"Why did you hit me?" Lu Wan said aggrievedly.
Chen Yan only felt the heat in his chest become stronger, burning all the way to his throat, making his mouth dry: "I didn't hit you."
Lu Wan felt even more aggrieved, shaking Shen Yan's finger and signaled: "You poked me with it."
Chen Yan was angry and amused, and said, "Then you poke back, okay?"
But it's obviously impossible to reason with a drunkard.
Lu Wan tilted his head and stared at Shen Yan's finger in thought: "If you bully me, I will bully you back."
"Ah." She actually bit it.
But she was not conscious at the moment and did not use much force. It was more like sucking than biting.
Shen Yan's pupils suddenly shrank.
The fine teeth press on the finger bones, but it doesn't hurt, just a dense and numb feeling.
Her lips wrapped around that knuckle and she looked up at him confusedly.
There was a mist in her beautiful round eyes, yet there was a hint of pure innocence.
The soft tip of the tongue followed closely, sweeping across the fingertips lightly.
Warm, moist, and itchy.
The sweet aroma that he smelled became stronger and stronger, and the fire in Shen Yan's heart almost instantly spread to every part of his body.
No matter how stupid he was, he understood at this moment what this abnormality came from.
The burning incense must have been burned in Baihua Tower to entertain the guests.
What's worse is that the medicine seems to be a bit strong.
"Lu Wan, let go." Shen Yan's face was tense.
Lu Wan said vaguely: "No... well."
The soft and moist warmth is like an abyss that tempts people to sink into.
Shen Yan's face was hot, and the corners of his eyes were faintly red.
He pulled his hand back forcefully, his voice trembling: "Lu Wan, we should go back."
Lu Wan's mind was in a mess and she couldn't hear what he was saying.
She grabbed Shen Yan's neck and rubbed it like a spoiled child.
The hair stuck to Chen Yan's skin, causing a slight itch.
“Lu Wan, be good and don’t move.” Shen Yan’s throat tightened and he picked her up.
I have to go back.
If he didn't go back, he was afraid he would do something rude.
Lu Wan hummed twice like a cat, and suddenly bit his neck.
The force used was not small, and Shen Yan let out a light "hiss".
When he looked again, the person had fallen asleep in his arms.
Shen Yan said helplessly: "You are getting bolder and bolder."
After he tidied his clothes, he carried Lu Wan out of Baihua Tower, and his face was still hot until he got on the carriage.
Fortunately, the two of them were engaged, otherwise, he really couldn't imagine Lu Wan treating others like this when he was drunk.
After arriving at the City Lord's Mansion, he put Lu Wan on the bed, and went out with Ye Wuzhao to look for Yan Ling'er's whereabouts.
Ye Wu has returned to his usual calm and cold self.
He said to Shen Yan: "According to my subordinates' inquiries, Yan Ling'er should have been taken to the other courtyard by the Third Young Master."
Shen Yan pondered and asked, "Do you know why the people in the City Lord's Mansion refused to let Yan Ling'er go after Fu Zhou died?"
Logically speaking, Yan Ling'er was a pipa girl, so even if she knew Fu Zhou, she didn't have to die.
Ye Wudao: "According to the investigation, Fu Zhou often went to see Yan Ling'er before his death. The frequency was so high that it didn't seem like he was just meeting his lover."
"Then maybe Fu Zhou or Yan Ling'er has some leverage over the Lord of Lizhou City." Chen Yan guessed, "Let's go to the Third Young Master's villa first."
According to his observation, the third young master of the City Lord's Mansion was a playboy who was extremely greedy for beauty.
The Lord of Lizhou City asked him to deal with Yan Linger, but it was unclear whether he had killed her or not.
Ye Wu nodded his head and after a while, he asked hesitantly, "Major General, have you been to Baihua Tower?"
Speaking of Baihua Tower, Chen Yan couldn't help but recall the ambiguous scene in the dim and fragrant room.
Shen Yan's throat tightened and he uttered a low "hmm".
"But there is nothing suspicious in Baihua Tower. They probably don't know the whereabouts of Yan Ling'er."
Ye Wudao: "I will go check whether the courtyard is safe first."
Shen Yan waved his hand, and Ye Wu's figure disappeared from the spot.
He stood outside and slept for a long time, waiting for the cool breeze to blow away all the heat in his heart, before he returned to the room.
Lu Wan is still sleeping.
If she had known that the fruit wine was so intoxicating, she would never have drunk more even if she was beaten to death.
It was not until dusk that Lu Wan was awakened by Shen Yan.
The blush on her face did not fade, and her eyes were confused as she looked at Shen Yan blankly.
It took me a long time to wake up.
Shen Yan asked: "Do you remember what happened?"
Lu Wan shook his head.
She remembered that she went to Baihua Tower with Shen Yan, listened to the pipa, and then she drank several glasses of fruit wine.
Then……
Chen Yan was inexplicably nervous, his knuckles clenched together: "Then what happened?"
Lu Wan vaguely remembered the scene of Chen Yan hugging her, so she asked, "Did you hug me?"
Shen Yan pursed his lips: “Yeah.”
She tried her best to think about it, but she had no impression of it and instead felt a bit of a headache.
"If you can't remember, don't think about it," Chen Yan said when he saw her frowning and rubbing her head, "It's nothing anyway."
He warned: "Don't drink so much next time."
I couldn't tell whether I was disappointed or relieved.
It doesn’t matter if you can’t remember it, it’s not a good thing anyway.
Lu Wan nodded repeatedly and promised obediently: "There won't be a next time!"
Shen Yan always felt that her well-behaved appearance was the most deceptive. The small face looked at him prettily.
The flickering candlelight becomes a starry sky scattered in front of the eyes, making people unconsciously sink into it.
"Brother Ayan," Lu Wan looked at him suspiciously, "Why is your face red?"
Shen Yan coughed a few times, turned his face away unnaturally, and said: "...Maybe it's too hot."
Chun Ye was a little bored, so Lu Wan didn't think much about it and got up from the bed.
She trotted away for a while, and came back with a wet handkerchief.
Lu Wan smiled at Chen Yan and said, "I'll help you cool down!"
As he said that, he pressed the wet handkerchief in his hand against Shen Yan's face.
Of course she wasn't that kind.
Lu Wan knew that Chen Yan had a bit of a germaphobia and never let other people's things get close to him.
So she just wanted to piss him off on purpose and used her own handkerchief.
It’s still the most fragrant one.
——"I don't believe you can resist pushing me away!"
Shen Yan was subconsciously preparing to push it away.
But he held back.
That's hers.
The tip of his nose seemed to be lingering with her pleasant, sweet fragrance, just like when she was clinging to him in Baihua Tower.
The tip of Shen Yan's ears felt hot.
He didn't dodge, so Lu Wan touched his face with the wet handkerchief without any hindrance.
Lu Wan was stunned.
——"Why, why doesn't Lu Gou play by the rules? This makes me look stupid!"
She decided to do something bad secretly and take the opportunity to pinch the male protagonist's face. It shouldn't be considered a ruin to her character.
"Lu Wan," Chen Yan put his hand on the back of her hand, his eyes like ink paintings, looking at her steadily, "Be good."
