Chapter 288: A kiss

He grabbed the arrow in the air with the point being less than an inch from Xiao Ru’s face .  It truly was dangerous .

Chen Ning was so scared that she broke out in a cold sweat .  She charged out to hug Xiao Ru, even her voice changed into a comforting tone .

Xiao Ru had escaped from death .  After a long while, she broke out in tears .  She was sobbing as she thanked Mo Chuan .

“Bodyguard Hei, many thanks for saving me . ”

Mo Chuan looked over at her and gently said, “Your young miss is practicing her archery, it isn’t safe here . ”

What did he mean?  Was he saying that her archery skills were too lacking?

Chen Ning looked at Mo Chuan with a suspicious gaze .

Who would have thought that Xiao Ru would understand his meaning .  She said with a wink, “Young miss, have bodyguard Hei teach you how to shoot arrows .  You will definitely be able to beat that bastard highness .  This servant will go and help Chun Tao make some desserts .  Bodyguard Hei, there will be your favourite plum cakes and lotus cakes . ”  She said this and ran off with a giggle .

The recipe for these two dishes were given to Chun Tao by Chen Ning .  After she made them, everyone all loved them, but no one thought that Mo Chuan would actually eat the most .

Chen Ning never thought that a cruel assassin like Mo Chuan would like sweet and crunchy foods .

Mo Chuan’s black eyes slightly narrows as he watched Xiao Ru run off .

Everyone said this girl was dumb, but she had her moments of cleverness .

“You hold a bow like this .  Grip it with your index finger and thumb, and hold the arrow with your bent index finger, while you pull back with your other three fingers… . ”  Mo Chuan took the bow from Chen Ning’s hands and took an arrow from the side, notching it in .  He was slowly putting on a demonstration .

“Don’t look at the arrow’s target .  Quickly pull it and slowly release, just like this… . ”  His hand released .

“Xiu!”  The arrow flew through the air, landing on the bullseye .

“Good shooting skills!”  Chen Ning clapped and praised .

Mo Chuan casually looked over at her and handed the bow back, “You try . ”

Chen Ning learned the way the way he was holding the bow .  Mo Chuan shook his head and said, “Wrong, it’s like this . ”

He reached out and held her hand, correcting her wrong way of holding the bow .

Chen Ning was focused on learning, not noticing that the two of them were very close together .

Mo Chuan’s tall and slender body had his hands wrapped around her chest, with her back against his chest .  Her eyes were sparkling as she had a faint smile on her face .

“Let go!”  As soon as Mo Chuan spoke, Chen Ning’s hand released and the arrow flew out .

This time did not miss, landing right in the center .

“Not bad, you learn quite fast . ”  Mo Chuan slightly lowered his head and looked at her .

A few wisps of hair brushed over his nose, feeling itchy, but also giving off a sweet fragrance .  It was the exact same fragrance that came from her body .

He suddenly thought about the night she was drunk .  On that deserted street, he had her in his embrace just like this .  At that time, her face was red as she smiled and called him a big bad wolf, and calling herself a little white rabbit .  Seeing her petite figure in his embrace, she really was like a little white rabbit .

“It’s because your teaching is good . ”  Chen Ning did not see his burning eyes staring right at her .  This was her first time hitting the bullseye and she was very excited .  Turning her head, she said, “Xiao Hei, I… . . ”

She did not know that he had lowered his head and was so close .  Turning her head like this, her forehead touched his lips, like she was turning around to let him kiss her .

The two of them were both shocked .  For a moment, no one moved .

Mo Chuan’s lips remained on her forehead .  That soft feeling instantly turned his body stiff .
