The weather was extremely cold. At night, all you could hear was the howling north wind hitting the window, trying to get in through every crack.
The lights in Haitangju are still on.
Jiang Si took a travel book and leaned against the incense burner to read. The warmth mixed with the faint smell of charcoal came over her, making her a little drowsy.
In fact, she could not read more than a few pages of the book, but the leisure and idleness after her tense nerves suddenly relaxed made her feel a little bored and confused.
Jiang seems to be enjoying this kind of boredom.
Who doesn't enjoy it? Boredom is often a luxurious emotion that arises from the absence of pressure and crisis.
For example, before, the misfortunes of her second brother and eldest sister in their previous lives were like two sharp swords hanging over her head, making her feel only urgency and worry. How could she have time to be bored?
What makes her confused is the future of her and Yu Qi.
In the past, I just wanted to stay away from that man, so I didn't have to worry about these things. But now that I have decided to start over with him, I am worried about the difficulties.
Her father obviously did not approve of her marrying into the royal family, and the royal family certainly did not like her either.
Jiang Si put the book to his face and closed his eyes.
Forget it, just let Yu Qi worry about these things. She can't help even if she wants to. She can't go to the emperor and recommend herself.
There was a rhythmic knock on the window.
Jiang Si raised his hand to take the scroll away from his face and looked towards the window.
It gets dark early in winter, and it was already pitch black at this time. The screen window was hazy, with occasional dark shadows passing by, like withered banana leaves swept by the wind.
"Young lady?" Ah Qiao was on duty that night. When she heard the noise, she picked up the vase and walked towards the window.
The knocking on the window stopped for a moment and then started again.
Jiang Si signaled Aqiao to open the window.
Ah Qiao held the vase in one hand and opened the window with the other.
As the cold wind rushed in, a person jumped in nimbly.
The young man who walked out of the darkness had black eyebrows and eyes, which set off his red lips and white teeth, making him look extremely handsome.
Ah Qiao calmly closed the window, slightly bent her knees to Yu Jin, and walked outside holding the vase.
Yu Jin was slightly surprised, walked over to Jiang Si and sat down, saying with a smile: "Ah Si, your maid is very self-conscious, I thought she was going to throw a vase at me."
Jiang Si glanced at him sideways and put the book aside.
"It's so cold." Yu Jin put his hand on the incense burner and said pitifully.
Ah Si is tough on the outside but soft on the inside. Seeing him like this, maybe she won't be angry with him for climbing the wall again.
"Asi."
"Um?"
The girl smiled brightly, which gave the boy great courage.
"I missed you. Come and see me."
His right eye had been twitching violently, and he always felt that something bad was going to happen. He was relieved to see that Ah Si was safe and sound.
Jiang Si was silent for a moment, then his smile deepened and he said casually, "Me too."
Yu Jinyou was stunned.
What did he just hear?
Ah Si said that I am also——
"Asi, what did you say?" He must have misheard.
Jiang Si smiled and said, "I said so too."
"You are what too?"
Jiang Si leaned against the incense burner and adjusted himself to a more comfortable position, then smiled and said, "I missed you, too."
Yu Jin was stunned again, and this time for even longer, so long that Jiang Si wanted to yawn. He suddenly moved closer to her.
It was freezing cold outside, but warm inside, so the man, who had no time to take off his coat, soon broke out in a sweat.
The beads of sweat that oozed out were not as hot as his mood at the moment.
Yu Jin suddenly untied the laces and threw the black cloak away, revealing a well-fitting stone-blue jacket.
"Asi." He looked at her carefully, trying to capture every expression on her face.
"Are you angry and teasing me on purpose?"
The girl who was pressed on the incense burner tilted her head and smiled: "You are not a kitten or a puppy, why should I tease you?"
Yu Jin touched his nose angrily.
Yes, in terms of being likable, he is probably not as good as Erniu, so there seems to be no need to tease him.
If that's the case, then what Ah Si just said was the truth?
But this feeling is still too unreal, and it feels like a ridiculous daydream.
"Asi, do you really miss me too?" He came closer, his eyes burning.
Jiang Si nodded.
"But, how could it be..."
"Don't believe it?"
Yu Jin wanted to nod, but he couldn't bear to do it, for fear that once he nodded, the other party would tell him that it was fake.
If that happens, he will be very unhappy.
Right now, they are alone and have a lot of problems. If he is really unhappy, he might do something to make himself happy...
Jiang Si raised her head and kissed his lips.
The room was very hot, and their lips entangled and collided with each other, which was even hotter. Unfortunately, the fumigation cage under them was getting more and more bent, and gradually got closer to the charcoal fire.
Jiang felt as if his back was about to be melted by the heat, and he mumbled, "Hot..."
The man held her in his arms, and rolled onto the bed beside him, knocking off the pillow and quilt.
Then the two of them fell to the ground, landing on the soft bedding.
The entangled lips never separated.
He became more and more passionate, as if he wanted to swallow the girl in his arms alive.
Not to be outdone, she reached down and grasped the raised sword with skill.
It seems not as good as in the previous life...
As the thought flashed through his mind, the young man suddenly let go of her, turned over, and breathed rapidly while supporting himself on the ground.
"Do you believe it?" Jiang Si's breath was a little disordered, her cheeks were like blooming peach blossoms, and she asked him softly.
Yu Jin was speechless.
This bold girl, did she do it on purpose or was it an accident...
After a little thought, he felt like he was going to explode. He had only one crazy thought in his mind: etiquette and rules are all bullshit. He wanted to spend the wedding night with her right now...
As a result, his breathing became more rapid, but he did not dare to make any movement.
That's not right, he is the one who wants to take advantage...
After using up all his strength to gradually regain his composure, Yu Jin wiped his face and sat up straight.
Jiang Si calmly tidied up his messy clothes.
After a long time, the warmth in the room was no longer so overwhelming, and Yu Jin finally spoke: "Asi, I will take it seriously."
Jiang Si came closer.
Yu Jin looked at her warily.
His willpower is now extremely weak and he can no longer restrain himself.
The girl smiled at him, her eyes sparkling: "Do you want me to kiss you again?"
The hanging boulder finally fell to the ground following this question.
Yu Jin rubbed his stiff face, pounded the ground hard, and was overwhelmed by joy.
"Asi, are you willing to marry me?"
Jiang Si nodded, his voice was very soft, making people feel inexplicably sad: "I am willing."
In this life, she finally told him in an upright manner that she was willing to marry him, and she also knew clearly that the person he wanted to marry was Jiang Si.
That's great.
"That's great!" Yu Jin was overjoyed and hugged her tightly, "Your father asked about my age today. I guess he likes me very much and wants to marry you to me..."
Jiang Si pursed his lips and kindly reminded: "My father knows your identity."
Yu Jin was startled, and asked with a hint of luck: "And then?"
