Chapter 260: Your Majesty, I... want you.
Chapter 260: Your Majesty, I... want you.
The moonlight is like a silver thread, spreading across the quaint backyard of the palace. A pool of hot springs is shrouded in mist, like the gentlest brushstrokes in the night, outlining a quiet and mysterious picture.
In the pool, the water vapor is thick, and two figures overlap, blurring the boundaries of time and space. Only heartbeats and breathing remain, resonating in this small space.
The night wind was a little cool, but it couldn't blow away the heat in his heart.
Lin Yi, the most inconspicuous guard in the palace, at this moment has eyes that are more dazzling than the brightest stars in the night sky.
He finally figured it out. Those constraints and repressions were nothing but shackles in his heart, and the person in front of him was the abyss he was willing to sink into in this life.
.......
He, Nangong Jin, the high and mighty prince, was dressed in such splendor that even the simplest bathrobe could hardly conceal his noble aura.
Lin Yi's gaze slid across Nangong Jin's slightly tired but still handsome face, and finally stopped at the hideous scar on his chest.
Those were the marks left by Nangong Jin in an accident in order to protect the Lin family. Every line recorded their past and ties.
"Your Majesty, you are always so reckless."
Lin Yi's voice was low and gentle, and his knuckles gently ran through Nangong Jin's wet hair, as if to comfort her, or to confirm the real feeling.
He no longer hesitated or suppressed himself, and the emotions that had been hidden for so long burst out like a flood that could not be controlled.
As Lin Yi approached, a hint of surprise flashed across Nangong Jin's eyes, which was then replaced by tenderness.
He had never expected that this usually taciturn and extremely loyal guard would have such a bold moment.
But this sudden intimacy made him feel unprecedented security and desire.
Their lips finally touched gently in the hazy mist, like the most delicate petals touching each other in spring, gentle yet firm.
Lin Yi's kiss went from light to deep, and every movement was filled with deep affection and admiration for Nangong Jin.
He is no longer the guard who only guards silently, but is willing to give up everything in exchange for every moment spent with the prince.
Time seemed to freeze at this moment, until Nangong Jin breathed softly, and the two reluctantly separated.
Taking advantage of this gap, Lin Yi took two steps at a time and pushed Nangong Jin to the edge of the hot spring pool, his eyes flashing with unprecedented heat and piety.
"Your Majesty, this subordinate... wants you."
Lin Yi almost whispered this sentence, but every word was clear and struck Nangong Jin's heart directly.
He had never thought that he would express his emotions so bluntly, but at this moment, all his concerns vanished, leaving only the purest desire.
A hint of surprise flashed across Nangong Jin's eyes, then turned into deep tenderness.
He gently raised his hand and brushed the hair on Lin Yi's forehead, the action full of pampering and care.
"Yier, do you know what this sentence means?"
Lin Yi smiled slightly, and there was an unprecedented determination and relief in that smile.
"Your Majesty, I understand. But my heart has long been yours. This scar is your honor, but it is also my pain. You say it doesn't hurt, but it aches for me. I am willing to sacrifice myself for you, not only to repay your kindness, but also because... I love you."
After saying that, he leaned forward again, and this time, his kiss fell on the scar on Nangong Jin's chest, softly and affectionately.
In his eyes, the scar was no longer a mark of pain, but an indelible bond between them.
Nangong Jin's body trembled slightly. He felt Lin Yi's affection and determination, and also felt the long-lost throbbing in his heart.
He put his arms around Lin Yi's waist and hugged the two of them tightly, as if he wanted to merge them into his bones and blood.
"Yier, do you know that I also..."
Nangong Jin's words were interrupted again by Lin Yi's kiss, but the unspoken affection no longer needed to be expressed in words.
The look they gave each other was enough to prove it all.
In the following time, it seemed as if the whole world stood still.
In the hot spring pool, the water ripples gently, reflecting the figures of the two people leaning on each other. Under the moonlight, everything seems so beautiful and unreal.
They snuggled up to each other, warmed each other, and forgot the troubles and constraints of the world, wishing that this moment would last forever.
When the passion gradually subsided, the two lay quietly by the pool, enjoying this rare tranquility.
Nangong Jin stroked Lin Yi's cheek, his eyes full of tenderness and doting.
"Yier, from now on, you are no longer just my guard, but also the most important person in my life, Nangong Jin."
When Lin Yi heard this, tears flashed in his eyes. They were tears of happiness.
"Your Majesty, I have no regrets in receiving such kindness from you. No matter what the future holds, I will follow you to the bitter end and never abandon you."
The two smiled at each other, and all words turned into silent understanding and affection.
They knew that from now on, rain or shine, they would go through it all together until the end of the world.
As the night deepened, the backyard of the palace remained quiet and peaceful.
The water in the hot spring has gradually cooled down, but the two hearts are getting hotter as they get closer to each other.
Lin Yi and Nangong Jin, the two male protagonists, left the hot spring together. After returning to their room to change clothes, Nangong Jin called Lin Yi to the study.
Lin Yi was puzzled, but he quickly came to the study. Nangong Jin took out a wooden box from the bookshelf, handed it to Lin Yi, and motioned him to open it.
Lin Yi opened the wooden box, and inside was a crystal clear jade pendant. "What is this?" Lin Yi looked up at Nangong Jin.
"This is what my mother left me. I have always treasured it."
Nangong Jin looked at Lin Yi and said,
"Now I give it to you as a token of our love."
Lin Yi was deeply moved. He took the jade pendant and put it on carefully.
From then on, their relationship became closer and they faced the challenges of the future together.
