Chapter 89 Xiao Ling’s straight ball
"My second brother was among those killed the night the new science students were murdered. He observed the assassins up close and deduced that they were from the Northern Army."
Of all the princes currently in power, only Prince Rui has the ability to cause trouble for the imperial court.
Upon hearing this, the Crown Prince praised her, saying, "Thank you for your wisdom, Third Sister."
Then he glanced at Xiao Ling, only to find that Xiao Ling was focused on Xie Yunyu and didn't even look at him.
Sigh, this thing that has no humanity when it comes to the opposite sex.
He doesn't care about any important national affairs; he's only interested in admiring beautiful women.
After the Crown Prince finished complaining, he glanced at Xie Yunyu again.
However, Ling'er has a really sharp eye; the third daughter of the Xie family is quite a good strategist.
She said that her second brother was able to analyze the assassin's identity even after being attacked, so he must be an extremely intelligent person.
The Crown Prince was now looking forward to Xie Yunman's performance in the imperial examination.
If he were to enter the court as an official, he would inevitably be taken into the Eastern Palace.
Hearing that the two were silent, Xiao Ling looked up at the Crown Prince and asked:
"Are you done talking?"
The prince nodded: "Ah, that's about it, isn't it?"
"Once you're done talking, you can leave. Don't interrupt our romantic conversation."
Xiao Ling, expressionless, issued an order to the Crown Prince to leave.
The crown prince was stunned. He opened his mouth, but didn't know how to refute it.
He could only awkwardly touch his nose, stand up, put on his mask, and walk outside.
As soon as the Crown Prince left, Qingfeng tactfully closed the door.
Xiao Ling turned around and looked at Xie Yunyu, whose face was flushed with embarrassment, and said with a smile:
"Sigh, they're finally gone. We can have a proper talk now."
Xie Yunyu was astonished to see Xiao Ling's expression change drastically before and after the Crown Prince left.
"You're quite good at changing your expression."
Xie Yunyu praised him sincerely.
Xiao Ling reached out and grabbed Xie Yunyu's hand, covering it with his own.
"I've been sitting here for so long and drunk several cups of tea, why are my hands still so cold?"
Xie Yunyu felt the warmth of Xiao Ling's hand: "I forgot to bring a hand warmer when I went out."
Xiao Ling glanced at her helplessly, then reached out and pulled her into his arms.
Have you missed me these past few days?
Xie Yunyu nodded silently in his arms.
Upon seeing this, Xiao Ling's lips curled slightly.
"The Ministry of Personnel has been extremely busy lately; I'm practically living there now."
I haven't had time to visit you or bring you anything. You won't be upset with me, will you?
Xie Yunyu shook her head: "No. I didn't send you anything, so don't be angry."
Xiao Ling took Xie Yunyu's hand and kissed it.
"I won't be angry with you. I just hope you're doing well and that you like me a little more each day. That would make me very happy."
Hearing Xiao Ling's blunt words, Xie Yunyu asked in return:
"Have you always been this blunt?"
"No, that's not it. I just talk to you like that."
"Why?"
"Because I like you."
Xiao Ling put it even more bluntly.
Xie Yunyu sat up from his lap and carefully examined his face.
"Aren't you ashamed or embarrassed to say things like that?"
Xiao Ling shrugged indifferently: "What's the big deal? Of course I'll tell you if I like you."
How could you know my feelings if I didn't tell you?
Xie Yunyu found this quite reasonable and couldn't refute it for a moment, so she could only say:
"That makes sense."
"And you, do you like me?" Xiao Ling pressed.
A stunningly handsome man stands before you, sincerely telling you that he likes you and asking if you like him back.
Even if it's just based on looks, I can't refuse this question.
Xie Yunyu nodded involuntarily.
Xiao Ling frowned, displeased: "What does nodding mean? Does it mean you like it or you don't?"
"like."
What do you like about me?
"Face, figure."
Are you that shallow?
"I am such a shallow person, is that wrong?" Xie Yunyu said confidently.
"Okay, okay, if you like my face and figure, that's still liking me, of course it's fine."
Xie Yunyu asked, puzzled, "Then I'd like to ask you, what do you like about me?"
At this point, Xiao Ling smiled and said, "When I was a child, I saw a girl on Wan'an Mountain who was very intelligent."
The master said, "From love arises sorrow, from love arises fear, from love arises hatred."
I don't understand why you ask, "What is love?"
The little girl pointed to a couple in the rain ahead and said, "Love is a tilted umbrella."
I later asked, "If eyesight is invisible, how can it be perceived by people?"
The girl said, "Because of love, my eyes shine brightly."
As Xiao Ling finished speaking, Xie Yunyu suddenly remembered: "Ah... was that child you?"
Xiao Ling nodded.
“I remembered you back then. A long time has passed, but I have never forgotten what that little girl looked like, and the crescent-shaped birthmark behind her ear.”
During the six months we spent communicating around the stone table, I gradually came to appreciate your interesting soul.
On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, I became enamored with your body.
After that, I thought about you day and night, wanting to possess you completely…
Xie Yunyu couldn't bear to hear Xiao Ling's increasingly explicit words, so she reached out and covered his mouth.
Xiao Ling took the opportunity to kiss her palm.
Xie Yunyu felt a slight dampness, as if she were being burned, and released her grip.
Then I reached out and punched his shoulder.
"Aren't you supposed to be practicing Buddhism in a temple? How come you're so good at flirting?"
Xiao Ling asked, puzzled, "I was just telling the truth, how is that flirting?"
Then, complainingly, she said, "When it comes to flirting, you're the best."
Xie Yunyu glared at him, annoyed: "How could I be flirting?"
"Do you remember the first time we met alone after you returned to Beijing? You were drunk."
You were the one who initiated it, you snagged my clothes, and you even said something about how pretty my face was, wondering if it was okay for me to do that..."
Xie Yunyu's face burned as she heard this, and she quickly reached out to cover his mouth.
Why are you saying these things in broad daylight?
Xiao Ling removed Xie Yunyu's hand from her mouth: "Isn't that a rebuttal to what you said?"
I just want to prove that you're the one who knows how to flirt.
What I've done is nothing compared to what you've accomplished.
Xie Yunyu glared at him angrily: "What exactly do you want?"
Xiao Ling smiled and said, "Give me a kiss, and I won't say anything."
Xie Yunyu leaned forward and kissed Xiao Ling's lips, then quickly stepped back.
Xiao Ling laughed and said, "You can't stand my blunt words, but your actions are very straightforward."
Xie Yunyu gave him a reproachful look.
Xiao Ling pulled the person closer, held them in his arms, and kissed them.
Outside the door, Qingfeng dared not utter a sound under the threatening gaze of the Crown Prince.
The crown prince eavesdropped at the door for a long time.
Hearing the middle part, I could barely keep my composure.
Wow, it seems there's still a lot I need to learn from Ling'er.
Now that he couldn't hear anything, he leaned his head even closer, even wanting to poke a hole in the paper window by the door to take a closer look.
Qingfeng, who was standing nearby, couldn't hold back any longer and cleared his throat, saying:
"Your Highness, there are people pointing and whispering about you across the street."
Upon hearing this, the prince quickly turned his head and, sure enough, saw people on the other side pointing and whispering about his eavesdropping.
The crown prince was embarrassed and had no choice but to leave with his entourage.
Qingfeng finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the great master leave.
The two inside didn't hear the commotion outside and continued to embrace each other tenderly.
They kissed for a long time before separating.
Xiao Ling, his breath unsteady, said, "I really want to marry you as soon as possible."
Xie Yunyu, dizzy from the kiss, asked in a daze:
Why would I marry her?
"Marry me, hold me, kiss me, and we can do other things..."
Xie Yunyu chuckled and said, "You're one to talk, aren't you? You're just lusting after my body too."
No, I also love your witty and humorous soul.
I like your composure and calmness, I like your occasional cunning, I like everything about you…
Sweet words are the most powerful weapon in the world; they can make people intoxicated without them even realizing it.
At this moment, Xie Yunyu was completely intoxicated, feeling as sweet as if she had drunk honey.
"Did you put on a sweet tongue today?"
"Whether it had honey on it or not, didn't you just taste it?"
Xiao Ling has started again...
