The desolate beauty of the city was locked in a small square window, and inside the small window was a simple and elegant room. Although it was not carved with the luxury of the world, it was carved with the gentleness of the world--except for the existence of that person.
Hua Xiren narrowed her beautiful eyes and glared at the man in front of her unhappily. He had intruded into their conversation and even interrupted their conversation. He even sat down as if nothing had happened. She didn't know if he really didn't see her staring at him, or if his eyes were purely for decoration.
"Rushui, how have you been?" The man sat down beside Jing Rushui and put his arm around his shoulder as if they had known each other for a long time. However, those with discerning eyes could tell that there was something strange about it.
"I rarely enter the palace, so I'm naturally living well.”Jing Rushui removed his hand from her shoulder and told him her thoughts. "As for you, how have you been recently?”
"How can I live well without you?”The man laughed maniacally.
"Without me, you will definitely be better off.”Jing Rushui had a vague smile on her face, but her charming eyes seemed to be calculating something as a strange light flashed.
"Is that so?" The man raised his eyebrows and looked at him. His lips curled up, and then he said,"Which family is this beautiful lady from? How could I not have seen her before?”The way he looked at Hua Xiren was so presumptuous and domineering, as if he was sizing her up.
Jing Rushui glanced at him and smiled. "She's not a daughter of a famous family. Naturally, you've never seen her.”
"Oh, you've changed your habits."
"What habits do I have? Isn't this how life goes by?”Jing Rushui looked up at him again. "Gao Chi, the Heavenly Yuan Festival has just passed and you are so free that you can sneak out of the palace?”
Jing Rushui didn't show any emotion on the surface, but she was secretly annoyed that someone had come out of nowhere. Gao Chi was good at beauty, letting him meet Xiren was really the worst fortuitous encounter. He had to think of a way to bring Xiren back to the Mirror Flower House first.
"Hmph, there's nothing I can do. If I don't sneak out of the palace, what am I doing in the palace?”Zhu Gaochi laughed wildly, his long fingers caressing Hua Xiren's pink cheeks. "If I didn't sneak out of the palace, how could I have the honor of seeing such a beautiful woman?”
"Shameless!" Without any warning, Hua Xiren's palm landed on the man's cheek like a tsunami. "Who allowed you to touch me so shamelessly?”
Damn it, was she an eyesore to him by sitting alone?
Did he have any manners? His eyes were so big. Didn't he see that she and Jing Rushui intended to be alone, but he shamelessly interfered? She was already giving Jing Rushui face by not scolding him, but he actually shamelessly touched her face! Damn it, what did he take her for?
" You…" Zhu Gaochi's eyes widened in disbelief. "How dare you be so impudent to this king?”
"Who was the one who was impudent to whom first?" Want to roar? Come on, who's afraid of who? Her Hua Xiren voice had never lost to hers. "Who gave you permission to touch my face? Do you think I'm a firework girl?! King…Hmph, what's so great about being a king? Your Majesty…"
Eh, what does 'king' mean? Could it be…
"Xiren, you're too rude." Jing Rushui couldn't help but sigh. She stood up and grabbed the female yaksha, who was baring her fangs and brandishing her claws, and pulled her into her arms possessively. "Gao Chi, don't be calculative with her. She doesn't know anything and doesn't know the rules at all.”
Zhu Gaochi was surprised to see him reveal his desire for the first time, and he couldn't help but reveal a sly smile. "So you can also fall in love."
He thought that he would really be lonely for the rest of his life as he said, but he did not expect him to fall in love. He remembered hearing him say before the new year that a star that could change his future had fallen from the sky…Could it be this woman in front of him?
If this woman could change Jing Rushui's fate, she could also change him, right?
Jing Rushui lowered her charming eyes to examine Zhu Gaochi's strange expression and immediately knew that something was wrong. "I hope that you will give me face and not argue with her. I will visit you in the palace in the future, but I will return to the Mirror Flower House today.”As soon as he finished speaking, he pulled Hua Xiren out.
"There's no need to go through so much trouble. In the future, this king will personally drive the Mirror Flower Residence and go see you.”
Zhu Gaochi saw that he could not hold back and left, and he could not help but confirm his own speculation. The smile on the corner of his lips became deeper and thicker.
"Why did you stop me?"
After returning to the Mirror Flower House, Hua Xiren shouted in displeasure in the Mirror Pattern Building.
Bastard, what's so great about wangye? What law was there to speak of?
F * ck him, he actually dared to tease her in front of her! Damn it, he was really tired of living. Slapping him was already considered polite, but he was giving enough face to Jing Rushui.
"I don't want to lose you, but under certain circumstances, it's very difficult for me to protect you.”Jing Rushui's affectionate eyes narrowed, and his handsome face was filled with reluctance. "It's rare for us to meet in this world. How can I give up on you? If I can't protect you, I won't abandon you.”
In this world, life and death could only happen in a flash, but no matter what, he would put her first. As long as he could protect her, he was willing to pay any price.
"What are you talking about?" He was answering her questions? He said a lot of embarrassing words. Was he deliberately trying to make her speechless? "I'm not asking you that kind of thing. I just…"
She probably knew the historical background of this era, and of course, she also understood how easy it was for a prince to take a person's life, but would he be so petty? She had only slapped him once. How much strength could a girl have?
It was really too detestable to be calculative with her just like that.
"I won't blame you for being rude to him. After all, I can't tolerate him touching you so impudently.”Jing Rushui walked closer to her and reached out to hold her sharp chin. Her charming eyes, which were usually gentle like water, were tinged with a touch of anger. "In fact, I think you played very well.”
"Huh?" Hua Xiren was stunned.
He looked a little unhappy. Was it snowing outside? Although she had not known him for a long time, she knew his personality very well. She always felt that he was just like his name and had a calm personality. No matter how much she teased him, let alone frowning, she had never seen him smile. She did not expect to see him looking so unhappy. It felt like there was a huge difference between smiling and not smiling.
He was not angry, but he was imposing. His imposing manner was completely different from the impression he had given her.
" I don't like other people touching you. I'm the only one who can touch you…" Jing Rushui leaned closer to her, their auras invading each other.
In his previous life, he was willing to exchange his loneliness for this body of alchemy, but in this life, he wanted to use his alchemy skills to exchange for the company of a beautiful woman. Thirty years of lonely house arrest and having no one to rely on almost broke him down. He would rather exchange everything he had for her.
It was his fortune to be able to escape his lonely fate and obtain this beauty.
No one could take her away from him. He would do everything he could to protect her and would never let her suffer any irreparable harm because of him.
"Hey, what's wrong?" Hua Xiren flinched and avoided his terrifying gaze.
Seriously, she was used to seeing his gentleness. Seeing his sinister smile, she couldn't help but want to escape. However, he also wanted to know what had happened to make his expression change so drastically.
Could it be because she hit that prince?
But he said that she was good. If she was really good, why would he be so strange?
"Are you willing to stay by my side?”Mirror Like Water suddenly asked.
Even though he knew that she would stay for him in the future, his heart could not calm down before he saw it with his own eyes. Although he saw fate, what he saw did not mean that it was an established fact. After all, the time had not come, and what he saw was only an incomplete prototype.
He couldn't wait to hold her in his arms. Otherwise, who knew how long he could imprison her here?
"Did I say I wanted to stay?”Hua Xiren could not help but ask.
She had never said that she wanted to stay. The reason why she stayed in the Mirror Flower House was because she wanted to go back to the 21st century. When did she say that she wanted to stay?
What was wrong with him?
"Will you be willing to leave me? Are you still not moved by me?" Jing Rushui inched closer to her. His handsome and charming face kept approaching her, seducing her with a demonic aura. "Do you have the heart to abandon me and return to your world?”
She couldn't go back. In that era, she was already dead. If he sent her back to that era, wouldn't it be the same as asking her to die?
Since he wanted her to die, why not stay by his side?
" I…" What? She did not belong here in the first place. She should have returned to her own era. Otherwise, if she stayed here forever, who knew if her body would undergo any strange changes? Even if he had the ability to change her body to adapt to this era, she still wanted to go back…Mom was still waiting for her!
If he said that she was illusory, she would say that he was in a dream.
"Don't go, okay? Don't make me feel like you're going to disappear at any moment.”Jing Rushui murmured softly as if she was sobbing, rubbing her shocked lips with her lips. She was so affectionate that she could not take her eyes off her. "Xiren, stay, stay for me…"
Hua Xiren let him kiss her in a daze. She felt a hint of uneasiness flash across his usually handsome face, and her heart softened.
Seriously, she couldn't understand what he was saying. What did he mean by she could disappear at any time…She shouldn't have appeared in this era, right? Moreover, the person who should be worried about her safety was herself. It was not his turn to worry about her!
Moreover, wasn't he very godly? Since he was here, what was there to be afraid of?
However, the way he kissed her…Damn it, she should have pushed him away, but the way he looked and the sadness in him made it hard for her to resist.
She narrowed her half-drunk almond-shaped eyes and stared at his affectionate handsome face, letting his lips touch hers. She even felt his hot and wet tongue enter her mouth wantonly, wantonly provoking her retreating rationality and gently teasing her defeated reserve.
" Wu…" Hua Xiren snorted coldly.
Jing Rushui released her hands. "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?”
" My…stomach hurts…" Woo, it's happening again! Damn it, he was just saying it comfortably…
Jing Rushui immediately understood. "Do you want me to call Jue Yu over?"
"No need, I can handle it myself.”Hua Xiren's face was flushed red. She awkwardly put some distance between the two of them and said,""This way, you can send me back to the 21st century during this full moon, right?”
Counting the time, those who should have left at 15 o'clock would have left. At that time, it would be time for them to part. Anyway, she was going back anyway. When the time came, she would naturally leave. There was no reason to stay for anyone…
"You haven't fulfilled my conditions yet. Do you really think I'll let you go?”Jing Rushui smiled desolately with a hint of slyness. "If you really want me to cast a spell to send you away, you have to fulfill my conditions first. As long as you want to leave, I will immediately cast a spell.”
" Hey..." Did he have to do this?
"Have a good rest!" Jing Rushui smiled calmly and left.
"Hello?" Hua Xiren stared at his departing back with mixed feelings. "It's not like you can love someone just because you want to…"
Several days later.
After lunch, Jing Rushui sat alone in the Water Moon Dock. Her treacherous gaze seemed to penetrate the layers of curtains that fluttered in the cold and landed on an unknown place.
His expressionless handsome face was unfathomable, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.
He just sat quietly in front of the stone table on Mount Shoushan, his long fingers knocking on the stone table out of habit. He didn't seem impatient, but seemed to be calculating something.
He was determined to have Hua Xiren, and no one could change his mind. It was not only because of the guidance of fate, but also because he really fell in love with her and wanted to take her for himself. Therefore, even if Gao Chi wanted to snatch it from her, he would not give in.
However, Gao Chi's power was so great that it was hard to guarantee that he would not use his power to force them?
What method should he use to stop what might happen, or should he wait and see?
Actually, this matter was not that important. What was important was Xiren's heart. He could feel her wavering, and she seemed to be hiding a secret in her heart. There was something that made her want to return to her original world.
What could it be? He didn't expect that he couldn't see through this.
In fact, this marriage had always been strange. Although he had known about this many years ago, if he had not seen it with his own eyes, he would not have believed that such a thing really existed in this world.
He would never forget the first time he saw her.
It was as if a voice from the bottom of his heart told him that it was her. For her, he could give up everything just to exchange for her.
"What are you thinking? You didn't even know that I came in?”
A figure flashed into the Water Moon Dock, watching him deep in thought.
"Your Highness has arrived.”Jing Rushui smiled lazily and looked at Zhu Gaochi with her charming eyes, but she didn't get up to greet him.
"Hmph, you even know that Imperial Father has just decided to issue an edict?”Zhu Gaochi sat down next to him and was surprised to see the wine on the table. "What's wrong? You never liked to touch alcohol. Who did you break your vows for today?”
Could it be…for her?#
