The next day, at 10 a.m., Stargazing Garden was already bathed in warm sunlight, which made the boundless forest appear even more lush and verdant.
It showed no signs of decay or desolation with the arrival of autumn; on the contrary, it possessed a serene and vigorous beauty.
Meanwhile, in the master bedroom, the curtains by the window were still tightly drawn, preventing the bright sunlight from penetrating and making the entire room quiet and dim.
There was also a hint of ambiguous tenderness and affection...
Yan Jingzhou lowered his dark eyes and quietly looked at the girl who was still sleeping soundly in his arms.
His dark eyes were filled with a tenderness and doting affection as bright as starlight, and a deep love.
As he stared at her, the man couldn't help but lower his head and gently kiss the girl's smooth forehead. His handsome features were filled with tenderness.
Hidden in his eyes was a captivating emotion that even Yan Jingzhou himself was unaware of.
The girl frowned slightly, huffed in dissatisfaction, and pushed away the man's face that was preventing her from sleeping properly with her soft little hand.
She smacked her lips a few times, and her breathing gradually became steady again.
Overnight, the girl seemed to have undergone a miraculous transformation. The youthful innocence on her pretty face gradually gave way to a touch of coquettish charm, especially around her slightly reddened eyes, where dried tear tracks added a touch of alluring allure...
Yet, her youthful innocence and naivety remained strong, and this combination created a unique kind of beauty.
Lazy yet beautiful, alluring yet youthful, elegant yet seductive...
Breathtakingly beautiful...
Yan Jingzhou stared intently, his breathing becoming heavier, yet... a deep and serene stillness, like the stillness of a dark night, gradually welled up in his eyes.
Everything happened so suddenly and unexpectedly...
Will she be angry when she wakes up?
Will I... leave this place because of this?
Given her stubborn and obstinate nature...
How could someone become so obedient just because they had such a relationship...?
If it's something she's fundamentally unwilling to do, she might not yield even with a knife to her throat!
Yan Jingzhou held the girl in his arms tighter, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes!
Jiaojiao has always been someone who responds better to gentle persuasion than force...
The gift he prepared for her should be enough to appease her... right?
The sheet suddenly slipped down to reveal the girl's delicate, slender shoulders.
The man pursed his thin lips and reached out to pull the sheet up.
As soon as he turned his gaze, he saw the girl open her eyes, looking up at him with a dazed and sleepy expression. Her beautifully shaped collarbone was clearly visible as her hair slipped down.
Yan Jingzhou's body tensed for a moment...
Gong Ning had just woken up, her mind still in a confused state, and she hadn't yet remembered everything that happened after her argument with Yan Jingzhou last night.
The first thing she saw when she opened her eyes was Yan Jingzhou. She instinctively smiled and wrapped her arms around his slender waist, "A-Zhou~~~"
As soon as she opened her mouth, Gong Ning realized that her voice was hoarse beyond recognition, "My throat..."
Suddenly, my mind began to flash with all sorts of chaotic yet beautiful images...
The girl froze instantly.
She looked up abruptly, staring in disbelief at Yan Jingzhou, at the dried bloodstains on his chest and arms, and several clear teeth marks...
Gong Ning was stunned. She wasn't born in the Year of the Dog, so it definitely wasn't her who bit her!
She abruptly released her grip on Yan Jingzhou's waist and instinctively stepped back...
Unexpectedly, a sharp pain brought her to a complete halt...
Her misty eyes were filled with immense shock and... utter bewilderment in the face of this situation.
Good heavens, what did she do last night?
Her breath came in a hurried, erratic pattern, and she abruptly pulled the sheet over herself.
She wrapped herself up tightly, like a silkworm.
Unexpectedly, this action revealed the man's strong and muscular physique to her in its entirety...
Gong Ning: "..."
She screamed and slammed her head into the pillow, refusing to look at him.
Yan Jingzhou's eyes narrowed slightly. "Jiaojiao, you..."
"Get out, get out! I... I don't want to see you right now, ouch—" The girl's reaction was a bit too extreme, her whole body aching from the pulling, and her voice dropped several octaves, a soft, hoarse tone that softened anyone's heart. "Get out, get out..."
Yan Jingzhou clenched his hands, a few deep and complex emotions flashing in his eyes. In the end, he said nothing, silently dressed, opened the door and went out.
Only a soft "click" sound of the door closing remained.
A moment of silence fell over the room. The girl, who was curled up in a ball on the bed, gently stirred a few times, raised her messy little head, and blushed like flames on her beautiful face...
His face was filled with utter despair...
That's insane, absolutely insane! How could anyone do something like that? My goodness!
Gong Ning remained silent for a few moments, then suddenly clenched her fists and gritted her teeth as she spoke, "Ah Lin, you get out here right now!"
"Ah Lin?"
"..."
Gong Ning's voice turned sinister, "Lin Yu!"
Suddenly, a shimmering jade ball rolled out from between Gong Ning's eyebrows. Before Gong Ning could speak, it rolled far away in an instant, until it felt safe enough, and then it slipped and stopped.
A cautious voice rang out, "Your Highness, what's wrong? Are you alright? Hehe!"
"Come here!" Gong Ning, clutching the blanket, painfully sat up and nodded to it in a low voice.
A-Lin shivered, a chill suddenly running down his spine, and he straightened up instantly.
A few wary glints flashed in her large, eerie green eyes. "Your Highness, please speak freely. I can hear you standing here..."
Ah Lin poked his tender green little finger, staring at her longingly.
Gong Ning narrowed her eyes. "Do I have to say it again?"
A-Lin felt a chill run down his spine and hurriedly flew to her side, smiling ingratiatingly. "Your Highness, what's wrong? You… Ouch! Ouch! Your Highness, it hurts, be gentle, ouch!"
After Gong Ning pinched A Lin's ears until they were big, her anger subsided considerably. "A Lin, I've never seen such an unreliable person like you. What was with that medicine last night?"
Ah Lin sat on the pillow with her head drooping, rubbing her ears. "Your Highness, you're a girl, don't hit so hard! It hurts..."
"You still have the energy to complain? Was I too lenient with you just now?"
A-Lin stared in disbelief and quickly sat up straight.
The round, green head shook like a rattle-drum. "No, A-Lin isn't in pain. Your Highness is the gentlest, most virtuous, most adorable, most beautiful, most obedient, and most quiet girl in the world. A-Lin loves Your Highness the most!"
"Bang--"
Gong Ning suddenly slapped it.
A-Lin: [? ? ?]
