As soon as he loosened his clenched fist, he was surprised to see that the purple jade, which he had been holding tightly, was embedded in Yue Jiang's wrist, leaving a small red square mark.
Jing Yan still remembers the first time she met Yue Jiang. She tearfully offered her wrists, crying out in pain. She has always been afraid of pain, and that hasn't changed at all.
"You went to the hot spring, why are you still wearing it? Aren't you afraid of falling into the water and not being able to get out?" Jing Yan brushed away the purple jade attached to Yue Jiang's wrist and touched the knot.
Yue Jiang pulled her wrist back and reminded him, "Your Highness, the purple jade can conceal my body fragrance, so you cannot remove it lightly."
Jing Yan continued working, untying the knots one by one, and finally took the purple jade out and examined it closely.
It's amazing that it remained cool and refreshing even after being submerged in water for so long.
Jing Yan: "It's fine in front of outsiders, but we're husband and wife. Does Jiang'er still have to be wary of me?"
Yue Jiang found Jing Yan's words strange. Considering that he had gone to see Jing Shuo today, she wondered if Jing Shuo might give up and do something to drag her down with him.
She leaned against the pool wall, looked Jing Yan over a couple more times, and asked tentatively, "Your Highness, you saw my second brother today. He was so badly injured. Did he take his anger out on you?"
Jing Yan didn't take it to heart: "He wasn't harmed by me, so what reason is there to be angry? Jiang'er is worrying too much."
He paused for a moment, then looked down at Yue Jiang and assured her, "Don't worry, I warned him about his offense, and he won't dare to make things difficult for you in the future."
Jing Yan handled things perfectly, and Yue Jiang could be completely at ease, but she still felt that something was off; she couldn't leave the Purple Marrow Jade for too long.
After a moment of silence, Yue Jiang asked Jing Yan for the purple jade again. Knowing that Jing Yan was easily teased, she deliberately scooped up a handful of warm water and poured it on him, speaking in a coquettish tone.
"Your Highness, are you going to soak in the hot spring with me or not? If you're not coming down, then give me the Purple Jade. Otherwise, if you feel unwell, I won't be responsible."
When the hot spring water splashed onto his body, Jing Yan's face was also covered with many water droplets. The warm water immediately seeped into his skin, leaving patches of slightly hot stains.
Just then, a drop of water rolled down his long eyelashes. Jing Yan subconsciously closed his eyes, letting the droplet slide down in front of him.
After a long silence, his voice was filled with helplessness: "Jiang'er, you're being silly again. Do you think I'm just a shallow person who only cares about looks?"
Jing Yan put down the purple jade, stood up, straightened his robes, and turned to leave, saying, "I'll go back and wait for you. Come out quickly!"
"Your Highness, how can you be so clueless about romance?" Yue Jiang was extremely annoyed; Jing Yan was truly impervious to reason.
Jing Yan did not respond. In fact, although he could no longer smell Yue Jiang's fragrance, he wanted to get close to her without any restraint, but it was better to go back to his room.
Before he lost his senses, Jing Yan wanted to get out of there as soon as possible.
Just as he took a step, a loud thud sounded behind him. He reflexively turned around and looked into the water, but he couldn't see Yue Jiang at all.
"Jiang'er!" In his anxiety, Jing Yan disregarded everything else and jumped into the hot spring water.
The hot spring was steaming, and the surface was covered with flower petals. Jing Yan searched aimlessly in the water for a long time, but could not find him.
Just as he was about to hold his breath and dive into the water, someone suddenly wrapped their arms around his waist from behind, pressed tightly against his body, and laughed in their voice.
"Your Highness, you've finally decided to come down."
Only after hearing Yue Jiang's voice, indicating that she was safe and sound, did Jing Yan's shocked heart slowly calm down. He turned around with a hint of anger.
"Jiang'er, you're too reckless! What if you really drown?"
Yue Jiang went underwater once, and her long hair, which had been half-tied up, had completely fallen down, and the hairpin was nowhere to be found.
Her black hair floated on the water's surface, and her beautiful face was covered in water stains, making it impossible to tell whether they were tears or water droplets.
"Your Highness insists on leaving. Did you not consider that I would accidentally drown after you left? Since Your Highness is so afraid of touching me, I will leave."
Yue Jiang stubbornly released Jing Yan's waist and turned to leave, saying, "From now on, I will also learn to hide whenever I see Your Highness."
Just as she was about to leave, Jing Yan suddenly wrapped his arm around Yue Jiang's waist and stopped her.
Yue Jiang glanced down at Jing Yan's arm; the wide, dark sleeves with gold thread hung in the water, rippling with the surging waves. She pretended to resist.
"Your Highness, I need to avoid you, please let go."
Jing Yan sighed inwardly. Not only did he not loosen his grip at all, he tightened his hold on Yue Jiang until he had completely won her over, making her inseparable from him.
Jing Yan whispered in Yue Jiang's ear, his voice low and annoyed, "Jiang'er, I originally wanted to treat you gently, but you always shake my will."
Yue Jiang: "I'm not yet..."
Jing Yan spoke to her in such a way that she felt very insecure and wanted to continue telling her grievances.
Yue Jiang suddenly realized she could move again, but when she turned around, she saw that Jing Yan had already taken off his outer clothes, inner clothes, and so on.
He tossed all his clothes into the hot spring pool.
Jing Yan's upper body was exposed in front of us, his chest flushed red from being soaked in the hot spring water, and water droplets kept sliding down his strong chest, eventually merging with the hot spring water.
Jing Yan's dark eyes grew even more obscure, filled with undisguised desire.
Yue Jiang felt a little scared and involuntarily took a step back. But the next moment, Jing Yan's large hand reached out to her, instantly supporting the back of Yue Jiang's head, and then his lips and teeth covered hers.
Caught off guard, Yue Jiang had no time to say anything and could only follow Jing Yan's movements.
After three or four breaths, Jing Yan moved away slightly, allowing Yue Jiang to catch her breath. However, he did not stop there. Instead, he carried Yue Jiang to the edge of the pool and pressed her against it.
Yue Jiang can control her body freely in the water, but after Jing Yan comes down, any movement he makes can stir up turbulent waves.
Besides leaning against the pool wall behind her and holding onto Jing Yan in front of her, Yue Jiang had nothing else to support her.
Jing Yan's gaze was intense, the heat in his eyes even greater than that of a hot spring. He punished Yue Jiang by kneading her already swollen and burning red lips, breathing heavily as he spoke earnestly.
"Jiang'er, you can tease me, but don't gamble with your own safety."
"I am human, and it is impossible for me to remain calm and rational at all times. I also feel fear, panic, and anger."
"Your Highness, I was wrong," Yue Jiang said, noticing the bloodshot eyes in Jing Yan's eyes, which seemed genuine. She realized he was serious and felt a pang of guilt for some reason.
She grabbed Jingyan's arm, turned to look at the pool, and suppressed her playful mood: "Let's go up."
Yue Jiang turned around and groped for the ladder, but Jing Yan held her tightly. Before she could turn around completely, she was pressed down again.
As Jing Yan drew closer and closer, the pool water rippled, and Yue Jiang felt her body bobbing up and down without any support.
Her feet had somehow floated up, her legs appearing and disappearing on the water's surface.
