Chapter 96 Chapter 96 Woohoo, I don’t want to be a human being anymore! ...
After Xie Helan left the table, he lit a Kongming lantern. He looked up at the firefly-like light rising into the night sky, blending in with the vibrant fireworks. The light in his eyes gradually dimmed, and he turned and left.
It was a coincidence that tonight I chose a different secluded path to return to Penglai Palace than usual. I wanted to relax on the way and happened to pass by the Lakeside Pavilion.
From afar, she saw Jiangzhu and the palace servants waiting in the dark, and she became suspicious. "Why are you here? But the Emperor is also nearby?"
"Reporting to you, my lord," Jiangzhu bowed and replied, "Your Highness is drinking and enjoying the night in the pavilion."
Xie Helan frowned and rebuked him in a low voice, "On such a cold night, you didn't even stay by his side."
The palace attendants looked at each other, not daring to answer. Xie Helan could tell from their expressions that Ji Lian was in a bad mood. He sighed softly, "Then I'll go and comfort him."
Thinking it was just a few soothing words, Xie Helan left without the palace attendants. Initially, he could only hear the crackling of fireworks, but as he stood before the curtain, he heard unusual gasps and low moans from within.
At first, it sounded like sobbing, but closer listening revealed something blushing. Xie Helan, assuming Ji Lian was crying, flung aside the curtains. The sight within caught him completely off guard and pinned him to the spot.
Inside the hexagonal pavilion, the objects on the ground caught my eye first. There was a white furry outer robe, a loose palace sash, and a plain white lining scattered about, looking truly embarrassing.
Gradually move your gaze upwards.
Xie Helan's pupils were shocked, he simply couldn't believe what he saw.
His beloved sister, who had left the table long ago and disappeared without a trace, was now brazenly pressing Ji Lian against the beauty's back. She closed her eyes and kissed the person beneath her deeply, one hand gently pinching Ji Lian's waist, the other gradually moving downwards.
It is really unbelievable and disgusting!
"Stop! Where are you putting your hands?"
Without waiting for any thought, Xie Helan blurted out, and these words immediately startled the two men. They opened their eyes and looked at him at the same time.
Xie Helan looked at Xie Tingyu, who was looking at her in surprise, and Ji Lian, who was trembling in the hollow of her shoulder, and was so angry and frightened that she couldn't speak clearly. "You two, put on your clothes quickly!"
"I'll come in once everything is sorted."
After saying that, Xie Helan flicked his wide sleeves and jumped out of the curtain as if fleeing, as if there was a flood or a beast chasing him.
"ah……"
Xie Tingyu blinked at the swaying curtains, picked up his clothes and handed them to Ji Lian, who had buried her face in her knees. "Why don't you put on your clothes first?"
"what to do?"
Ji Lian's voice trembled, and the back of her neck flushed with cold and shame.
"what to do?"
Ji Lian suddenly raised her head, her eyes sparkling with tears and a crimson blush spreading out from the corners of her eyes. "I don't want to see anyone anymore. Brother Xie has seen us all. How am I going to get along with him in the future?"
Xie Tingyu put on his inner garment and outer robe and said, "It's not too bad. I was caught red-handed too."
Ji Lian grabbed her wrist and choked with sobs, "How can this be the same! I haven't put on any clothes yet! Wuuuuuuu, I don't want to be a human being anymore!"
"Okay, okay, okay."
Xie Tingyu patted Ji Lian's back and coaxed her gently, "It's nothing, actually. Do you know what it means to break the jar and let it go? From now on, we can be intimate openly in front of my brother. Now that you think about it, it feels much better that we don't have to be so secretive."
"Xie Tingyu!"
Ji Lian's eyes were filled with tears. "It's already this hour, and you still have the mind to joke. We were just caught..."
The last word "treacherous" was not uttered.
If you think about it carefully, he and Xie Tingyu have only made a private promise to spend their lives together, and there is no actual marriage. What's more, she still has no husband. If you really want to trace it back, they are actually just a pair of lovers.
What's wrong with lovers kissing, hugging, and touching each other?
Thinking of this, Ji Lian's originally turbulent heart suddenly calmed down a little. But seeing Xie Tingyu's nonchalant look, as if it had nothing to do with him, her heart tightened again, "Why do you look so indifferent?"
Seeing Ji Lian's expression of being faced with a formidable enemy, Xie Tingyu couldn't help but chuckle, "I was actually shocked just now, but it was only for a moment. After my brother left, I actually felt a little relieved."
"Why?"
"Because the one who captured us was my brother, not someone else. This is a blessing in disguise." Xie Tingyu sighed, "This is my first time being captured, and it's still happening. It's really exciting."
"It's really hard to explain to someone like you who has a brain disease."
It was useless to hesitate and agonize over it; he had to face reality. Ji Lian sighed, stood up, put on his inner garments, and then put on his clothes one by one. When he bent down to tie his palace belt, a pair of hands reached out silently and tied the knot for him.
Ji Lian stole a glance at Xie Helan, who was standing by the lake, and whispered, "How are you going to tell Brother Xie later?"
"Hmm?" Xie Tingyu swiftly tied his palace belt. "Just tell me what you want to say. Just say that I couldn't resist the temptation of Lianlian's beauty, and I couldn't control my emotions, so...hiss, you stepped on me and it hurt."
Ji Lian stepped hard on her pointed boots and said anxiously, "If you talk like this, Brother Xie will definitely think that I am not a man and seduced you. Don't slander me like this!"
"No, who just said in front of me—"
Xie Tingyu coughed lightly a few times, his expression lifelike. "I am just so unethical, so unreasonable. I was just repeating your words, and this is called...hiss, I just realized now that you guys still have some strength."
"No! No! No!"
Ji Lian's eyes drooped, and she spoke with grievance, "Those were just sweet words between you and me. How can you casually tell others about them? Xie Tingyu, please don't ruin my reputation in front of outsiders."
Xie Tingyu ignored the words, even though she knew someone was waiting outside. The mischievous nature in her heart was stirring. She lowered her eyes and watched the red, swollen lips of the person before her open and close, and the itchy feeling in her heart could not help but surge up again.
"I'm talking to you, why are you... um..."
Before he could finish his words, Xie Tingyu kissed him unexpectedly.
Ji Lian was unable to resist, and was pressed against the pillar of the hexagonal pavilion by Xie Tingyu, who kissed her deeply. As their lips and tongues intertwined, the presence of Xie Helan outside frightened him, and he gritted his teeth and bit the tip of her tongue.
Xie Tingyu stepped back in pain.
Ji Lian was furious, her voice trembling, "You still come to kiss me. Xie Tingyu, why are you still so indecent at this time?"
"Anyway, no matter what I say later, my brother will scold me. So why not steal a few more kisses right now? Nothing is more important than kissing you."
After she finished speaking, she held Ji Lian's face again, and her lips and tongue invaded her recklessly, causing Ji Lian's Adam's apple to roll up and down, and she almost couldn't breathe.
Xie Helan stood quietly by the lake for a long time, and finally managed to digest the scene he had just seen, but his mind was still full of the ambiguous image of Xie Tingyu pressing on Ji Lian.
He took a deep breath, turned and walked into the pavilion. He lifted a corner of the curtain and saw his good sister holding someone and kissing him again.
His chest suddenly tightened, his internal organs were churning, but he still couldn't accept it.
When did these two get together?
"How long are you going to kiss?"
As soon as Youyou said this, Ji Lian was frightened like a mouse seeing a cat, and she pushed Xie Tingyu away in a panic. She pursed her lips a few times, but it was not enough, so she wiped it with the back of her hand.
Xie Helan's gaze slowly fell on Xie Tingyu's face, "You haven't wiped the lip balm off the corners of your mouth since just now."
Ji Lian hurriedly pulled out a handkerchief from her sleeve, went over to wipe the blush from the corner of her mouth, and seeing her trying to hold back a laugh, she felt angry and embarrassed, and couldn't help but pinch the back of her hand a few times.
After the two men finished cleaning up, the three of them sat together at the stone table.
"Go ahead." Xie Helan glanced at the two people sitting opposite him, his expression stern. "How long has your affair been going on?"
Xie Tingyu recalled it calmly, "I think it happened not long after I returned to Jiankang."
Xie Helan was startled, his face filled with shock. "Doesn't that mean you two have been like this for over half a year?"
Xie Tingyu nodded calmly.
Ji Lian felt like she was sitting on pins and needles, like a thorn in her back, like a fishbone stuck in her throat. Her fingers clenched nervously around her knees, causing wrinkles to form on her clothes. Xie Tingyu caught sight of this and reached out, but Ji Lian's fingers gripped her tightly.
He swallowed silently, looking at Xie Helan's face in front of him, which was full of anger, then turned to confusion. Finally, he said something shocking, "Then Lianlang, have you drunk any... um... contraceptive soup?"
Ji Lian's heart exploded, and she suddenly pinched Xie Tingyu's fingers hard, squeezing the surrounding flesh into a bluish-white color.
Xie Tingyu turned his face away, his shoulders shaking. Although his hands hurt, it was so funny that he couldn't help laughing.
Ji Lian's ears turned red as she hesitantly said, "We...we...we haven't actually reached the final step yet."
"Then what you did just now..." Xie Helan was stunned at first, then coughed awkwardly, "It's unavoidable for young people to be full of blood and passion, but they must know how to restrain themselves. You are not married yet, so you must not..."
He paused, "Don't get pregnant before marriage."
Ji Lian's face flushed red, and she almost hid her face under the stone table, not daring to say anything more.
"Are you drunk and disrespectful tonight?"
Xie Tingyu, on the other hand, had already burst into laughter. At the gazes of the two men, she pursed her lips to stop laughing and said seriously, "Brother, the relationship between Lianlian and me is not what you think. We are—"
Ji Lian's breathing stopped suddenly. When she heard the words "mutual love", her heart trembled suddenly and her whole body seemed to be struck by lightning. This time, she held Xie Tingyu's hand tightly.
The drunken feeling that had been dispelled by the shock returned, and now I felt dizzy and intoxicated. My mind kept repeating: She admitted it! She admitted it! She really admitted this love in front of others!
Seeing Xie Tingyu's sincere expression, Xie Helan's expression eased slightly, but he still frowned when he thought of what had happened in the pavilion. "I know your love is deep, but how can such presumptuous behavior be tolerated in the palace? Moreover, Tingyu, you still hold an official position."
Ji Lian lowered her head and shrank her shoulders, wishing she could minimize her presence.
"Reirou."
Xie Helan called out, and when he saw him look up, he continued, "I too have had the heart of a young man. But I must never be as reckless as I was tonight."
Ji Lian stammered, "Yes."
Xie Helan put on a serious face for once and scolded Xie Tingyu, "I will keep tonight's events a secret for you. Now that it's getting late, you should leave the palace immediately."
"Ah..." Xie Tingyu looked at Ji Lian, then at Xie Helan, "Can't you stay a little longer?"
"Get out. Remember to take a detour and don't let anyone see you leaving from here."
"No, brother, I..."
"Lian Lang and I were just having a private conversation that only men can listen to. What does it have to do with you? Leave now."
Xie Tingyu had no choice but to get up and leave. In the blink of an eye, the night wind blew through the curtains, leaving only the two of them facing each other in the pavilion.
With a snap, the charcoal fire exploded.
Xie Helan gently placed the teacup on the stone table and stared at Ji Lian, who kept her head bowed. "Lian Lang, although we are good friends, for the sake of Tingyu's career, I will keep this a secret for now. But this does not mean that I am optimistic about this relationship."
"I know."
Ji Lian pursed her lips, her voice almost inaudible, "But I...but I just can't control my heart, and I...I also blame Xie Tingyu, she always comes to provoke me."
Xie Helan remained silent after hearing this, his expression complicated. After a while, he said, "What I just said was just my opinion. Don't take it to heart. Who can predict the future? If we only talk about character, talent and appearance, you two are a perfect match."
Her eyes swept over his swollen lips and the kiss marks on his neck, "You, really haven't reached the last step?"
"...No." Ji Lian's ears felt burning hot.
Xie Helan carefully studied Ji Lian's face, seeing that he was completely shy and in love for the first time, and couldn't help but sigh: "My mother may appear gentle on the surface, but when it comes to the family's future and her career, she never backs down. Even if this relationship may end in vain, will you still persevere to the end?"
Ji Lian's eyes trembled slightly, and she looked up at Xie Helan. Her tone was very soft, but sonorous and powerful, "Yes, I will never regret it."
-----------------------
The author has something to say: I can still write some 1v1 pure love stories now, but I wonder if after 2-3 years, I will start to go crazy and write something else.
Oh, by the way, I'm planning to open a pre-collection for my third female-dominated novel and give this channel another try. But I'm completely out of ideas right now. I don't know what to write, I don't have a name, I don't have a copywriter, and I don't even know if it's a 1v1 or 1vn. The only guarantees are three things: 1. I wrote it myself, 2. All the male characters are beautiful virgins, and 3. The female protagonist is a grassroots heroine who marries a beautiful, wealthy woman (in this case, would you accept it?)
