Chapter 1968: Chapter 981: Late-Night Tenderness (Xinyang vs. Xiao Ji Extra)
Is this guy pretending to sleep?
Princess Xinyang felt terrible; if speaking those words in the cave was just a minor embarrassment, then what she did now was truly…
How could she be caught doing such a thing! Does she have no sense of shame?
Princess Xinyang was so angry she could almost burst; she glared fiercely at him: “Why are you always ?”
“Always like what?” someone asked, teasingly.
Princess Xinyang found herself at a loss for words, she was usually not dumbfounded, but always ended up speechless whenever she encountered Xiao Ji.
She decided to ignore him; otherwise he might recover, but she would end up injuring herself internally from anger.
“Qin Fengwan.” Yet someone wasn’t ready to let her go that easily, “Though I understand your long-standing desire for me, given my serious injuries now, you’ll have to make your own move if you want anything.”
Princess Xinyang: “!!!”
Can someone give her a hammer!
She wanted to crush him!
She had originally laid down, but once again, his words made her prop herself up with her elbow, glaring at him through the hazy night, gritting her teeth: “Xiao Ji! Don’t think that just because you’re hurt, I won’t do anything to you! I warn you, if you continue to speak so carelessly, I will… mwah—”
In the darkness, Xiao Ji lifted his injured hand, domineering yet gently clutching the back of her head, pulling her down toward him.
Her soft lips abruptly fell upon his slightly cracked lips.
She had never been this close to him while fully awake; her mind went blank.
The whole world seemed to quiet down, with only the sound of her own pounding heartbeat remaining in her ears.
After their lips touched, Xiao Ji didn’t make the next move.
He patiently waited for her to adjust, ensuring that it didn’t trigger any bad memories before he truly began to kiss her.
It was a lingering deep kiss.
Princess Xinyang was completely bewildered.
Was this really possible?
Her heart was racing, her chest felt full, and she was almost out of breath.
He slightly released her, his voice hoarse: “Idiot, change your breath.”
“C-can’t change it,” she was about to faint, her entire body warming up, face flushed as if bleeding.
Xiao Ji chuckled teasingly: “Heart beating so fast?”
Princess Xinyang placed her hand on his chest, muttering with a flushed face: “Yours is beating just as fast.”
Not even slower than hers.
It was truly unfair; obviously, both hearts were racing, yet only she was nervously disheveled, while he remained calm as if nothing happened.
Sure enough, in this kind of thing… is there a natural advantage?
Xiao Ji looked at her who was leaning lightly on him, a sly smile on his lips: “Qin Fengwan, next time you steal a kiss from me, do it to this standard.”
“Who wants to steal a kiss from you?” Princess Xinyang muttered, lacking confidence, her face reddening further.
She laid down next to him angrily.
Outside the house, the snow was falling, the cold wind howling.
She touched her soft lips, reminiscing his deep kiss.
It was… very enjoyable.
Snowflakes fell throughout most of the night.
Princess Xinyang’s heart kept pounding until she fell asleep; it was a feeling she had never had before.
Very unfamiliar, yet very beautiful.
Her emotion and breath unintentionally influenced Xiao Ji, whose unexpected teasing was the deadliest.
Unfortunately, Xiao Ji was injured to this extent, unable to do anything excessive, and could only sleep obediently.
Meanwhile, Long Yi struggled to track down their whereabouts, but due to the disparity in underground and above-ground terrain, it took him three days to find the exit to the cave.
During these three days, Xiao Ji rested and recuperated at the old woman’s house, with Princess Xinyang giving away all valuable possessions to her.
As the saying goes, pay the money, and solve the problem.
The old woman claimed she was injured and bought several sets of Herbal Medicine and some specially made Ointment from the village’s healer.
And surprisingly, it was quite effective. Nᴇw novel chapters are publɪshed on 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭•𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘦•𝘯𝘦𝘵
Xiao Ji’s fever subsided, and the injury gradually improved.
However, on the third night, an incident occurred—a group of Dongyi soldiers suddenly appeared in the village.
At first, the pair thought these Dongyi soldiers were there to capture them, but later realized that was not the case.
They surrounded a carriage, seemingly escorting someone of status.
When that person got off the carriage, the pair secretly peeked from a small hill behind the hut, and discovered that it was a man wearing a bamboo hat and cloak, covered from head to toe…
