56. Craving (2)

Yu Qingjia seldom gets so close to another person, and it’s even rarer if it’s with the opposite gender.

Her arms were wrapped around Murong Yan’s neck, her upper body was so close to his spine, another person’s scent was lingering on the tip of her nose, and it brought Yu Qingjia an unspeakable sense of security.

Yu Qingjia’s tensed spirit gradually relaxed, she was stiff-necked at first, and didn’t dare to get too close to Murong Yan, but as they passed by a couple more courtyards, Yu Qingjia gradually relaxed and slowly pressed her forehead on Murong Yan’s shoulder.

She wasn’t able to sleep all night, her hair was messed up long ago, and it fluttered around wildly, scratching Murong Yan’s neck bit by bit.

Winter mornings are still dark, and silent.

Only the bitter cold air, and a few stars cover them.

So the lonely stunning young man, and the exhausted well-behaved young girl traversed the early morning quietly, passing through the dense fog, and back, covered in the beautiful early morning light.

Yu Qingjia’s forehead rested on Murong Yan’s shoulder and she closed her eyes exhaustedly.

She could barely see anything in front of her, which gave Yu Qingjia a feeling of detachment from the world, as if only the two of them were left between this expanse of heaven and earth.

“Fox, was it your doing?”

Yu Qingjia waited with bated breath for a while, but she did not hear any response from him.

She exhaled, and without waiting for Murong Yan’s acknowledgement, she spoke on her own,

“I know it must be you. The ground was flat, there was no wind or water lying around the courtyard, if it wasn’t you, how would Yu Qingya suddenly slip? You did not see her face at that time. She looked surprised and doubtful, as if she had seen a ghost…”

Murong Yan did not intend to talk originally, but after hearing her words, his eyebrows can not help but twitch.

Yu Qingjia also realized after the fact that her words seemed to be scolding Murong Yan, she hurriedly raised her head, tried to squeeze her face in front of Murong Yan, and explained,

“I did not mean anything bad, I meant to compliment you and thank you by the way—”

Yu Qingjia was leaning on Murong Yan’s back, and when she moved around like this, she wasn’t able to consider the effect she would induce on Murong Yan.

Murong Yan can only stop in his tracks, and tense his back so that Yu Qingjia’s soft body couldn’t press so close to him.

Yu Qingjia did not understand the meaning behind Murong Yan’s action, she thought Murong Yan was offended, and was now planning to throw her down.

She hurriedly circled her arms around his neck tightly and urgently said,

“I didn’t mean anything, if you throw me down again I’ll definitely be angry!”

Yu Qingjia’s hold around his neck became tighter, and tighter, and Yu Qingjia’s cheek was getting closer, and closer to Murong Yan’s.

Her breath fluttered lightly and heavily on his neck, and his body became even more tense, but it would be too obvious if he avoided her, his throat rolled down continuously.

It took a while but he was finally able to suppress his hoarse voice and said,

“Don’t move.”

“You really want to throw me? Remember, I hadn’t settled accounts with you yet when you threw me off the carriage, and now you’re still—”

Murong Yan could not bear it anymore, and said,

“I did not say that I would throw you. Lean down properly, stop moving.”

Yu Qingjia stared at Murong Yan’s hand, and she saw that he was still firmly clasping her knees, without any intention of letting go.

She finally calmed down a little, and slowly relaxed her arm, “You said that. You are not allowed to let go.”

Yu Qingjia finally quieted down, so Murong Yan was able to continue walking.

Yu Qingjia turned her face sideways and pressed her cheek against Murong Yan’s back, her eyes gradually became dull,

“I was worried when I heard Yu Qingya say that something tripped her, but in the end no one believed her. How did you do that, and why was nothing found on the ground?”

Murong Yan thought for a moment and said seriously, “I don’t know. I casually took something from the side, as for what it is I did not look properly.”

“Did you hit her on the knee?”

“Hmm.”

This is not a secret in the palace, experienced eunuchs definitely know how to do it, they would hit an acupuncture point on the leg, and it would be able to bring down, even the hardest of bones.

“Wow.”

Yu Qingjia exclaimed in amazement, she found it extremely novel.

Speaking of Yu Qingya, Murong Yan changed his slight aloofness on the road, and actually said something,

“The system you mentioned last time is inside her, right? She has been able to survive until now, thanks to her staying inside the inner courtyard. When she took Yu Laojun’s pulse earlier, her technique was obviously wrong, but she accurately told the other party’s condition. She even added something to the medicine in front of so many people, and I don’t know whether to call her stupid or brave.”

Yu Qingjia deeply agreed, she suddenly felt that getting a powerful ability that does not belong to her is not necessarily a good thing.

Ever since the system came, Yu Qingya became increasingly arrogant and domineering, she used to be on guard, and she could have used that as an advantage but she didn’t.

Yu Qingya is now like a person who suddenly gets a lot of power in her hands, but without hard training.

Obviously, the strength is there, but she doesn’t have the heart to back it up.

If she cultivated her strength by herself, then her influence would have been greater, and her heart tougher.

If it were Yu Qingjia She would become bold and careful, but Yu Qingya wasn’t like that.

She was used to stealing, used to getting something for nothing, and success gradually blinded her eyes, making her believe that all her achievements were all from herself, thus making her act recklessly and create enemies everywhere.

I wonder if Yu Qingya had ever thought, since all of these were not her own. If one day the system suddenly disappears, what would she do?

Yu Qingjia pressed her head against Murong Yan’s shoulder blade and lamented, “It’s sad to see people relying so much on others.”

Murong Yan’s eyes seemed to move a little, and finally turned into a calm approval.

It is indeed a sad thing to put all your chips on other people.

Yu Qingya does it, but so does he.

In only half a year, he gradually got used to Yu Qingjia’s company, and what was even more frightening was that he found himself beginning to crave it.

He is actually similar to Yu Qingya, Yu Qingya is counting on the system not to leave her, while Murong Yan is also hoping that Yu Qingjia will always be by his side.

It turns out that in Yu Qingjia’s eyes, he himself is pitiful.
