Chapter 228: Stealing a Kiss
Jing Qiushui has been in Jingkong Gate for three days.
In the past two days, Jing Qiushui and Chu Xiang have been playing together in the garden pavilion to please the young master.
Yu Sheng is such a strange person, neither saying too many beautiful words to compliment her, nor doing too much action.
Jing Qiushui couldn't help but wonder, didn't he put himself under house arrest in this gilded cage just to see her often and let her please him? Why the delay?
"Because the young master doesn't want to be rejected by you, he wants you to take the initiative first." Chu Xiang said this to her after playing this morning and after Yu Sheng left.
She didn't think so, Yu Sheng, as the young master and the top of the Jingkong Gate, had always had the best everything, and he always showed off his might in the martial arts, as if he was afraid that others would not know his ability.
"That's just a means for the young master to show deterrence, Miss Jing, you shouldn't be that simple, right?" Chu Xiang said with a smile.
This Chu Xiang is also a heretic, even her, an outsider, can see that he has no respect for Yu Sheng at all, although he is kind on the surface, but Chu Xiang is a person with a strong personality.
"Are you people of the Silent Void Gate so bold? Isn't this a blatant violation of the royal prince and a provocation to his authority? Jing Qiushui asked.
"Hehe, the young master, I chose you to show favor to him, and he will also think it is a provocation. That man was really too arrogant. Chu Xiang smiled meaninglessly, then looked at Jing Qiushui, and said, "But Miss Jing, you should still be able to make the young master open his heart." β
"Me? No kidding. β
"Who's kidding? We are big men, the young master has already seen through it, and it is not challenging at all. We are like this, and the dynamic checks and balances in this door are nothing more than that, even you outsiders can see it, do you think the young master really doesn't understand? He knows that we don't need to be wary of what we are when we are the most natural and natural. β
"Hmm." Jing Qiushui said, she can still understand this, "It's a bit like the way of those nobles and celebrities who ran their families when Brother Liu went to the palace to participate in the national competition. β
"Hehe, why not?" Chu Xiang said, "So, Miss Jing, you are the bold one, so openly expressing dissatisfaction and even hatred for the young master, deliberately embarrassing him, he doesn't have any displeasure, doesn't it show that he likes you very much?" β
Jing Qiushui's cheeks swept crimson: "Like me?" How could it be, he is such a noble and arrogant person, I am just a person from a pianist's family, and I am still an adopted daughter. β
"But he just fell in love with you," Chu Xiang restrained his smile and turned to a sad look, "Alas, but it's a pity, I also have a good impression of you." Can it just be like the sound of the piano between my fingers? β
ββ¦β¦ "......It's no secret that Chu Xiang and Yu Sheng have a good impression of themselves, and the people here, including her companion Wu Tianxiao, have known it from the beginning, and have always known it; But Jing Qiushui still felt embarrassed. After all, she and Jingkongmen have only met a few times.
"We should be partners in cooperation, or you can treat the young master as your musical disciple," Chu Xiang said, "I, even if I am the one who assists him, I am also your assistant." How is it? The relationship between us is not just a stranger. β
"This ...... The little woman really couldn't afford it. Jing Qiushui's attitude was very indifferent, but his tone was still very polite, "I'm really flattered." But our camp is still quite different. β
"Really?" Chu Xiang said, "I haven't said anything about our camp. These concepts are all imaginary of you. Or, it's the imagination of those behind you, you don't care. β
"How can I not care?"
"Don't let other people's ideas get you in the way. Miss Jing, do you think you are really that different from us? In fact, we are very similar people, so the young master and I will take a fancy to you. β
"Then you're wrong."
"Is it us who is wrong?" Chu Xiang said patiently, "The similarity between you and us is extremely high. Didn't you even notice this? Don't pretend to play a game with us. You and I both know it, and even our attitude towards the royalists in Cangyan City is the same. β
"How can a young woman in my country understand the affairs of Xiao Han Country?"
"Hehe, don't be modest." A trace of resistance, suspicion, and dissatisfaction flashed in Chu Xiang's eyes, "Is there anyone else you know better than that person's thoughts?" β
"Who do you mean?"
"Hey, do you really want me to say it?" Chu Xiang raised the teacup and took a sip, his eyes cold with displeasure and disdain, "That dashing and handsome prince has already taken your attention away from us." β
Jing Qiushui felt that her cheeks were even hotter than just now.
Seeing Jing Qiushui's reaction, Chu Xiang seemed to be more sure, and said, "It's been said." Come to think of it, even if our Jingkong Gate is a well-known existence in the whole country - and even overseas, even if our strength is among the best in the world's martial arts, it can't compare to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who directs the country, right? β
Jing Qiushui opened her lips slightly, wanting to say something, but she didn't say it.
The sound of a teacup being placed on the table.
Suddenly, he stepped forward and brought the two of them closer.
He stared at her slightly surprised purple eyes with affectionate eyes, which were mixed with many thingsβhurt, cold, and complicatedβand said, "But since you have come to us, you don't want to escape easily......"
The distance between the two was too close and ambiguous, and Jing Qiushui could even smell the good smell of forest wood on him.
"......" Jing Qiushui calmly followed his gaze.
Chu Xiang didn't wait for her to react, and immediately touched her lips.
At the moment of being kissed, Chu Xiang closed his eyes, while Jing Qiushui's eyes widened.
Just a few seconds later, Chu Xiang immediately retreated. The Seven Realms
Jing Qiushui was still stunned and looked at him without saying a word.
"Forget it," Chu Xiang let out a long breath, "The young master won't mind anyway." β
But thinking that he had just secretly kissed this purple-eyed beauty, he inevitably felt a little happy in his heart.
It's really not like me, I don't even take the initiative to attack the person I like. Chu Xiang thought.
"Have you always been like this?" A sweet female voice came from my ears.
"What?" Jing Qiushui's voice called him back from his contemplation.
"Have you always done this to the people you like?"
"What's the matter, is it difficult, do you still think that I will always have a crush?" Chu Xiang seemed to find this idea funny.
ββ¦β¦ You've always been so literate, and of course it makes people think that you'll hide your love in your poems. β
"Yes," Chu Xiang smiled lightly disapprovingly, this moment actually made Jing Qiushui feel that he was a little charming, "That's also something that can't be helped, right?" With such a dictatorial boss as the young master in control, Chu and I can't even show any of my feelings. β
"You...... But you are not at all what you say, and you dare to do it in front of him. β
"Ah, you found out, didn't I say that the young master likes us like this, without pretentiousness. It also shows that we have a good relationship with him. β
"Really?" Jing Qiushui's tone was full of suspicion, "Why do you make me feel so ...... Contradiction. β
"Hehehe, you'll soon get used to being here, getting used to us."
"Maybe it's not a good thing, it's customary to ......," Jing Qiushui said, and then looked sideways, as if the fact that he was kissed just now was completely thrown behind the clouds.
Chu Xiang peeked at her and looked at her carefully, as if he wanted to see through her heart.
However, Jing Qiushui's face was expressionless, and his body seemed to relax from the slight stiffness just now.
I saw her feel the gentle breeze, closed her eyes, and took a deep breath, the wind and the fragrance of flowers, making people feel very comfortable.
Maybe she'll love it too? Chu Xiang thought. β¦β¦ Before you like us.
Anyway, he kissed her just now.
If he was discovered by that Wu Tianxiao, he should be killed, right? Chu Xiang thought of this and smiled bitterly. What if it was seen by the young master? The young master...... He knew that if the role was reversed, the young master would let him see the scene where he asked her, and the young master would look at himself while smiling.
What a control freak. That person.
A suspicious smile appeared on his lips. Jingqiu Waterway.
"Huh?"
"Aren't you afraid that I will tell the prince and then be hunted down by him?" Jingqiu Waterway.
"Hehe, you wouldn't tell him this." Chu Xiang seemed to be quite confident.
"Are you so sure?"
"Yes, what kind of person Miss Jing is, Chu knows very well."
"Do you think you know me like that?"
"Miss Jing is not the kind of long-tongued woman who is full of resentment, not only reasonable, but also wise, and ......"
"You're trying to say that I'm actually a loser-prone character, right?" Jing Qiushui said politely, "Besides, it's cheap for you to take advantage of." However, I'm not one to be easily threatened by such a thing as reputation. β
"Well, why do you say that," Chu Xiang closed his eyes slightly, his long eyelashes were very good-looking, "I don't mean to take advantage of you." It is...... Your temperament makes me can't help it. β
"As a high-level protector of the Silent Void Gate, there are more beautiful women in the world than me......"
"Perhaps, but few people can make me so impulsive."
Jing Qiushui looked at him.
"Everyone in the world may want to know who the woman I can take a fancy to is." Chu Xiang said, "I often hear people talk about this kind of thing. β
"Hmm......" Jing Qiushui said absentmindedly. She had indeed heard of his name in the martial arts, not only strong in martial arts, but also personable, powerful and elegant, there were women everywhere who fantasized about becoming him, as well as countless elders who dreamed that he could become their son-in-law. "You're really welcome."
"So, Miss Jing, you should feel lucky."
