Chapter 66 Chapter 66 Let me hold you for a while before we go.
"Oh, ancestor, please come out quickly." The personal palace servant called out from outside, with a hint of anxiety in his voice.
The hand that was about to touch suddenly withdrew. Ji Xun turned his head and looked outside. His childish voice was filled with a hint of dissatisfaction, "Come in and take a look with me. It's very dark in here. I can't see anything clearly."
"Your Highness, please forgive me. I left in such a hurry today that I didn't bring any lighter with me." The palace servant peeked out and cautiously moved inside. "This cave is filled with gloomy energy. If you catch a cold, I will be blamed."
Ji Xun looked back into the darkness several times, and inexplicably felt as if a pair of eyes were staring at him.
Suddenly I remembered that I had read in "Records of the Warring States Period" that there was a kind of monster called "Wangliang", which had two horns and a hairy body and liked to hide in such dark places.
A chill suddenly ran up my spine, and fine goose bumps instantly covered my body. I always felt that the eyes lurking in the darkness were obviously the pupils of a monster.
Your Excellency had warned her before that these spirits loved to prey on children, swallowing them whole in one gulp. Thinking of this, Ji Xun didn't dare to linger any longer and hurriedly turned and ran out.
"Then quickly come with me to look for them." Ji Xun's voice faded away. "Why can't I see Teacher and Uncle? You fell behind just now. Have you seen them? Are there still five people I haven't caught yet?"
Seeing that the person really left, Ji Lian breathed a sigh of relief, and her tense shoulders finally relaxed.
Compared to holding his breath and concentrating, he dared to lower his voice and said, "Xun'er almost touched us just now."
Xie Tingyu took out a handkerchief from his bosom and gently wiped the sweat from the back of Ji Lian's neck. He smiled softly and said, "Lian Lian, why are you so timid?"
"Coward? You actually said I was cowardly? Do you know that we are..."
The word "affair" was stuck in his throat, like a thorn in his throat.
Ji Lian stared at Xie Tingyu with resentment.
Doesn't he want to appear in front of the world arm in arm with her?
Didn't he want to openly call her Tingyu, or...wife?
Is it that he doesn't want to?
Is he willing to be so self-deprecating and do such a shameful thing with her in the dark room?
Is he willing to hide in this dark corner where no light can be seen, and live in fear like a rat or a dog every time he meets?
Is he willing to be nervous every time they are intimate, for fear that this private moment will be discovered by others?
The corners of my eyes were sore and swollen, and grievances surged in my chest like a tide. My throat seemed to be blocked by a ball of vinegar-soaked cotton wool, sour, astringent and bitter.
Xie Tingyu wiped the tears from his eyes with a handkerchief and said gently, "Why are you crying? I just called you a coward, and you're angry about that? You're wrong, you're wrong. Lianlian is the bravest person in the world."
It really doesn't make sense. Are you a pig, Xie Tingyu?
Ji Lian felt a surge of inexplicable anger rising to her head. She suddenly grabbed Xie Tingyu's collar and pulled him forward. "Xie Tingyu, do you really not understand, or are you pretending to be confused?"
"I really don't understand."
Xie Tingyu's words were sincere. Lianlian always hesitated to speak in front of her, always swallowing the words that were on the tip of her tongue. With all this confusion, how could she possibly fathom this young man's witty thoughts?
It is very tiring to guess every time, so Xie Tingyu chose not to guess.
"you!"
Ji Lian used both hands to tighten her knuckles, tearing the front of her clothes into a mess.
Is this bad woman pretending, or is she really confused?
In the thick darkness, he seemed to have finally broken free from the shackles of reason. He suddenly loosened her clothes, held her cheek, and bit it fiercely.
This time it was a real bite.
The savage little fox, like a cornered beast, gnawed at her lips with its fangs. The rusty, bloody scent lingered between her lips and teeth, only making the kiss even more intense.
After an unknown amount of time, Ji Lian finally let her go. In the afterglow of the bite, fear and relief intertwined like a tide, causing him to tremble uncontrollably.
He suddenly felt regretful.
Why bother arguing with her like this? Why let my emotions get so out of control? If I really anger her and she distances herself from me, then wouldn't all the effort I put into coming here today be in vain?
Ji Lian, ah Ji Lian, you are really under her control. I am afraid you will never be able to escape from her control in this life.
Unable to discern her expression in the darkness, and without any response from her, Ji Lian felt a surge of panic in her heart, her throat tightening. "Did it hurt when I bit you? Just now, just now I lost my composure. My dear Tingyu, please don't be angry with me. Please say something, okay? It's my fault, I was wrong, please don't ignore me."
He swallowed hard, his fingertips cautiously reaching for her lips. Before he could finish his words, his wrist was suddenly grabbed.
Xie Tingyu held his jaw with one hand, forcing his lips open and sealing them with a kiss. This kiss was gentle yet irresistible, her tongues sweeping across the scars on their lips, sweeping away any remaining blood, and then licking the wound repeatedly.
The two people's hot breaths entangled again, forming a mist in this small space.
"I'm not mad at you, Lianlian."
Ji Lian groaned in pain, but since she had nowhere to retreat, she could only accept it silently.
In this silent contest, Ji Lian felt that the root of her tongue was numb from being sucked and she almost lost consciousness.
He didn't let go until his lips were painful from the kiss. Suddenly, he felt a warmth on his forehead. It was Xie Tingyu who was leaning against him.
Strangely enough, Ji Lian's fierce biting just now not only did not annoy Xie Tingyu, but instead aroused a secret joy in her heart, and she even hoped that he would bite her again. When she came to her senses, she had already pinched Ji Lian's jaw and covered him with an even more passionate kiss.
"I like being bitten by you."
Ji Lian's ears burned when she heard this, and she cursed under her breath, "What a pervert!" She turned her face away in shame and annoyance.
Xie Tingyu once again grabbed his chin and turned his blushing face back.
She licked his slightly swollen lips with unsatisfied desire, and stroked his back with her hand. When his breathing became steady, she whispered in his ear, "Have we stayed here too long? Why don't we go out?"
"How do you want me to face people now?"
"If we go out like this, others will definitely notice something." Ji Lian rested his chin lightly on her shoulder and asked cautiously, "Now you've bitten back. Are we now even with that score?"
"No, I want more..." Xie Tingyu whispered a few words.
Ji Lian blushed when she heard this and subconsciously wanted to hide, but she was holding her chin and couldn't move.
He finally whispered "hmm" and agreed to her request.
Xie Tingyu's hand was now pinching his neck, forcing him to look up. From his slightly parted lips, intermittent, unbearable moans escaped. A slight suffocating sensation intertwined with a tingling sensation, leaving him in a trance, his vision a hazy, white mist.
If there hadn't been a whole stone wall behind him, he would have fallen down long ago.
Her lips covered his again, repaying the bite he had just given her with interest, but the next moment she gently licked away the blood that oozed from his lips. An unprecedented joy filled her.
Time passed, and in the darkness, only their intertwined breathing, suppressed groans of pain, and his intermittent low sobs lingered between the stone walls.
Xie Tingyu took Ji Lian by the hand and hid behind a bush.
It is almost the hour of You now. The clouds in the sky are dyed with pink, and everything seems to be immersed in pink.
Xie Tingyu carefully studied the emperor in front of him. His eyes were filled with tears, his lips were slightly swollen and glistening with water, with a trace of blood at the corner of his lips, and a few strands of black hair were clinging to his lips in a messy manner.
The outer robe hung diagonally on her shoulders, with the front wide open. From the collarbone downwards, it was covered with all kinds of messy sucking fingerprints. The tasseled waist belt was still in her hand.
Ji Lian lowered his head to straighten his disheveled shirt, his fingertips trembling slightly. Xie Tingyu noticed and reached out to fasten his waist belt, unlike his usual casual style, this time meticulously smoothing out every wrinkle.
Seeing Xie Tingyu turning around to leave, an indescribable reluctance suddenly gripped Ji Lian's heart.
He approached her from behind, his arms around her waist, his chin resting on her shoulder, and his face buried in the side of her neck. "If you leave today, I won't be able to see you for several days. Let me hold you for a while before I go."
Upon hearing this, Xie Tingyu turned around and hugged Ji Lian back, running his fingers through his hair and patting his back gently.
"Why are you always so resolute and unmoved when you leave?"
"Hmm?" Xie Tingyu stroked the back of his neck with her fingertips. "If I kept looking back, wouldn't it make you even more reluctant to leave me?"
Ji Lian didn't reply, but just rubbed his cheek against her shoulder gently.
After a long wait, Jiangzhu finally saw Ji Lian. Seeing several bloody marks on the princess' lips, she was surprised and immediately took out the veil she had prepared from her bosom. She then carefully examined Ji Lian's exposed skin. Whenever there were any ambiguous red marks that her clothes could not cover, she took out concealer and carefully covered them up.
"Ah! Uncle, you're here! It took me so long to find you."
Ji Lian looked up and saw Ji Xun pulling Xie Tingyu's sleeve and jumping towards them.
Ji Xun grinned and said, "Teacher, I caught you relaxing by the lake! Uncle, you're so good at hiding. I couldn't find you." Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of the veil on Ji Lian's face and tilted his head curiously, "Uncle, what's wrong with your face?"
Ji Lian's fingertips unconsciously stroked her veil and she explained in a gentle voice, "When I was hiding just now, I accidentally got scratched by a branch."
"Ah! How can that be!" Ji Xun's face wrinkled into a ball. "My uncle is such a beautiful man, he must go back and recuperate well. My father has the best jade muscle cream, I will ask him for it when I get back."
The "daddy" she was referring to was naturally Xie Helan.
Seeing the dusk deepen, a palace maid leaned over and whispered something in Ji Xun's ear. The child nodded, "I should go back and have dinner with my father. Don't worry, uncle. I'll send someone to deliver the Jade Muscle Cream to your palace later."
The three of them said goodbye in the twilight and left.
The days passed quietly, and in the blink of an eye it was the wedding day for Yuan Wangshu to marry the son of the Lu family of Fanyang.
