Chapter 102: Confess Your Feelings, I Will Feel Pain Too
It felt a little prickly to the touch, not as smooth as a woman's chin.
Ji Qingwu's bright eyes looked at him intently, her delicate fingertips touching the side of his face, as if trying to gauge his reaction and determine whether he was in pain.
The bright red lips were getting closer and closer to him.
Emperor Wu Su lowered his head slightly and stared at her.
Ji Qingwu had her hair tied up high this morning, and with her crimson riding suit, she looked dashing and heroic. But after a day of hard work, her hair became loose.
Emperor Wu Su pulled her onto a galloping horse. Now, her hair had fallen down a lot and was hanging on her face, which made her look more graceful and beautiful.
As she spoke, a few strands of hair swung to her lips and stuck to them.
Emperor Wu Su raised his hand and tucked the naughty strand of hair behind her ear.
She felt the emperor's fingertips brush across her slightly cool and plump lips and press on the tender skin behind her ear.
When he touched her like this, she frowned, hummed, and tried to move away.
Emperor Wu Su said with dissatisfaction: "Why are you hiding? Why don't you allow me to touch you?"
Ji Qingwu pulled his arm and whispered, "No." But he still didn't let go, obviously not wanting him to touch her again.
"What do you mean by no?"
"No...I'm not allowed to touch you." Ji Qingwu explained delicately, "My face hurts so much from the strong wind, and it hurts even more if your Majesty touches me."
Because of the howling wind that scratched her along the way, her exposed skin was red, stinging and sensitive.
Emperor Wu Su didn't buy it. He suddenly pressed down on her thin right shoulder, pinched her shoulder cleft with two fingers and applied a little force.
Ji Qingwu cried out in pain immediately, her red lips gasping for breath, her eyes filled with tears from the pain, she looked at the man who had done the cruel thing with tearful eyes.
He said in a deep voice: "Fortunately it's just fascia damage."
It turned out that he noticed that her posture was awkward and was checking her shoulder injury.
Emperor Wu Su followed her right shoulder and pinched her upper arm in the same way.
Even though Ji Qingwu was mentally prepared, he was still attacked by the pain and tears rolled out all of a sudden.
Emperor Wu Su asked knowingly, "Does it hurt?"
Ji Qingwu nodded with tears in her eyes. Why did this person always pick on others' sore spots?
A strange color flashed across his eyes, and his tone turned cold: "I thought you didn't know what pain was."
Ji Qingwu wiped the tears from his face and said, "I am not an insensitive person. Of course I feel the pain."
Upon hearing her words, Emperor Wu Su's expression became extremely creepy.
"It hurts now. Didn't it hurt when you fell off your horse? Have you ever thought about how painful it would be to fall off a cliff?"
Ji Qingwu raised his chin and replied stubbornly: "If I really fall down, I won't feel the pain."
Go straight to the point and sleep forever underground.
"You are so heartless!"
Emperor Wu Su seemed to be really angry at her words and did not speak for a long time.
He just stared at her with those cold eyes.
The heat from his chest through the armor was warming her body, but his expression made her feel cold all over.
Ji Qingwu's heart ached at his cold gaze.
In the past, Emperor Wu Su had clearly shown a colder look. She was just afraid, but she didn't feel so upset.
At some point, Ji Qingwu could no longer bear his sudden indifference.
She turned her head away, not wanting to see his look again.
Emperor Wu Su, however, held her chin, and with his fingers, he forced her to turn her head with irresistible force and stroked her cheek.
As soon as Ji Qingwu met his captivating eyes, he quickly lowered his eyes as if to escape.
She bit her lip, at a loss, and didn't even know where to put her hands.
Not knowing what he saw, he opened her palm in anger, frowned and stared at it for a long time. Ji Qingwu suddenly thought that Li Chengxun had touched this hand before, and he might have another attack...
She raised her finger slightly and said uneasily: "Your Majesty, Lord Li and I really don't have any private feelings. We were just in a hurry at that time."
After hearing her explanation, Emperor Wu Su's expression became even worse.
But noticing her panic and tension, he sighed and let go of her hand, saying, "Who do you think I am?"
Then he wrapped his arms around her soft waist and pressed her towards him with such force that Ji Qingwu could even feel the thin armor on his body slightly embedding into her body.
Although this close contact was a little painful, it made her feel completely secure.
Emperor Wu Su's chest heaved as he tried to calm down the surging emotions that were on the verge of exploding.
His lips were cool and brushed against her ear bone.
"I have never been so grateful to Li Chengxun as I am now. I am grateful that he still has feelings for you and rescued you first."
Ji Qingwu's eyes were fixed on his chest.
The deep voice continued to sink into her ears.
"You think about how painful it would be if you fell off a cliff, and you don't care, but you're not the only one who would feel the pain."
Ji Qingwu had a feeling what he was going to say and wanted to look up at him, but he raised his hand to press his head down and held it firmly in his arms.
Emperor Wu Su didn't want her to see the gloom and loneliness in his eyes.
He sighed deeply and said slowly, "Have you ever thought about how much pain I would feel, Awu?"
These words vibrated her eardrums and penetrated every bone in her body.
Will he feel pain too...
Ji Qingwu didn't mean to be a hero, but the situation was critical and there was no time for her to think more.
But now that she has done it, she won't regret it.
No matter what Princess Qingyun thought, whether it was gratitude or resentment, Ji Qingwu just wanted to make sure that when he thought of this scene in the future, he would not feel guilty for standing by and watching coldly.
But afterwards, Ji Qingwu felt very uncomfortable when he saw the emperor leaving the edge of the cliff.
The reason why she felt lost was that she was actually expecting someone to comfort her.
And that person, without a doubt, is him.
Emperor Wu Su lowered his eyes and looked at her hands. There were new calluses on the palms of her hands from practicing riding and archery in recent days, as well as redness and swelling from being scratched by tree branches.
He bent down and kissed the palm of her hand, an action that spoke volumes.
Ji Qingwu's eyes suddenly turned red, and not only his eyes were hot, but his heart also felt warm.
The pain at the tip of my heart turned into numbness entangled by emotions, and turned into another kind of uncomfortable and sore feeling.
Emperor Wu Su saw that her face was flushed, her breathing was rapid, and her brows were furrowed, and he thought that she was frightened by his expression just now again.
He restrained his emotions and asked, "You turned around just now. Do you have anything to say to me?"
Just as the horse stepped into the field, Ji Qingwu really had a lot to say to him.
But after being mixed up by Emperor Wu Su, her thoughts became unclear, so she started by talking about the first thing that came to her mind.
She said softly, "Your Majesty, why did you suddenly appear? I was so scared that I thought at first that a wild beast was going to take me away and eat me."
The corners of Ji Qingwu's lips curled up and his bright eyes curved.
She said she was frightened, but her tone was full of coquettishness.
