He held my waist tightly, urging me to be quiet, but I only shouted his name louder.
In a fit of frustration, he pressed me down onto the bed. “Peiyao!”
“Do you believe I’ll kick you off the bed?”
I wrapped my arms around his neck. “Jing Xun!”
His ears turned slightly red. “You…”
I chuckled softly and kissed his lips.
Jing Xun almost spent every day with me.
The concubines in the harem had become mere decorations, and even the nightly selection ceremony was omitted.
The Empress caught a cold and sent someone to ask Jing Xun to visit her.
But Jing Xun stayed by my side and didn’t go.
I sat on Jing Xun’s lap, eating the lychees he had peeled for me.
Outside, I could hear the Empress’s maid pleading with Miao Dongxu to let her into the palace.
I chewed on the lychee pit and asked him indistinctly, “Aren’t you going to check on Her Majesty?”
Jing Xun stared at my swollen lips, his gaze darkening. “The Empress is ill; I should show some concern.”
I lowered my eyes. “Then you should go.”
It seemed Jing Xun sensed my jealousy. He leaned down and kissed my lips gently. “I’m just putting on an act for the officials.”
“Don’t you remember?”
"You were the one who placed the Empress by my side back then."
I feigned surprise as I looked at him. "Really?"
"I don't remember."
Jing Xun sighed helplessly. "You..."
I wrapped my arms around his neck. "Are you really going to leave?"
"Not coming back tonight?"
Jing Xun kissed my temple. "I have to go for a bit."
"Don't worry, I'll come back as soon as she falls asleep."
"When I return, I won't go anywhere; I'll stay right by your side, okay?"
I lowered my eyelids and remained silent.
Jing Xun sighed again. "Peiyao, what do you want me to do?"
Seeing his helpless expression, I couldn't help but laugh. "I just want you to stay tonight."
Jing Xun pinched my cheek. "You're such a little enchantress."
"Alright, I'll listen to you."
"I'm not leaving tonight."
After Jing Xun left, I felt an emptiness in my heart.
This loneliness and solitude were something I had long grown accustomed to.
In the stillness of the night, thunder suddenly rumbled outside.
The sound of thunder echoed loudly, and lightning struck repeatedly.
I was so frightened by the thunder that I couldn’t fall asleep, and memories from last year flooded my mind.
At that time, Jing Xun and I hadn’t had our falling out yet.
When it thundered at night, he would hold me as we slept.
His warm body heat would soothe me into a peaceful slumber.
Now that he wasn’t by my side, I could only curl up alone under the blanket, shivering.
Outside, the thunder roared, and rain fell in a chaotic downpour.
I anxiously hid under the covers when I suddenly felt someone climb onto the bed.
That person grasped my wrist and pulled me into an embrace.
I thought it was Ling Shuang and was about to speak when I caught a familiar scent of Dragon's Blood Incense in the air.
I froze for a moment. “Jing Xun?”
Jing Xun chuckled softly. “Sister, it’s me.”
He caressed my cheek. “Why are you crying?”
“Are you really that scared of the thunder?”
My heart raced. “You…”
Jing Xun held me tightly in his arms. “Sister, don’t be afraid.”
"I'm here."
I listened to his words in disbelief, and suddenly a thought flashed through my mind.
Tentatively, I called out, "Xiao Jiu?"
Jing Xun paused for a moment before softly responding, "Mm."
I trembled as I said, "It really is you..."
Jing Xun reached out to touch my head. "Sister, it's me. I'm back."
Overwhelmed with joy, I threw myself into his embrace. "Xiao Jiu!"
Jing Xun held me tightly, gently patting my back. "Sister, don't cry."
"I'm right here."
He tenderly stroked my hair and placed a gentle kiss on my forehead.
Jing Xun's voice was a bit hoarse. "Sister, I've missed you so much."
His touch made me feel a little ticklish, and I instinctively leaned back.
Suddenly, Jing Xun leaned in closer, pinning me beneath him.
