"It's December now, and the weather is getting colder. I'm worried you'll get cold on the battlefield."
Lu Huan nuzzled the side of her neck and said, "Men fight on the battlefield every day, so they're not afraid of the cold."
"don’t worry."
Su Qingci didn't say anything, but in his heart he said, 'How can I not worry? People are all made of flesh and blood.'
Lu Huan was so good to her, she remembered it all in her heart. On the battlefield, swords and knives are merciless, so she was naturally worried.
It was already daybreak, but Lu Huan didn't want to get up. He gently lifted her underwear with his fingers and whispered to her while there was still time.
The two bodies fit tightly together, and they could feel each other's desire. Lu Huan grabbed it greedily.
Not only their bodies, but also their souls seemed to be merged together. At this moment, they were like a pair of conjoined twins, part of each other.
They love each other deeply, appreciate each other, understand each other, and know what the other wants.
In this moment, they felt their most tender, wild, and eager selves, blending together.
They will leave at dawn tomorrow. Lu Huan is reluctant to let go of every moment and every year that passes. The two of them only had one meal during the day and spent the rest of the time in bed.
Su Qingci was so tired that she couldn't even lift her hands, but Lu Huan was tireless. Her soft lips were held in his mouth while he attacked like crazy...
Afterwards, Su Qingci collapsed powerlessly on the couch, with her back to Lu Huan, and asked, "Tell me...if we do this, will I get pregnant?"
Lu Huan paused as he was tidying up his clothes, and kissed her forehead as if feeling guilty. "No."
"I'll ask the maids to bring some hot water. You can take a bath first while I prepare some contraceptive medicine."
Ever since the last time he brought up the matter of the contraceptive pills, Lu Huan no longer avoided her and always talked about it in front of her.
Lu Huan put on his clothes and walked out. Su Qingci heard him giving instructions to the maids.
A hot tear welled up in the corner of her eye, flowing past the red mole at the end of her eye. She murmured, "But what can I do? I haven't taken the medicine every time in the past half month."
…
Lu Huan worked for a while and cooked the medicine himself for Su Qingci to drink.
Su Qingci leaned against Lu Huan and drank the medicine from the bowl he brought over. "You have to leave at dawn tomorrow, so go to bed early tonight."
Lu Huan: "Okay."
He handed the pills to the maids, and they both rinsed their mouths and lay down. Lu Huan was right beside them, so Su Qingci didn't have the chance to spit out the contraceptive pills.
However, she didn't plan to spit out the medicine this time. She was originally hoping for luck, thinking that it might not be such a coincidence that she would have to go out to fight, so she secretly spit out the medicine and let nature take its course.
Su Qingci leaned in Lu Huan's arms. She was exhausted from the past few days and soon fell asleep with her head resting on his arm.
Lu Huan was actually extremely sleepy. He forced his eyelids open and stared at Su Qingci's sleeping face, but his right eyelid kept twitching and the feeling of panic became more and more intense.
He always felt as if something big was about to happen, but he couldn't put his finger on why. This inexplicable anxiety kept him awake for a long time.
Looking at Su Qingci's peaceful sleeping face, he forced himself to close his eyes. After about half an hour, he finally fell asleep.
Just as he fell asleep with his head down on the pillow, Lu Huan heard Su Qingci's voice softly calling him to get up.
At this time, she had already changed her clothes and dressed neatly. She was standing quietly by the bed and said in a gentle tone, "Ziyi, it's time to get up."
Lu Huan resisted the urge to sleep and tried hard to open his still slightly sleepy eyes. He casually put on his inner clothes and got out of bed.
Su Qingci hurriedly took clothes from the side and carefully helped him get dressed.
Then she picked up a leather belt and carefully wrapped it around his waist. She said to him softly, "Wear this belt when you march and fight."
Lu Huan glanced at it nonchalantly and replied casually, "Okay."
Afterwards, Su Qingci continued to help Lu Huan finish washing up, and then the two of them hurriedly had a simple breakfast.
As the weather gets cooler, the daybreaks come later and later.
However, no matter how slowly the day breaks, there will always be a moment when it breaks.
At this moment, Su Qingci silently gazed at the gray but gradually brightening sky outside the window, and an indescribable sadness and anxiety surged in his heart.
If only the day would never come, she didn't want him to leave.
Lu Huan didn't know what she was thinking. He put on his clothes and said to her, "Go back to sleep."
Su Qingci shook his head: "I'll take you there."
Lu Huan didn't refuse anymore. He took the armor beside him and put it on over his clothes, holding the sword in his hand, and said, "Let's go."
After saying that, he took her hand with his left hand, interlocked their fingers, and walked out the door.
When they reached the main entrance, they found that Lu Guang had also gotten up. Lu Huan looked at him for a long time before calling him in a hoarse voice.
"Father."
Lu Guang hummed, and his whole body looked a little haggard, as if he hadn't had a good rest. He looked at Su Qingci, "Is she going to see you off too?"
Lu Huan: "Yes, prepare to send her to the city gate and then let her come back."
Su Qingci knew that he had some grievances and conflicts with Lu Guang, but father and son were still father and son after all.
"When Qingci is at home, please take good care of her, father. Don't let others... bully her."
Others may not know who this "other person" is talking about, but Lu Guang knows it very well.
He nodded lightly, without saying any auspicious words, wished him a safe journey, and went straight back.
Su Qingci looked at Lu Guang's back and said, "Actually, father cares about you very much."
Lu Huan tightened their hands, turned around, pulled her onto the carriage, and headed straight for the city gate.
Just as Fu Su, the eunuch beside the emperor, said when he came to convey the imperial edict that day, Deputy General Wu and his men had already prepared everything and were just waiting for Lu to call them.
When he saw Lu Huan approaching, a glint of joy flashed in Lieutenant General Wu's eyes. He immediately dismounted and strode towards Lu Huan.
"General Lu, that's great! With you here, this battle will be twice as effective with half the effort."
Lu Huan was wearing armor and holding a sword in his hand, but his eyes were on Su Qingci, who was looking at him from afar on the city wall two hundred meters behind him.
The army outside the city was on full alert, and Su Qingci was unable to leave the city. He could only climb up the city wall and look into the distance.
Lu Huan did not respond to Deputy General Wu's words. His eyes revealed deep reluctance and attachment as he stared at the familiar figure on the city wall.
Deputy General Wu followed his gaze, then looked away, looked into Lu Huan's eyes and asked, "That person on the tower, is that my sister-in-law?"
Lu Huan came back to his senses and patted his arm, "Yes."
"Let's go, let's go early and come back early!"
He jumped onto the horse with a nimble posture, his movements smooth and seamless, without any sense of dragging his feet.
Then he turned sideways, waved at Su Qingci on the city wall, and motioned her to go home.
His eyes revealed a firmness and determination, but also a hint of tenderness and reluctance.
