Chapter 751: Chapter 559: Very Sweet, Afraid of No One but Princess Jiuyou_2

This must be what a young girl in love looks like in those storybooks?

She lifted her head to look at Jun Wuxian, her eyes brimming with joy. The storybooks hadn’t lied to her. Mutual affection does make one’s heart leap with happiness and anticipation.

Thinking back to her behavior during her initial months in the palace, she cringed. It was unbearable to remember.

The worst part was that fighting for favor held no appeal whatsoever, let alone joy; it only added to her daily frustrations.

Therefore, she was determined not to let Jun Wuxian know how foolish she had once been~

Seeing her stare at him without speaking, Jun Wuxian raised his fan and tapped her forehead with it, "What are you thinking about?"

Xun Qingqing shook her head guiltily, "Nothing."

Jun Wuxian, seeing the guilty look on her face, put away his folding fan, extended his arm to encircle her slender waist, and pulled her closer.

"Are you hiding something from me?"

Instinctively, Xun Qingqing placed her hands on his chest, looking into those eyes that held a hint of a smile, and felt even more guilty.

"No, what could I possibly be hiding from you?"

Jun Wuxian, with his legs crossed and a lazy posture leaning against the back of his chair, seemed to keep a casual arm around Xun Qingqing. However, she knew better than anyone else how tightly Jun Wuxian was holding her.

Jun Wuxian’s attractive phoenix eyes stared intently at her, "Then why are you nervous?"

Xun Qingqing replied, feigning composure, "I’m not nervous; you’re overthinking it."

"Really?"

"Of course."

Jun Wuxian’s gaze dropped to her soft lips, "Come closer."

"What’s wrong?" Xun Qingqing approached with curiosity, decreasing the already short distance between them. She raised her head to look at the man so close to her, slowly leaning in until she felt warmth on her lips. It took her a moment to realize that Jun Wuxian was kissing her.

Was this the legendary kiss?

Xun Qingqing and Jun Wuxian were both new to love and had been clueless about these things. Ever since she had read the storybooks given by Shen Chuwei, she had been full of fantasies about the feelings of being in love and the actions between lovers.

Every time she saw descriptions of the wall pinning and kissing between the male and female protagonists in the picture books, the inexperienced Xun Qingqing was filled with curiosity.

Now that she was experiencing it firsthand, she didn’t know how to react.

She suddenly remembered that the storybooks mentioned how the female protagonist should respond... How did she respond again?

While Xun Qingqing was thinking about how to respond, Jun Wuxian pulled back.

Xun Qingqing looked at Jun Wuxian, stunned. She had just decided how to respond, and he stopped?

While it was not a fleeting peck, it was nothing like the descriptions in the storybooks either...

Xun Qingqing regretted it deeply at that moment. She had finally managed to kiss but botched it.

Xun Qingqing thought it was because of her that Jun Wuxian had stopped.

Jun Wuxian didn’t want to frighten Xun Qingqing, so he had taken the kiss slowly and realized it was better than he had anticipated.

He looked down at her with eyes full of longing, only to see her frowning in annoyance. He expected her to blush shyly, but her reaction was different from what he had imagined.

"What’s with that expression?"

When she met his phoenix eyes, her face flushed as she explained in a soft voice, "This is my first time; I don’t really know how."

What she really wanted to say was that it’s normal not to know without experience, hoping he wouldn’t hold it against her~

Jun Wuxian couldn’t help but laugh at her words, and he truly couldn’t suppress it.

Already embarrassed, Xun Qingqing became annoyed when she heard his laughter, "What are you laughing at?"

Jun Wuxian struggled to contain his laughter, "You’re just so amusing."

Xun Qingqing, with her face flushed, buried herself in his chest, "I’m serious; you can’t make fun of me."

Jun Wuxian looked down at the person in his arms, suppressing his laughter, "Alright, alright, I won’t laugh."

But where she couldn’t see, he was still smiling. How had he not realized how amusing she was before?

Xun Qingqing lifted her head to see Jun Wuxian covering his mouth with the fan, snickering. She didn’t know whether to be embarrassed or annoyed, but her cheeks reddened even more.

When Jun Wuxian saw her puff up and turn her head away, he put away the folding fan and cajoled her in a gentle voice, "Alright, I’m not laughing at you anymore; I just find you amusing."

Xun Qingqing huffed, "Isn’t that the same thing?"

"Of course not," Jun Wuxian pulled her back into his arms, lowering his head to whisper by her ear with a suggestive tone, "It feels quite nice."

The warm breath, coupled with the insinuating voice, entered her ears, making Xun Qingqing’s cheeks turn a deeper shade of red. She shyly nestled in his chest, feeling a sweetness in her heart as if it had been brushed with honey.

Jun Wuxian reopened his folding fan and began to fan them both. Looking at the person snuggled in his arms, even though he couldn’t see her face, he could guess that her cheeks were probably even redder now.
