Chapter 645: I Miss You (2/2)
Zhu Junyang didn’t push away the soft young maiden in his arms. He took a deep breath and calmed his heated and restless heart. He really wanted to marry and bring the lass home right now. If this happened a few more times, he definitely wouldn’t be able to stand it.
The young maiden’s attachment to him made him feel as if a feather had brushed over his heart. He had originally thought that all his efforts and feelings were one-sided. The lass seemed like a child who still didn’t have a clear understanding of love, and she was always laughing merrily without a care in the world.
Unexpectedly, he had gained a pleasant surprise from this separation. His feelings were finally reciprocated. The appearance of the little lass clinging to him reminded him of a kitten that he used to raise. When it was seeking attention, it would grab onto his trousers tightly and look as if it wanted to be caressed and hugged.
His heart was filled with a sense of happiness. Zhu Junyang hugged the young maiden’s slender waist and gently lifted the lass up. Xiaocao cried out in surprise, and then realized that her feet were lifted off the ground. Only when her view was suddenly shifted to be looking downwards did she notice that she was being lifted up in the air like a child. She had a sturdy and strong fiancé, who always surprised her.
Her surprised cry attracted the look of Wutong, who was inwardly muttering ‘look not at what is contrary to propriety’. She looked over and just happened to see a beautiful scene. Amongst the fluttering golden gingko leaves, a tall, strong, and handsome youth lifted a beautiful, petite, and lovely young maiden in the air. With the sun shining on their bodies, they appeared to be shrouded by a circle of light. That wonderful scene was unforgettable!
Looking at the bright smile on the young miss’s face, all the gloomy mood had been swept away. Wutong suddenly felt that Royal Prince Yang was perhaps the fated person that the heavens specially arranged for Young Miss. Only when the two of them were together would they be complete!
“Why did you get thinner again? Did you not eat properly?” After putting Xiaocao down, Zhu Junyang felt her thin arms, which seemed like they would break with a little force. Thus, he asked with slight dissatisfaction.
After Yu Xiaocao was put down, she stayed in her boyfriend’s embrace as if she had no bones. She replied in a coquettish manner, “Because I miss you ah! I didn’t have any appetite, and even ‘Buddha Jumps Over the Wall’ didn’t seem appetizing anymore. No matter how good the food is, I can hardly eat without you helping me get the food!” As she spoke, she stood on her tiptoe and kissed his chin.
“Cough!” Zhu Junyang was momentarily overwhelmed by his fiancée’s sudden outspoken words of affection. He lowered his head to kiss her small, red lips, and said, “It turns out that this prince has the role of serving food. How come I never knew?”
Yu Xiaocao suddenly showed a cheeky smile, which gave Zhu Junyang an ominous premonition. Generally, this kind of smile was a precursor of the lass’s mischief. Sure enough, she shook her head and said, “As the ancients said, ‘a feast for the eyes’!”
As she said this, Xiaocao reached out her right hand and pinched his sharp chin with her index finger and thumb. She revealed a lecherous expression and said, “Looking at this exquisite, gorgeous, and devilishly-handsome face, even if there aren’t any side dishes, I can still eat two more bowls of rice!”
In this world, this bold and mischievous lass was the only one who dared to tease him about his appearance. The last person who said he was beautiful seemed to have been bedridden for half a year. After that, that person always took a detour upon seeing him.
What could he do to the little lass that he chose himself? What’s more, he had this inexplicable sense of joy in his heart over the fact that she was attracted to his appearance.
“It’s my honor to be able to serve food to the future princess consort of Royal Prince Yang. Alright, you must eat at least three bowls of rice tonight. You’re not allowed to go back on your words!” Zhu Junyang decided to come to the Yu Estate for the next few days to supervise the lass’s meals. His next goal was to ensure that the lass regained the weight that she lost. If she got any thinner, she would turn into a stick of firewood. If outsiders saw her like that, they would think that he, Royal Prince Yang, was a miser who was unwilling to feed his wife!
Three bowls of rice? Yu Xiaocao glared at him with big, round eyes and complained, “Are you trying to make me eat until I burst? Be honest! Did you get hurt? Did the medicine I give you work?”
“The medicine that you gave me played a big role! But, don’t worry, it wasn’t used on me.” Zhu Junyang briefly recounted the chaos at the borders to her. It turned out that the rebellion in the northwest wasn’t a simple invasion at the borders by foreigners. There were actually descendants of the former dynasty involved in the conflict.
He hadn’t expected that martial art experts of the former dynasty were hiding within the thousands of troops. Among them, there was the big boss who used to train with Su Ran and had always been hard to distinguish. However, unlike Su Ran who had forsaken darkness for light, this fellow had fanatical supporter of the former dynasty. He was very loyal to the former dynasty, and thus held deep hatred for Su Ran’s betrayal. Therefore, he took advantage of the chaos to attack Su Ran, who was the army supervisor.
It was originally hard to determine who had the better martial art skills between the two. But, with the addition of petty and unscrupulous tactics, Su Ran almost lost his life in that man’s hands. Fortunately, Zhu Junyang was beside him at that time. Seeing that Army Supervisor Su was injured and about to die, he didn’t hesitate to use Xiaocao’s special internal injury medicine, giving them all to him.
