The Story Of Dusk

"Why are you standing there?"

Qianru approached Xiao Jun and Liu Wei with curious eyes, she a.s.sumed Liu Wei had told him about the incident with Mo Qin Yi this afternoon, that was why Xiao Jun looked a little bit gloomy .

Probably he was being jealous because of that?

Honestly, Qianru was enjoying that thought, it was a prove that Xiao Jun cared about her and didn"t want her to be close with anyone else except him, but her smile dropped when she saw blood dripping from Xiao Jun"s hand and shattered fragments of cup on the floor .

"Jun, your hand!" Qianru exclaimed in panic as she rushed over to Xiao Jun"s side, carefully lifted his wounded hand .

"It"s alright . " Xiao Jun tried to make Qianru to let his hand go, but the woman was being stubborn by holding his wrist tightly as tears started to form in her beautiful eyes .

Xiao Jun didn"t like this . He didn"t want to see her crying because of him .

Without words, Qianru led him to sit on the bench . Currently, they were at the front yard of their residence and gestured Jinse, her maidservant at the side, to bring a medicine box .

Looking down, Qianru stared at the wound with sorrow . "Who hurt you?" She asked with small voice .

This was the reason why Xiao Jun didn"t want to show his injuries, even it was only a small wound, because Qianru would react this way .

Xiao Jun let out a helpless sigh before his lips curve into a defeated smile . "Can you stop worry about me? I am a man and this is only small wound . " He pinched her cheek so she would lift her head and looked at him .

"If you are a man than you will not feel pain? What kind of logic is that?" Qianru grumbled, didn"t like the way Xiao Jun underestimated his wound .

She fished out her white handkerchief from her pocket and pressed the wound to stop the bleeding . In no time, the white handkerchief had smeared with glaring bright red of Xiao Jun"s blood, Qianru let out a small whimper when she watched this .

"Did the Emperor Mo Qian Yuan do this?" Qianru"s brows wrinkled . She recalled, Xiao Jun was only going to meet the Emperor right after their return and she didn"t hear any bad news about him being attack or something similar, therefore where this wound came from?

"No . " Xiao Jun fixed his eyes at Qianru when he answered her truthfully . "I did this . "

Qianru whipped her head abruptly to look at him, she blinked her eyes couple of time, trying to register Xiao Jun"s in her mind before finally she spoke . "Are you crazy?"

Her little comment made Xiao Jun chuckled heartily, but it only made Qianru annoyed .

"Answer my question seriously!" Qianru cried in frustration, she tugged his sleeve in attempt to make him stop, but his chuckle turned into a laugh . "Stop laughing!" She demanded, felt like a fool .

"You never change . " As he said that, Xiao Jun other hand gently cradled Qianru"s head toward him as he kissed her lips .

Qianru was caught off guard by Xiao Jun"s sudden kiss, but she didn"t have intention to back off when she reciprocated it .

On the other side, Liu Wei tactfully turned his body and walked hastily out of the picture, he tried his best to not make any sound as he concentrated his every movement . He was akin to spy who was trying to find his escape way .

As they shared their kiss, the moon shone bright upon them as the chill wind blew past them .

Qianru didn"t wear thick clothes as she shuddered because of the wind .

Xiao Jun felt it and bit her lips before he pulled back his head and draped his cloak around her body . "Wear more clothes if you are going outside . " He said, readjusting the cloak .

Qianru was indeed feeling cold, but her cheeks couldn"t stop from blushing furiously . Xiao Jun acted so natural after their kiss, but Qianru couldn"t do that, she kept her head low, pretending to be busy with Xiao Jun"s wound .

"Where is Jinse…?" Qianru looked around awkwardly, trying to avoid Xiao Jun"s eyes . "She should be here now . "

Actually, Jinse had arrived a while ago, but the intimate act between the two of them forced her to stop abruptly and turned around .

Jinsei cursed the guard Liu Wei because he didn"t warn her before . But, when she heard there was a movement from behind her and saw Qianru was looking for her, hastily she ran toward her mistress while carrying the medicine box .

After Jinse gave the medicine box to Qianru, she retreated immediately, afraid to be attacked by sudden display of affection between the two .

Qianru carefully clean up Xiao Jun"s wound as soon as the bleeding had stopped .

"Jun, you have not answered my question yet . "

"Mm?" Xiao Jun hummed, enjoying Qianru"s treatment .

"Where did you get this wound?" Qianru lifted her head to look at Xiao Jun"s eyes as the man stared back at her .

Xiao Jun sighed deeply, he thought with a kiss would make Qianru forgot about this and stopped asking, but he was wrong and she didn"t yield .

"I hurt myself . " Xiao Jun said truthfully . He had said it before, but Qianru didn"t believe it .

"And why did you do that?" She asked, pursing her lips into a tight line .

Xiao Jun cought lightly, it felt awkward when he had to explain it . "I think I had exerted unnecessary strength when I was holding my cup . "

Qianru stared at him with indiscernible expression, of course that lame reason couldn"t convince her . "Good try . " But she relented and didn"t ask anymore .

If Xiao Jun wanted her to know then he would let her know . But, since he avoided from giving her the answer then Qianru shouldn"t pursue the issue .

"I don"t like it when Mo Qin Yi touched you . " Xiao Jun said when the silent fell upon them . He tried to explain it to her .

Qianru gazed at him through her long lashes as her lips curled into a bright smile and her rosy cheeks turned bright red .

"Then, don"t let him touch me again . " She whispered as she rested her head on his shoulder .
