Playing bad and eating melons: The whole court is laughing? No, no

Chapter 310 Are you willing to be with me?

"what?"

Lu Yunting took out a jade pendant in the shape of a necklace from his arms. "Originally, I wanted to wait until next year's Lantern Festival to formally express my feelings to you. But now, I don't want to wait any longer."

He handed the jade pendant to Jiang Yueyang and said, "This is the jade pendant my mother left for me. She asked me to give it to... the person I like."

Jiang Yueyang lowered her eyebrows and looked at the jade pendant in his hand. It was an oval piece of white jade with pear blossoms carved on the surface. Lu Yunting knew what she was thinking as soon as he saw her expression. He smiled and said, "My mother also likes pear blossoms very much. This jade pendant was carved for her by my father himself."

Jiang Yueyang said "oh" and looked up at Lu Yunting, her eyes full of shyness and nervousness.

"Yangyang." Lu Yunting swallowed nervously, "I love you."

Jiang Yueyang was stunned. She thought Lu Yunting would say something like "I like you" or "Please be with me", but she never expected it to be the three words "I love you".

Although only five or six breaths had passed, Lu Yunting felt like a long time had passed. He couldn't help but ask, "Are you willing to be with me?"

Jiang Yueyang stared at him for a while with flushed cheeks, then slowly took a step towards him.

While he wasn't paying attention, she raised her hand, grabbed his collar, and pulled it down. Her red lips pressed against his thin lips, taking a quick sip before pulling away.

“That’s my answer.”

Lu Yunting's pupils dilated, and after a moment of silence, he curled up the corners of his mouth.

One hand clasped the back of her head, and the other hand fell on her waist, gently pushing her against him.

Finally, he leaned in and kissed her.

His lips touched hers lightly, his movements extremely awkward and clumsy, without any skill at all.

Just like a child exploring the unknown world for the first time, he is cautious, a little flustered and nervous, as well as reluctant and greedy.

After Jiang Yueyang came back to her senses from her shock, she slowly closed her eyes and tried to respond to him.

Both of their hearts were beating rapidly and their breathing gradually became hot.

It was not until Jiang Yueyang was almost out of breath that Lu Yunting reluctantly ended this unskillful but addictive kiss.

Then he held her in his arms, buried his head in her slender neck, his voice low and hoarse with a charming smile.

"Yangyang, remember to breathe next time."

Hearing this, Jiang Yueyang's already hot face became even hotter, and she felt extremely shy.

She hit his chest lightly and snorted, "You're not much better than me."

"Well... let's study together then."

Hearing this, Jiang Yueyang became even more shy, puffing up her cheeks and pouting, "Who wants to study with you?"

"You~"

"Stop talking."

Lu Yunting chuckled softly, his voice gentle and tender, "Yangyang."

"Ok?"

"I love you."

Jiang Yueyang smiled and said, "I love you too."

Hearing the same response, Lu Yunting was ecstatic and couldn't help but hug her tighter.

The two hugged each other for a long time before separating, and Lu Yunting put the jade pendant on Jiang Yueyang.

Jiang Yueyang pinched the jade pendant, gently rubbing the pear blossom pattern on it, and said softly, "It's really beautiful."

"Yangyang, thank you for coming to me."

Jiang Yueyang raised her eyes to look at him, "You're welcome. I'm not as dignified and gentle as other girls, so I hope Ah Yue will bear with me in the future."

"Yangyang, very good."

The two smiled at each other and hugged each other again.

***

Jiang Yueyang woke up from a sweet dream, hugged the quilt and rolled over shyly for a few times before she calmed down and sat up.

She took out the jade pendant and looked at it, and the scenes that happened last night emerged in her mind.

They are really together.

At this moment, the system, which had been silent all night, suddenly spoke.

[Host, the compensation for mental damage you requested has arrived, please check.]

Jiang Yueyang sank into consciousness, and then saw a gift box floating in the empty air.

She reached out and tapped the gift box, and a green light came out from inside.

As soon as the green light was freed from the gift box, it entered her body from her forehead and merged with her.

The system explained sensibly: [Host, that green light is the light of life.]

【What's the meaning.】

[This means that it can bring a person back to life, but only within half an hour after death.]

Jiang Yueyang was very surprised. She didn't expect the system to give such a huge compensation.

So, she asked in confusion: [Aren’t you broke? How did you get such a powerful thing?]

"Don't worry about that. Just tell me, have you calmed down? Do you forgive me?"

[Since you've sincerely admitted your mistake, I'll forgive you this time. Don't let it happen again!]

[Hmm!] The system responded heavily.

A little over two quarters of an hour later, Jiang Yueyang boarded the carriage to attend court. Today, Lu Yunting was still waiting at the intersection.

But Jiang Yueyang was still a little shy because of what happened last night, so after saying hello, she hid in the carriage without showing her face.

Lu Yunting didn't bother her and walked silently beside the car window.

Soon, they arrived at the palace gate. In order to observe etiquette, the two of them walked one in front and one behind.

After arriving at the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Lu Yunting took the opportunity to hang up his cloak and quietly held her hand.

After a while, Emperor Yuan arrived.

Seeing that Jiang Yueyang was no longer in a bad mood, he couldn't help but look at Lu Yunting.

What did he do?

Civil and military officials also noticed that Jiang Yueyang's mood had improved, and they all guessed that they had resolved the misunderstanding.

So... who is that girl?

General Zhenguo asked quietly, "Lu boy, have you reconciled with Lord Xiao Jiang?"

"We didn't argue."

General Zhenguo scoffed and said teasingly, "I wonder who was so nervous yesterday."

Lu Yunting: “…”

"Hey, who's that girl in your mind?"

"Who else could it be but her?"

General Zhenguo's eyes widened slightly, "So... the girl who saved you back then was Lord Xiao Jiang?"

"Ah."

Every word of their conversation fell into the ears of the Crown Prince and the Third Prince.

It turns out that there is such a bond between them...

Perhaps realizing someone was looking at her, Jiang Yueyang slowly raised her head and met Emperor Yuan's gaze.

Jiang Yueyang smiled at him.

Emperor Yuan deliberately ignored it and his eyes naturally fell elsewhere.

"Zhang Zhiyuan, you have made an invaluable contribution to this expedition to Chishui. Tell me, what reward do you want?"

Zhang Zhiyuan replied respectfully, "Your Majesty, I dare not take any credit for this. This is all thanks to the soldiers who fought desperately.

If Your Majesty wishes to grant rewards, I implore Your Majesty to commend the soldiers and provide relief to the families of the fallen soldiers."

The Yuan Emperor was immediately delighted. "My dear minister, your loyalty to the emperor and your country is truly gratifying to me. The other officers and soldiers deserve rewards, and you deserve one too."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Jiang Yueyang was in a good mood today, so she listened with great interest to their discussion of national affairs.

As he listened, he inadvertently noticed a person who should not be in the court.

She muttered quietly, "Why is Doctor Zhou here?"

The system said: [He came yesterday, and I asked the host if he wanted to eat his melon.]

【Does he have any melons to eat? 】

[Yes, do you want to eat?]

【eat! 】
