Kiyomi Tsuki et son renard

Chapitre 109

"He's heartless..."

Soge suddenly chuckled and said, "It seems none of them are good words."

"Not entirely, you still have your strengths, don't you?"

What is it? (c1)

"..."

Why are you running?

Watching her figure disappear from sight, he shook his head and chuckled, but didn't chase after her. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly heard what sounded like her voice from afar: "Do you have any redeeming qualities?"

He was taken aback. No?

Unconsciously, he stood in the snow for a long time. Suoge was slightly lost in thought, and a faint smile appeared on his lips before he let it fall.

Is "Who else can you love besides me" her style?

It seems... that's his style too.

She seemed to have truly let go, but... had she really let go so easily? Was there not a single lingering attachment or lingering regret?

What is he thinking?

Suddenly...

He smiled calmly.

He tilted his head slightly up to look at the sky, the icy snowflakes brushing against his face... making him even more awake.

The first snow of the winter is heavy; it looks like it will snow all night. Tomorrow, Phoenix Mountain will have deep snow, and snow foxes will come out, making it a good time for hunting.

He tightened his collar, lost in thought, then shook off the snow before walking away.

After a few turns, he rushed out of the alley and arrived at the bustling main street of the capital. He slowed down, determined his direction, and headed towards the Tian residence.

Along the way, the heavy snow continued its relentless assault, covering everything it could, attempting to wash everything clean and turn it into a flawless white.

Pedestrians occasionally glanced at the sky, a faint look of pleasure on their faces.

Snow is a common sight in Beijing and nothing to be surprised about, but it is, after all, the first snow of the winter. The first snow of the year still brings a sense of anticipation and joy in waiting. Although its arrival foreshadows even colder weather, its pure whiteness makes it impossible for people to truly dislike it.

She looked up at the sky, letting the snowflakes fall on her hair and body, ignoring them. Suddenly, she imagined herself covered in snow, white eyebrows, white hair, white eyelashes. Heh, if she suddenly appeared before him, would she startle him? She suddenly thought of him, Long Ming…

At this moment, I felt a sense of ease and freedom I had never experienced before.

I never knew I could let go. And the feeling of letting go is actually so good.

Perhaps because I was in a good mood, I arrived at my doorstep without realizing it. Just as I was about to enter the mansion, I heard someone call out from behind: "Fifth Sister."

She turned around at the sound and saw her third brother—Prince Minglu.

When Minglu saw her, a look of surprise flashed across his face. He suddenly smiled gently, his gaze softening instantly. He took a few steps closer and reached out to brush away the snow that she had deliberately left in her hair.

At the same time, her whole body stiffened slightly, and she also felt his fingers stop. Suddenly, she felt a sharp pain in her heart, as if she had been stabbed by something. In just a moment, she looked up at him and smiled, saying, "Didn't I scare you, Third Brother? I deliberately left my hair full of snow to scare people! I'm so disappointed that you weren't scared."

Minglu suddenly smiled, a warm smile playing on his lips, and replied, "Aren't you afraid of getting cold?" He continued to brush the snow off her head. When his cool fingers touched her brows, Xiri looked up and met a pair of cold, phoenix eyes. Suddenly, she saw clearly... in her third brother's eyes, there were two people dressed identically. That meant, at this very moment, right behind her... there was someone who looked exactly like her! A realization suddenly dawned on her: the person behind her was Long Ming...!

While Fu Jin and Wanyan Gena were entangled outside Yunque Courtyard, Long Ming followed Suo Ge to chase after them, but failed to catch up. After searching for a while, he met Tian Shuang, who was also searching everywhere. Neither of them could find any trace of Tian Xiri, so they had to return to Tian's residence for the time being.

They both knew that as long as the misunderstanding was cleared up, Suoge wouldn't do anything to Tian Xiri. But why hadn't Tian Xiri returned for so long?

Long Ming was not one to sit idly by and wait for death. He decided to go look again, but as soon as he left the Tian residence, he saw Prince Minglu and Tian Xiri being all lovey-dovey at the entrance of the Tian residence.

He saw Minglu's hand stroking Tian Xiri's cheek, the two gazing at each other with deep affection...

As dusk fell, the snowflakes fluttered down on the two of them, dazzling their eyes, especially his, making him extremely uncomfortable—no, incredibly uncomfortable! He couldn't be more uncomfortable!

So, Tian Xiri wasn't with her cousin after all. No wonder it took so long!

Long Ming narrowed his eyes and stepped forward, no longer caring that he was wearing the exact same clothes as Tian Xiri, no longer caring that the guards at the Tian residence were stunned by his identical appearance, no longer caring about Ming Lu's cold gaze, and no longer caring about the consequences of his appearance...

Tian Xiri, who originally wanted to come back and scare him, was completely frightened by him at this moment.

At this critical moment, Tian Xiri suddenly turned around and lunged at Long Ming behind him. Not calculating the distance properly, he lunged too hard and ended up falling into Long Ming's arms. Without thinking, he took the opportunity to repeatedly punch Long Ming's back, a clear warning not to say anything rash at this time. Then he laughed loudly, saying, "Haha, Tian Shuang, I know I went too far and came back late, but you didn't have to come looking for me like this. You'll scare people."

Looking at Long Ming's expression, he was first greatly surprised, then he narrowed his eyes as if enjoying it. Although his back had been punched so hard by a certain woman that it made a hollow sound, anyone without martial arts skills would definitely have vomited blood and died. But when he thought of the soft and fragrant body that was throwing itself at him, ah, it was just an indescribable feeling. The scene of the two of them being so affectionate just now, well, well...

Tian Xiri didn't dare look back at her third brother, Minglu, and hurriedly said, "Tian Shuang, I'm so sorry to have troubled you. To keep it from my father, I always have to make you pretend to be me and stay in the mansion. I know it's hard, but didn't I tell you not to come out so easily? Look at us, we've scared the guards half to death and almost startled my third brother. Before my father finds out, let's hurry back home." As Xiri spoke, she casually tossed a tael of silver to each of the two puzzled guards at the door, instructing them not to tell anyone about what happened today and to keep their mouths shut. Then she forcefully pulled Long Ming inside, not forgetting to turn back to Minglu and say, "Third brother, please don't tell my father about what happened today, otherwise I won't be able to go out and play freely anymore. Third brother, wait for me for a while. Tian Shuang and I will go back to the backyard to change our clothes and come out in a bit." As she walked, she kept talking to Minglu, secretly pinching Long Ming's arm to warn him not to talk nonsense.

Fortunately, Long Ming did not speak, but stared coldly at Ming Lu with undisguised hostility.

Minglu's gaze swept over Long Ming, then turned to Xiri without making a sound, and said with a smile, "I'll be waiting for you in the front hall."

"Mm." Xi Ri nodded.

Afterwards, he dragged Long Ming, who hadn't said a word but had been staring at Ming Lu with hostility, into the backyard.

Upon entering the backyard, Tian Shuang, who had just returned, hadn't even had a chance to greet them when she saw the two, indistinguishable as the real and fake Tian Xiri, suddenly embrace. Tian Shuang was stunned for a moment before realizing that it was Young Master Long who had taken the initiative to hug Miss.

Just then, after a moment of silence... someone suddenly cried out, "Oh dear! My foot..." It was unmistakably Young Master Long's voice.

"I'll stomp you to death, how dare you take advantage of me!" It was definitely the prostitute's voice.

Tian Shuang finally figured out who was who.

Relying on his superior martial arts skills, Long Ming quickly moved closer to Xi Ri and whispered in her ear, "You were the one who threw yourself into my arms just now."
