Chapter 48: Prayer "Xue Zhiying, do you want to kiss?"
There was silence for some time.
Xue Zhiying turned her head away to avoid his fingers, then kept her head down and stopped talking, without shedding any more tears.
He looked like he knew he was wrong and felt guilty.
But she was thinking about the feeling of melancholy in her heart suddenly disappearing when she saw Xiao Yunqi's figure appear in the rain curtain just now.
She didn't want to be like this, but she couldn't help it.
The sound of rain outside the temple gradually grew louder, hiding all the secret thoughts in the haze.
Xiao Yunqi casually brushed away a water mark on the hem of his clothes, but the effect was almost negligible, and his whole body was soaked.
But even so, the noble man still did not look embarrassed, and his washed face had a unique temperament, deep and quiet.
He took a step closer to Xue Zhiying, stretched out a finger and lifted Xue Zhiying's chin.
"Why are you running away again?"
The tone of his inquiry was also very calm, as if there was no intention of blaming him.
But when Xue Zhiying raised her eyes, she still caught a hint of displeasure on his face.
Things were progressing just as she had expected, but she didn't have the confidence to speak: "I didn't run away."
"Yeah."
"As soon as I left, you slipped out and hid here."
"I'm here to have fun, not to hide."
"Playing here?"
As Xiao Yunqi spoke, his eyes swept around the dilapidated temple.
Xue Zhiying choked.
This place really doesn't look like a viewing spot at all. It would be more appropriate to call it a temporary shelter from the rain on the way to escape.
At first, Xue Zhiying didn't expect that Chuntao would find out about an abandoned temple.
But this wasn't impossible to explain. She just lowered her voice a little: "If I wanted to escape, why would I run to the mountains?"
Xiao Yunqi chuckled softly at her almost inaudible sophistry.
Xue Zhiying glanced at him secretly, then quickly looked away.
She felt as if her plan had failed.
She underestimated her own momentum in front of Xiao Yunqi. Not to mention turning the tables, even her previous explanation was not strong at all.
He came in the rain, but he was not angry with her.
The voices of Chuntao and Mu Yan talking could be heard faintly from the other side of the temple. It seemed that Mu Yan was reminding her, so Chuntao lowered her voice so that it could not be heard clearly on this side.
"Is it cold?"
Xiao Yunqi was originally looking sideways at the rain outside the temple, but the girl's sudden low voice made him turn back.
His eyes flickered across her slightly awkward expression for a moment, and he said calmly, "What do you think?"
“…”
Xue Zhiying just saw that the hem of his clothes was still dripping with water, so she asked subconsciously.
It is autumn now, and people usually wear thicker clothes. It is natural to feel cold if you wear cold and wet clothes.
But Leng had no choice, they couldn't leave at the moment.
Xue Zhiying pursed her lips and remained silent, feeling that she had asked a nonsense question.
Suddenly, Xiao Yunqi took a step forward.
The shadow pressing in front of him made Xue Zhiying look up in surprise.
She instinctively took half a step back and was approached by Xiao Yunqi. The two of them hid inside the stone statue together. They could not see Chuntao and Mu Yan on the other side, nor were they seen by them.
The light in the corner was darker, and behind him was a dusty stone platform.
Xue Zhiying stopped moving and could only let Xiao Yunqi get closer.
"W-What are you doing?"
Her soft voice inexplicably added a sense of secrecy and taboo to the atmosphere at that moment.
Xue Zhiying's cheeks felt slightly hot, and she intended to retreat again.
An arm stretched out from behind her waist to block her.
Xiao Yunqi said, "Why are you hiding? You saw the dust behind you. If you get close to it, your butt will get dirty."
"you……"
Xue Zhiying was annoyed by his straightforwardness, but it was indeed the truth.
Xiao Yunqi seemed to be soaked all over, so he didn't even move to hug her. Seeing that she didn't retreat anymore, he withdrew his hand.
Xue Zhiying asked: "Why don't you hold an umbrella?"
“It was raining when we got to the foot of the mountain.”
Xiao Yunqi paused for a moment, his tone changing slightly: "I was so busy going up the mountain to catch you that I didn't have time to take an umbrella."
"...What did you say to arrest me? I told you everything. I didn't run away."
"He didn't run away, but quietly left the mansion. Didn't he say he didn't want to go out this morning?"
Xue Zhiying said confidently, "Chun Tao told me about a temple that had great efficacious spirits. I changed my mind after hearing that I was interested. At that time, I didn't see the servants in the house, and I didn't want to wait, so I set off directly."
"What a temple that's supposed to be blessed with miracles." Xiao Yunqi looked up at the gray stone statue, his tone clearly teasing. "What do you want to pray for?"
His nonchalant tone made Xue Zhiying feel a little annoyed again.
She said dryly, "It's none of your business."
"Instead of asking for this stone, it is better to ask for me and I will make it come true for you."
After saying that, he quickly added: "Except leaving."
Xue Zhiying's eyes trembled, and her heart skipped a beat. Then, she didn't calm down after hearing the second half of his sentence. Instead, her heart was beating slightly in her chest.
Because she suddenly remembered all the things she had asked Xiao Yunqi for before.
At that time, she treated him as a god in the temple, and asked him for things she wanted to do and things she couldn't do.
But he was more fickle than the gods. To pray to him was not as simple as burning incense and kneeling in worship. One had to endure his teasing and ridicule, and one had no idea whether one's prayers would be granted.
But when I think back on it, it seems like everything has gone as I wished.
Xue Zhiying turned her head away: "I don't have any wishes to pray for. I just came to take a look after hearing Chuntao mention it."
She had originally wanted to say that her wish was to leave, but since she was excluded by him, there was nothing left for her to ask for.
But the thoughts that came to her mind while she was standing under the eaves just now made her mind confused.
For a moment, she didn't know if that was still what she wanted, and if that wasn't it, she didn't know what she really wanted.
The cold knuckles suddenly touched her cheek, causing her to flinch subconsciously.
But she was like being trapped in a narrow corner, with nowhere to hide, and the finger chased her, still pressed against her face.
"Why were you crying just now?"
Xiao Yunqi lowered his eyes and looked at her trembling eyelashes. He could clearly feel the skin under his fingers quickly becoming warm as soon as he finished speaking.
The girl's face was white with a rosy glow, warm and soft.
It was clearly he who was touching her, but he felt that he was being enveloped by her instead.
"Xue Zhiying, why are you crying?"
As he spoke, he found himself involuntarily moving closer to her.
The fragrance she inhaled was so captivating that it almost drew him closer unconsciously.
If I get any closer, I'll be pressed against her.
Xiao Yunqi could only stop and look at her with burning eyes.
"There's no reason, it's just a sudden emotion that comes out of nowhere."
This is half true, but there is really no reason for it.
At this moment, she still didn't understand why she felt that way.
Especially since Xiao Yunqi was too close to her, the heat that was not obvious just now suddenly became very strong, burning her cheeks and making her heart beat irregularly.
Xue Zhiying was worried that he would continue to ask questions. She couldn't answer and didn't want to answer, so she unconsciously raised her hand to push him away: "Don't get so close."
The palm of her hand felt wet and cold, and then a beating sound more chaotic and strong than her heartbeat hit her palm again and again.
Xue Zhiying was stunned and looked up to meet a pair of bottomless black eyes.
"Why can't you get closer?"
"Why are you asking so many questions? Please step back first."
"No retreat." Xiao Yunqi refused without hesitation, his voice low and deep.
He raised his hand and grabbed her palm in front of his chest, and asked abruptly: "Xue Zhiying, do you want to kiss?"
"……What?"
"I want to kiss you." Xiao Yunqi leaned forward and lowered his head. "I want to kiss you."
His aura came over her with such force that it enveloped her in an instant.
Their lips were about to touch, but Xue Zhiying saw him lower his eyes and fix his gaze on her lips.
This momentary pause was his chance to give her a chance to refuse.
But the opportunity was fleeting.
It's almost to the point where it's completely unpredictable.
Where is the chance to refuse.
He held her lips and pried them apart in an instant.
"Clothes..." Xue Zhiying refused vaguely.
He would get her clothes wet too.
He bit the tip of her tongue, as if to punish her for her dislike of him.
But Xiao Yunqi did not hold her tightly anymore. His big hand was on the back of her neck, tightening with unbearable restraint.
Xue Zhiying was forced to raise her neck high to endure the kiss.
The man's hand moved along her smooth skin from the back of her neck to the front.
Her neck was slender and delicate, allowing him to hold it in one hand.
It was as if it was holding her lifeline, and just a slight tightening would make her unable to move and have difficulty breathing.
The extremely deep kiss from the beginning made Xue Zhiying so difficult to stand that she almost couldn't stand even though their bodies were not touching.
Only then did she realize that in the past, when he held her in his arms and kissed her, although he pressed down on her more and more, it was much easier than it was now.
She leaned back unconsciously, and when her buttocks hit the stone platform, she let out a pitiful whimper. She didn't know if it was because he kissed her too hard, or because she remembered the dust stuck on her buttocks.
But soon, I no longer had time to think about the reason.
Xiao Yunqi lowered his head and kissed her forcefully and roughly.
They exchanged saliva and intertwined their breaths, the sounds suppressed in this secret corner, and drowned out by the sound of rain outside.
He still got her wet.
He couldn't help but hold her waist, pinching and kneading her with uneven strength.
Xue Zhiying sensed his change and subconsciously raised her knees to move him away.
But it reached him.
This caused Xiao Yunqi to gasp: "Don't touch me."
His voice was low and hoarse, the tail end of it swallowed up by the kiss that was still going on.
He told her not to do it, but still kept her knees pressed there.
Increased force, crushing, moving.
Just as he was about to lose his sanity, a voice suddenly came from the other side of the statue.
"Master, the carriage is here, we can go down the mountain—hiss!"
The footsteps stopped suddenly, Mu Yan took a deep breath and turned his back.
"...You may now go down the mountain. I will be waiting for you at the gate with Chuntao."
After saying that, Mu Yan left in a panic.
Xiao Yunqi took a half step back and let go of the girl he had held in his arms.
Her lips were rosy red, and were perked up by kisses. Her lips were full of water, and her eyes were sparkling, making her look alluring and addictive.
Xiao Yunqi took a deep breath, took a half step back and then regretted it.
"Kiss me for a while longer."
He lowered his head and wet her: "Don't reject me."
