Dry wood and raging fire

The man in white was sitting next to Bai Miaoke, with one hand loosely around her back, saying something with his head down.

Bai Miaoke didn't listen carefully, but looked up in the direction of the courtyard gate, where stood the person who made her unable to take her eyes off him after just one look.

Coincidentally, Lu Yu was also wearing moon-white clothes today, with his hair half-tied up with a jade crown. I don't know if he came here in a hurry, but his face was a little rosier than usual, his chest was slightly heaving, and he was staring at this side intently.

Bai Miaoke couldn't help but be attracted to him. She looked at him through her drunken eyes. He looked like a banished immortal, making all the other men in the courtyard pale in comparison. She couldn't help but get up and go find him.

"You're here!" he said with a bright smile.

Bai Miaoke was somewhat drunk and her mind was a little slow, so she didn't notice the man's gloomy expression.

Yun Niang, who was standing by, clearly sensed the sudden drop in pressure and smiled to smooth things over: "The scholar is here~ I was just about to send Miss Bai back."

Lu Yu didn't respond, nor did he even give her a look. He just took two quick steps and supported Bai Miaoke who was walking towards him.

He naturally hugged the person in his arms, and out of her sight, he tilted his head and glanced coldly at the man in white who was standing there in a daze. If his subordinates who were familiar with him saw this, they would know that it was a look that wanted to kill.

The man in white was frightened by his gloomy gaze and unconsciously lowered his head to avoid it.

Bai Miaoke knew nothing about the silent smoke of war. She nestled in the man's arms, one hand caressing his firm waist and abdomen, the other hand clasped together with his fingers, sniffing the pine-like scent on the man and rubbing her hands gently against his chest.

The rage that Lu Yu had just felt when he saw her sitting with other men was instantly diverted. He put his arm around her with one hand, turned around and was about to walk out.

Bai Miaoke still had some consciousness. She turned her head with difficulty in the man's restraining arms and shouted behind her: "Yun Niang, I'm going home. Let's play together next time!" As she said that, she wanted to raise her hand to wave it, but she found that the man's hand, which was a circle larger than hers, was tightly clasping her five fingers, making it difficult to break free.

After thinking about it, Bai Miaoke also squeezed back with force. Having practiced martial arts since she was a child, her strength could be said to be terrifying. Lu Yu felt her strength, but his expression relaxed a little.

Fortunately, there were not many people on the street at night, so the two of them hugged each other, held hands, and went home in a loving manner.

After returning home, Xiaofeng and Xiaoyu had already fallen asleep in the front yard. They had to go to school the next day, so Lu Yu went to look for them alone without informing them.

On the way back, Bai Miaoke kept chattering about how comfortable Yunniang's life was, how advanced her thoughts were, and how that was how a woman should be, with her tone inevitably filled with some admiration.

Lu Yu listened all the way, and except for the hand around her waist gradually tightening, he did not have any other reaction. He looked very calm and did not seem to care.

After arriving home, Bai Miaoke discovered that he had changed his expression. After pushing the door open, he pressed himself against the door and asked in a deep voice, "Do you envy her?"

"A little bit." Bai Miaoke answered honestly, not realizing the seriousness of the matter.

Hearing her answer, Lu Yu gritted his teeth and asked, "Do you want to support a few men too?"

Bai Miaoke was about to speak, but the syllable of denial was blocked in her throat before she could utter it, and turned into an unexpected whimper, "Hmm..."

She didn't know why Lu Yu suddenly kissed her. Before she could react, her teeth were already broken. She was immediately invaded, stirred, and dragged down.

Bai Miaoke felt that this kiss was more intense than any other time before, and her brain, which had just become a little clearer, became a mess again, and she gradually became unable to breathe.

She wanted to turn her head away, but Lu Yu came close to her like a mad dog stalking its prey.

Bai Miaoke frowned somewhat dissatisfiedly, raised her hand to push the man away, but her hand was grabbed and placed on the man's back again.

At the same time, the warm touch on the lips gradually slowed down, transforming from a violent storm to a spring breeze and drizzle, rolling, grinding, teasing and entangling.

Bai Miaoke felt unprecedented interest in this, so she gave up resisting and instead moved her hands on his waist gradually upwards and hooked them around the man's neck.

The wide cuffs slid down, revealing an arm as white as jade, entangled with the man's jet-black hair, and tightly clasped on the back of his neck, as if it would fall down if he let go.

The two men struggled backwards until Lu Yu's lower back hit the edge of the table.

Bai Miaoke exerted a little force and pushed the person to sit on the stool beside the table.

Then she sat on his lap, so she was a head taller than him. She looked down at Lu Yu's eyes and felt that those deep eyes were darker than usual, and contained some meaning that she didn't quite understand.

Reaching out and caressing the man's cheek, Bai Miaoke watched him tilt his head slightly to cooperate with her movements. She curled the corners of her lips slightly and moved her fingers upwards from her chin little by little.

It seems as if he is depicting the most beautiful painting in the world, with a look of concentration and appreciation.

Finally, a pair of bare hands gently covered those obsessed eyes, blocking his burning gaze, and then she leaned over and kissed them as if rewarding him.

Lu Yu enjoyed it very much and responded with his head raised, gripping the edge of the table with one hand so tightly that veins bulged.

But the little lotus has just shown its tips, and it stands there without retreating or giving in, making it hard to ignore.

At this time, Bai Miaoke felt that her drunkenness seemed to have gone away, otherwise how would she know what it was immediately? She curled the corners of her lips and shook her body slightly.

She tilted her head back slightly, ending the long kiss.

But she hadn't removed her hand that was covering his eyes yet. Feeling his eyelashes trembling slightly under her palm, she covered her eyes tighter with malicious intent.

Looking at the man's Adam's apple rolling restlessly, beads of sweat the size of beans dripped down his neck to his collar and disappeared.

Bai Miaoke pinched it through the clothes curiously, and she heard Lu Yu's suddenly heavier breathing. At the same time, the object in her hand seemed to jump, and the burning heat was transmitted to her palm through the fabric.

It can actually move? Bai Miaoke was even more curious, she clenched her hands and slid along.

"Don't." Lu Yu, who was leaning on her shoulder, had an unstable voice, even with some pleading in it.

But because of the low and hoarse voice, coupled with the heavy breathing that could not be ignored, Bai Miaoke did not let go. She just couldn't help but move her body, as if she was also enduring something.

With a long exhalation, Bai Miaoke was suddenly lifted into the air by the man.

"Ah~" She let out a short cry, but stopped immediately, not quite understanding why her voice was so gentle.

But this sound seemed to give Lu Yu some signal, and he easily carried Bai Miaoke and strode towards the bed.

Then Bai Miaoke was thrown onto the soft bedding. She just smelled the scent of today's sunshine, and then she was surrounded by the refreshing scent of the man.

A slender hand pulled down the bed curtain, and then the moon-white robe was thrown out, followed by one piece of clothing after another floating to the ground.

"Ke'er, I will propose marriage when I return to Beijing."

"Why are you saying this? Hurry up!"

"Well, okay."

"Hey, isn't this the place?!"

"Well……"

"Ouch, it hurts, don't move!"

Bai Miaoke scratched his back lightly, leaving a conspicuous red mark.

Stuck in a position where he couldn't get up or down, beads of sweat rolled down Lu Yu's forehead. He felt that he was not killed by the assassin, but was going to be hanged in this gentle place.

He stopped at the key position without daring to move.

Until Bai Miaoke snorted in impatience, the bare hand patted him lightly.

She mumbled something to ask him to hurry up, and at the same time let out a few intoxicating moans.

Lu Yu was immersed in it, and in a trance he felt that he was probably drunk, which was why he felt so ecstatic.

In the past, he had only heard of beautiful women having a soul-stirring fragrance, but he never expected it to be so wonderful.

I don't know when it started raining heavily outside the window. As the old saying goes, an autumn rain brings a chill, but it cannot extinguish a raging fire.

“Slow down!”

"Lu Yu, I told you to slow down!"

“Hmm…Hmm.”

After that, only the woman's broken voice could be heard, which was so twisted that it could no longer form a complete sentence.

I don't know how much time had passed before the sound of rain gradually stopped. Only the sound of water dripping from the eaves fell on the window sill, wetting a large area.

Bai Miaoke curled up on the bed and didn't want to move. She felt like her legs no longer felt like her own. The Prime Minister beside her was not much better. The wound on her chest was hurting slightly, and her sore lower back was also protesting.

But he still stubbornly held her in his arms and kissed the top of her head gently, his chest filled with joy and happiness, so much that it was about to overflow.

He called softly, "Madam."

Bai Miaoke had no idea how many times she had called him "husband" in her panic. She was too lazy to deal with him at the moment and just hummed in response.

"My wife, I love you so much." Lu Yu didn't care and continued talking to himself with an unprecedentedly gentle tone.

"Yeah." Bai Miaoke still nestled in his arms like a sated cat and responded. He had already said this several times before.

"What about you?" Lu Yu couldn't help but ask.

Without waiting for her to answer, he continued, "We are already husband and wife, how about we get married when we return to Beijing?"

"Okay." The satisfied Bai Miaoke seemed particularly easy to talk to.

Hearing this, Lu Yu hugged her a little tighter, feeling lucky that he had behaved well just now. He wanted to say something to her, but when he looked down, he found that she had fallen asleep.

After getting up, fetching some water, washing and cleaning the two of them, Lu Yu lay back on the bed and the sky was already turning slightly pale.

Seeing that it would be his usual time to get up in another hour, Lu Yu still had no sleepiness. The woman he had been dreaming about was sleeping peacefully in his arms, and she was about to turn over and kick, but Lu Yu still had a satisfied smile on his face.

His mind drifted away gradually. When he recalled seeing the man in white sitting next to him, he felt angry and sad like never before. All kinds of complicated emotions intertwined together, making it hard for him to breathe.

After making love, all the unhappiness in her heart had disappeared. Those men outside were nothing to her. She was just talking to them. She still had her own men in her heart.

After consoling himself, he thought of the things he needed to investigate in Jiangnan, and he wished he could fly there immediately to get things done so that he could return to Beijing and get married as soon as possible.

Also, thinking that Bai Miaoke's identity as a merchant girl would inevitably be criticized after returning to Beijing, she decided to ask for an imperial decree to grant the marriage.

He didn't know how many chaotic thoughts he had, but when it was almost dawn he hugged the woman tightly in his arms, kissed her forehead lightly, and then fell into a deep sleep.
