Chapter 132

"What did you see?" Lin Shuge asked curiously, then thought about his actions just now to help Taran. Xie Chen might find it a bit ambiguous from that angle. Was he seen by Zhong Xuan?

"Zhong Xuan, please listen to my explanation. I just wanted to help Taran make up his mind, so I got close to him, but he couldn't stand it, so..." Lin Shuge explained hurriedly.

Xie Chen interrupted him, "Why do you want to help him make up his mind? He likes you, right?" He suddenly stretched out his fingers and rubbed his soft lips with his thumb.

“Zhongxuan,” Lin Shuge dodged by tilting his head, “He just misunderstood. There is a psychological phenomenon that when someone is saved, their heartbeat speeds up and they think they like the other person. This is the case with him.”

Xie Chen's eyes were obscure and he asked him, "So what do you think of me, brother?"

What he meant was that he was also saved by Lin Shuge. If this was the case for Taran, what was his situation?

Lin Shuge listened to his words and sighed in his heart. He looked up at Xie Chen, who looked aggrieved, as if he was a heartless person. He kissed him resignedly, "You are different from everyone else. You are in this situation."

We were out here to have fun, but one thing led to another. I should just go back to sleep.

He was frightened half to death by the person who was still staring at him, and was still a little frightened. He couldn't help but glare at him fiercely, and then he was so angry that he punched him a few times, and then he dragged Xie Chen, who had been silent for a long time, back.

The jealousy in Xie Chen's heart was overshadowed by joy, and he was dragged away by him in a daze.

"By the way, where's the lamp?" Lin Shuge asked. When they separated just now, Xie Chen clearly had a lamp in his hand, but now his hand was empty.

"I met Ayuan and Axuan at that time, and asked them to take it back." Seeing that he was still thinking about the lantern, Xie Chen knew that he really liked it. The feeling that his feelings were well preserved by the person in front of him made him very happy.

"It's all your fault. I was going to go find A Yuan and A Xuan with you, but you hid and launched a sneak attack..." Lin Shuge complained, but the hand he was holding on Xie Chen shook unconsciously a few times.

Xie Chen nodded obediently, it was his fault.

Seeing that he had an innocent expression at the moment, as if the person who just wanted to tear him apart and eat him was his other personality, Lin Shuge simply turned his face away, thinking that if he didn't see it, he wouldn't be bothered.

The way back was much quieter, with only a few pedestrians left on the street. Some officers and soldiers were still on patrol. Lin Shuge gave them a few instructions, asking them to go home early after their patrol as they would not be on duty tomorrow. Those who had worked hard to ensure the safety of the city today would be given an extra bonus as a reward for their hard work.

"Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?" Lin Shuge saw that the lights in Lin Qingyuan and Lin Xuan's room had been turned off, and only he and Xie Chen were there, so he made some simple food to fill his stomach. He was originally planning to go to the stall to eat, but who knew that an episode would happen out of nowhere.

Xie Chen believed whatever he said at this moment. He strode towards the kitchen. Lin Shuge followed him and asked, "How about a bowl of noodles?"

"good."

Xie Chen was making a fire while Lin Shuge's men kneaded the dough very quickly. After the dough had risen, they pulled it into long strips. The noodles were scooped out and topped with various toppings, including meat sauce, fungus and egg. They were mixed with chopsticks and topped with two spoons of chili oil. The two were hungry at the moment, so they didn't say a word and just finished their noodles.

After eating, Xie Chen was busy boiling water. Lin Shuge looked at his busy figure and said softly: "Zhongxuan, we need to talk."

"What are you talking about?" Xie Chen looked at him.

"Zhongxuan, am I making you feel insecure?" Lin Shuge asked sincerely.

Xie Chen approached him and squatted beside him, "It's my problem. I always feel that if I hadn't forced you, you wouldn't have chosen me."

Lin Shuge thought to himself, "You just made me realize my inner self. If I don't want to, no one can force me." He took Xie Chen's hand and placed it on his heart. "Do you hear it? It's beating for you."

Xie Chen's eyes moved slightly, and he looked at him steadily as if he was risking everything, "Brother, do you want to take a shower together?"

The moonlight from outside the window shone in, reflecting Xie Chen's face. His features were handsome and his eyes were as bright as stars. Lin Shuge actually noticed that his eyelashes were very long.

Lin Shuge didn't say anything, so Xie Chen just kept waiting.

Finally, Lin Shuge nodded slightly, and in an instant, Xie Chen picked him up horizontally. He could feel Xie Chen's heart beating very fast. Although his steps were steady, the arm holding him was trembling slightly.

The bathtub was already placed in the room. Xie Chen put Lin Shuge down and rolled his throat a few times, "Brother, I'll go get some water."

Lin Shuge stood on the ground clutching his sleeves nervously, but he had already promised Zhong Xuan, so no matter what, he would be killed whether he stuck his head out or not. They have been together for so long, what is going to happen is bound to happen.

The steam was rising, and the whole room was shrouded in a layer of heat. Lin Shuge sat in Xie Chen's arms, and was kissed deeply from behind by Xie Chen. Xie Chen's kiss this time was gentle and lingering. He was a little impatient and hummed softly, as if urging Xie Chen to hurry up.

Xie Chen let go of him, "Don't worry, brother. We still have a whole night." After saying that, he stood up and took him out of the bathtub. Their skin was touching, and Lin Shuge could clearly feel the burning heat in Xie Chen's waist and abdomen.

After being put on the bed, Lin Shuge quickly reached out and pulled the underwear beside the bed onto his body. He felt really embarrassed to be so frank with everyone. He couldn't help but steal a glance at Xie Chen. He usually didn't dress revealingly, and when they were intimate in the past, Lin Shuge didn't care to see his figure. But today, Xie Chen was open to him, and he saw that he had a strong figure, with clear and powerful muscle lines, and a healthy glow under the light.

Xie Chen supported himself on the bed with both hands, and water drops flowed down his exposed upper body. "Brother, do you want to touch me?"

Lin Shuge looked at his teasing eyes, reached out and touched her, pretending not to care and said, "Yeah, you have a nice figure."

Xie Chen looked at his red ears, chuckled, lowered his head and kissed him.

Lin Shuge just felt hot and confused. Xie Chen suddenly got up from the bed and came over with a box of ointment a moment later. He said in a low voice, "The doctor said that you won't get hurt if you use this."

Lin Shuge suddenly came to his senses, and before he could scold him for having planned this for a long time, he was dragged into round after round of passion.

…

The next morning, Lin Shuge opened his eyes with great effort, and saw Xie Chen looking at him with a smile, obviously in a very happy mood. Seeing that he woke up, he asked softly, "Brother, are you feeling unwell?"

Lin Shuge pushed his dishonest hand away with great effort and glared at him fiercely. He didn't know how long he had been tormented by him last night. Now he felt as if his whole body had been run over, especially some things that could not be said explicitly. Really, he should not have agreed to him. Lin Shuge turned around and looked at him. It must be because the moonlight was too alluring last night that he was bewitched.

"Brother, are you hungry? I'll go get you some porridge."

Lin Shuge hummed, as if he remembered something, and asked, "What time is it?"

"It's past the hour of Si. Ayuan came to see you but I sent him away." Xie Chen replied, put on his outer robe and walked out.

Lin Shuge lay down again. His waist was so sore, so he opened his eyelids and looked inside the room. The two of them had made a mess last night, and it seemed that Xie Chen had already cleaned it up. As he thought about it, he slowly closed his eyes and fell asleep again.

He was not awakened until Xie Chen came in again, "Brother, get up and eat something before going to sleep."

Lin Shuge lay motionless, and Xie Chen went forward to dig him out of the quilt. He coaxed him with gentle words for a long time before he finished a bowl of porridge. He was even beaten by the angry Lin Shuge.

Xie Chen put the bowl down, lay down beside him, and pulled Lin Shuge into his arms, "Brother, I have nothing to do today, so it's a good time to take a rest. You worked hard last night."

“You, you still have the nerve to say that. Who said it was the last time? But until now, I…it’s not over yet.” Lin Shuge said angrily.

"It's my fault, don't be angry, brother." Xie Chen said while gently rubbing his waist.

Seeing that he admitted his mistake with a good attitude, Lin Shuge was too lazy to argue with him. He closed his eyes and enjoyed Xie Chen's hospitality. The bed was very warm and he had no official business. When Lin Shuge was drowsy, he suddenly realized someone's ill intentions.

"Wei Zhongxuan, take your hands away." Lin Shuge said vigilantly.

"Don't worry, brother. I'm not a beast. I just couldn't help myself." He said pitifully. Lin Shuge would not be fooled by him again. He closed his eyes and dragged his aching lower body inside.

Xie Chen kept pushing him over, "Okay, brother, have a good rest. I won't move."

Lin Shuge snorted softly, turned over in his arms, closed his eyes and fell asleep again.

It was not until Lin Qingyuan knocked on the door and said that the little prince wanted to see him for something that Lin Shuge woke up and quickly got up. Xie Chen helped him tidy up his clothes and Lin Shuge took him out.

In the lobby of the county government, Taran and Ale were already waiting, and Lin Shuge and Xie Chen walked into the lobby one after another.

"Your Highness, Ale, I've been waiting for a long time."

"Lord Lin, we are here to say goodbye. Are you feeling unwell? Why do you look unwell?" Seeing Xie Chen behind Lin Shuge, Taran swallowed the rest of his words.

Lin Shuge coughed violently and said guiltily, "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I just caught a cold last night."

Ale looked at him suspiciously, "Master Lin, our prince has something to say to you alone," he said, adding, "It's serious business."

"Zhongxuan is not an outsider."

Seeing that he insisted, Taran could only say, "Lord Lin, there are some things I have to let you know after thinking about it, but I don't trust other people. After thinking about it, only you are trustworthy."

Seeing him so serious, Lin Shuge asked, "Your Highness, what happened?"

"It's the Huns." Taran looked at him and said.

Lin Shuge's heart skipped a beat and he looked at Xie Chen, who gave him a reassuring smile.

Seeing that the two of them seemed to be unable to get in the way, Taran didn't know what it felt like, bitter but also relieved. "Our spies noticed that there were frequent changes within the Xiongnu. The Chanyu of one of the tribes killed the old Chanyu and took over. He annexed several tribes one after another and was about to unify. If the Xiongnu were allowed to unify all the tribes as they did in the past, there might be a war between the Yan Dynasty and the Xiongnu. You must make plans early."

Lin Shuge naturally knew how powerful the unified Huns were during the previous dynasty. If that was true, several border towns in Dingyuan County would be in danger.

"Thank you for informing us, Your Highness. We will defend our homeland strictly and will never let the Huns destroy our homeland or harm our people." Lin Shuge stood up and saluted him.

"Master Lin, you don't have to be polite. We'll just..." He walked over and helped Lin Shuge up. As Lin Shuge lowered his head, he saw a purple bruise on his neck under his collar. His tone paused, "We are always friends. If you need me, I gave you a token last time. Just have someone bring it to me."
