princesa xiangsi - Capítulo 15
Yuan'er nodded. After a few days, she realized that Xiao Juyuan's martial arts skills weren't as strong as she had imagined. Although ordinary martial artists couldn't defeat her, she could only be considered a first-rate expert, not a top-tier one. While the gap between her and Pei Junwu wasn't worlds apart, it was indeed quite large.
Of course... that's something she can't compare to.
Perhaps, what Xiao Juyuan said was the reason: she didn't like learning martial arts. She... had never seen the beautiful sight of Fairy Ju dancing in the air, so of course she wouldn't have such a strong yearning for it.
Giving her such a great opportunity is a waste!
"You're not studying hard enough again." Pei Junwu opened his eyes after withdrawing his true energy. His calm tone carried a hint of doting affection despite his reproach.
"Brother Wu." Xiao Juyuan stood up, walked over and sat down next to him. "Can we go back now? This is so boring." She said coquettishly.
Yuan'er stared blankly to the side. Under the night sky, there were only stars, no moon.
"Is practicing martial arts just for fun? Yuan'er, you can't keep slacking off like this. Right now, you are..."
"Brother Wu." She covered his mouth, her eyes filled with tenderness. "I'm not afraid, I have you."
Yuan'er stood up and walked away without looking back. Disgusting! It was a dark and windy night, and she couldn't care less how the two of them flirted, but why did they have to do it in front of her?
Under the starlight, Huaxi Lake appeared exceptionally deep and mysterious, like a bottomless abyss. She casually picked up a stone from beside her feet and tossed it into the water; the tiny splashes reminded her of the "Flying Snow, Lingering Fragrance" technique he used when they first met…
I'm not afraid, because I have you...
Why did Xiao Juyuan's words sound so jarring?!
She stared at the small, dark patches on the lake's surface—lotus leaves floating on the water, which had grown considerably in just a few days. Frustrated, she frowned. She was determined to jump on them; she didn't care if she fell into the water! Her heart was ablaze, burning with aches all over her body; she desperately wanted to be immersed in cool water.
She had just taken off when she was pulled back forcefully.
"Xiao Yuan! You're doing this again!" She fell into his arms. When did he arrive? Where's Xiao Juyuan? Why isn't he with her? "The lake may not be deep, but there can still be danger!"
She frowned. Was this the only way he could say such cold and indifferent things to her? When Xiao Juyuan's hand covered his lips, he still looked gentle and seemed to be enjoying it!
He gave the huffing little one in his arms a strong shake, "Promise your senior brother, you won't do this again!"
She glared at him, not hearing a word he was saying.
He likes Xiao Juyuan, doesn't he? He's fallen in love with her, hasn't he? He actually developed feelings for that liar!
Enraged, she impulsively raised her hand and pounded his chest, each blow harder than the last. "Idiot! You're such an idiot!"
He held her tightly, making no attempt to block her fists. She... couldn't hurt him, and she was even angrier!
"Don't be childish. There's no use in being anxious. The only way is to practice harder. You've already made great progress." He smiled and encouraged you approvingly.
Childish? He thinks she's angry because she's worried about his slow progress?! What an idiot! Everyone praises him for being outstanding, so what's so smart about him?!
His eyes shimmered faintly under the starlight, calm and seemingly cold, but when he looked at her, they warmed her heart.
This man... is hers! He's her husband!
Yuan'er clung to his shoulders and kissed his lips as if punishing him. Did he know? Did he know that she was his wife?
He...responded and started kissing her back.
Yuan'er felt a surge of smugness and a hint of vengeful pleasure. He wasn't completely unmoved by her, was he? He didn't just see her as a junior sister, did he?
Suddenly, he pulled away from her lips and abruptly released her. Her body, already weak and limp, lost its support and was about to fall to the ground. He, who had been holding back and about to leap away, couldn't bear it any longer and raised his hand, using his deep inner strength to stop her fall, letting her gently land on the ground.
The chilly night air enveloped her entire body. What... had she done?!
Oh no... oh no...
She couldn't tell him the truth, couldn't reveal her identity! How could she explain her actions just now...? What would he think of her?
Why did she do that?! She hated it so much…
With his back to her, he said, "Starting tomorrow, I will have Yi Chunjun continue teaching you." After saying that, his white figure disappeared into the vast night.
What should she do now? Yuan'er had no strength left in her body. The coldness of the ground seeped into her entire being, but she couldn't get up.
She saw the pale blue hem... When Yi Chunjun picked her up, she was so numb that she couldn't even feel ashamed.
She knew he must have seen everything.
She leaned against his strong, powerful arms, her mind completely blank, nothing left!
"Xiao Yuan, why do you like him?!" Yi Chunjun said casually, even with a hint of teasing. This nonchalant tone actually had a somewhat comforting effect; at least in his view, things weren't that serious.
She turned her gaze back blankly, staring at his stunningly beautiful face. He wore a smile, and his eyes shone with a light she couldn't decipher.
"Xiao Yuan, you're using the wrong method." He chuckled softly, hugged her tightly, and let her tense little face rest against his warm chest. She felt greatly comforted and even wanted to laugh along with him, but... she couldn't laugh.
“From now on, you should discuss these things with me first. I know more about dealing with men than women.” He smiled, a knowing look in his eyes.
She leaned against his chest, took a deep breath, and felt much better.
“You didn’t fail, I saw everything.” He frankly admitted to his peeping, and seemed quite proud of it. Of course, it was already quite an achievement that Pei Junwu hadn’t discovered it. “He was much more enthusiastic than you later. Sigh, if I could get that kind of reaction from kissing him, I would have pounced on him immediately.”
"..."
"Xiao Yuan, Senior Brother Pei is indeed a bit difficult to deal with." He pursed his lips. "He's always thinking about his fiancée, but that's also a kind of charm. Sometimes resistance is more attractive, right?"
No, she wasn't attracted to him; she was just unwilling to accept it!
“You can’t be so direct with him.” He laughed heartily. “Pounce on him and kiss him, or drag him to bed, those aren’t good methods.” He said crudely and vulgarly, but this uninhibitedness made her feel incredibly relaxed.
At least in his eyes, her behavior was insignificant.
