Chapter 267: Take a Breath to Extend Life
Chapter 267: Take a Breath to Extend Life
As night falls and the sky is dotted with stars, atop the imperial city, in a warm pavilion with carved beams and painted rafters, flickering candlelight casts a soft and ambiguous light and shadow throughout the room.
The light veil dances gracefully, fluttering in the wind, as if telling an unknown secret.
Si Jin, a prince as elegant as a bamboo, was now reclining on the couch, resting with his eyes closed, a barely perceptible trace of fatigue between his brows.
He was dressed in an elegant cloud brocade robe, with his sleeves fluttering in the wind, as if he was about to blend into the night.
Just as he was immersed in a moment of tranquility, a slight noise broke the silence in the room.
Before he opened his eyes, he felt a warm breath approaching. A figure approached quietly and gently pressed against his back. The familiar and slightly aggressive breath made his heart tremble.
"Jin'er, do you miss me?"
A low and magnetic voice sounded in his ears, with a hint of teasing and tenderness.
He opened his eyes and met the deep eyes of the man behind him. It was Chen Yuan, a man known as a mad prince by the world, but he had a heart that beat only for Si Jin.
Chen Yuan leaned over and buried his head in Si Jin's neck, greedily inhaling the breath that belonged only to him, as if this could dispel all the worries and fatigue in his heart.
"Take a breath of Jinjin to prolong your life. You were so heroic in the training ground today, and the way you shot the arrows really moved my heart. I almost wanted to hide you away, just for me."
His words were full of possessiveness, but also contained a hint of tenderness that was hard to detect.
Si Jin chuckled, stretched out his hand and pushed Chen Yuan, his voice lazy and doting:
"Chen Yuan, what tricks are you playing again?"
Although there was some blame in his words, it was more of a helpless indulgence of Chen Yuan.
Chen Yuan bit Si Jin's earlobe lightly, his eyes burning:
"I'm thirsty, but I don't want to drink water. I just want to drink Jinjin. Will you give it to me?"
His words were straightforward and bold, causing ripples in Si Jin's heart.
Si Jin thought to himself that this crazy prince really didn't play by the rules, but then he thought, this is deep in the palace, the emperor's warm room. If any noise really happened, it would probably cause unnecessary trouble.
However, facing Chen Yuan's eyes full of desire, he finally softened his heart.
He smiled slightly, moved his fingertips lightly, and used his divine power to explore the surroundings. After confirming that there was no one, he quickly set up a hidden barrier to isolate the two from the outside world.
"Here, but you have to remember, this is in the palace, so you have to be careful about everything."
As he spoke, he took the initiative to move closer to Chen Yuan, opened his lips slightly, and gave him a gentle and affectionate kiss.
.......
At that moment, time seemed to freeze.
The only thing left in Chen Yuan's eyes was Si Jin's figure. His kiss was gentle and domineering, wrapping Si Jin tightly with irresistible power.
Although Si Jin was surprised, he responded. Their breaths intertwined, their passion was like fire, instantly igniting every inch of air in the room.
However, the good times didn't last long. Si Jin's body finally began to show signs of fatigue from the days of exertion. He panted, a trace of guilt and worry flashing in his eyes.
Chen Yuan noticed his abnormality, stopped his actions with heartache, hugged him tightly in his arms, and warmed him with his body temperature.
"Jin'er, you're tired, let's take a rest."
He said softly, his tone full of tenderness and reluctance.
Si Jin nodded and snuggled into Chen Yuan's chest, feeling the long-lost peace and warmth.
He knew that although Chen Yuan was a careless and crazy prince in the eyes of outsiders, he was always so careful and gentle in front of him.
He has long remembered this deep affection.
"Chen Yuan, after tonight, I'm afraid we won't be able to see each other for a while."
Si Jin sighed softly, with a hint of helplessness in his words.
As a prince, he has his own responsibilities and missions, and often has no choice.
When Chen Yuan heard this, a trace of pain flashed in his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by determination.
"Jin'er, no matter where you are, my heart will always be with you. When everything is settled, I will take you away from this chaotic imperial city and go to a place where it's just the two of us, to live a peaceful life that belongs to us."
His words were soft but full of power and promise.
Hearing this, Si Jin felt a surge of warmth in his heart. He looked up at Chen Yuan, tears glistening in his eyes, but also with determination and trust.
"Ok, I will wait for you."
He whispered, and the two held hands tightly, as if at this moment, they had overcome all obstacles and barriers, their hearts were connected, and there was no separation anymore.
As the night deepened, peace returned to the warm room.
Si Jin and Chen Yuan slept in each other's arms, their breaths intertwined, weaving a sweet dream of their own.
In this prosperous imperial city, they seem like two lonely stars, but in each other's company, they shine the brightest.
When the first ray of sunlight penetrated the clouds and shone into the warm room, Si Jin slowly woke up.
He looked at Chen Yuan who was sleeping beside him, with a happy smile on his face.
Although the future is full of uncertainties, with Chen Yuan's company, he believes that everything will be fine.
Si Jin stood up quietly, dressed neatly, and left a letter on Chen Yuan's pillow.
He walked out of the warm room with light steps, his heart full of anticipation for the future.
At the palace gate, a gorgeous carriage was waiting.
Si Jin boarded the carriage, and the wheels rolled out of the palace.
He looked back at the palace that was getting farther and farther away, and secretly swore in his heart that he must protect his love with Chen Yuan, no matter how difficult and dangerous the road ahead was.
After Chen Yuan woke up, he saw the letter left by Si Jin.
The words in the letter were concise yet affectionate, filling his heart with warmth.
He understood that Si Jin must have an important mission to accomplish on this trip, but he firmly believed that their feelings could withstand the test of time and distance.
From then on, Chen Yuan and Si Jin each embarked on their own journey and worked hard for their future.
Their story has just begun...
