Chapter 86: Scene 28: Seamless

This is very useful.

Nguyen Chao kept it deeply in his heart.

I remember how miserable I was and how loudly I cried that night.

Although he slapped Chu Xinglan hard in revenge, he was still afraid.

From then on, he never stayed out overnight again.

Every time I go out to play, I will report to Chu Xinglan in advance and tell him when I will be back, and I have never exceeded the agreed time.

But I still drink secretly.

Became a very clingy little drunk.

There is a clear aroma of fruit wine between his lips and teeth, his eyes and mouth are red, and he will grab people's collars and take the initiative to kiss them.

But Chu Xinglan still disliked Ye Qingwei.

Or in other words, he disliked everyone who mattered to Nguyen Chao and who could attract his attention.

After signing the contract with Nguyen Chao to become his partner, he did not feel much security, and his possessiveness increased instead of decreasing. From time to time, a terrible thought would pop up in his mind. He always wanted to tie Nguyen Chao to his side so that he could only see himself.

Such thoughts always reached their peak when Ruan Chao and Ye Qingwei went out to play, leaving him alone at home.

Bigoted and dark.

I had one plan after another to infiltrate the country in my mind, but after seeing the Nguyen Dynasty, I forgot all about it.

I just couldn't bear to do it, so I could only think about it.

Life for two is enough.

Chu Xinglan didn't want anyone to come between them.

Even if the other party only occupied a tiny, sesame-sized part in Nguyen Chao's heart, he still cared a lot.

If it weren't for the fact that Ye Qingwei was his master's daughter, he would have erected a plaque high up on Ruoyun Peak, clearly stating that Ye Qingwei was not allowed to enter.

Therefore, there was nothing to feel guilty about leaving all the unpalatable peaches to Ye Qingwei alone this time.

Ye Qingwei had not yet realized what kind of "rotten stall" she was about to take over.

In the afternoon, she sneaked quietly to Ruyun Peak again.

Want to persuade Ruan Chao to go out and play.

She knocked on the door twice, and it was Chu Xinglan who opened it.

She also received a heavy basket head-on, and if she hadn't reacted quickly, it would have hit her in the face.

She was still in shock: "...What is it?"

Chu Xinglan: "The peach you wanted."

"So much!!" Such a good thing as a pie in the sky actually fell on her head one day. Ye Qingwei carefully observed Chu Xinglan's expression, trying to figure out his motive for doing this, "Are all of them for me?"

Chu Xinglan pretended to take it back: "If you don't want it, forget it."

Ye Qingwei was anxious and held on to the basket tightly: "Yes, yes, yes, how could I not want it!"

She had seen how Chu Xinglan and Ruan Chao used spiritual power to irrigate the peach trees.

The spiritual power flowed toward the roots of the peach tree as if it were free. This treatment was more precious than most herbs. Eating just one of them would accumulate a large amount of spiritual power in the body, making cultivation much more efficient.

Giving her so much at once was a huge bargain for her.

Chu Xinglan specifically reminded him: "These are specially left for you by Chao Chao."

"So no matter whether it tastes good or not, you have to eat it all."

"Ruan Chao left it for me specially?" Ye Qingwei focused on the first half of the sentence. She was very moved. She sniffed and said, "He actually took my casual words to heart. How thoughtful!"

Chu Xinglan: "... Actually no, he just thought of you by chance."

Ye Qingwei's eyes sparkled: "Don't say anything, Senior Brother, I understand."

Chu Xinglan: “…”

No, you don't understand at all.

The two people's brain circuits are completely inconsistent.

After talking nonsense for a while, Ye Qingwei finally remembered why she came and that she was here to play with Ruan Chao.

She poked her head inside, but saw nothing and was blocked by Chu Xinglan.

"Where's Ruan Chao? Is he not here? I have something to talk to him about."

"Inside."

"Then why doesn't he come out?"

"He's asleep." Chu Xinglan said succinctly, "Don't disturb him."

Ye Qingwei let out a sound of disappointment.

He looked back every few steps and turned away reluctantly.

She had just received news that a new restaurant had opened in the town at the foot of the mountain and was offering a 20% discount in the first three days. She was thinking of going there with Ruan Chao to have a big meal during the discount period.

Hope was dashed.

Let’s go back and practice swordplay.

With these peaches full of spiritual energy, her cultivation might be able to rise to another level. During the sect competition, if she works harder, she could get a ranking that is not shameful.

As long as you don’t die from training, then train until you die.

…

Seeing Ye Qingwei leaving, Chu Xinglan lowered his eyelashes and thought for a while. He turned back to the room and walked lightly to the bed.

Chu Xinglan did not lie, Ruan Chao was indeed sleeping.

He slept very well.

Her cheeks were white with a hint of pink, and her long eyelashes left a small fan-shaped shadow on her eyelids. Her chest rose and fell regularly, and her breathing was steady.

"Chao Chao..." Chu Xinglan tucked the corner of the quilt for him and touched his cheek. "I'm going to be away for a while and will be back soon."

Ruan Chao just felt that someone was disturbing his sleep, so he turned to the side with the quilt in his arms and waved his hand impatiently.

Chu Xinglan did not continue to bother him.

He came to the town at the foot of the mountain.

I searched for a long time but couldn't find anyone selling peach trees.

Finally, I walked to a nearby village and found what I wanted.

Unlike the peach trees that the Nguyen Dynasty had worked so hard to grow but produced few fruits, this peach tree was loaded with fruits, almost bending the branches. The peaches were sweet and delicious, and they were full of sweet juice when you took a bite.

He picked the extra peaches and gave them to passers-by.

Only a dozen fruits were left.

Then they quietly planted it in the peach forest to the north, pretending that this foreign tree was one of the trees in the forest.

After doing all this, he cleaned himself up, pretended nothing had happened, and returned home.

Ruan Chao just woke up.

I heard the sound of the door opening in a daze, and called his name in confusion.

"Chu Xinglan..."

"Yeah." Chu Xinglan responded, and then said, "I'm here."

Ruan Chao sat up and looked out the window blankly: "Is it dawn yet?"

"It's not dark yet."

"Okay." Ruan Chao covered himself with the quilt again and closed his eyes with a clear conscience, "Then I'll go back to sleep."

Chu Xinglan: "How about having dinner before going to bed?"

Nguyen Chao: “I’m not hungry yet.”

"I'll eat after I wake up."

He lay quietly for a while, but he felt like something was missing. He threw back the quilt, patted the area around him, and winked at Chu Xinglan: "Come up and sleep with me."

Then she said in a very skillful way, "I can't sleep alone."

Chu Xinglan took off her coat and lay down beside Ruan Chao.

Ruan Chao jumped into his arms like a little cat, hugged the boy's thin waist, and rubbed his chest twice like a spoiled child, making wrinkles in his underwear.

After hugging someone, I finally felt safe. I finally found what I was missing, and I could continue sleeping.

The two of them slept until dark.

Ruan Chao clung to Chu Xinglan with his hands and feet like an octopus, hugging him tightly like a pillow, with his head resting on his arms.

Ruan Chao sat up and stretched. He slept soundly and sweetly, feeling more comfortable than ever before.

Chu Xinglan is still sleeping.

Ruan Chao didn't want to disturb him, so he stepped over him carefully. Just as he took one leg out, someone pinched the soft flesh around his waist. His waist felt sore and he sat on Chu Xinglan's body.

Ruan Chao lowered his head and looked at Chu Xinglan.

In the bright moonlight, one could clearly see those lacquered eyes that were shining with golden light, without a trace of sleepiness in them.

"You're so good. You woke up a long time ago, but you still dared to pretend to be asleep and deceive me."

Nguyen Chao reached out and grabbed his hair, pretending to pull it outwards, his movements revealing a strong threat.

"Hurry up and apologize to me and say I was wrong three times loudly! Otherwise, I will attack you!"

Chu Xinglan didn't say anything.

Ruan Chao pulled off his underwear like a little gangster and touched the boy's beautiful abdominal muscles twice viciously.

Chu Xinglan's breathing stagnated.

Pinching Ruan Chao's waist, he took the initiative to press him under him, grabbed his wrist, and whispered in his ear, asking while panting.

"Why don't you continue touching me?"

"You move so gently... I'll think you're deliberately seducing me."

Ruan Chao: “…” You are awesome, I can’t beat you.

………

More than half an hour later, Nguyen Chao got out of bed.

He tidied his messy hair and changed his clothes.

After dinner, Chu Xinglan pulled Ruan Chao and insisted on taking him to see the peach tree again.

Nguyen Chao was unwilling to do so. "Why go and see them? They have broken my heart. I don't want to see them again these days."

Chu Xinglan: "...Maybe there will be some differences between day and night."

"What's the difference? It still tastes just as bad. It's a waste of energy. It doesn't get any sweeter." Ruan Chao complained but still followed Chu Xinglan to the peach forest obediently.

The top of the mountain was very cool at night, with a gentle breeze blowing from time to time.

The crisp chirping of insects is very loud.

Ruan Chao spotted the peach tree in the corner at a glance.

There were a few bright red peaches hanging here and there on the branches.

He was a little confused... Was there a peach tree here before? He had no recollection of it.

Or is his memory faulty?

When Ruan Chao was doubting himself, a red and round peach was stuffed into his hand.

You can smell the sweet scent from a distance.

They were nothing like the peaches he had picked during the day.

Chu Xinglan seemed a little nervous: "...Tsk, tsk."

Ruan Chao realized something, raised his eyes and stared at him for a moment, then took a tentative bite.

Sweet and crispy.

The mouth is salivating.

After taking the first bite, I wanted to take the second bite.

Chu Xinglan: "...Is it delicious?"

Ruan Chao's eyes curved into a crescent shape: "Sweet."

Chu Xinglan was obviously relieved, "As long as it's sweet."

"You see, our efforts have not been in vain. These peach trees have also produced delicious peaches. The one you just ate was very sweet, right? So we were just unlucky during the day and didn't pick the delicious ones..."

"Chao Chao should be more open-minded," Chu Xinglan rubbed Ruan Chao's head, pinched his cheek and pulled it up, artificially creating a smile, "Don't be sad."

Ruan Chao: “…Okay.”

"Since you've said that..." Ruan Chao deliberately prolonged his tone, "Then I won't be sad."

Nguyen Chao quickly finished the whole peach.

My palms were covered with sticky peach juice.

Chu Xinglan used a handkerchief to wipe him clean.

The longer the two of them were together, the more Chu Xinglan tended to do these little things of caring for others by himself, and rarely relied on magic.

"This finger is still a little sticky, rub it again." Ruan Chao instructed him.

Chu Xinglan wiped it twice more patiently: "Now?"

"alright."

He dug a hole and planted the remaining peach pits in the ground.

There were many traces of fresh soil on the ground. Ruan Chao paused, pretending not to notice the soil on the ground, and buried the peach pit again.

During the day he ate peaches.

The peach I ate at night was hard and crisp.

Chu Xinglan didn't even know the types of peaches and didn't notice such a big loophole, yet he came over to coax him.

never mind.

Considering that he took the trouble to run down the mountain, bought a peach tree, and then hurried back to quietly plant it here.

He just pretended to be kept in the dark and knew nothing.
