Chapter 112 Caught
After a moment of recollection, he remembered the scene on the carriage.
He felt a rush of heat to his head, his ears turned slightly red, and his heartbeat could be clearly heard in the quiet room.
He cupped Long Chuqing's face in his hands, his eyes filled with tenderness and affection, and softly called out, "Chuqing..."
He then lowered his head and lightly touched her lips with his own, like a dragonfly skimming the water, before covering them again and slowly deepening the kiss.
Long Chuqing felt a warm current flowing in, and her hands unconsciously climbed up the back of his neck and hugged him tightly.
At this point, she was already in a daze and had no idea what she was doing; she was just instinctively trying to get that little bit of warmth.
Xiao Han sensed the response, slowly closed his eyes, and kissed her gently and delicately. His kiss was careful, lingering, and profound.
The passionate and lingering kiss spread like wildfire, the flames burning away the ice, the chill gradually disappearing, and the bed quickly warmed up again.
Long Chuqing's body gradually began to recover.
After a long while, Long Chuqing had fallen asleep. Xiao Han could feel that her body had warmed up and the bed had become warm as well.
He propped his head up, looking at the peaceful sleeping face of the person beside him, and gently stroked her cheek.
He pulled her into his arms again, kissed her forehead lightly, and held her tightly. Soon after, they both fell asleep.
Long Chuqing slept very well; she didn't fall into darkness or dream during her sleep.
She woke up at dawn, opened her blurry eyes and found it was still dark and quiet all around.
She vaguely felt herself lying in a warm embrace, being held very tightly, and she was also holding him.
Then she smelled the familiar, faint scent of orchids. She felt comfortable and warm in the embrace, and then closed her eyes peacefully.
A few seconds later, she suddenly opened her eyes and remembered what had happened last night.
She remembered that she seemed to have slipped into Xiao Han's room last night, then took off her shoes, got into bed, and then leaned over to hug him.
After that... she couldn't remember what happened after that. She tried hard to recall, but the memory stopped after she got into bed and hugged him. She couldn't remember anything after that.
She suddenly opened her eyes wide in the darkness, then frowned, her face contorted in a grimace as she silently cried out, "Oh no, I'm doomed! What should I do now? What should I do?"
She mentally considered various possible solutions, but ultimately decided that sneaking away was the safest option, and that she could just pretend she had never been there! As long as she wasn't embarrassed, it was others who would be.
That's what she decided. She tried to wriggle out of his embrace, but the moment she moved, Xiao Han held her even tighter.
She was held tightly, unable to move, and after she was unable to break free, she dared not move around recklessly.
He could only silently lament to himself, "Oh well, I might as well die! Anyway, he already knew she was coming."
After giving up struggling, she closed her eyes again. It was quiet all around. She could hear his faint breathing and feel his chest rise and fall with each breath.
I must say, his embrace was really warm and comfortable.
"Pah, pah..." Long Chuqing secretly despised himself for his earlier thoughts.
Even if you complain, you can't deny that his embrace is very comfortable.
After closing her eyes, she felt sleepy and took a short nap.
About half an hour later, the sky gradually began to brighten.
When Long Chuqing woke up again, she gently looked up and saw that Xiao Han had his eyes closed and looked calm, so he was still asleep.
She found it strange. Didn't this person have to attend court today? He should have left home long ago! Could it be that today is a day of rest and recuperation? What a coincidence!
She could feel the embrace loosen considerably, so she tried to slip out again.
She gently pushed his hand away, slowly moved out of bed, carefully put on her shoes, and picked up the cloak from the floor.
Then she tiptoed out of the room, baring her teeth and looking distressed as she climbed out the window.
Xiao Han had woken up the first time she tried to slip away, but he didn't want to let her go, so he continued to hold her tightly, pretending to be asleep.
He lay on the bed, watching her flee in a panic, a doting smile appearing on his face.
"Stop..." Qingying drew her sword from her waist and pointed it at Long Chuqing, saying, "Who's lurking around like that?"
As soon as Long Chuqing leaped onto the roof, he encountered Qingying, who had gotten up early. He had originally planned to go up to the roof to watch the sunrise, but he didn't expect to see a sneaky figure as soon as he got up.
When she saw her clearly, Qingying was obviously taken aback for a moment, and then sheathed her sword with a question in her eyes.
Qingying looked slightly surprised and asked in confusion, "Miss Long... what are you doing here so early in the morning? I thought a thief had broken in!"
Long Chuqing thought to herself, "Oh no, sigh... I've actually been found out."
She wrapped her cloak tighter around herself.
She lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, then looked up at Qingying with a bright smile on her face: "Haha... It's Qingying! What a coincidence! Um... Good morning! What are you doing here?"
She awkwardly touched her nose and asked timidly, "Um... if I said I just happened to be passing by here, would you believe me?"
Qingying looked at her suspiciously, her eyes darting around, looking like she had done something wrong. Something was off.
He thought about it for a moment, a glint of wisdom flashing in his eyes. He swung his arms and said with a smile, "Hehe...yes! What a coincidence! This spot is the best for watching the sunrise. I often come up here to stretch my muscles and watch the sunrise. Are you here to watch the sunrise too?"
Long Chuqing thought to herself, "Why bother looking at the sunrise when it's so cold! Isn't it more comfortable to stay in bed and sleep?"
"I'm not going to look at it. I'm just passing by. You can take your time looking at it. Um... I'll be going now."
Without waiting for Qingying's reply, she leaped from the rooftop toward Qiushui Pavilion.
Qingying craned her neck to look in the direction she disappeared, then revealed a sly and meaningful smile.
He stroked his chin and muttered to himself, "Nonsense, trying to fool me. I clearly saw her come up from the Prince's bedroom, and her hair was disheveled and she was dressed so thinly, she looked like she had just gotten up."
No, I need to talk to my brothers and analyze this.
Thinking about it, he jumped off the roof, ignoring the sunrise, and ran towards Wenxin Courtyard with a gossipy heart.
When Qingying returned and told everyone what had happened, a meaningful smile appeared on everyone's face.
When a group of people get together and have nothing to do, their curiosity inevitably gets the better of them; after all, who can resist the allure of gossip?
After hearing this, Qingyang asked in confusion, "When did she go in? Didn't anyone notice? If they had, they would have come back and told us last night. Who was on night duty last night?"
Everyone was still having a good time when his question pulled them back to reality.
“It’s Qingzhou…” Qingshan said, pointing to Qingzhou who had just returned from his shift.
Qingzhou had just stepped into the house when he saw Qingshan pointing at him and a group of people sneaking around whispering.
He looked bewildered and said unhappily, "Why are you pointing at me! What did I do?"
Qingshan straightened his expression and stared at Qingzhou with a serious face, thinking of scaring him.
