Chapter 15
Even though Luo Qingli had seen this kind of scenery several times, he was still shocked.
Under the bright moonlight, the two were surrounded by a sea of flowers. There was no noisy sound in their ears, only the croaking of frogs and the chirping of insects.
Luo Qingli felt that her whole being had been sublimated. She looked at the sea of flowers in front of her, carefully sniffing the floral fragrance in the air. Various inspiration formulas intertwined in her mind, and she couldn't wait to concoct a bottle of perfume that could hold the fragrance of the entire sea of flowers.
After a long time, Luo Qingli finally took out his mobile phone and wrote down the inspiration in his mind on the memo.
After writing down all the recipes, she breathed a sigh of relief and put away her phone.
Ji Jinsi, who was sitting next to him, hadn't said a word. In the moonlight, Luo Qingli could see that he was looking at the sea of flowers in front of him, but he couldn't make out his subtle expression.
However, Ji Jinsi's expression never changes much. Even if it is broad daylight now, he probably won't see the expression he wants.
"How is it? Doesn't it look good?" Luo Qingli asked with some pride.
"Yeah, it's beautiful."
"Then you should thank me. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't be able to see such a beautiful view."
"I should thank you indeed."
After another moment of silence, Ji Jinsi asked, "Do you still have the same answer to the question I asked you this afternoon?"
Luo Qingli subconsciously looked at Ji Jinsi, and saw that Ji Jinsi was also looking at him.
She seemed to see unprecedented seriousness in Ji Jinsi's expression.
Could it be that Ji Jinsi was serious about what he said?
Luo Qingli asked calmly, "Why me? There are so many women with better family backgrounds than me, like Zhao Yanran. Aren't you going to be engaged to her? Why are you still asking me this question?"
"I have never thought about getting engaged to Zhao Yanran." Ji Jinsi answered decisively.
Ji Jinsi never lies, Luo Qingli knows it very well, and she never expected this to be the answer.
Was all her sadness and pain before that just self-inflicted?
"If you care about this, I can tell you that I have nothing to do with Zhao Yanran." Ji Jinsi said affirmatively.
Luo Qingli's heart was in a mess. She didn't expect it to be like this.
"Qingli, you are the most suitable candidate for my wife. As long as you agree, you can be the pampered Madam Ji."
After hearing Ji Jinsi's words, Luo Qingli's originally confused heart suddenly became clear.
Suitable? Pampered? It turned out that Ji Jinsi really had no love for her, it was all because of the suitability.
But Luo Qingli didn't care.
"But I don't think I'm the right person." Luo Qingli said, "I'm tired of my previous life. It was like being trapped in an invisible shackle. I'm very happy now, and I don't want to go back to my previous life."
After hearing Luo Qingli's words, Ji Jinsi's eyes showed a hint of confusion.
"Ji Jinsi, you have your pursuits, and I have mine. I have my career, and I have my passion. I don't want to be just a vase, a pretty vase."
Besides, you don’t love me, Luo Qingli said softly in his heart.
She admitted that she once loved Ji Jinsi, but now, she wanted to love herself more.
Ji Jinsi looked at Luo Qingli and admitted that Luo Qingli was very different now, both in appearance and personality. He didn't know whether this change was good or bad.
Neither of them spoke again.
Until the moon moved to the other side of the valley, the warmly blooming flowers closed their petals, and Luo Qingli lit the lamp.
"I'm going to sleep." Luo Qingli unzipped the tent.
She went in with the lamp in hand, and just as she was about to turn around to zip up, she saw Ji Jinsi also enter the tent.
"What are you doing? I didn't say I would give you the tent." Luo Qingli glared at Ji Jinsi.
Ji Jinsi squeezed in and zipped up the tent.
"You brought me to this desolate place. Do you have the heart to leave me alone to sleep in the wilderness and feed mosquitoes?" Ji Jinsi said calmly.
If she were to be honest, Luo Qingli was indeed reluctant to let him go, but that was because she was kind, not because she liked Ji Jinsi.
Yes, that's it.
Luo Qingli took a deep breath and tried to convince himself.
"Aren't you sleepy? Then go to sleep."
After Ji Jinsi finished speaking, he lay down and put his hands behind his head, still very elegant.
Luo Qingli wondered why she hadn't noticed before that Ji Jinsi could be quite shameless sometimes?
Ji Jinsi opened his eyes and saw Luo Qingli still sitting there with the lamp in hand, so he sat up, curled his lips and said, "It's not like we haven't slept together before. If you really mind, then I'll leave."
Ji Jinsi's eyes were shrouded in shadows, but Luo Qingli seemed to be able to see his meaningful look.
Luo Qingli stiffened his neck and said, "Tsk, who's afraid of you? I allowed you in because I'm kind. Don't overthink it."
After saying that, Luo Qingli turned off the lights and lay down with his back to Ji Jinsi.
The tent was just a thin layer of cloth, and even with a cushion, it was still hard to lie on, which Luo Qingli was not used to.
Fortunately, she also brought a small pillow to prevent her head from suffering.
However, Ji Jinsi next to him was not feeling well.
As the young master of the Ji family, when had he ever slept on such a "bed"? It was as if his head was resting directly on a stone, making it impossible for him to fall asleep.
Luo Qingli closed his eyes, slowed his breathing, and tried to ignore the living person behind him. Suddenly, he felt Ji Jinsi approaching.
Luo Qingli turned around abruptly and retreated to the edge of the tent. He placed his hands on his chest as if on guard, looked at Ji Jinsi warily and asked, "What are you going to do?"
"It's too hard. I want to use your pillow." Ji Jinsi's tone seemed to carry a hint of grievance.
Luo Qingli felt like she was going crazy. How could she hear such grievances from Ji Jinsi's mouth?
"Your pillow can barely accommodate two people. I'm sure the kindhearted Miss Luo won't refuse my request."
Ji Jinsi's words blocked Luo Qingli's refusal that was about to come out.
She just said that she was kind. If she refused now, wouldn't that be equivalent to refuting her own words?
Unfortunately, Luo Qingli didn't realize at this moment that Ji Jinsi was getting too aggressive. Being in such a small space with Ji Jinsi, her head was about to turn into a mess.
"Okay, okay, I'll give you a pillow." Luo Qingli stammered, put the pillow in the middle, and lay in a corner with his back to Ji Jinsi.
She closed her eyes, and in the darkness, she could clearly feel Ji Jinsi approaching, their heads almost touching.
In this scene, Luo Qingli's mind unconsciously thought of the past when she and Ji Jinsi slept together, and they also lay so close...
Stop, stop, stop, Luo Qingli, stop it now, don’t think about these nonsense!
Luo Qingli quickly stopped recalling and began to count sheep in his head.
However, the warmth and breath of the person behind him continued to come, and Luo Qingli could not ignore it no matter what.
Am I going to have a sleepless night? Luo Qingli thought sadly.
I don’t know how much time had passed, but Luo Qingli began to feel sore all over because he kept sleeping on his side.
She felt the breathing of the person behind her become steady, and thought to herself, Ji Jinsi must have fallen asleep.
Thinking of this, she quietly turned over and lay down flat with the lightest movements.
It’s a pity that this was originally a single-person tent, and now after a tall and strong man like Ji Jinsi was squeezed in, it seemed a bit cramped.
No matter how careful she was, she still accidentally rubbed Ji Jinsi's leg.
Luo Qingli froze immediately. Damn it, wouldn’t this wake up Ji Jinsi?
Thinking of this, Luo Qingli turned his head to see if Ji Jinsi had any reaction.
Unexpectedly, with the faint moonlight, she suddenly bumped into Ji Jinsi's deep eyes.
"You haven't..."
A passionate kiss blocked the words Luo Qingli wanted to say in his throat.
Ji Jinsi's kiss was so hot that it made Luo Qingli's mind go blank.
Even though she was still confused, her body had already instinctively responded to his kiss.
It’s like someone who once lost their memory suddenly regained it, their body indulging in a familiar yet unfamiliar joy, bringing a tremor from deep within their soul.
Ji Jinsi placed his hand behind her head, blocking her escape route. The friction between their lips and teeth was like a storm rising from a calm sea.
Luo Qingli could hardly breathe.
As the kiss deepened, Ji Jinsi's hand, which was originally placed behind her head, moved down and stroked her back, giving her a deep shudder.
The air around seemed to be burning.
Luo Qingli's sanity gradually returned. She knew that she could not go on any longer. If she continued, she couldn't imagine what would happen.
Thinking of this, Luo Qingli exerted force with his hands, which were originally curled up in front of his chest, and pushed Ji Jinsi away.
"Ji Jinsi, you're going too far!" Luo Qingli shouted.
She was somewhat glad that it was night time, otherwise she would be afraid of being seen by Ji Jinsi and getting addicted to it.
Luo Qingli, you must not be shaken by a kiss!
"Sorry, I just couldn't help myself."
Ji Jinsi admitted that he was indeed Meng Lang.
Because of the restlessness caused by the uncomfortable sleep and Luo Qingli's actions, he couldn't control himself.
But he had to admit that he really missed kissing Luo Qingli.
He thought that he had never been a lustful person, and that he had done it with Luo Qingli occasionally, but now it seemed that he had overturned his own perception.
He really enjoyed the feeling of kissing Luo Qingli.
"Sorry, I'd better go out." Ji Jinsi sat up and was about to unzip the tent.
"Forget it, let's just pretend that this never happened." Luo Qingli gritted his teeth and pretended that he had been kissed by a dog.
Anyway, she didn't suffer any loss from the kiss just now. After all, Ji Jinsi is a handsome guy.
After Luo Qingli finished speaking, he lay down again.
Seeing that Luo Qingli didn't seem to be speaking in anger, Ji Jinsi hesitated for a while, and finally lay down next to Luo Qingli. This time, he stayed a little further away from Luo Qingli.
The air seemed to still be burning hot. Luo Qingli took a deep breath to calm his thundering heartbeat.
After this incident, the inexplicable tension suddenly disappeared, and she felt sleepy and fell asleep.
