Chapter 236: Should we do something else to take our relationship to the next level?
The moonlight was like a silk thread, covering the ancient imperial city like a veil. In the night, two figures quietly shuttled between the staggered eaves. They did not act stealthily like ordinary assassins, but instead added a bit of the tenderness of a fairy couple under the moon.
The clouds are hidden and the wind is gentle, as if they are the most gentle witnesses between heaven and earth, crowning this unknown secret feeling.
Xiao Jinchen, the prince who has always been known for his iron-blooded tactics, now let down all his guard, with an unprecedented gentle light flashing in his eyes.
He stopped and turned to look at the person next to him - Li Jinghuai, the son of the prime minister who also held a high position but was famous for his wisdom. The two met by accident, and since then, the threads of fate have been quietly intertwined and can no longer be separated.
"Jing Huai,"
Xiao Jinchen's voice was deep and magnetic, and it was particularly clear in the silent night sky.
"Have you ever thought that fate in this world is so wonderful?"
Upon hearing this, Li Jinghuai curled up the corner of his mouth into a faint smile, and looked into Xiao Jinchen's eyes deeply, as if they could see into the deepest secrets in each other's hearts.
"Jinchen, for me, meeting you is the greatest luck in my life."
Before he finished speaking, a breeze blew by, lifting their clothes and stirring ripples in their hearts.
Xiao Jinchen suddenly took a step forward, closing the distance between them. He licked the slightly dry corner of his mouth. It was an unprecedented impulse that drove him to do something he had not even expected - he gently leaned closer and placed a gentle kiss on Li Jinghuai's lips.
......
Unlike every previous touch, this kiss was free of any affectation or disguise. It was pure and sincere, like a flower that had just bloomed in spring, without any embellishment, yet possessed a breathtaking beauty of its own.
Xiao Jinchen's kiss was serious and devoted, as if he wanted to pour all his emotions into it, proving his cherishment and determination for this relationship.
Li Jinghuai was stunned. He had never thought that this prince, who was always cold and ruthless in front of outsiders, would have such a gentle and delicate side.
His heartbeat involuntarily accelerated, resonating with Xiao Jinchen's chest. It was an unprecedented feeling that made him feel both strange and extremely familiar, as if the two of them were supposed to be so compatible.
"Jinchen..."
He murmured softly, with an imperceptible tremor in his voice. It was the first time in his life that he felt the presence of another person so closely, so deeply, so truly.
Xiao Jinchen said nothing, but hugged Li Jinghuai even tighter, as if he wanted to merge him into his own bones and blood.
The kiss lasted for a long time, until both of them's breathing became rapid and their cheeks flushed, and then they reluctantly separated.
"Jing Huai, do you feel it?"
There was a hint of smile in Xiao Jinchen's voice. He reached out and took Li Jinghuai's hand, pressing it gently on his heart.
"My heartbeat resonates with yours. This is the tacit understanding and deep affection between us, isn't it?"
Li Jinghuai looked at Xiao Jinchen's eyes full of sincerity, with complicated emotions surging in his heart.
He couldn't refute it, nor did he want to refute it, because this feeling was also so precious and hard-earned to him.
He nodded, a determined gleam in his eyes.
"Jinchen, I am willing to believe in this relationship and face everything in the future with you."
His words were soft, but as firm and powerful as a vow.
As the night deepened, the two walked side by side in the corridor, the moonlight stretching their shadows long, as if telling a story of a love that transcended the mundane world and beyond life and death.
Xiao Jinchen suddenly stopped and turned to look at Li Jinghuai, with a hint of teasing and anticipation in his eyes.
"Jing Huai, since we have already kissed and you have felt my sincerity, then... do you want to do something else to take our relationship to the next level?"
His tone was teasing, yet sincere.
Upon hearing this, Li Jinghuai's cheeks turned redder. He glared at Xiao Jinchen, but he couldn't hide the smile in his eyes.
"Jinchen, you are always like this, catching people off guard."
He complained, but his body involuntarily moved closer to Xiao Jinchen, as if he was responding to the other party's invitation with his actions.
The following time seemed to have deliberately slowed down its pace.
They strolled in the moonlight, sharing each other's dreams and past, and talking about their aspirations and plans for the future.
Whenever their eyes meet, they can see full trust and love in each other's eyes. It is a tacit understanding that can be deeply felt without words.
Late at night, when everyone was asleep, the two finally returned to Xiao Jinchen's residence.
The flickering candlelight illuminates the warmth and romance in the house.
Xiao Jinchen gently pulled Li Jinghuai's hand, led him to sit on the edge of the bed, then slowly knelt on the ground, took out an exquisite jade pendant from his arms, and solemnly handed it to Li Jinghuai.
"Jing Huai, this is a relic my mother left me, and it is also one of my most precious things. Now I give it to you, I hope you can understand my feelings."
His voice was low and sincere, and every word seemed to come from the bottom of his heart.
Li Jinghuai took the jade pendant and felt its warmth, as if he could feel the tenderness and love of Xiao Jinchen's mother.
He looked up at Xiao Jinchen, his eyes filled with emotion and joy.
"Jinchen, I will definitely cherish you."
Xiao Jinchen stood up, walked to sit beside Li Jinghuai, and gently took his hand.
"Jing Huai, from today on, you and I will be the closest companions in this world. No matter what difficulties and obstacles we encounter in the future, I am willing to face them with you."
Li Jinghuai smiled and nodded, holding Xiao Jinchen's hand tightly.
"Jinchen, I feel the same way."
The two looked at each other and smiled, and a thousand words were expressed without words.
At this time, the moonlight outside the window became brighter and brighter, like a silver plate casting a bright light all over the ground.
The soft light shone through the window lattice and fell on the two of them, as if covering them with a layer of holy glory.
On this beautiful night, two hearts embraced each other tightly and made an eternal promise.
