Chapter 109 If the world is at peace - Chu Single Line (Part Two): Full
Chu Yu walked to the table, his cool fingers slowly brushing aside her stray hairs, revealing her stunningly beautiful face.
His fingers didn't leave, but slowly slid down her cheek.
Outline her eyebrows and eyes, down to the corners of her lips.
Her delicate, petal-like lips were meticulously outlined.
It's as if they want to imprint everything on their fingertips and palms.
Play with it at will.
Yu Wanyin was not sleeping peacefully; her eyebrows and eyelashes trembled slightly.
If she opened her eyes, she would find that the refined young man had changed from his usual upright manner, his eyes were dark and sinister, and he looked at her like a ferocious beast that would devour her.
Chu Yu did not stop because of her actions; on the contrary, he became even bolder and more flamboyant.
He seemed to be looking forward to her waking up.
That way he wouldn't have to hide it anymore.
Unfortunately, she didn't.
She was tired and slept soundly.
Chu Yu lifted her onto his lap, letting the sleeping woman lean against his chest, while he flipped through her homework with his other hand.
He slowly and methodically examined and scrutinized the area.
He examined the number of papers, which was clearly more than he had assigned.
Chu Yu only needed to think for a moment to know who had given her this extra assignment.
She, the daughter of a lowly subject, could not possibly refuse the orders and demands of royalty and nobles.
However, she wrote very quickly.
Chu Yu spread out the paper and then naturally picked up the pen that was placed aside.
Yu Wanyin slept very restlessly that night.
She had a nightmare in which she was kidnapped, blindfolded, and locked in a room.
After an unknown amount of time, someone entered the house.
She could feel the light falling on the silk cloth in front of her, and vaguely saw a figure walking towards her.
He moved slowly, approaching as if admiring his prey that he had finally captured.
Cool fingers slowly slid down her cheek and then landed on her clothes.
She tried to dodge, but he grabbed her wrist and said in a sinister tone, "Yaoyao is naughty."
Then, he produced chains from who-knows-where and bound her hands.
"Guess how long I've been waiting for this day?"
Yu Wanyin was imprisoned by him, and although she tried to break free, she couldn't.
She was enveloped by the cool, soft touch of the man.
They were invaded and occupied.
Forced to endure the pleasure of the gathering and scattering of the soul.
He came every day for several days in a row.
But he never dared to let her see what he looked like.
But the voice was incredibly familiar.
Yu Wanyin woke up in a cold sweat early in the morning.
My heart was still pounding with the same throbbing feeling I had in my dream as I soared to great heights; my whole body felt numb, and I couldn't muster any further reaction for a long time.
The initial confusion and weakness upon waking were intertwined.
Yu Wanyin breathed a sigh of relief.
It was just a dream.
She slowly moved her body, got up, and lifted the blanket off herself.
Aside from the drowsiness of just waking up, there was nothing else wrong with me, which made me realize how absurd I had been.
It was just a dream.
What is she thinking?
How could anyone dare to rob her in the Prime Minister's residence?
Yu Wanyin was slowly about to get out of bed when she suddenly stopped!
She paused for a moment before realizing what was happening.
She seems to have fallen asleep in the Prime Minister's study yesterday...
Why did I wake up here?
She was wearing her nightgown now; who changed her into it?
Yu Wanyin sat frozen in place for a moment before quickly getting up.
After quickly dressing and washing up, she opened the door and was greeted by a maid coming in from outside.
The maidservant, seeing her get up in the morning, exclaimed in surprise, "Miss, you're up? Why didn't you wake me?"
Yu Wanyin hesitated for a moment, then asked more tactfully, "I think I fell asleep in the Prime Minister's study yesterday. I hope I didn't disturb him."
"No," the maid said with a smile. "I think the Prime Minister has a very good temper. He asked me to pick you up."
Yu Wanyin breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that it was her who had come to pick her up.
I suppose she was the one who helped me change into my nightgown. "That's good."
The maid entered the room and placed down the hot water she had prepared. "I also brought back your homework for you, young lady."
"You're really diligent; you fell asleep while doing your homework in the Prime Minister's study."
Yu Wanyin saw the stack of books on the table and walked over. "You must have been too tired yesterday."
Just as Yu Wanyin was about to put the book back into her small backpack, she suddenly sensed something unusual.
She unfolded the book in her hand and was surprised to find that she had already completed most of the two assignments.
Only a small portion remains.
But she vaguely remembered that she hadn't written much before she fell asleep yesterday.
But strangely, it was all her handwriting and brushstrokes.
She recognized her.
Could it be that she remembered it wrong?
She probably wrote quite a bit before she fell asleep...
I have indeed written quite a bit.
Looking at it this way, it's just a matter of finishing up the last bit of work, and the homework can be completed.
Yu Wanyin found it increasingly strange and turned to ask the maid, "Is this how you brought these back?"
Hearing her words, the maidservant hurriedly stepped forward, "Is there anything I forgot?"
“No.” Yu Wanyin found it difficult to explain. “I don’t remember writing so much.”
Upon hearing this, the maid smiled and walked away, saying, "Perhaps you were so diligent yesterday that you were too tired to remember anything."
The maid continued tidying up the room.
Yu Wanyin frowned and thought hard, but she still couldn't figure out what was going on.
They quickly accepted this explanation.
After all, memories before falling asleep are usually blurred.
Moreover, it was her own handwriting; it couldn't have been written by Chu Yu for her.
Thinking of Chu Yu, Yu Wanyin put her homework into her small cloth bag and couldn't help but ask, "Is the Prime Minister here today?"
"The Prime Minister has gone to court today and we don't know when he will return. Please wait a while, young lady."
Upon hearing this, Yu Wanyin said, "It's alright, I don't have anything urgent to do."
I just wanted to ask about her accidentally falling asleep last night.
Unfortunately, she didn't see Chu Yu for two days in a row.
She didn't see him again until two days later, on the day of the lecture at the academy.
Chu Yu entered from the outer hall, and Yu Wanyin caught a glimpse of a blue pouch hanging from his waist, which shimmered with a blue-green light as he moved.
The sight of his jade pendant clashing with that of the Left Chancellor was especially pleasing to the eye on a hot summer day.
That was a sachet she gave him.
Yu Wanyin didn't expect that he would actually wear it.
Chu Yu walked to the front table and stood still, speaking in a gentle and warm tone.
Yu Wanyin unconsciously straightened her posture, occasionally feeling the gaze of the person above her linger on her for a moment before quickly moving away.
She didn't think much of it, after all, he treated all students equally.
Yu Wanyin still addressed him as "Teacher" at school.
This is the most basic respect for the teacher.
The same is true for others.
When Chu Yu lectured, the students in the school were generally more focused.
The sons and daughters of these princes and ministers also cooperated exceptionally well.
After all, people from the Central Plains are inherently gentle and kind, and surely no one would dislike such a refined gentleman.
After the morning lectures ended, everyone got up to have lunch and rest.
Yu Wanyin was tidying up the books on the table when she saw young masters and servants bringing her family's pastries. She bowed to Chu Yu and said, "Sir, there is something I don't understand. I hope you can enlighten me."
"You're too kind." Chu Yu made room for him. "Nothing is impossible."
The young man walked up to Chu Yu, and a moon-white sachet at the young man's waist caught Chu Yu's eye without warning.
The needlework and embroidery patterns were extremely similar to the one he wore.
The boy explained his confusion in detail.
Chu Yu slowly gathered his thoughts and began to explain to him.
Only at the very end did he mention, "Your sachet is very exquisite."
The boy chuckled and scratched his head. "Sir, you have some too. Miss Yu from Yingzhou is very thoughtful. Right now is the season when mosquitoes are rampant, and she has prepared some for many of us."
Upon hearing the words "many people," Chu Yu's eyes darkened with a smile, but his face remained impassive. "Yes, Miss Yu is very considerate."
Yu Wanyin didn't know what they were talking about, but suddenly felt a chill creeping into her body.
Before she could think further, the princess beside her pulled her up, "Come on, let's go have lunch."
The princess pulled Yu Wanyin away.
The same sachet at her waist was so blatantly displayed before Chu Yu's eyes.
Chu Yu quietly observed the sachets at the waists of these people and then went with them to have lunch.
He walked under the shade of the trees, the shadows obscuring his face. To outsiders, his smile appeared as gentle as a spring breeze, but at that moment, it carried a hint of sinister unease.
It turns out it wasn't just given to him.
Chu Yu felt that the sachets hanging on other people's bodies were an eyesore.
I want to destroy it.
How can everyone have something that Yao Yao gave them?
After lunch, everyone went to their respective rooms in the study for a nap.
When the appointed time arrives, the bell will ring, and the afternoon lectures will continue.
Yu Wanyin and the princess rested together in the same room.
All was quiet.
In a daze, Yu Wanyin was suddenly awakened by a shout of "Fire!" from outside.
She was only taking a light nap during her afternoon rest, so she woke up very quickly.
After a brief moment of respite, the footsteps outside became increasingly numerous, one after another, from outside the door.
Soon, there was a loud knocking on the door of their room. "Come out quickly! The backyard is on fire!"
The princess was also startled awake. "What happened? The water suddenly caught fire out of nowhere."
They quickly responded, put on their outer garments, and without even taking off the sachets and jade pendants they had taken off before going to bed, they ran straight outside.
I ran into the yard and smelled the smoke in the air.
The entire academy was shrouded in a choking haze.
The fire originated in the woodshed in the backyard, not far from the small kitchen.
In the height of summer, the fire spread rapidly along the vegetation in the backyard to the surrounding houses, bringing waves of heat.
Servants carrying buckets of water went back and forth to put out the fire.
The princess was halfway through her run when her arm was bumped hard by a passerby.
She cried out in pain, "Who dares to be so bold as to..."
"Alright, Princess." Seeing that she was about to run back, Yu Wanyin quickly pulled her back. "We need to get out of here first."
The pageboys of the academy went from room to room, knocking on each door and calling out to the people, saying, "Everyone, go hide in the front yard."
Everyone rushed to the front yard, and many others ran out and went directly from the academy back to their residences.
Fortunately, the discovery and evacuation were timely. Except for some belongings that could not be taken away in time, everyone managed to escape.
After seeing the princess off, Yu Wanyin was about to return to the Prime Minister's residence when a familiar figure approached her.
When Wu Zhou encountered her, he immediately stepped forward and asked, "Have you seen our Prime Minister, young lady?"
Yu Wanyin stopped in her tracks. "Hasn't he come out yet?"
Wu Zhou frowned as he listened to Yu Wanyin's tone. Without saying anything more to Yu Wanyin, he hurriedly ran inside.
Yu Wanyin hurriedly followed her inside.
The teacher's lunch break was not in the same place as the students.
It seems to be in an even deeper courtyard.
Yu Wanyin remembered that the place was very close to where the fire started.
So they escaped, and then he...
Many houses in the backyard have already been damaged, and the fire is spreading rapidly.
Chu Yu sat quietly in the smoke-filled house, stroking the sachet in his hand.
Grind it to extract more aroma.
His brows remained relaxed and at ease, as if he couldn't see the flames rising around him.
He couldn't see himself being engulfed by the fire.
The fire burned brighter and brighter, and he even felt a sense of joy.
If he goes out this time and sees people fleeing for their lives, he might be thinking of taking Yaoyao's sachet.
Chu Yu's lips curled up, and he leisurely narrowed his eyes, letting the firelight reflect the sinister look in them.
Then he'll kill someone.
Yu Wanyin wasn't quite sure which room Chu Yu was in, but fortunately Wu Zhou knew very well.
Wu Zhou handed Yu Wanyin a damp handkerchief and quickly walked to the backyard.
The servants in the backyard were busy controlling the fire outside and had no time to pay attention to the fire inside.
When Yu Wanyin and Wu Zhou arrived at the backyard, they discovered that the woodshed that had caught fire was right next to Chu Yu's house.
At this moment, the area was filled with smoke, and nothing could be seen clearly.
Wu Zhou kicked the door open and saw Chu Yu lying unconscious inside. "Prime Minister!"
Just then, a pillar nearby slumped over, and Wu Zhou immediately braced himself, saying, "Take the Prime Minister away first!"
Yu Wanyin agreed and quickly helped Chu Yu up from the ground and left the house.
Yu Wanyin was shorter than Chu Yu, so it was a bit difficult for her to help him out.
Fortunately, the journey out was smooth.
There were also many servants from the academy helping out.
Yu Wanyin summoned the carriages and horses from the Prime Minister's residence and helped Chu Yu into the carriage.
This carriage is for Chu Yu's exclusive use, and it comes with a bed in the back.
Yu Wanyin wanted to take him over to lie down for a while.
Unexpectedly, he lost his footing and stumbled, falling to the ground.
The man lay on top of her, his body feeling somewhat heavy.
Yu Wanyin could feel the slightly cool touch of his body. He lowered his head, and his breath sprayed very lightly onto the nape of her neck.
By chance, his slightly cool lips touched the side of her neck.
It stirred up a fine tingling sensation.
Yu Wanyin shrugged and immediately helped him up, taking some effort to place him on the bed.
She got up and went to ask, "When will the doctor arrive?"
The servants by the carriage were also anxious. "Lord Chaoyue just went to call the doctor. It will take at least a quarter of an hour."
Yu Wanyin knew that most of the people who had fainted in the fire were poisoned and needed to be treated as soon as possible.
Otherwise, their lives would be in danger.
Without a second thought, she closed the carriage door and turned back.
Yu Wanyin sat by the bed and hesitated for a moment, then apologized softly like a child who had done something wrong, "I have offended you, sir."
As soon as she finished speaking, she reached out and tore open Chu Yu's tightly bound waistband.
She was incredibly inexperienced and didn't know how to untie a man's waistband. After clumsily untying it, she took the opportunity to remove his heavy outer robe to ensure he could breathe freely and dissipate the poisonous gas.
Chu Yu's clothes were in a mess because of her.
But in her desperate attempt to save her life, Yu Wanyin's mind was filled with the treatment information in the book, and she tore open his collar completely.
The man's shirt was wide open, and his thin, muscular chest, covered by his undershirt, came directly into her view.
It has a white, smooth, and full appearance that has never been touched, and it is hot to the touch.
