'Are you going to leave me behind?'
Chapter 253: You'll leave without me?
Coming down from the attic, Ji Yunshu glanced at Wei Yi, who was in the crowd. Seeing that he was getting along well with the children, she felt relieved and left.
However, Jing Rong caught up to her just as she was about to leave.
Ji Yunshu didn't stop and kept walking. Jing Rong didn't make a fuss and kept following her.
They arrived at Bamboo Creek Garden.
Naturally, Ji Yunshu immersed herself in her work. She put on her gloves and studied the skull.
Jing Rong was very carefree. He brought a pear blossom chair to the courtyard and sat there, basking in the sun.
In his hand, there was a plate of fresh melon seeds.
He started to eat them.
That scene blinded Ji Yunshu's 24k golden eyes.
She fiddled with the work in her hands and occasionally squinted her eyes outside.
'That brat is basking in the sun and eating melon seeds. How comfortable!
Why do I have to work myself to death?
I won't do it!
I won't do it no matter what! '
But after thinking about it, she gave up on the idea.
'We have to be professional. We can't just wash our hands and do what we say.'
Thus, she could only grit her teeth and continue to work.
The sky gradually darkened, and a rustling sound could be heard from outside. Ji Yunshu twisted her neck and looked outside. Her heart was filled with confusion.
She didn't know when, but there were several red lanterns outside.
They were very bright!
Since she was almost done, she wiped her hands and went out.
Little did he know that the deserted courtyard had completely changed. Ropes were connected at the top, and lanterns were hanging from them. It looked like a market for lanterns.
Ji Yunshu was completely dumbfounded. 'Is this still the Bamboo Creek Garden?'
The maidservants in the courtyard had just finished their work and dispersed, leaving only Jing Rong standing under the Yao tree. He raised his head and looked at the miniature red lantern hanging on the tree.
Ji Yunshu walked over. She wanted to reach out and touch him, but she dispelled the idea.
She said, "Today isn't the Lantern Festival. Why did you hang so many lanterns?"
Jing Rong didn't respond.
He continued to look at the lanterns with his hands behind his back. He was very serious.
Ji Yunshu sighed. She raised her hand and reached for the lantern. Just as her fingertips touched the lantern, Jing Rong caught them.
His hands stopped in mid-air.
After a long time …
Ji Yunshu's heart tightened. She bent her elbow, wanting to withdraw her hand. She didn't expect that Jing Rong would follow her movement and move his hand downwards.
Then, he forcefully grabbed her hand again, firmly clasping it in his palm, making it impossible for her to break free.
Unlike before, this time, she didn't yell at him to let go.
There was an inexplicable ambiguity in the air.
Jing Rong gazed at her with deep emotion and asked, "This Prince wants to hear the answer I wanted from the beginning. Now, I want to hear it."
Hmm?
She was puzzled.
"Why are you feigning ignorance in front of me? This Prince has already asked you, do you not have a single trace of me in your heart? You haven't answered me yet, but you can now. "
In the past, Ji Yunshu would have answered him without hesitation.
But this time —
Her heart was inextricably linked. That long thread kept twisting around her heart, making it blurry.
It probably had something to do with the romantic decoration of the courtyard.
Seeing her hesitation for so long, Jing Rong's eyes flashed with hope.
"From Jinjiang to the capital, you and I have experienced so many things. You have already expressed this Prince's feelings for you. Now that things have come to this, are you still not willing to face your feelings?"
"I …" She was at a loss for words.
Jing Rong pulled her into his embrace and gave her a peck on the chest.
He spoke with deep emotion and sincerity, "I lied. I don't want you to leave the capital. I don't want you to leave with Wei Yi. Even if the capital is full of uncertainties, I still don't want you to leave. If you really leave, this Prince's heart will probably die. Do you have the heart to do that?"
Tears seemed to be squeezing out of her eyes.
Ji Yunshu panicked. Her shoulders tensed up as she looked at Jing Rong in front of her.
She bit her crimson red lips, not knowing what to do.
This nervousness reminded her of Su Ziluo's words at the gate tower.
"In fact, there is already someone living in your heart."
Perhaps before this, she didn't dare to confirm who that person was. But at this moment, the strong feeling in her chest told her that it was him.
'That person is Jing Rong!
That's right, it's him! '
That intense feeling made her afraid. She looked to the side and said, "You are a prince, and I am just a commoner. Between you and me, it is impossible."
"So, from the beginning to the end, you have been worried about this matter?"
"No, I just …" She was a little flustered. She stammered, "I don't know."
'You don't know?'
Because of her words, Jing Rong's lips gradually curved into a smile. His heart was bursting with joy, and it was written all over his face.
He tightened his grip and pulled her closer to his chest.
He raised his eyebrows and said excitedly, "So, in other words, you have this Prince in your heart? Am I right? "
"I … I don't know."
'It's good that she didn't deny it.'
Jing Rong's heart felt like it was smeared with a layer of honey. It was so sweet!
He took the opportunity to hook his finger and raise her chin. He smiled evilly. "It's fine if you don't know, but at least it proves that you are slowly falling in love with me."
"No!"
"Are you still denying it?"
"I … I'm not."
She wanted to turn her head away, but her chin was tightly pinched by Jing Rong. Her waist was also locked by his hand.
Jing Rong lowered his head. The distance between their eyes was about a fist's width.
The sound of their breaths lingered on the tip of their noses. It was warm and crisp.
Ji Yunshu bit her lips, and her fair face reddened in an instant.
She looked a bit bashful.
Jing Rong looked at her, and the smile on his face became unrestrained.
"Today is a beautiful day. I really can't let it go to waste."
'Huh?'
Before Ji Yunshu could react to his words, Jing Rong's cold lips were pressed against hers.
The temperature of their lips changed from cold to warm in an instant.
Her hands were tightly clenched.
Their lips and teeth gently rubbed against each other. This kiss was much gentler than the previous few times.
The hand on Ji Yunshu's waist slowly loosened. It was as if he was giving her a chance to escape. But …
She didn't!
Instead, she became greedy.
Her clenched fists loosened bit by bit. She lifted them slightly and grabbed the hem of Jing Rong's clothes.
Only when the sudden kiss took her breath away did Jing Rong release her.
Their eyes met. Their lips were slightly pressed together like a lotus root.
Jing Rong raised his hand and gently caressed her palm-sized face.
Ji Yunshu compromised. She looked at him with reddened eyes. After a long time, she asked, "Will you leave me behind?"
"Will you leave me behind?"
Jing Rong's eyes flashed with determination. His fingers touched the shallow scar on her face.
