This was the first time that Dugu Yu had such close contact with a young woman. Although he and Wen Xuanwu were childhood sweethearts, because Wen Xuanwu had always been aloof from him and he upheld the style of a gentleman, the two of them became sensible adults.
After that, they actually didn't even hold hands, let alone any other intimate gestures.
The pure natural fragrance of her daughter's house filled her nostrils, and all the muscles and veins in Nangong Yu's body seemed to be suppressed, causing him to be unable to move even if he wanted to.
Looking at Nangong Yu's dull and strange expression, Zhenliang thought he had fallen somewhere, so he waved a hand in front of him and said, "Third Prince, are you okay?"
After hearing this, Nangong Yu's expression was still blank, and the woman's concerned voice floated into his ears softly and charmingly, as if it could easily touch his heartstrings.
"Third Prince? Third Prince?"
Zhenliang continued to shout several times, and Nangong Yu finally came back to his senses. His clear eyes fell firmly on Zhenliang's masked face and asked, "Are you okay? Rabbit?"
"Haha," Zhenliang was amused by Nangong Yu's too slow reaction, and joked, "It's okay, but if you don't get up, something will really happen to me."
Nangong Yu immediately lowered his head and found that he was pressing against Zhen Liang's side. His handsome face instantly turned red and he said, "Sorry, sorry."
Somewhat helpless, Nangong Yu got up from the ground. Without thinking much, Nangong Yu stretched out a hand towards Zhenliang. When Zhenliang took his hand and stood up without thinking much, he suddenly stood up again.
Withdrew his hand.
"Ouch——" Zhenliang fell heavily to the ground again while he was halfway up. Fortunately, the thick snow was padding his buttocks, so he didn't feel any pain.
When Zhenliang's soft little hand put his big hand, Nangong Yu felt that the world was spinning in front of his eyes. While feeling strange, he also suddenly realized Zhenliang's identity. Therefore, under the teaching that men and women should not be intimate, he could only
Neng withdrew his hand urgently, without even having time to take care of Zhenliang.
Hearing Zhenliang's cry of pain, Nangong Yu was dumbfounded and regretted it deeply. However, if he was asked to extend his hand to Zhenliang again, he would really lose the courage he had just now.
Zhenliang pretended to be angry and glared at Nangong Yu who looked remorseful, and asked, "Did you do this on purpose?"
Nangong Yu immediately denied it, "No, no, I...Rabbit, I..."
In an instant, Zhenliang suddenly understood where his entanglement came from, and couldn't help but laugh, "Is it because men and women are not close to each other that you gave up on pulling me up?"
Nangong Yu nodded honestly, "Yeah."
Zhenliang shook his head helplessly, "Don't you think it's too late? My hand has already touched yours. No matter how fast you throw it away, you can't change the fact that my hands have touched. So, why are you bothering?
"You did something bad and didn't tell me, and then caused me to fall again. This is a really big sin. I must tell the emperor."
Looking at Zhenliang's candid and sincere eyes, Nangong Yu was not so stupid that he couldn't understand what she meant, so he asked in disbelief, "Rabbit, you... you don't mind?"
Zhenliang said, "If I suddenly fall off the cliff, and you obviously have time to hold my hand and rescue me, will you choose to save me or not?"
Nangong Yu was easily brought into the situation of falling off the cliff by Zhenliang. His heart twitched for no reason, and he immediately said, "Help."
"Isn't that right?" Zhenliang nodded with satisfaction, "We cannot generalize whether men and women are intimate or not. When the importance of other things outweighs it, it can be discarded appropriately. What do you think?"
Nangong Yu nodded in agreement, and at the same time felt deeply shocked by Zhenliang's words. Although this principle sounds very simple, how many people can understand it, or can do it at a critical moment?
Feeling deeply guilty for his action of withdrawing his hand just now, Nangong Yu decisively stretched out his right hand towards Zhenliang this time and said, "Rabbit, please get up?"
Zhenliang generously put her hand on his again, "Then I'll give you a compliment."
When Zhenliang tightened Nangong Yu's hand and exerted force, Nangong Yu also started to exert force. Zhenliang was easily pulled up from the ground by Nangong Yu.
After Zhenliang stood firm, he naturally let go of Nangong Yu's hand, while Nangong Yu's hand remained slightly curled, as if Zhenliang's hand was still in his palm and had not left for a long time.
Seeing that there were a lot of snowflakes on Zhenliang's body, Nangong Yu reminded him, "Brush off the snowflakes quickly to prevent moisture from getting in."
Although he really wanted to help her dust the snowflakes off her body, he knew better that the matter of dusting the snowflakes was far less important than the matter of men and women being intimate.
Therefore, he cannot and cannot go beyond the rules.
"Oh, thank you, Third Prince, for reminding me."
Zhenliang smiled and dusted off the snowflakes on his clothes. After dusting them off, he raised his head and his eyes widened.
Yinye and the little guard, who were not far away from the opposite side just now, disappeared without knowing it, as if they had disappeared out of thin air.
Zhenliang quickly turned around, but wherever he looked, there was no sign of the two of them.
"Hey," Zhenliang said in confusion, "Yinye, where are your followers?"
Nangong Yu was also surprised at the same time. It was really unbelievable that these two people disappeared in such a short period of time.
Yinye is Zhenliang's maid, he doesn't understand it, but he knows his entourage very well. Although she is young and innocent, she will not leave at will without his permission.
In Zhenliang's eyes, even if Yinye left for something, he would not leave without telling her. Therefore, she began to worry, "Will something happen to them?"
Nangong Yu quickly comforted him, "Don't panic. Let's go look for them. Look, there are their footprints on the ground. It should be easy to find them."
After being reminded by Nangong Yu, Zhenliang immediately lowered his head and looked at the ground. Sure enough, because the snow was very thick, they left two rows of clear footprints.
Zhenliang's heart felt a little relieved when he saw the footprints that continued to lead into the distance, but he still couldn't figure out what the two people were going to do when they left at the same time without making a sound.
Involuntarily, Zhenliang thought of the scene where Yinye kept making glances at the little guard just now, and secretly thought, maybe Yinye seduced the little guard away alone and wanted to enjoy the world between the two of them?
If that were the case, she, as the master, would definitely not bother him.
However, she couldn't just ignore their life and death lightly before confirming whether they were just getting along alone.
Seeing that Nangong Yu was already following the footprints step by step, Zhenliang quickly followed Nangong Yu's footsteps.
Zhenliang thought that maybe Nangong Yu was too focused and eager to find someone, and his pace was getting faster and faster, and he had no time to pay attention to her. He only occasionally looked back at her to make sure that she was not lost.
She didn't know that in Nangong Yu's heart, because he was a man, he had to be careful when doing things for a woman. He deliberately took a few steps ahead of her, not intentionally leaving her alone, but in case there was danger ahead.
At that time, he could block it alone, and she still had time to escape.
Finally, Nangong Yu's footsteps stopped in front of two huge rocks because he heard bursts of strange and unfamiliar sounds coming faintly from behind the giant rocks.
