Lingxi
Midnight, Moon Embracing Palace.
Beside the Lotus Flower Pond, Xiao Lingxi placed her hands on her cheeks as she sat there silently, watching the ripples form under the cool wind breeze. The bright moonlight which was shining directly at the pond provided a bright and clear reflection of her snow white face and her moving and dazed eyes.
She had already sat for quite a while and no one knew what she was thinking.
“Little Aunt, why aren’t you asleep yet?”
The familiar yet surprising voice caused Xiao Lingxi to look up, and she saw Yun Che, whom she didn’t know when, standing beside her. Stunned, she softly called out to him: “Little Che? Why are you here? Shouldn’t you be in the wedding chamber with Princess Sis today? Why are you not accompanying her… and came here instead!”
“She is already sleeping. Then… Being a little worried about you, I went to your room before finding you here.” Yun Che smiled as he spoke. Then, he took a step forward and sat beside Xiao Lingxi, enjoying the view of the Lotus Flower Pond which was glimmering under the moonlight.
“I… I can’t sleep.” Xiao Lingxi looked down as her heart seemed to suddenly beat faster. She stopped for a moment before continuing softly: “Why are you worried about me? There’s nothing wrong with me… All your time and thoughts today should be with Princess Sis.”
Yun Che did not reply. Instead, he stared at Xiao Lingxi for some time before suddenly stretching his hand out, putting in on her shoulder and pulling her closer to hug.
“Ahh…” Xiao Lingxi softly cried out in shock. However, she did not resist and just gently laid within his clutches.
“Don’t you feel that… this is the same as that other time.”Yun Che smelled Xiao Lingxi’s scent as he said with a smile.
“Other time… What?”
