Zhou Ping never expected that what Chu Changliu was hiding from him was that he would stay here to review memorials for a thousand years.
“…It’s okay if you can’t leave for the time being, I’ll stay with you,” Zhou Ping sighed softly.
"..." Chu Changliu paused for a moment, then glanced at him furtively before quickly lowering his head again.
It looks like they just had a fight.
"What are you looking at me for?" Zhou Ping noticed his gaze.
"It seems like we just had a fight..." Chu Changliu whispered.
Zhou Ping:......
Does that count as arguing?
That was clearly Chu Changliu's one-sided tantrum, wanting to run away.
"Are you going to keep arguing with me?" Zhou Ping pressed his temples, genuinely wondering what the other person was thinking.
Seeing his somewhat gloomy expression, Chu Changliu didn't dare to speak.
Suddenly it became quiet.
"Um, you came to see me. What about Qi Ye and the others...?" Chu Changliu asked, trying to find a topic to talk about.
When he heard that the first question he asked was about Lin Qiye, Zhou Ping's lips pursed into a straight line.
He took another step forward, getting even closer to Chu Changliu, and put his other arm around his waist.
Chu Changliu, who had originally wanted to retreat, was now unable to do so and was pulled into Zhou Ping's arms.
"Why are you asking him?" His voice was a little hoarse and sounded somewhat somber.
The two were now face to face, so close that even through the fabric, Chu Changliu could feel the heat of the person in front of him.
Chu Changliu lowered his gaze, remained silent for a while, and then said quite seriously, "We can't do it here."
Zhou Ping:......
How could Chu Changliu say such a thing in such a serious manner?
"I didn't mean to be here. You haven't answered my question yet." Zhou Ping was really angry, his face flushed. He pinched Chu Changliu's waist hard.
"Can't I ask? I'm trying to find something to talk to you about," Chu Changliu grunted.
He used to talk to Zhou Ping like this, so why does he suddenly not want to listen now?
Zhou Ping was somewhat annoyed. "I've been looking for you for so long, and the first thing you ask me is how Lin Qiye is?"
"Do you even see me anymore?" he said, his voice tinged with grievance, which followed by a deep sense of frustration.
Chu Changliu gasped as his soft flesh on his waist was pinched hard again. He spoke in a timid yet earnest tone, "I only have eyes for you, why are you asking me this again?"
His words made Zhou Ping's lips curl up slightly in satisfaction.
"Hmm...then I'll stay here with you for the next while." There are a lot of memorials, aren't there? Zhou Ping plans to review them together with Chu Changliu, finish the work as soon as possible, and take everyone home.
Upon hearing Zhou Ping say he wanted to stay at his place, Chu Changliu was initially delighted, but then felt a chill in his heart. He lowered his head and pondered for a while before nodding in agreement.
"Alright then, anyway, my bedroom is quite large, enough for the two of us." He reached out and pulled Zhou Ping forward with some excitement, "My bedroom is very close to Mingluan Palace, mainly because it's convenient for reviewing memorials!"
The temple was huge; Chu Changliu had spent a whole day showing Zhou Ping around, and they had only seen half of it.
“I’ll show you the other half tomorrow; it’s sunset now.” Chu Changliu’s mouth was a little dry from talking all the way. He tilted his head slightly and asked, “How is it? Is my side big enough?”
“Yes, it’s big,” Zhou Ping nodded in affirmation.
Upon arriving at the bedchamber, Zhou Ping looked at Chu Changliu lying on the bed with some confusion, "You need to sleep?"
"No need, I just feel comfortable lying down," Chu Changliu said, reaching out and pulling Zhou Ping onto the bed.
When he finally held the person in his arms, Zhou Ping's grip tightened slowly; he had been in a daze all day...
I didn’t expect to see Chu Changliu so soon; I thought it would take a lot of effort.
It felt like everything in front of me was a beautiful, unreal dream.
"By the way, do you want to soak in the hot springs?" Chu Changliu struggled to get up from Zhou Ping's arms with a somersault, and he directly tore off his belt.
Zhou Ping:...!
"Why are you taking off your pants?" When the belt was thrown at his face, Zhou Ping thought of many things, but when the words came to his lips, it seemed that only this sentence could express his bewilderment and helplessness.
"You must be very tired after your journey here," Chu Changliu said with great interest. "There's a hot spring in my palace. Would you like to take a soak?"
That's what he asked, but he immediately bent down, picked up Zhou Ping, and hurriedly ran towards the hot spring pool.
Zhou Ping reached up and tightly covered the buttons on his shirt. "Together...?"
"I can do it myself, I can do it myself!" Zhou Ping almost shouted when he realized what Chu Changliu was about to do, as the hot spring pool was already within reach.
Based on his understanding of Chu Changliu.
Thump—
As Chu Changliu jumped in, a huge splash of water shot into the sky.
Zhou Ping, who was being carried down by Chu Changliu, wiped the water off his face and opened his dark eyes to look at Chu Changliu, who was staring at him intently.
Zhou Ping's clothes were completely soaked. He glanced at Chu Changliu and said, "I knew it..."
"It's alright, I have plenty of clothes here, you can just pick a couple to wear." Chu Changliu looked at Zhou Ping for a while, and seeing him standing in the hot spring without taking off his clothes, he moved closer.
"Shall I help you?" He had already stripped off his own clothes before he jumped in.
One glance into Chu Changliu's clear, emerald-green eyes, and further down, one sees his slender neck veiled in misty light...
Zhou Ping took a step back, his Adam's apple bobbing, and closed his eyes briefly. "I can do it myself."
"Oh..." Chu Changliu took a step back and quietly washed himself.
It was rare to see him so quiet. Zhou Ping slowly exhaled and reached out to unbutton each of his buttons.
"Zhou Ping, I've been rushing to look at some memorials these past few days. When things calm down a bit, shall we go home?" Chu Changliu splashed his hands in the water a couple of times.
Before he could turn his head, a warm body pressed against him from behind. Zhou Ping turned his face and rubbed it against Chu Changliu's face. "Okay."
“By the way, I should go back to Blue Star when I have time. 019 kidnapped me there to do a mission... By the way, speaking of 019, how is it now?” Chu Changliu reached out and wrapped his arms around his neck.
"Its mission wasn't finished yet, so I handed it over to Lin Qiye," Zhou Ping said, coughing lightly twice.
"Oh...can I ask you a question?" Chu Changliu scooped up a handful of warm water and splashed it on Zhou Ping's face.
Zhou Ping glanced at him helplessly, "Go ahead and ask."
"Although I already know the answer, I still want to ask."
"do you like me?"
"I love you."
