Chapter 288
It was so straightforward. His eyes were so pure, untouched by any pollution. Nalan Jingwen had lived for over a thousand years and had never seen such a pure person.
She took a deep breath and looked down at him.
"From now on, don't enter women's rooms casually, and especially don't remove your veil in front of others, understand?"
He blinked. "Auntie said my sister is a good person..."
So it's none other than someone else.
"Even if I'm a good person, you shouldn't just come into my room. There's a difference between men and women."
Perhaps because Nalan Jingwen's expression was so serious, he shrank back and said timidly, "Okay."
"You can't just take off your veil in front of others; no one is allowed to."
"……it is good."
Seeing that he obediently agreed, Nalan Jingwen turned around and prepared to leave.
"Go to sleep. The light in the room won't go out, so don't be afraid."
Seeing that she was about to leave, the boy quickly sat up. "Sister, aren't you sleeping here?"
"...Is it because I took my sister's bed?"
Nalan Jingwen turned her head and saw him looking at her innocently, seemingly feeling guilty and on the verge of tears.
"Have you forgotten what I just said?"
I remember, there are differences between men and women.
His pale lips were slightly pursed, his eyes were lowered, and his fingertips gripped the blanket. He looked so pitiful that anyone who saw him would exclaim, "He is truly beautiful!" Everything around him paled in comparison.
"……okay, I get it……"
After saying that, he obediently lay back down and covered himself with the blanket.
Nalan Jingwen snapped out of her daze from the powerful visual impact. She rubbed her temples and strode toward the door, though a closer look revealed a hint of panic in her steps.
After all that commotion, she lost her sleepiness and flew up to the roof, where she sat down. The moon was very bright tonight, hanging high in the boundless night sky; it was a perfect day for moon gazing.
She simply lay down on the roof, looking at the moon overhead. The night was desolate, and there were always other people like her who couldn't sleep. A crisp sound came from the tile next to her, and a shadow fell over her head.
"Your Majesty."
Familiar voice.
Nalan Jingwen glanced to the side and saw Jingchi, dressed in black that accentuated his slender figure, kneeling on one knee beside her with his head bowed.
"Still not sleeping yet?"
"I can't sleep."
"why?"
He pursed his thin lips slightly, looked up at her, and a hint of sorrow appeared in his bright blue eyes.
"I'm wondering what you meant by kissing me."
Nalan Jingwen raised an eyebrow, surprised by his bluntness, "What do you think?"
"I don't know."
He desperately needed a definite answer, not such ambiguity, which made him unable to calm down, causing him great anxiety and sleepless nights.
Nalan Jingwen beckoned to him, "Come here."
Jingchi looked at her and slowly sat down beside her.
"Lie down."
A commanding tone.
Jingchi's body stiffened slightly, but he still lay down as she wished, though there was a large gap between them, as if he was afraid of touching her.
Nalan Jingwen was somewhat displeased, so he wrapped his arms around his waist and pulled him into his embrace. Jingchi looked at the face so close to his, and for a moment he forgot to breathe.
"Isn't my meaning clear enough?"
Jingchi moved his somewhat stiff fingertips and carefully placed his palm on her waist. Seeing that Nalan Jingwen had no complaints, he then hugged her waist with peace of mind.
"Your subordinate is dull-witted..."
His voice was a little hoarse, and his eyes were a little red as he looked at Nalan Jingwen.
He still wanted to hear Nalan Jingwen say it himself.
Nalan Jingwen lowered her head, and this time, under his shocked gaze, she placed a gentle kiss on his lips without any concealment. Her tongue pried open his tightly clenched teeth, lingering and caressing him. Her entire mouth was enveloped by her refreshing breath. Jingchi's pupils shrank, and he became completely stiff and unable to move, only able to let her do as she pleased.
Even after the lingering kiss ended, he was still in a daze, as if he had been stunned.
Nalan Jingwen silently tightened his embrace, but his fingertips gently rubbed Jingchi's tailbone. Jingchi trembled as if he had been electrocuted, then went limp, breathing heavily, with large red wet patches appearing at the corners of his eyes.
She accidentally discovered his sensitive spot, never expecting him to be so easily manipulated.
Jingchi clutched the small piece of fabric around her waist, his voice hoarse as he softly called to her, "Your Highness..."
Poor thing, it looks like he's been bullied.
Nalan Jingwen brushed the hair from his face and responded.
"Mirror Pool, will you always stand by my side?"
Jingchi looked up, her eyes sparkling, but her gaze gradually hardened.
"Your subordinate swears to protect Your Highness with his life."
Nalan Jingwen chuckled lightly, "No one is forcing you to die. As long as I am here, you will not die."
"I'm asking you, are you willing to stand by my side forever?"
All the unspoken words were contained in this one sentence, so how could Jingchi not understand?
He was clearly excited, his eyes shining brightly, even more so than the moonlight tonight.
"Your subordinate, your subordinate is willing..."
He choked up and his eyes reddened when he said the last two words.
"I'm willing, I've always been willing..."
Even if Nalan Jingwen doesn't accept him, even if he can only stand behind her forever, silently watching her back, he is still willing to follow her and protect her with his life.
But now, his wish has come true.
All his fantasies have become reality today, how could he not be happy? This play is no longer a one-man show, all his feelings can be heard by her, how could he not shed tears?
It was as beautiful as a dream.
Hot tears streamed down his cheeks; now, he was starting to feel afraid.
I'm afraid all of this is just a mirage, something that will shatter at the slightest touch.
Nalan Jingwen raised his hand and wiped away his tears, but this action only made his tears flow even more profusely and endlessly.
She simply hugged him tightly, resting his head on her shoulder, "You are the person I trust most, which is why I am willing to entrust Hengyu to you. So, on this trip back to the capital, you must both be safe and sound."
To be honest, no one knew better than her whether Jingchi would betray her. She was someone he had personally taken in and watched him grow up. His identity was clear, and among everyone around him, only Jingchi was like that. He was like a transparent person to her, which is why she said he was the person she trusted most.
Everyone else would betray her, but Jingchi would not.
Jingchi gently wrapped his arms around her waist, cautious yet tentative, until he was completely close to her, greedily inhaling the scent on her body that he found so intoxicating.
"Subordinates take orders."
"Go to sleep, it's late, we have to travel tomorrow morning."
He closed his eyes, feeling the warmth of the person in his arms, and a faint smile of satisfaction appeared on his lips.
That's good...
The moonlight is perfect tonight, shining down on the world. On the rooftop, two people embrace, like a divine couple.
