Chapter 994 The Only Warmth
But Yi Mei shook her head: "I'm not cold."
From her assassination, to Yi Zhou being poisoned, to Guan Ying's betrayal...
This series of events happened too suddenly.
She was totally unprepared, her mind was in a mess, all her thoughts were tangled up in a knot that couldn't be untangled. How could she care whether she was cold or not?
At this time, an official came out and lit the two lanterns hanging at the door.
In the dim light, Chu Jian found that Yi Mei's face was extremely pale, her lips were dry and chapped, and her eyes were red.
This is completely different from the arrogance she usually displays.
Chu Jian took off his coat and put it on her.
The dress was a very deep dark blue, like the night sky, with the boy's warmth, and it was heavy on the little princess's shoulders, causing her to lose consciousness for a moment.
Chu Jian rarely does this kind of comforting work, so he couldn't help feeling a little uncomfortable at this moment.
He scratched his head and said dryly.
"It's cold, so you'd better wear more clothes."
Yi Mei pursed her lips: "Are you feeling sorry for me?"
Chu Jian asked back: "Why should I pity you?"
Yi Mei: "I just lost a loved one."
Chu Jian wanted to say, if losing a loved one means being pitied, then wouldn't he be pitied from childhood to adulthood? After all, his mother died a long time ago.
But this is too complicated to say, and with his current mastery of the Thousand Islands language, he is unable to express it accurately for the time being.
He thought about it and finally could only use the simplest words to comfort the other person.
"You still have me."
What he actually wanted to say is that you still have many relatives who love you, but he doesn't know how to say this, so in the end he could only simplify it to "you still have me", but the meaning should be similar anyway.
Yi Mei never expected that the boy in front of her would say such a thing.
She was stunned at first, then her cheeks flushed.
She turned her face away and spoke in a deliberately disdainful tone.
"Who cares about you?"
Chu Jian wanted to say that many people loved him, such as his master, his fellow brothers and sisters.
They all miss him!
But he didn't know how to express these words in the language of the Thousand Islands, so he replied angrily.
"Oh, nevermind."
Yi Mei immediately turned her head back and glared at the boy in front of her: "How can we let it go? The words have already been spoken, we can't let it go!"
Chu Jian scratched his head. It wasn't possible to agree with her words, nor was it possible to go against her words. He truly felt that the Third Princess in front of him was too difficult to please.
Yi Mei asked, "Why don't you speak?"
Chu Jian didn't know what to say, it seemed like no matter what he said it would be wrong.
Finally he simply changed the subject.
"Have you eaten?"
Yi Mei frowned slightly, obviously dissatisfied with his forced change of subject, but she still gave an honest answer.
"No."
All day today, she only ate something in the palace this morning, and then she didn't drink a drop of water.
Because she was so worried, she even forgot she was hungry.
When Chu Jian asked her this, she suddenly remembered eating, and her stomach began to growl.
The sound was quite loud and Chu Jian could hear it clearly.
Yimei's face suddenly became even redder.
She held her stomach and said awkwardly, "My stomach just feels uncomfortable."
Chu Jian did not expose her and said smoothly.
"I'm getting ready to have dinner. Do you want to join me? It's my treat."
Yi Mei: "Since you invite me so sincerely, I will agree to it with reluctance."
A question mark appeared on Chu Jian's forehead? ?
He just asked casually, how can you tell that he is sincere?
Yimei stretched out her right hand: "Help me up."
Chu Jian didn't think much about it, grabbed her wrist and pulled hard.
He felt that he didn't use much strength, but he forgot that the other party was a weak little princess who knew no martial arts at all.
With this pull, he directly pulled Yi Mei up.
Yi Mei was caught off guard, screamed, and threw herself into his arms.
Fortunately, Chu Jian has been practicing martial arts for many years, and his lower body is very stable. Even though he was hit, he still stood firmly in place, and there was no tragedy of two people rolling down the stairs together.
However, the current situation is not much better than rolling down the stairs.
At this time, the two of them were hugging each other, their bodies pressed very close.
In order to prevent her from falling, Chu Jian put his hands on her back.
Yimei could clearly hear the other person's heartbeat, beat after beat.
The sound seemed to hit her eardrum, causing her heartbeat to speed up involuntarily.
Because they were so close, Chu Jian could clearly feel the curves of the girl's body in his arms.
And the faint fragrance from her body was constantly drilling into his nose, causing his brain to completely freeze at that moment.
His ears quickly turned red and his body froze in place like a hard stone statue.
Both of them were waiting for the other to make the first move.
But after waiting for a long time, no one moved.
They maintained this intimate posture.
Until passers-by saw this scene and shook their heads and sighed.
"They dare to hug and cuddle in the street without any rules. This is really the decline of morals!"
Chu Jian then quickly let go of his hand.
Yimei then took a step back.
There was distance between them.
Yi Mei was the first to speak: "Why are you pulling me so hard?"
Chu Jian didn't dare to look into her eyes at this moment. He glanced at the stone lion next to him and spoke in a low voice.
"I didn't mean to do that. I'm sorry."
He had already apologized, so Yimei couldn't keep pursuing the matter. Besides, she wasn't really angry. She just felt that her performance just now was too embarrassing. She was so nervous that she didn't know what to do. She didn't act like a princess at all.
She deliberately made trouble to hide her panic.
Fortunately, Chu Jian's mind was even more confused than hers, and he didn't even notice how red her face was at the moment.
He said, "Let's go."
Yimei felt that going out to eat wearing men's clothes would cause unnecessary misunderstandings, but she didn't want to return the clothes.
As for the reason, she didn't want to delve into it for the time being.
Anyway, she is a princess, so even if others think her behavior is inappropriate, they dare not talk nonsense in front of her.
She gathered the clothes on her body and quickly caught up with the boy in front of her.
"Walk slower, wait for me!"
Chu Jian slowed down his pace.
He turned around and looked at the third princess.
She was very petite and was wearing his clothes.
The coat was too long for her, and the hem even dragged on the ground, which looked very awkward.
But she held it tightly, fearing that it would slip off her body.
Neither the color nor the style of this dress was what she liked, but it was her only warmth on this cold winter night.
…
Good morning everyone!
Yimei: I am not in love! ╭(╯^╰)╮
……
Please give me a monthly ticket!!
