Chapter 99 Kissing

Yao Yu looked slightly stunned. He had never expected that Xiaolu and Xiaowu would apologize to him.

"You two don't have to be like this. I know some things are not what you want, so you don't have to apologize for others." Yao Yu knew what was right and what was wrong. The Yao family's property being ransacked was not what they wanted, nor was it what they expected.

Like the Yao family, they were all implicated, so Yao Yu would not and could not transfer his resentment to them.

"Those who deserve to die are those who have evil intentions and disrupt the government, and those who maliciously sow discord between Dayin and Alhan." Yao Yu's voice was filled with hatred. When he came to Wuling City, he bribed someone to go to the dungeon.

Whether it was his mother or his brothers and sisters, they were starving to the point of looking like ravagers, their bodies covered in scars. If he hadn't returned so quickly, his mother wouldn't have been able to make it either.

If he hadn't made a little money and had some connections in the capital, he really wouldn't have been able to make his mother and the others live comfortably in prison.

Qin Yuqing sighed silently. She walked forward and patted Yao Yu on the shoulder. Then she sat down next to Lu Jingchuan and picked up a pen to write on the paper.

"First of all, we must make it clear that you all have no second thoughts now."

Qin Yuqing's sharp gaze swept across the faces of everyone present. Seeing that everyone looked normal, he continued, "Since we've come to Wuling City, and the Yao family incident is closely related to Alhan, it's obvious that we need to resolve the Yao family's affairs."

"But I have some very unfortunate news. The entire Arhan clan has disappeared."

Qin Yuqing took a pen and circled the words "Yao Family Poisoning Case" and "The Entire Arhan Clan" on the paper. "Tomorrow, I will go meet the Fifth Lord, the prefect of Wuling City."

"One thing at a time."

Everyone returned to their respective rooms. The Arhan twins had not seen each other for a long time, and the two siblings reminisced in the room.

Xiao Wu, the national teacher, collected some clues secretly. At the same time, he also learned about some things that happened in the National Teacher's Tower while Qin Yuqing and Xiao Lu were in the south.

Pu Qinghe and Chuntao were guarding Qin Yuqing's door. They did not encounter any assassination attempts along the way, but they were more vigilant, fearing that someone would come to assassinate them at night.

It was all too quiet, too quiet to be right.

Lu Jiu and a group of secret guards were guarding all around. From the moment they set foot in the western territory, everyone had a very bad premonition.

After Qin Yu washed and rinsed her face, she let her hair down with small water droplets hanging from the ends. She sat on the second-floor window with her legs hanging outside, and the breeze blew her sleeves and hair.

When Lu Jingchuan opened the door, he saw Qin Yuqing sitting like this. She was facing the huge full moon with her slender right hand stretched out towards the moon.

It was as if she was about to leave under the moonlight at the next moment, or as if she would become a butterfly with a broken string, moving towards the moon without hesitation.

For some reason, Lu Jingchuan's heart skipped a beat. Almost subconsciously, without any thought, he walked quickly forward and hugged Qin Yuqing.

When Qin Yuqing heard the voice, she wanted to turn around, but she smelled the familiar scent of plum blossoms. Qin Yuqing let down her guard, pointed at the moon and was about to speak when Lu Jingchuan hugged her tightly.

Feeling Lu Jingchuan's trembling body, Qin Yuqing was a little confused, but still put her hand on the back of Lu Jingchuan's hand and patted it gently.

"Jingchuan, what's wrong?"

It was quiet all around, and the wind was still blowing Qin Yuqing's sleeves, but this time, there was also Lu Jingchuan blown by the wind.

After a while, Lu Jingchuan's voice was muffled, with a slight tremor and helplessness. He was like a child walking on the clouds, afraid of falling.

"Aruan, it's dangerous."

"Huh?" Qin Yuqing didn't react at first, then looked at the night watchman not far away, and Qin Yuqing suddenly understood what Lu Jingchuan was afraid of.

He was afraid that he would jump down, afraid that he would leave again and disappear from this world.

"Nothing." Lu Jingchuan's voice was still muffled. Perhaps he felt that he was showing his emotions too much. He just wanted to let go when he heard Qin Yuqing say.

"Jingchuan, it's a little high. Please carry me down. I'm a little scared."

Different from Qin Yuqing's crisp and clear speaking style, this time Qin Yuqing's words were soft and the ending tone kept rising, which made people feel itchy.

Lu Jingchuan: “!”

The next moment, Lu Jingchuan picked up Qin Yuqing and sat down on the rattan chair near the window. Qin Yuqing naturally sat on Lu Jingchuan's legs and leaned her body on Lu Jingchuan.

"Look, the moon is very big and beautiful tonight." Qin Yuqing said happily.

In modern times, she grew up in the city. When she looked up at night, she saw only neon lights and tall buildings. Where could she find such a beautiful night sky?

As she spoke, Qin Yuqing turned her head and was caught off guard by Lu Jingchuan's eyes. Her heart beat faster and faster, her breathing became faster and faster, and the atmosphere around her became increasingly heated.

The next moment, Lu Jingchuan placed his fingers on Qin Yuqing's chin and gently lifted it up.

The two people slowly closed their eyes, their breaths gradually approached and constantly intertwined, and their lips softly touched each other, kissing gently and affectionately.

Qin Yuqing's teeth were gently pried open, and she subconsciously let out a "hmm", her hand unconsciously grabbing Lu Jingchuan's sleeve.

Perhaps sensing Qin Yuqing's reaction, Lu Jingchuan's breathing became heavier, and he deepened the kiss again, his hand also stroking Qin Yuqing's waist.

After a long time, the two slowly separated. Qin Yuqing buried herself in Lu Jingchuan's arms, gasping for breath. She looked at the moon in the sky again, and a tear fell from the corner of her eye.

"Jingchuan, maybe you can understand, maybe you can't, but it doesn't matter, I want to tell you."

Qin Yuqing's voice was hoarse. Lu Jingchuan gently wiped the tears from Qin Yuqing's face, hugged her tenderly and whispered, "I'm listening."

"In my world, there is also a moon." Hearing Qin Yuqing's words, Lu Jingchuan's eyes lit up again, which meant that his A Ruan was willing to tell him such an important secret.

"Is the moon over there the same as the moon in front of us?" Lu Jingchuan, who used to be like a god of death, now had an unshakable tenderness in his eyes.

Qin Yuqing shook her head, regret flashing in her eyes: "Where I am, there are only very tall buildings, about a dozen or so people tall." Qin Yuqing stretched out her hand and gestured.

"So I can't see such a full moon, nor such a big moon."

"Then, Ruan, do you still like the moon over there?" Lu Jingchuan still had one question to ask, but he already knew the result.

Will you go back?

Qin Yuqing looked at the moon. She took Lu Jingchuan's hand, interlocked their fingers and said, "I like it. In our place, the moon usually represents homesickness. It means that I miss you very much."

"So, when the two of us are separated by our own affairs, as long as you look up at the moon, I will know that you are thinking of me."

Lu Jingchuan looked at the moon, then at the person illuminated by the moonlight. A complex look flashed in his eyes. Finally, he closed his eyes and spoke slowly.

"Okay, this is our agreement."

Suddenly, something warm and soft gently touched Lu Jingchuan's eyes and then left.

When Lu Jingchuan opened his eyes, he saw Qin Yuqing's gentle smile. At this moment, there was only him in her eyes.

"Aruan, you..."

Qin Yuqing stood up again, and this time, she kissed Lu Jingchuan on the lips.

Lu Jingchuan stretched out his hand to support Qin Yuqing's waist so that she had a fulcrum, and placed his other hand on the back of Qin Yuqing's head.

Hearing Qin Yuqing sobbing again, Lu Jingchuan's reason was like a broken string, and the emotions that had been hidden for a long time surged up again.

Afraid that Aruan would disappear, afraid that Aruan would get hurt, afraid that Aruan would not want him...all kinds of emotions echoed in his chest.

Unconsciously, Lu Jingchuan increased the strength of his hands, as if he wanted to rub Qin Yuqing into his body so that she would never disappear.

He had experienced A Ruan's disappearance once, and had also experienced a world without her many times. This time he didn't want to experience it again, and he couldn't bear a world without her.

After a long time, Qin Yuqing pushed Lu Jingchuan's chest, her eyes misty, she looked at Lu Jingchuan with blurred eyes, and stretched out her hands to hold Lu Jingchuan's face.

"If I complete my mission and return home, I will take you with me."

Lu Jingchuan opened his mouth and subconsciously wanted to ask if he could not go back, but when he thought of Qin Yuqing looking at the moon with nostalgia, the words changed his mind.

"Mission accomplished?"

Qin Yuqing nodded, and just when he was about to explain it in detail, the system's sharp alarm sounded in his mind.

Warning! Warning! Warning!

[The host cannot reveal the existence of the system to anyone in this world! ]

Warning! Warning! Warning!

[The host has been detected to have violated the rules. Considering this is the host's first offense, the punishment will be reduced.]

As the system's voice fell, Qin Yuqing felt a huge pain in his body, as if there was a continuous electric current, slightly shocking Qin Yuqing's body.

Qin Yuqing kept twitching due to the electric shock, and her face was wrinkled because of the pain.

"A Ruan!" Lu Jingchuan hugged Qin Yuqing fearfully. His body was shaking abnormally because he was afraid of losing her.

Fortunately, the system was still humane and the electric shock punishment only lasted for one minute.

[The punishment is over. Please remember not to reveal the existence of the system to anyone in this world.]

Qin Yuqing's body was still twitching slightly. She reached out and held Lu Jingchuan's hand, and said weakly, "I'm fine, don't worry." After that, she asked the system in her heart.

"So you're still here. I thought you were killed by Yu Bingyan."

The system fell silent again and did not speak.

"Actually, I'm curious about something." Qin Yuqing's voice was cold and a bit self-destructive. "If I died now, what would you do?"

The system remained silent, once again playing deaf and dumb.

"Actually, you didn't want me to come. Or rather, it was you who made me leave this world when I was young and then reincarnate into the modern world."

"But why did you let me come back now? I'm afraid it's because of Yu Bingyan's existence. You found that you couldn't solve the problem and that my sister was controlled by him, so you had to let me come back. Am I right?"

The system was still pretending to be dead and not speaking.

"You know the system. I'm very cruel to myself. If I die, the world might really be over."

[The host won't do that. The host won't be willing to do that.]

Hearing this, Qin Yuqing laughed out loud, "I can't bear to leave? Why should I be reluctant to leave? I've suffered so much here, but in modern times, I grew up in a society ruled by law. I've had no worries about food and clothing and was spoiled by others. Why would I be reluctant to leave this place?"

Because you are a modern person, because you are educated, and because you are not indifferent to suffering.

The system's words left Qin Yuqing speechless. She really had no choice. The faces of the disaster-stricken people in the south were imprinted in her mind.

【So host, please complete the system task. 】

[After completing the task, the system can promise the host additional rewards, any wish is acceptable.]
