Chapter 314: Past Warmth



Lin Jiuxi was so sleepy that he just snuggled in Nangong Jing's arms.

Nangong Jing sighed softly and said in a low voice, "When I was in the palace, the one who played best with me was Brother Xuan. I really didn't expect that my sister-in-law would do such a thing."

Lin Jiuxi couldn't open his eyes and just hummed.

He continued, "I still remember that we were still young at that time. In the palace, except for a few of us, there were only eunuchs and slaves. Bullying the weak was a small matter. The most frightening thing was loneliness. No one played with us, so we could only find fun on our own. Brother Xuan looked like a gentleman and was good at studying. The teachers praised him, saying that he had neat handwriting and was good at drawing."

Lin Jiuxi continued to hum in a daze.

Nangong Jing also knew that he was half asleep, but in his heart he just wanted to find someone to talk to, so he pinched Lin Jiuxi maliciously, allowing Lin Jiuxi to poke him in the stomach with his elbow.

He was not angry, and said slowly, "He is my favorite person in the palace. He is a good person. Sometimes he draws pictures of green mountains for me, telling me that people should be like green mountains, unmoving and majestic. But when he draws pictures, he is most afraid of snakes, insects and ants. He will jump up and down in anger when he sees one. So every time he goes, he must drag me along."

When I came down, Linglong was already eating fried small yellow croaker, accompanied by a bowl of light-flavored lotus root.

"Humph, as long as you two live happily in harmony, shouldn't I be happy to see it?" Linglong said.

"What's wrong?" Lin Jiuxi had been listening to the story for so long that he was woken up by the noise.

"That winter, he wanted to paint the Snowy Scene at the Withered Lotus Pavilion. I was afraid of the cold and didn't want to go with him. He kept pestering me for half the afternoon, and I was fed up with his nagging, so I had no choice but to go with him in a boat. He painted for a long time, and later it was dark, so I hid in the bushes to scare him. When he found me, my legs were numb, but..."

But when he heard his brother say that he would never dare to paint again, he immediately shouted out from where he was squatting in the bushes.

It's all his fault!

Lin Jiuxi had a big appetite and ate half a bowl of beef noodles in one breath. He even ate several pieces of cold-cut braised beef.

Lin Jiuxi also knew that Linglong did not mean any harm, and smiled a little embarrassedly.

Lin Jiuxi held his hand. She knew very well that people with a cold personality like Nangong Jing could not care about many people.

"So Xier, are you laughing at me for not being able to get married?" Linglong's words were sinister, but her expression didn't change much, and she was still crunching on the dried yellow croaker.

He knew that his brother was good at painting and he also liked painting. It was a pity for him to give up just because of a prank he played.

"What's so difficult about this? As long as Aunt Linglong sits in the big red sedan chair, people can live in the house." Lin Jiuxi was not afraid of these words and retorted without hesitation, "We are married in a formal way. It is natural for my husband and I to live in the same room."

I dare not say such things.

This Prince Xuan might be considered one.

Even Nangong Jing felt somewhat embarrassed after being exposed so bluntly. Even though he tried to act calm, the blush on his face did not fade away for a long time.

The next day, both of them accidentally overslept and didn't wake up until noon.

Nangong Jing's heart was burning with heat and his eyes were glowing with passion. He didn't know how to repay Lin Jiuxi's affirmation and recognition.

Nangong Jing still remembers the snow that day. The pavilion was covered with white snow, with a few red tiles visible. It was so beautiful and perfect for a painting.

Lin Jiuxi's face turned red and she couldn't help but kick Nangong Jing.

Lin Jiuxi tried his best to push the person away, "You can't do this!"

He originally wanted to trick his brother again to see if he would bother to pull him out in the future. It was very cold in the winter.

After Brother Xuan found him, he was not angry. He even forbade others to take action and carried him back on his back even though his legs were numb.

Lin Jiuxi's face immediately turned red, and she bit her lip and made a face to glare at Nangong Jing.

Nangong Jing noticed that Lin Jiuxi had looked at the small yellow croaker in the exquisite bowl for several times, and asked openly, "Where did Auntie get the small yellow croaker? I'll buy some for Xi'er too."

Lin Jiuxi's brain was quick, and he quickly changed the subject and said, "Don't worry, Aunt Linglong, I'm a doctor, so I naturally understand. You don't have to worry about this."

"But he was scared and cried. A man was looking for me while crying, thinking that I fell into the water." When Nangong Jing said this, a warm feeling surged in his heart.

If I jump down from here, it will definitely attract a lot of attention.

He still remembered how the little gentleman wiped his tears, shouted his name, and said that he would never paint again.

Linglong watched them eat with relish, biting the fried yellow croaker until it was crunchy. "Tell me, what's going on with you two? One person can turn into two when he goes in. This is a really nice trick."

Lin Jiuxi, who was so tough just now, immediately became timid at this moment, "How can this be possible? Whether to get married or not, it's just a personal choice. Besides, Aunt Linglong is so beautiful, I haven't seen anyone who can match you. We can't let them pick us up for free, it's better for us to live a comfortable life."

The kitchen cooked two bowls of beef noodles, two braised eggs and a plate of cold cuts of braised beef.

She didn't want Nangong Jing to feel so disappointed, so she told him sincerely: "No matter how dangerous it is, we will go. Whether they support it or not, I will go with you."

So the two of them went downstairs together, just in time to have brunch.

"I'm just worried that you two are young and ignorant, and you're doing things recklessly all day. But with the war ahead, if you have a child, it will be very inconvenient. You should be more restrained." Linglong said as if sighing, "Young people are full of energy."

Lin Jiuxi and the other person hadn't eaten breakfast either. They had been in a fierce battle the night before and were already hungry. Now they were even more greedy when they smelled the aroma of fried yellow croaker.

Nangong Jing put on his clothes and wanted to climb back through the window, but when he opened the window, he saw the hustle and bustle of traffic below.

She quickly ordered the kitchen, "Serve anything you want, the sooner the better."

"However, Aunt Linglong, we want to enter Prince Xuan's Mansion. Do you have any ideas?"

Linglong pretended not to understand and said, "Isn't Prince Xuan your brother? It's not easy to go to your brother's house. Just treat it as visiting relatives."

"Aunt Linglong, please stop teasing us. If we are discovered, we will be in big trouble." Lin Jiuxi begged for mercy.

"I'm not lying, just go and look for your relatives." Linglong actually said this.

Nangong Jing and Lin Jiuxi didn't understand what it meant, but Linglong refused to explain it.
