princesa xiangsi - Capítulo 68
Chapter 63 of "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer": You've Tried Again
The feeling of stepping on the wind—this is what it feels like to be so exhilarated!
Xiao Yuan lightly tapped the bamboo tip, and finally... she could also use the Lotus Dance.
Uncle Zhu and Uncle Lan restored her heart and lungs, and two months have passed, yet they still forbid her from seeing Pei Junwu and Yi Chunjun.
It's better if she doesn't see them. They're probably forbidding her from seeing them to prevent emotional distress from affecting her recovery, right? She... doesn't want to see them either. As long as she knows they're both alright, and that he... is still alive, that's enough.
Now that her identity was confirmed, both her senior uncles, Zhu and Lan, each passed on 30% of their power to her. For the past two months, she had been diligently learning from them, and it seemed she had achieved everything she had ever dreamed of. She... was truly a lucky person.
The bamboo forest is so vast; its continuous verdant color makes one feel open-minded and carefree.
She touched the bamboo tip and flew all the way. That's right, this is her dream!
A proud, pale blue figure swayed, and the already inexperienced lotus dance, coupled with the sudden fluctuations in her emotions, almost caused her to fall.
It was him.
When she saw him again, she couldn't discern what she felt. He had frightened her; the pain of losing him was so intense that she wanted to abandon everything and follow him. She hated it! She was also pathetic; her heart had been so naked and honest before him at that moment. He must have been so proud and smug that a woman was willing to die for him. She was furious with him!
But he was willing to give everything for her! All his skills, his life, his left hand... His excited, uncontrollable tone made her feel sweet whenever she thought about it.
He was digging for bamboo shoots, and a sharp pain shot through her heart. His left hand hung limply at his side, unable to move. She stood atop a high bamboo branch, secretly watching him, her emotions too conflicted to dare approach. What should she do? Continue to be angry, or embrace him and kiss him fiercely?!
Yes, she wanted to kiss him.
Pei Junwu… She gently bit her lip. Perhaps it was a mistake to marry him out of a sense of responsibility and pity in the first place. Because her heart could only hold this big bad guy squatting there digging in the dirt. If she were to make room for him as well, wouldn't that be torture for him?
But how could she repay him? Hadn't Pei Junwu given her everything? She didn't want to think about it anymore… It was precisely because she couldn't find an answer that she hadn't dared to see them for the past two months. She didn't dare to explain things clearly to Pei Junwu, nor did she dare to express her love for Yi Chunjun in front of him.
He picked up the basket and slowly walked towards the pool. She followed him silently, not wanting him to notice her.
His movements as he jumped onto the rocks below the waterfall were somewhat clumsy; the rocks were slippery, and he stumbled when he stepped on them.
She felt a pang of heartache again. That dashing figure who had soared over the walls of Chengdu was now reduced to this state by her. Serves him right! Who told him to scare her! He brought it all on himself!
As he washed, he suddenly became lost in thought. She stared at him, also stunned, before the small waterfall. He—he was so beautiful. Especially when his eyes gazed unfocused at one spot, those autumn-like eyes held affection and a smile, yet also a cold, aloof beauty—enchanting!
A small stone was washed off the cliff above the waterfall and landed in the water next to him with a "plop." Startled, he slipped and fell into the pool.
She couldn't help but laugh. Haha, seeing him in such a disheveled state was karma, she thought. She was going to wait right there for him to crawl ashore like a drowned rat. A stain! A stain for life! She would laugh at him for the rest of her life!
lifetime?
lifetime!
But... she panicked. He hadn't surfaced after all this time! He... she was about to cry. How could she forget that he had lost all his powers and his left hand was still useless?
"Yi Chunjun!" She rushed over in a panic, her movements clumsy and disorganized in her confusion. She had to step on the water for support, soaking her skirt completely. She collapsed onto the rock, tears streaming down her face. The water was clear, but because it was so deep, the spray from the waterfall created white waves that she couldn't see clearly at all.
"Yi Chunjun!" she cried, searching around.
Still nothing! Could he have already sunk? She…she can't swim!
A wave of dizziness washed over her, followed by a sharp pain in her ankle. She was dragged into the water, the cool water sending a chill through her. She sank! Her feet couldn't touch the bottom. Her hands flailed wildly, grabbing anything she could for support, clinging to it completely. It was surprisingly warm! Clinging to something, she could breathe freely at the surface. When she opened her eyes again, she saw his mischievous, smiling face!
I'm so angry!
She was absolutely furious!
Pinching him hard or twisting him hard won't vent your anger!
"You tricked me again! You tricked me again! Is it really that fun to scare me?" She angrily punched his shoulder and burst into tears.
His mischievous grin completely transformed into tender pity.
"I was wrong, I was wrong..."
Her sobs began as whimpers, suppressed in her throat by his kisses, a futile protest that gradually turned into passionate moans.
64. Focus a little.
He kissed her, his breathing gradually becoming heavier.
Xiao Yuan felt a tightening around his waist, and he actually pulled her up from the water, lightly touched the rock, and flew to the top of the waterfall.
Above the waterfall is a large expanse of huge rocks smoothed by water. The stream water, reflected by the surrounding green bamboo, is clear and blue, making a soft gurgling sound as it flows slowly and calmly over the rock bed, before cascading down the cliff face to form the waterfall.
"You..." Xiao Yuan frowned in confusion. Although his skills were not as good as before, he was still able to leap out of the water and use the water for leverage. He was by no means weak! Then...then...he deliberately pretended to stumble on the rock!
She was filled with anger again. He had already pinned her down on the sun-warmed stone beach, his hands restlessly slipping inside her soaked clothes. She punched him in the lower abdomen, and he groaned.
She kicked him off her and stood up angrily, "You lied to me, you just lied to me!"
He clutched his stomach, lying on the rock with a bitter smile. "Is it because you're stupid?"
"You!" She was almost crying with anger again, and stomped on his back. If it weren't for... if it weren't for... she should have stomped on his face!
"It hurts!" he cried out softly, his face turning pale.
She choked, how could she forget again? She now possessed 60% of the power her senior masters had given her, which was no small matter. Her kick... She frantically lifted her foot, bent down, and looked at him anxiously, "Are you hurt? Where does it hurt?!"
He stretched out his long arm and pulled her down onto the rock, pressing down on her as well. "It hurts here." He held her small hand and pressed it against his already erect and burning lower abdomen.
Her face flushed instantly. "You're disgusting!" She tried to pull her hand away, but he held it tightly. Even through her soaked, clinging clothes, she could feel his burning heat. He gently stroked her hand.
