Her long, slightly curled eyelashes, like a small fan, covered her face.
Gu Qian couldn't help but stroke Qiu Yan's eyelashes with one hand, then her profile, her red lips...
Her soft cheeks and lips were icy cold.
When I held her small hand again, it was still ice-cold.
In the dead of winter, after traveling all day, how could they not be cold?
Gu Qian felt sorry for Qiu Yan and reached out to hug her tightly, wanting to keep her warm.
"Gu Qian, stop fooling around." Qiu Yan seemed to be talking in her sleep as she pushed Gu Qian away and shifted to a more comfortable position.
Her breathing was steady, and her gentle voice, tinged with a hoarse weariness, made Gu Qian feel hot all over.
With a beautiful woman by his side, Gu Qian couldn't fall asleep.
His heart pounded with excitement, and he forced Qiu Yan to turn towards him.
Because of Gu Qian's movements, Qiu Yan felt a little uncomfortable, so she rolled over and turned her body to the side, giving Gu Qian a back view.
Gu Qian repeated his previous actions...
"I told you to stop fooling around." Still groggy, Qiu Yan kicked Gu Qian off the bed.
Then, she turned over and went back to sleep.
Gu Qian... was in unbearable pain.
His Yan Yan is so strong even when she's asleep.
He climbed onto the edge of the bed, rubbed his sore buttocks, tucked the blanket around Qiu Yan, and then, leaning over the table next to him, tossed and turned several times before finally lying down on the table and falling asleep.
...The next day, at dawn.
When Qiu Yan woke up, she felt refreshed and energized.
She stretched and looked around at the unfamiliar surroundings. Suddenly realizing she was in an inn, she quickly looked for Gu Qian.
She found Gu Qian lying curled up on the table. She got out of bed, picked up the quilt, tiptoed over to Gu Qian, and covered him with the quilt.
After waking up, she couldn't fall back asleep.
After staying in the room for a while, Qiu Yan, preoccupied with something, simply tied her hair up, slowly pushed open the door, and left the room.
After Qiu Yan went downstairs, she left the inn and arrived at Huaiyuan Street.
The bright moon had just faded, and the sky was still dark and not yet bright.
A cold wind swept by, biting and piercing.
Qiu Yan shrank back and took a step forward.
Qiu Yan was unfamiliar with the area, so she naturally wouldn't go far.
The streets were deserted, not a soul in sight.
At the fork in the road ahead, some men dressed in black were patrolling.
Seeing this, she hid behind the wall. After those people left, she continued walking.
Compared to Baiyang, Huaiyuan is much larger, and its streets are also much wider.
Further along, in a side alley, she saw two men lying on the ground ahead.
Unable to contain her curiosity, Qiu Yan went forward to investigate, and what she found was...
Corpse!
"Young lady, do you know these two people?"
Suddenly, a deep, resonant voice rang out from the air.
Is it a human or a ghost?
Luckily, Qiu Yan was brave enough, otherwise she would have been scared half to death.
She was startled and quickly turned around to check.
A man dressed in white fell swiftly from the sky.
The man was surprised to see Qiu Yan.
Qiu Yan stepped back and looked at the man in front of her carefully. "Who are you?"
"My name is Qin Feng. May I ask why you are here, young lady?"
"I couldn't sleep, so I came out for a walk."
That reason is rather far-fetched. In the dead of winter, especially on a frigid morning, what girl would go out for a stroll before dawn?
"Really? I can't sleep either. How about we take a walk together?"
"I'm sleepy, I'm going back to catch up on some sleep," Qiu Yan said, turning to leave.
"Miss," Qin Feng called out to Qiu Yan, "Perhaps I can help you."
"Do you know what I'm going to do?"
"It's not even dawn yet, and you're already out wandering around. I guess you're looking for someone."
"So self-righteous! Who said I was looking for someone?" Qiu Yan thought to herself, deciding it was better to avoid trouble, and walked away without looking back.
