<h4>Chapter 1141: Jealousy</h4>


    A strange numbing sensation spread from the tip of her ears to half her body.


    Chu Liuyue curled her finger before swiftly rxing her body. She then turned around to look at him in a seemingly smiling manner. “This is a misunderstanding. Senior Brother Rong Xiu, you’re not discussing important matters with the elders, yet you’re here at my ce in the middle of the night. What are you doing?”


    Rong Xiu looked at her sparkling eyes that still seemed to shine in this dark sky with rays of light that strummed one’s heartstrings. He clenched his hands and yed with her soft and tiny palm, but his tone was muchzier. “You’re angry?”


    Chu Liuyue looked at him calmly and shook his head. “I was just curious why you don’t want me toe to the academy.”


    “It’s not that I don’t want you to, but…” Rong Xiu paused and recalled the scene of meeting Elder Hua Feng and the rest previously. They haven’t seemed so happy and rxed in a long time… Today, at Dong Huang Clock Tower, Elder Wen Xi even delightfully announced that he was the one who recruited Chu Liuyue. If they discover her true identity.


    “Even if I didn’t want you toe, aren’t you here already?” Rong Xiu helplessly held his forehead as a doting and loving smile was stered on his lips.


    Chu Liuyue suddenly realized something. “Y-you knew about it earlier on?!”


    Rong Xiu leaned in and ced his chin on her shoulders, his voice low and seductive. “If I can’t even guess what my own princess consort is doing, that would be weird. But… I just didn’t expect it to be so quick.”


    ording to Chu Liuyue’s sensitivity and intelligence, she would realize that something was amiss sooner orter. However, he didn’t expect her to make up her mind so early ande to Ling Xiao Academy directly.


    Chu Liuyue thought about it and agreed. If I didn’t unintentionally talk to Lin Zhifei about this matter that day, I wouldn’t choose to take action so swiftly.


    “Anywvay, I’m already a student of Ling Xiao Academy. It’s impossible for you to ask me to leave.” Chu Liuyue raised her brows.


    Without Rong Xiu, there wasn’t much meaning in staying at the Sky-Cloud Empire. She felt that it was more interesting to stay here.


    Rong Xiu suddenlyughed, and Chu Liuyue could even clearly feel his chest vibrate.


    “1 won’t do that,” said Rong Xiu with a smile. “You can stay here however long you like. I’ll help you take care of the matters on the Sky-Cloud Empire’s side.” This time, Chu Liuyue was truly shocked.


    She used some force and struggled free from Rong Xiu’s embrace, turning around to look at him seriously. “Really?”


    ‘When have I ever lied to you?” asked Rong Xiu as he chuckled. Chu Liuyue snorted lightly. “When have you not?”


    Rong Xiu was speechless. I forgot that this is a vengeful one..


    He moved back and leaned against the head of the bed as he stretched his long legs. His eyes which seemed so deep like they could contain everything stared at Chu Liuyue quietly.


    The gentleness and deep emotions within could almost drown one.


    He sighed lightly, and his voice was much softer, but he still had indubitable confidence in it. “If my lies can be exchanged for your eternal happiness and joy, I’ll be willing to lie to you forever.”


    Chu Liuyue’s heart suddenly trembled.


    This was the first time Rong Xiu said such words to her in such direct and honest manner.


    Strictly speaking, Rong Xiu really hasn’ t lied to me previously. Instead, he hides the matter from me. Every time I recall some matters or discover some truth, Rong Xiu won’t argue further and chooses to admit it directly.


    It’s like… theres a gigantic curtain hiding everything in front ofme, and Rong Xiu is standing right behind that curtain. He won’t willingly pull the curtain open, but if I stretch my hand out, he won’t stop me.


    Chu Liuyue never understood why exactly Rong Xiu did this. He clearly knew a lot of things, but he refused to tell her about thempletely.


    Chu Liuyue had many guesses, but she never expected to get Rong Xiu’s_ answer at such a time.


    She kept quiet for a moment, stared at Rong Xiu, and said carefully, “Rong Xiu, you don’t want me to remember what happened in the past, right?”


    Rong Xiu smiled and shook his head, his long fingers carefully caressing her palm as if he were touching a world-ss treasure. “It’s just that there are some unhappy matters.”


    Even ifit also contains ourpast. But for her, everything else doesn’t matter.


    Rong Xiu had once thought that there was nothing bad if she could never remember those memories. However… some things seemed to have been destined.


    “Since you’re already back at the academy, I won’t force you to leave.” Rong Xiu suddenly exerted strength with his arms and pulled her in. “At the end of the day, you should decide your own matters.”


    “Then


    “1’11 just stand beside you and apany you.” Rong Xiu’s gaze was nonchnt. In the dark night, the bright moonlight reflected on his face, making him look deity-like and demonic at the same time.


    Chu Liuyue’s heart tingled, and something seemed to be moving in her chest as her entire body started to warm up slightly.


    She suddenly leaned over.


    The lips were slightly cold and soft.


    At that moment, her entire world spun, and her back was against the bed.


    When the temperature in the air gradually rose, they heard knocks.


    Dong dong!


    Following that, a familiar female voice was heard. “Chu Yue, are you there?” It was Luo Shishi!


    Chu Liuyue recovered her senses. Her previously dewy and misty eyes quickly recovered their clearness. Oh right, we previously agreed to go to Million Wine Mountain at night to celebrate! In the end, Ipletely forgot about this once Rong Xiu came!


    Chu Liuyue pushed the man in front.


    When he heard themotion outside, Rong Xiu hesitated momentarily. However, it was only for a moment.


    Then, as if he didn’t notice anything, he hugged her tighter and slowly kissed her.


    “Chu Yue?!” Luo Shishi yelled in a strange manner. “Why is nobody answering…’


    “1s there nobody around?” This was Luo Yanmings voice.


    “No, we already agreed during the day,” replied Luo Shishi in confusion.


    Chu Liuyue red at Rong Xiu warily.


    Rong Xiu chuckled softly, and his dark eyes sparkled in a nonchnt and slightly dangerous manner.. “…You have a date?”
