Chu Chenan's heart skipped a beat.
It was Lan Huai's voice.
He breathed carefully, feeling every cell in his body tense.
The cold kiss lasted for a long time, and the man's other hands were on his shoulders.
He didn't dare to move at all, just praying that this feeling would disappear quickly.
However, Lan Huai still kissed him, from forehead to chin, and the coldness almost penetrated his whole body.
"Why did An An take so long to come home?" Lan Huai's cold voice reached Chu Chen An's ears, and his fingertips stroked Chu Chen An's eyebrows.
Chu Chenan's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he didn't dare to answer Lan Huai's oppressive question.
The night wind was chilly, and the melodious sound of the xiao echoed for a long time, making the atmosphere even more eerie and creepy.
Chu Chenan closed his eyes tightly. In the darkness, he seemed to be able to only feel Lan Huai's slow and leisurely touch.
...
...
The corner of his lip that was bitten was still aching slightly, and he felt Lan Huai kissing his neck again.
Suddenly, he felt a pain in his neck again.
Lan Huai bit his neck lightly and rubbed Chu Chenan's ear, "I don't like An An hiding from me."
Chu Chenan was shocked.
Then, there was another round of kisses.
Chu Chenan was shivering from the cold.
As he was kissed, he gradually fell asleep in the strong fragrance.
…
Chu Chenan suddenly opened his eyes, his head was covered with sweat, and he sat up with the help of his hands.
He glanced at the window. It was just dawn outside the bamboo window. The air was cool and pure. Occasionally, the sound of birds chirping could be heard from the woods.
He stared blankly at the floor for a few seconds, his bright peach eyes suddenly widened, and he grabbed his collar and looked down.
It was covered in red marks, most severe between two points.
Chu Chenan finally woke up completely.
It was really Lan Huai last night!
He got up in a hurry and went to look at the peach wood sword he had hidden under the bed.
The red wood of excellent quality has become a gray and black ruin.
He seemed to feel Lan Huai's anger.
The xiao that he had thrown outside the corridor was now hanging on the head of his bed. The tassels swayed in the breeze from time to time, making crisp sounds.
When Chu Chenan was looking at Xun in astonishment, there were suddenly several knocks on the door.
Chu Chenan was so frightened that his heart trembled. He came to his senses and went to open the door.
He Xuesheng stood outside the door, his eyes were gloomy and his complexion was pale. "Chen An, there has been no news about Lao Liang and the others for two days. How about we go up the mountain to look for them?"
Chu Chenan heard from He Xuesheng that Lao Liang was He Xuesheng's cousin's brother-in-law, and he begged Lao Liang to take him along on this trip.
It's inevitable that people will be worried if they can't be contacted for two days after going up the mountain.
"Okay, I'll clean it up." Chu Chenan raised his hand to cover the red mark on the back of his neck.
"Hmm." He Xuesheng followed Chu Chen'an in and sat down on a rattan chair. He raised his head and sniffed, "Chen'an, you smell so good, a bit like the smell I smelled in the flower field before."
Chu Chenan paused while packing his backpack and laughed dryly, "Really? I didn't pay much attention."
He went into the bathroom and changed his clothes, a simple white top and jeans, which made his skin look even fairer, his waist slim and his legs long, adding a bit of youthfulness.
The collar of his shirt was long enough to cover the red marks to some extent. He put two Band-Aids on it to cover the kiss marks that could not be covered above the collar.
He Xuesheng's occupational disease came back, and he shook his head and said, "Chen An, can you be my nude model? Your body structure is simply perfect."
Chu Chenan laughed dryly, "Let's go."
…
As usual, the two of them met Lan Xu downstairs.
Lan Xu sat upright and elegantly, with enchanting and deep facial features, dressed in bright purple attire, and holding a celadon teacup with steam lingering around it, making him easily recognizable.
Chu Chenan paused slightly and met Lan Xu's gaze.
Lan Xu smiled at him and said, "Morning."
"Good morning, Lan Xu." He Xuesheng sat down at the table, took a bun and started eating it, "You got up so early."
Lan Xu nodded calmly to He Xuesheng. He glanced at the backpack behind Chu Chenan and asked, "Where are you going today?"
"Well, we plan to go to Wulan Mountain to look for Lao Liang and the others." He Xuesheng chewed his steamed bun, reacted, and explained, "Oh, Lao Liang is the one who took the camera a few days ago, he is my cousin's husband. They have been unable to contact him, so we will go look for him now."
Lan Xu understood. He watched Chu Chenan put down his backpack and took a sip of porridge.
Chu Chenan's shirt was tucked into his jeans, making him look thinner. There were two suspicious Band-Aids on the back of his neck, and there were some red marks on the surrounding fair skin that could not be covered up.
Lan Xu's eyes were dark, he naturally knew what it was.
He quickly regained his smile and said to He Xuesheng, "Do you know the way up the mountain?"
He Xuesheng paused, and finally reacted. He patted his thigh and looked at Chu Chenan, "Yes, we don't know the way."
Chu Chenan raised his eyes and met Lan Xu's strange and dangerous gaze.
"How about..." He Xuesheng tugged at Chu Chenan's sleeve and whispered in his ear, "Let Lan Xu lead the way for us?"
Chu Chenan glanced at He Xuesheng.
But Lan Xu is Lan Huai's younger brother after all...
While they were still hesitating, He Xuesheng had already asked, "Lan Xu, are you free today? We are unfamiliar with the place, could you please show us the way?"
"Sure." Lan Xu nodded leisurely. He propped up his chin and stared at Chu Chenan's moist red lips. "I'm free today."
Chu Chenan glanced at Lan Xu and whispered, "Thank you."
Chu Chenan always felt Lan Xu's burning gaze. He lowered his eyes and drank half a bowl of porridge.
His red lips were glistening, looking soft and alluring.
Lan Xu had been coveting it for a long time.
…
They quickly set off and headed up the road into the village.
Lan Xu stood between them, Chu Chenan lowered his head and said nothing. He Xuesheng did not notice the subtle atmosphere, he was talking the whole time.
"Lao Liang said they were going to the secret realm. We can go there first," He Xuesheng said, holding a piece of grass in his mouth. "Lan Xu, do you know the way to the secret realm?"
"Yeah." Lan Xu looked ahead.
Suddenly, Chu Chenan felt a burst of hurried footsteps coming from his side.
After a few "clang" sounds.
A pair of pale hands suddenly grabbed his legs, and the sudden gravity caused him to fall to the other side.
Chu Chenan was shocked, and when he looked down, he saw that the person pulling him was a young woman in a red dress. She looked haggard, her face was terribly pale, and her feet were shackled.
Just when his balance was unstable, Lan Xu at the side put his arm around his shoulders to help him steady himself.
"Be careful." Lan Xu said to Chu Chenan.
Chu Chenan looked at the young woman on the ground. He squatted down and tried to help her. The woman widened her eyes ferociously and suddenly hugged Chu Chenan's neck tightly.
She whispered in Chu Chenan's ear, "Run, he is not a good person, there is a ghost in the underworld... run..."
The woman's voice was unclear, and before Chu Chenan could hear what she said next, Lan Xu pulled the woman away from Chu Chenan.
Lan Xu looked at the red marks on Chu Chenan's neck, frowned slightly, and the gloom in his eyes disappeared in an instant.
He helped Chu Chenan up and asked gently, "Are you okay?"
Chu Chenan looked at Lan Xu timidly and shook his head.
Who is the "he" this woman is talking about?
Then, a young man from another race came up from behind her.
"Wu Yao, take the person back quickly," Lan Xu smiled with narrowed eyes, his voice cold, "It would be bad if something happened."
The woman in the red dress screamed, and He Xuesheng was so scared that she crawled a few meters away on the ground, shouting frantically, "No, I won't go back, let me go! Ahhh, I don't want to go back!"
Suddenly, the woman fell backwards to the ground.
Her limbs were shaking as if she was being controlled, her eyes were dull and empty, and her mouth was incoherent and she could no longer shout out.
The young man named Wu Yao, who was wearing light yellow clothes, grabbed the arm of the woman in the red dress and pulled her into his arms, saying, "I'm sorry, my wife has some mental problems. I'll take her back now."
After saying that, Wu Yao picked up the woman in the red dress and walked away.
The woman in the red dress didn't have any injuries on her body, but there were many ambiguous marks. She didn't look like a member of the tribe here, and it seemed that she was forced.
Was abducted. Sold it?
But there are many young women in the village, and the economic development is not backward, so there is no need to buy a foreign woman to marry.
Chu Chenan was stunned for a long time.
He Xuesheng watched them walk away, "She does seem to be emotionally unstable..."
Lan Xu patted the dirt on Chu Chenan's shoulders and said, "Let's keep going."
Chu Chenan nodded: "Okay."
He was still thinking about what the woman in the red dress had just said.
There was a ghost underground. He knew it the last time he came to this copy.
But who is that "he"?
…
They soon walked onto the mountain path, and Lan Xu led them through the dense forest.
The dense forest had so many trees that there was no sense of direction at all. They could only follow Lan Xu forward.
From time to time, bursts of mournful bird calls could be heard in the woods, making the atmosphere seem depressing and creepy.
After passing through a dense forest, they came to a bush. There were many beautiful red flowers on the bushes, and the air began to be filled with an alluring fragrance.
"No, I feel dizzy," He Xuesheng shook his head and walked at the end, "I don't think I have heat stroke."
"I have some water here," Chu Chenan hurriedly handed him the water in his bag and said with concern, "How about we take a break before we go?"
Lan Xu watched Chu Chenan hand his water cup to He Xuesheng, and glanced at the back of Chu Chenan's neck where a Band-Aid was applied.
His fingertips lightly crushed the green leaves, and a hint of obscurity flashed across his eyes.
He smiled brightly, "Well, let's take a break."
They sat down in front of a wooden block.
He Xuesheng drank all the water in the cup and rubbed his temples but still felt dry mouth.
Lan Xu looked at Chu Chenan, "Did you sleep well last night?"
"Well, it's okay..." Chu Chenan nodded, picked up a small wooden stick and poked the ground.
He was bitten by Lan Huai all night last night.
Chu Chenan's eyelashes were curled, trembling slightly like butterfly wings in the light gold, making Lan Xu stare at her in a daze for a moment.
Lan Xu asked, "Is your back injured?"
Chu Chenan shook his head and said softly, "No, it's just a mosquito bite, I accidentally broke it."
Lan Xu smiled and said calmly, "That's right."
Suddenly, there was a "plop" sound.
He Xuesheng beside him fell directly to the ground, his lips began to turn blue visibly, and he was unconscious.
Chu Chenan opened his eyes wide with fear. He hurriedly helped He Xuesheng up and leaned him against the tree stump. "He Xuesheng, what's wrong with you?"
Lan Xu walked towards him slowly, and every step he took was accompanied by the sound of crisp silver bells.
Chu Chenan felt inexplicably flustered. He turned around and looked at Lan Xu, "What happened to him?"
Lan Xu smoothed his silver jewelry with his hands and said slowly, "Maybe, it's poisoned."
"What?" Chu Chenan patted He Xuesheng's face gently, but He Xuesheng had already lost consciousness.
He looked around at the strange flowers growing around him, the fragrance filling his nostrils, and said in a trembling voice, "What should we do? Should we take him back first?"
When he stood up, he felt his legs go weak. After a dizzy spell, he fell into Lan Xu's arms.
His eyes trembled pitifully, and his red lips were slightly parted.
Lan Xu slowly and methodically smoothed away the hair ends on Chu Chenan's forehead that were stuck with sweat.
He whispered, "What should I do? You seem to be poisoned too."
Lan Xu's voice was deep and charming, causing Chu Chenan's vision to blur.
Lan Xu hugged him very tightly. Chu Chenan struggled slightly and his hand slid down Lan Xu's shoulder.
Lan Xu wrapped his large palm around Chu Chenan's small hand and picked him up.
Chu Chenan's vision was blurry and he squinted his eyes, as if he was brought into an ice cellar.
It was very cold around him and Chu Chenan felt like he had fallen into a deep dream.
"He kissed you for a long time, right?" Lan Xu stroked Chu Chen'an's lower lip with his fingertips and said jealously, "I want it too."
"Be good, don't move..."
