My Princess Holds Superpowers
Chapter 381 - Chapter 381 381 heart to heart

Chapter 381: 381 heart to heart Chapter 381: 381 heart to heart Ye Jiu suddenly remembered that she had something valuable in her hands, which she should have given to Sikong Mo first. How could she have bypassed Sikong Mo to go look for Si Nan?

This was truly inappropriate.

But the matches had already been given to Si Nan, a subordinate. To now give something to Sikong Mo seemed somewhat improper as it would appear that Sikong Mo was less important than Si Nan.

Ye Jiu sneaked a glance at Sikong Mo, who seemed somewhat angry, and instantly cowered.

“Actually, I also prepared something for the Prince, even more useful than matches. I just never dared to present it, fearing the Prince would think me presumptuous and refuse to accept it,” Ye Jiu said.

Sikong Mo’s tightly crossed arms suddenly relaxed a bit, “Oh?”

His tone was just short of saying outright, ‘the Prince allows you to present it!’

Compared to the almost suffocating feeling from before, this moment of relaxation was much more comfortable for her.

She fumbled inside her sleeve before taking out an iron lighter, flipped it open, and scraped with her finger, creating a spark.

Unfortunately, due to the jostling on horseback, the sparks from the lighter flickered out immediately.

“This is a lighter. It can be ignited with just a finger. It’s not only handy and convenient but also looks quite elaborate. Only such a high-end item is worthy of the Prince’s status!” Ye Jiu said with an ingratiating smile.

Sikong Mo’s slender fingers suddenly gripped the hand holding the lighter and said meaningfully, “This Prince… likes it very much.”

Sikong Mo rarely referred to himself as ‘this Prince’ in front of Ye Jiu. But when he did, he was always particularly serious.

At this moment, his long, warm palm gripped her tiny hand, and Ye Jiu couldn’t quite discern what his words meant.

Was he talking about the lighter, or was he talking about…

Taking a stealthy deep breath, Ye Jiu dared not think further.

While her heart fluttered with daring thoughts, she also felt as though she was overstepping her bounds.

What was Sikong Mo’s status? And what was her own? How could he possibly…

And besides, she was still a child at the moment.

Even if he treated her specially, it was probably because…

Because she had saved him more than once, right?

She dared not continue this train of thought. The more she thought, the more confused she became.

When one does not understand the facts and does not dare to inquire further, it’s easy to escape from oneself, and this was clearly the case with Ye Jiu.

In a flurry, she withdrew her small hand. Sikong Mo’s hand, still holding the lighter, remained in front of her. His slender fingers stroked the engraved pattern on the silver lighter, a gesture that always seemed somewhat intimate!

Sikong Mo leaned forward, his breath pausing right beside Ye Jiu’s ear, his voice huskily asking, “What does this pattern mean?”

Two hearts pierced by an arrow–what an odd pattern, threaded together like that. Did it symbolize death?

“This is ‘an arrow through the heart,’ a symbol of two hearts beating as one. If two hearts are pierced by an arrow, they can’t be separated, hehe…” Ye Jiu wiped her sweat, feeling quite embarrassed.

“This pattern… not bad!” Sikong Mo lifted the corners of his mouth.

“Yes, yes, it’s particularly suitable for couples. If the Prince finds a Princess Consort, you could give her something like this to symbolize being of one heart,” Ye Jiu said before realizing she had spoken out of turn. Everyone knew the War King Sikong Mo was indifferent towards women, and there she was, bringing up the very topic she should have avoided.

“This Prince… will remember that!” Ye Jiu, sitting in front of Sikong Mo, could even feel the smile in his tone at that moment.
