"What?"

Lu Yunting took out a jade pendant in the shape of a necklace from his arms. "Originally, I wanted to wait until next year's Lantern Festival to formally express my feelings to you. But now, I don't want to wait any longer."

He handed the jade pendant to Jiang Yueyang and said, "This is the jade pendant my mother left for me. She asked me to give it to... the person I like."

Jiang Yueyang lowered her eyebrows and looked at the jade pendant in his hand. It was an oval piece of white jade with pear blossoms carved on the surface. Lu Yunting knew what she was thinking as soon as he saw her expression, and said with a smile: "My mother also likes pear blossoms very much. This jade pendant was carved for her by my father himself."

Jiang Yueyang said "oh" and looked up at Lu Yunting, her eyes full of shyness and nervousness.

"Yangyang." Lu Yunting swallowed nervously, "I love you."

Jiang Yueyang was stunned. She thought Lu Yunting would say something like "I like you" or "Please be with me", but she never expected it to be the three words "I love you".

It was only five or six breaths, but Lu Yunting felt like a long time had passed. He couldn't help but ask, "Are you willing to be with me?"

Jiang Yueyang stared at him for a while with flushed cheeks, then slowly took a step towards him.

She took advantage of him not noticing, raised her hand, grabbed his collar and pulled it down, pressed her red lips against his thin lips, tasted him briefly and then left.

“That’s my answer.”

Lu Yunting's pupils dilated, and after a moment of silence, he curled up the corners of his mouth.

He held the back of her head with one hand and placed the other on her waist, gently pushing her closer to him.

Finally, he leaned in and kissed her.

His lips lightly touched hers, his movements extremely awkward and clumsy, without any skill at all.

Just like a child exploring the unknown world for the first time, he is cautious but also a little flustered and nervous, as well as reluctant and greedy.

After Jiang Yueyang came back to her senses from her shock, she slowly closed her eyes and tried to respond to him.

Both of their hearts were beating rapidly and their breathing gradually became hot.

It was not until Jiang Yueyang was almost out of breath that Lu Yunting reluctantly ended this unskillful but so addictive kiss.

Then he held her in his arms, buried his head in her slender neck, and spoke in a low, hoarse voice with a charming smile.

"Yangyang, remember to breathe next time."

Hearing this, Jiang Yueyang's already hot face became even hotter, and she felt extremely shy.

She punched his chest lightly and snorted, "You're not much better than me."

"Well... let's study together then."

Hearing this, Jiang Yueyang became even more shy, puffing up her cheeks and pouting, "Who wants to study with you?"

"You~"

"Stop talking."

Lu Yunting chuckled, his voice gentle and tender, "Yang Yang."

"Um?"

"I love you."

Jiang Yueyang smiled, "I love you, too."

Hearing the same response, Lu Yunting was overjoyed and couldn't help but hug her tighter.

The two hugged each other for a long time before separating, and Lu Yunting put the jade pendant on Jiang Yueyang.

Jiang Yueyang pinched the jade pendant, gently rubbed the pear blossom pattern on it, and said softly, "It's really beautiful."

"Yangyang, thank you for coming to me."

Jiang Yueyang raised her eyes to look at him, "You're welcome. I'm not as dignified and gentle as other girls, so I hope Ah Yue will bear with me in the future."

"Yangyang, very good."

They smiled at each other, and hugged each other again.

＊＊＊

Jiang Yueyang woke up from a sweet dream, hugged the quilt and rolled over shyly for a few times before she calmed down and sat up.

She took out the jade pendant and looked at it, and the scenes that happened last night emerged in her mind.

They are really together.

At this moment, the system, which had been silent all night, suddenly spoke.

[Host, the mental damage compensation you requested has been received, please check. ]

Jiang Yueyang sank into consciousness, and then saw a gift box floating in the empty air.

She reached out and tapped the gift box, and a green light came out from inside.

As soon as the green light was freed from the gift box, it entered her body from her forehead and merged with her.

The system explained sensibly: [Host, that green light is the light of life.]

【What's the meaning. 】

[It means that it can bring a person back to life, but only within half an hour after death. ]

Jiang Yueyang was very surprised. She didn't expect the system to give such a huge compensation.

So, she asked in confusion: [Don’t you have no money? How did you get such a powerful thing? ]

[Don't worry about this. Just tell me, have you calmed down? Do you forgive me? ]

[Since you have admitted your mistake so sincerely, I will forgive you this time. Don't do it again next time! ]

[Hmm!] The system responded heavily.

More than two quarters of an hour later, Jiang Yueyang got on the carriage to go to court. Today, Lu Yunting was still waiting at the intersection.

But Jiang Yueyang was still a little shy because of what happened last night, so after saying hello, she hid in the carriage without showing her face.

Lu Yunting didn't bother her and walked silently beside the car window.

Soon, they arrived at the palace gate. In order to observe etiquette, the two walked one after the other.

After arriving at the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Lu Yunting took the opportunity to hang up his cloak and quietly held her hand.

After a while, Emperor Yuan arrived.

Seeing that Jiang Yueyang was no longer depressed, he couldn't help but shift his gaze to look at Lu Yunting.

What did he do?

Civil and military officials also noticed that Jiang Yueyang's mood had improved, and they speculated that they had resolved the misunderstanding.

So... who is that girl?

General Zhenguo asked quietly, "Lu boy, have you reconciled with Lord Xiao Jiang?"
