son, don't mess around

Jinxiu ran away!

When Jinxiu realized that His Highness had bad intentions towards her, she immediately slipped away.

It was just getting dark, and it was still early. Having been caught by Xu Lan several times before, Jinxiu was already very sensitive to this.

I will never believe Lin Jiangnian’s lies again!

Why no one came?

But I get caught every time!

Jinxiu, who was thin-skinned, naturally couldn't stand it and ran away.

After Jinxiu left, Lin Jiangnian saw that it was still early, so he got up and went out.

Now everyone has arrived in Chuzhou. As one of the most prosperous areas in the Daning Dynasty, the prosperity of Chuzhou gives people a sense of vanity from head to toe!
This small town, which is not far from Chujiang City, is just a small town in Linzhou and Yanzhou, but it is more prosperous in Chuzhou.

Now that night has just fallen, the city is already brightly lit.

The busy and lively streets are bustling with people! The hot summer cannot stop the enthusiasm of the people to live and work in peace and contentment.

The inn was quiet, shrouded in an indescribable emotion. The eldest princess was not in the inn, and Jinxiu had just run back to her room. Right now, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

Lin Jiangnian took advantage of the situation and came to the door of An Ning's room... He planned to have a good chat with An Ning again.

However, when Lin Jiangnian arrived at the door of An Ning's room, he found that the room was empty.

Lin Jiangnian immediately went downstairs and searched the inn, but still could not find any trace of An Ning.

"What about people?"

Lin Jiangnian looked puzzled and called the guard outside the inn. He soon got the answer from the guard.

"Miss An Ning went out alone earlier!"

"..."

Night falls.

This small town is prosperous and bustling, and the bright lights illuminate the night sky of the town.

The busy streets are bustling with people coming and going. A few streets away is the city's inner river. The light on both sides of the river bank is dim, and a few boats pass by in the middle of the river from time to time.

On the eaves of a riverside house, An Jing was sitting quietly, holding a sword in his arms, staring at the river not far away in a daze.

She was wearing a plain white skirt, pure and flawless, which made the temperament of this sword-holding girl look extremely bright.

The evening breeze blew gently, and the girl's skirt was gently swept by the breeze. The girl's legs were slightly bent, revealing a pair of delicate embroidered shoes and a piece of snow-white.

The girl just held the sword quietly, staring at the lake, in a daze.

Her long black hair was slightly tied up, with an exquisite hairpin passing through it to embellish it, while the rest of her hair was scattered and fluttering freely.

That fair little face seemed to reveal an unprecedented confusion.

The girl just stood there motionless, like a sculpture. It was completely silent here, with no movement or sound around.

Not far away is the bustling center of the small city.

This scene forms a sharp contrast!

And after this moment lasted for a long, long time, finally, some sound seemed to be heard, interrupting the tranquility.

The sword-holding girl came back to her senses slightly and lowered her eyes.

Under the eaves, by the river bank, a figure appeared at some point. He was leaning against the river bank, looking up slightly, looking at her lazily.

When their eyes met, the girl holding the sword seemed to come back to her senses suddenly. A trace of shame flashed in her eyes, and she subconsciously wanted to get up and escape.

"Don't run!"

Lin Jiangnian's words made the girl pause suddenly.

It seemed like he really forgot to run away!
"We're about to separate, where do you want to go?"

The sword-holding girl seemed to be stunned in place, and a trace of trance appeared on her originally shy expression. A little confusion now overflowed on the delicate little face of the sword-holding girl.

At this moment, it was quiet again!

The girl holding the sword was still sitting by the eaves, without moving.

Her eyes moved slightly, and finally landed on Lin Jiangnian. Her eyes were still shy, and they looked away quickly the moment they made eye contact.

Only this time, there seemed to be some other emotion in the girl's eyes.

It's hard to describe.

Lin Jiangnian leaned against the river bank and looked up at the girl holding a sword sitting on the roof. The two were in a very strange confrontation with each other.

This girl was naturally cold and lonely, and she was used to being alone. In addition to what happened during this period, she deliberately avoided Lin Jiangnian.

Ever since what happened a few days ago, Lin Jiangnian hasn't found an opportunity to have a good chat with the sword-holding girl again.

At this moment, An Ning suddenly ran out tonight and sat alone by the river in a daze.

Obviously, this girl is worried!
The reason for my worries is probably most likely related to him.

Lin Jiangnian understood, and his eyes fell casually on An Ning.

From his point of view, he could just see a girl holding a sword in a white long skirt, with her legs slightly bent. Under the hem of the girl's skirt, her delicate and small embroidered shoes and her snow-white and slender calves were clearly visible.

In the evening breeze, it appears and disappears from time to time.

You know what, this angle is pretty good!
"what are you doing here?"

Lin Jiangnian spoke first, breaking the silence.

However, the sword-holding girl did not say a word.

Seeing this, Lin Jiangnian suddenly jumped from the river bank to the roof and appeared next to An Ning.

An Ning's body tensed slightly, and she wanted to turn around and leave. As soon as she moved, Lin Jiangnian grabbed her hand.

"Let, let me go!"

An Ning seemed to suddenly become a little agitated and subconsciously shook it off.

Very hard!
He simply shook off Lin Jiangnian's hand, turned around and wanted to run.

But as soon as she turned around, Lin Jiangnian stepped forward and took her into his arms and hugged her.

As soon as he hugged the girl's waist with his hands, he could clearly feel her whole body stiffen and tremble.

Then, there was a violent struggle!

"Let, let go..."

The girl continued to struggle, her voice trembling and her emotions agitated.

Feeling extremely embarrassed and panicked.

"Don't move, or you'll fall!"

"..."

The girl didn't listen and continued to struggle.

Very hard!
Lin Jiangnian looked down at the delicate and shy face of the girl in his arms. Seeing that she was still trying to struggle, he leaned close to her ear and whispered, "If you move again, I'll kiss you again!"

As soon as these words came out, the girl's body stiffened, as if she was suddenly controlled. She stood there in a daze, not daring to move!

Her breathing was rapid and her face was flushed.

"no, do not want!"

As if she recalled the unforgettable memory from not long ago, the girl's body began to heat up slightly.

"Then stop struggling and don't move!"

Lin Jiang young spoke loudly.

An Ning just felt her head was slightly dizzy and blank.

The warm breath beside her ear seemed to pull her back. She wanted to struggle, but she didn't dare. Her delicate face was flushed with nervousness.

Her voice became a little trembling: "Let go, let me go...I, I..."

"I am afraid……"

Hearing this, Lin Jiangnian seemed to be stunned for a moment. He looked down at An Ning, only to see that she was lowering her head with a look of fear on her face.

As if he was frightened.

Could it be that he scared her?

Thinking of this, Lin Jiangnian felt a little guilty. He gently let go of the girl in his arms and took a step back.

"Sorry, it's my problem."

An Ning is thin-skinned and timid.

His behavior really scared her.

An Ning lowered her head, and when she realized that Lin Jiangnian suddenly let go of her, she felt a little relieved.

But what followed was an inexplicable sense of loss!

It was as if something extremely important had suddenly left her, causing her heart to suddenly tighten. She lowered her head and bit her lower lip tightly.

As I thought about it, my eyes began to turn slightly red.

"Hey...you, don't cry?!"

Lin Jiangnian was also confused.

Why is this little girl crying again out of nowhere?
Seeing An Ning's eyes flushed and she felt an indescribable emotion, Lin Jiangnian's sense of guilt instantly reached its peak.

He is a bit too bullying!
Taking advantage of An Ning's timidity, he pushed her even further. This time, An Ning was so angry that she started to cry!
Lin Jiangnian stepped forward quickly: "Don't cry, His Highness will apologize to you, okay?"

"It's all my fault. I shouldn't have bullied you..."

An Ning said nothing, but just stood stiffly on the roof, with her head lowered. There seemed to be something crystal clear lingering in her red eyes.

Finally, it slipped away quietly!

Lin Jiangnian was heartbroken.

This little girl is timid by nature, usually silent and keeps all her thoughts to herself. Normally, she seems fine, but once her pent-up emotions explode, it means that things are extremely serious.

Just as Lin Jiangnian was comforting the girl in front of him, An Ning, who had been keeping her head down, suddenly raised her head slowly and looked at Lin Jiangnian.

Crystal clear tears slid down the girl's delicate face, and she wiped them away. She stared at Lin Jiangnian with tears in her eyes, biting her lower lip tightly.

"I, I feel uncomfortable..."

The girl's voice was very soft, with a hint of hoarseness: "It's so uncomfortable here..."

An Ning's hand fell on her chest.

She was a little dazed and confused.

She is in great pain!

I can’t describe the pain I feel, it feels like I’ve lost something important.

It made her want to tell him.

Obviously, I could hide it before.

I wouldn't tell anyone before...

But this time, I don’t know why, I want to tell him.

I'd like to let him know.

I’ll think of… him!

“Uncomfortable?!”

Lin Jiangnian's expression suddenly changed: "You, what's wrong?!"

Why do you feel uncomfortable for no reason?
Could it be the aftereffects of the last injury?
"I, I don't know..."

The girl shook her head and said in a hoarse voice: "It's just that I feel so uncomfortable... very, very uncomfortable!"

"Let me see!"

Lin Jiangnian hurried forward, grabbed the girl's hand, and used his internal energy to test her physical condition.

The girl stood there in a daze, letting Lin Jiangnian hold her hand, her eyes fixed on him, staring at him quietly.

Lin Jiangnian's internal energy entered An Ning's body and quickly explored her physical condition.

OK, no problem!

After the last injury, An Ning recovered quickly and is no longer in any serious condition.

But why did she say she felt uncomfortable?

"you……"

Lin Jiangnian looked up and was about to speak when he met An Ning's eyes again.

When he looked at the girl's red, tender eyes, something in his heart seemed to be aroused.

Lin Jiangnian's heart trembled slightly.

He seemed to understand something.

"Still, feeling uncomfortable?"

"Ah."

Lin Jiangnian looked quietly at the girl in front of him, then slowly walked forward and held her in his arms.

This time, the girl in his arms did not put up much resistance. She just struggled a little and then stopped moving.

The girl didn't move, allowing Lin Jiangnian to hold her in his arms.

She lowered her head slightly, with her forehead pressed against Lin Jiangnian's chest, and closed her eyes. Her slightly flushed cheeks were faintly visible, and the girl's still slightly stiff body proved that she was nervous at the moment.

After a long time, the girl's stiff body slowly relaxed as time went by, as if she had gradually accepted it. And the pair of hands that had been at a loss at first slowly fell to Lin Jiangnian's waist, pulling at the corner of his clothes nervously, as if making some kind of silent response...

Still quiet all around!

There are bright lights in the distance, and the small town is prosperous and bustling!
And on this dark, silent and deserted roof, two figures hugged each other quietly, hugging each other tightly, as if they were cherishing the rare space of being alone at the moment.

……

Lin Jiangnian lowered his head slightly and looked at the girl who buried her head in his arms. She no longer looked as cold and stubborn as before.

Yes, there is only an expression that makes people feel distressed.

Through my nose, I could smell the pleasant fragrance of the girl, which was very fresh, mixed with a little scent from her black hair, and was extremely pleasant.

In the sight, one can vaguely see a hint of the side face between the black hair, and a bit of redness under the fair skin. The two people's skin is close to each other, and only separated by thin clothes, they can clearly feel each other's breathing and heartbeat.

The violently beating heart showed the extreme nervousness of the girl in his arms at the moment.

Lin Jiangnian still didn't move. He just kept this posture, hugging the girl in his arms and comforting her gently.

After a long time.

Gradually, he noticed that the girl's violently beating heart in his arms slowly calmed down, and her unconcealed rapid breathing also began to slow down.

"Still uncomfortable?"

Lin Jiang asked in a young voice.

The girl in his arms moved slightly, as if shaking her head.

really!

Lin Jiangnian understood that what made the girl uncomfortable was not her injury, but... him!

"it's all my fault!"

Lin Jiang sighed young, perhaps he shouldn't be so anxious.

We should take it slower and take it step by step, instead of scaring An Ning like we are doing now.

The girl tightened her grip on Lin Jiangnian's clothes, and seemed to feel the girl in her arms shaking her head slightly.

"how?"

"No, it's not..."

The girl's voice sounded a little anxious.

After another moment of silence, An Ning in Lin Jiangnian's arms struggled slightly and retreated halfway.

Then, she slowly raised her head, glanced at Lin Jiangnian, and quickly lowered her head again.

"Yes, it's my problem..."

An Ning bit her lower lip tightly, with an indescribable look of guilt on her face: "I, I shouldn't, I shouldn't..."

She wanted to continue speaking, but she couldn't utter a word.

It was as if something was stuck in my throat.

"No, it's my problem!"

Lin Jiangnian slowly reached out and held up the girl's face.

Her fair face was flushed, and her bright eyes were shy and dodging, but she had to look Lin Jiangnian in the eye.

Lin Jiangnian looked at her and said softly, "I shouldn't have bullied you so quickly. I scared you. This is my problem."

The girl was stunned.

"But we don't have much time..."

Lin Jiangnian still looked at her and said softly: "So, I don't regret it!"

"No matter what..."

Lin Jiangnian paused and his eyes became gentle.

"I will be responsible for you."
