Chapter 48: Bai Yueguang, the leader of Hehuan Sect, confesses his feelings
Besides... the lotus lantern he put down fell back down. Is this some kind of bad omen?
Could it be that God was telling him that he shouldn't dream of things that he could never get?
What doesn't belong to you will never truly belong to you, no matter how much you long for it.
"The lotus lantern has fallen back, and my wish cannot come true." Ji Hanlin lowered his head, muttered to himself, and sighed secretly in his heart.
Never mind, this is also good. Being able to accompany her like this, no matter what his status is, he should be content.
However, the woman next to him heard his whisper and asked him with some doubt: "Why do you think so?"
Ji Hanlin did not answer, but quietly clenched his hands into fists.
"Do you think I don't know that you like me?" Wen Qianning suddenly smiled, leaned closer to him, tilted her head and asked cutely.
He was shocked, as if his secrets were exposed, and his cheeks turned red instantly.
"What did you say?"
Sure enough... she knew that even if the timing and circumstances of picking up the male protagonist were different from the original novel's plot, the male protagonist would always fall in love with Bai Yueguang. This was an undoubted fact that would happen no matter what.
Wen Qianning looked at the young man, walked closer step by step, and finally stood in front of him, looking up, beautiful and charming.
"Xiao Lin, I like you too."
As soon as she finished speaking, she stood on tiptoe, moved closer, and gently kissed the corner of his lips, as silent as a dragonfly touching the water, but it ignited his whole heart.
Ji Hanlin stood there in a daze, his pupils shrinking slightly. He thought he had misheard and looked at Wen Qianning in disbelief.
He never dared to imagine that she would respond so gently to him.
Wen Qianning in front of him was dressed in plain clothes, her skin was whiter than snow, her almond eyes were slightly raised, and there was tenderness and love floating between her eyebrows. The star lights were reflected in her eyes, like a dream.
Bang, bang... At this moment, it was as if fireworks burst out from my heart, and a thousand years passed in an instant.
In his eyes, she was breathtakingly beautiful at this moment, as if the stars in the sky fell into her eyes, making his heart beat wildly.
"You...you kissed me?" Ji Hanlin's voice was hoarse, and he stood there in a daze, not yet fully reacting.
"Yes." Wen Qianning didn't shy away from the question, but smiled. "I received the wish you wrote."
"I've already said it. Why don't you tell me what you wish for? Maybe... I can make it come true for you."
Ji Hanlin's ears turned red, his Adam's apple moved, but he said nothing.
He still couldn't believe it... Wen Qianning was his savior and the first person who cared about him so much. He didn't know when he had started to feel feelings for her in the past three years, but now he could feel her feelings for him.
After a while, the blushing young man nodded, gently pulled the woman into his arms, his face full of unconcealable joy.
Ji Hanlin lowered his head and could almost hear the rhythm of her heartbeat, overlapping with his own.
He didn't know why, but the soft and petite body in his arms gave him an almost paranoid satisfaction. She was too soft and too light, as if as long as he tightened his arms slightly, he could completely hide her deep in his bones and blood and never let her go.
He had never hugged anyone so greedily, and he never dared to imagine that there was such a beautiful thing in this world that he could hold in his palm.
Ji Hanlin's arms tightened quietly, as if to confirm her presence.
It’s true... This woman is really in his arms, it’s not a dream.
Meanwhile, Kui Congling, who was hiding behind a large tree in the distance, was already laughing so hard that he muttered quietly, "Kui Congling, ah Kui Congling, you really have the potential to be a matchmaker, don't you?"
*
After this day, the relationship between the two became sticky, mainly because... a young boy who was just beginning to fall in love couldn't help but want to get close to the person he liked.
Wen Qianning was reading a book in the house. This was a new storybook that Kui Congling brought back from the market. It was said that it was very popular in the major monks' markets recently.
She was bored and just flipped through the book, but she couldn't stop reading it.
This page in the book reads: The master is cold and taciturn, indifferent and distant to everyone, but in front of the little junior sister, he will uncontrollably show his possessive desire, often banging her against the wall, forcibly kissing her, and making her sit on his lap when copying the exercises as punishment... He pulled the little junior sister into his arms, pinched her chin with his fingers, lifted her face domineeringly, lowered his head and kissed her forcefully. The little junior sister blushed and resisted, but he held her tighter: "Don't move."
Seeing this line of text, she found it extremely amusing. It was simply a story of a domineering CEO falling in love with me in the world of immortal cultivation. It turns out that no matter which world it is, people like this kind of old-fashioned and melodramatic plot...
An image popped up uncontrollably in Wen Qianning's mind: Ji Hanlin, with a cold face, pushed her against the door panel... and then bent down to kiss her.
"Cough cough cough." She almost choked to death on a mouthful of water, and her cheeks quickly turned red.
Why do I think of him...
But Ji Hanlin's handsome and beautiful face is perfect for playing this kind of cold-faced master. If he really put on a white robe, lowered his eyes and spoke coldly, not to mention others, even she herself would feel her heart beating wildly.
Wen Qianning quickly shook his head, closed the book on the table, and tried to get rid of the strange thoughts in his mind.
Suddenly, a hand reached out from behind and embraced the woman in its arms.
"Ningning." The young man's cold voice fell softly in her ears, with some attachment. He stood behind her, leaning slightly, his breath very close to her.
"When... did you come?" Wen Qianning didn't know when Ji Hanlin appeared behind her. She was startled by his sudden approach. She turned her head and almost bumped into his chin.
"miss you."
As he spoke, he chuckled and gently tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear. Wen Qianning seemed to hear her heart skip a beat.
Don't we see each other every day? The last time we met was just fifteen minutes ago, so why is he thinking about her again? The male protagonist in this world is a bit too clingy.
Besides, she was just fantasizing about someone else, who would have thought that the real person would appear in front of her the next second? It was so scary.
But... she still enjoyed it. Wen Qianning protested softly, her cheeks flushing uncontrollably: "Stop it, I'm reading."
"Look at yours." He curled his lips slightly, "I'll look at you."
The woman was stunned. While she was stunned, Ji Hanlin took advantage of the situation and moved closer to the corner of her lips, placing a very light kiss on her.
Wait, why did this scene feel like it appeared in that best-selling romance novel about the world of immortal cultivation that she had just read?!
"you……"
Just as she opened her mouth, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside the door.
"Sister Wen, I just bought some fresh sugar-roasted chestnuts..." Kui Congling kicked the door open and saw the scene inside the room before he finished speaking: Ji Hanlin was sitting very close to Wen Qianning, as if he had just leaned over and kissed her, and Wen Qianning was covering her mouth with her hand in panic.
“…”
Kui Congling stood at the door in a daze, and the sugar-roasted chestnuts in his hand fell to the ground with a "pa".
"Did I disturb you?" she said with difficulty.
Wen Qianning stood up abruptly, pushed Ji Hanlin away with one hand, and quickly covered the romance novel in her hand with the other: "We didn't do anything, we definitely didn't do anything inappropriate for children!"
Ji Hanlin remained calm. While helping Wen Qianning to steady herself, she spoke calmly, "Well, you came in before we could do anything."
"Oh..." Kui Congling nodded meaningfully, the gossip in his eyes growing brighter and brighter. He smiled and said, "Then you guys continue. I'm just passing by. I'll be leaving soon!"
After Kui Congling left, their eyes met, and Wen Qianning quickly looked away with a red face, not daring to look directly into the subtle teasing and doting in his eyes.
That's not right. When Ji Hanlin confessed his love to her a few days ago, he was the shy one. How come in just a few days, the young man has learned everything on his own and has become the host?
Wen Qianning's eyelashes drooped, the corners of her eyes were red, and her breathing was shallow.
Ji Hanlin was still sitting beside her, his posture lazy. His eyes slowly slid from the tips of her hair to her cheek, and then from her trembling lips to her neck, and his eyes sank imperceptibly.
The incense burner in the room was still burning, and a faint fragrance was floating in the air. He didn't move, and the scent gradually approached.
Feeling those eyes staring at her, Wen Qianning's cheeks felt a little hot. She took a step back, kicked the edge of the desk, and her center of gravity swayed, and she pounced towards him.
The young man caught her quickly, and the woman fell softly into his arms. When she looked up, she bumped into his eyes.
His pupils were as deep as a night pool, cold yet with a hint of heat. Ji Hanlin lowered his head and leaned very close to her. His hand slid from her waist and gently stroked her lower back.
Wen Qianning bit her lips lightly, not daring to move, her eyelashes fluttering: "You... let me go."
Her voice was soft, like some kind of...coquettish plea.
So cute.
Ji Hanlin paused for a moment, and couldn't help but lean over, put his face close to her neck, and sniffed her hair with the tip of his nose.
“It smells so good.”
Wen Qianning shrank her neck and wanted to say something, but her whole body trembled slightly, and her eyelashes trembled a little... because the boy in front of her had already pressed against her neck and was kissing her gently.
Her body seemed to be frozen, standing stiffly in place, her ears gradually turned red, and even the skin on the side of her neck was dyed pink.
The boy's breath was so close to her that she could even feel the subtle warmth of his lips brushing against hers. The feather-light yet frightening touch was like a fine electric current, running from the side of her neck into her heart, causing her heart to beat violently.
She was about to push him away, but Ji Hanlin had already raised his head and met her eyes. His eyes were shiny black and his gaze was deep.
"Ningning."
Ji Hanlin called her softly, his voice trembling with an imperceptible tremor, as if his emotions, which had been suppressed to the extreme, were about to overflow.
The next moment, he leaned over, pressed his thin lips against her rosy little mouth, and his tongues entangled repeatedly.
The kiss lasted for a long time. When Wen Qianning finally came to her senses, the boy had slowly left her lips and looked down at her.
"Sorry. Ningning, do you think... I'm too reckless?" He asked softly, his face showing no regrets. "But, it seems that I can't hold myself back when facing you."
Her face was so red that it was about to bleed. After thinking for a while, she said softly, "It's okay, Xiaolin. I don't hate you kissing me."
Ji Hanlin seemed to be ignited by these words. His eyes suddenly deepened, and a smile slowly appeared on his originally stern face.
"I like you so much, Ningning."
