A Kiss with a Confused Mind
The noisy surroundings seemed to have drowned out Jing Rong's words.
But Ji Yunshu still heard it clearly.
What did he mean by 'treat you well'? What did he mean by 'you really don't know'?
These two sentences were like boiling oil poured over her.
Her eyes faintly trembled as she panicked.
She could only remain silent.
Jing Rong's eyes were filled with anger, but at this moment, they were filled with deep affection.
He said, "Did you know that the first time I saw you, I guessed that you were a woman. I teased you time and time again, but you made my heart confused like a ball of string. It made me unable to sleep at night, and I couldn't eat. There were even a few times when I wanted to take off the crown on your head to prove my guess. Did you know that after I proved my guess, my mind was in a mess, and it was difficult to itch? Only you can make me like this!"
This time, Ji Yunshu understood.
This guy is confessing to me! '
Hey, hey, hey! Your Highness, wake up! It's impossible between us!
"Your Highness, I … I don't know what you're talking about. Let go of me." She struggled to get away from Jing Rong's grasp.
Unfortunately, Jing Rong blocked her completely.
He emphasized again, "You don't understand. Fine, this Prince will say it again. Pisces are joyful when they swim in the water. Single fledglings are born when they crawl. A peasant girl dreams, and a rock is firm."
Bang!
As soon as he finished speaking, fireworks exploded in the sky.
The night sky was filled with multicolored sparks. It was a dazzling sight.
The crowd around them burst into cheers.
Ji Yunshu looked at Jing Rong's unwavering eyes and didn't move.
Their eyes met and were glued to each other.
She pursed her lips and lowered her eyebrows.
With a tactful tone, she said, "Your Highness, the joy of Pisces will die in the face of drought. Single fledglings are born when they hatch, and separate when it rains. Your Highness's feelings are incompatible with mine."
The sound of fireworks exploding slowly drowned out her soft voice.
But Jing Rong could still hear it.
Between his eyebrows, there was a pair of slender eyes that slowly sank. His hands, which were gripping Ji Yunshu's arm, loosened like a button on a sewing needle.
Disappointment!
Still disappointment!
"Alright, This King understands!"
Ji Yunshu's confinement had been broken. She crossed her arms and looked flustered. There was an unfathomable emotion on her face as she took two steps away from Jing Rong's embrace.
The two of them had their backs to each other. One was dejected, while the other was so nervous that his hands were sweating.
Right at that moment, Ji Yunshu raised her eyes and saw Ji Muqing.
She was dressed in red, with a blue and white cloak draped over her shoulders. Her long hair was combed into a jade-spiral bun, with a golden hairpin in her hair, silver ornaments, and gold bracelets. In her hand, she held a four-cornered lamp, which was inlaid with gold thread. The edges were made of high-quality red bamboo wood, and the corners were decorated with silver pearls.
Behind him, there were four little girls following him!
Her attire was comparable to that of a concubine!
Seeing that he was about to walk in her direction, Ji Yunshu was in a dilemma. Should she 'bump' into him? Or should he avoid it?
Coincidentally, Ji Muqing was looking in her direction.
In a split second, Ji Yunshu's body was forcefully pulled away by a pair of large hands.
Ji Muqing, who was far away, was left with a gorgeous back view.
Just as she turned around, Ji Yunshu was once again pressed against the wall. Her sharp chin was pinched by Jing Rong's slender fingers and gently lifted.
Her small body was blocked by his tall and straight body.
As her chin was lifted, she was forced to meet Jing Rong's bloodthirsty gaze. It was filled with unwillingness and anger!
"Your Highness, please let me go."
"Yunshu."
He called out to her in a soft voice.
In an instant, he lowered his head and bent down, slightly lifting Ji Yunshu's chin again. One of his hands clasped around her waist, and his palm pressed down. His cold and severe lips moved towards Ji Yunshu's delicate, crimson lips.
Their lips met, and the sky was filled with splendid fireworks.
It was truly a beautiful scene.
Ji Yunshu, on the other hand, was startled by this sudden kiss. Her whole body went numb, and her eyes widened. Even her breathing gradually stopped.
Even Ji Pei had never been so intimate with her!
At that moment, Ji Yunshu's heart was in a complete mess!
She was so confused that she didn't know what to do. She was so numb that she forgot to resist.
But Jing Rong's kiss was in full swing.
Ji Yunshu raised her fair finger and placed it on her lips. She slightly wiped it, blushing as she looked at Jing Rong in disbelief.
She was stunned for a moment before she turned around and ran away in a panic.
"Yunshu …"
The moment Jing Rong called out to her, he didn't even have the time to pull her back. She had already rushed into the crowd.
Her figure was instantly covered by the people coming and going. Jing Rong could only do his best to push his way through the crowd, trying his best to find her figure.
However, Ji Yunshu seemed to have disappeared without a trace.
'Little brat, you ran pretty fast!'
He stood in place, letting the crowd bump into his shoulders.
After a while, his lips curled into a smile, and his ice-cold fingertips touched his lips.
That faint fragrance seemed to still be lingering!
And he was indeed a bit greedy!
After escaping from Jing Rong, Ji Yunshu seemed to have lost her soul as she returned to the Wei Mansion.
As soon as she entered her courtyard, she saw Wei Yi sitting on the stone steps outside the house with the extinguished plum blossom lantern in his hand. His head was lowered, and he looked very disappointed.
When he heard the sound of footsteps, he raised his head and saw Ji Yunshu. He immediately rushed over.
"Shu 'er."
"Did you come back by yourself?" She asked him.
He shook his head. "No, Sister Luan 'er and that Brother Hei brought me back."
'Brother Hei, he's talking about Lang Po, right?'
Ji Yunshu nodded without saying a word.
Wei Yi saw that her expression wasn't right. He tilted his head and asked, "Shu 'er, are you unhappy?"
Was her unhappy expression that obvious?
She forced a smile and shook her head. "I'm not unhappy. Wei Yi, it's already very late. You should go and rest early."
"But …"
"What's wrong?"
He raised the lantern in his hand. "Shu 'er, I haven't hung my lantern yet."
During the Lantern Festival, the higher the lantern was hung, the more auspicious it would be.
Ji Yunshu couldn't bear to see Wei Yi's regretful expression. However, her lantern had been destroyed by that bastard Jing Rong.
She really didn't want Wei Yi to be unhappy and ruin his mood.
Thus, after thinking about it, her eyes suddenly lit up.
She smiled and said, "Wei Yi, let's not hang lanterns anymore. How about we put up a Kongming lantern?"
"A Kongming lantern?"
"Yes, a Kongming lantern."
"Great! Let's put up a Kongming lantern!"
Wei Yi was overjoyed.
Soon after, Ji Yunshu called Luan 'er and told her to go find two Kongming lanterns.
Ji Yunshu brought some ink and brushes and placed the Kongming lanterns on a small table.
She picked up a brush and said to Wei Yi, "Wei Yi, this Kongming lantern can be hung very high. Many people use it to make wishes. If you have any wishes, you can write them on it."
"Really?"
"Of course. Then, what wishes do you have?"
Wei Yi thought for a moment, then picked up a brush and began to write on his Kongming lantern.
Ji Yunshu didn't know what he was writing, so she simply started to write on her own.
Very soon, a row of delicate and pretty words were written on the pure white Kongming lantern.
'May the heart be free from dust, and the dead be at peace!'
Ji Yunshu's wishes were different from those of ordinary people.
Luan 'er looked at it and asked, "Miss, don't ordinary people write something like' healthy body '? Why did you write this? "
She put down the brush and explained, "Living without scheming, dying in peace. This is the most beautiful thing in life and death. It is also the health of the soul."
"Huh? Oh. "Luan 'er didn't really understand.
At this time, Wei Yi also finished writing. Holding the brush, he smiled and said, "Shu 'er, look, I'm done."
When she came over to take a look, she saw that on Wei Yi's Kongming lantern, there were several crooked drawings of small people.
Some were tall, some were short, some were fat, and some were skinny.
Wei Yi pointed to the tall one. "This is me."
Then, he pointed to the fat one. "This is my father."
Then, he pointed to the slightly fat one. "This is my mother."
Then, he pointed to the thin one. "This is you, Shu 'er."
Wei Yi's clean face was flushed with happiness, it was extremely radiant!
Ji Yunshu's heart was moved, but she also felt guilty. That feeling welled up in her heart, almost making her tears flow out.
She calmed herself down and gently said, "Alright, Wei Yi. Let's light the fire and put the Kongming lanterns up."
"Okay."
The two Kongming lanterns were lit and slowly rose into the sky.
Under the ink-black night sky, a dazzling orange-red halo flashed, getting farther and higher …
Wei Yi bounced up and down, raising his head and saying a lot of words.
But Ji Yunshu didn't listen to a single word. She raised her indifferent eyes to look at the two Kongming lanterns, but her heart was heavy.
That was her first kiss!
Life was the same, and she was teased by a man countless times.
That kind of feeling was like a drum beating in her heart. It shrank and expanded, making her heart tremble even now.
…
At this time, in the Grand Canal Courtyard.
Jing Rong stood under the eaves with his hands behind his back. His ink-black robe slowly fluttered in the cold wind.
He raised his head and looked at the two Kongming lanterns floating in the sky. His lips gradually curved into a shallow smile.
In his mind, the scene of him kissing Ji Yunshu appeared.
The warmth was still there, melting into his heart.
At this time, Lang Po hurried over from afar.
He walked to Jing Rong's side and said, "Your Highness, there's a letter from the capital."
After saying that, he handed the letter to Jing Rong.
Jing Rong's faint smile instantly disappeared. His expression was solemn as he took the letter and opened it.
After going through the contents of the letter, he crumpled it into a ball in his hand.
A cold light suddenly flashed in his eyes. "It seems that Jing Yi had planned this move long ago."
