Fierce Chapter 33 - First Kiss
Gong Jue thought he knew what kind of book this was.
Still, he maintained an innocent face and seriously asked, "Sister Gong, why do you read this kind of book?"
His watery dark eyes were very pure while his head was tilted to the side as if in thought. His appearance deceived Gong Yi Mo, and she lowered her head, feeling a tinge of guilt.
"...I don't."
Gong Jue smirked to himself, but on the surface, his face expressed sincere curiosity. "Then, who is it for?"
Remembering her intentions, Gong Yi Mo looked straight at her brother. "Naturally, this book is for you!"
She felt even more concerned when she saw her brother staring blankly at her. "Now that you are eleven years old, it's time that I teach you about matters between men and women!"
If Gong Jue's mother was still alive, naturally she would be the one to teach him these things. Since the concubine had passed away, Gong Yi Mo took the responsibility of educating him upon herself. She didn't want Gong Jue to be ignorant of such matters-no, she needed to make sure that he doesn't get fooled by other girls when he leaves the palace!
"Teach me?" This time, it was Gong Jue's face that blushed red, while Gong Yi Mo smiled with enthusiasm.
"Yes, come here. You're such a pure boy that, as your sister, I need to make sure you understand affairs between men and women!"
(T/N: LOL sex education from Gong Yi Mo hahahah...) (Ed/N: o_o )
Affairs between men and women...
Gong Jue was really such a nervous little chick. When Gong Yi Mo took the initiative in such a way, he still started trembling no matter how cool-headed he was. She pulled him to her side while he was in a daze and had him sit down on the bed.
But when she was about to start talking, Gong Yi Mo actually didn't know how to begin.
The atmosphere turned awkward between the two siblings... Gong Yi Mo's body felt stiff, but she didn't know how to get out of her predicament, and Gong Jue didn't want to miss any opportunity to be close to her.
Seeing her feet shift nervously, Gong Jue once again felt his desires provoked. The look in his eye deepened, and he said in a low voice,
"I know, Sister Gong."
The expression on his face gave Gong Yi Mo goosebumps.

After the disaster relief materials were fully prepared, many officials rushed to offer Gong Jue gifts for his journey, giving the emperor face for his decision. However, Gong Che chose to instead first come to the Taiji Palace. Everyone knew that Gong Jue was Gong Yi Mo's shadow and that he only gained his position because of her. Nevertheless, Gong Che was still very happy to see Gong Yi Mo.
It was evening, yet the sky was still very bright. Gong Yi Mo was excitedly leaving her palace while carrying a few bottles of medicine when she spotted the brocade box in Gong Che's hands. "Did Elder Brother Crown Prince also come to offer Gong Jue gifts for his journey?"
Acting like a spoiled little sister, Gong Yi Mo affectionately grabbed his arm and pulled him along. "I happened to be going too. Let's walk there together!"
Today she was in a good mood. She was always so enthusiastic when it came to Gong Jue, but she seldom took the initiative when it came to him. Feeling her warmth, Gong Che tensed up slightly. However, he could not bear to refuse her, so he let her pull him along.
Once they left the vicinity of Taiji Palace, Gong Yi Mo paid more attention to her image and let go of him. She curiously glanced at the box in his hands. "What did Elder Brother bring?"
Gong Che didn't shy away and directly opened the box. In it was a dagger decorated with gemstones, pearls, and jades. The design was exquisite, but with just a glance, Gong Yi Mo knew the blade's sharpness was far less than that of the one she had given.
"Wow, it's beautiful!" She said with sincere admiration. "Gong Jue will surely like it!" Yes, something so valuable could be sold for a lot of money.
Seeing Gong Yi Mo's delighted expression, Gong Che's heart softened. He smiled at her. He wanted to say that he would give her a better dagger in the future, but before he could speak, Gong Yi Mo, fascinated by the blooming lotus flowers, had already run off in excitement.
She was such a clever and active young girl, and she could see the beauty in everything.
Gong Che's gaze followed her as she ran... There were eight other ponds just like this one in the palace, however, for some reason, he felt like no other place had lotus blooming as beautifully as the ones here. The flowers were a rich pink and green color, and the clouds were a red glow gradually smearing across the sky. Amidst all of this, Gong Yi Mo wore a blue dress, and as her skirt fluttered in the wind, it seemed as if she were a butterfly fairy.
"Elder Brother! Come over here-there's a lotus!"
The lotus was still growing tenderly in the water, but that didn't prevent Gong Yi Mo from destroying it!
With a light tap of her foot, she flew into the air like a swallow. Then, she spun around and picked a lotus before landing on a boat that was left on the lake. After gaining her balance, she turned to smile at him.
Gong Che felt as if his heart had stood still... A smile that could overturn cities-It was nothing less than that.
