Just as consciousness gradually became unclear.

The five senses gradually disappear.

His arms sank.

"Ah Heng, what's wrong with you?"

He saw Su Changzhao grabbing his arm and looking at him with concern.

Yu Jiuchen suddenly regained consciousness, suppressed all discomfort, and smiled, "Maybe... I overdid it last night."

His words hinted at something, which made Su Changzhao's pretty face flushed: "Say...what are you talking about!"

“…………”Liu Wu Yue naturally understood what was said, and turned away, pretending not to hear it.

After that, the three of them didn't speak to each other along the way.

Yu Jiuchen seemed very tired and soon fell asleep in the car with his eyes closed.

Su Changzhao and Liu Wu Yue were not familiar with each other, and they didn't want to disturb his rest, let alone talk to each other.

Perhaps because he was passing by a beautiful scenery, Su Changzhao couldn't help singing in his heart:

【The anxiety I can't put away】

[Spread them before you]

【I am obsessed】

[The restless heart is setting off firecrackers]

My Cupid is screaming

[The hormones burst out because of your arrival...]

Hearing the familiar music, Yu Jiuchen's eyelashes twitched slightly: "..."

He wanted to say, it’s still the same as always… a song that he can’t appreciate~

But unlike before, he now accepts it slowly, bit by bit.

He had been in a daze since last night. For example, when he woke up in the morning, he vaguely remembered that he seemed to have gotten up and gone out at night, but then... he remembered nothing.

I couldn't help feeling anxious.

But when he heard Su Changzhao singing in his heart again, he instantly felt at ease.

Before I knew it, I fell into a deep sleep.

When they woke up again, they had arrived at the border of Qing Kingdom.

If one wanted to go to Xia State, the quickest way was to go through Qing State. A lot of time had been wasted in Fenglai before, so the plan to go to Xia State via a detour had to be abandoned.

In order to reach Xia Kingdom within the deadline, they had no choice but to risk entering Qing Kingdom.

Fortunately, from the map brought by Liu Wu Yue, they found that they did not need to pass through the major cities of Qing Kingdom, but only through two small counties.

So they traveled day and night for the rest of their journey, and it only took them three days to leave Qing State.

Looking at the city gate getting farther and farther away, Su Changzhao breathed a sigh of relief.

【Fortunately, I got out safely. 】

Suddenly, the back of my hand was covered with warmth.

Yu Jiuchen was seen holding her hand, as if trying to comfort her.

[Are my concerns so obvious? ]

[It seems I have to hide deeper. I can't let Ah Heng worry, and I can't let others see it. After all, I am the Ghost King now. If I raise this big flag, people will be in chaos. ]

Since traveling through time, Su Changzhao has gradually developed the awareness of being a leader.

Suddenly.

Yu Jiuchen hugged her immediately.

"Ah Heng?"

There was warmth in my ears, "You have me. Ayao can rely on me at any time."

[5555...Is it really that obvious? ? ]

Mouth, "Yeah, OK."

But the next second.

I noticed someone's hands were kneading...

Su Changzhao grabbed the dirty hand and asked, "What are you doing?"

"As you can see...massage."

! !

Su Changzhao suppressed his anger and asked, "Who promised to restrain himself this morning?"

[Ah Heng is such a jerk. He's been making trouble for me for several nights in a row.]

[Whenever you talk about him, he will act pitiful. He even cried the night before last.]

[So I indulged him for a few days, but now he still has that thing during the day. ]

"I agreed, but A-Yao is so beautiful that I can't stop wanting her. I can never get enough."

"!!"

[It is indeed the emperor's waist and the knife that kills. 】

[I've really gotten on a pirate ship. ]

[I actually forgot that Ah Heng in the original novel had 101 adopted sons. He must have a lot of energy in that aspect.]

[No! For the sake of my life, I have to stand firm! ]

He pushed away the man's face and said, "Stop it! These words are useless to me."

"Does the Ghost King dislike Lianyu?" Yu Jiuchen's eyes suddenly flashed with pitiful eyes.

"??? What the hell are you doing?"

"Lianyu will serve the Ghost King with all her heart and soul."

"Ah, get out of here! Are you addicted to acting?" Su Changzhao was about to punch him.

However, Yu Jiuchen, who was no longer weak, wrapped his fist with his palm, and a playful look appeared on his handsome face: "It seems that the Ghost King is not a man who sympathizes with women." With a "snap", he pressed Su Changzhao against the arm of the car, and a strong and domineering feeling came over him, "Then do you like this one?"

Su Changzhao's peach-colored eyes widened and his cheeks turned red involuntarily.

Although he didn't say it, the meaning was already very clear.

Yu Jiuchen smiled, "So our Lord Ghost King likes this." As he said that, he stroked a strand of hair behind her ear, brought it to his lips, and kissed it lightly.

"Get lost," Su Changzhao pushed him away again with a red face, "I don't like being oppressed all the time."

Yu Jiuchen understood very well what Su Changzhao meant.

Having known her for so long, he was well aware of her temperament.

She is independent and opinionated. She likes people who are stronger than herself, but she doesn't want to be led by the nose and suffocated by them.

The reason why he understands her so well is because Yu Jiuchen himself is such a person.

However, in a relationship, the one who loves more is destined to give more.

He already loved Su Changzhao so much that he was willing to restrain himself.

"It doesn't matter what kind of person A-Yao likes."

He hugged the person in his arms again. He knew that because it was him, Su Changzhao let him hold him.

Who knows.

"That's what you said."

"Um."

"Then I want to be different every day. Today I'm a gentleman, tomorrow I'm a naive boy, and your green tea just now seems pretty good..."

“…………”

"Why is there no sound?"

"...Okay, whatever you say."

"Hahaha, good boy, smell good."

The two of them got together again...

.

Follow the itinerary.

They will arrive in Xia Country tomorrow.

Although we rushed to get there, we were still two days late for the scheduled time.

In order to prevent Emperor Xia from finding fault with him, Su Changzhao ordered someone to bring the news of their arrival to Emperor Xia.

Emperor Xia probably didn't blame them too much because they brought the treasure map, at least that's not clear from the reply.

On the contrary, the letter expressed Emperor Xia's warm welcome, and he also said that he would send someone to meet them.

After everything was settled, Su Changzhao led everyone to settle in a small county town.

That night.

The exhaustion from traveling for several days made everyone rest early.

When Su Changzhao came back from taking a bath, he saw Yu Jiuchen standing in front of the window in clean clothes.

It seems that he came back after washing first.

【Hehe, scare him. 】

The thought of playing a prank suddenly came to my mind, and I tiptoed over.

He just reached out to slap the other person on the back to scare him.

Unexpectedly, the person in front of her turned around quickly and grabbed her wrist.

Su Changzhao: “!!”

Yu Jiuchen stared at her.

In the brief moment of eye contact, Su Changzhao felt a sense of strangeness, and also a sense of indescribable familiarity.

Next second.

Without saying a word, he hugged her around the waist, held her face, and leaned over to kiss her.

The labellum is covered.

Su Changzhao was kissed so hard that he couldn't breathe.

She found that the other person had his eyes open, and in addition, during the past few days, every night when she was with him, she found that he seemed to be observing and admiring her.

This feeling is completely different from Ah Heng's consideration and deep love for her.

After pushing the other person away, he said, "You..."

She looked him up and down.

[It's obviously Ah Heng, why do I always feel like something is wrong? ]

The handsome man in front of him, who looked cool and elegant due to the silver light from the window, raised his lips lightly and said, "Chang Zhao, what's wrong with you?"

Still a gentle voice.

【Long move?】

Hearing this name, Su Changzhao finally discovered something.

The other party seemed to have realized his slip of the tongue, but he didn't seem to want to explain, and then said: "Or, if I call you Xiao Zhao, will you remember more?"

Su Changzhao was stunned: "What?"

[He called me 'Xiao Zhao'? That's not...]

The handsome man who heard her thoughts took out a flower from the porcelain vase in front of the windowsill and stared at the pistil with his clear eyes. Although it was cold and gentle, it gave people a sense of surprise that was more gorgeous than red flowers:

"That night... the lotus in the pond was so gorgeously red... You said you would come back, and I believed you, but in the end, my true feelings were misplaced..."
