74. Chapter 74 Hiding

Xiaoxiao couldn't help but soften in his arms. His palms seemed to have some kind of magical power, which made her heart palpitate abnormally.

I don't know when the wind started blowing outside, and the howling wind swept over the blooming daffodils. The snow-white petals were trembling in the wind, changing into various shapes in the wind, looking as if they had been ravaged.

In the room, Xiaoxiao also felt like she was undergoing a cleansing. She unconsciously clutched his clothes tightly, and her pink lips were bitten red. Pei Xiuhan caressed and opened her clothes. When he was about to make the next move, he heard footsteps outside, obviously coming towards Xiaoxiao's dormitory.

Pei Xiuhan's ears moved involuntarily. After hearing the footsteps of Zhang Li, his eyes dimmed slightly. The girl in front of him had messy clothes, rosy lips, and was delicate and charming. Pei Xiuhan naturally didn't want Xiaoxiao to be seen in this state.

The next moment, he picked up the little girl in front of him by the waist and carried Xiaoxiao to the bed. He also pulled down the curtain hanging on the golden hook, and the heavy curtain immediately blocked the light.

Xiaoxiao didn't hear any footsteps. When she saw Brother Pei suddenly carry her to the bed, her mind went blank for a moment and her heart beat faster. Even though she only had a vague understanding of love/affairs, Xiaoxiao knew that intimate things between husband and wife happened in bed.

She was so nervous that she was at a loss, not knowing whether she should go along with him. Could it be that Brother Pei wanted to spend the wedding night with her in advance?

Xiaoxiao's already dizzy head became even more dizzy. Pei Xiuhan reached out and held the girl's small feet, took off her embroidered shoes and put them on the ground, while he stuffed his shoes between the bed board and the mattress.

When Xiaoxiao was about to speak, Pei Xiuhan raised his index finger, put it on her lips, and hugged the girl to lie down in the quilt.

Zhang Li had already walked to the door. Seeing the eerie silence in the room, he couldn't help but frown, "Xiaoxiao?"

Xiaoxiao then realized that it was him who had come. She was so scared that she broke out in a cold sweat, and a trace of panic flashed in her eyes. She hurriedly pulled the quilt again, pushed him down, and completely hid him in the quilt.

The two of them were already close to each other, and as she pushed, Pei Xiuhan's nose tip almost touched her soft skin.

"Xiaoxiao?"

After hearing no response, Zhang Li's heart unconsciously rose and he turned and went into the room.

Xiaoxiao was extremely nervous, her face full of panic from being discovered by her elders after doing something wrong, and she looked a little embarrassed. She could hear her brother coming in, and afraid that he would draw the curtains, she quickly whispered back, "Brother, brother, I, I'm in bed. I didn't get enough rest last night, so I plan to sleep for a while. Is there anything wrong, brother?"

Zhang Li naturally had nothing to do. He had a day off today and didn't need to go to the military camp. He had just gone out for something and returned home after he was done. He thought about not having a good talk with her for a long time, so he came to see her.

Zhang Li felt that the little girl's voice was a little strange, "Are you feeling well?"

As he spoke, he had already walked to the bed. Afraid that he would pull open the curtain, Xiaoxiao quickly lifted the curtain a little herself, revealing only her little head. "Brother, I'm fine, just a little sleepy."

As she moved, the small dress on her body slipped down completely and fell directly onto Pei Xiu Han's face. The unique fragrance of the girl completely enveloped him.

Pei Xiu Han felt dizzy for a moment. After realizing what this was, his body became increasingly hot and the string in his mind broke. He unconsciously moved closer, his nose sliding across her collarbone and touching her softness.

Xiaoxiao's body froze involuntarily, her little face flushed red as blood. She hurriedly tried to pull off her clothes, and her little hand rested on Pei Xiuhan's cheek.

Her face turned red and she bit her lips unconsciously, making her already delicate and tempting lips even more alluring.

Seeing her like this, Zhang Li's heart skipped a beat. He thought the quilt was warm and she was hot. He couldn't help but turn his eyes away and didn't look at her for long, fearing that she would have a fever. Zhang Li's hand couldn't help but reach out to Xiaoxiao's forehead.

Xiaoxiao stiffened her body and let him touch her.

Seeing that she didn't have a fever, Zhang Li breathed a sigh of relief, "Then you can take a nap. I'll have lunch with you at noon."

Xiaoxiao nodded obediently, but the man in the bed was not honest at all. Without waiting for Zhang Li to leave, he went too far. Xiaoxiao was so embarrassed that her big toe curled up.

She endured it without saying a word until the sound of Zhang Li's footsteps completely disappeared. Then she pitifully gasped and whispered, "Brother, don't bite."

She was embarrassed and ashamed, so she crawled under the quilt and pushed his head with both hands.

After leaving her soft body, Pei Xiuhan regained some of his sanity. He hugged her tightly again, with such force that he almost rubbed her into his bones and blood.

Xiaoxiao felt his hard dagger again.

Before she could reach out to grab it, Pei Xiuhan had already sat up straight. Fearing that if this continued, he would completely lose control, he handed the small clothes to her and said in a hoarse voice, "Put it on."

Xiaoxiao's face turned red so much that she no longer cared about the dagger. She quickly caught the small clothes and put them on. However, she accidentally touched the snow-capped peak and felt it was wet. Xiaoxiao's cheeks were burning so much that she didn't dare to face him for a moment.

Her face flushed as she picked up a handkerchief and wiped it. The light inside the curtain was dim, and Xiaoxiao could only see his outline and could not make out his facial features at all. Thinking that he could not see her either, she did not avoid him when she wiped it.

Pei Xiuhan's dark eyes became deeper and deeper, and his throat became a little dry. The next moment, he lifted the curtain and got out of bed.

When Xiaoxiao put on her clothes, Pei Xiuhan was gone. Xiaoxiao's cheeks felt hot and she felt a little embarrassed, so she crawled back into the bed.

Pei Xiu Han went straight back to Wuyha Hall. After Zhang Li moved to Suyuexuan, Pei Xiu Han moved back to Wuyha Hall. Now Wuyha Hall had been completed and a bathhouse was built in the dormitory.

Pei Xiuhan went straight to the bath. The water in the bath was clean, but a little cold. Pei Xiuhan took a cold shower to suppress the heat in his body.

At night, he had another dream. In the dream, he bit her and kissed her as usual. Maybe because he had done this during the day, he felt less guilty in the dream. When Pei Xiuhan woke up, he was covered in sweat, feeling sticky and uncomfortable. He took another shower. He was afraid that if this continued, he would not be able to make it to the wedding date.

Pei Xiuhan simply left the house.

Xiaoxiao was unaware of his struggle. She had just finished her breakfast when she heard the maid say that Mu Xi had arrived.

In a few days, it will be Mu Wen's wedding day. Xiaoxiao thought that Mu Xi would be very busy during this period. When he saw her coming to the palace, Xiaoxiao went out to greet her in person.

"Why is Sister Xi here today?"

When Xiaoxiao was staying in the palace before, she seldom visited her, so Xiaoxiao couldn't help but feel curious.

Mu Xi naturally wouldn't come to the temple for no reason. She touched the tip of her nose and said with a smile, "Let's talk inside."

When Mu Xi came in, she immediately saw the wedding dress on the couch and asked, "How's the embroidery going?"

Xiaoxiao is quite good at needlework and can embroider quite quickly. After a few days, she had already finished most of the work, which was more than what other noble ladies could finish in ten days or so.

Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "It's easier to embroider than I thought. I'm sure it will be finished before the New Year."

Mu Xi breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this and said with a grin, "It seems that God is helping Mo Chuan. I was embarrassed to ask you out originally, but in this case, let's go out and have fun together tomorrow."

Xiaoxiao blinked, "He wants me to leave?"

Mu Xi didn't hide it from her and nodded with a smile, "He thought you wouldn't recognize him, so he asked him to treat his eyes. Now, he's asking me for help."

She had delicate features, and when she smiled, her eyes were full of cunning. She knew Xiaoxiao well, so she naturally understood that Mo Chuan had misunderstood her. When she thought about how she was almost suffocated by him before, Mu Xi wanted to take revenge on him. He had already given the money to her, so she would be stupid not to make some money, so she came to Prince Yan's Mansion.

Xiaoxiao hadn't gone out to play for a long time. She was actually a little tempted, but she shook her head. "Brother Pei said that the capital has been in turmoil recently, so I'd better not go out."

"No matter how chaotic the situation is, he can't stop you from leaving the house, right? If he can't even protect his own woman, what kind of prince is he?"

Xiaoxiao couldn't help but defend him. "He didn't stop me from going out. I was just afraid of getting him into trouble."

Mu Xi disagreed. Seeing that she clearly wanted to leave, she said directly, "What's there to get involved with? He's in a high position, so he has to be wary of all kinds of enemies. You're his fiancée now, and it's his responsibility to protect you. Even if he's not there, we still have the guards from the Zhenguo and Anguo Mansions. Don't worry, nothing will happen."

Lu Zhu also said: "Miss, if you want to go out, go ahead, your subordinates will protect you."

Xiaoxiao had no choice but to agree, "Where are we going to play?"

Mu Xi smiled and said, "It happens to be sunny tomorrow, so let's go hunting. I haven't hunted in a long time. Why don't we call Zhong Miao, Mu Hong and the others, and have fun as much as we want."

There is a royal hunting ground in the capital. Mu Xi has a good relationship with Pei Jing. If he wants to go hunting, he can just say hello.

Xiaoxiao nodded and said, "Okay."

Pei Xiu Han did not come back in the evening. He seemed to be busy again. Xiaoxiao did not see him the whole day. She only told Yang Hao that she was going out.

On the second day, Yang Hao arranged some guards to escort Xiaoxiao out of the house. Luzhu also followed Xiaoxiao into the carriage, fearing that Xiaoxiao would be seen by the people of Dajin. Xiaoxiao went out without Xiaoxing.

The royal hunting ground was not too far from the palace, and the carriage arrived at the destination after half an hour's journey.

Xiaoxiao also changed into her riding and archery uniform. When she arrived, Zhong Miao and the others had already arrived. After a few simple greetings, they climbed onto their horses, planning to ride around first to warm up.

Xiaoxiao has learned to ride a horse. Although her riding and archery skills are average, she has no problem riding a simple horse. She also followed everyone for a ride.

Mo Chuan arrived the latest. Not only was he unable to walk, he was also blind. After learning that Mu Xi had brought her to the hunting ground, he became silent for a while, but he finally came over.

It was not until he arrived at the hunting ground and heard the chattering of young boys and girls that he realized that Mu Xi had called other people. His face became even colder. After hearing Mu Xi's voice, his sharp eyes looked at Mu Xi, thinking that she took the money but did not do the job.

His purpose in asking Mu Xi to call Xiaoxiao out was clearly to spend more time with Xiaoxiao and let her understand his strengths. Now that they came to the hunting ground, it would have been fine, but so many people came. He was a blind and lame man who couldn't even get on a horse. How could Xiaoxiao pay attention to him?

Mo Chuan's face was so dark it was terrifying. After seeing him, Zhong Miao and the others didn't even dare to speak. Zhong Miao couldn't help but whisper to Mu Xi, "Why is this evil spirit here?"

Although Mo Chuan couldn't see clearly, his ears were not deaf. When he heard the word "evil god", his face became even darker.

Mu Xi pulled the reins and looked at Mo Chuan with a smile. Her already cheerful mood became even happier after seeing his dark face.

Xiaoxiao also saw him and quickly dismounted. Only then did she realize that coming to the hunting grounds might be a bit cruel for Mo Chuan. She walked up to him, pushed his wheelchair, and said with a smile, "The weather is nice today. Can I push you for a few laps?"

Mo Chuan naturally recognized her voice. Seeing the little girl being so considerate, his heart softened and his expression softened almost instantly. He nodded, and his anger towards Mu Xi also dissipated for the most part.

Afraid that Xiaoxiao also wanted to go play, he only let Xiaoxiao push him around for a while and then let her go hunting.

Xiaoxiao was a little worried about him, "Let me stay with you for a while."

"No, go hunting. Let's make a bet. See if you can hunt some small animal in half an hour. If you do, I'll give you a gift. If you don't, you can give me one."

Xiaoxiao curled her lips and smiled as she agreed. She had intended to give him something, so she hadn't taken the hunting seriously. She had learned archery from Pei Xiuhan, and while she wasn't particularly good, she could still shoot a small rabbit in half an hour. After half an hour, Xiaoxiao finally got serious and quickly caught a pheasant.

Mu Xi also hunted a pheasant and a fawn. She was a little tired, so she got off the horse.

Mu Xi untied the water bag and took a sip, his eyes unconsciously fell on Mo Chuan. Mo Chuan was dressed in red, his facial features were cold, and the lines of his face were very tough. He looked particularly handsome in the sun, but he looked indescribably lonely sitting in the wheelchair.

Mu Xi's heart moved, and he couldn't help but walk up to him.

She didn't say anything, but just sat cross-legged beside him, without any ladylike demeanor.

Mo Chuan could vaguely see some light and shadow. Seeing the girl sitting on the ground, he frowned and spoke first, "What are you doing here?"

Mu Xi always did what he wanted, coming whenever he wanted. Seeing that he was in charge of everything, she couldn't help but sigh and directly retorted, "Is this your home? Can't I even take a break?"

Mo Chuan looked indifferent and ignored her.

His facial features were actually quite handsome, and his stern and silent expression, although appearing fierce, was also inexplicably amusing.

Seeing him like this, Mu Xi felt an itch in her heart, and inexplicably wanted to tease him, "I deliberately chose the hunting ground. Xiaoxiao will definitely feel sympathy when she sees you like this. What's wrong with you? Not only do you not feel grateful, but you also have a cold face. Are you not satisfied with my arrangement? Do you want me to return the money?"

Mo Chuan thought she was too noisy and pushed his wheelchair away from her. Mu Xi narrowed her eyes and her teeth felt itchy for some reason.

She followed him again and said, "Why are you hiding, Master Wu? Are you afraid of me? Don't blame me for not explaining it clearly. If you hide again, believe it or not, I will never help you again."

Mo Chuan originally wanted to push the wheelchair away, but upon hearing this, he stopped abruptly. He naturally did not have a good impression of Mu Xi. The girl was fierce and unreasonable at such a young age. It was clearly her who broke into his cabin and annoyed him, and she even dared to take advantage of his weak spot. Mo Chuan did not kill her because he was giving face to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

If he didn't know that she had a good relationship with Xiaoxiao, he would never ask her for help. No, it wasn't help at all, it was just a transaction of money.

Xiaoxiao has the best relationship with her and Mu Wen. Mu Wen is now preparing for her wedding and never leaves the house. He will definitely need to use her in the future. Mo Chuan no longer hides and stays there with a cold face.

Seeing his unhappy expression, Mu Xi curled her lips and her mood suddenly improved. She sat cross-legged beside him again, glancing at his cold face from time to time. She felt that it must be very cool to stay next to him in the summer.

Although her face was pretty and charming, and looked adorable, she was born with a rebellious nature and was full of evil intentions. Seeing that Mo Chuan was a little unhappy, she deliberately teased him, "Why do you have such a cold face, Fifth Master? Do you want to go hunting too?"

Mo Chuan had never seen such a noisy little girl before, and he wanted to knock her out. He glanced at her coldly and said, "Shut up."

Mu Xi looked at him with a smile, but refused to close her eyes. "If you tell me to close them, I'll close them. But then I'll lose face."

"One hundred taels of silver."

Mu Xi tutted his words, "I'm only worth one hundred taels?"

Mo Chuan's heart skipped a beat and he pushed the wheelchair away.

Mu Xi was in a good mood and didn't bother to argue with him. She even chased after him with a smile and pushed his wheelchair. "Okay, okay, one hundred taels is one hundred taels. Take out the banknotes first, and I'll shut up."

Mo Chuan's handsome face was chillingly cold.

No one else noticed their interaction, only Mo Chuan's servant saw Mu Xi's behavior. He couldn't help but worry for the girl, fearing that their master would crush her to death.

Zhong Miao, Mu Hong and the others were having a great time. These young boys and girls usually stayed in the Imperial College to study or stayed at home to embroider, and rarely went out hunting. They were like birds out of a cage, galloping on the grass with smiles in their eyes.

Xiaoxiao had a lot of fun that day. It was her first time hunting, and she experienced the joy of hunting. She not only hunted a pheasant, but also a hare.

They played in the hunting ground for several hours. When the sun went down, the group dismounted. Mo Chuan did not leave. When he heard Xiaoxiao's laughter, he felt that this day was not in vain.

Xiaoxiao's good mood lasted the whole day. After returning home, she learned that Gu Zhen had returned to the capital, and her heart unconsciously began to lift.
