It was known that people in archeology have conservative mind and Ji Yunshu wasn’t an exception. Ever since she met Jing Rong, she, a conservative maiden, was repeatedly taken advantage of.
Time slowly passed. Suddenly, Jing Rong asked, “Do you want to know what happened when I took you away from the conflagration?” His warm breath caressed her ear.
Caught by surprise, she shivered and didn’t respond.
Jing Rong hold tighter Ji Yunshu’s waist. His whole face was almost buried in her nape. He slowly narrated, “At that time, my only thought was that if I can save you, I will tightly hold you like this. As everything was burning, I thought to myself that if we were to die together, we could meet again in the underworld. At that time, I will seek King Yama and make him agree that in the next life, I won’t be born in the imperial clan and will meet you again. I believe he will be moved and let us walked through the Bridge of Helplessness, drink Meng Po’s soup of oblivion and jump into the pool of reincarnation together. Next life, we will be born in an ordinary house where we will work at sunrise and rest at sunset every day.”
His words may sounded strange, but it was full of affection. It made Ji Yunshu’s heart beat wildly. She furiously blushed and the redness slowly spread to the tips of her ears. Her body became intolerably hot.
Jing Rong continued. “I know that Ji Pei has occupied an important place in your heart. However, I am willing to wait… waiting until you will look at me.”
“Jing Rong…”
“You don’t need to say anything, just listen quietly.”
Ji Yunshu felt suffocated. Her petite figure was almost drown in Jing Rong’s embrace. He was tall; she was small. She no longer struggled and let him hugged her to his fill.
Time passed by and Jing Rong already fell asleep with his head resting on her shoulder. His even breathing brushing against her ear. This atmosphere was very peaceful. However, in contrast to Jing Rong, Ji Yunshu’s heart was disturbed and in turmoil because of Jing Rong’s words which keep reverberating inside her mind. It was not until late into the night that she could finally slumbered.
The next morning, when Ji Yunshu woke up, she was faced with Jing Rong’s affectionate eyes.
“You are awake? Did you sleep well?” His was voice was like jade, showing a lot of care.
Ji Yunshu lowered her eyes and immediately sat on the bed. She was about to get off the bed, but she was restrained by a pair of evil hands.
Jing Rong hugged her from behind. An evil smile spread on his face. “What are you so nervous for? This Prince didn’t even eat you last night.”
“Please let me go.”
“No way!”
“You-” Ji Yunshu was flustered. She freed herself from his clutch. Her gesture was akin to a kitten as she quickly got down from the bed. She lowered her head and furiously blushed from his gaze. “Your Highness take a good rest. As for last night… just think of it as if nothing happens.” As soon as she was done speaking, she ran to the door, opened it and caught the sight of Lang Po standing ramrod outside.
Seeing her out, Lang Po inwardly smiled while greeting her. “Good morning, Teacher Ji.”
‘Good morning your ass! You’re following other bad example!’ Ji Yunshu bite her lips, passed by Lang Po without answering and was about to leave the courtyard. Suddenly she stopped after a few steps because she collided with a woman who came inside the courtyard.
The woman was dressed in a blue silk gown. Her long hair reached to her waist and part of it was pulled into a hair bun. Her face, as big as a man’s palm, have delicate and beautiful traits and her makeup was light. Each of her steps was orderly pace, and both of her hands were held in front of her abdomen. Her demeanor clearly told people she came from a great family. Although she wasn’t a fairy, her elegant aura made it seemed like she was surrounded by a faint mist that make people feel cozy when near.
“Miss Kong?” Lang Po shouted in shock.
‘So that person is Kong Yu.’
While Ji Yunshu attentively observed her, Kong Yu also did the same. The person in front of her was adorned in man’s clothing. He had a pleasant aura and looked like a gentle scholar with a dignified appearance. For a handsome man, he had a majestic bearing. Unfortunately, that scar on his face ruined his appearance.
“Who are you?” Kong Yu’s line of sight met with Lang Po.
Lang Po immediately answered. “This person is Teacher Ji and his Highness’ noble guest.”
“Oh! So, you are that Teacher Ji?” Kong Yu softly said. She greeted him. “On my way back, I have heard many things about Teacher Ji. I also heard that the missing girls case in the capital has been resolved by you. As expected, you are someone with great wisdom. It’s no wonder that his Highness treated you as a noble guest.”
“Miss Kong don’t need to be so polite. This humble one is only a commoner.”
“Teacher Ji, you are too modest.”
Ji Yunshu wasn’t too familiar with Kong Yu. She supposed that if the woman appeared here, she was certainly coming to see Jing Rong. Ji Yunshu faintly smiled. “Then, I won’t disturb Miss Kong from visiting his Highness. Goodbye.” Ji Yunshu passed by her and quickly left as soon as she finished speaking.
Kong Yu smiled as she watched Ji Yunshu’s back.
Lang Po immediately came forward. “Miss Kong, may I ask what is your reason for coming?”
Kong Yu’s smile was replaced by an expression filled with worried. “Mo Ruo told me that his Highness was injured, so how can I not come?”
“Eh!”
Kong Yu lifted the hem of her cloth and went inside the room.
Jing Rong was incredibly happy because of how Ji Yunshu left him behind and escape. He was still smiling as he got out of bed and was planning to take his cloth hung on the partition screen.
“Ah-Rong!” Kong Yu called him.
When he heard the voice, Jing Rong looked out and saw the worried expression on Kong Yu’s exquisite face as she walked toward him. “Why are you here?” Jing Rong frowned and his tone was slightly heavy.
“Let me see. How serious are you injury?”
“I am fine.”
However, Kong Yu had already raised her hands and lightly brushed the bandage on his forehead. Tears were falling from her eyes as she said, “Does your head hurt? If Mo Ruo didn’t tell me, did you plan on hiding it from me forever?” There was a trace of anger in her tone.
Jing Rong stepped back to avoid her touch and looked at her. “I really have nothing. You don’t need to worry.” He lightly told her.
“Why do you treat me like a stranger after just one year of separation?”
“You are overthinking!”
If Mo Ruo and Jing Rong could be considered to grow up wearing the same pants, then Kong Yu and Jing Rong could be said to grow up hand in hand.
Kong Yu was a year older than Jing Rong, and she was like a big sister. Ever since they were young, she was always concerned about him the most. Jing Rong was also very close to her because of that. The only woman who could approach him before he met Ji Yunshu was Kong Yu.
Although their feelings were like those between siblings, as they grew up, Kong Yu believed that she will be Jing Rong’s consort. This belief became deeply rooted inside her heart with the passage of time.
It came to the point where Kong Yu often mentioned about it to Jing Rong. Every time, Jing Rong didn’t answered neither did he disagreed. At that time, he thought that she was only joking. Over time, everyone in the imperial family almost considered Kong Yu as Jing Rong’s consort. Then, one year ago, the day before Kong Yu left for Emerald Retreat, she gave him a genuine confession. Jing Rong suddenly realized that she wasn’t joking and that she sincerely wanted to be his consort.
“Kong Yu, I am already fine. You just came back from Emerald Retreat and it’s must be busy at your mansion. You don’t need to worry about me, you should hurry and go back.”
Kong Yu was disappointed. “You used to call me Yu’er.”
