【Jiang Yan×You】What to do if you sleep with your brother-in-law 2
You woke up in Jiang Yan's arms, and then you noticed that Jiang Yan's hair was actually longer than yours. After it was spread out, it fell to his waist, and it was shiny black.
——It would be a waste to keep such beautiful hair tied up in a bun. You kept calling him “good husband” for a long time, and he finally nodded and agreed to let you help him tie his hair.
So, you suddenly had an idea and tied his hair into a high ponytail. With the loose hair on his temples and his bright eyes, he looked so heroic that you couldn't help blushing if you looked at him for a few more seconds.
"Jiang Yan, you're so handsome!" You complimented him generously, kissing his chin as you did so. "Such a handsome man is mine!"
"Yeah," Jiang Yan sat there obediently, and when you looked up, he kissed you back, a warm kiss landing on the corner of your eye. "Yours alone."
He is really handsome and well-behaved like a little deer. Your heart softens and you slowly hug his waist and lie in his arms to rub against him.
After an unknown amount of time, Jiang Yan suddenly touched your head and said in a low, deep voice, "...Do you want to do it again?"
you:?
You felt like you had underestimated the physical strength of a man in his prime. In the end, you almost couldn't even climb onto the horse's back, and it was Jiang Yan who carried you up.
Walking slowly back to the Shenxian Ferry with Jiang Yan, you curiously asked him, "By the way, you haven't told me yet, what are you doing here at Shenxian Ferry?"
Jiang Yan always answered whatever you asked, and this time was no exception: "Just visiting relatives."
You were startled. "Do you have relatives in Shenxiandu? I happen to be a resident here. Why don't you tell me who you're going to visit? I can even show you the way."
Jiang Yan paused, his eyes becoming a little evasive. He hesitated for a moment before saying, "My adoptive father asked me to come and visit his daughter, who is... my sister."
You immediately understood: Jiang Yan was probably afraid that you would get jealous, so he deliberately called his "sister" "sister".
Then you realize another problem - why does the setting of visiting your sister on the orders of your adoptive father sound so familiar?
You pondered for a moment, silently studying Jiang Yan. A disciple of Tianquan, that matched; his Snow-Cutting Sword Technique, that matched; his military background, that matched; his adoptive father, that matched; and his visit to Shenxian Ferry to see his adopted sister, that matched.
You suddenly felt a strange sense of collapse. You looked at Jiang Yan desperately, and in his confused eyes, you tentatively called him: "Young General?"
Jiang Yan's eyes widened slightly, and he looked at you in astonishment: "How do you know... No, I'm not--" He was halfway through his words when he finally reacted and couldn't hide his shock: "Could you be... Senior Brother Chu?"
You feel as if you're a little dead.
— Daddy, whom I haven't seen in years, sent your sworn brother to visit you, and you slept with him! How could this possibly happen!!!
Jiang Yan looked at you, his eyes slightly red, and he looked like he was about to break.
You immediately forgot about collapsing and quickly hugged him to comfort him: "Jiang Yan, don't worry about it. We are siblings, not biological children. Isn't it enough that we like each other?"
"...my adoptive father treats me like his own son," he muttered, staring at you blankly. "You are his youngest daughter, how could I..."
"But I only like you!" You eagerly confessed your feelings. "And this is clearly my fault. I took the initiative..."
"You little bastard, you still remember to come back!" Before Jiang Yan could answer you, you heard Uncle Chu yelling. "Where have you been playing? You haven't come home for two days. Do you know how worried we are? Next time you go out, can you tell me in advance?"
Although he seemed to be so anxious that his accent came out, you didn't bother to answer him and waved your hand at him casually: "Uncle Chu, please don't say anything. I'm trying to comfort my husband!"
Uncle Chu paused and raised his voice even louder: "Sir? Where are you calling me Sir? Stop joking around like that!"
Then, a figure with a fur collar landed on the stone steps not far away. The figure looked at you with his hands on his shoulders and muttered, "What's the point of a young man... Wait, Jiang Yan? You're Jiang Yan, right?"
Then you learned a truth that was even more shocking than Jiang Yan being your brother - Jiang Yan and Uncle Chu were the same age!
"Impossible!" You opened your mouth in shock. "Uncle Chu, you look so old, how could you be the same age as Jiang Yan?"
Jiang Yan:?
"Your Uncle Chu looks old, while Jiang Yan looks young, right?" Uncle Chu was amused by you, his hands on his hips looking at you. "You little bastard, you used to say 'Uncle Chu is the most handsome,' but now you've been charmed by Jiang Yan and you don't like your Uncle Chu anymore, right? You conscienceless little scoundrel!"
You weren't in the mood to banter with Uncle Chu. You took Jiang Yan's hand and gently rubbed his fingertips: "Jiang Yan, don't worry about that nonsense. Do you not like me anymore? Are you going to deny it now that you have it?"
"I didn't!" Jiang Yan immediately denied, looking at you seriously. "You know I can't."
"So you're breaking up with me?" You looked at him pitifully. "You're the only one I've ever loved since I was little. If you reject me, I'll have no choice but to run away and wander the world, or join the army and die on the battlefield on behalf of the Song Dynasty..."
"No!" Jiang Yan interrupted you, pressing you into his arms. "It's too dangerous, you can't go... We won't break up..." He seemed to have made up his mind and told you, "I will speak openly with my adoptive father about this and ask for his permission."
"What if Daddy doesn't agree?" you asked.
Jiang Yan looked at you, his eyes as clear and bright as when they first met: "Then I have no choice but to leave home with you and wander around the world, except for one thing - you must not join the army to march south. The swords on the battlefield are merciless, and I'm afraid you will get hurt."
“Jiang Yan…” You were so moved that tears welled up in your eyes and you buried your head in his arms.
"Ahem," Uncle Chu, who had been standing for a long time, cleared his throat. "Hey, you two, can we put an end to this love talk? How come you can't hear me breathing?"
You and Jiang Yan: "..."
Uncle Chu said, "You two are quite destined to be together. You are sworn brothers and sisters, and you are lovers..." He patted Jiang Yan on the shoulder and said cheerfully, "That's right. We Tianquan men are brave enough to love and hate, and we are willing to risk our lives for our loved ones! You are just like your Senior Brother Chu back then!"
Jiang Yan nodded and smiled bitterly: "But my adoptive father..."
"Jiang Yan, it's not like you don't know the General," Uncle Chu curled his lips. "When has he ever opposed anything you've done? Even when you and Chen Zixi were causing trouble, he apologized to everyone on your behalf. Now that you two are in love, how could he object?"
Jiang Yan was silent for a while, then shook his head. "I'm not afraid of my adoptive father rejecting me, I'm afraid he'll agree right away. For so many years, I've been by my adoptive father's side, enjoying his love for her for over a decade. Now, the general hasn't even had time to spend with his little girl, and I'm..."
You understand. He has always felt guilty towards you, his father's biological daughter, and now he wants to kidnap you, so he feels indebted, both to you and to the general.
But you don't think this is a problem. Uncle Chu and Aunt Han treat you like their own child and have never let you suffer any grievances over the years. Your father has to guard the border and cannot leave. You understand all of this.
"You have always called the general 'adoptive father'. Now it's just a matter of changing the title to 'dad'. It's not a big deal." Uncle Chu stretched and smiled casually.
"Yeah," you chimed in. "We're in love with each other, so we'll be a real family from now on. Wouldn't it be better if we could stay together forever?"
Jiang Yan was slightly moved, and was obviously attracted by the future you talked about. He held your hand tightly and made up his mind: "Okay, we will be together forever."
So when Wang Qing arrived at Shenxian Ferry, the first thing he saw was you and Jiang Yan kneeling by the boundary marker.
Wang Qing:?
He slowed down his pace and looked hesitantly at Han Xiangxun and Chu Qingquan beside him: "Two kids are in trouble? What kind of trouble is it? Is it easy to solve? Do you need me to intervene?"
Han Xiangxun thought for a moment and explained calmly, "It's not a big deal. They just love each other and want to be together."
Chu Qingquan nodded: "Or they are destined to be together, falling in love at first sight, just like me and Qingqing...ah!"
Han Xiangxun silently withdrew her elbow that was hitting his chest and pretended nothing had happened.
Daddy walked over to you and Jiang Yan, offering his hand to help you up before looking at you. "Not bad, taller and stronger than I thought. You look like a female warrior."
You smiled a little sheepishly.
Daddy looked at Jiang Yan again. You could feel Jiang Yan's muscles tense, clearly a little nervous. Then Daddy said, "What are you nervous about? Why do you think I asked you to come back to see her first?"
What does this mean...?
You and Jiang Yan looked at each other and were both stunned.
Daddy smiled and patted Jiang Yan's shoulder. "Ah Yan, how could you be so confused at the critical moment? I watched you grow up, and you're a child I'm very proud of. Why would I object to you becoming her husband, taking care of her and treating her well? Isn't this much better than just finding some random guy out there who you don't know well?"
After hearing these words, you and Jiang Yan suddenly felt enlightened, and the dark clouds weighing on your hearts dissipated.
So you hurried over, hugged daddy's arm affectionately and said coquettishly: "Thank you, daddy! Daddy is so good to me!"
"I'm your father, and you're my daughter. If I don't treat you well, who else can I treat well?" Daddy smiled cheerfully and patted your head. "Jiang Yan is the son of a good friend of mine. He's a man of both literary and martial talents, and a man of noble character. I've been hoping for years that you two could be together... I was also worried that you wouldn't like Jiang Yan. He suffered a lot as a child, so his temperament is bound to be dull."
"No!" You firmly denied. "Jiang Yan is really good, good in every way, I just like him like that!"
The father and son chatted for a few minutes and then turned around to see Jiang Yan still kneeling on the ground.
You tried to pull him away, but he kowtowed twice to his father, his expression firm. "Foster father, Jiang Yan has received your years of care and support. Now I want to marry your beloved daughter. I swear here that I will love and protect her wholeheartedly for the rest of my life and will never let her suffer any injustice."
"Marry her?" You heard your father laugh. "You've really thought about it. We're all family, so there's no such thing as 'marrying her away' or 'marrying her out'. You've called me 'Dad' before, too. Isn't it better for us to be happy together as a family? Are you still thinking of starting a new family?"
Jiang Yan was stunned, obviously not knowing how to answer the question.
You quickly took over the conversation: "That's right, let's do this! Jiang Yan and I are very happy to be able to accompany Daddy and enjoy his happiness!" Then you pulled Jiang Yan up
You heard your father laugh again, and it was quite loud. He looked at you and said, "You are so good. I have to thank Qingquan and Xiangxun for raising you so well."
"Yes, Uncle Chu and Aunt Han are so kind to me!" You emphasized immediately. "Uncle Chu taught me martial arts and swordsmanship, and Aunt Han has always treated me like her own daughter!"
"My daughter is so thoughtful!" Uncle Chu couldn't help but sigh. "Listen, my daughter, how filial she is... oh!"
Aunt Han gritted her teeth and whispered, "...Didn't I tell you not to be someone else's father..."
"Let's go! I'll treat you tonight. Thank you both!" Dad patted Uncle Chu on the shoulder and smiled at Aunt Han. "Ayan, you should also come and thank your two brothers and sisters-in-law. They raised your future wife with great care!"
Jiang Yan's face flushed, but his voice was firm: "Yes."
As you all walked towards Buxianxian, Uncle Chu was still muttering, "Isn't the generational structure messed up here? I told you we should call each other 'brother and sister-in-law'. We're obviously about the same age as Jiang Yan, but you insisted on calling us 'uncle and aunt'..."
Aunt Han: "Chu Qingquan, if you don't shut up, I will help you myself?"
After three rounds of drinks, the elders were chatting animatedly. You quietly asked Jiang Yan beside you, "Dad said in the letter that you brought me a gift, but why haven't I seen it? What was it?"
Jiang Yan was startled, as if he had just remembered this. He took out a small box from his lapel, looking a little embarrassed: "...This is what my adoptive father suggested I choose. I didn't think it through at the time... Now I feel that after all, this wasn't chosen with my heart, and I'm afraid it's not worthy of you, so..."
You didn't mind, you reached out and grabbed it. Opening the lid, you found a flower-shaped hairpin made of pure gold. It wasn't extravagant, but rather delicately crafted, with each petal the size of a grain of rice, appearing lifelike.
"Thank you, my dear. I like it very much." You knew very well that this hairpin was worth a lot of money. You looked at him with a smile and couldn't help but kiss him on the cheek.
The talking at the table suddenly stopped.
Jiang Yan's face flushed red. You glanced around and found that everyone was looking at you... Uh, did you get a little too proud just now?
"It's a good thing that our children and grandchildren have such a good relationship. Let's not worry about them!" Dad waved his hand. "Come on, keep drinking. It's so rare to drink such good old Tears of Parting. Don't leave until you're drunk!"
After he finished speaking, he looked at you meaningfully, raised his chin towards you, and raised the corners of his mouth.
If it weren't for the tacit understanding between father and daughter, you understood it immediately. You stuffed the hairpin into your arms, pulled Jiang Yan and sneaked out the door while Uncle Chu was watching the fun.
You ran a long way and stopped at the open space behind the Wine Fragrance Tower. Because new wine is stored here all year round, the fragrance of wine and pear blossoms wafts everywhere.
You looked around to see if there was anyone around, and immediately hugged the defenseless Jiang Yan. His body still carried the scent of parting tears, and his fur collar rubbed against your forehead, soft and slightly itchy.
"Jiang Yan, now you have to marry me even if you don't want to." You proudly announced, wrapping your arms around his waist. "Daddy personally approved this marriage!"
"Yeah," Jiang Yan held your face in his hands and slowly smiled. "It's not that I don't want to marry you. I really want to."
You were genuinely surprised that he would say something like that.
Then you were kissed by him, your breaths intertwined were hot and lingering, Jiang Yan's passion was even stronger than in the cave, and you almost couldn't breathe when you weren't paying attention.
Then you suddenly hear someone talking in a very low voice.
"Is that... the young master? Why are the young master and that man hugging each other in--"
"Hush—you're not well-informed. You haven't even heard that the young master has brought his son-in-law back?"
"Oh, I thought it was that Fang Xu—"
"What Fang Xu? There is no Fang Xu. Don't mention Fang Xu in front of the new son-in-law anymore—"
Jiang Yan stopped moving.
He looked at you, his wet eyes revealing a bit of grievance: "You...you and Fang Xu?"
you:?
You quickly explained, "I didn't! Fang Xu and I are just ordinary friends. We just occasionally spar with each other with swords and sometimes I give him some advice when he's short of money—"
Jiang Yan stared at you in such a panic, and suddenly smiled: "Yeah, I know, Fang Xu and I are from the same school."
It took you a moment to react: "Okay, Jiang Yan, you scared me!"
