Chapter 107 Xiao Beiming is Jealous

Luo Chentian finished packing his things and looked up to see Luo Chujiu standing outside the window looking at him.

"Eldest sister, you've come."

Luo Chentian's eyes were full of surprise; he hadn't expected to see his elder sister before leaving.

"Have you packed your luggage?"

"Yes, I just finished packing. Did you know I was going to Jiangnan, elder sister?"

"Yes, I heard it from my fourth senior brother, so I made a point of seeing you before you leave."

Upon hearing Luo Chujiu's words, Luo Chentian couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips:
"Thank you for your concern, elder sister. I will be careful and take good care of myself during my trip to Jiangnan."

"Yes, you're with Shen Zangfeng. He's my nephew, and you're my brother. Logically speaking, you're his elder. If you need anything, just ask Shen Zangfeng. Don't be polite with him, understand?"

Hearing Luo Chujiu's earnest advice, Luo Chentian couldn't help but laugh out loud.

“Alright, Chen Tian will keep it in mind. However, it’s not safe for my elder sister to come to the Luo residence so late and go back alone.”

Although Luo Chentian liked it when Luo Chujiu came to see him, it was always late at night, and it wasn't safe for a young woman to come alone.

Hearing Luo Chentian say that, Luo Chujiu smiled:

"Don't worry, I'm safe. But you, I've done a divination for you. This trip to Jiangnan will be extremely dangerous. I can't give you anything else, but I'll give you a talisman to ward off bad luck. It can help you avoid disaster in a critical moment."

Without wasting any words, Luo Chujiu took out a good luck charm and put it into Luo Chentian's hand.

Luo Chentian held the amulet that turned misfortune into good fortune firmly in his hand.

"Thank you for the talisman, elder sister."

"You're welcome. It's getting late, so I'll head back now."

"I escorted my elder sister back to the Imperial Preceptor's residence—"

"No need, I can go back by myself. If you take me back and then come back, it will be dawn by the time you return. You should get some rest. I'm leaving now."

After saying that, Luo Chujiu didn't give Luo Chentian a chance to refuse and walked straight out the window.

Luo Chentian chuckled:
"My elder sister is really something. There's no one else around. She could have just left through the main gate. Why did she have to jump out of the window?"

However, Luo Chentian seems to have also discovered that Luo Chujiu has a particular fondness for jumping out of windows.

After leaving the Luo residence, Luo Chujiu went directly to the Xiao Prince's residence. The Luo residence and the Xiao Prince's residence were on the same road, so it was on the way.

Just as Nan Ke was about to go to rest, he saw Luo Chujiu swagger into the prince's courtyard.

"Miss Luo—"

Where is your prince?

"His Highness has just retired for the night. Shall I wake him up?"

Luo Chujiu raised her hand, stopping Nan Ke from waking Xiao Beiming. "No need, I'll just go in."

Nan Ke glanced at Luo Chujiu, wanting to say something, but ultimately swallowed his words and silently made way for Luo Chujiu to enter Xiao Beiming's room.

Just as Xiao Beiming was about to rest, he heard Luo Chujiu and Xiao Beiming talking outside the door. So he didn't lie down, but sat on the edge of the bed, waiting for Luo Chujiu to come in and find him.

Luo Chujiu thought Xiao Beiming had already gone to bed, but as soon as she entered the room, her eyes met Xiao Beiming's.

"Hello, you're still awake?"

"Xiao Jiu seems a little disappointed to see that I'm not asleep?"

"Well, I wouldn't say I'm disappointed, but it's a bit hard to get a good deal here."

Luo Chujiu waved her hand and said in a serious tone.

Xiao Beiming was taken aback at first, then smiled:
"If Xiao Jiu wants to take advantage of me, I can do so even when I'm sober."

Upon hearing his words, Luo Chujiu immediately understood and walked up to him. Since Xiao Beiming was sitting, Luo Chujiu stood, lowered her head slightly, and looked down at him.

"Then I'm going to kiss you."

"Alright, you can kiss me." Xiao Beiming chuckled, having never seen a woman as bold, straightforward, and genuine as Luo Chujiu.

"But I feel bad with your eyes open, so please close them."

Luo Chujiu had many rules about family, but Xiao Beiming was happy to go along with her and simply closed his eyes.

A moment later, Xiao Beiming felt the warm touch on his lips, and they separated immediately.

Xiao Beiming opened his eyes with slight displeasure and looked at her:
"that's it?"

"Mmm, it tastes pretty good, I'll come again next time!"

Luo Chujiu smacked her lips and said with great satisfaction.

However, Xiao Beiming was clearly not satisfied with this brief kiss, and directly reached out and pulled Luo Chujiu into his arms.

Luo Chujiu straddled his lap and wrapped her arms around his neck in a very intimate manner.

"Your Highness, what are you doing?"

"Call me by my name."

"Xiao Beiming".

"Call me by my full name, not my surname."

"Brother Beiming~~"

Luo Chujiu's main characteristic is that she is always willing to help, so Xiao Beixiang listened and she said what she wanted to say.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Beiming smiled with satisfaction:

"Little Jiu, you don't even know how to take advantage of others? Do you need me to teach you?"

"Okay, then Brother Beiming, teach me how to take advantage of others."

Luo Chujiu looked like she was humbly seeking advice.

"Are you someone else?" Xiao Beiming raised an eyebrow, as if Luo Chujiu would be punished if she answered the question wrong.

"It's none other than Brother Beiming's person~~"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Beiming smiled even more, lifted Luo Chujiu's chin, and kissed her.

It has to be said that Xiao Beiming's kissing skills are quite good. Every time they are intimate, Luo Chujiu feels very comfortable, and then she closes her eyes and enjoys it.

After a long while, Xiao Beiming let Luo Chujiu go. When he saw her leaning on his shoulder, her breath unsteady, he couldn't hide his smile.

"You came out so late just to get intimate with me?" Xiao Beiming asked Luo Chujiu.

"No, my brother was going to Jiangnan to help with the flood control, so I went to see him off, gave him a talisman, and then came to find you on the way."

Luo Chujiu was just telling the truth and didn't notice that the smile in Xiao Beiming's eyes had faded a lot.

"Oh? So you only came to see me casually?"

"Yeah, if my fourth senior brother finds out that I came out in the middle of the night specifically to take advantage of you, he'll definitely scold me. Not only will he scold me, but he'll also target you."

Luo Chujiu looked at Xiao Beiming with great seriousness and said.

Xiao Beiming's expression was inscrutable, but he was clearly not very happy.

"Since Xiao Jiu only came to see me on the way, and now that you've seen me and kissed me, Xiao Jiu should go back. Don't let the Imperial Advisor find out that you came to see me."

Xiao Beiming released Luo Chujiu, as if he were about to abandon her after pulling up his pants.

Luo Chujiu was amused by the situation, then realized that Xiao Beiming was jealous:

"You're so petty. You're angry just because I didn't come here specifically to see you? Humph, if I hadn't gone to take my brother home tonight, you wouldn't even have gotten a chance to come along."

Luo Chujiu crossed her arms and said with an arrogant expression, "Xiao Beiming is a bit ungrateful."

It's his honor that I'm here to see him, yet he still insists on whether I came specifically to see him! I'm spoiling him rotten!
