As soon as they got back to their room, they couldn't wait to lean against the door and kiss.
Qin Zheng kissed her while tearing at her clothes.
"Brother Zheng, Brother Zheng..." Zhang Yun's voice changed as he was kissed and touched her, becoming incredibly alluring.
Qin Zheng held him as they lay down on the bed, kissing him and pressing his body close to his, but this did little to alleviate the pain.
He harbored a hungry and thirsty beast within him; when it was starving, it craved meat.
"Ah-Yun, Ah-Yun!" Qin Zheng kissed his ear urgently and yearningly, "I want..."
Zhang Yun's heart melted at his call, and she suppressed her embarrassment, saying, "Then come on..."
Qin Zheng froze, his voice trembling, "What did you say?"
Zhang Yun turned her head away, burying her face in the pillow and refusing to look at him. "It means exactly what you think."
Anyway, they're both adults now.
Qin Zheng's hands were trembling with excitement, but he still cautiously asked, "Is it really okay?"
Zhang Yun suddenly got annoyed by his questions, "Why are you talking so much nonsense? Two grown men acting all fussy. If you're thinking about you, then just wait patiently..."
Qin Zheng kissed him.
Zhang Yun felt like her brain had turned into a complete mess.
...
The next morning, Zhang Yun was awakened by the chirping of birds outside.
"Hmm..." Before I even opened my eyes, the uncomfortable feeling in my waist had already reached my brain.
Zhang Yun lay on the bed for a while before her thoughts returned.
They were together last night.
Qin Zheng truly lives up to his role as the male lead!
It was really exhilarating, but it was also really tiring.
Thinking about this, Zhang Yun couldn't help but feel that he had suffered a huge loss.
In his previous life, he lived cautiously for over twenty years in pursuit of success, yet he remained a bachelor until his death.
Fortunately, the system selected me to do the task, which fulfilled my wish from my previous life.
Just as I was lying on the bed, lost in thought, the curtains outside were lifted.
Qin Zheng's handsome face appeared before him, and he smiled the moment he saw that he was awake. "A-Yun, you're awake?"
"Hmm." Zhang Yun glanced at him and extended her hand to him.
Qin Zheng quickly bent down and grasped his hand, her eyes filled with affection, just like Ziwei looking at Erkang.
"Go get me some food!"
Zhang Yun withdrew his hand, interrupting the cheesy atmosphere.
Upon hearing this, Qin Zheng quickly got up and set the food, which was already kept warm in a food container, on the table outside.
He poured another glass of his favorite plain water and placed it on the small table on the bed, then brought it over.
With Qin Zheng's help, Zhang Yun turned over, sat on the bed, drank some warm water, and then began to eat.
He was so hungry that he ate very quickly and almost choked. Qin Zheng fed him water and helped him catch his breath.
Zhang Yun drank a large bowl of water and swallowed the food in his mouth.
My stomach was already seven or eight tenths full, so I lost my appetite and asked Qin Zheng to remove the table.
After eating, Zhang Yun felt much stronger again and asked, "What time is it now?"
It's past 1:00 PM.
“It’s already afternoon!” Zhang Yun thought about it and realized that it made sense. They had been up until almost dawn last night, so it was normal for them to be asleep by now.
Zhang Yun got up and tried to get out of bed, but Qin Zheng came over to help him. "If you're not feeling well, rest for another day. I've already spoken to the owner of the estate."
"I'm fine."
Zhang Yun waved his hand, "Let's hurry to the county town to find someone to send a message home, so that Mother and my sisters won't worry."
Qin Zheng's gaze darkened slightly. "Okay."
Zhang Yun was preoccupied with contacting her family and didn't notice Qin Zheng's unusual behavior.
He changed into the clean clothes that Qin Zheng had bought from the owner of the estate.
Qin Zheng packed his things, bought some dry food and water from the estate manager, and then took his leave.
The two rode together on one horse, heading towards a nearby town with a post station.
Zhang Yun sat behind Qin Zheng, hugging his waist.
I was so tired that I fell asleep leaning against his back without realizing it.
Qin Zheng slowed down the horse's speed, and Zhang Yun didn't wake up until it was almost dark.
Where are we?
Zhang Yun raised his head, glanced around in a daze, and found that he was still surrounded by desolate wilderness.
"Didn't you say Ziyan City was nearby? We haven't arrived yet?" Zhang Yun asked, yawning.
Qin Zheng said in a low voice, "A-Yun, I'm lost."
Zhang Yun was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter, "You can actually get lost!"
Qin Zheng asked, "A-Yun, are you angry with me?"
"What's there to be angry about? Everyone gets lost at some point. Didn't we get lost the first time we took you out of the manor?"
Zhang Yun looked around and said, "It's getting dark, let's find a place to stay."
Qin Zheng gave a soft "hmm," then spurred the horse's flanks, making it run.
A short while later, a small temple came into view.
The temple wasn't very dilapidated, but it was empty, and a layer of dust had accumulated on the altar, suggesting it had only recently been abandoned.
Qin Zheng used a half-broken broom from the corner to clean the place, then brought over some hay to line the ground, and then spread his cloak on top of the hay.
Zhang Yun started a fire nearby and took out some dry food, sticking it on wooden sticks to roast.
After Qin Zheng made up the bed, the two sat by the fire, ate their dry rations, and then lay down.
They had just done something extraordinary last night, and neither of them mentioned it all day.
But at this moment, certain things naturally came together.
"Ah Yun..." Qin Zheng hugged his waist and pressed himself close to him.
"Hmm?" Zhang Yun's heart began to race as he held her, and her eyes began to glaze over.
"I miss...you." Qin Zheng kissed his ear, his breath heavy.
Zhang Yun turned her head and kissed his lips. "Come here."
Qin Zheng rolled over while holding him.
...
Although Qin Zheng was still not satisfied, seeing that Zhang Yun was already tired, he did not go any further.
Zhang Yun nestled in his arms, playing with a strand of his hair, then suddenly sat up and gave him a quick kiss on the lips.
"You're really amazing."
"..."
The fire in Qin Zheng's eyes flared up again.
...
It was already past midnight.
Qin Zheng pushed aside his dirty cloak, put Zhang Yun's cloak underneath him, and held him as they fell asleep.
The next morning, Qin Zheng woke up early, found a pot in the dilapidated temple, cleaned it, and cooked a pot of porridge with the dry food he had brought with him.
When Zhang Yun woke up, the porridge was cooked just right.
Perhaps he caught a chill while sleeping in the dilapidated temple last night, because Zhang Yun woke up with a slight fever.
After having breakfast, Qin Zheng used the sun to orient himself and arrived at the nearby town of Luming. He found a doctor, got some medicine, and rented a house near the clinic to live in.
In ancient times, even a cold was considered a serious illness. In addition, Luming Town was a small place with limited medical expertise and a lack of many precious medicinal herbs.
Zhang Yun could only slowly recover from his illness, and this recovery took more than a month.
It's also Zhang Yun's fault. Having lived for so long and just now experiencing pleasure, he couldn't control himself at all. As soon as he felt a little better, he started flirting with Qin Zheng.
Qin Zheng was no match for his methods and was successfully tricked by him.
The next day, after discovering that Zhang Yun's fever had recurred and wouldn't subside, Qin Zheng was so angry that he secretly cried. After that, no matter how Zhang Yun tried to lure him, he refused to take the bait.
They were delayed in Luming Town for nearly two months, and they didn't even have time to go back for the Mid-Autumn Festival.
So the two decided to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival here before going back.
On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, as night fell, a full moon hung high in the sky.
The town of Luming opened its night market, and Zhang Yun and Qin Zheng walked side by side on the bustling street, enjoying the festive atmosphere.
After walking for a while, Zhang Yun and Qin Zheng sat down at a teahouse by the roadside, ordered a pot of tea to rest, and watched the street performers while drinking tea.
Suddenly, someone at the next table said, "The world is getting more and more chaotic. A few days ago, the bandits in the Jincheng area of Hezhou rebelled again..."
"Another rebellion? Last year, the refugees in the Luocheng area rebelled. That tyrant, Ba Hu Dao Yan Liu, called himself the Heavenly Tiger Army and even conquered the entire Luocheng area. There were over a hundred thousand people involved in that massive uprising. I wonder what happened to them now?"
"The Tianhu Army is long gone. Just four months ago, the imperial court led troops to wipe them out. More than 100,000 of them died, and only a few thousand survivors escaped into the mountains."
"Sigh... I wonder when this will ever end..."
After talking about the chaotic world outside for a while, the two changed the subject and talked about other things.
Zhang Yun also turned her attention back to Qin Zheng beside her. Seeing that he looked unhappy, she couldn't help but nudge him with her elbow.
"Are you still angry? It's just a handkerchief you received from a girl! Besides, that girl's eyes were practically glued to you; she clearly liked you. I wasn't even jealous, and I generously accepted it for you..."
Seeing that someone's gaze had turned stern, Zhang Yun quickly waved his hand, "Alright, alright, let's not talk about this! Let's not talk about it!"
However, Qin Zheng was not appeased by this. He stood up from his chair, slapped some silver coins on the tea table, and left in a huff.
"Hey, wait for me!" Zhang Yun quickly caught up.
They followed Qin Zheng all the way to the nearby crescent-shaped pedestrian bridge.
As soon as Zhang Yun reached the bottom of the bridge, someone hidden in the shadows of the bridge arch reached out and pulled him in, pressing him against the concave underside of the bridge, and then covered him with a warm and domineering kiss.
After giving him a firm, deep kiss, Qin Zheng released Zhang Yun's lips, cupped his cheeks in his hands, and their foreheads touched.
"Are you calm now?"
Zhang Yun's eyes were slightly moist from the kiss, and her voice was slightly hoarse.
In Qin Zheng's eyes, that face was adorable no matter what expression it made, making him unable to resist the urge to tease it, make it cry, and make that innocent little face reveal a dirty expression.
Qin Zheng held him in his arms and whispered in his ear, "A-Yun, shall we go back?"
"I haven't eaten yet!" Zhang Yun slapped his hand away and ran off laughing.
Qin Zheng sighed helplessly and followed.
The two went to the hotel to pack some food and drinks, brought them back to their temporary residence, set up a table in the courtyard, ate their reunion dinner, and then took a bath.
Zhang Yun, emboldened by alcohol, wanted to take a bath with him, but Qin Zheng, fearing he might get sick again, insisted on bathing and drying him before putting him to bed and taking a bath himself.
When Qin Zheng finished washing up and went into the room, Zhang Yun had already fallen asleep in bed, sulking.
He drank some wine with dinner tonight, and now the aftereffects are kicking in. His cheeks are flushed, making him look like a ripe fruit, even more adorable and tempting than usual.
Qin Zheng pulled the corner of the blanket that the boy was holding in his arms, opened a gap, and quickly squeezed in.
As soon as the warm, strong body approached, Zhang Yun instinctively hugged it.
Qin Zheng's breath hitched. He had already restrained himself several times today, and now, in the dead of night, being held so intimately by his beloved...
Qin Zheng drew the curtains.
A moment later, Zhang Yun's angry voice, roused from his reverie, came from inside: "Get the hell out of here!"
"Let go of me..."
"Now you know fear?"
...
It took Zhang Yun a while to recover after that.
Qin Zheng went to fetch water to wash them, and then they both fell asleep in each other's arms.
Outside, the autumn wind was biting, but inside, it was peaceful and warm.
The next morning, Qin Zheng got out of bed and boiled water to give Zhang Yun and him a bath.
After taking a bath, Zhang Yun ate the breakfast that Qin Zheng had bought, and then discussed with him when to return to the Prince's Mansion.
Qin Zheng responded with "uh-huh" sounds, seemingly somewhat absent-minded.
Just as Zhang Yun was about to ask him what was wrong, he suddenly heard a horn sound outside.
Immediately following was a series of panicked and noisy sounds.
