At nightfall, darkness enveloped the capital, swallowing the world like a bloody mouth.
In this bustling capital, in the distance, twinkling stars appeared, and dense figures moved like ants. From time to time, the sounds of people hawking and shouting could be heard from afar.
Mixed in with the loud noises of drunken rough men and the gentle and charming laughter of beautiful girls.
It is extremely prosperous as far as the eye can see.
Just outside the bustling street, on the roof of a teahouse in the capital.
Silence.
The roof was extremely high and shrouded in darkness. From this point, one could take in most of the capital.
At this moment, it’s late at night!
The cold wind was fierce and biting, and it stung my skin painfully.
The gusts of cold wind seemed to blow people away.
A graceful figure in a thin red dress was sitting quietly on the roof, looking ahead.
She stared into the distance, wondering what she was thinking.
The thin red dress seemed unable to withstand the cold wind, and the skirt fluttered, revealing her cold temperament in the cold night.
Her long black hair was blown away, and a strand of hair fell in front of her eyes, making her look more cool and beautiful.
At this moment, in the dead of night, a woman in red, extremely beautiful, appeared on the roof.
While it is stunning, it also adds a sense of mystery and weirdness!
She sat alone on the roof, curled up her legs, gathered her skirt that was blown by the cold wind, rested her chin on her knees, and stared blankly ahead.
silence!
Lonely!
It added a bit of indescribable loneliness.
Until not long after, Lin Jiangnian's appearance broke everything!
He climbed up to the roof with nimble agility, sat down beside her, and turned to look at her face, which was still stunning in the cold night.
Very cold and beautiful!
I really want to give you a kiss.
…
On the roof, Liu Su turned her head slightly and met Lin Jiangnian's slightly cynical smile.
He was looking at her quietly, with a faint smile on his face, looking harmless.
She looked at him for a moment, then turned her head away: "How did you know it was me?"
She didn't deny it.
"Guess."
Lin Jiangnian sighed, "There aren't many people who can avoid all the guards of the Jiang Mansion and break into the inner courtyard. You, Lady Liu, are one of them."
At this point, Lin Jiang smiled and said, "For you, the Jiang Mansion should be free to come and go, right?"
Liu Su didn't say anything, but she didn't deny it.
Indeed, for her, there are very few places in the world that she cannot go.
"so……"
Lin Jiangnian looked at her and asked, "Did you go looking for me just now?"
Liu Su didn't say anything.
But from her face, Lin Jiangnian got the answer.
Liu Su came to Jiang's house late at night, with no other reason except to look for him.
"you……"
Lin Jiangnian was a little surprised: "Why did you come to me suddenly?"
I clearly remember that in the afternoon, this Saint Liu was furious and left in anger. How come she suddenly came to see him in the middle of the night?
Could it be that he says one thing but does another?
Liu Su raised her eyes and stared at him. After a while, she spoke calmly, "Fourth Elder, did they send someone to kill you?"
"How do you know?"
Lin Jiangnian was slightly startled, then chuckled: "The news spread so quickly?"
Liu Su turned her eyes away from his face and said silently: "Why didn't you tell me?"
"Didn't you run away?"
Lin Jiangnian sighed: "You ran too fast this afternoon, I couldn't catch up with you..."
Liu Su looked a little annoyed and unnatural: "Who told you to talk nonsense?"
Then, he stared at Lin Jiangnian again, looked him up and down, bit his lip, and asked, "Are you okay?"
"without……"
Lin Jiangnian was about to say he was fine when something occurred to him. A look of pain immediately appeared on his face. He clutched his chest and said miserably, "Something's wrong, something's wrong. I had a bloody battle with the masters sent by your four elders this afternoon and I suffered serious internal injuries... Can you help me feel them?"
Liu Su didn't move. The exaggerated expression on Lin Jiangnian's face made her feel inexplicably humiliated.
She glared at Lin Jiangnian coldly: "You might as well die!"
"You are so heartless."
Lin Jiangnian couldn't help but say, "I almost died at their hands this afternoon. If it weren't for my superior skills, I really might have been killed this afternoon... It's fine if you don't care, but you're cursing me?"
Faced with Lin Jiangnian's questioning, Liu Su knew that she was in the wrong, so she snorted and said nothing.
Lin Jiangnian sighed: "I'm taking the blame for all this!"
"You were the one who killed him, yet you came to me for revenge... I helped you so much, shouldn't you compensate me?"
Liu Su ignored Lin Jiangnian's request for compensation. Her cold face became even colder, and her eyes were deep, with a hint of fierce murderous intent.
"I will avenge you!"
Lin Jiangnian looked at her and asked, "You, want to kill your four elders too?"
Liu Su had a cold face and said nothing.
But it was obvious that she did intend to do so.
"calm!"
Lin Jiangnian shook his head: "This is the capital, and your leader is here too. Killing him at this critical moment will easily lead to trouble."
Although she knew that Liu Su was very bold and that the Tianshen Sect strictly prohibited internal strife, she still killed the Tianshen Sect's Grand Elder without saying a word.
A mere Fourth Elder was naturally nothing. But Liu Su's move was extremely risky. Once exposed, it would cause a lot of unnecessary trouble.
"So what?!"
Liu Su's answer was straightforward and clear.
She wanted to kill people and never cared about these things.
More importantly...
Liu Su glanced at him.
"I brought you back here, so you're mine. The Fourth Elder dared to touch you, which means he didn't take me seriously. I'm going to settle this score with him."
Lin Jiangnian was amused: "You admit... I am yours?"
Liu Su was stunned for a moment before she realized what was happening. She immediately said angrily, "What are you thinking? That's not what I meant!"
"That doesn't matter..."
Lin Jiangnian waved his hand: "Just tell me, am I yours?"
"no!"
Liu Su denied it without hesitation.
"real?"
Lin Jiangnian stared into her eyes and suddenly moved closer.
Liu Su was startled by Lin Jiangnian's sudden action. She subconsciously leaned back and stared at him warily: "You, what do you want to do?"
"Back off!"
It's late at night and everyone is asleep.
Lin Jiangnian stared at Liu Su's beautiful eyes, which were deep, dark and bright. At this moment, he was inexplicably cute because of his nervousness!
"It's no use even if you deny it!"
Lin Jiangnian shook his head and said, "If you sleep with this prince, you must take responsibility!"
"Shut up!"
Liu Su spoke angrily, her pretty face suddenly red: "If you mention this again, I, I will kill you!"
"Kill you!"
Lin Jiangnian moved closer, with an expression that said, "You killed this prince."
Seeing Lin Jiangnian's rotten and shameless attitude, Liu Suqi's pretty face flushed red, feeling embarrassed and annoyed. She gritted her teeth and said, "I've already paid back what I owed you. We no longer owe each other anything!"
"We have nothing to do with each other anymore!"
"Who said we no longer owe each other anything?"
Lin Jiangnian shook his head: "I haven't agreed yet!"
"What does it have to do with me if you don't agree?!"
Liu Su looked away with a cold face: "Anyway...we no longer have any relationship!"
Seeing Liu Su's expression, Lin Jiangnian sighed deeply: "You are too heartless!"
Liu Su didn't say anything.
Lin Jiangnian sat back down and looked up at the night scene of Beijing ahead.
Liu Su straightened her dress and breathed a sigh of relief. She turned her head and glanced at Lin Jiangnian warily. She remained silent, perhaps thinking about something.
She looked at the dark night sky ahead, feeling the cold wind enveloping her body, but her thoughts became increasingly confused.
There was an indescribable emotion that made it difficult for her to calm down and think.
At this moment, Lin Jiangnian's voice came from the side: "Actually, you don't have to do this..."
"You came to see me tonight because you were worried that I might get hurt, right?"
He had just separated from Liu Su during the day, and when they parted, Liu Su was still furious and said she no longer cared about Lin Jiangnian's life or death. But just a few hours later, she took the initiative to come to his house again.
The answer is obvious.
Liu Su subconsciously wanted to deny it, but Lin Jiangnian interrupted her casting of the spell in advance: "You don't have to deny it. Of course, even if you deny it, I won't believe it."
Liu Su was stunned and gave him an angry look.
Since when did this guy become so domineering?
Back then at Prince Lin’s Mansion, she didn’t know who was treating her with such respect… How long has it been?
"You obviously care about me, why don't you want to admit it?"
Lin Jiangnian sighed: "You are still here, waiting for me, right?"
"no."
Liu Su's voice was still cold, with a hint of muffled emotion. There was even a hint of imperceptible...anger!
"I don't believe it."
Lin Jiangnian turned his head and looked at her.
With Liu Su's martial arts skills, if she didn't want to attract anyone's attention, almost no one in the entire Jiang Mansion would be able to discover her presence.
Similarly, if she didn't want to be found by Lin Jiangnian, even if Lin Jiangnian searched the entire capital tonight, he would never be able to find her.
The fact that she didn't leave just proved one thing...she was waiting for him.
Liu Su had a cold face and obviously would not admit it.
"I'm so happy!"
Lin Jiangnian stared at Liu Su's cold and arrogant profile and chuckled, "You can come to see me tonight."
"Even though you don't admit it, I know you..."
"Shut up!"
Lin Jiangnian was interrupted by Liu Su before he could finish his words.
Her beautiful eyes were filled with shame and anger, her face flushed, and she looked flustered: "Don't say that anymore!"
The red cheeks were burning hot in the cold wind of the night and took a long time to dissipate.
Obviously, she guessed what Lin Jiangnian wanted to say next.
Seeing this, Lin Jiangnian didn't say anything else. He moved closer to Liu Su and got closer to her.
Liu Su was about to glare, but heard Lin Jiangnian speak again.
"You heard everything just now, didn't you?"
It is confirmed that the noise heard in the room before was caused by Liu Su, so, she must have also heard the conversation between Lin Jiangnian and Zhiyuan, right?
Liu Su glanced at him and said, "Why, are you afraid that I might hear something shameful?"
"Of course not."
Lin Jiangnian shook his head and was about to speak when he saw a sneer on Liu Su's lips: "Of course I heard it... I heard you and her talking about love in the room, you two are so affectionate, right?"
"How come?"
Lin Jiangnian coughed and was about to explain: "Zhiyuan and I..."
"No need to explain, it has nothing to do with me."
Liu Su interrupted him and said expressionlessly.
Lin Jiangnian: “…”
After a while, Lin Jiang sighed: "Didn't you agree not to bother with her?"
"When did I say that?"
"Just last time..."
"I regret it."
Liu Su's voice was crisp and clear, with a resounding voice.
“…”
It turns out that you should never believe a woman’s lies!
Liu Su's combination of punches caught Lin Jiangnian off guard and left him speechless.
He was silent, thinking about how to start. Liu Su suddenly spoke next to him.
"You, like her?"
Lin Jiangnian turned her head and saw that Liu Su was not looking at her. She was staring at the darkness ahead with deep beautiful eyes.
Her long black hair flutters in the wind, giving off an indescribable ethereal feeling.
Lin Jiangnian was slightly stunned. Although he had never said it, Liu Su had probably already guessed his relationship with Zhiyuan.
When they first met in the capital, Liu Su had obviously noticed something.
So now she suddenly asks again...what does it mean?
Lin Jiangnian didn't hesitate too much and nodded: "Yeah."
He neither denied nor made excuses.
He really likes kites.
After hearing this answer, Liu Su was not as angry as she had imagined.
She had indeed guessed it long ago!
On the way to Beijing, she began to suspect the relationship between Lin Jiangnian and Zhiyuan. And when they first met in Beijing, she was even more certain that something was not right between them.
I asked tonight just because I wanted to get a definite answer!
Now that he had gotten the answer he wanted, Liu Su was not as angry as he had imagined.
She thought she would be very angry!
She would severely condemn this heartless man, this pervert, and not spare any of the maids and servants around the dog prince. She wished she could castrate him with a sword...
But Liu Su soon realized that she didn't seem to be qualified...
What is her relationship with him?
Who was she to condemn him?
What happened between the two of them was just an accident... an accident that happened in the heat of the moment!
She herself said that they would owe each other nothing and would have no further disputes.
Then why does she still have the right to condemn him?
Ask him to remain a virgin for you?
It all sounds funny.
Thinking of this, Liu Su's heart tightened, and a strong emotion seemed to be pressing on her heart, making it difficult for her to breathe.
She took a deep breath, still staring ahead, and continued to ask in a cold voice: "When did it happen?"
Lin Jiangnian looked at her quietly, as if he could see through her thoughts: "After you leave Lin Wang Mansion."
Liu Su's delicate body trembled slightly and she remained silent. After a while, a self-deprecating smile appeared on her face.
"So, I gave you to her myself?"
Lin Jiangnian did not comment on Liu Su's self-aware behavior.
Indeed, if Liu Su had not chosen to leave Prince Lin's Mansion and stay with Lin Jiangnian.
Given her personality and her relationship with Zhiyuan, Lin Jiangnian would probably never have the chance to get close to Zhiyuan again, and the series of events that followed would not have happened.
So, maybe Liu Su was not wrong.
Her departure gave Lin Jiangnian and Zhiyuan the opportunity to spend time together.
In a sense, she is half a matchmaker!
…
The cold wind on the roof was fierce. Lin Jiangnian felt the coldness of Liu Su's delicate body beside him, and his face turned slightly pale.
He grabbed her hand, and felt a piercing coldness in his palm.
Liu Su rarely refrained from struggling. She lowered her eyes to look at her tightly clasped hand, feeling the hot breath from Lin Jiangnian slowly flowing into her body, gradually driving away the cold wind.
In this cold winter night, she felt as if she was wrapped in a warm stove, and felt the long-lost warmth.
Liu Su lowered her eyes and was silent for a long time before she spoke: "Do you know why I don't like her?"
Lin Jiangnian was stunned for a moment, looked into Liu Su's eyes, and shook his head.
He really didn't know why Liu Su didn't like Zhiyuan. Perhaps it was the instinctive hostility between beautiful women?
Or is it the pride among masters?
Or perhaps, both?
"Because..."
Liu Su looked ahead, her beautiful eyes were deep, and her voice was soft and gentle.
"I'm so jealous of her."
“…”
