Jing Rong didn’t make any single movement.
“Jing Rong, I’m sorry! I’m really sorry. You have to wake up. Otherwise, I won’t be able to forgive myself for the rest of my life.” Drop by drop, her cold tears fell on the back of Jing Rong’s hand. The cold sensation seeped through his flesh, and seemed as if it entered through his veins, slowly cooling him.
His heart shivered, gripped by the subzero sensation. Yet the next instant, it abruptly turned into a heat that burnt him silly. ‘Ji Yunshu is crying because of me! That’s right! Her heartbroken tears was for him! Is it because she feels guilty or is it due to another reason?’
Ji Yunshu wiped her tears and took a deep breath. She grabbed Jing Rong’s wrist and was planning to put it under the quilt when suddenly, Jing Rong’s hand grabbed her fingers and brought it to his chest.
“Eh?!’ Ji Yunshu was scared. Then, she saw Jing Rong opened his eyes and he stared at her with infatuation.
His devilish smile beamed at her as he said, “Since you owe this Prince, you can offer yourself to pay me back.”
“…”
It took him a moment to support himself up with difficulty. He added, “Fool, didn’t I tell you before that I won’t die?”
Ji Yunshu could finally reacted. She realized that she had fallen into his trap! “You liar!” She pushed him away as soon as she was done shouting at him and tried to get up.
“Urgh!” Jing Rong grasped his chest and frowned.
Upon seeing his reaction, she dispelled the thought of getting up and sat back. She anxiously inquired, “Did I touch your wounds? I really didn’t do it on purpose.”
“Are you worried about me?”
“I only… Ah!” She didn’t finished her sentence as Jing Rong lifted the quilt. He then grabbed her slender waist in a flash; pulled her toward him before dragging her under the quilt.
She didn’t even have the time to struggle and was already held by Jing Rong, under the covers of his quilt. Jing Rong tightly hugged her, his chest pasted to her back and his chin resting on her delicate shoulder.
“What are you doing? Let me go!” Ji Yunshu twisted and turned, struggling to free herself.
Jing Rong’s lips brushed against her earlobe and he whispered, “Don’t move. I’m hurting everywhere.”
“…” As expected, she stopped struggling in order to avoid hurting Jing Rong. She bit her lips and nervously said, “It’s best if your Highness release me. If others see us like this…”
“It’s unlikely that anyone will enter.” He flatly replied. After a moment, his mischievous smile reappeared. In a tone suffused with some anger, he spoke. “By the way, do you remember what I said before? If you acted impulsively without any regards to your safety, I will throw you on the nuptial bed and have my way with you.”
Oh no! She fell right into the beast’s clutches.
At once, Ji Yunshu struggled again. “What kind of nonsense is this?! Let me go!”
“I said I’m hurt all over. If I faint again, I will hold you responsible.”
“You hoodlum!”
“Stay calm or I will immediately strip you and let you taste Heaven on Earth.”
‘Heaven on Earth? Like the sketch?’ Ji Yunshu’s mouth arched down and she felt uneasy. That injured brute unexpectedly wanted to imitate the tiger throwing food at the hungry wolf. Was that the main point? Ji Yunshu almost rolled her eyes at him.
Jing Rong held her waist tighter and they both nestled under the quilt, stuck to each other in an ambiguous position, as if they were a loving married couple.
