BXBX NOVEL Chapter 402 - Why Could He Not Obtain It? (1)
It was nearly impossible to avoid touching Gong Yi Mo\'s neck. When he did accidentally brush her neck, he was spooked as a startled bird, jerking his hand down!
But the tenderness of her skin made him wonder if it was actually warm jade he had touched instead. This thought made him uncomfortable, so taking advantage of the moment, he…purposefully touched it again, making sure it was skin, and not a mere hallucination.
This body of skin, like warm jade…after today, who would it belong to?
His face heated up at the thought. At this moment, Gong Yi Mo put down her hair and turned back around.
"How does it look?"
Her long eyelashes blinked…
Hair as black as ink, clothing of pure white, as well as the prismatic Liu Li on her neck, what could be more beautiful than her?
Jin Yun unknowingly began to stare. He…had watched her gradually grow from a simple young girl to a great leader. He…felt that retraining himself only became harder.
"It\'s pretty."
His voice sounded hoarse, but Gong Yi Mo didn\'t notice. She was too excited about the gift she had received, observing the glistening necklace in her hand.
For her, Jin Yun was inferior. He was so inferior that he was afraid to speak of his love aloud.
She was a girl who was rebelling against her country, and he…for the sake of his country, had put down his dignity as a man to be a prince for Ge Ji.
She had saved him many times, twice even saving his dignity and spirit at one point. If it weren\'t for her, he might\'ve been long dead.
As for her, while in the process of growing, with nothing left, brought him along. In a way, for him to have the achievements he had gotten today was the result of Gong Yi Mo pushing him along the way…
So he stood in front of her without anything to say for himself, because he himself knew it clearly. He was not good enough for Gong Yi Mo, so…because of this inferiority, he had withstood it for three years, hiding it deep within his heart, only hoping she would remain at Yu Heng a little longer, just a while longer.
These memories were his greatest treasure.
But now standing in her garden, underneath the plum blossoms that were in full bloom, she held the Liu Bo to the winter sun to shine through. As the sunlight pierced through the Liu Li and landed on her face, it left a trail of colors behind. She smiled gently, leaving behind an alluring silhouette, as the color dimly faded away.
Like this…why couldn\'t he have her?
Jin Yun\'s heartbeat was like thunder. It was the first time he had questioned himself like this.
And in doing so, surprised himself.
——
With such a brave mindset on his mind, Jin Yun was no longer as uptight as he was prior, but…slowly became closer to her, attempting to find out her opinion of him.
…It must be pretty bad. If it hadn\'t been for her, he would\'ve long been sent to Lou Ye where he could\'ve died, or perhaps he and his mother could\'ve been ruined. It was because of this that she never had any sort of feelings for him, only seeing him as a friend instead.
When he had thoughts like these in the past, the heat inside his heart would be quickly pushed down by the inferiority. However, as he saw Gong Yi Mo\'s small face, that inferiority seemed to become blinded by a strong desire! It allowed him to slowly want to move, unable to control himself anymore!
After so many years, what appeared was someone who allowed him to love so deeply! He so desperately wanted to hold onto it!
It was alright if he wasn\'t good enough. He would always treat her well! He would listen to her for the rest of eternity as compensation…stay, stay in Yu Heng, with him for the rest of their lives!
