598 Asking for A Kiss (3)

You're drinking from my teacup, Xie Jingxing reminded her.

Shen Miao subconsciously looked down and was so embarrassed that she wanted to leave the room. She suddenly felt that letting Xie Jingxing into the room tonight was the biggest mistake she had made!

Are you shy? Xie Jingxing seemed to like to see her embarrassed and continued to get close to her.

It's getting late. Shen Miao said seriously, Aren't you leaving?

Xie Jingxing did not speak and just stared at her for a while. His gaze was sharp and deep, and ordinary people could not withstand it. Shen Miao forced herself to be calm and looked into his eyes. A moment later, Xie Jingxing stood up and said, Forget it. Since you're shy, I won't disturb you anymore.

He walked to the window and Shen Miao stood up. Xie Jingxing opened the window, and the cold wind outside blew in, causing Shen Miao to shiver.

It's cold outside. There's no need to send me off. Xie Jingxing said, Thank you for letting me in. The tea is good, and the pastries are not bad. With an agile jump, he was already in the courtyard outside the window.

Shen Miao walked over and was about to close the window when she saw the handsome purple-robed young man suddenly turn around as if he had thought of something and smile gently.

By the way, you are quite cute when you are shy.

Shen Miao slammed the window shut.

She shouldn't have been soft-hearted to let him in! This person was too shameless!

After Shen Miao closed the window, she sat back on the bed and looked at the oil lamp at the head of the bed. It was so weak that it was about to go out. However, her eyes were abnormally bright and shiny, like top-grade pearls and gems, shining brightly in the dark.

She thought to herself that if it were in her previous life, what Xie Jingxing just did was punishable by death. She could scold him and get someone to drag him out to behead him, but in this life, she was teased but couldn't even talk back.

But why did she feel embarrassed?

Under the flickering light, with his head slightly lowered, she could almost see every one of his long eyelashes. His eyes were even more charming than the moonlight, and his lips were thin and cold

Shen Miao suddenly came back to her senses and slapped her forehead. She must have been too tired these days, so she was out of her mind. Women would be attracted to a good-looking person like Xie Jingxing. It was normal. However, she could not calm her heartbeat. When she lay on the bed, the corners of her lips subconsciously curled up slightly.

The winter in the capital was especially cold. The people who lived close to the emperor, even if they were just ordinary people, probably felt proud. They felt that they were different from ordinary people in other places and were more superior, let alone the officials and nobles. Therefore, every winter, people would wake up late. Other than the vendors who had to get up early to set up stalls on the street, ordinary people preferred to stay in their rooms to get warm.

It had snowed heavily all night yesterday, and it was extremely cold outside. Fortunately, the snow stopped early this morning, so people didn't mind going out. When it was slightly later, the streets gradually became more crowded.

After snowing for an entire night, the surface of the lake had already frozen into hard ice. The old men who liked fishing refused to come at this moment because it was difficult to even dig a hole in such hard ice. It was better to come when the weather was warmer.

Although there were fewer people fishing at Lake Wanli, there was a group of playful children. The surface of the lake was shiny, and children liked to sit on a piece of plank and skate on the ice. Most of these playful children were the children of the vendors on the street. Their mothers scolded them for dirtying their new jackets like this and were afraid that the ice would suddenly shatter. However, children at this age would not listen to their mothers obediently. They still secretly gathered around Lake Wanli to play.
