Chapter 307 What Really Needs to Do

The Major General's Mansion was noisy for most of the night before people dispersed in small groups.

Huo Gannian was in Yun Chen's dormitory, and before he could even sit down, he was dragged away by the drunk and extremely bold Hua Jue.

In order to avoid suspicion, Yun Chen now lives in his own Major General's Mansion and no longer lives in the Huo Mansion.

But this did not stop Huo Gannian from climbing over the wall and through the window every night.

Only Ye Yan knew about this matter. He used the excuse that the young master's leg disease had healed and there was no need to guard by his bedside at night, so he did not allow anyone to enter Qiyunju at night and only allowed people to guard outside the door.

Therefore, the guards had no idea that they were actually guarding an empty room every night.

Hua Jue, relying on his man's instinct, concluded that Huo Gannian must have bad intentions for staying in the Major General's Mansion so late.

There was no other way, so Huo Gannian could only pretend to go back home. Under Hua Jue's supervision, he washed up by smashing the basin and throwing the handkerchief, and then walked around for a long time before returning to the Major General's Mansion.

Although Qinggong is good, it is useless if you are in a hurry.

Huo Gannian climbed in through the window, panting, and saw Yun Chen lying drunk on the couch, sleeping soundly.

He took off his coat, tiptoed onto the bed, kissed her cheek, hugged her body and rocked her gently.

"Chen'er, don't sleep, talk to me."

She was not annoyed at being woken up, and responded drowsily:

"Okay, what are you talking about..."

When she spoke in a sleepy state, her tone was always as soft as a child's, which softened his heart.

He couldn't help but hug her even tighter. "You received a lot of gifts today, didn't you? Are there any you like?"

She was so sleepy that she couldn't even open her eyes, so she simply spoke with her eyes closed:

"Yes. I quite like the whole set of rouge and powder that Su Zhengyang gave me. There are more than twenty colors of the stuff on the eyelids alone, and it sparkles, so beautiful. Oh, and he also gave me a pair of mink nests. I'm thinking of giving them to Zhiluo, Momo, and his wife one day."

Having said that, Yun Chen suddenly wasn't sleepy anymore. He opened his eyes wide and looked at him with a serious expression that made him stunned for a moment.

"Anian, tell me." She frowned and asked seriously, "Momo is black, and his wife is snow-white. Will the mink they give birth to be half black and half white?"

You know what, this question really stumped him.

"It should be black and white stripes, right? Like a white bear?"

"Will it have a black head and a white body, like a little mallet?"

"Tsk...it's also possible that its body will be black with four white paws. Then it will be just right to be called 'Treading Snow'."

"You can also call him 'Pastry Chef'."

"Hahaha...then let's go and take a look then."

"I hope I can see Momo again then. I always feel that Zhiluo...is not the same as before."

Yun Chen recalled that every time he saw Zhi Luo during this period, she always looked cold and listless, and no longer loved to joke with Yun Chen like before.

On several occasions, Yun Chen noticed that Zhi Luo had bruises on his body.

Sometimes on the neck, sometimes on the wrist.

She asked Zhiluo what was going on, but the latter just said indifferently, "It has nothing to do with you." Then he turned and left.

After hitting a wall several times in a row, Yun Chen gradually stopped looking for Zhi Luo.

Huo Gannian naturally saw everything clearly. After thinking for a while, he just said:

"Serving the emperor is like serving a tiger. Being a court lady is not easy. She must be too exhausted."

Yun Chen nodded, then thought of Huo Gannian's decision to stay in the East Palace to discuss matters at noon.

"Does His Highness have any new orders? Is he asking us to return to the southeast and hunt down the Black Scale Cavalry?"

"Yes." Huo Gannian suddenly thought of the cramped and oppressive roof of the temple. All his thoughts flooded into his mind, making him feel anxious.

"His Highness said that he would arrange a marriage for us after the war is over."

She was very surprised: "Your Highness, why don't you hold me accountable for the crime of disguising myself as a man?"

No further action will be taken.

These three words were too fake and he couldn't say them.

He didn't want to think too deeply about what happened during the day, so he hugged her tightly, buried his head in her neck and kissed her non-stop, his breathing gradually becoming heavier.

"Chen'er... let's get married now, okay..."

Without waiting for her to speak, he leaned forward, his lips and teeth covering her deeply, from her neck to her two soft little bunnies, from her slender waist down...

With unprecedented arrogance and strength, he kissed them deeply one by one, as if he really wanted to conquer the city.

After being teased so many times, this was the first time she felt such strong urgency and possession from him.

He had always only tasted her briefly, but tonight he seemed to really want to eat her up completely.

After a moment's hesitation, she slowly relaxed her body, feeling both nervous and expectant, as she prepared to face the night that was bound to come.

When he had stripped her down to the last piece of gauze, he suddenly stopped, fell on top of her, panting, and looked at her with deep and burning eyes.

"Chen'er, I love you."

Her body was completely limp, and she smiled shyly and softly, "Me too."

He looked straight at her and continued in a firm tone:

"So no."

Like reining in a galloping horse, he struggled to get off her and wrapped her up in the quilt, making her like a big dumpling.

Through the thick quilt, he hugged her, resting his chin on the top of her head, and whispered:

"If I die, Chen'er can still marry a good family."

Yun Chen was stunned for a moment and struggled to get up, but he was held so tightly that he couldn't move at all.

"Ah Nian, what's wrong? What happened? Are you going to do anything dangerous?"

He held her tightly, buried his face in the quilt, not letting her see his expression, and said sullenly:

"Everything in this world must die. You and I will have this day."

It was rare to hear such discouraging words from him, but she couldn't refute it.

Indeed, they live on the edge of a knife and lick blood.

Just look at how the guards of the Huo Gang died one after another and were replaced one after another; the average age of the soldiers of the Lion Army is getting younger and younger, and you will know that the world is impermanent and life and death are uncertain.

She stopped struggling and hugged him back tightly:

"If you die, I will die with you—"

"No." Before she could finish her words, he interrupted her: "If I die, you can cry, you can go crazy, you can make a fuss, but you can't die with me."

Since ancient times, mandarin ducks have had a miserable life, and there are many couples who commit suicide for love.

Given Yi Yunchen's personality, if Huo Gannian died, she would follow him.

He said, "My Chen'er is good in every way. He's willing to sacrifice his life for his country and his soul for his master. He always cares about others, but he doesn't cherish himself too much. If you could be more selfish, I would be relieved. If one day I die, I hope you live well, and live a life that belongs not to anyone but yourself."

Ye Yan once said that Yun Chen was a loyal and foolish man.

She will never learn to calculate, and will spend her whole life sacrificing herself to help others.

Such people are naturally favored and liked by everyone.

Before he knew she was a girl, Ye Yan even said that she was nobler than a gentleman and more like a saint.

Yun Chen didn't dare to think about how she would live if she lost Huo Gannian one day.

Just thinking about it made her nose sore and she couldn't stop crying.

Seeing her crying like this, he felt so distressed that he held her face and kissed her non-stop.

"Good Chen'er, your crying breaks my heart, please don't cry."

She sobbed and sobbed: "Is this why you don't do that with me?"

He wanted to coax her, so he gently kissed away her tears and asked with a wicked smile:

"Why, Chen'er really wants to do that with me? Great, I'd love to!"

As he said this, he pretended to take off her last gauze dress, which made her angry and annoyed. Without stopping her tears, she punched him on the shoulder.

He held her fist, sniffed and kissed it gently, and said in a low voice:

"Chen'er, I want you, I dream about you. But now I dare not. This is the first time in my life that I, Huo Gannian, have said the word 'dare not'. If I die, you will still be a virgin. Whether you marry or live alone, this absurd and pedantic world cannot blame you for anything. But if I am so selfish and want you, what will you do when I die in the future..."

Yun Chen, oh Yun Chen, we are unfortunately born in such an era of hypocrisy and decadent ethics that can devour people.

I want to cause such a big fuss that the sky will collapse and the earth will crack, that the sun and the moon will change their appearance, and that we will usher in a new world.

But the future is bleak and dangerous, with countless variables.

I never care about perfection or innocence. I am only worried that if the road I am about to take cannot lead to success... If I die, no one will protect you anymore, and the world will draw its sword and rush towards you.

How could I bear to leave you to suffer in this world?

He had a thousand thoughts and feelings in his mind, but he couldn't say a word.

Don’t tell the gods what you really need to do.

He couldn't tell Yun Chen.
