Li Chu and Dugu Jingyao, like two magnets drawn to each other, embraced each other tightly, as if time had frozen in time. After about a quarter of an hour, they slowly released each other's embrace, filled with endless attachment. However, as they separated, their eyes involuntarily met.

Dugu Jingyao raised her head slightly and stared at Li Chu in front of her, with a gentle light in her eyes. At the same time, Li Chu lowered his head and his eyes met Dugu Jingyao's. In an instant, the atmosphere around them gradually heated up like a bonfire, and the originally cold air seemed to become warm.

Gradually, the distance between them became smaller and smaller, and their bodies involuntarily moved closer. Li Chu couldn't help but gently kiss Dugu Jingyao's forehead. The gentle touch was like a feather brushing against the heart, causing ripples in one's heart. Then, his lips slowly moved to Dugu Jingyao's nose and landed on her delicate lips.

At first, it was just a light kiss, but as the emotions surged, the kiss became deeper and more passionate, and both of them were immersed in it, forgetting everything else.

Dugu Jingyao was a little shy at first, with a faint blush on her cheeks, but as Li Chu's kiss became more and more intense, she gradually let go of her reserve and threw herself into this sweet kiss. Their breathing intertwined, their heartbeats as rapid as drums, and it seemed that the whole world was just the two of them.

Just as the two were immersed in this wonderful moment, two other people outside the rockery were enduring the severe cold.

Feng Shengyi followed Li Chu out of the room and stood outside for a long time. He had repeatedly persuaded Li Chu to return to Zhaoyang Palace, but his own prince was firm: "Jingyao will definitely come. Let's wait another quarter of an hour. If she really doesn't come, we will go back."

What Feng Shengyi never expected was that Princess Yi'an actually showed up as promised...

Feng Shengyi had originally stood upright, motionless like a statue, his posture akin to a standard military stance. However, as time went on, he gradually lost his composure, his body trembling slightly, and his hands unconsciously rubbing together.

Shi Jian, standing nearby, took in all of this, and a wave of pity welled up in her heart. A hint of shyness flashed through her eyes, but she couldn't contain her concern and asked softly, "Master Feng, are you very cold?"

Perhaps it was Dugu Jingyao's sudden visit that forced Feng Shengyi and Li Chu to endure the bitter cold for a while longer. Although he understood that Dugu Jingyao was not to blame, he still felt a little irritated, and his attitude towards Shi Jian was a little stiff: "This is all thanks to your princess. If it weren't for this, Your Highness and I could have returned to the warmth and comfort of Zhaoyang Palace long ago!"

Shi Jian was clearly a bit surprised by Feng Shengyi's unfriendly response. But after a moment of shock, she quickly recovered and thought: Yeah, if anyone were to suffer from the cold for a long time on such a windy night, they would probably complain, right?

Thinking of this, Shi Jian's tone became more gentle and graceful: "I'm so sorry, Lord Feng. I happen to have a hand warmer here. If you don't mind, you can use it to warm yourself for a while." As she said that, she carefully handed the hand warmer in her hand to Feng Shengyi.

Feng Shengyi was momentarily taken aback by Shi Jian's unexpected attitude. However, he was still Li Chu's attendant after all, so he quickly recovered.

Although he was reluctant to take it, his body seemed to be completely out of his control and he reached out and took the hand warmer. Feng Shengyi cursed himself inwardly: How could my hands be so useless! Why did I have to take it?

Now that things had come to this, having already accepted the hand warmer, refusing would have seemed hypocritical. Helplessly, Feng Shengyi could only bite the bullet and thank Shi Jian: "Thank you very much, Miss Shi Jian!" His words, though still a little reluctant, were much kinder than before.

Shi Jian was overjoyed to see Feng Shengyi finally accept the hand warmer he offered her. But she didn't get carried away. Instead, she humbly replied, "You're welcome. Ultimately, it's all because of my late arrival that you've all been left here cold and suffering... I'm truly sorry!" Her words were sincere and endearing, endearing.

Feng Shengyi stared at Shi Jian, who was sincerely admitting his mistake like a child who had made a mistake. A trace of doubt arose in his heart, and he wondered if his attitude just now was too harsh.

Then, he raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, and said in a half-joking tone: "It's okay, Miss Shijian, this matter is not your fault. If there is anything to blame, it is only because my prince and your princess have a deep bond and are so in tune with each other that even without any prior appointment, they can still appear in the same place at the same time..."

Upon hearing this, Shi Jian hurriedly echoed Feng Shengyi's words, "That's right! No wonder even the current emperor thinks that His Royal Highness Prince Guangping and my princess are a perfect match made in heaven!" After she finished speaking, a gentle and lovely smile appeared on her face. That smile was like a blooming spring flower, warming people's hearts.

This charming smile happened to catch Feng Shengyi's eye, and he suddenly felt that the woman before him was not only gentle and dignified, but even more so than his own princess. What was the reason for this? Could it be...

Just as Feng Shengyi was lost in these thoughts, Shi Jian suddenly sneezed loudly, jolting him back to reality from his reverie. Feng Shengyi was startled, once again realizing that he seemed to have lost control of his body. He involuntarily took a step forward and asked with concern, "Miss Shi Jian, are you okay?"

As he spoke, he took out the hand warmer again and carefully handed it to Shi Jian. Then, he slowly raised his head, a faint smile on his lips, and looked at Shi Jian with a firm and caring gaze, saying softly, "Or I should give it back to you. I have always practiced martial arts and am as strong as an ox. Even if I occasionally catch a cold, I can recover quickly. But you, as a woman, are inherently fragile. If you accidentally catch an illness, I'm afraid you will need to take good care of yourself before you can recover. Therefore, this hand warmer is more important to you. You must not let the cold invade your body."

Feng Shengyi's thoughtful words reached Shi Jian's ears, like a warm current flowing into her heart, and she couldn't help but be moved. She looked at Feng Shengyi quietly, her eyes flashing with gratitude and emotion.

However, she still waved her hand gently and responded softly: "Thank you for your concern, Lord Feng. I'm fine, just a little cold. As for those sneezes just now, maybe someone is thinking of me from afar!~" After that, a sweet smile as bright as a spring flower bloomed on her face, like the rays of sunlight shining through the clouds, which made people feel happy.

Feng Shengyi looked at Shi Jian, who was smiling sweetly, and felt his heartbeat quicken, as if he had been cast under some kind of magical spell. In an instant, his cheeks felt hot, as if they were being roasted by fire, and even his breathing became rapid.

An indescribable emotion spread within him, and he began to wonder: Could it be that he had truly fallen in love with this beautiful and kind-hearted Sword Servant? The thought of this made him increasingly flustered, yet also tinged with a tinge of sweetness and anticipation...
