Give it a try. See if his lips are cool and soft.
Looking at the sleeping Xiao Jingcheng, this thought made Jiang Mian's heart skip a beat.
There were only the two of them in the room at the moment. No one could see what she was doing. And he was in a deep slumber as usual. He probably wouldn't wake up for three to five days.
Whenever this happened, his soul would wander outside his body. She had tested it before. He had no idea what happened when he was asleep.
So, no matter what she did, he wouldn't notice.
Jiang Mian tightened her fingers. She lowered her head and, with a sense of verification, kissed Xiao Jingcheng's well - shaped thin lips.
She didn't notice at all that not far away, the yellow dog was looking at her in shock.
Xiao Jingcheng's soul was indeed not in his own body at this moment. Instead, it had returned to the body of Big Yellow.
It took a great deal of purple qi for him to wake up every time. Although the speed at which the purple qi condensed was much faster than before, he still couldn't keep consuming it like this every day. Moreover, he didn't want to leave her room. So he let himself fall into a deep sleep again.
Who would have known that when he woke up early in the morning, he would see such a stimulating scene!
Xiao Jingcheng was extremely shocked!
Jiang Mian was actually stealing a kiss from him!
But after the shock, happiness followed!
Since Jiang Mian was stealing a kiss from him, didn't this mean that she actually had feelings for him?
Big Yellow inside obviously also saw Jiang Mian's actions. It was also very surprised and said in Xiao Jingcheng's ear:
[Mother is eating the little purple man.]
Xiao Jingcheng seriously corrected it in his mind: [It's not eating. It's kissing. They're different.]
Big Yellow was very confused: [Where are they different?]
Xiao Jingcheng said proudly: [People kiss those they love. Has your mother ever kissed Mo Zhizhang like this?]
Big Yellow immediately became happy: [Oh! Mother often touches Big Yellow with her mouth. That means she's kissing Big Yellow. Mother really likes Big Yellow.]
Xiao Jingcheng almost exploded.
Yes, Jiang Mian often kissed this dog with her lips. Just thinking about her using the same lips that had kissed the dog to kiss him made him... It was so annoying!
Over there, Jiang Mian didn't notice Big Yellow's wandering little eyes at all. After gently touching Xiao Jingcheng's lips, she immediately sat up and pulled the distance between them.
She gently touched her own lips with her finger, recalling the feeling just now.
It seemed...
It wasn't as soft as she had imagined.
So, she probably didn't kiss his lips last night, right? This guy was so annoying. He actually said she was coveting his good looks. It was so dark last night that she couldn't see anything. What good looks could she covet?
But if it wasn't his lips, which part was it?
Could it be his cheek?
Or the side of his neck?
She lowered her head and looked at other parts of Xiao Jingcheng. Just as she was about to continue to verify, there was a knock on the door.
Jiang Mian and the yellow dog were both startled. Jiang Mian even subconsciously grabbed the quilt and covered Xiao Jingcheng's head, then quickly got up and ran out.
"Mu Jin, are you awake?"
It was Jiang Zhiqing outside the door.
"Mother, I just woke up. I'm... I'm changing my clothes. Don't come in yet." Jiang Mian walked around the screen and quickly changed out of her underclothes, then put on a clean set of clothes before going to answer the door.
"Mother." Jiang Mian smiled.
Jiang Zhiqing looked at her complexion and saw that she was rosy - cheeked and full of energy, so she felt relieved. She lovingly stroked her head and asked, "Did you sleep well last night, Mu Jin?"
Jiang Mian nodded: "I slept soundly all night. I opened my eyes and it was already dawn. Mother, is Father up too?"
"Of course he is." Jiang Zhiqing said. "Your father went out early this morning to buy breakfast. After mother helps you do your hair, we'll go over and have breakfast together."
With that, Jiang Zhiqing was about to enter the room.
Jiang Mian quickly said, "Mother, you should spend more time with Father. Doing my hair is such a small thing. I can do it myself."
Jiang Zhiqing retracted the foot she had just taken out.
She didn't insist. She smiled and said, "Then come over quickly after you're done washing and dressing. After breakfast, your father has other things to tell you."
After saying that, she turned around and left.
Jiang Mian let out a sigh of relief. She closed the door and quickly ran back to the green - gauze cabinet to remove the quilt covering Xiao Jingcheng's face.
She almost got discovered by her mother.
Cough, cough, cough.
"Big Yellow, come here." Jiang Mian waved to the yellow dog in the corner. "Mother has a task for you. You guard here and watch him well. If there's anything abnormal, come and find me, okay?"
Cough. Xiao Jingcheng controlled Big Yellow's body to step forward and touched her finger with his wet nose as a response.
After combing her hair and making a hair bun suitable for an unmarried girl, Jiang Mian went out to find Li Zhao and Jiang Zhiqing.
The breakfast was set in the flower hall of Baoyue Pavilion. The fine mahogany octagonal table seemed as good as new, untouched by the passage of time. At this moment, it was filled with all kinds of food, all typical breakfast snacks of the people in Luozhou.
"Wow, it's so sumptuous today." Jiang Mian sat down beside Jiang Zhiqing with a surprised look on her face. Just as she sat down, Taoist Yuanzheng also came over.
"I could smell the fragrance from afar. It really whetted my appetite!" Taoist Yuanzheng sat down with a smile.
Jiang Zhiqing served a bowl of osmanthus - scented soy milk for him and Jiang Mian respectively, and said with a smile, "Since we're in Luozhou, we should naturally try the local delicacies."
Li Zhao also said, "If the Taoist priest has any food he's not used to or any taboos, just tell me. We'll be staying here for a while."
Taoist Yuanzheng said indifferently, "I don't have any taboos. Don't worry about me."
Jiang Zhiqing said, "By the way, where's His Highness?"
Jiang Mian's body immediately stiffened. She immediately looked up at Taoist Yuanzheng, but Taoist Yuanzheng didn't even look at her and didn't notice her hinting eyes at all.
"Ah, when I got up this morning..."
Jiang Mian subconsciously held her breath. The next moment, Taoist Yuanzheng said, "I found that he had fallen into a deep sleep again. I'm afraid he won't wake up for several days."
Jiang Zhiqing was stunned. She said regretfully, "Poor thing. I don't know when his problem of falling in and out of sleep will be cured. I hope he can attend my wedding with my husband."
"Cough, cough, mother, he definitely will." Jiang Mian said. "Let's have breakfast first."
Jiang Mian thought she might not be used to the food in Luozhou, but when the food entered her mouth, perhaps because of the blood connection, whether it was the osmanthus - scented soy milk, the scallion pancakes or the fried dumplings on the table, they all gave her a familiar feeling.
The wedding of Li Zhao and Jiang Zhiqing was set for five days later. The time was very tight. There were many things to prepare and naturally a large amount of silver was needed.
Just as Jiang Mian proposed to take out the more than 200 taels of silver she had saved, Li Zhao pressed her hand.
