The Huo family's disciple-recruiting banquet is scheduled for the first day of next month. These days, Xiao Yulang has been really busy like a top.
On the first day, Xiao Yulang was taken to the military camp by Huo Yi. When he was brought back, his legs were shaking, and he went out with Ye You to walk in the dark at night.
After several days, the ruthless old ghost Yeyou couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to let Wang Yulang rest for two days.
Who would have thought that this kid was so cruel to himself. He would work himself to death even if he wasn't dead. He just gritted his teeth and endured it, refusing to slack off.
Although Mu Ying felt distressed, he did not stop it.
Not to mention her as the mother, everyone else in the house felt so distressed seeing this. Hongrui and Luqiao tried every possible way to make delicious food for the little one, but their cooking skills were really not good, so they could only help Mu Ying.
But Qing Wu, the real aunt, was hard-hearted and would ask Xiao Yulang to go to Henglu Mountain to dig some mountain products from time to time.
She ate the food while the little guy worked hard to go to Henglu Mountain on horseback to dig mushrooms early in the morning. Xiao Chenyan had a day off, so he also had a meal with him.
During the meal, he mentioned something that surprised Qing Wu.
"The Princess of Anping County will marry into the Eastern Palace as a concubine on the right?"
Xiao Chenyan nodded and saw her subtle expression.
"What's wrong?"
"Madam Right Prime Minister, are you willing to let your daughter jump into the fire pit?"
"She volunteered."
Qing Wu raised her eyebrows, "She's gone crazy. She's giving up this piece of fat meat of yours that she's been coveting for so long and is eating shit instead?"
Xiao Chenyan just took a sip of the mushroom soup, paused slightly, swallowed the soup without changing his expression, and glanced at her.
Qing Wu snorted and laughed: "Don't you know that she is greedy for your body?"
Xiao Chenyan frowned, "Don't be disgusted."
He really didn't know, and even if he knew it would only affect his appetite.
Qing Wu sneered, and became more interested. She looked at him with her hand on her chin and said, "You are not young anymore, have you never thought about women?"
Xiao Chenyan felt that he couldn't enjoy this meal properly.
The servants on the side left early.
He frowned with a headache and looked at her and asked, "What do you want to ask?"
"I'm just curious." Qing Wu said innocently, "Other nobles have many wives and concubines, and they always have one or two concubines. Don't you like this girl?"
His eyes were gloomy and his tone was cold: "Is it not enough for me to have a princess?"
Qing Wu shrank her neck back and grinned in disdain, becoming less and less pretentious: "You like this? Living people can't satisfy you, so you have to find a female ghost?"
Xiao Chenyan felt like something was swelling in his chest. He knew she was picking on him, so he didn't gently brush it off like he usually did, or deliberately avoid the topic. Instead, he stared at her and said,
"With the princess here, there's no need to look for someone else. I'll move back home to sleep this night. How do you think?"
Qing Wu was hit by his boomerang, her eyes widened, "You are crazy!"
Xiao Chenyan sneered: "My love for the princess is stronger than gold, what is the princess's reaction?"
Qing Wu jumped up in fright, and looked at him as if he was possessed by a ghost.
In the past, if he could fight back, Xiao Chenyan might be happy, but now seeing her reaction, he just felt a breath of anger in his heart, and his brows furrowed.
Is she so unwilling to have anything to do with him?
"Are you scared already?" He suppressed his emotions and regained his calm look.
Seeing this, Qing Wu sat back down and glared at him angrily: "Are you tired of living? Now you've learned how to seek revenge."
In the past, she always took the initiative to attack and provoke him to retreat step by step and flee in panic.
Now Xiao Chenyan had only "fighted back" a little bit, and her method of provoking him didn't work at all. He simply threw down his weapons and immediately distanced himself from the matter.
Xiao Chenyan only felt that the depression in his heart was getting heavier, and his sense of taste seemed to be poor, and the food he put into his mouth had no taste.
"I'm done eating." He put down his bowl and chopsticks, stood up and left.
Qing Wu hadn't finished asking questions yet. Seeing him walk away with a cold face, she stood up and chased after him, "Xiao Chenyan."
The man stopped suddenly, and Qing Wu was about to hit his back, but he suddenly turned around and protected her forehead before she was about to hit his chest.
"I'm mad."
His palms were shiny, but his palms were burning hot.
He felt her body temperature under his palm, like a hook that hooked him, making him uncontrollably want to take more from her, touch more.
Almost unconsciously, he put his arms around her waist.
Qing Wu placed her hands on his chest, feeling his breath coming at her. Her heart was agitated for a moment, and she patted him on the body: "Are you doing this on purpose?"
"Yeah. Deliberately." His breath fell on her ear, a little itchy: "Only you are allowed to deliberately provoke?"
Qing Wu was stubborn and said, "Then I didn't leave in a disgrace."
Xiao Chenyan's eyes were dark. He was not leaving in disdain. He was afraid that he would lose control if he stayed any longer.
Just like now, his desires are deep and wild weeds are growing wildly underneath, disturbing his self-control. He is not a gentleman, and Xiao Chenyan can't explain what he feels towards her now.
But anyway, the intention is not clean.
Just like Qing Wu said, royal families have had concubines for a long time. Although Xiao Chenyan has always been chaste and has never been surrounded by those beautiful women, it does not mean that he is not aware of it.
He desires her.
But he didn't want to lose self-control because of this "desire". What was the difference between him and a beast?
Although she loved to tease him actively, he could see clearly that it was not that she did not understand the relationship between men and women, but that she was cold and indifferent in her nature, or in other words, she was not interested.
She had neither desire nor love for him. The so-called teasing was more like a kind of evil in the ghost's bones, just like a cat teasing a mouse, or a hunter teasing his prey.
Just playing.
A kind of cruelty that is almost innocent.
But he knew everything, and it was ridiculous that she tickled his itch, but to be honest, he let himself go because of this, which was a bit self-degrading.
Xiao Chenyan didn't want to become a beast, so he could only suppress it.
But she was always like this, and it really annoyed him.
If she saw through his "desire" for her, what would be her reaction? Would she laugh at him, despise him, or add fuel to the fire and continue teasing him playfully?
That would be fine.
Xiao Chenyan was afraid that she would avoid him like the snake and scorpion just now.
Almost unconsciously, he hugged her tighter and tighter, and for the first time, he had a stupid and despicable idea.
After the evil spirit in him was temporarily calmed down, he seemed to have no reason to get intimate with her.
"It should be so."
He suddenly called her, even though he knew it was probably a fake name.
"Hmm?" Qing Wu was puzzled, and only heard him say: "Have you ever liked anyone?"
