during this period, thought about the changes in Zhiyuan, and gradually narrowed his eyes.
…
It's late at night and everyone is asleep.
Outside the window, there is occasionally a rustling sound of breeze hitting the branches.
The room was dark and silent.
On the bed, two figures covered under soft silk quilts, each with their own thoughts.
In the dark.
Wrapped in the quilt with only half of her face exposed, Zhiyuan slowly opened her eyes. There seemed to be a hint of confusion in her originally clear eyes. She stared blankly at the wall, not knowing what she was thinking.
She didn't turn around, but she could feel a familiar figure behind her.
Very close!
Even though the bed was large, it was still very close to her.
So close that it was hard for her to calm down.
Even though they had been sleeping in the same bed together for several days in the small mountain village, now...
Completely different situation.
She just stared blankly at the cold wall, neither sleepy nor confused, as if her mind had short-circuited.
I don't know how long it was before there was a sudden movement behind me.
Before Zhiyuan could react, a dark shadow approached her from behind in the darkness and put his arms around her.
Zhiyuan's delicate body trembled suddenly, and her clear eyes widened in vain, with a look of panic emerging.
What does he want to do?!
A hot breath came from her back, very close, pressing against her.
Zhiyuan's delicate body instinctively straightened up, and she subconsciously wanted to resist.
"Don't move!"
A warm voice came from his ears, and the hand that Zhiyuan had just stretched out was grabbed by an even hotter hand.
The big hand wrapped around her slender waist from behind and hugged her tightly.
At this moment, Zhiyuan's mind went blank.
Almost unconscious.
When I finally realized what was happening, I was overwhelmed with shame and anger.
“Let go, let go…”
The voice was very soft, with a hint of shame and trembling.
But it seemed like there was a bit more flirting and affection.
"If you move around again, I'll move around too!"
Lin Jiangnian's warm voice came to my ears again, with a bit of barbarity, a bit of domineering and unreasonableness.
Feeling the heat lingering around her ears, Zhiyuan's delicate body trembled slightly due to the stimulation, and feelings of shame and anger instantly surged in her heart.
She immediately wanted to shake off the prince who was "bullying" her, but for some reason, her body seemed to be very honest and did not move, allowing the "lecher" behind her to hug her at will.
His face was hot, his breathing was rapid, and his thoughts were confused.
In the darkness, she really didn't move.
Lin Jiangnian raised his head slightly, staring at the delicate profile vaguely visible in front of him, a hint of pride appearing on his face.
His judgment and guess turned out to be correct.
He quietly hugged the girl's soft body from behind, feeling her restless and trembling body and her pounding heartbeat.
Very urgent!
Lin Jiangnian could even feel the girl's rapid heartbeat in his palm, indicating that she was very emotionally unstable.
But she did not resist.
what does that mean?
it goes without saying.
Lin Jiangnian didn't push any further. He could sense that this was the limit of Zhiyuan. If he pushed any further, it would be counterproductive.
Lin Jiangnian was well aware of the principle that haste makes waste. Being able to ascertain Zhiyuan's thoughts and feelings was already the greatest achievement of the night.
As for what comes next…
Everything becomes much simpler.
…
early morning.
A ray of sunlight shone into the room, and Zhiyuan slowly opened his eyes on the bed.
As soon as I opened my eyes, I felt someone beside me. My body instinctively alerted me, but then I realized something and froze.
I looked up and saw a familiar face.
He is handsome and elegant, with his eyes slightly closed, sleeping soundly.
Staring at this face, the events of last night gradually emerged in his mind, and a complicated expression flashed across his eyes.
At this moment, she seemed to realize something, lowered her head, and a blush appeared on her fair face.
Her body stiffened slightly, and she stood there in a daze for a moment, then gently removed the big hand that was covering her.
Then, sit up.
Outside the window, it was already dawn.
Zhiyuan sat on the bed, hugging her legs and looking away. Lin Jiangnian was still sleeping soundly.
Zhiyuan stared blankly for a long time, and what happened last night came to his mind.
Her eyes gradually became confused.
It was not until a long time later that a blush appeared on her face, as if she was thinking of something, but it quickly disappeared.
She bit her lower lip lightly, looking at Lin Jiangnian who was still sleeping soundly with his eyes closed on the bed, and felt a little angry for no reason.
Inexplicable impulse!
Even she herself didn't know what was going on.
Gently pulling the quilt, Zhiyuan couldn't help but kick him twice. Seeing that Lin Jiangnian was still pretending to sleep, he took a deep breath and gradually calmed down.
Get up and prepare to get out of bed.
However, just as she got up and was about to step over Lin Jiangnian to get out of bed, Lin Jiangnian, who had been 'soundly asleep', suddenly opened his eyes and, caught off guard, reached out and pulled Zhiyuan in his arms, hugging her tightly.
"open……"
Suddenly attacked, Zhiyuan struggled and spoke in shame and anger.
Lin Jiangnian didn't listen. He turned over with Zhiyuan in his arms and pulled her back into the quilt. Looking at the delicate, blushing and flustered face in front of him, he couldn't help but want to lean over and kiss her.
However, Zhiyuan was already on guard. Realizing Lin Jiangnian was approaching, she immediately dodged in shame and anger: "Let me go!"
"Let this prince kiss you twice!"
"No, no!"
"One bite?"
“No way!”
"Just a kiss?"
"open!"
"I won't let go unless you kiss me!"
“…”
early morning.
On the bed, two figures were entangled in a stalemate.
Neither side gave in.
Lin Jiangnian looked at Zhiyuan's blushing face in his arms and wanted to kiss her.
The kite was alert and struggled desperately, not giving him the chance to take advantage of it.
Just when the two were in a stalemate.
There was a sudden knock on the door.
"Sister Kite?"
Lin Qingqing's voice rang out.
In the room, the two people on the bed were startled when they heard the sound outside the door.
Especially Zhiyuan, her delicate body trembled, and a look of panic appeared on her exquisite face.
"Qingqing?"
Lin Jiangnian looked down at the kite in his arms and asked in confusion, "Why did she come to see you so early in the morning?"
Zhiyuan was also confused at this time.
At this moment, Lin Qingqing's anxious voice came from outside the door: "Sister Zhiyuan, are you still not awake?"
The voice was urgent, like something important.
"Yes, something?"
Lin Qingqing, who was standing outside the door, heard Sister Zhiyuan's voice coming from inside the room. It was a little soft and trembling, as if something was wrong.
However, Lin Qingqing didn't care, but said anxiously: "Sister Zhiyuan, I just received an urgent report from outside the city, and I need to deal with it as soon as possible..."
She just went to His Highness's room, but learned that His Highness was not there, so she hurried to find Sister Zhiyuan.
Since His Highness is not here, the only person who can make decisions is Sister Zhiyuan.
"Wait a minute..."
The slightly trembling sound of the kite was heard again in the room.
Lin Qingqing didn't notice anything unusual and nodded: "Okay, then I'll wait for you!"
After saying that, Lin Qingqing walked to the side yard.
At the same time, in the room.
While Zhiyuan was distracted while replying to Lin Qingqing's question, Lin Jiangnian suddenly leaned in and quickly kissed Zhiyuan's delicate face. As Zhiyuan glared at him in shame and anger, he stood up contentedly.
"Okay, time to get up!"
"Qingqing must have something important to talk to you about!"
Zhiyuan didn't say anything, just looked at him expressionlessly.
His eyes looked a little unfriendly.
However, Lin Jiangnian didn't fall for her trick. He put on his clothes and returned to the bed. He reached out to pinch her cheek, but Zhiyuan dodged it quickly.
"Okay, don't be angry, I'm just kidding you!"
Lin Jiangnian came closer with a smile on his face: "How about this prince let me give you a kiss too?"
Zhiyuan said nothing, with a stern face.
"Then I'll go out and wait for you!"
Lin Jiangnian smiled, turned around and walked to the door. Just as he was about to open it, Zhiyuan, who had been unresponsive on the bed, finally realized something. He suddenly raised his eyes and said anxiously, "Wait..."
"Um?"
When Lin Jiangnian turned around, he also opened the door.
At the same time, Lin Qingqing, who was waiting for Sister Zhiyuan in the yard, turned around subconsciously when she heard the door open.
When she saw Lin Jiangnian appearing at the door of Sister Zhiyuan's room, she was stunned.
His eyes were dull.
After a while, his eyes gradually became shocked.
Your Highness, why are you in Sister Zhiyuan's room?
Could it be...
last night?
Your Highness stayed overnight in Sister Zhiyuan's room?!
Lin Qingqing realized something and her mind went completely blank.
This, already asleep?
…
