Chapter 289: Not on the Lips
289 Not on the Lips
Soujin looked towards Jun Hua who listened attentively. This was the first time he told this story to anyone. Even Yan and Ming Hui only got a portion of this story when he told them.
"It seems the Jun family is the example that makes your family avoided doom," Jun Hua smiled wryly.
Soujin laughed. "Yeah, it really looked like that way. But, the Nanglong family is not the only one who use these tactics."
"I know. The Lan family too, right? But, they failed in the end," Jun Hua said calmly.
"Has your fever come down?" Soujin raised his hand and slowly put it on the girl's forehead. The temperature has gone down. It seemed the girl has amazing recovery ability.
Jun Hua nodded. "I'm not that weak of a girl."
"I can see that," Soujin answered.
"So, does it mean that during that time, you're basically alone?"
"Only a few months since I meet Yan not long after that. As for Ming Hui, I only meet with him when I'm already 14. At that time, I returned back from the battlefield for around a week and get into another fight with Yan," Soujin answered.
"It seems that you keep on fighting with Prince Yan," Jun Hua felt amused. The two of them have a really weird relation, but it seemed that for guys talking was unneeded as most of the time things were finished by action.
"Fighting is the best form of communication."
Shouldn't it be talking? Jun Hua chose not to comment anything in this field as she smiled towards the guy in front of her.
"You're not alone and there are a lot of people out there with horrible past too," Jun Hua knew that the fate of people could change. Even if they have past that was really awful, anything could happen during their journey. Or even the opposite, people with a good childhood, but meeting doom when they grew up. Everything could happen.
"You too," Soujin may not know the detail about Jun Hua past, but he knew that the girl didn't have it easy too. Living in a remote village with a horrible reputation, he didn't know what the girl has gone through all this time.
"If Tian Ni knew about your past, I reckon she will say that you're perfect anymore," Jun Hua joked.
"I don't understand that girl's eye," Soujin didn't know why the girl would term him as a perfect person. He himself knew that he was not that perfect and there were a lot of things that he couldn't do as a person. In one field, he can say that he had a lot of knowledge, but he couldn't say that he knew every field.
"Me too," Jun Hua laughed. "For me, you're only an ordinary human. You have your own strength and weakness as a person, but most of the weakness cannot be seen."
She had stayed by his side and experience many things with him, so she knew some of them. The man that was adored by a lot of people was also a person, and he was not as perfect as everyone termed him to be.
"So, what do you know about me?" Soujin felt intrigued by the girl speech.
"You cannot accept defeat. If you do, you will try to avoid it and practice hard," for winning against Yan, she remembered that he asked her to train many times until she felt incredibly tired. "You cannot cook, and then you found it hard to console a girl…"
"When did I try to console a girl?" Soujin cut her speech.
"What do you do when I'm sick?" Jun Hua smirked.
That… he couldn't refute. During the time she was sick, he didn't know how to nurse her and consoled her. The only thing he could do was sitting by her side and waited for her.
"You should say nursing, I have never nursed a girl before you," Soujin corrected her.
Jun Hua chuckled. "What about your mother?"
"She is a woman, you're a girl."
Somehow Jun Hua got the feeling that even when she was dressed as Jun Hua, she couldn't avoid being called a kid by this man. Just how many times had he insulted her for being young? She couldn't really remember it anymore, but it was really annoying. She was not a kid anymore.
"I'm already 16, I should be categorized as a woman," Jun Hua pouted.
"It's only in Ming Kingdom. In Mountain Kingdom, woman is considered an adult at 17 years old."
"Really? Why I have never heard about that?"
Soujin could not say that he made it up. After all, he knew that she was already an adult, but he said that because he knew that he had to wait for a long time to have her. "It doesn't matter, we are in Kai Kingdom."
"What is the term for an adult woman in Kai Kingdom?"
"You're definitely younger."
"… Why are we arguing about this?"
The two of them looked towards each other and laughed. It seemed they were really childish for arguing such matter. However, it turned out that even joking around about useless things like that was fun.
Soujin looked towards Jun Hua who was laughing and couldn't help but lean in. Jun Hua was stunned to see the other party face so close that she unconsciously bowed down. As the result, before he could do what he wanted, his forehead already knocked with the other party forehead.
"OUCH!" the sound of two people groaning could be heard.
Jun Hua caressed her forehead and glared towards Soujin who wore a helpless expression. Thankfully they didn't use too much force, so it was not as hurt as it seemed. She only yelled out of surprise.
"You should learn from Yan how to do it right."
This time, it was Jun Hua's turn to insult Soujin, but the other party didn't mind it.
"You shouldn't compare me with Yan. His first attempt sends him to the hospital for a whole week," Soujin replied mischievously.
"Really? The girl must hate him so much," Jun Hua felt astonished. To make a girl hate him so much, yet Yan was famous for being a pervert… He was really something.
"You can ask the detail from him later," Soujin added, then he stared at Jun Hua again, "Can I do it?"
Jun Hua knew what he wanted to do, but she still hadn't finished everything. If she were to accept him now, she knew that it would be hard for her to separate from him again and during this time, she still needed to go for a long time. However, she did want to get close with him even for a moment.
After a slight hesitation, she answered, "Not on the lips."
Although the answer was a bit unexpected, he knew that she already accepted him. He would take his time to know her little by little. Soujin chuckled. He leaned in and planted a light kiss on her forehead.
