I've never seen anyone lose focus while using light-body skills.
Rong Qingqing's lips twitched slightly.
She was certain that Xie Jingrun had been daydreaming.
Xie Jingrun glanced at her, his handsome face slightly flushed, and suddenly said somewhat awkwardly, "Could you loosen your grip a little?"
"Huh?" Rong Qingqing looked at him blankly, then looked down and realized that she was clinging tightly to him. This position... was so embarrassing!
Her face flushed red, and she hurriedly released her legs from his body.
"Um... I was startled just now, and in my panic I did that... uh, don't mind it."
Xie Jingrun glanced at her and said in a hoarse voice, "It's alright."
Rong Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief.
The two of them remained silent for the rest of the journey.
It was quite late when we got back to the courtyard.
Out of politeness, Rong Qingqing felt she should say goodnight to Xie Jingrun, but as soon as she looked up, she met the man's deep eyes.
In the darkness, his eyes shone brightly, and as he gazed at her silently, they seemed to hold a thousand unspoken words.
Her heart skipped a beat, and her fingers curled slightly beneath her sleeve. Finally, she said to him lightly, "My lord, it's very late. Remember to rest early. Goodnight." Without waiting for his reaction, she turned and went back to her room.
Looking at the closed door across the room, Xie Jingrun lowered his dark eyes slightly.
After a long while, he sighed softly, turned around, and went back into the house.
Changlin stood under the eaves and heard his master sigh, thinking he had misheard.
My master is never one to sigh and complain, what's wrong?
"Changlin, prepare water."
At this moment, Xie Jingrun's voice came from inside the house.
"Yes," Changlin replied respectfully and went to prepare.
After the hot water was prepared, Xie Jingrun took off his robe. When he saw the dried marks on his trousers, his handsome face flushed, and he couldn't help but think of what Rong Qingqing had said to him on the roof.
That brat, does she think he's no good?
His thin lips were pressed tightly together, and his face was gloomy.
The next day.
Rong Qingqing had just gotten up and was about to wash up when suddenly, she heard Xiao Tao's voice from outside.
"Why is the Second Miss here?"
Immediately afterward, Rong Yiyi rushed in from outside, shouting angrily, "Rong Qingqing!"
Rong Qingqing glanced at her and said indifferently, "Is there something you need so early in the morning?"
Seeing her calm and fearless demeanor, Rong Yiyi sneered, took two steps forward, and suddenly raised her hand to slap her face.
Rong Qingqing had long suspected that the visitor was up to no good, so she was prepared.
As she raised her hand to strike, he turned his head to dodge, then picked up the tea from the table and splashed it in her face.
"puff!"
Rong Yiyi's hand missed its target, and instead, she was splashed with tea all over her face. She was completely stunned and couldn't react for a long time.
“I see you’re quite irritable. This tea is leftover from yesterday; it’s good for cooling you down and will also help you clear your head,” Rong Qingqing said leisurely, placing the empty cup on the table.
"Rong Qingqing, you are so despicable!" Rong Yiyi reacted, her throat felt sweet, and she almost spat out a mouthful of blood. She raised her sleeve to wipe the tea stains off her face, her tone vicious.
"People say, 'It is impolite not to reciprocate.' I was just returning your gift, how is that despicable?" Rong Qingqing noticed how agitated she was, it seemed that things had gone very smoothly last night.
Rong Shiqing caught the woman in the act and raped her on the spot; the scene must have been incredibly exciting and intense.
Unfortunately, Xie Jingrun took her away, and she didn't get to see this good show.
