Chapter 43 A Passionate Kiss After Getting Drunk
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ling revealed an even brighter smile:
"Okay, then I'll take that as a yes."
Xie Yunyu was captivated by that smile again, her eyes becoming even more infatuated.
"How about I go to your house to propose marriage after your brother passes the exam?"
"good."
Xiao Ling finally discovered Xie Yunyu's weakness and also discovered his own strengths.
So he coaxed her, "Do I have a nice smile?"
"nice."
"Want to touch it?"
Xie Yunyu nodded.
Xiao Ling stood up, took Xie Yunyu's hand, and the two sat down by the window.
Then, she placed Xie Yunyu's hand on her cheek.
Seeing a handsome face fall into her hands, Xie Yunyu had no reason to let it go, so she touched it again and again.
Then she reached out and hooked Xiao Ling's collar, pulling him closer.
The distance between the two suddenly closed, their breaths mingling with the smell of alcohol.
Xiao Ling looked at Xie Yunyu's face up close, as if from another world.
The last time the two of them were so entangled was on that confused night.
Xie Yunyu, still half-asleep, licked her lips and murmured:
"This face is strangely pretty, I wonder if it will work out?"
Xiao Ling blushed slightly as he listened to her drunken, raucous words.
But he wouldn't back down, and since this involved a man's pride, he retorted:
"Haven't you tried it?"
Whether I can do it or not, only you know best.
Xie Yunyu didn't respond, but instead moved closer.
The atmosphere of entangled lust grew heavier and heavier, engulfing the surrounding air and threatening to drown the two of them.
Just as Xiao Ling was about to lose control, Xie Yunyu suddenly licked Xiao Ling's lips.
This lick had no consequences; Xiao Ling's mind went blank, and the string of reason snapped abruptly.
He quickly reached out and held Xie Yunyu's head, then eagerly kissed her.
Xie Yunyu was drunk and confused. When she saw the handsome man, she forgot everything else and only cared about what was in front of her.
Xiao Ling was conscious, yet she couldn't help but succumb to the kiss.
The two were deeply engrossed in their kiss, their lips and teeth locked in a passionate exchange, exploring the depths of their encounter.
Heavy breathing filled their ears.
Gradually, Xie Yunyu's hands began to wander, reaching out to tug at Xiao Ling's clothes...
However, the window faces the street.
Those outside the window saw the shadows of two men reflected on the windowpane, kissing inside.
The passersby were stunned.
"Tsk tsk, the world is going to the dogs!"
"This...this...this is simply outrageous."
"These scholars really know how to have fun..."
The gatekeeper noticed a few passersby looking up at something, so he went over to investigate and was shocked to discover what they were seeing.
Quickly disperse those pedestrians, then come in and report.
Gu Yu and Qing Feng were guarding the door. After hearing the steward's report, they hurriedly went inside.
Upon opening the door, they saw two people kissing passionately by the window, with Xie Yunyu even trying to tear off Xiao Ling's clothes.
Upon hearing the door open, Xiao Ling quickly pulled Xie Yunyu into his arms.
In a fleeting glance, I noticed a crescent-shaped birthmark behind Xie Yunyu's right ear.
Xiao Ling turned to look at the two people who had barged into the room, her expression displeased.
The gentle breeze and the Grain Rain quickly bowed their heads.
"What is it?" Xiao Ling asked.
Qingfeng replied, "People downstairs can see the shadows reflected in the window."
"Lights out."
Xiao Ling gave the order.
Upon receiving the instruction, Qingfeng quickly stepped forward and turned off the lights.
Seeing this, Gu Yu also followed suit and was extinguished.
After the lights went out, the two turned around and went outside again.
Xiao Ling turned around, wanting to continue, but in the darkness he heard Xie Yunyu's even breathing.
By the moonlight streaming through the window, Xiao Ling saw Xie Yunyu sleeping peacefully in his arms.
I adjusted her position in my arms to make her more comfortable.
Looking at her sleeping face, Xiao Ling sighed, lowered his head and kissed her cheek, whispering:
"Irresponsible, he fell asleep halfway through flirting with someone."
The warm, soft body in his arms filled the emptiness Xiao Ling had felt over the past six months.
So this is what it feels like to have someone you like in your arms.
The book says: "Having a lover in your arms can cure three thousand heart ailments."
It turns out it was true.
Using the dim light around him, he carefully examined the birthmark behind Xie Yunyu's right ear.
He then grinned and said, "So it was you. We really are destined to meet."
Xiao Ling often lived in the mountains when he was a child, and rarely returned to the mansion.
Most of the people who come to the temple are adults. There are occasionally children, but they all know his identity, so they are more respectful than friendly when interacting with him.
It was a rainy spring day, with a lingering drizzle.
Master Tianyi led Xiao Ling to the pagoda forest behind the temple to visit the monks who had passed away in Nirvana.
On the way back, many believers braved the rain to come and worship.
Among them was a middle-aged couple holding a child who appeared to be seriously ill.
Upon seeing this, Master Tianyi sighed and said, "From love arises sorrow, from love arises fear."
Xiao Ling asked, puzzled, "Master, what is love?"
Master Tianyi did not speak, but suddenly a clear, melodious girl's voice came from the side.
Love is a tilted umbrella.
Xiao Ling and Master Tianyi turned around and saw that Grand Tutor Xie was bringing over a girl of about six or seven years old.
Master Tianyi smiled and nodded, "Young benefactor, you have quite the potential."
Xiao Ling naturally recognized the Grand Tutor, but not the little girl, so he asked:
What does that mean?
The little girl pointed ahead and said, "Look."
Xiao Ling followed the little girl's finger and saw a young couple sharing an umbrella. The husband tilted the umbrella towards his wife, leaving half of his shoulder wet with rain.
The couple climbed the steps and, noticing the gazes of several people, looked up and saw Master Tianyi. They nodded and smiled in their direction.
Xiao Ling remained calm and turned to walk towards the main hall of the temple.
The little girl also wanted to see, and Grand Tutor Xie, seeing her intention, said gently:
"Go."
The two entered the main hall, and Xiao Ling immediately knelt on the prayer mat.
The little girl stood by the door, gazing at the carved beams and painted rafters of the royal temple, and the majestic Buddha statues.
Suddenly, Xiao Ling seemed to sense something, turned around, and saw Master Tianyi looking at him.
He then asked the little girl, "Sight is invisible, so how can I sense it?"
The girl turned her head and glanced at Grand Tutor Xie, who was also looking at her with affection.
The little girl answered in a clear voice, "The human eye is like a clear spring, but because of love, its gaze becomes bright."
This was the first time Xiao Ling had heard such an explanation, and he looked at the little girl with curiosity.
The girl was tilting her head to look outside, so he could clearly see a crescent-shaped birthmark behind her ear.
After that, he went to the back to worship Buddha and do his studies.
Time may pass and bury many things from the past, but Xiao Ling will always remember the little girl who appeared in the spring rain.
But years later, he never expected to meet the little girl who had once taught him what love was.
Is this what Master meant when he said that there is a divine will in the dark?
The connections between people are truly wondrous.
In the darkness, Xiao Ling was lost in thought, and sat quietly, holding Xie Yunyu's body.
After an unknown amount of time, Xiao Ling felt his body was about to lose sensation when Xie Yunyu slowly woke up.
In the darkness, he groggily got up from Xiao Ling's body.
He muttered, "Guyu, why don't you help me to the couch to sleep?"
Xiao Ling knew that this person was treating her as Gu Yu.
Upon hearing Xie Yunyu's voice, Gu Yu quickly pushed open the door and came in.
As the light shone in, Gu Yu saw Xie Yunyu staggering towards her and quickly went to support her.
Xie Yunyu walked straight towards the door.
Stepping outside and seeing the brightly lit Tianxing Tower, Xie Yunyu regained her senses for a moment.
"Why are we still at Tianxing Tower? Let's go home."
Gu Yu was eager to get home and quickly helped Xie Yunyu downstairs.
Xiao Ling's body was still numb on one side, and he couldn't get up at all.
Worried about Xie Yunyu's drunken state, he instructed Qingfeng:
"Get her home safely, without any mistakes."
Upon hearing this, Qingfeng turned to leave, but after taking only two steps, she turned back and asked, "Then what will happen to you here, my lord?"
"Come back to pick me up after you drop her off," Xiao Ling instructed.
"Here you go."
Xie Yunyu got into the carriage, closed her eyes, and continued to sleep leaning against Gu Yu.
Qingfeng rode his horse alongside the carriage, escorting it all the way to the Xie residence.
He watched the carriage enter the Xie family's courtyard before turning to leave.
Xie Yunyu was still dizzy even after getting off the carriage.
Gu Yu helped her back to the courtyard, and after washing up, she went straight to sleep.
Xie Yunyu slept very well that night.
But Xiao Ling couldn't sleep. She tried meditating, chanting the Heart-Clearing Mantra, and taking a cold shower, but nothing worked.
Whenever he closes his eyes, all he sees is Xie Yunyu, either her image from that night at Bitan or the kiss from today.
I couldn't shake off that restlessness no matter what I did.
Besides him, Gu Yu also didn't sleep well.
Grain Rain is something to be afraid of.
The next morning, Xie Yunyu opened her eyes and felt a headache.
Calling for Grain Rain, but there's no response.
Xia Zhi came in, helped her wash up, and then cooked her a bowl of hangover soup.
After finishing breakfast, Xie Yunyu finally remembered her business and went to see Old Master Xie.
Grandpa Xie asked her, "Where did you go yesterday? Why did you come back so late?"
"My granddaughter went to Tianxing Tower to gather information."
Grandpa Xie nodded and said, "I already know about the matter of Jiuzhou Dim Sum Shop."
The letter you sent to Zongcheng has already been sent to the Jingzhao Prefecture yesterday. Prefect Liu of the Jingzhao Prefecture is completely unaware of this.
When they went to find the captain, he had already been poisoned.
Xie Yunyu nodded and said, "Yes, I know that."
After hearing this, Old Master Xie asked again, "Did you gain anything from your trip to Tianxing Tower yesterday?"
Xie Yunyu nodded: "I met someone yesterday, and he told me that it was Ye Jing, the heir of the Marquis of Guangping, who set up the scheme."
Old Master Xie frowned: "The Marquis of Guangping? Our household has no connection with the Marquis of Guangping's household."
