The boat was very humid, and the leader was Bo Chi's immediate superior. Even if she was heartless, she couldn't just watch him sleep on the ground.
She pondered for a moment, and finally decided to sleep in the same bed with the leader, placing a pillow in the middle as a partition.
Yu Zhao was a little surprised by her idea and laughed softly, "Aren't you afraid that I will flirt with you while you are asleep?"
Bo Chi said indifferently: "You didn't touch me the day I was poisoned by the heat. This shows that you are a good person with a righteous character. If that's the case, what should I be afraid of?"
Yu Zhao touched his mask with doubt in his life. After confirming that he was a vicious and cruel leader of a demon sect, he sighed helplessly: "Luckily you met me. If it was any other bad man, you would have been deceived to the point of being left with nothing."
"What?" Bo Chi was making the bed with a grunt and didn't hear what she said clearly.
Yu Zhao shook his head and stepped forward to help: "Nothing, go wash up, let me do this."
As the night deepens, the sky is filled with stars like broken diamonds.
The lights in the house went out, and the girl's breathing became longer and longer.
Yu Zhao turned his body slightly, casually threw the pillow between them aside, raised his hands to hold the girl's slender waist, and held Bo Chi in his arms.
Bo Chi was already fast asleep. He rubbed her habitually and then snuggled up to her and continued to sleep.
A night passed, the sun rose and the stars set.
The thick black eyelashes of Bo Chi trembled slightly, and he opened his eyes sleepily. When he smelled the familiar fragrance of lotus, he subconsciously said, "A Zhao?"
Yu Zhao woke up earlier than her, but pretended to be still asleep. Suddenly he heard her calling him and almost opened his mouth to respond.
Fortunately, she reacted in time and continued pretending to sleep without saying a word.
Bo Chi rubbed her eyes and woke up a little late. When she saw the leader standing in front of her, she immediately stepped back, suppressing her fear and only letting out a small cry.
This shout made Yu Zhao's heart surge, and he could hardly control himself.
Bo Chi was frightened and lowered his head first, looking at his body stealthily. Seeing that nothing happened last night and that the two of them had just rolled together unknowingly, he relaxed his mind and became curious about other things.
For example...why do some people sleep without taking off their masks?
Bo Chi had always been curious about the leader's appearance. Seeing this was an opportunity, he could not suppress his curiosity. He moved closer, raised his hand, and gently placed it on Yu Zhao's mask.
The next moment, a hand tightly clasped her waist and held her in his arms.
Bo Chi was startled and hurriedly pushed him away, saying, "Master!"
Yu Zhao restrained her with one hand, narrowed his eyes and curled his lips.
If a little white rabbit comes to your door, you would be in trouble if you don’t embrace it.
She didn't respond for a long time, and Bo Chi thought she was still asleep, so he began to twist his waist to try to save himself.
Yu Zhao was aroused by her, so he turned over and pressed her under him, pinching her waist with his fingers lightly, and said in a hoarse voice, "Don't move."
Bo Chi calmed down and whispered, "Master? Are you awake?"
Yu Zhao said nothing, just hugged her contentedly.
Bo Chi had a sad face and dared not move anymore. He was just like a pillow with no hope in life.
Only when he heard the sounds of people walking and shouting outside did Yu Zhao let go of Bo Chi and separated from him. He leisurely combed his long hair with his hands and said, "Your sleeping posture is really bad. You had to squeeze into my arms at night and I couldn't push you away."
Bo Chi: “???”
No one had ever told her about this!
So it was she who took the initiative to hug the leader last night? ?
Bo Chi was shocked. He paused after a long while of questioning and laughed dryly, "Is that so... Well, the boatman just called for dinner. Let's get up and have breakfast first."
Yu Zhao's smile deepened, and he couldn't help but raise his hand to ruffle her black hair, saying lovingly: "The Saint is so cute."
Bo Chi was confused: "Ah?"
Smart people probably like to say half and hide the other half. Even after breakfast, Bo Chi still didn't understand what Yu Zhao meant by suddenly praising him. She has always been a carefree person, so when she couldn't figure it out, she just put it out of her mind and started running around looking for the boatman.
The man who attacked last night is dead, but his body is still in the leader's room. If Bo Chi doesn't find someone to clean it up, he will have to sleep with the leader tonight.
Although the leader's embrace was sweet and soft, always making her think of Yu Zhao, Bo Chi did not have such strange interests as playing as a substitute, and repeatedly asked the boatman to deal with it as soon as possible.
As they were both people from the underworld, the boatman had seen all kinds of dirty things. He didn't wonder why the man died in someone else's room. He just looked at Bo Chi for a few seconds. He must have been surprised that she looked like a weak and pretty girl, but was so cruel and ruthless.
Seeing that the boatman nodded and agreed to clean up in the morning, Bo Chi went to the deck with peace of mind.
The breeze blew through her long hair, and the clear lake water rippled as the boat moved forward. Yesterday, there were still many people standing by, watching her openly and secretly, but today they all seemed to know what happened last night, so that except for a few people scattered on the deck admiring the scenery, no one else paid attention to them.
Bo Chi walked briskly to the leader's side, chattering about what she had already told the boatman. Yu Zhao listened with a smile, but he was not depressed. He just thought to himself that the girl was like a lark, with a clear and pleasant voice, and whatever she said sounded good.
The ship drifted downstream for nearly a month and finally stopped at Jiangnan Pier.
Bo Chi was interested in the waterway at first, but after admiring it for so long, he was already bored of it. As soon as he got ashore, he immediately bought some sweet snacks from a nearby stall and happily handed them to Yu Zhao who was not in a hurry.
Yu Zhao was wearing a mask, so she naturally couldn't eat. However, she was very pleased with the girl's innocent act of sharing, so she picked out a few pieces of cakes, wrapped them in oil paper, and carefully hid them in her sleeves.
Bo Chi paid no attention to her actions. He ate the sweet and crispy candied haws while pulling at her skirt, and said excitedly incoherently, "Over there, over there, let's go over there to watch the acrobatics!"
Yu Zhao calmly covered the back of her hand, his fingers gently caressing the girl's soft skin. Seeing that Bo Chi did not react and was focused on the excitement not far away, he hooked his lips and led her into the bustling market.
Yu Zhao's purpose this time is to erase the status of 'the only daughter of the Yu family' in Bo Chi's heart and try his best to make Bo Chi like her as she is now. So she was not in a hurry at all, and played happily with Bo Chi all day long. When they returned to the courtyard where they had been settled in earlier years at night, Bo Chi was so sleepy that he yawned and climbed into bed to rest in a daze.
Yu Zhao went back to her room alone, opened an empty box, and put away the little gadgets that Bo Chi had given her today one by one. Obviously, they were all cheap things, not as valuable as the rosewood box in her hand, but Yu Zhao didn't care at all and even locked it.
On the second day, Yu Zhao wanted to take Bo Chi out to play, but Bo Chi shook his head and said seriously, "No, I just arrived yesterday and I couldn't help running around to relieve my boredom on the boat. Now that we've had enough fun and noise, it's time to get down to business!"
Yu Zhao's eyes were filled with doubt: "Business?"
Is there anything more important than improving the relationship between her and her little witch?
She thought of it as a matter of course, and Bo Chi couldn't help but hold his forehead to remind her: "To catch the flower thief, isn't that the purpose of our coming to Jiangnan?"
Yu Zhao: “…”
Tsk, I almost forgot I had found this excuse.
Bo Chi was very responsible. When he saw her thinking about this, he immediately rubbed his hands and said, "I hate hooligans who flirt with girls the most. Where is that flower thief? I'll kick him in the ass!"
Yu Zhao: "According to the intelligence from the outer hall, this person has already set his sights on the youngest daughter of the Jiangnan Zhao family, and will probably take action on the Spring Festival in three days."
Bo Chi muttered to himself twice, wrote it down, and nodded: "So shall we go to the Zhao family now? And then shall we follow the clues or wait and see?
Yu Zhao's eyes flickered, but he didn't answer. Instead, he asked abruptly, "After killing that flower-stealing thief, are you going back to Jingzhou?"
"Yes." Bo Chi thought: "The mission is completed, why are you still staying in Jiangnan?"
The most important thing is that Yu Zhao is still waiting for her in Jingzhou.
The other party is now a weak and delicate lady from a wealthy family who needs to listen to her parents. What if she stays in Jiangnan for too long and marries Ling Zheng according to the plot?
Bo Chi glanced at the leader. Although she couldn't tell anything from the mask, she inexplicably felt that the other party seemed a little unhappy.
After thinking for a while, Bo Chi said sympathetically: "If the leader has something personal to do, I can go back alone."
"...No." Yu Zhao was silent for a long time, then he slowly covered his heart and said in a low voice: "I don't have any private matters, but... my old illness suddenly relapsed, and I need to recuperate before the Spring Festival."
Bo Chi was stunned: "An old illness recurred? But you, you were still carrying a bunch of things and following me through the streets yesterday, weren't you?"
Yu Zhao remained calm: "Yes, there are too many things, and today I can't bear it any more."
Bo Chi had been deceived by her so many times that he finally began to doubt: "How could this be such a coincidence? Master, are you lying to me?"
Yu Zhao was amused by her suspicious look. His narrow eyes curved slightly and he asked innocently, "Why would I lie to you?"
"Because, because..." Bo Chi couldn't figure out why and was stuck.
Yu Zhao curled his lips quietly.
Bo Chi didn't understand her feelings, so he naturally didn't know that she was being so roundabout just because she wanted to spend the Spring Festival with him.
Yu Zhao's excuses were so many that Bo Chi couldn't even tell the truth from the false. He could only choose to believe them and said listlessly, "Okay, then, Master, you take a good rest. I will take my leave first."
"Wait." Yu Zhao grabbed her hand and frowned, "My old injury has relapsed, why don't you stay with me?"
Bo Chi was confused: "Why should I stay? I'm not a doctor."
Yu Zhao was choked by her lack of understanding. After taking a deep breath, he said firmly, "Just stay by my side and don't go anywhere!"
Bo Chi puffed up his face and said aggrievedly: "That's so boring."
Yu Zhao pondered for a moment, and suddenly remembered that when she was in the Yu Mansion, whenever she was painting or reading, Bo Chi would stay by her side obediently, with his beautiful eyes full of light, staring at her without blinking.
Yu Zhao had an idea. He took Bo Chi and sat down at the table. He found a book of poetry and said with a smile, "It's okay. If you are bored, I can read to you."
Bo Chi: “…”
Yu Zhao: "There is a beautiful woman, I will never forget her after seeing her, if I don't see her for a day, I will miss her like crazy..."
A low, hoarse voice sounded leisurely in the room, with a hint of tenderness in it.
While thinking about Bo Chi's every move and smile in his mind, Yu Zhao concealed all his love in the poems, expressing his love to the other party in the most low-key way.
She expected that Bo Chi would not pay attention to these words, and also expected that Bo Chi would pretend not to understand and change the subject to avoid her confession.
But I didn't expect that after Rourou finished reading a poem...
Bo Chi: "Zzzzz..."
