Liu Mu was stunned for a moment, and then he realized why Lu Yun had just described the battle plan in such detail. It turned out that Lu Yun didn't want to go with him. He wanted to...stay and take care of his cousin. Liu Mu frowned and instinctively wanted to object. But he met Lu Yun's dark eyes, and then saw Lu Yun's hand on Luo Lingyu's shoulder. His eyes darkened slightly, Liu Mu nodded, said no more, turned around and left.

Luo Lingyu was stunned.

In the blink of an eye, the army left her and Lu Yun cleanly and neatly, leaving only a few followers. She was a little anxious, but Lu Yun looked down at her and said softly: "We won't go. Lingyu, have a good sleep and recuperate. I will accompany you, you can rest assured."

She raised her face and looked into Lu Yun's eyes. After a long while, Luo Lingyu's tense nerves slowly relaxed again.

When she lowered her head, she felt her eyes were wet again. The girl smiled faintly and pitifully. She lowered her head and was carried to the horse by Lu Yun. He followed her on the horse and held her against his chest. This time, she leaned on the chest of the man behind her and finally relaxed and fell asleep.

The sense of security that she had been despairing of was finally given to her by Lu Yun.

…

Lu Yun was an excellent horseman, and he took Luo Lingyu on the road. The ride was smooth, and the girl in his arms slept soundly. Lu Yun told his followers to communicate with Nanyang, and to bring Fan Silang and others who had been captured. Lu Sanlang remembered all the terrain of this area in his mind, and he easily carried Luo Lingyu and found the nearest government post station nearby.

The people at the post station were in a panic, but the clerks had not yet fled. After Lu Sanlang showed his badge, the clerks immediately arranged for hot water in the room so that they could wash up and rest. Seeing that Lu Yun was holding a sleeping girl in his arms, Lu Yun asked them to fetch the women's clothes that the post station usually prepared for emergencies.

Half an hour later, a charcoal fire was lit in the house, and Lu Yun sat in front of Luo Lingyu's bed, holding a towel in his hand. He lowered his eyes, lifted his sleeves, and personally wiped her body and changed her unsightly red wedding dress.

The charcoal fire made the room warm like spring. The girl was probably really too tired and slept very peacefully. Her long hair was spread out like clouds. She slept on her side, and her snow-white face was roasted pink by the fire. Lu Yun reached under her ear and took off her earrings. His eyes were clear and black, and his face was like snow. No one knew what he was looking at or what he was thinking.

Suddenly, Lu Yun lifted Luo Lingyu's long hair and paused when his eyes fell behind her ears——

He saw a red mark on her snowy skin behind her ear.

Like a bite, like a kiss.

The mark left behind her ear in such an ambiguous place made Lu Yun's eyes darken suddenly, and he suddenly became fierce. He stretched out his finger and rubbed the red mark, but instead of wiping it off, the skin behind her ear was rubbed red. Lu Yun's face was extremely cold, and he rubbed it again with his fingertips. Perhaps the force was a little too strong, the sleeping girl shuddered and shrank back.

Lu Yun suddenly came to his senses.

He stared at Luo Lingyu's face, his eyes full of extreme emotions. He looked at her bright red lips and slender neck, and his fingers pressed behind her ears and moved slightly. At some point, he almost wanted to strip her clothes off and check her whole body to see if she had more such marks!

Green and purple, is it ambiguous?

But Lu Yun's face was calm, and he only moved his fingers, and didn't do anything more. He turned his face away in embarrassment, calming his anger and pain. He closed his eyes, and his eyelashes were long and dark, quietly covering his eyes, just like his gloomy thoughts.

When Lu Yun opened his eyes again, his emotions had been suppressed. He did not wake her up, did not question her, and did not force her to take off her clothes for inspection. He continued to change her outer clothes calmly, smoothed her long hair down, and covered the bite mark behind her ear.

…

Perhaps it was because Lu Yun was by her side. She could smell his scent every time she breathed. She felt him walking around beside her, and seemed to hear him whispering to someone outside the door. It seemed as if he came back in his clogs and sat by her bed to look at her... Lu Yun's presence made Luo Lingyu feel at ease. This time she slept for a long time. When she woke up and sat up in bed, she stared blankly at the candlelight on the table.

It turned out to be dark again.

Luo Lingyu had just woken up and had a temporary amnesia. She sat there for a long time, and only felt hungry when she smelled the fragrance of rice outside. Then she heard Lu Sanlang's cold voice, talking to his followers outside the door. He seemed to be in a bad mood, suppressing his anger, and coldly said something like "kill them" and "don't let any of them go".

Luo Lingyu blinked, holding onto the bed and groping for her clogs on the floor, trying to get out of bed. She asked tentatively, "Brother Xuechen?"

The sound outside the house suddenly stopped.

When Lu Yun spoke to her, he changed his tone and said gently: "Are you awake? I'll go get you a bowl of porridge. The conditions are not good, so please bear with it for a while."

Luo Lingyu agreed. As Lu Yun walked away, she got out of bed and walked around the room. The furniture was simple, but there was a bunch of flowers in the window, which could barely serve as a girl's resting room. Luo Lingyu judged the current situation. She went to the table, picked up the bronze mirror on the dressing table, and carefully examined her face.

She never forgets to ignore her own beauty.

She was afraid that her makeup wasn’t right and she looked haggard, which would offend Lu Yun’s eyes.

When Lu Yun pushed the door open, he saw her looking around with her long hair lifted. The dim bronze mirror shone behind her ears, and she was about to see... Lu Yun interrupted her: "It's late at night, no one is watching you. You are staring at your face every moment, and there is no makeup here, who are you dressing up for?"

Luo Lingyu blushed at what he said and put down the mirror awkwardly. She herself did not see the kiss mark behind her ear.

When she woke up and saw Lu Yun, he was still as handsome as ever, which made her feel excited but also inferior. She felt even more uncomfortable when she thought about the situation when she was rescued by Lu Yun. Those men surrounded her, and she seduced that officer... Could it be that Lu Yun saw all of this?

Will he be disgusted?

Lu Yun raised his eyes and motioned her to come over for porridge. He seemed a little absent-minded, thinking about something. Luo Lingyu hesitated for a moment, then slowly moved over and sat down. She bit her lip, and when she came to her senses, she had to think about how to tell Lu Yun what she was doing before. How did she leave Nanyang, what did she and Fan Lang do along the way... Those were the unpleasant things that the woman didn't want to mention.
