She treated it like a real vacation, not for any other reason than she wanted to experience the feeling of being embraced by a soft, fragrant body.
Little did they know that ten miles away from the capital, a young man's hand emitted a strange red light, and upon closer inspection, there were protrusions beneath his fair skin, restless and uneasy.
"Don't worry, I'll take you there in a bit."
The boy's expression was somewhat pained, his handsome features gazing in the direction of the capital with a look of confusion, as if he had forgotten something important or someone.
Inside the Spring Breeze Pavilion, a place that attracts countless men, Shen Muqing, dressed in a handsome manner, drew many girls to his arms.
Shen Muqing accepted all comers without hesitation, embracing one on each side, thoroughly enjoying himself.
"Young Master~"
The woman in red was alluring, her every move captivating. "Would you care to have a drink with me, young master?"
"good!"
Shen Muqing readily agreed and took out a few gold leaves from his pocket, stuffing them into the red-clad woman's hand.
She had to admit it felt really good; if she could, she'd want to be a man too.
The other woman in green, not to be outdone, snuggled into Shen Muqing's arms.
"Young master~ I also wish you would stay with me~"
That voice is so captivating that anyone who listens to it will be amazed; no wonder it's said to be the best place to relax.
"Okay, okay, let's do it together."
The woman in red was surprised that the seemingly frail man in front of her was actually playing such a big game. She exchanged a glance with the woman in green and then grabbed Shen Muqing and ran upstairs.
Inside the room, Shen Muqing lay on the chaise longue, while the woman in red reached out her small hand, seemingly trying to remove Shen Muqing's outer garment.
"Wait, I just came here to relax, you don't need to do this."
Shen Muqing knew that the men who came here were only here for one thing, but she wasn't a man; she was just there to relax.
She clutched her clothes tightly and quickly shook her head, "Just give me a back massage."
Upon hearing about this good news, Green Clothes fed Shen Muqing wine, while Red Clothes, with keen eyesight, peeled grapes and fed them to Shen Muqing.
Those who pay are treated like royalty; as long as the money is right, they'll do whatever you ask.
Feeling that the two of them were a little lonely, Shen Muqing called over the woman at the door.
"I want to listen to music and watch dance."
Having said that, he tossed a money pouch filled with gold leaves into the madam's hand. The madam caught it, her smile stretching to her ears.
"Oh, young master, we'll arrange the best girl from our Spring Breeze Pavilion for you right away."
Soon a group of beautiful young women entered the room. Half of them began to play the pipa and flute, while the rest began to dance gracefully.
Shen Muqing squinted her eyes. This was what a human life should be like. Looking at beautiful things made her feel better.
"Young master, open your mouth."
The woman in green spoke softly, holding a small wine glass in her hand, and brought it to Shen Muqing's lips, waiting for her to open her mouth.
A sip of not-too-strong liquor entered his mouth, and Shen Muqing leisurely fanned himself. The liquor was delicious, the music was beautiful, and the dance was captivating.
Whether by accident or not, Shen Muqing felt a slight coolness on her neck.
She thought the wine in the green-clad woman's hand had spilled on her neck, but Shen Muqing casually raised her hand and touched it.
But instead, I touched something hard, like some kind of animal scale, which wasn't very big.
The next second, something soft and wet licked Shen Muqing's neck.
Instantly, Shen Muqing stiffened. This was definitely not human; it looked like a snake, yes, it was a snake.
The woman in red caught a glimpse of something standing up behind Shen Muqing out of the corner of her eye. Upon closer inspection, she screamed in alarm.
"Ah! A snake!"
She reacted violently, knocking over the grapes on the table and immediately running five meters away from Shen Muqing until she reached the door.
The girls who were still playing heard about the snake and panicked, screaming as they ran out. The girl in green was no exception.
Shen Muqing was the only one left in the room. When she heard that it was a snake, she was not so afraid, perhaps because she had encountered it before.
Seeing that the group of girls had all fled in fright, she was curious to see what kind of snake could have such power.
Based on the feel of it just now, it shouldn't be a very big snake; it's quite slender.
The woman in red peeked out, trying to see what was going on with Shen Muqing inside the room, but the door suddenly slammed shut with a loud bang.
The madam, who came upon hearing the commotion, saw a large crowd gathered outside in the corridor and waved her hand.
"It's alright, girls, go down now."
The madam's face was still a little pale. She would remember what had just happened for the rest of her life. She just never thought that homosexuality really existed in this world, especially between two such handsome men.
Shen Muqing slowly turned her head in the room, her gaze moving downwards, and saw a pair of adorable snake eyes looking at her, large and very innocent.
"silver?"
Silver responded and climbed up Shen Muqing's arm, affectionately pressing against it and making a hissing sound.
Shen Muqing felt a cold sweat break out. Did the silver mean that Lan Jin was also here?
Without time to think, Shen Muqing looked around the room but didn't see anyone else. She was clearly all alone.
No, Egg said that no one in this world would remember her, so why is Silver so affectionate towards her?
Does that mean Lan Jin also remembers her?
Upon hearing this idea, Shen Muqing didn't know whether to be happy or unhappy.
If Lan Jin really has memories, wouldn't he be dead if he came knocking on my door now?
Without a second thought, Shen Muqing lifted her leg, opened the door, and tried to escape.
As soon as the door opened, Lan Jin was seen standing straight in the doorway, head down, seemingly lost in thought.
Shen Muqing was startled and took two steps back. Incredulous, it really was Lan Jin. But why did he come looking for her so quickly?
"you...."
She was so shocked she couldn't speak, and kept backing away, wishing someone would come to her rescue.
The clinking of silver ornaments signaled Lan Jin's entry, and the creaking sound indicated that the only exit had been closed, leaving only the two people and the snake in the large room.
The moment Lan Jin saw Shen Muqing, her heart began to pound violently. The bulge on her left hand was burning hot, and she felt as if it would break through her skin at any moment.
He clutched his chest; it felt so stuffy and painful there.
"Who are you?"
The suppressed voice reached Shen Muqing's ears. When she heard that Lan Jin didn't recognize her, she realized that Dandan hadn't lied to her after all.
Why does my heart beat so fast when I see you?
"And why do you know Yinzi?"
The boy exuded a cold aura, making it impossible to reconcile him with his previous gentle demeanor.
"I...I don't know, you just barged in while I was drinking."
Shen Muqing changed her voice, lowering it, and then thought that since Lan Jin didn't remember her, what was there for her to be afraid of?
He immediately retorted confidently, "I haven't even asked who you are yet. I was just enjoying my drink when your snake scared my girls away."
She waved her fan, looking quite charming.
When Lan Jin saw his appearance, she subconsciously frowned, but the love-obsessed Gu was definitely not wrong; this person had the mother Gu on him.
But how could he fall in love with a man, especially one who is both a stranger and somewhat familiar?
