Chapter 187 Truly reckless, even an iron tree can bloom.
That face remained as aloof as ever, with distinct features, handsome yet menacing.
It was Xiao Jingheng!
He was standing right next to Su Xiaoyu, leaning slightly forward. The distance between them was so close that she could even see the subtle light and shadow under his thick eyelashes.
Su Xiaoyu's almond-shaped eyes widened instantly, her mouth slightly open, but she couldn't make a sound for a moment.
A surge of heat seemed to rush to my eyes, and my nose couldn't help but sting.
Su Xiaoyu didn't know what was wrong with her.
Even though she was in so much pain when she risked her life to save the emperor, she didn't feel this.
But why is it that just seeing Xiao Jingheng's face now makes my eyes well up with tears?
"Shi...Sir..."
Her throat tightened, but she finally found her voice and instinctively got up, her movements somewhat flustered.
But she forgot that she was standing on the edge of the pavilion, with the shimmering pond behind her. In her haste, she tripped over a stone bench, lost her balance, cried out in surprise, and fell backward uncontrollably...
"ah……"
In the blink of an eye, my waist suddenly tightened!
A pair of strong, powerful hands, like iron clamps, firmly embraced her waist, pulling Su Xiaoyu forward with an irresistible force.
In a dizzying moment, Su Xiaoyu felt a refreshing aura envelop her, and the next second, she was solidly thrown into a warm and broad chest.
A muffled "bang" was heard.
Her nose bumped into the fabric of Xiao Jingheng's chest, causing a slight pain, but it was overwhelmed by the strong heartbeat emanating from his chest.
Su Xiaoyu buried her face in his chest, her nostrils filled with his aura, as domineering as a lone pine tree on a snowy mountain, which overwhelmed all her senses.
Bang, bang, bang...
Like a dense drumbeat, it struck her eardrums and vibrated her heartstrings.
In an instant, Su Xiaoyu's mind went blank, and all the blood in her body seemed to rush to her cheeks.
She froze in Xiao Jingheng's arms, not daring to move, her long eyelashes fluttering frantically like the wings of a startled butterfly.
"Shi, Shizi..."
"Don't move!" A husky voice came from above, tinged with tension.
"Let me hold you for a while..."
Su Xiaoyu's hand, which was pressed against his chest, was gently enveloped by his other large hand, almost completely trapping her in his embrace.
His chin rested on the top of Su Xiaoyu's head; their posture was intimate, almost like a deep affection.
Su Xiaoyu's hand, which had initially intended to push him away, slowly lowered and closed. Finally, as if drawn by some powerful force, it slowly, little by little relaxed, and obediently leaned into his embrace.
Her nose was filled with his breath, her ears were filled with his steady and powerful heartbeat, and her whole body was enveloped in his warm embrace and the cloak that was still warm from his body.
The winter chill seemed to be kept out.
...
On the other side, Xiao Lingxi crouched low, tiptoed, and parted the dense bushes with her hands, watching with great interest, clicking her tongue as she spoke:
"I never expected this! My brother usually seems like a block of ice, so serious, aloof, and distant. I thought he'd only ever deal with official documents! Tsk, I never expected him to be like this with Xiaoyu in private... like this..."
For a moment, she couldn't find the right words to describe it, only feeling that the two people embracing in the pavilion seemed to be enveloped in a layer of soft light.
Especially seeing her older brother's chin resting on Su Xiaoyu's head, with that possessive posture... tsk, it's unbearable to watch.
But I couldn't help but watch!
"Tsk! So reckless, no, so gentle. Even an iron tree blooming or a thousand-year-old iceberg melting couldn't be more beautiful than this, could it?"
Xiao Lingxi muttered to herself, her face full of excited smiles as she watched the drama unfold.
Is it pretty?
A gentle voice sounded from behind, carrying a hint of amusement.
Xiao Lingxi was engrossed in watching, her thoughts entirely focused on guessing the two's next move. Upon hearing this, she answered without hesitation:
"It's beautiful! Of course it's beautiful! Guess what, they're going to kiss next..."
She had only spoken halfway when she suddenly realized something was wrong!
That voice... isn't Zisu's!
Xiao Lingxi's hair stood on end instantly, her heart skipped a beat, and she almost jumped back in shock, turning her head sharply—
What came into view was a magnified handsome face, with deep eyes and a half-smile on his lips.
Who else could it be but Chu Yu?
At this moment, he was imitating Xiao Lingxi's posture, slightly bowing and leaning behind, seemingly wanting to peek at the 'excitement' through the gaps in the leaves.
But those beautiful peach blossom eyes were now focused intently on Xiao Lingxi.
Xiao Lingxi turned around so suddenly that she couldn't stop in time, especially since the two of them were already very close.
And so, her lips, unexpectedly, brushed against Chu Yu's chin.
"Sizzle..."
It was as if there was an extremely subtle electric current in the air, a unique sensation that instantly spread throughout their limbs and bones.
Chu Yu hadn't expected Xiao Lingxi to suddenly turn around. The woman's lips were warm and soft to the touch, carrying the unique fragrance of a young girl.
Both of them were stunned, as if time had been paused.
Xiao Lingxi's head buzzed, her eyes widening even more than when she looked at her older brother, her pupils clearly reflecting Chu Yu's face, which was so close. So close that she could see the extremely fine downy hairs on his porcelain-white skin.
My nasal cavity was filled with the elegant fragrance of ambergris.
"Gurgle!"
Xiao Lingxi swallowed hard, her cheeks turning bright red at a visible speed, and even her ears felt burning.
"Your Highness? What are you doing here..."
She quickly created some distance, wishing she could disappear into a crack in the ground.
Chu Yu had obviously heard the sound as well. The astonishment in his eyes gradually faded, and a deeper, more unfathomable emotion welled up in his eyes.
His gaze lingered for a moment on Xiao Lingxi's ears, which had instantly turned bright red, then he cleared his throat:
"Does Miss Xiao not understand the principle of 'do not look at what is improper'?"
Xiao Lingxi was incredibly embarrassed, and upon hearing this, she quickly laughed to cover it up: "Misunderstanding! It's all a misunderstanding! I was just passing by and didn't see anything, really! You don't believe me? Look..."
As if to prove she wasn't lying, she subconsciously looked towards the pavilion, and what she saw was quite a surprise!
Her aloof, dignified, and stern elder brother was lowering his head slightly to kiss Su Xiaoyu in his arms...
Xiao Lingxi's eyes widened again, like a pair of copper bells, and her mouth opened into an "O" shape. She even forgot to breathe.
Wow! A live demonstration! This guy really lives up to his name, he's already eating!
But at this critical moment, just as she was about to see the 'main feature', a pair of delicate, well-defined hands suddenly appeared in front of her, completely blocking Xiao Lingxi's view and shutting out the live broadcast in the pavilion!
"Hey! What are you doing!" Xiao Lingxi exclaimed anxiously, reaching out to pry the hand away. "You're about to see the crucial part!"
