Shocking! Five men are in love with the same woman!

The two were sitting very close to each other. Lingyan leaned closer to him, gently raised her hand, and lifted the veil slightly.

Through that narrow gap, her gaze, like a burning flame, landed directly on Lu Yanqing's sexy Adam's apple.

The next moment, she slowly leaned closer to him, her lips gently touching Lu Yanqing's Adam's apple, warm and soft, like a feather gently brushing against him.

Lu Yanqing's body stiffened abruptly, and his Adam's apple bobbed involuntarily.

Strands of her hair slipped from under her veil, gently brushing against Lu Yanqing's skin, bringing a tingling sensation.

Lu Yanqing clenched his fists tightly, trying hard to control the surging emotions in his heart.

She actually kissed him in front of everyone, amidst the surging crowd.

Although it was only his Adam's apple that was kissed.

But he was already overjoyed and extremely excited.

Once she had moved away from his Adam's apple, he asked in a hoarse voice, "Is this... your reward for me?"

His eyes burned with intense desire and an irrepressible passion.

Ling Yan chuckled and said, "Yes, a reward."

Before he could finish speaking, he pulled her close and kissed her passionately.

The veil tilted slightly during their passionate kiss, and Lingyan's hair fell down like a waterfall over her back.

Lu Yanqing's hands roamed over her back, caressing her slender waist.

Their breathing was rapid and disordered, and the sound of their heartbeats thundered in each other's ears like war drums.

At this moment, everything in the pavilion ceased to exist; the entire world consisted only of the two of them, immersed in this passionate and deep kiss.

They couldn't hear the loud conversations or the lively noise outside.

The surrounding veils swayed gently, partially concealing this ambiguous yet passionate scene, as if creating a private world that belonged only to them.

After the kiss ended, Lu Yanqing was slightly out of breath, and Ling Yan leaned against him to calm her breathing.

Lu Yanqing held her in his arms and asked in a hoarse voice, "Can we not go back to the Prince's Mansion tonight?"

Ling Yan's breathing had become steady by now. She looked at him and smiled, "Of course."

Lu Yanqing smiled broadly.

His smile was as bright and radiant as a flower blooming in spring.

The light in his eyes shone even brighter because of Lingyan's agreement, as if even the surrounding air became sweeter.

The two then tidied themselves up before sitting down a little further apart.

Let's turn our gaze back to the outside of the pavilion.

Throughout the manor, the sounds of poetry being recited rose and fell, and sparks of thought collided intensely.

Sometimes people are amazed by a brilliant line of poetry and exclaim in delight; other times, they fall into deep thought because of a unique insight.

Sunlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves, scattering like broken gold across them, creating dappled patches of light.

A gentle breeze brought a touch of coolness, but it did nothing to extinguish their passion and dedication to learning.

Before we knew it, the sun was setting, and the evening glow painted the sky into a magnificent and colorful picture.

The scholars and literati were still reluctant to leave, and they agreed to meet again next time to continue to roam freely in this poetic world and relentlessly explore the profound truths of knowledge.

Lingyan really enjoyed this kind of occasion.

I can come and visit more often in the future.

Before I knew it, I had spent the whole afternoon watching, and even had dinner during that time.

At this moment, she and Lu Yanqing got up and left the manor, satisfied.

The two continued their stroll through the mountains and fields, Lu Yanqing holding her hand, his smile warm and content.

He spoke softly, his words revealing an indescribable sense of happiness: "I always think about meeting you and doing other things, but every time we meet, I can't help but want to possess you again and again. Today, I can finally do other things with you freely and peacefully, just like other couples. It's so good."

Lingyan looked at his expression, which was so satisfied and content, clearly showing that he was very happy about it.

Lingyan replied, "If you like, we can go out for a stroll often in the future."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yanqing felt a surge of joy.

He held Lingyan's hand tightly, as if to engrave this promise in his heart: "Okay, it's a deal. Once you've agreed, you can't go back on your word."

Lingyan nodded to indicate that she understood.

Lu Yanqing's smile became even brighter.

Until the stars shone brightly, night quietly fell.

A gentle autumn breeze swept by, carrying a hint of chill, rustling the distant woods like the whispers of the night.

Ling Yan turned to Lu Yanqing and asked, "Aren't we going back?"

Lu Yanqing was completely excited at this moment, filled with anticipation, excitement, and the joy of about to achieve her wish.

Lingyan looked at him, puzzled.

This wasn't the first time for the two of them. Even if he knew what was going to happen, why was he behaving so strangely?

Upon hearing her question, Lu Yanqing quickly replied, "No."

Then he slowly approached her and whispered in her ear.

After hearing this, Lingyan looked at him with a complicated expression.

She's quite the player; I'm kind of looking forward to it too.
