The same move was successful against Xia Qingyue at the beginning because Yun Che had been helping Xia Qingyue with her profound enlightenment for several days in a row and was physically exhausted in the middle of the night. After all, their real relationship as husband and wife was there, and no matter how cruel and chaste Xia Qingyue was, she would not have the heart to let Yun Che sleep on the floor again… and Yun Che was clamoring that he would rather die than let a woman sleep on the floor, so he ended up sleeping on the same bed with Xia Qingyue… even though nothing happened.
However, on Lan Xueruo, the same move was obviously much easier to work.
After all, Lan Xueruo was two years older than Yun Che, and subconsciously she always thought of Yun Che as a younger brother. In addition, unlike Xia Qingyue's cold and aloof personality, Lan Xueruo had a soft and gentle heart, so how could she bear to let Yun Che, who risked his life to save her many times, sleep on the cold floor...
So, the result is logical.
Lan Xueruo slept inside, Yun Che slept outside, with a long blanket rolled up by Lan Xueruo between them.
“Your body is not allowed to extend beyond this blanket, otherwise… otherwise…” Lan Xueruo’s face was serious, but her warning expression did not make Yun Che feel any sense of intimidation. Instead, it made him feel pleasing to the eye.
“Senior Sister, don’t you believe me?” Yun Che said with a smile, then he lay down flat on his back and whispered to himself, “But… if Senior Sister sneaks over to my place… what should I do? Should I run away, or pretend that I know nothing…”
Lan Xueruo was so angry that she pretended not to hear and lay on the bed facing inwards.
The lights went out, and the room was pitch black. In the silence, although Lan Xueruo closed her eyes, she could not fall asleep for a long time. Her heartbeat accelerated uncontrollably, so fast that she could almost hear her own heartbeat.
Thinking back to her meeting and getting along with Yun Che, she couldn't help but admit that she had always been attracted and moved by him. And tonight, she was sleeping in the same bed with him... Sleeping in the same bed, she found that she was only nervous and uneasy, but not afraid or repulsive at all. This made her feel a vague sense of danger, but she couldn't resist or eliminate it.
She actually slept in the same bed with a man... This was something she had brought up on her own initiative, and that made her feel how incredible this was. Because for her, this was a scene she had never imagined. She began to imagine that if it was the same situation, but Yun Che was replaced by someone else, would she also do this out of softness and heartache...
She thought about it for a long time, switching between several people, and the answer she got was... Absolutely not!
Did I trust him too much... Maybe. After all, he even risked his life to protect me, and he was so open-minded and brave, he would definitely not do anything to offend me in this situation...
While Lan Xueruo was upset, she heard the sound of Yun Che's even breathing, and it seemed that he had fallen asleep peacefully.
Lan Xueruo's tension was relieved immediately, but inexplicably, she felt a little empty. Her heart was basically calm, and she felt tired all of a sudden. Before long, she fell into a deep sleep.
That night, Lan Xueruo thought she would have trouble sleeping, but she didn't expect to fall asleep so quickly and sleep so soundly. In her dream, she vaguely felt herself gradually sinking into a warm embrace. This warmth made her heart very stable and peaceful, and she longed to get closer and embrace this warmth. Only when she hugged this warmth tightly did she fall into a deeper sleep with satisfaction. She didn't wake up in the middle of the night, and she didn't have any nightmares.
The next day.
When Lan Xueruo woke up, the light that her eyes were exposed to was already very strong. When her vision became clear, she subconsciously looked up and saw Yun Che's eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
"Morning, Senior Sister."
Lan Xueruo subconsciously prepared to respond, but when she opened her lips, what came out was a scream.
Her arms were tightly wrapped around his upper body, even her bulging breasts were pressed against his chest, her long left leg was wrapped around his waist, and her whole body was so close to him that there was no gap.
Lan Xueruo bounced away from Yun Che as if she had been electrocuted. She frantically tidied up her messy hair and clothes. Her heart was pounding and her face was flushed.
“Senior Sister, you seem to feel very insecure when you sleep. Is there something you are afraid of?” Yun Che asked, looking into her eyes.
"I... didn't... didn't..." Lan Xueruo answered somewhat helplessly... She vaguely remembered the warm feeling in her dream that made her feel inexplicably at ease, and she also completely understood that this warm feeling came from Yun Che. And because she subconsciously longed for this feeling, she had been actively approaching him and hugging him tightly.
Yun Che woke up very early, but he remained quietly in his original position until Lan Xueruo woke up. Lan Xueruo took the initiative to hug him tightly, which did not make him feel charming, but a faint pity and heartache, because her sleeping posture proved that under her peaceful and gentle appearance, there were countless hesitations and even fears. He just didn't know what she was hesitant and afraid of.
Yun Che sat up, then suddenly stretched out his hands, held Lan Xueruo’s snow-white right hand in his hands, and said sincerely: “Senior Sister, although I don’t know your identity, I don’t know your family background, and I don’t know what you have been through... But I said that as long as I am by your side, I will definitely do my best to protect you and never let you get hurt again.”
Her hand was suddenly held by a man in such an ambiguous way, and his tender words were heard in her ears. Lan Xueruo, who had never experienced this before, was stunned for a moment, and her mind went blank. She let him hold her hand for a long time before she woke up from the dream, hurriedly pulled her hand away from his palm, and jumped off the bed in a panic.
"You...you already have a wife..."
After leaving behind a sentence that she herself didn't know how to say, Lan Xueruo ran away quickly. That beautiful figure clearly had the meaning of fleeing in despair.
After Lan Xueruo ran away, Yun Che shook his head and smiled, then tapped his chin with his hand and said to himself, “It seems that I was wrong. Her behavior is definitely not that she is deeply in love with me. She just has a kind of affection that she herself is not quite clear about. But why did she treat me like this before... and even risked a huge risk to go to the Xiao Sect branch alone to save me?”
In the suddenly awkward and ambiguous atmosphere, the two continued their journey to the Blue Wind Empire. When night fell, they looked for an inn for the second time. This inn also had only one room left, and like the last one, it claimed that it was the only inn within a hundred miles. If they stayed, they could stay. If they didn't, they would have to sleep on the street.
Yun Che and Lan Xueruo had no choice but to move into a guest room again.
After the first time, the second time was much easier and more natural. The two of them slept in the same bed again, with a rolled-up blanket between them...
When Lan Xueruo woke up the next day, she saw the same situation as yesterday. The blanket had been thrown somewhere, and she was hugging Yun Che like an octopus, hugging him very tightly...
The third day, the fourth day, the fifth day...
Every time they went to an inn, it was as if they had agreed on it. No more, no less, just one room left, absolutely no more. Some inns only had one room, some had several, but all of them only had one room... This made Lan Xueruo feel weird every time. After the second and third time, the fourth and fifth time were even more natural. And these days, every time Lan Xueruo woke up, she would see herself hugging Yun Che tightly. Even if she tried hard to remind herself before going to bed, she would still do so after waking up, and vaguely hugged him tighter each time.
After sleeping in the same bed for the past few days, the last bit of rejection she had subconsciously felt towards such physical contact with Yun Che had quietly disappeared.
On the sixth day, when they found the inn, Yun Che simply slapped his hand on the counter and said in a dignified manner: "Boss, give me a room."
Lan Xueruo just opened her lips, then lowered her head without saying a word of objection.
If Lan Xueruo traveled with other men, she would not even let them touch her finger, let alone sleep in the same bed. But when she met Yun Che, a veteran with two lifetimes of experience and a youthful appearance, let alone that she was only eighteen years old, even if she was twenty-eight, she would definitely fall for him quietly... and she herself would not even notice it.
————————————
Blue Wind Imperial City, the capital of Blue Wind Empire, is located in the north-central region of Blue Wind Empire. It is also the largest city in Blue Wind Empire, with an area more than thirty times that of New Moon City. In the center of the Imperial City is the highest power center of Blue Wind Empire - the Imperial Palace.
Forty miles north of the Imperial Palace is the location of the Blue Wind Empire's highest Xuanfu - the Blue Wind Xuanfu.
The Blue Wind Xuanfu has a history of a thousand years. It was established by the Blue Wind Imperial Family to cultivate high-level Xuan practitioners for the royal family. It is also a holy place that countless young Xuan practitioners in the Blue Wind Empire dream of. The Blue Wind Xuanfu is divided into three levels: the outer palace, the middle palace, and the inner palace. If you can enter the middle palace, if you are willing to serve the royal family in the future, you will be valued by the royal family. If you join the army, the starting point is the level of a thousand men. If a Xuan practitioner can enter the inner palace, then he will be highly valued by the royal family. When he is in the Blue Wind Xuanfu, he will be given excellent resources and the best conditions. Any growth in the Xuanfu will be paid attention to by the royal family. Before leaving the Blue Wind Xuanfu, he will receive a warm invitation from the royal family. Once he joins the royal family, being conferred a title of nobility is secondary. The entire family he belongs to will be rich and glorious, and his family will rise to heaven.
Therefore, being able to enter the inner palace of the Blue Wind Profound Palace is the dream of countless young profound practitioners...it can even be said to be a luxury.
However, Blue Wind Xuanfu was after all the highest Xuanfu in the Blue Wind Empire. Not to mention entering the inner palace, even entering the outer palace with the lowest standards required extremely harsh conditions, enough to extinguish more than 90% of the Xuan practitioners who were eager to join Blue Wind Xuanfu, and they could only settle for the second best and join the imperial Xuanfu in those small cities.
