It was already night time in the bamboo house. The entire bamboo house was brightly lit, making it stand out from the surrounding darkness. Looking around, the bright bamboo house stood alone in the mountain forest, like the only Ziyang flower in full bloom in winter.
It was gorgeous and radiant, like a huge guiding lamp standing in the forest.
In the bamboo forest at night, a cold wind was blowing wildly, rustling the leaves. The sound did not echo, but it was eerie and frightening. The mottled bamboo leaves were reflected on the walls of the bamboo house, swaying back and forth, but there was another kind of beautiful scenery to it. At this time, Ji Yunshu moved the four treasures of the study from the courtyard to the living room. Her painting was almost complete. On the white paper was Jing Rong's figure standing in the corridor. Although it was only the side of his face, his facial features were well-defined, handsome, and graceful.
His body seemed to exude an innate aura that people didn't dare to approach … But no matter how good the painting was, Ji Yunshu didn't seem satisfied. She continued to polish and color until she was satisfied. Looking at the person in the painting, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up. She smiled faintly, then looked up at Jing Rong.
Jing Rong was standing outside the door. After they had dinner, Jing Rong stood there like a statue, motionless. His eyes gazed into the distance, looking very melancholy. His mind was heavy. Because of this, his usually tightly knitted brows had a bit of melancholy. But it seemed like it didn't.
No one could tell what he was thinking. Or what he was looking at?
This kind of him seemed to be even more charming!
Sometimes when Ji Yunshu looked at him like this, she would be lost in thought …
After a while, she picked up the finished painting and gently fanned it up and down a few times. When the ink and paint dried, she rolled up the painting and walked towards Jing Rong.
The corners of her mouth still held a trace of a smile, like a shy girl who had just met her lover.
Jing Rong sensed that she was walking towards him. He didn't know why, but his body uncontrollably wanted to escape.
His face suddenly darkened, and he was about to step away …
But he was still a step slower than Ji Yunshu.
Ji Yunshu quickly blocked in front of him, her small body standing straight in front of him.
He couldn't move even half a step forward.
The only way was to retreat!
But the moment he had this thought, Ji Yunshu was the first to understand it. She immediately reached out and grabbed his clothes. She looked up at him in confusion. "Are you afraid of me?"
"Of course not!" He denied flatly.
He was not afraid of a woman! Ji Yunshu's slender, shapely brows arched upwards. Her red lips parted slightly as she continued to question, "Since you're not afraid, why do you always hide from me? From the Southern Fortress to here, you avoided me whenever you saw me, as if I was a hot potato. But now that we've put
I've told you everything. I've told you everything about your identity and our relationship in detail, but you still want to avoid me. Why? Does being in contact with me make you so uncomfortable? "
"No!" He still denied.
It wasn't that he felt uncomfortable, but … he didn't know how to face it.
The truth was too sudden for him, and it was such a shocking truth. Even if he was prepared, he couldn't digest it all in a short time.
His heart was in turmoil, unable to make up his mind.
Ji Yunshu asked again, "Am I ugly?"
Puff –
Jing Rong was momentarily speechless by her strange question. He lowered his gaze to look at her.
How was this woman ugly?
She was clearly as beautiful as a fairy!
She was like an untainted lotus, clean and beautiful beyond compare. He stared at Ji Yunshu's face in a trance. When he came back to his senses, he immediately turned his body away. A trace of panic flashed across his face. He instinctively avoided the topic of Ji Yunshu and retorted, "You let me stay here to protect you?
I also agreed to stay to protect you. What else do you want now? "
"I want you to take a look at me."
"If you really don't have any feelings for me, then carefully look at me. Look into my eyes to prove that I'm not in your heart. Otherwise, I'll believe that I'm in your heart." Ji Yunshu was like a stubborn child, the corners of her mouth curled into a devilish smile.
There was more or less a hint of provocation in her tone.
She knew that it was impossible to blindly force him to remember the past. It was better to use another method. Perhaps it would work!
Jing Rong tightened his grip on his sword after listening to her words.
In fact, he could just leave without caring about anything. But if he left, wouldn't he be admitting that he really had feelings for her?
Thinking of this, his feet were glued to the ground, unable to move. In order to prove that she was really not in his heart, he had no choice but to force his cold gaze to meet Ji Yunshu's.
Their gazes met.
Ji Yunshu's beautiful eyes shone like the twinkling stars in the night sky. They were sparkling and translucent, with distinct black and white colors. Anyone who looked into them would gradually sink in and be attracted by her deep gaze. No matter how cold, icy, and callous Jing Rong's eyes were, when they met such a pair of eyes, they couldn't help but gradually soften. It was as if ice had melted, turning into a ball of powerless cotton. All the coldness, all the ruthlessness.
Well, it was all broken down one by one.
Ji Yunshu deliberately blinked her eyes mischievously. When she saw the subtle changes in Jing Rong's eyes, she was certain …
In his heart, there was a place for her!
Thereupon —
She suddenly stood on her tiptoes and grabbed Jing Rong's clothes around his waist. She raised her head and kissed his cold lips.
There was no hesitation.
When their lips touched, it was like ice and fire gradually fusing together.
Jing Rong was completely dumbfounded. His eyes suddenly widened.
He didn't expect that Ji Yunshu would suddenly make such an unexpected move! At this moment, he suddenly remembered the time when he fell into the water at Ning 'an Villa. In his daze, Ji Yunshu suddenly kissed him. However, at that time, he wasn't fully conscious and could only feel the ice-cold water pouring into his body. Therefore, he didn't know how to react.
The kiss wasn't too deep. When he woke up, he had already forgotten about it. Only now did he suddenly remember it.
It was different from the previous kiss. This time, it felt more real and clearer. He could deeply feel Ji Yunshu's lips pressing against his own. A sweet fragrance flowed out from between her teeth and lingered at the tip of his nose.
Faintly, he unexpectedly became greedy! But when a gust of cold wind blew from the courtyard and brushed against his body, he abruptly came to his senses. He pushed Ji Yunshu away, and a trace of anger appeared in his eyes. It was as if he wanted to use this anger to cover up the ripples under his skin.
His heart.
"What are you doing!" He scolded in a low voice, but his eyes didn't look at Ji Yunshu.
Ji Yunshu pursed her lips. Her eyes were like flowers blooming in the spring breeze. She smiled like a little girl and proudly told him, "What do you think I'm doing? Of course I'm kissing you! "
"…"
He didn't know whether he should be angry or not. What should he do?
Ji Yunshu leaned forward and moved closer to him. She asked, "How is it? Do you remember?"
"No!" He threw out this sentence and prepared to leave.
But Ji Yunshu was like a piece of sticky candy. She grabbed his arm again and blocked his way. "Don't go yet. I have something to show you!"
Jing Rong looked away. "Not interested."
"Take a look."
"Let go!"
"No!"
"You …"
This kind of conversation was too familiar. In the past, Jing Rong also grabbed her like this. No matter what she said, he wouldn't let go.
"Your martial arts are so high. If you really want to leave, I won't be able to stop you even if I don't let go. It's obvious that you don't want to leave, nor are you willing to leave." Ji Yunshu looked as if she could see through him.
Jing Rong's eyes turned cold again. He swung his arm and strode away.
The moment he flung his arm away, Ji Yunshu was flung to the ground with a loud 'bang'.
The portrait in her hand also fell to the ground.
When he heard the loud thud, he stopped in his tracks and turned around to see Ji Yunshu lying on the ground. He took a few steps forward and squatted down. His face was full of worry as he asked, "Are you hurt?" "Yes, my hand is hurt." Ji Yunshu opened her palm for him to see. There were small scratches on her palm. Although it wasn't bleeding, the pain was excruciating. Her beautiful brows gently knitted as she looked at the man in front of her with a pitiful expression.
