Yanling felt a tender sensation, as if she were being held in the palm of someone's hand.
This was something he had never experienced elsewhere, except for his father's love—a feeling that made every pore of his body joyful, yet also a little bittersweet.
He couldn't help but lower his head, wanting to cover her sweet little mouth with his kiss, kissing her until she couldn't breathe.
But with so many people around, even if Chu Yuan was bold, she couldn't ignore the bustling traffic around her.
He reached out and stopped Yan Ling's lips from pressing down, "Not here."
"Hmm..." Yan Ling felt wronged, his gaze wandering. He couldn't go out on the street, could he? Where could he go?
He found it very quickly.
Isn't a horse-drawn carriage a perfect place?
He climbed up first, then reached out to Chu Yuan.
Chu Yuan's face turned red, and it wasn't hard to guess what he meant.
I couldn't help but yell at him, "Don't even think about it!"
Yan Ling grinned. The young man had red lips and white teeth, and today he was dressed in a bright and dignified sky-blue robe. He looked so handsome and rugged that it was hard to look away.
So, almost as if possessed, Chu Yuan placed her hand in his palm...
The next instant, Yan Ling pulled hard, and by the time Chu Yuan reacted, the two of them were already inside the carriage.
She even straddled his lap in a bold pose, their breaths almost touching.
Yan Ling said, "A Yue, I used to think that I looked forward to my coming-of-age ceremony because after that day, it would mean that I was an adult and could do whatever I wanted."
They even made other wrong requests.
But only now do I realize that I want you, and this day means I can accept any consequences of having you…
He finished speaking and fiercely sealed her lips with his.
They gave Chu Yuan no chance to catch her breath.
The kiss was very long, but Yan Ling did not go too far, and did not even mess up her makeup or clothes.
Respect is also a form of love.
After Yan Ling alighted from the carriage and strode away, Chu Yuan lifted the curtain. Qing Ye, who was outside, glanced at her and chuckled, "Miss, there's lip rouge in the sandalwood box under the couch. You should touch it up quickly."
Chu Yuan quickly pulled down the curtain, cursing Qing Ye inwardly for getting bolder and bolder!
After touching up her makeup, Chu Yuan arrived at the perfect time, neither too early nor too late.
When she entered the flower hall, she saw that Shen Jie, Shen Zhiyi, Jiang Xuening, Jiang Xuehui and others had already arrived.
Xie Wei was nowhere to be seen. He was Zan Guan, so it was normal for him not to be with the others.
"Sister You Yue, you look so beautiful today!"
Zhou Baoying still has that sweet tongue, a simple mind, and thinks everyone is nice.
Yao Xi covered her mouth and laughed, "She's practically the main character today, so of course she has to dress up carefully. Otherwise, look at all these young ladies in the room, who wouldn't want to outshine her and become the Crown Prince's consort?"
"Yao Xi, you're absolutely right! I think, let alone the Crown Princess, even the concubines and secondary consorts would be highly sought after, right?" Shen Zhiyi rarely joked.
Seeing this, Fang Miao suddenly took out the divine tortoise hidden in her sleeve. "Sister You Yue, how about I do a divination for you and see if you'll encounter any villains on such an auspicious day?"
Chu Yuan, "..."
Jiang Xuening shoved Fang Miao's divine turtle back down and said sarcastically, "Stop calculating, there are already villains coming towards us."
When everyone looked up, the one with the sinister smile and the graceful, affected gait was none other than Xue Shu.
Having witnessed the Qin Guifei incident, Yao Xi had already seen through Xue Shu's true nature. Knowing she wasn't one to tolerate things, she immediately retorted sarcastically, "Oh dear, look, isn't this Miss Xue? Only a few days and she's already out of confinement?"
Xue Shu, dressed in red, maintained her elegant and dignified demeanor. Upon hearing this, she showed neither anger nor resentment, remaining like a masked person: "Miss Yao, what you're saying isn't right. The Emperor only said I couldn't enter the palace, but he didn't say I couldn't leave my home, did he?"
I knew Shen Zhiyi would definitely come to Yan Ling's coming-of-age ceremony!
With her arrival, there was no reason for the other students to be absent.
Since they had collectively squeezed her out of the study companion group, she had nothing nice to say to them when she saw them again.
But as soon as Xue Shu finished speaking, she saw Yan Ling and Shen Jie coming over together. She immediately put away her arrogant and domineering expression and slowly bowed to Shen Jie, "Your Highness, it's been a long time."
"Oh." Shen Jie didn't even glance at her, treating her as just one of the many young ladies who greeted him.
All his attention was focused on Chu Yuan and Jiang Xuehui, who was standing slightly behind.
To this day, he still hasn't made up his mind on how to do it right.
Should he continue pursuing Chu Yuan regardless of the consequences, or should he be with Jiang Xuehui, with whom he shares a deep mutual understanding?
Undeniably, Jiang Xuehui is a very good girl.
She was dignified and kind, a perfect match for him, but for some reason, the more he forced himself to be with her, the more he felt that something was missing.
Thinking about it, Chen Jie couldn't help but shift his gaze to Chu Yuan's face.
He sighed silently to himself. Yes, it was just a little short. The woman in his sight was stunningly beautiful and had an exceptional temperament. She simply stood there and stole all the brilliance in the hall.
Even the elegant and sophisticated Jiang Xuening looked slightly inferior standing next to her.
Of course, this is partly due to his personal preference. If you like Jiang Xuening, you would definitely think that Jiang Xuening is better.
When Shen Jie saw Yan Ling walk over, she immediately smiled at Yan Ling without any reservations, and the two even flirted and teased each other under the cover of their robes.
The light in his eyes dimmed instantly.
