Chu Shao approached Xiao Jin while speaking softly.
Her sleeves fluttered and the ornaments on her waist jingled.
Although it was only a slight sound of jade and stone collision, Xiao Jin could clearly imagine the silver-white tassels hanging from the ornaments and the transparent glass beads.
The physician who was applying medicine had just left not long ago, but the faint scent of herbs still lingered in the room.
The mild and slightly bitter fragrance existed not only in the medicine jar but also in Chu Shao's breath.
Chu Shao's hair, which fell on her shoulders, was damp with the moisture after the rain.
Even her slightly curved eyes looked exceptionally clear and bright, like moonlight shining on a lake.
Even the wise would likely be lost in her gaze, let alone an ordinary person like Xiao Jin.
Especially when Chu Shao leaned closer to her ear and spoke with a smile and a coaxing tone, "Your Highness, have you ever thought of me even a little?"
If she said she had no thoughts, it would definitely be a lie.
In fact, after leaving the Yanyu Building that night, Xiao Jin dreamed of Chu Shao all night.
Although it was not a good dream, it was thrilling and breathtaking enough.
In the dream, Chu Shao reached out and grabbed her throat. The intermittent touch and kiss of her lips, along with the feeling of suffocation, were almost unavoidable.
However, at this moment, Chu Shao did not hold her neck, but Xiao Jin still felt a little suffocated because she was too close.
Close enough that she could even see the trembling of her eyelashes and the shallow shadows under her lower eyelids when she lifted her eyes.
Xiao Jin quietly watched Chu Shao, and many moments flashed through her mind.
After a long time, she raised her hand, intending to gently hold Chu Shao's face.
But just as she was about to touch her, she wiped away the water droplets that had not fallen from the tip of her hair.
The water droplets moistened her palm, and Xiao Jin looked at Chu Shao and replied, "No."
Chu Shao smiled, waiting for her to say the next sentence.
After a moment, Xiao Jin said in a slow voice, "My thoughts towards the Princess are more than just a little."
....
The night rain continued to patter.
Indoors fell into silence, like a silent spring rain that moistens everything.
Chu Shao listened to the sound of rain outside the window and smiled slightly, "Since it's not just a half, why do you never cross it?"
At this point, she looked gently into Xiao Jin's eyes and asked again, "And why do you always avoid my gaze?"
Xiao Jin remained silent for a long time.
After a while, she responded, "Princess, it's not that I deliberately avoid you, it's just..."
"Just what?" Chu Shao asked with a smile.
Just that she didn't know what to do.
In the end, Xiao Jin swallowed the words.
Because it was always like this.
Since coming to this world, she had many moments where she didn't know what to do.
