Chapter 645 - I Miss You (1/2)

Zhu Junyang was fl.u.s.tered and hurriedly pacified the pet.i.te maiden who was going through an emotional breakdown in his arms. He softly said, “Don’t cry. Don’t cry. It’s this prince’s fault. I shouldn’t have scolded you as soon as I saw you. If you’re unhappy, hit me a few times. Don’t cry until your beautiful eyes are swelled. This prince’s heart will ache ah!”

“Waahhh~~~I miss you. I really, really miss you! I think of you when I eat. I dream of you when I sleep. When I see you now, I wonder if I’m dreaming and you will disappear again when I wake up. Waahhh…you’re so hateful. As soon as we got engaged, you left me in the capital and disappeared. Were you enthralled by the young maidens of the northwestern tribes, and thus reluctant to come back?”

At the beginning, Zhu Junyang was moved when he heard her words. His little la.s.s finally understood, and his feelings were finally reciprocated. But he didn’t know whether he should laugh or cry when he heard the latter part of her words. She was indeed his little la.s.s; the sentimental feelings only lasted for three seconds.

“Good, be good! Today isn’t a dream. This prince is right in front of you. In the future, this prince will take you wherever I go and never leave you by yourself. Don’t cry. Don’t cry anymore…how can those young maidens of foreign tribes be as lovable as my little la.s.s? This prince likes you so much, so other women are the same as the men in the army in my eyes!” Zhu Junyang held Xiaocao’s face and wiped the tears on her face with his somewhat rough fingers.

Yu Xiaocao raised her head and looked at the delicate and enchanting face in front of her. There was a sense of pity in his charming phoenix eyes. His plump red lips parted slightly, producing a pleasant voice. This must be a dream. How could someone who had been in the army and out in the battlefield in the northwest for over a year become even more good-looking?

Like an open faucet, the tears in her clear, big eyes kept flowing down along her eyelashes. She sniffled her nose, lifted her own little hand, and opened her mouth to bite down on it.

Zhu Junyang acted swiftly and blocked her action with his own hand. He had a smile on his handsome face as if it wasn’t his hand that was being bitten. He even joked to lighten up the mood, “What? There’s no one to bring you ‘braised pig trotters’ when this prince isn’t in the capital? You want to eat it so much that you’re actually gnawing on your own hands. It’s no wonder that you got thinner again. Do you not eat properly when this prince isn’t around? You should be punished!”

“Waahhh~~~” Xiaocao, who had just stopped crying, started crying again. This time, her cries sounded even more sad, wailing endlessly.

“What’s wrong? I won’t punish you! I won’t punish you! How can this prince bear to hit you? Only you can hit me. If this prince makes you unhappy, I’ll be willing to let you beat and punish me!” As he spoke, he held Xiaocao’s small, tender hands and hit himself a few times.

“Waahhh…it doesn’t hurt when I bite my own hand. I’m indeed dreaming again…” Xiaocao couldn’t stop crying. As soon as Wutong saw her young miss rush towards Royal Prince Yang, she had cleared out everyone in the courtyard and quietly retreated far away. At this time, Xiaocao and Zhu Junyang were the only ones in the huge courtyard.

Upon hearing her words, Zhu Junyang didn’t know whether he should laugh or cry. He showed her the small teeth marks on the back of his hand, saying, “Silly girl, you were biting this prince, so how can you feel the pain? There’s no way that this prince will let you get hurt; even if you’re the one biting yourself!”

Yu Xiaocao stared at the teeth marks for a long time, and then stopped crying with slight embarra.s.sment, “This time, it’s really not a dream?”

“It’s not a dream! This prince is back and I’m really standing in front of you. If you don’t believe me, then…why don’t you pinch my face?” Since Zhu Junyang was three years old, he had firmly rejected others pinching his face. He was also desperately opposed to Xiaocao pinching his face in the past. At this time, he actually offered to let Xiaocao pinch his face, which immediately caused her to feel that this situation was unreal again.

Looking at the la.s.s’s wrinkled up face and tears welled up in her big eyes, Zhu Junyang didn’t know what to do. With a sudden thought, he bent down and stopped the young maiden’s loud cries with his warm, full lips.

Yu Xiaocao opened her eyes wide open, and clearly saw the scorching affection within his enchanting, bright phoenix eyes. His lips, which were soft and carried a pleasant scent, were tightly pressed against her lips. The sudden kiss was filled with a deep sense of longing and full of emotions. It was like a violent storm that took her by surprise.

His strong and powerful arms held her slender waist tightly as he pulled her into his embrace, leaving no gaps. Their lips made contact and their tongues instinctively entangled together. He caressed her back with his hands, and then lifted her silky hair. He gently rubbed the soft skin on the back of her neck, pulling her closer to him.

His kiss was gentle yet domineering. The fresh breath from his lips made her feel dizzy and intoxicated as if she was drinking wine. Putting aside all her reservation and worries, she wrapped her slender arms around his beautiful neck and closed her eyes in a comfortable and sweet manner. At this moment, the emptiness within her heart had been filled up, all her confusion was dispelled, and all her thoughts had turned into a breeze that gently wrapped around him.

After an unknown period of time, Xiaocao’s engrossment was interrupted by the sound of heavy breathing. The touch on her lips disappeared and she was gently pushed away, creating a distance. She pouted her lips and kissed him again. It seemed like only this close contact could calm her heart.
