Liu Yusheng vaguely sensed something from the man’s evasive answer.
After returning to the Flower Hall, Liu Yusheng reached out and wrapped her arms around the man’s waist, snuggling into his arms.
“Feng Qingbai, you’ve been imagining things, weren’t you?”
She could feel the contradiction under the surface of his blandness.
Feng Qingbai was speechless for a moment. He did not know that she was so perceptive to this extent.
He was indeed imagining wildly.
Since she came to his side, she could no longer feel the peace and harmony of Xinghua Village.
Beside him, only intrigues and trickery were left.
They have to be wary of people’s schemes at all times.
She was forced, from a carefree and naive girl into a schemer.
He should be happy when she bashfully evaded Consort Liu’s language trap, when she smiled and talked about rectifying the Fu mother and daughter, when she wisely escaped from Zuo Xuan’s Hongmen Banquet, but he did not feel happy at all.
He was the one who pulled her into this world.
For a moment, he had the urge to send her back to Xinghua Village, far away from him.
Her smile was only bright there.
The emotions floating in the man’s eyes rose and fell turbulently, complicated and obscure.
Liu Yusheng snuggled against the man’s chest, speaking softly and delicately.
“Feng Qingbai, when you left Xinghua Village last time, I did not even dare to go to see you off. I was afraid I would pull you and hold you back. That feeling of separation was too unbearable.
I thought that perhaps we could not see each other for a year or two after the separation, so I prepared myself to wait for you.
I didn’t think you would invite me into the capital in the name of being ordained. Do you know how happy I was at that time?
I wanted to see you. I wanted to stay by your side. I want to be with you.
Feng Qingbai, with you, I don’t feel any hardship at all. I’m not afraid of anything.
Feng Qingbai, let’s not separate anymore, all right?”
The young girl daintily confessed to him deep in his embrace.
She said, with you, I’m not afraid of anything.
She said, Feng Qingbai, let’s not separate anymore, all right?
Feng Qingbai’s heart was overwhelmed, and his eyes trembled.
He wanted to say yes but could not make a sound.
He wanted to hold her tightly, and his hands were shaking badly.
His chest heaved violently, brimming with surging emotions that were rolling and boiling deep inside him. Feng Qingbai even felt moisture at the corner of his eyes.
Shengsheng, Shengsheng…
He did not know how to release this emotion that was out of control, and could bend down and kiss her hard.
Their tongues danced and tangled, fervent and eager, as he tried to convey his response to her.
“Shengsheng, I love you… I love you… I love you…”
Over and over again, he whispered to her between the kisses.
He loved her, deep into his marrows.
Liu Yusheng closed her eyes, shyly and softly bearing in response.
I love you too, Feng Qingbai.
Very much.
The sweet honey that filled the entire Flower Hall was too dazzling and thick to melt.
Outside the window of the Flower Hall, servants occasionally passed by and inadvertently caught a glimpse at the scene inside. They immediately turned away, blushing as they fled.
There were also people who stole a few more glances before running away.
That was something they had never seen before, plus the King looked like another person.
Only in front of that young girl would he show that look.
Even the tips of his eyebrows were stained with affection for her.
Xue Qinglian had been lying in his room for a few days and felt like his bones have rusted.
Not to mention being poisoned, he was left starving and even unattended.
His bones were seamed with desolation.
The moment he could move, he immediately rushed to the Flower Hall to wait for a meal.
How could he have known that he would witness such a toothache-inducing scene?
Especially Feng Qingbai’s face, he hated it so much his teeth itched.
He was really tempted to rush in and wreak havoc, separating the two that were stuck together.
But he lacked the guts.
Feng Qingbai, that man was a beast in front of Liu Yusheng, but in front of him, he was a savage beast!
He couldn’t provoke him at all!
He has suffered several times. If he still hasn’t learned his lesson, his head must have been kicked by a donkey!
He squatted in the doorway and covered his stomach, looking at the sky with two bubbles of tears.
Please hurry up, someone is dying here.
Please give food!
His belly was rumbling. Xue Qinglian looked again at the couple who were kissing like crazy and decided on his next subject of research – a drug that could make people short of breath.
He hated how long Feng Qingbai’s breath was!
His legs were numb! But that beast, Feng Qingbai, wouldn’t even choke!
…
It was a quarter of an hour later when they finally sat down at the dining table.
Liu Zhixia was in the academy and would not return at noon, so there were only three of them at the table.
While waiting for the dishes to be served, Liu Yusheng blushed and kept her head low. Her lips were still numb. She didn’t have to look to know how swollen they were. This was not what she was most embarrassed about. The most embarrassing thing was when she was finally released and met someone’s bitter accusing eyes at the door when she turned her head!
She and Feng Qingbai had been watched the whole time!
Xue Qinglian did not look at the little girl and only glared at Feng Qingbai.
He felt that this guy was simply intentional.
He was such a big living person in the doorway, starving and spraying air through his nostrils until the end. He almost coughed to remind them. He didn’t believe that with Feng Qingbai’s keenness, he didn’t sense his presence.
He just didn’t want to stop kissing!
Shameless! Shameless!
“Next time, don’t squat at the door and watch. Don’t be rude.” The man only threw this sentence to him.
Xue Qinglian bared his teeth, “If you do not want people to see, you should go back to the room and kiss!”
Making out in the public, but also regarded the “public” an eyesore!
The man raised his eyes, and Xue Qinglian’s anger was immediately extinguished with a snap. “I’m starving to death. I came here to look for food, but who knew you would be here?”
“You can just go to the kitchen.”
“…” He must have been absolutely hungry and turned stupid!
Finally holding the rice bowl, Xue Qinglian chucked a lot of vegetables and stayed three feet away from Feng Qingbai.
That man was poisonous!
During the whole dinner, Liu Yusheng did not dare to look up. She was already too ashamed earlier, and the dialogue afterward made her pretty face burn hotter.
She felt too ashamed to face anyone.
This Xue Qinglian was really…Knowing that people were making out, he didn’t think of walking away!
“Hurry up and eat. Shengsheng is shy,” the man urged him.
Liu Yusheng, “…”
Xue Qinglian, “…” He was unwelcomed!
Once Xue Qinglian emptied his bowl, he straightened his spine and walked forward, then spread his hand in front of Liu Yusheng. “Lucky Nannan, give me a bottle of potion, and I’ll immediately disappear. I don’t want to see this man! He does not go, I’ll go!”
Liu Yusheng, “…” She took out a bottle of potion and silently stuffed it into Xue Qinglian’s hand.
He was so blunt for the first time.
She at least has to save some face.
She waited until he disappeared before daring to raise her head and raging at the man, “It’s all your fault!”
Gazing at the woman’s shy and bashful appearance, Feng Qingbai smiled, “Yeah, it’s all my fault.”
The doting deep in his eyes was too thick to melt, so that Liu Yusheng once again shyly lowered her head. The corners of her mouth, however, were hooked.
Meanwhile, a different scene was unfolding in the residence of Minister Zuo.
When Zuo Xuan returned to the mansion, the housekeeper brought her to the minister’s study.
Right after entering the door, a slap landed on her face.
“Pop!” The extremely heavy force hit her, causing her to stagger and for blood to trickle from the corner of her mouth.
“Grandfather…” She didn’t even dare to cover her face and whispered.
“It seems that you have never taken my usual teachings to heart!”
