Although Ji Yun is still working at the Hanlin Academy, he came to the autumn hunt this time, and he greeted me warmly as soon as he saw me.

I glanced at him and then rode away on my horse.

Ji Yun didn't stop talking to me because of this; on the contrary, he rode up on his horse and followed me.

I saw him follow me and stop, pulling on the reins. He said, "The hunt has already begun. The five who hunt the most will receive a generous reward. Why aren't you hunting? What are you doing following me?"

"Winning or losing doesn't matter to me."

No matter what I said, Ji Yun followed me around. He didn't hunt at all; he just helped me carry the prey.

at last.

I couldn't stand by and watch, so I sent him a bunch of prey.

but.

I didn't hunt many, so neither he nor I received a reward today.

night.

I didn't eat much, and soon I felt hungry, so I secretly left the tent and walked into the woods not far away.

Not long after.

I noticed a commotion behind me, and I leaped over. Just as I was about to make my move, I realized that the person who had followed me was Ji Yun.

What are you doing following me?

"I'm worried about you."

Ji Yun immediately asked me what I was doing here.

Upon learning that I was hungry, Ji Yun said, "Come with me."

Ji Yun lived in a tent by himself. He led me to his tent, and after hesitating for a moment, I followed him inside.

Here, eat it.

Ji Yun brought out a bunch of food, including snacks, fruit, dried fruit, dried beef, and some braised dishes.

My lips twitched involuntarily: "Why did you bring so much?"

Upon hearing this...

Ji Yun chuckled and said, "My mother was worried I'd go hungry, and besides, I like to eat, so I brought everything my mother had prepared, and I even bought some for myself."

I was already hungry, so I didn't stand on ceremony with Ji Yun and started eating the braised dishes I liked.

"I also like to eat braised food."

"It's a pity I can't bring alcohol."

Ji Yun picked up a braised chicken leg and started eating.

Hearing him say that, I munched on a braised chicken leg and said, "Want to drink? I'll treat you when we get back to the capital..."

I just said it casually.

Ji Yun remembered it.

After the hunt, Ji Yun kept waiting for me to invite him for drinks, but one day, two days, three days, many days passed and I still didn't invite him.

Ji Yun couldn't help but approach me: "Princess, have you forgotten what you said? You said you would treat me to drinks, but I've been waiting for you since I got back and you still haven't come."

I:"……"

I really forgot.

I forced a smile and said, "How could I forget? The reason I didn't invite you was because I hadn't even decided where to treat you to a good meal yet."

"It's okay, anywhere is fine."

Ji Yun said that.

I couldn't very well not invite him, so I took him to Fuyunlou for dinner.

I didn't hold back and ordered a whole table of delicious food, and even asked the innkeeper to bring out two jugs of their best wine.

only.

I overestimated my alcohol tolerance.

I got a little dizzy after drinking for a short while, but it felt quite comfortable.

Ji Yun doesn't seem to be doing much better than me.

But I didn't just let it go.

I urged him to keep drinking.

When I woke up the next day, my head was throbbing. When I looked around, everything seemed unfamiliar. Just as I was about to get out of bed, I touched a warm object.

I looked down.

Ji Yun was sleeping right next to me.

I was completely stunned. When I saw the teeth marks on his neck and the cut on his mouth, my mind went completely blank.

Could I have done all those marks on his body?
