Chapter 492: After being discovered, her face turned red with shame. When the gauze was removed, her heart was beating so fast that it almost jumped out of her chest.

With every step closer, her heartbeat quickened.

From childhood to adulthood, she had never done anything intimate with a man, not even holding hands.

She never knew that the love between men and women could be so intense that it would make people yearn for it.

What's more, I don't know that the feeling of liking someone is so sweet and sour that makes people unable to stop.

When she touched his soft lips, her face instantly turned red like a ripe apple.

The light kiss made Xu Qingqing's heart beat like a drum. She quickly stepped back, covering her hot cheeks. Thinking of the soft touch just now, her cheeks felt like they were burning.

She really kissed Jun Wuxian!!

Just when Xu Qingqing was shocked that she had kissed someone, the person in question slowly opened her eyes and saw Xu Qingqing covering her face in the light.

He noticed Xu Qingqing when she walked over just now, and thought it was Chu Zhao so he didn't take it seriously.

It was not until the man walked up to him that a faint fragrance told him that the person was not Chu Zhao.

Normally he would have been able to spot the footsteps, but because he was drunk his observation was impaired.

If I wasn't mistaken just now, did Xu Qingqing kiss me?

He remained seated and coughed softly, "Why are you here?"

Xu Qingqing's face was still red. When she suddenly heard Jun Wuxian's voice, she took a step back in fright and turned to look at Jun Wuxian who was sitting on the pillar and was looking at her. Her heart skipped a beat.

No way, the secret kiss was discovered?

It’s over, it’s over…

"Well, I couldn't sleep. It was dark and windy at night. I couldn't see the road clearly, so I ran to you. I saw you were sleeping, and I was afraid you would catch a cold. I wanted to wake you up, but I was afraid to scare you."

Xu Qingqing was talking incoherently and had no idea what she was saying.

Jun Wuxian raised his chin and looked at Xu Qingqing quietly. He knew that she was lying, but he did not expose her.

Xu Qingqing didn't know if Jun Wuxian had noticed that she had secretly kissed him. Seeing that he didn't say anything, she pursed her lips and asked, "Why are you sitting here and sleeping?"

Jun Wuxian said, "I drank a little more wine, so I feel more comfortable leaning against you."

Xu Qingqing had never seen him drink before, and tonight was the first time she saw him drink. They said that he drank to relieve his sorrow.

Could it be that you've been here for too long and want to leave but are too embarrassed to ask?

"Are you unhappy about something?"

Jun Wuxian did not answer but asked: "Why do you ask that?"

Xu Qingqing glanced at the bottle of wine in his hand. "Aren't you drinking? Men only drink when they are unhappy. I have never seen you drink before."

Jun Wuxian laughed softly upon hearing this, "You didn't see me when I was drinking."

Xu Qingqing seemed to have discovered something important. "So, you drink often? Are you often unhappy?"

Jun Wuxian smiled and shook his head, "Not really, drinking is just to relieve boredom and have fun."

Xu Qingqing secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She thought he was unhappy staying here.

"Aren't you going to sleep?"

Jun Wuxian put down his leg, stood up, and looked down at Xu Qingqing.

Xu Qingqing raised her head. Jun Wuxian was too tall, and she had to tilt her head back to see his face.

The lighting in the corridor was too dim and we couldn't see each other's expressions clearly.

After a long silence, a charming voice came from above.

"You just..."

Maybe it was because she felt guilty, but Xu Qingqing interrupted him hastily, "I was just swatting mosquitoes. There are a lot of mosquitoes in the summer."

Jun Wuxian couldn't help laughing out loud when he heard this.

"I'm serious. You should take a shower and have a rest. I'll go back first." Xu Qingqing retracted her gaze and trotted away. It would be better to say that she escaped rather than left.

She was afraid that Jun Wuxian would know that she had secretly kissed him.

Jun Wuxian stood in the corridor, watching the petite figure hurriedly leave in the moonlight.

"There is no silver here."

Xu Qingqing ran all the way back to her room and sat in front of the dressing table. She looked at the face in the bronze mirror. There were two obvious scars on the face, and she could still feel the unevenness when she touched it.

Who would like such an ugly face?

Her life was ruined by that beast.

But that beast had already been killed by Jun Wuxian. Not only was he killed, he was also disfigured and mutilated.

No matter how much you vent your anger, your face won't return to its original state.

If Jun Wuxian knew that I kissed him secretly, would he feel disgusted?

Xu Qingqing covered her face and ran to the bed. She was too impulsive just now. What if Jun Wuxian was not asleep at that time? Wouldn’t it be awkward when they met tomorrow?

The more Xu Qingqing thought about it, the more she couldn't sleep.

The next day, Xu Qingqing walked out of the guest room with dark circles under her eyes.

On the way to dinner, she met Jun Wuxian. She stopped in her tracks with a guilty conscience. It was a dark and windy night last night. The artists were very brave and it was pitch dark so she couldn't see anything.

It's broad daylight now, and it's hard to hide my guilty expression.

Caixia didn't know what happened last night. Seeing Jun Wuxian, she happily reminded him, "Miss, look, it's Master Jun."

It was too late when Xu Qingqing wanted to stop him. Jun Wuxian's eyes were looking over here, so she could only bite the bullet and face him.

"Good morning." She was somewhat glad that she was wearing a veil, which could somewhat hide her guilty mood.

Jun Wuxian noticed the dark circles under her eyes at a glance, "Did you not sleep well last night?"

Xu Qingqing said guiltily: "It was too hot last night, I couldn't sleep."

Jun Wuxian nodded thoughtfully, "It was indeed a bit hotter last night, and there seemed to be mosquitoes."

It would have been fine if mosquitoes were not mentioned. As soon as mosquitoes were mentioned, Xu Qingqing's face turned red, and she lowered her eyes and nodded perfunctorily.

Jun Wuxian lowered his eyes and looked at Xu Qingqing with a guilty look on his face.

When they arrived at the dining table, the whole family sat around it and had breakfast together.

Jun Wuxian is Xu Qingqing's savior. The Xu family treats him as a distinguished guest and is very generous with his food and drinks.

When Xu Qingqing eats, she needs to lift her veil with her hands.

General Xu and his wife advised her several times that she didn't need to wear a veil at home, but Xu Qingqing just wanted to wear it. She didn't want others to see her face, and she didn't want Jun Wuxian to see it.

As long as he didn't see her, the impression she left on him was that of her before her disfigurement.

Jun Wuxian raised his head and glanced at Xu Qingqing, "I heard that the water lilies in the garden have bloomed."

Upon hearing this, the general's wife immediately smiled and replied, "Master Jun, the water lilies bloomed last night." Then she turned to her daughter and said, "Qing'er, take Master Jun to have a look after breakfast."

General Xu also nodded, "Madam is right, Young Master Jun is your friend and savior, it would be most appropriate for you to take Young Master Jun with you."

Xu Qingqing kept complaining. She felt very guilty and didn't want to be alone with Jun Wuxian. But when she saw her father and mother's expectant eyes, why did she feel a little strange?

Xu Changfeng couldn't help but said, "Mother, this isn't a good idea. My sister is still a young girl..."

The general's wife glared at her son and said, "What do you know, kid? Just eat your meal."

"…But mother, this is the most basic etiquette…"

General Xu glared at him: "Let's practice sword fighting after dinner."

Xu Changfeng tightened his neck, not daring to fart, and lowered his head to eat his meal.

General Xu and his wife both thought Jun Wuxian was a good guy, so they wanted to marry their daughter to him, which is why they were so active in bringing them together.

After breakfast, Xu Qingqing accompanied Jun Wuxian to the lotus pond to admire the water lilies at the behest of her parents. She had watched those water lilies bloom countless times, and it was almost the same every year.

There is a hexagonal pavilion next to the lotus pond, which is perfect for flower viewing.

The maids had already prepared tea and snacks.

Xu Qingqing sat opposite Jun Wuxian. She was too guilty about kissing him secretly last night and didn't dare to look him in the eye. She simply looked at the water lilies in the lotus pond. They were the size of a bowl, with purple petals and were very beautiful.

Jun Wuxian drank his tea leisurely, admiring the pool of water lilies. He glanced at Xu Qingqing and saw that she was a little absent-minded.

"After the fifteenth, I will leave."

When Xu Qingqing suddenly heard that he was leaving, she was stunned and didn't react for a long time.

She knew that Jun Wuxian would leave sooner or later, but when she really heard him say that he was leaving, she still felt reluctant.

"You're leaving so soon? What a pity! I won't be able to catch the Qiqiao Festival."

Jun Wuxian laughed when he heard this, "The Qiqiao Festival is still about fifty days away."

"Ah?" Xu Qingqing was stunned for a moment. After thinking carefully, she realized that she had miscalculated the time. She was extremely embarrassed.

"I miscalculated the time."

Jun Wuxian chuckled, "Can you play the piano?"

Xu Qingqing shook her head when she heard this, "No."

Jun Wuxian asked again: "Then what can you do?"

Xu Qingqing told the truth: "I don't know how to do anything."

Jun Wuxian was stunned when he heard this, and was amused by her honesty.

Xu Qingqing felt that Jun Wuxian was definitely making fun of her, "What are you laughing at? Isn't it said that a woman's virtue lies in her lack of talent?"

The smile in Jun Wuxian's eyes deepened: "You are right."

Xu Qingqing suddenly said proudly: "I can do needlework."

Jun Wuxian was a little surprised, "I didn't realize you can do needlework."

"Every girl can do needlework. If others can do it, then naturally I can do it too." Xu Qingqing has learned needlework for a few days, but has never embroidered anything seriously. Now she plans to embroider a purse.

On the day Jun Wuxian left, Xu Qingqing stood under the porch and watched him sitting on a tall horse. He was wearing a moon-white brocade robe with dark gold patterns and wide sleeves. He had long ink-black hair and looked very handsome.

Seeing him about to ride away, Xu Qingqing couldn't help but take a few steps forward with her skirt lifted, looking up at the man on the horse: "When will we meet next time?"

Jun Wuxian lowered his eyes and looked at Xu Qingqing. The veil on her cheek fluttered in the wind, revealing only a pair of sparkling almond eyes. He smiled and said, "Guess."

Xu Qingqing shook her head. "I can't guess."

Jun Wuxian smiled slightly, "During the Qiqiao Festival in our place, boys and girls will give gifts to express their love."

Xu Qingqing was stunned for a moment when she heard this. When she came to her senses, she saw Jun Wuxian raising his whip and riding away.

This is the Hmong Imperial City

Shen Chuwei was looking forward to the arrival of night the whole day. She treated Ouyang Jingyuan with acupuncture and took medicinal baths during the day, and finally made it to night.

The appointment time was late at night because the man didn't want others to know.

When it was late at night and everyone was asleep, Shen Chuwei took the medicine box and sneaked to the courtyard opposite.

Xuetuan followed all the way.

Qin Xiao consciously hid in the dark and watched.

Shen Chuwei pushed the door open and walked in, carrying the medicine box on her back. She closed the door only after Xuetuan came in.

She turned her head and looked into the room, seeing a man sitting at the table with a calm demeanor, as if he had been waiting for a long time.

She placed the medicine box on the table, then walked up to the man and said expectantly, "I came as agreed. You didn't regret it, did you?"

It's no wonder she asked that. She came here last night with great expectations, but he turned against her.

The man shook his head. “No.”

"That's good." Shen Chuwei stared at the gauze on his eyes and said, "Do you want to do it yourself, or should I do it?"

Man: “I’ll do it.”

When the man's hand reached behind his head, Shen Chuwei couldn't help but hold her breath, and watched with great anticipation as the man untied the gauze, opening it layer by layer.
