Chapter 91: Gan Lin for a while... Don't beg me
Zhou Linjin looked at Chen Lianxiu with a wry smile.
Chen Lianxiu didn't continue speaking as he wished. She just glanced out the window and said softly, "Let her sleep first."
It was neither too early nor too late. The weather was getting colder, and it was even colder in the mountains. An An didn't object to going to bed so early. She hummed a few times, and was then held obediently in Zhou Linjin's arms and tucked into the quilt.
Zhou Linjin asked her again: "Do you miss me?"
An An's big, round eyes peeked out from under the covers, rolling around before she uttered two crisp words: "No."
"Okay, okay, go to bed quickly so you can get up early and play tomorrow." Chen Lianxiu said.
It took almost a cup of tea for Chen Lianxiu to coax An An to sleep. Then she looked outside carefully again and found that the figure was still there.
Chen Lianxiu frowned, feeling uncomfortable thinking about someone constantly watching from outside the door. She couldn't help but silently mouthed to Zhong Linjin, "Why are you still outside?"
Zhou Linjin shook his head.
He came over and pushed An An, who was lying sprawled in the middle of the bed, inside, then signaled with his eyes to Shen Lianxiu to lie down on the bed with him.
Chen Lianxiu hesitated for a moment, wondering whether this was to avoid the person outside the door, or whether it was a trick Zhou Linjin came up with on purpose. After all, the room was so small, and even if they slept on the bed, as long as a well-trained person listened carefully, they could still vaguely hear what they were saying.
However, just waiting like this would indeed make people more suspicious in the eyes of those who were interested. It would be fine on normal days, but now it seemed more like he was waiting to do something.
"You sleep in the middle. I'm afraid I'll squeeze into An'an at night." Zhou Linjin gave her another look, urging Shen Lianxiu to get into bed quickly. "I'll sleep on the outside."
Chen Lianxiu had no choice but to lie down on the bed with Zhou Linjin one after another.
This bed is against the innermost wall, and it seems a little more secluded when you lie on it.
Chen Lianxiu quietly got up from the bed again, moved to the end of the bed to look outside, and saw a faint figure still beside the bed.
She was about to speak quietly to Zhou Linjin, but he grabbed her from behind and pulled her back onto the bed. She was caught off guard and fell backwards in mid-air. She almost screamed out of fright. She thought she would fall heavily on the bed, but when she was halfway down, Zhou Linjin caught her in time.
"What are you doing?" Shen Lianxiu's ears suddenly turned red. "You'll wake An An up!"
She leaned against Zhou Linjin like this, unable to lie back. She wanted to sit up again, but An An was sleeping on one side and Zhou Linjin was on the other side, so she couldn't find any strength to support herself.
Zhou Linjin pecked her ear gently and asked, "Does what you said that day still count?"
Chen Lianxiu was confused: "Which day? What did I say?"
"It was the day I left," Zhou Linjin said softly, seeming to feel a little aggrieved. "Have you forgotten?"
Every time he said a word, Shen Lianxiu felt an itch on the back of her neck. She twisted it impatiently a few times. Perhaps because they were too close, her breath couldn't help but become hot: "Let me go... The person outside will hear us..."
"I just want him to hear it." Zhou Linjin said with a smile.
"You said that day that if I could come back, you would forgive me."
Chen Lianxiu said: "I didn't say that, you said it yourself."
"But you didn't argue."
After Zhou Linjin finished speaking, neither of them spoke for a while. Finally, Shen Lianxiu poked Zhou Linjin with her elbow. Zhou Linjin let her go as if he was bored and lay down on the bed first.
He watched Shen Lianxiu lie down beside him.
"A Yuan, can you please forgive me?" he asked again.
Chen Lianxiu continued to remain silent, neither refusing decisively as before nor nodding.
Zhou Linjin propped himself up and looked at her steadily from top to bottom.
Chen Lianxiu glanced at him and immediately turned away.
And at this moment, Zhou Linjin did not give her any leeway. Shen Lianxiu felt the delicate kisses falling on her face like raindrops. Although the movements were gentle, they were urgent.
Shen Lianxiu was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly pushed him: "No, not here..."
In her panic, her voice was a little high, which startled An An and she twisted her body.
Zhou Linjin paused, but when he saw that An An showed no signs of waking up, he continued.
"Hmm..." This time, when Chen Lianxiu wanted to speak again, Zhou Linjin had already blocked her mouth.
This time the kiss was long and deep, and Chen Lianxiu almost fainted several times, but it was like she was on the edge of a cliff. Every time she was about to fall to the bottom, Zhou Linjin would support her in time.
When he finally let her go, Shen Lianxiu couldn't help but moan.
"Aren't you afraid that people outside will hear it?" Zhou Linjin looked at her and teased.
Chen Lianxiu was squeezed in the middle, unable to move or hide, but a pair of delicate jade hands were tightly clenching. When she came to her senses, she realized that it was Zhou Linjin's clothes that were pulled, and the clothes on both of them had been peeled off at some point, leaving their bodies half-covered.
When he saw the two of them, Shen Lianxiu's heart seemed to burst like a dam and was suddenly washed away.
But she still retained a trace of rationality: "No, not here, An An is still sleeping in there..."
Zhou Linjin didn't say anything, but immediately leaned over her and wrapped An An in the quilt. Then he put the wrapped An An on the ground, which was the broken door panel where Zhou Linjin had slept before.
Chen Lianxiu was afraid that An An would catch a cold sleeping on the ground, so she rushed over to check on her. She saw that she was so small that the quilt was enough to wrap her up, covering her body and body. Even though her bed was moved, she didn't notice it at all.
She felt a little relieved and was about to turn over, but Zhou Linjin grabbed her.
…
She lay lazily and asked, "What time is it?"
"I don't know. Anyway, it's not dawn yet." Zhou Linjin hugged her contentedly, gently stroking her delicate and smooth back. His other hand was still covering her jade mountain, and his fingers teased the two bright and juicy cherries.
Chen Lianxiu glanced out the window again, wanting to get up and take a closer look, but because the person was in his hands, he couldn't move.
Zhou Linjin knew what Shen Lianxiu was looking at, so he whispered in her ear: "We have been away for too long, and he has left."
If it happens once or twice it's fine, but if it happens too many times and you don't know when it will end, you will naturally get tired of waiting.
Chen Lianxiu raised her head and blinked at Zhou Linjin.
Zhou Linjin was already in the same position as before, leaning close to her ear, and spoke a few words to her in a voice so soft that only she could understand every word.
“Why not just…” Shen Lianxiu made a gesture of scratching his neck with his hand.
Zhou Linjin said, "He's extremely careful with his food, clothing, and daily necessities. If there's any poison, he'll be aware of it immediately. He'll also be wary of you. If you take advantage of the situation and mix the poison, he'll definitely know right away."
Shen Lianxiu nodded.
Zhou Linjin kissed her forehead again: "We may not meet again in the future, just remember the date, it must be the day when the reinforcements arrive."
She listened carefully and nodded again.
"Are you scared?" Zhou Linjin asked her.
"Don't be afraid. We've already come this far. What else is there to be afraid of?" Chen Lianxiu murmured, his tone gradually becoming melancholy. "The Rong Kingdom has clearly withdrawn its troops. If you can stop King Hui from dumping dead livestock into the moat and return to the capital safely, you can pass on this news. Perhaps... the city will not surrender so quickly."
Since the capital city was completely cut off from the outside world after closing its gates, it naturally had no idea of the situation at the border. After being trapped for a long time, coupled with the speculation that if the border could not be defended, the troops of the Rong State would march straight in to support King Hui, the people in the city became morale-destroying, and it became difficult to hold the city.
If King Hui knew that the Rong State had been defeated and that the troops from the border would come to support the king in a short time, he would probably attack the city immediately, and it would be difficult to capture it in a short time.
Zhou Linjin twisted his fingers around Shen Lianxiu's long hair twice and said, "Talking about this now will only add to my regrets."
Chen Lianxiu lowered his eyes. Besides the fall of the city, Zhou Linjin suffered another heavy pain. The emperor suspected the Zhou family and even raided the Chengguo Mansion just because Zhou Linyu escaped secretly and Zhou Linjin volunteered to go out of the city to investigate. It was really absurd.
"Let's look for them again after we get back, okay?" she said to Zhou Linjin, "What if... my sister and the others are hiding..."
Having said this, Chen Lianxiu didn't know what to say next. She hoped that Yang, Zhou Yishao and the others were okay, and she was eager to comfort Zhou Linjin and make him feel better. However, she really didn't dare to give him too much hope at this time. If after entering the city, she found out that Yang and the others were really gone, wouldn't that be giving him hope and then shattering it?
"I know, I will find them." Zhou Linjin paused, "Even if they are just corpses, I will find them and bury them properly."
He sighed, then let go of Chen Lianxiu, got out of bed, carried An An back, and carefully put her back on the bed.
The three of them lay down again. Chen Lianxiu found a comfortable position in his arms and continued to nestle in it, and soon fell asleep.
