Azure Waterside remained the same luxurious villa, with trees lining the path and the moon reflecting like a mirror. The air was filled with the faint fragrance of Paulownia, instantly transporting one to another world.
Jufeng recalled his first visit here, when the breeze was not the chilly spring wind but rather a cool west wind. The scent of Paulownia was still as rich as ever, yet it was a pity that while he had flowers blooming for her, she did not recognize their beauty.
The security guard seemed to have changed; this one stood tall and straight, clearly a newcomer full of youthful ideals and enthusiasm.
The villa still retained its opulence, untouched by the harshness of winter, each corner quietly listening to the stories of the wealthy.
Some things had changed, while others remained the same. What needed to change had changed, but what should not have changed remained uncertain.
Truth be told, Jufeng felt a twinge of anxiety. His time spent with Lu Qijia had been too brief; how could one fully commit to a lifetime in just a few months? Jufeng was not so self-absorbed. He believed in love at first sight, but he believed even more in the emotions that settle over time. It did not require fervor because the most romantic thing in the world was growing old together.
Jufeng was not lacking confidence in Lu Qijia; after all, he had poured all his love into Jia'er. Meeting, getting to know each other, falling in love—everything felt natural. Yet they had not faced any trials together. A ship sailing smoothly on calm waters could hardly know if it could withstand sudden storms.
He shook his head, dismissing these chaotic thoughts. Ultimately, only a meeting would reveal what lay ahead. Until the truth was unveiled, he realized that suspicion was merely self-inflicted worry; even the wisest could make mistakes. It was often that very mistake that led to unexpected surprises.
Inside Sister Five's villa at Azure Waterside, the lights had vanished without a trace. Jufeng already knew that only Sister Dai and Sister Four were present in the villa. Second Sister and Eldest Sister were staying at their respective schools due to classes. The younger sister was especially focused on her studies as she approached her crucial college entrance exams; clearly, Azure Waterside was not conducive for her to concentrate on revision. She was being cared for by her family at home as she made her final preparations.
Jufeng arrived at the villa's entrance and paused for a moment before deciding against knocking on the door. Meeting after his first long journey back might lead to unspoken words if Sister Four were present.
In truth, Jufeng did not know what he wanted to say; he simply felt apprehensive. Ultimately, it stemmed from his lack of emotional intelligence when it came to romance—he was just an innocent in love.
His gaze swept around before he suddenly vanished from sight. Moments later, Zhu Yao appeared where Jufeng had just stood, looking toward the villa with an expression lost in thought.
…………
Jufeng found himself on the balcony of the second floor of the villa. The floor-to-ceiling windows opened silently, allowing the elegant drapery inside to breathe in the fresh night air as it fluttered gently in the moonlight. Soon after, Jufeng stepped inside; everything returned to tranquility.
This was Lu Qijia's bedroom. She had already fallen asleep peacefully. The smooth silk fabric enveloped her pure cotton blanket just over her shoulders as she lay on her side with her right hand resting beneath her ear, curled up slightly—she looked quite pitiful.
Jufeng knew that Xue had set up a Web of Protection around Azure Waterside; otherwise, Sister Dai would not be sleeping so soundly and peacefully. He moved slowly to sit at the edge of Lu Qijia's bed, watching as her brow furrowed slightly, seemingly caught in an unpleasant dream.
Suddenly, Jufeng did not want to disturb Lu Qijia; simply gazing at his beloved woman felt wonderful enough. Thus they sat and lay there together—one awake and one asleep—sharing half an hour in perfect harmony.
Suddenly, Lu Qijia's brow furrowed even more, beads of sweat forming on her forehead. Her idle left hand clutched the blanket tightly, as if grasping onto the last straw of hope.
Jufeng had never witnessed such a situation before; he was momentarily at a loss. He wanted to awaken Lu Qijia, but he also hesitated to let things unfold freely. Just then, Lu Qijia called out urgently, "Wind!" and her closed eyes suddenly flew open.
Their gazes met in this untimely moment, yet neither of them screamed. Lu Qijia looked at Jufeng, her clear and bright eyes instantly brimming with tears. She abruptly sat up and threw herself into Jufeng's embrace, unable to suppress the emotions within her any longer. Tears flowed like a river bursting its banks.
"I knew it! You would never leave me. Wind, please don’t leave me again, okay? Please…"
Jufeng's heart was still in turmoil, but his body instinctively responded to Lu Qijia's embrace. He held her tightly as their bodies pressed together; how could he not feel excited? Yet the tears had already dried up back in the capital.
"Jia'er, I promise you, I will never leave again. From now on, wherever Lu Qijia is, there will be Jufeng."
Lu Qijia nodded vigorously, her tears and snot soaking a large patch on Jufeng's freshly changed shirt. However, at that moment, those marks that would soon fade away would only serve as the best testament for these two young people.
After a while, Lu Qijia slowly regained her composure from the excitement. She placed her hands on Jufeng's cheeks and looked closely at the man who had captured her heart.
"Do you know? I heard about the recent turmoil in Washing City, so I knew you must have returned. But I was scared because I couldn’t help you at all, so I didn’t dare to ask Xue. I could only hope and wish for your early return to my side. These past two days have been nightmares; your figure suddenly appears in my dreams, but when I run over to embrace you, that figure gradually fades away no matter how hard I chase. I'm really afraid that one day in my dreams, you will just disappear from my sight like this. Wind, you promised me just now; you must remember… remember for a lifetime!"
Jufeng raised his hand to hold Lu Qijia's delicate hand. Not fully understanding what deep affection meant but speaking sincerely from his heart, he said, "But here I am now! And look…"
Jufeng tightened his grip slightly; it wasn’t enough to cause Lu Qijia pain but was firm enough for her to feel the reality of his touch.
"This isn’t a dream; it’s really me. If the wind passes by, it’s a golden rule!"
Hearing Jufeng ’s playful tone, Lu Qijia finally broke into laughter. Her beautiful eyes sparkled with affection as she playfully scolded him, "You’re awful!"
"You’ve been back for quite some time; why did you wait until now to see me? Have you done something outside that makes you feel guilty towards me?"
Women are truly difficult creatures to understand; one moment they are full of tender feelings and genuine emotions, and the next they turn into stern judges interrogating their lovers. Some might say women in love can be foolishly naive, but Jufeng didn’t feel that way at all.
He reached out and gently brushed Lu Qijia’s nose with his fingers and said softly, "How could that be? With my beloved wife at home, there are no other flags flying outside. It’s just that there were some matters left unfinished; I was afraid they would affect your life."
After a brief reunion, Jufeng finally gained a new understanding of love. He realized that although the foundation of his relationship with Lu Qijia was not deep, for two people who cherished their feelings, once they chose each other, they would not easily give up. This was fundamentally different from the young people on the streets who casually exchanged partners. Their differing values directly led to different ways of handling relationships, so Jufeng's previous worries were unfounded.
Lu Qijia understood what Jufeng meant by "some matters." Due to the inextricable ties with Merchant Official Hei, she, born into a Tycoon family, did not reject matters related to the Underworld. However, as she had said, she still could not offer Jufeng any help regarding that situation. She knew that lifestyle was dangerous, and her gaze towards Jufeng was filled with infinite tenderness once again.
"I know, so I don't blame you or make a fuss. I just quietly wait for you here; I know you will come back. Just next time, don’t make me wait so long."
A considerate woman is always an irresistible presence for a man. Jufeng was moved and embraced Jia'er, wishing to spend a lifetime in such desolate bliss.
In life, having one beloved companion is enough!
A moment passed as they nestled together in silence, which spoke louder than a thousand words.
Suddenly, Lu Qijia felt something—the unusual sensation brought by the dampness of his shirt reminded her of her earlier embarrassment, and in an instant, a blush crept onto her cheeks.
"Your shirt is wet; you should take it off. It’s uncomfortable to wear."
Lu Qijia's voice was as soft as a whisper, causing even her graceful head to lower slightly. Even Jufeng, usually decisive and resolute, found himself hesitating at the implication behind her words.
"Jia'er, I... I don’t want to force you; I think it’s better if..."
Jufeng's stammering words were suddenly interrupted by Lu Qijia's voice. She lifted her downcast face with determination and looked directly at him.
"Feng, do you love me?"
Jufeng was momentarily stunned but quickly understood, releasing the last bit of hesitation in his heart.
"Don’t you have class?"
"...Silly, it’s the weekend..."
The moonlight shifted westward like a peeping maiden, filtering through a small gap in the Drapery that Jufeng had opened earlier and falling onto the soft bed. Jufeng took off his shirt, revealing his alluring chest. He leaned slightly forward and pressed his lips against Jia'er’s soft ones, which had long been closed in anticipation.
For a moment, his body suddenly became tense, as if an electric current was flowing through him. Jufeng covered Lu Qijia's body and slowly placed Marie Claire in the moonlight. The moonlight is milky white, and the Marie is wearing a suspender and sleeping, her chest is also white, the two whites are leaning against each other, and they are indistinguishable from each other. Breathing gradually became faster, and consciousness became more and more blurred. The loose suspender pajamas were gently hooked by Jufeng, and then slid off smoothly along the gelatin Skin. Lu Qijia, who was in love for the first time, moaned softly and fell into the boundless wave, unable to extricate himself. The moonlight gradually faded and set farther away, looking more like a blushing girl who couldn't bear to see the beauty of this room and naughtily moved away. The room fell into darkness. There were only constant gasps, stirring the walls. (To be continued)
