Chapter 57 Chapter 57

Xie Yunzhou froze suddenly, his Adam's apple rolling twice with difficulty, "...Jiu Niang, I..."

His nostrils were filled with her soft and warm scent of apricot blossoms. He couldn't do that. If he stayed any longer, he would really be driven crazy.

Zhe Rou persisted and refused to let go.

Xie Yunzhou's heart suddenly began to beat rapidly. After a long pause, he opened his mouth and uttered with difficulty, "...Is the effect of the medicine very unpleasant?"

Zhe Rou nodded gently, and the fingertips that were grasping his sleeve slowly slid down, touching his thin and strong palm, and then she passed through the gaps between her fingers and held his fingers together.

Xie Yunzhou's head buzzed.

He understood what she meant.

But I didn't dare to write it.

Of course he was thirsty, so thirsty that he was almost going crazy. He could only repeatedly and desperately remind himself that it was the effect of the medicine and it was not voluntary. She was just confused for a moment, so how could he do such a thing to take advantage of her misfortune?

Especially, that person was her. How could he bear to be disrespectful?

Zhe Rou frowned and panted softly, "Ming Qi..."

That voice was simply... Xie Yunzhou's Adam's apple rolled violently, and the string of rationality in his brain almost broke completely. He barely held on to the last bit of clarity and asked in a hoarse voice: "Jiu Niang... do you really... want it?"

Zhe Rou raised her eyes to look at him, smiled faintly, and said in a hoarse voice, "Didn't they say that if something is delivered to your door, you should eat it first...?"

Xie Yunzhou's breathing stopped.

He couldn't hold it back any longer.

After a while, he slowly lowered his head and tentatively kissed her lips.

The movements were extremely slow, leaving enough room for her to retreat. If she showed any unwillingness, she could stop immediately.

But she didn't hide.

The moment their lips and teeth touched, softness and heat intertwined, and Xie Yunzhou's whole body trembled violently, as if a cluster of fire shot up from his tailbone, causing him to tremble all over and his scalp to go numb.

Without any rationality left, Xie Yunzhou let out a suppressed moan from his throat, and he leaned over her and hugged her tightly in his arms.

Zhe Rou closed her eyes and breathed softly.

Xie Yunzhou supported himself on her with one arm, gently stroking her cheek with one hand, and giving her a series of hot kisses with great care.

Completely different from Lu Chen's tough and rude behavior, his movements were gentle, awkward, and a bit cautious.

In fact, when they just got married, Lu Chen was also very awkward, even a little clumsy, but he tried his best to please and tease.

Later on, he could easily make her tremble and moan, and he seemed very proud of it. He bit her delicate earlobe, calling her "妱妱" over and over again, and lingered with her until dawn.

——妱妱.

Tears suddenly welled up in Zhe Rou's eyes.

Xie Yunzhou paused suddenly.

Noticing the sudden pause, Zhe Rou slightly opened her half-closed eyes and looked over hazily.

Xie Yunzhou stared at her intently, his handsome brows soaked with sweat, his eyes suppressed and forbearing, with a hint of hesitation, "...Nine Lady."

He propped himself up with his arms, trying to get up.

Zhe Rou suddenly raised her arms and gently hugged his thin back.

The pair of slender hands pressed on his back. Although the force was gentle, it seemed to be as heavy as a thousand pounds, forcing him to retreat without any room for retreat.

As if she was the prey she caught.

Xie Yunzhou had been on the verge of collapse, but now that he had received her permission and encouragement, he could no longer hold back. He lowered his head and kissed her wet eyelashes, his voice hoarse, "Let me marry you, okay?"

Zhe Rou bumped into his scorching gaze, which was so bright and hot that it made her heart tremble. Her chest seemed to be lightly gripped by something, and her breathing stagnated.

It's all over.

She wants to move forward.

No matter who it is, no one can force her to bow her head.

After a long while, she closed her eyes and heard her own very soft voice.

"good."

It seemed as if Xie Yunzhou's Adam's apple rolled violently in his heart. He could no longer bear it and suddenly leaned over and kissed her. Their breaths were hot and intertwined, slowly invading her inch by inch.

The young man's back muscles were thin and strong, stretched into sharp lines that rose and fell with his movements. Hot kisses fell down, moving down along the neck, pecking and licking lightly and heavily.

Gradually finding the fun, Zhe Rou couldn't help but tilt her slender neck back, tiny sobs emanating from her throat.

Outside the window, the wind and snow were getting stronger, the north wind was howling, and the snow flakes were hitting the window frames, but inside the house, a humid and hot air was gradually steaming up, and the warmth was as warm as spring.

Have a good sleep in the spring.

The next morning, Zhe Rou was still asleep when someone suddenly knocked on the door. The voice was faintly impatient, and it frightened her inexplicably.

This is an abandoned government post. No one else lives there, so the old soldiers naturally won't come to disturb us. Who could it be?

Xie Yunzhou frowned, stood up, quickly put on his inner clothes, and went downstairs to put on his boots.

He walked to the door, stretched out his hand to open the wooden door, and the cold wind wrapped in snow foam whistled in. He subconsciously raised his eyes and his eyes met Lu Chen's in the corridor.

Xie Yunzhou was stunned.

The air seemed to suddenly freeze.

After staring at each other coldly for a moment, Lu Chen spoke first, his voice hoarse and cold from the wind and snow, "Where's Yaoyao?"

Xie Yunzhou came back to his senses, smiled, and stretched out his long arm to block the door, "She doesn't want to see you."

Lu Chen remained silent, scanning the room silently. His gaze was like a cold knife, slicing through every corner inch by inch.

From the burnt-out charcoal brazier on the ground, the two used teacups on the table, to the messy corner of the bed behind the screen, to Xie Yunzhou's half-open collar, and finally to the glaring red mark on his neck.

Lu Chen's eyes suddenly turned fierce.

Without any delay, he rushed into the house. Xie Yunzhou's eyes turned cold, and he stepped forward to block his way.

Lu Chen looked at him coldly, "She's inside."

Xie Yunzhou glared back and said angrily: "I said, she doesn't want to see you!"

The two young men pressed their chests together, breathing rapidly, like two beasts gathering strength to fight, staring at each other in a stalemate.

Lu Chen's brows darkened, and he suddenly grabbed Xie Yunzhou's right wrist, which was injured last night, and twisted it hard. With a click, Xie Yunzhou's face turned pale.

While he was in pain and losing strength, Lu Chen pushed him away and rushed straight into the guest house.

Xie Yunzhou gritted his teeth and cursed, then staggered after him.

The post station here was extremely simple, with the room only a few inches in size. Lu Chen walked around the screen in two or three steps, but the moment he saw the situation inside, he was nailed to the spot as if struck by lightning.

He pursued the case for a whole night, his heart burning like oil and fire, wishing he could turn over every inch of Minzhou.

Thousands of possibilities flashed through his mind, but he never expected that after rushing to the inn all night without sleeping, he would see this scene.

Hearing the noise at the door, Zhe Rou had already hurriedly put on her clothes, but had not yet had time to comb her hair. Her long, thick black hair was spread out like a waterfall, lazily piling up around her neck, and her eyebrows were filled with spring love, as languid as water.

Their eyes met.

After a while, his gaze slowly moved downwards.

It was unclear why, but Zhe Rou's heart suddenly tightened. Almost instinctively, she raised her hand to tighten her clothes, but still failed to hide the glaring red spot on her snow-white neck.

It was like a red-hot iron, burning into the bottom of the eyes, instantly burning and drawing hot blood.

Suddenly, he felt a suffocating pain from being squeezed in his chest, and something in his blood vessels exploded in an instant. Lu Chen's body swayed, and his knees almost couldn't support him.

I thought she was in extreme pain when she drugged and escaped that night, but I never imagined that this day would come.

Thousands of arrows pierced my heart.

Remove bones and meat.

The tables and chairs in the guesthouse, as well as the air he breathed, turned into blunt knives, cutting into his flesh and blood one by one. His blood vessels burst and invisible blood gushed out from inside.

It was as if his soul was being ripped out of his body, and he felt severe pain in every part of his body. The pain was so severe that he felt dizzy and almost fell to his knees.

Lu Chen's eyes instantly turned crimson. After a long while, he turned around very slowly and stared at Xie Yunzhou, who was a few steps away. A fishy-sweet taste rolled in his throat, and every word, soaked in blood, was forced out from his teeth. "Explain."

Xie Yunzhou gritted his teeth and said, "As you can see, why should I explain?"

He was so furious that he suddenly became frighteningly calm. Lu Chen's voice was deep and slow, "Did you touch her?"

Xie Yunzhou frowned when he heard this and did not answer immediately.

He didn't want to use words like that.

I just felt that it was disrespectful to her.

Lu Chen's knuckles were clenched until they turned pale and blue, and veins bulged on his forehead. "She's taking effect from the drug... and you're taking advantage of her, huh?"

Xie Yunzhou's expression suddenly changed, "Lu Bingyan, you are the bastard and I am not!"

Without hesitation, Lu Chen drew his sword and pressed it hard against his throat. His eyes were bloodshot, and he gritted his teeth as he roared, "She's my wife... Xie Mingqi, she's my wife! How dare you touch her?!"

The blade was sharp and penetrated into the flesh three inches deep, causing blood to flow out in an instant.

He really wanted to kill him.

Zhe Rou was horrified and rushed forward, tightly grasping Lu Chen's right hand that was holding the knife. "Lu Bingyan, are you crazy? He is Mingqi, let go!"

Lu Chen suddenly turned his head and stared at her fiercely, "Miss, you want to protect him?"

Zhe Rou's heart was shaken. She had never seen Lu Chen like this before. His eyes were bloodshot and he looked as ferocious as a vicious Asura. There was no trace of his former elegance.

Her body was shaking, but she suppressed her fear and gritted her teeth to pry open his fingers that were holding the knife.

Lu Chen looked at her motionlessly.

Xie Yunzhou seized the opportunity to twist around, abruptly freeing himself from the knife. He pulled Zhe Rou behind him, glared coldly at Lu Chen, and angrily scolded him, "She'd already taken your divorce letter and cut ties with you! It was you who chose to be a beast, hurting her, forcing her, and humiliating her. You've done her no good!"

"Lu Chen, listen carefully. Between her and me, it's not that I touched her, but I will give her whatever she asks for."

"Including me."

"She wants you?" His heart had been pierced inch by inch by the ice spike. Lu Chen gritted his teeth and endured the cramping pain. He forced a cold smile and said woodenly, "She just wants revenge on me!"

Xie Yunzhou suddenly froze, his knuckles clenched so hard that they crackled, but he was unable to fight back for a moment.

He knows himself well.

Although she now has some affection for him, it is far from being deeply in love with him. If Lu Chen had not pressed her step by step, she might have hesitated for several months, or even years, before accepting him so completely.

"no!"

Zhe Rou suddenly spoke.

Hearing the sound, Lu Chen stiffened his neck and slowly turned his head to look over, as if any movement would exhaust all his strength.

Her voice was soft, but clear enough to hear.

"Lu Bingyan, I don't want to take revenge on you. I just want to completely sever this karmic connection and live a peaceful life with the person I love."

Lu Chen's body suddenly froze, as if he had been struck by a thunderbolt, and he stood there frozen like a clay or wooden sculpture.

After a long while, he slowly narrowed his eyes, his Adam's apple rolling up and down, his voice hoarse as if it had been ground by sand and gravel, "...Say it again."

Even though he tried his best to suppress it, there was still a hint of trembling in his voice, and it was unclear whether it was out of anger or fear.

Zhe Rou met his gaze, her eyes clear as water, and her tone extremely calm: "Lu Bingyan, I like him."

It felt like being hit on the head with a heavy blow. A sharp buzzing sound suddenly pierced the eardrum and roared in the brain.

What did she say?

He was afraid he had heard it wrong.

His heart felt like it was being gripped ruthlessly, his internal organs twisted into a ball. Lu Chen clenched his teeth tightly, suppressing the fishy-sweet taste that had already rushed to his throat. It was like swallowing a piece of burning coal, the searing pain burning from his throat all the way to his lungs.

But his blood was boiling, and no matter how hard he tried to suppress it, a line of scarlet still overflowed from the corner of his lips, which was particularly glaring on his pale jaw.

That's his mistress, his mistress!

The beauty that originally belonged to him alone!

Does it hurt?

I was in so much pain that I didn't know what to do. My whole body was stiff and numb, and I didn't know where I was.

Why was that thing in her chest still beating? It should have been pulled out, torn apart, crushed to dust with her own hands.

Lu Chen watched the situation coldly, his heart filled with shock, hatred and anger. The blood in his body gradually ran colder, but a smile appeared on his lips uncontrollably.

After a while, he finally let out a dull laugh, which then grew louder and louder, until veins on his forehead bulged out and even his shoulders began to tremble violently.

As he laughed, he suddenly raised his head. In his bloodshot eyes, a glimmer of water appeared for a moment, but disappeared in the blink of an eye, so fast that people thought it was an illusion.

"My brother, to whom I have pledged my life and death, and my first wife, you two are in love with each other... I have disturbed your wild love, haven't I?"

Xie Yunzhou gritted his teeth, his whole body tensed, and he felt a mixture of emotions that were difficult to describe.

"Good. Very good."

Lu Chen chuckled softly twice, slowly raised his head, woodenly wiped the blood from the corner of his lips, and raised his hand.

Suddenly, there was a clanging sound of armor rubbing against each other outside the door. A team of guards in distinctive armor broke through the door and rushed in like a tide. The cold iron armor blocked out half of the sky.

Lu Chen's expression became calm, without any trace of emotion.

"Take it."
