C20 At the End of the Boat Feast

Zhu Shuang was walking in front of Dugu Jingyu, paying close attention to her with every step, and only after confirming that the path ahead was safe did he lead Dugu Jingyu onto the small boat.

Soon, the two of them sat on the small boat with a river lantern in their hands. At this moment, it was unusually quiet beside their ears. In the narrow space, there were only the two of them. The two of them looked at each other, and Zhu Shuang was the first to break the deadlock.

"I... But he looks very similar to Prince Consort?"

Zhu Shuang's voice was gentle and a little hoarse. It could be heard that Zhu Shuang cared a lot about this problem.

Dugu Jingyu nodded honestly, and Zhu Shuang chuckled a few times. Due to the mask, Dugu Jingyu could not see Zhu Shuang's expression.

"No wonder back then at the Floating Immortal House... Yu looked at me as if she had seen me for ten thousand years. I thought... Sigh..."

Zhu Shuang's tone was extremely disillusioned with the world, and in an instant, Dugu Jingyu felt that treating Zhu Shuang as Zhu Qing was disrespectful to Zhu Shuang.

"I know it's a sacrilege. You can leave when you get on board, and I'll pay you for it."

Zhu Shuang slowly grabbed Dugu Jingyu's hand and continued to speak gently, "Unless Yu lets me go, I won't leave Yu. As long as Yu is happy, just treat me as a shadow. "

Zhu Shuang seemed so lowly, which made Dugu Jingyu feel pity for him, and just as Dugu Jingyu was about to speak, Zhu Shuang said again, "Yu, don't think about giving me money in the future. I didn't come here to get along with Yu for money."

If not for money, then for what?

Zhu Shuang had said that more than once, and his repeated actions had no choice but to make Dugu Jingyu suspicious, which was also what made Dugu Jingyu curious.

"Why are you doing this to me?"

Zhu Shuang smiled and picked up the river lantern beside him. "Why don't we put the lantern on first? I'll slowly explain it to Yu after I pray for blessings."

After all, there was plenty of time. Dugu Jingyu nodded, picked up the pen on the table, and wrote her wish on the bamboo stick with Zhu Shuang.

After Zhu Shuang finished writing his wish, he stood up and sat on the same mat as Dugu Jingyu. He placed the bamboo stick with his wish on the river lantern, and after Dugu Jingyu finished writing, she also placed the bamboo stick on the river lantern.

Together, the two of them placed the river lantern on the surface of the lake, and set off ripples to let the river lantern go further.

"I heard that the River God will first realize those easy wishes. I hope that what Yu wants can be realized as soon as possible."

"The country is peaceful and the people are at peace. The weather is good. My wish has been fulfilled."

"Yu is so kind to the world! It's just the Lantern Festival once a year, why doesn't Yu ask for it for herself?"

Dugu Jingyu hesitated when she was writing her wish. She had wanted to write down her wish to harmonize with Zhu Qing several times, but she was unable to do so in the end.

Dugu Jingyu seemed to be carefree as she said, "I have never believed in these things. Putting on the lights was just for the sake of adapting to the situation, and my wish was just a casual write."

Zhu Shuang picked up a towel and wiped his hand that had just touched the lake water. He tentatively tried to hold Dugu Jingyu in his arms.

Seeing that Dugu Jingyu did not resist Zhu Shuang said, "Yu made me play the Prince Consort in front of Princess Huanyu because she was afraid that I would be taken away?"

"How did you know?"

Dugu Jingyu was shocked, she did not expect Zhu Shuang to see through it. In the past, as long as it was something she liked, Dugu Huanyu would fight for it. Even when she wanted to marry Zhu Qing back then, Dugu Huanyu tried her best to win Zhu Qing over because Zhu Qing was the person she liked.

"When I changed the river lantern just now, I could tell that Yu liked the magpie river lantern very much, but Princess Huanyu said that she wanted to go over. At that time, I was wondering if Princess Huanyu would do the same if she knew my identity."

"Smart."

This time, Dugu Jingyu had a whole new level of respect for Zhu Shuang. At this time, Zhu Shuang hugged Dugu Jingyu a little tighter, and Zhu Shuang whispered in Dugu Jingyu's ear: "Does that mean that I have a place in Yu's heart, or at least that she doesn't want me to be taken away?"

Dugu Jingyu was silent, and even now she was not sure what she thought at the time, and Dugu Jingyu avoided the question. "You haven't told me why you're doing this to me."

Zhu Shuang did not choose to get to the bottom of it, allowing Dugu Jingyu to change the topic.

Recalling the scene when he first met Dugu Jingyu, Zhu Shuang said with a voice as gentle as water, "What a sweet smile, what a beautiful gaze."

"Could it be... Love at first sight?"

"I don't believe that a person like me, who has read countless people, would be able to see it for ten thousand years. I thought my heart was numb, but I didn't expect it to be reborn after seeing Yu. "I...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

" Enough. "Dugu Jingyu interrupted Zhu Shuang's words.

Dugu Jingyu did not want to hear Zhu Shuang's confession. At this time, Dugu Jingyu could no longer tell whether Zhu Shuang's words were true or false. Since that was the case, Dugu Jingyu might as well take what she needed, hook Zhu Shuang's chin, and kiss him.

Zhu, I have found your shadow. This is what you want!

Originally, Dugu Jingyu only wanted to give him a light kiss, just to show that she didn't interrupt Zhu Shuang because he said something wrong.

But after Zhu Shuang grabbed Dugu Jingyu's cold lips, he closed his eyes and kissed her deeply. He took control of Dugu Jingyu and wrapped her cold lips in the gentlest way possible.

Zhu Shuang reached his hand into Dugu Jingyu's hair and fixed her head, which was tilted back. In a few moments, he had pried open Dugu Jingyu's line of defense and tasted the sweetness inside.

Dugu Jingyu thought of all the things Zhu Qing had done to her and the Wish Talisman that Zhu Qing had asked for, so she did not resist Zhu Shuang. She closed her eyes and tried to accept this deep kiss.

Zhu Shuang skillfully swam in the sweetness, treating every region he plundered gently, and leading Dugu Jingyu to linger. Slowly, Dugu Jingyu tasted the joy of it, and gradually indulged in this kiss.

"Wu!"

The prolonged entanglement almost suffocated Dugu Jingyu. Hearing the light snort, Zhu Shuang slowly left Dugu Jingyu's lips and licked his own.

Dugu Jingyu gasped for breath, and Zhu Shuang held Dugu Jingyu's flushed face in both hands and let out a gentle laugh.

Dugu Jingyu asked in a low voice, "What are you laughing at?"

"My Yu is still an inexperienced child."

Zhu Shuang felt the awkwardness in Dugu Jingyu's kiss just now, so Zhu Shuang was sure that the kiss just now must have been Dugu Jingyu's first kiss.

Dugu Jingyu also felt a little green in her heart for a moment, but she did not show it on her face. Dugu Jingyu thought that Zhu Shuang was laughing at her performance just now, and pretended to be calm as she said coldly, "The lights are off. Get on board."

Only then did Zhu Shuang let go of Dugu Jingyu and smiled as he pulled on the bell on the boat that was connected to the main ship. Soon, the eunuchs on the boat pulled the boat back.
