Chapter 89 Who can withstand this...?
In the study room.
Jun Ce took out a jade box and handed it to Zhai Rongyu, saying, "Open it and take a look."
His deep, dark eyes were fixed on the girl's face. He slowed his breathing and looked at her with some nervousness.
I've been preparing for this for days, but I don't know if she'll like it.
Zhai Rongyu took the jade box, opened it, and saw a bracelet lying quietly inside.
She and Jun Ce exchanged a glance. "Is this for me?"
Seeing that he nodded, she took out the bracelet and held it in front of her eyes, examining it closely in the moonlight.
This is a bracelet with a translucent blue color, adorned with white locust blossoms. The scattered petals, illuminated by the moonlight, resemble stars. A light blue moon is also engraved in the center of the bracelet.
Her almond-shaped eyes lit up, her gaze filled with amazement.
What a beautiful bracelet!
【and many more……】
As she held the bracelet, she suddenly felt a warm, gentle force slowly enveloping her.
[This is... spiritual power?!]
She closed her eyes and carefully felt it.
The nourishing and moisturizing sensation becomes even more profound.
[It really is spiritual power!]
Although it's not much, it's enough to ward off evil and bring good fortune.
But... how could something like this be here?
She was a little confused.
But it was quickly overshadowed by even greater joy.
This bracelet is beautiful and practical; it's exactly what she wanted.
She narrowed her eyes, her lips curving slightly like crescent moons, and her almond-shaped eyes shimmered with tiny lights in the moonlight.
Jun Ce breathed a sigh of relief.
His lake-like eyes gazed at her dimples, and a smile unconsciously crept onto his face, his eyes filled with tenderness and joy.
As long as she likes it.
“This item is called the Star River Moon Shadow Bracelet,” Jun Ce said.
"The material was left to me by my mother. I specially found it a few days ago and made this bracelet for you."
I never thought I would ever take it out.
But looking around the world, there was nothing that could be worthy of her.
Only such family heirlooms are something that can be given away as a gift.
Jun Ce moved slightly closer to her.
"This material is made of spirit stones; wearing it can ward off evil and disaster."
Although he knew she was very capable, keeping something like this for self-defense was better than wasting his mental energy all the time.
"Thank you, I like it very much," Zhai Rongyu said sincerely.
"real!"
As if afraid he wouldn't believe her, she added another sentence.
Then he lowered his head and examined the bracelet closely, looking as if he really loved it.
Jun Ce looked down at her, his affection undisguised. "The pattern on it is a locust flower."
The day she got drunk, her body was covered in locust blossoms.
"Ok, I know."
Zhai Rong replied casually.
She turned the bracelet on her wrist, and the moonlight shone on it, making it truly shine like a galaxy.
That's a great name!
Jun Ce glanced at her with a hint of indulgence, then lowered his head and chuckled.
She didn't listen at all.
"I carved a moon on it, can you see it?" His voice was deep and pleasant, with an indescribable magnetism.
Zhai Rongyu looked at the bracelet, then at him, and obediently nodded.
So incredibly cute.
Jun Ce took a deep breath, suppressing the urge to pull her into his arms, and continued, "My guards are also called Moon Shadow Guards, and the moon on their heads is their identifier."
"Wearing this bracelet will allow you to freely command the Moon Shadow Guards."
"Really?!" Zhai Rongyu exclaimed with some surprise.
[Wouldn't that mean we'd have an ancient rider corps?]
[Free delivery!]
I love it!
Jun Ce smiled and nodded, then reached out and took the bracelet from her hand, speaking in a slightly hoarse voice.
"I'll put it on for you."
Zhai Rongyu looked into his watery eyes, somewhat stunned.
The initial excitement gradually transformed into a pounding heart, which finally turned into a blush that lingered on her face.
She let him take her hand.
Watching his hand cupped in his palm, the cool bracelet and his burning palm brushed against her skin, sending a tingling, itchy sensation through her.
Jun Ce helped her put on the bracelet, and then naturally took her hand in his, looking straight into her eyes.
His eyes were as deep as a pool, as if one look at them would drown you.
Zhai Rongyu's ear slowly started to burn.
"What...what are you doing..."
She struggled a little shyly, but Jun Ce held her even tighter.
"Rong'er, I have already informed the Moon Shadow Guards that even if you want to take my life, they will do so without hesitation."
His deep voice, as if pouring into his ear, had a hoarse, seductive quality that he himself was unaware of: "I entrust my life to you."
Do you know my feelings?
"Who...who wants your life?" Zhai Rongyu turned his head away and mumbled.
A few strands of hair from behind her neck slid down to her front as she turned her head, slightly obscuring her beautiful profile.
Jun Ce, somewhat out of control, raised his hand and tucked her hair behind her ear.
It wasn't until the calluses on their fingertips brushed against her delicate earlobe that the two of them snapped out of their daze and froze.
Jun Ce's Adam's apple bobbed silently.
Zhai Rongyu suddenly turned her head and looked at him with some seriousness.
"Have you thought about it?"
“I am vindictive and rude, not a proper young lady.”
"Do you really like me?"
Her eyes sparkled, and Jun Ce felt a surge of love in his heart, so he couldn't help but want to tease her.
He chuckled and said, "When did I say I liked you?"
"you!"
Zhai Rongyu withdrew her hand, somewhat embarrassed and annoyed.
He made a move to leave.
This is so embarrassing, so incredibly embarrassing...
Seeing her like this, Jun Ce couldn't help but tease her, so he quickly pulled her back and coaxed her softly, "Rong'er, don't go, I was just joking with you."
He composed himself, his eyes deep and earnest, and grasped her hand, saying:
"You say you are vindictive, but I find you to be genuine and adorable; you say you are rude and uncouth, but in my eyes you are unconventional, free-spirited and lively."
"You have the well-being of all people in your heart, yet you also cherish those around you."
"Compassionate and loyal, sincere and open-minded."
"In my heart, you are the best."
"Glib-tongued..." Although Zhai Rongyu was scolding him, the corners of her mouth unconsciously curled up, and her face was flushed.
"If I could speak, I wouldn't have made you angry just now," Jun Ce said in a low voice.
He doesn't understand love, and he's never felt this way in all these years.
I never imagined that one day I would be so emotionally affected by someone's gaze.
She was happy, and so was he.
Her worries made him feel a gloom in his heart.
This feeling is incredibly captivating, yet also incredibly sweet.
Jun Ce looked down at her, the bright moonlight falling into his eyes, its flowing light exuding extreme gentleness.
"Rong'er, I like you, I like you a lot."
"I like it so much that I can't eat or sleep properly."
"The first thing I think about every day when I open my eyes is to see you."
"But now that I've actually seen you, I don't know why I miss you even more."
"I don't know what's wrong with me."
"Rong'er, please help me, okay?" The magnetic voice trailed off with a seductive tone.
Zhai Rongyu reached out to cover his mouth, feeling utterly ashamed and furious. "You...you stop talking!"
Why is he so blunt...?
[Who can stand this...]
Jun Ce reached out and grasped her hand, his thin lips touching her palm. Zhai Rongyu felt her whole heart freeze in his hand, her mind going blank for a moment.
She stared blankly as Jun Ce grabbed her hand and held it in his.
You don't need to give me an answer now.
He looked at her, his eyes filled with boundless longing.
She had been upset today, and then he teased her. What if he rejected her?
He could shoulder the entire empire, but he couldn't bear her saying "no."
Jun Ce's breathing became slightly heavy as he suppressed the burning desire in his eyes, and he said:
"I will wait for you, no matter how long it takes."
