The candlelight flickers.
On the bed, the figures of a man and a woman were pressed tightly together.
It was like the first snow hitting the irises, stirring up the fresh and rich floral scent. All Xiao Chenyan could see was the beauty of the lips.
Every muscle in his body was tense, like a bowstring ready to be released. Her breath was like a woven net, overwhelming him and tightly grasping his heart.
Her lips were only an inch away from touching his, but she stopped firmly.
Although they were not touching, he could clearly feel the invasion of her scent, like a hook tempting him to go deeper. This distance of only a thin line made it even more difficult to give up.
Xiao Chenyan clearly felt that as her breath entered, the evil energy in his body seemed to be guided along his throat and was sucked away by her bit by bit.
His tense muscles gradually relaxed and he looked at her with complicated eyes.
She squinted her beautiful eyes, the upturned curve at the corners of her eyes like a sated cat, and her half-closed pupils were extremely dark, like an unfathomable abyss.
At this moment, she did not look like a human being at all, but instead exuded a strange sense of guilt. Her eyes were filled with greed, hunger, cruelty, violence, and a kind of indifference.
Extremely dangerous, yet extremely tempting.
It seemed that in this glimpse, Xiao Chenyan saw a dark soul, standing in the boundless darkness, looking at the world with indifference.
As the evil energy in his body gradually decreased, his original body temperature reversed and the heat began to stir inside the man's body.
He saw her close her eyes, her pupils closed, as if she was recalling something, and at the moment she closed her eyes, some of her humanity returned.
Her body suddenly softened and she fell into his arms, her red lips unconsciously pressed against his ear, breathing softly.
The slight moan caused a shiver on the back of his neck and ears.
Xiao Chenyan's eyes were dark and his voice was hoarse: "What's wrong with you?"
"I can hold on..." Qing Wu hummed softly, and the upturned ending sound was like a hook, as if the ghost nature released just now was still there, and she unconsciously brought a teasing tone: "Xiao Chenyan, do you know that you are really attractive."
The man's hand suddenly clenched. Qing Wu groaned and chuckled: "You want to repay kindness with enmity again?"
Her hands loosened, and the next moment her jaw was pinched. Qing Wu lazily raised her eyes and looked at the pair of auspicious phoenix eyes so close to her.
"Have you forgotten that I am a human being and a man?"
Qing Wu seemed to come back to her senses gradually, and her eyes regained some focus.
Xiao Chenyan looked at her eyes gradually widening, feeling confused in his heart. He really had predicted it right.
She acted casually in front of him, and she really didn't treat him as a man. No, maybe she didn't even treat him as a human being.
"Yeah, you're a human being, and that's the trouble with being a human being. There are so many rules and concerns."
Qing Wu muttered to herself, propped herself up limply, and slid towards him.
The energy that was pressing on him disappeared, and his arms felt empty. Xiao Chenyan couldn't help but frown, and looked at the girl beside him, and saw that she had an expression of indigestion on her face.
"You absorbed the evil spirit for me?"
Qing Wu raised her eyes and said playfully, "You won't say I sucked your Yang Qi this time?"
Xiao Chenyan looked at her for a long time: "Thank you."
Qing Wu snorted without comment and closed her eyes. "It's mutually beneficial. It's also good for me to absorb the evil spirit from you."
"You don't look like you got any benefit."
Qing Wu frowned and said, "I ate a whole pot of pork elbows in one go. Would you be sick of it?"
Xiao·Pig Elbow·Chen Inkstone: "..." The metaphor is very good, don't use it next time.
"Okay, let's go to sleep." Qing Wu turned over and the man's eyes fell on the back of her head.
"With that lackey ginseng soaking water for you, the evil spirit in your body can be alleviated, but there is no guarantee. This time I absorbed all the evil spirit for you in one breath, and combined with the little ginseng, you will be healthy for at least three months."
Xiao Chenyan frowned: "Aren't you only going to be away for a few days?"
Qing Wu waved her hand: "It's just in case. Oh, you have so many questions..."
She pulled the quilt over her head, and her difficult temper came back.
Xiao Chenyan looked at her quietly, and after a while he looked away. He lay beside her, his eyes dark and unfathomable.
He thought a lot.
From the first time they met when she married into the palace, to the tentative time they shared the same bed on their wedding night.
After that night, the evil spirit in his body was relieved a lot. And after that night, the corner of her mouth was broken the next day...
The answer was right in front of him. She had been helping him from the beginning.
Why?
Why help him?
Who is the soul inside this body of hers?
Xiao Chenyan subconsciously stretched out his hand, but when he came to his senses, his hand was about to touch her hair. His fingers curled slightly, and Xiao Chenyan withdrew his hand in time.
Without the torture of the evil spirit, his body felt relaxed and comfortable like never before. He should have had a good night's sleep, but he found it difficult to fall asleep.
There was a huge force hitting his waist.
Bang!
The moment the man rolled off the bed, he propped himself up on the footstool with his big hands and half-knelt beside the bed, looking in disbelief at the little feet that were sticking out of the quilt, hanging over the edge of the bed, and swaying.
It was this foot that kicked him down.
The sleeping posture is like a big overbearing character, and the posture is too "beautiful"!
Xiao Chenyan: "..."
In the darkness, a man's low, muffled laughter was heard from inside the house.
He finally understood how he was kicked off the bed last time.
“You are amazing.”
The man stared at her and murmured.
After pulling the quilt up to cover her outstretched feet, Xiao Chenyan took another thin blanket and lay down on his side on the chaise longue beside him.
The next day.
Qing Wu didn't get up too early. After having breakfast and lunch, she asked Hong Rui to prepare the horse.
Hongrui seemed to be hesitant to speak, but her actions were very quick. In addition to the horses, she also prepared a lot of pastries.
Qing Wu couldn't help but praise Hong Rui a few more times, saying that she was really thoughtful when it came to doing things.
"I'm going out alone, so don't follow me."
Qing Wuqi arrived at the door and saw Hongrui and Luqiao still following them. The two girls looked embarrassed.
Qing Wu raised her eyebrows, and then saw Xiao Chenyan coming over from the other side.
When she woke up, Xiao Chenyan was gone, so they had no chance to talk.
Then, she saw the large and small bags in the hands of Li Sui and others, and... the carriage parked in front of the mansion gate.
She suddenly felt strange. Seeing Xiao Chenyan getting on the carriage, she asked, "Are you going on a long journey?"
"It's not a long journey." The man said, and got into the carriage.
Hong Rui and Lu Qiao then whispered, "The prince gave instructions early in the morning, saying that we should go to Chuyun Temple."
Qing Wu: “…”
At this time, Li Sui led a horse over. Seeing this, Qing Wu curled her lips.
Xiao Yantai, you did this on purpose, didn't you?
Qing Wu snorted, walked forward to take the reins, turned over, and kicked the horse's belly to pull it up.
"Uh... this is..." The man looked confused. This is my horse, why is this weirdo riding his horse?
Inside the carriage, Xiao Chenyan didn't wait for Qingwu to come up, he just opened the curtain and saw a horse galloping away.
His eyes met that of the young man.
Xiao Sui quickly explained: "Your Majesty, I didn't say anything. She was the one who stole the horse and ran away."
Xiao Chenyan: "..."
He lowered the curtain with a headache and laughed out loud.
In the past, she would come up on her own initiative without him asking, a lazy bum who would rather lie down than sit. Why did she misunderstand him this time?
And then he ran away on his horse in anger?
Xiao Chenyan rubbed his eyebrows and sighed.
"Ghost temper."
