Chapter 155 The night before the separation
Jiang Ning and Liu Ming'an went to Junyue Restaurant.
One of them was going to Qushui City, and the other was going to the Royal Academy, so they had to say hello to Zhou Yi.
When they arrived at Junyue Restaurant, the waiter came up to greet them warmly: "Mr. Liu, are you here to see the young master? Please wait, I will go and call him right away!"
After waiting for a while, Zhou Yi ran down from upstairs, greeted the two with a smile, and took them to the private room upstairs to talk as usual.
"Brother Zhou, I'm here to say goodbye to you." Jiang Ning said this after sitting down.
"Ah?" Zhou Yi was pouring water from the teapot. His hands trembled when he heard the words, and some water spilled: "Where are you going? Aren't you going to take an exam?"
"Not us, but me. I'm going to Qushui City to take care of some personal matters." Jiang Ning didn't want to say more about Lan Xu.
Zhou Yi nodded, and when he heard the word "private matter", he stopped asking, and only asked with concern: "Sister-in-law, are you going alone? Where is Brother Liu?"
Liu Ming'an heard the question and replied: "Brother Zhou, I am going to the Royal Academy for further studies. I will not be in the courtyard of Wandong Road every time in the future. I came to tell you specially, so that you will not come to me to catch nothing later."
Zhou Yi's first reaction was that there was no one to accompany him fishing, and then he thought of another thing: "Sister-in-law, can you go to such a far place alone? Do you want me to rent a carriage for you? And hire two guards?"
Jiang Ning shook her head and replied with a smile: "Brother Zhou, thank you for your kindness. Don't worry, everything has been arranged. I will take care of myself."
Seeing that Zhou Yi wanted to say something, Liu Ming'an said: "Brother Zhou, don't worry, An Ning knows her limits."
"Okay, since you two have said so, then you should be careful about everything, sister-in-law!"
Zhou Yi knew that these two people were opinionated, so he didn't say anything more. He just kept the two of them to have dinner together as a snack.
When Liu Ming'an and Jiang Ning returned to the courtyard after dinner, it was already dark, and a crescent moon hung in the dark sky.
After washing up, Liu Ming'an helped Jiang Ning pack her bag and put it on the table, then looked at her and smiled: "A Ning, now I really have to teach you how to comb your hair."
"Okay, teach me the simplest one." Jiang Ning responded.
Liu Ming'an took her to sit in front of the mirror, pulled Jiang Ning's hair apart, and patiently explained and demonstrated bit by bit.
It was not until then that Jiang Ning realized that tying up her hair was actually a very simple thing, but before that, Liu Ming'an had always been by her side, and she was used to being lazy.
"I got it." Jiang Ning said after trying it twice.
"A Ning is really smart!"
Liu Ming'an praised sincerely, lowered his head and kissed Jiang Ning's face.
The doting praise, the gentle kiss, the dim candlelight, the affectionate eyes, at this moment, all of this formed an airtight net. Jiang Ning was willing to be captured, hugged Liu Ming'an's neck, and kissed him regardless of everything.
The faint sadness of parting flowed quietly in the hearts of the two. When their lips and tongues were entangled, some emotions were difficult to suppress. They fell on the bed without knowing when, and most of their clothes had been taken off.
"An Ning, you are still by my side, but I have already started to miss you."
"Then remember me well tonight..."
At that time, the battle was in full swing, and the soldiers were at the gates of the city, but one side wanted to retreat without fighting.
"An Ning, no, you have to hurry tomorrow, go to bed early!" A low and hoarse voice sounded, and desire was restrained by reason.
Jiang Ning opened her eyes in a daze, her lust was aroused, how could she hear these words?
Besides, even if she indulged herself too much, what physical discomfort could not be solved by a sip of spiritual spring water?
A pair of jade arms restrained Liu Mingan who was about to retreat. The beauty's eyes were charming and her breath was sweet, but she threatened him in an inappropriate way: "Liu Mingan, if you dare to stop at this time, you will forget about your life!"
The army that wanted to retreat could not stand the provocation of the other side, so they regrouped and led the army to meet the enemy.
The two armies fought, one side was full of murderous aura, while the other side was timid and always wanted to stop at a certain point, which made it difficult for people to fight to their heart's content.
Jiang Ning used the same trick again, stretched out her hands to hug the person on her body, and said boldly without any shame: "Liu Ming'an, you can be a little rough, like last time..."
The army that broke the city paused, and when they were hesitant and hesitant, they whispered softly:
"Husband..."
"Husband~"
"Husband~"
In an instant, the fighting spirit was surging, and the momentum was unstoppable. The army defending the city was defeated and retreated step by step, and they had no strength to fight.
The army defending the city threw away their armor and regretted that they should not have provoked them, but it was too late. The enemy's fighting spirit had already risen, and they could not be stopped without a massacre.
When attacking a city, there is no mercy.
At some point, the arrows rained down, and the defenders fled, but they had no way to avoid it. They could only watch themselves fall. There was nothing they could do.
This exciting battle lasted until midnight, when the troops were called back.
The curtains swayed slightly, and the scene was vivid.
Liu Mingan looked at the weak and powerless Jiang Ning, and sighed helplessly: "A Ning, you really... shouldn't seduce me like this..."
Jiang Ning was exhausted, but full of joy, and whispered softly: "I want it!"
"Be good, go to sleep..."
The stars and the moon outside the house gradually sank to the west, and day and night alternated unconsciously.
The carriage Liu Ming'an found was for buying medicinal herbs in Qushui City. He also wanted to earn some money by helping people on the way. He was charged half a tael of silver for the two-day journey.
The carriage was to leave early in the morning. Liu Ming'an carried the packed bag and sent Jiang Ning to the outside of the city gate. The carriage had already stopped there.
The people driving the horse were a middle-aged couple. They were honest people. When they heard that the young couple was only going alone, they immediately wanted to refund half of the fare.
Liu Ming'an stopped the man's hand that was about to give him the money, and only smiled gently and begged: "I hope Brother Li and Sister-in-law Li can take good care of my wife along the way."
"Oh, of course! Don't worry, Master Liu!" Seeing that he could not persuade Liu Ming'an, Li Yuan had to take the money, return to the carriage, and wait quietly with his wife to say goodbye to the young couple.
It should have been a farewell of deep feelings, but with people coming and going around them, Liu Mingan and Jiang Ning looked at each other and smiled.
"You have to eat well, okay?" This was what Jiang Ning was most worried about.
"Okay," Liu Ming'an replied, reaching out to pick up a strand of hair from her forehead and put it on her face: "I'll wait for you to come back."
The rest of the words had been said last night in the heat of passion. The two smiled at each other, and everything was said without words.
The wheels rolled forward, raising a circle of dust. Liu Ming'an stood there until the carriage went farther and farther away, shrinking into a small black dot in his sight and then disappearing. Only then did he turn around and return to the house on Wandong Road alone.
