64 Chapter 64 Morning Spring Kiss
◎Sweeping, entangled◎
"I know clearly that dealing with one is enough."
When Yuliu finished speaking with a smile, the morning light that scattered through the gaps in the carvings on the wooden window and onto the corners of her eyes and eyebrows seemed to be brightened by Yunhe's breath.
Just like a white porcelain teacup that slipped from Yunhe's hand, the tea burst out and splashed as it fell rapidly to the ground. The water droplets reflected scattered streams of light just like the shimmering surface of a lake, flowing abruptly in the silence of the room.
Yunhe's eyes were half closed, and no emotion could be seen, but Yuliu stared at his trembling eyelashes, as if she had confirmed something.
The tips of her eyebrows raised slightly, and when she was about to continue speaking, her trembling eyelashes suddenly lifted up, revealing her dark pupils bit by bit, which were as black as ink and seemed to cover the endless night that swallowed everything.
Yunhe stared deeply at Yuliu.
Their eyes met.
The sight surged silently like a spring tide.
The water is rippling with waves.
They were so close that they could clearly feel each other's rising body temperature and the breeze created by their raised eyelashes.
There seemed to be thick ink rolling in Yunhe's eyes, and at the moment when the thick fog was about to dissipate, Yuliu saw her own face in Yunhe's eyes.
——In the other person's eyes, there is only her reflected.
This idea suddenly came to Yuliu's mind.
Will Yunhe...
Could it be that he had been looking at her like this for a long time, when she hadn't noticed, when she hadn't even realized it?
The scattered pillars of morning light, shining through the gaps in the carved wooden windows, suddenly stopped for a moment. The next second, they suddenly turned into extremely thin strands of light that fell down like fireworks that rose to a climax and bloomed in the night sky, covering the two people in the room.
Yuliu only felt that the air around her, which was filled with morning dew, was suddenly invaded by a familiar herbal fragrance.
It was clearly just the faint fragrance lingering on Yunhe's body from the long-term immersion in herbs.
But at this moment, Yuliu clearly felt that the soft and mellow scent seemed to have substance, wrapping her tightly.
The flawless white porcelain teacup suddenly cracked when it fell to the ground, making a crisp sound.
Yuliu opened her thin lips, her eyes flickering as she gestured, "Yun, Yunhe, that teacup..."
"It's just a teacup. If it breaks, it breaks."
Yun He was not affected by Yu Liu's words. He stared at Yu Liu with his dark eyes and asked, "What did you mean by that just now?"
Yuliu was naturally eloquent and had the ability to speak to different people. After she knew Yunhe's feelings, she wanted to appear calm and self-controlled, and deliberately spoke in an ambiguous way, hoping to test Yunhe's heartstrings.
Yuliu originally wanted to try to pull it over, but who could have expected...
Yun He really adhered to the gentlemanly and dignified manner. He asked directly and to the point, and did not respond to her tentative questions at all.
This straight shot...
Instead, it made Yuliu feel a little embarrassed.
"You just said I was going to resign to deal with the Fourth Prince and the eldest son of the Su family..." Yu Liu turned away, his eyes falling on the scattered white porcelain stains on the floor beside the wooden table. His heart surged with a sudden panic. "My answer... is exactly what it says."
Yun He frowned slightly, surprised, and seemed to be a little dissatisfied with Yu Liu's answer. However, he looked up at Yu Liu's sidelong glance and couldn't bear to ask any more questions. He sighed slightly and said, "Don't look at the teacup."
"Oh." Yuliu shifted her gaze to Yunhe, but felt that he was still staring at her silently. She inexplicably did not dare to look at Yunhe, so she could only lower her head, her eyes drooping, staring at the emerald green bamboo pattern on Yunhe's collar.
"Sit down." Yun He reached out his hand from the sleeve that was pressed by Yu Liu, gently grasped the girl's wrist, and helped her back to her seat. He then continued, following Yu Liu's words, "So what do you mean...?"
"I mean..."
Although Yun He helped Yu Liu back to her seat opposite, she still kept her head slightly lowered, seemingly reluctant to speak the truth. She intertwined two fingers with the embroidered handkerchief, pausing for a moment before speaking hesitantly, "I only need to deal with the eldest son of the Su family."
Yun He nodded as usual and said "Oh", then asked, "What? Don't you care about others anymore?"
Yuliu opened his lips to answer, but the words suddenly stopped when they reached his lips and tongue.
Her eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she suddenly looked up at Yun He, hesitating slightly and asking tentatively, "What's the matter?"
"...Huh? What's wrong?" Yun He frowned even more, as if he didn't understand why Yu Liu asked such a question.
Yuliu narrowed her eyes slightly and carefully looked at every subtle change on Yunhe's face.
Although there was no obvious joy, anger, sorrow or happiness on her face, Yuliu intuitively felt that Yunhe seemed... a little bothered by her directly referring to him as "the eldest son of the Su family."
What Yun He was worried about from the beginning was how she would explain to "Fourth Prince Xiao Tianmin" and "Su Yunyan, the eldest son of the Su family" after she let Su Yunyue and Jiang Jingmo leave Xiao Kingdom tonight.
If Yun He's focus just now was still on the fact that she agreed to the requests of the Fourth Prince and the Eldest Young Master but broke the contract, then Yun He's question should have been "Do you ignore the Fourth Prince anymore?" instead of "Do you ignore others anymore?"
It's like...
Yun He's expression seemed to imply that in addition to the Fourth Prince Xiao Tianmin and the eldest son of the Su family, Su Yunyan, there was another "someone else" who needed her to deal with.
Yuliu didn't answer for a long time, just stared at Yunhe's lips carefully.
Yun He, who was always very patient, pursed his lips slightly for the first time because he could not get a response, and his mouth corners were straightened.
As Yuliu glanced over, she suddenly stood up and sat on Yunhe's left side from opposite Yunhe.
——That is the location closest to Yunhe.
As early as the moment Yuliu stood up, Yunhe's gaze followed Yuliu like a shadow.
Yuliu sat down lightly, with her left hand bent on the edge of the wooden table. She turned sideways and supported her head with her wrist, looking at Yunhe with her beautiful eyes full of affection.
No matter what the circumstances, Yunhe always seemed to be honest and allow her to look at him.
Yuliu then indulged herself in quiet contemplation for a moment. Suddenly, a thought struck her, and she curled her eyelashes. With a smile, she explained, "Actually... we don't have to worry about what the Fourth Prince will say, at least not now."
Yunhe raised his eyebrows slightly and did not interrupt.
"Alright, even though you won't ask why this time, I still want to tell you something." As Yuliu spoke, the pink tip of her tongue licked her lips. She moistened her lips and continued, "Because after we get out, we won't be able to see the Fourth Prince at all."
"Why?" Yun He pursed his lips slightly and said slowly, "Since he asked personally, he should wait until you take the Fourth Prince's wife out and for them to meet before returning to the palace together."
"You just think he should wait for his wife, even though everyone would usually do the same. But..." Yu Liu nodded, quite agreeing with Yun He's statement. "However, ever since the Fourth Prince was granted special permission to attend court, he has never missed a single day due to personal matters. Naturally, this time will not be an exception for him."
"And now it's already noon." Yuliu raised her eyelids, looked over Yunhe's shoulder, and gazed at the spring scenery outside the window. Suddenly, she tilted her neck close to Yunhe's ear and whispered in a very low voice, "That's why I don't like Xiao Tianmin."
Yunhe seemed stunned for a moment.
I don't know whether I was more surprised by Yuliu's boldness in calling the prince by his name, or I was more surprised by Yuliu's directness in confessing his position.
In short, Yuliu always felt that Yunhe's earlobes seemed to be covered with a light layer of pink sunrise color.
But Yuliu still kept her sideways posture and whispered to Yunhe, "You also heard what my sister said before she left, right?"
"Um."
Yun He responded in a deep voice with his Adam's apple rolling. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a white neck line exposed by Yuliu, with smooth shoulder and neck lines flowing down and connecting to the smooth collarbone. In the morning light, the white skin was so fragrant and smooth that it was a little dazzling.
"But you clearly know that Su Yunyue only leaked that information to you because she wanted you to help her detain the Fourth Prince. Whether it's true or not is still debatable."
"Yes." Yuliu said, and moved a little further away.
As their noses brushed against each other, a ray of morning light flashed across Yuliu's fingertips, leaving a glimmer of light. Her slender fingers gently rested on Yunhe's shoulders, stroking the veins of the blue-green bamboo pattern as she whispered softly, "Although I only said I would check, I actually think there's no need for Sister to lie to me..."
"I believe what my sister said is true."
"Xiao Tianmin was born and raised in the imperial palace. Power and status, things that others spend their entire lives striving for, were easily attainable for him. He was a vested beneficiary of imperial power, so he had no sympathy for the suffering of the people. He could exploit them without guilt, simply to pave his own path to power. His marriage came too easily. I don't need to explain who the victim was in this marriage between a strong and a weak country. And my sister always treated others with great understanding, so he didn't cherish the warmth that was readily available."
As she spoke, Yuliu's fingertips slid down to Yunhe's folded collar. She spoke coldly, but her fingertips suddenly touched Yunhe's hot Adam's apple, and she chuckled as she leaned her face closer and asked in a very low voice:
"Don't you find it strange? Birthplace, maternal clan, marriage alliance... Each of these has brought countless advantages to Xiao Tianmin. It's as if everyone subconsciously thinks Xiao Tianmin is the future heir to the throne."
"I don't like Xiao Tianmin's life, which seems to be blessed by God."
Yuliu clearly said that she disliked Xiao Tianmin, but when she raised her head slightly and stared at Yunhe's tightly pursed lips, her eyes seemed to be filled with the morning light and spring scenery.
Her thin lips were pursed, and a hint of seductive color shone from between her lip lines.
Yuliu looked at him tenderly for a few moments, and suddenly increased the force of her fingertips that were gently stroking Yunhe's collar.
The girl's pink and white fingertips slid into the blue-green bamboo forest. As she hooked Yunhe's head and lowered it slightly, she raised her head and gently placed a kiss on Yunhe's silent thin lips.
Like peach blossoms floating in the spring breeze, gently falling on the branches of green bamboo.
They fit together perfectly, swept and entangled in the wind.
As they panted, the emotions that overflowed from each other's moist lips and tongues rose and spread in the room, entangled with the same feelings between them.
"I only like you."
