The man stood backlit, his body enveloped in a blanket of silver frost. A slight curve at the corner of his lips added a touch of gentle softness to his exquisite face.
When his eyes, which seemed to hold the entire starry sky, fell upon her, Mo Shisheng suddenly felt as if only the two of them remained in the world.
The surroundings were unbelievably quiet.
When he saw Mo Shisheng finally come out, she was standing at the door staring at him in a daze. Ming Beiya's wicked eyes were filled with doting affection as he walked towards the direction where Mo Shisheng was standing.
It was only two steps, but it felt like a century had passed for Ming Beiya. His steps were steady and formal, as if he were performing a major ceremony.
Because of Ming Beiya's actions, Mo Shisheng's breathing became heavier. When Ming Beiya stood in front of her, she stared blankly at his beautiful face, lost in thought.
They were far apart just now, but now that they were close, Ming Beiya could see that the red mark under Mo Shisheng's left eye had become even redder. He gently placed his dry, warm hand on Mo Shisheng's slightly cool face and stroked it carefully.
"Your beauty mark under your eye is even redder."
Mo Shisheng felt as if she had been electrocuted. She instinctively tried to jump away, but the man's long arm reached out and stopped her slender waist, preventing her from moving an inch.
"Mingbei Fang!"
"Um"
A deep, cool male voice rang out above her head, and Mo Shisheng's heart began to race again, pathetically. She bit her lower lip slightly, "You... uh..."
Seeing Mo Shisheng's actions, Ming Beiya's hand, which was pressed against her face, slid down to her delicate chin, and with only a slight force, he freed her bitten lower lip.
He leaned down and gave her a light peck on her soft red lips before quickly pulling away. At the same time, Ming Beiya released Mo Shisheng's delicate body and instead took her hand, saying, "Let's go eat."
"..."
Mo Shisheng pouted in dissatisfaction, and when she realized it, she was incredulous that she would make such a childish gesture!
Then Mo Shisheng quickly stopped her movements, her gaze unconsciously drifting to Ming Beiya, who was holding her hand. Realizing that the man hadn't noticed her childish actions, she breathed a slight sigh of relief...
"Your heart is beating very fast."
The sudden sound beside her ear startled Mo Shisheng slightly. Her face flushed slightly, and she glared at Ming Beiya with annoyance, "Why are you listening to my heartbeat for no reason?"
"It was so loud that I couldn't help but notice it."
Ming Beiya spoke with conviction, but her tone was soft, carrying a hint of barely perceptible grievance!
Wronged
This man will feel wronged.
Mo Shisheng felt like she was going crazy. How could she feel that Ming Beiya was being wronged! She was the one who had just been kissed and taken advantage of! If anyone should be wronged, it should be her!
When the two entered the kitchen of the Bamboo Garden, Jiang Ge, Jiang Yao, Zhu Que, and two unfamiliar men were inside. Presumably, these two were the cooks from the Imperial Preceptor's residence.
Mo Shisheng was pulled to sit in the main seat by Ming Beiya, and Mo Shisheng suddenly discovered that there was a set of luxurious table and chairs in her kitchen!
These were several levels above the tables and chairs in the front courtyard of the Shangguan Mansion; Mo Shisheng was a discerning person. She quickly pulled her hand out of Ming Beiya's grasp, gently touched the smooth tabletop in front of her, and then slightly bent her fingers to tap lightly. When a crisp sound came, a hint of surprise appeared in her peach blossom eyes.
