Chapter 304 (Extra) Paying Back the Debt
The river breeze blew through the window, and it was clearly cool, but Chen Yu felt her entire back was burning in her sleep.
Fang moved forward a little, but was dragged back by someone holding his waist. He felt a pain in the tip of his ear and woke up completely.
Look at the moonlight, it seems to be only three o'clock in the morning.
"Where are you hiding?" Xie Tingzhou leaned forward, "Are you going to find your brother Zhuangzhuang?"
Chen Yu had not yet fully awakened from her sleep and did not hear clearly what he asked. In the moonlight, she vaguely saw that Xie Tingzhou looked a little unhappy.
He was fine before going to bed, but why did he suddenly become unhappy in the middle of the night?
"It's hot." Chen Yu said, but she didn't hide to the side, letting Xie Tingzhou hug her, "Why don't you sleep in the middle of the night?"
"I can't sleep, let's chat." Xie Tingzhou wanted to bite her neck and her ear.
"What are you talking about?"
"Let's talk about your strong brother."
Chen Yu blinked, and after thinking for a long time, she finally searched for such a person from her memory.
"Did my brother tell you that?"
"So there really is such a person." He lay on his side beside her, supporting his head.
"Come, tell your husband about your brother Zhuangzhuang."
Shen Yu looked at him in confusion, "What does he have to say?"
"For example..." Xie Tingzhou's fingertips slowly opened her collar, "Tell me, has he ever held your hand?"
After two lifetimes, many of my childhood memories are no longer clear.
Chen Yu tried hard to recall, it seemed that when they played together as children, such as jumping into puddles, they would always hold hands.
Little did she know that the look of her trying hard to think was already a positive answer in Xie Tingzhou's eyes.
There was a sudden sharp pain in her neck, followed by a tingling sensation. Xie Tingzhou raised his head from her neck, his eyes like a wolf.
Chen Yu wanted to reach out and touch the bitten neck, but as soon as she raised her hand, her wrist was grabbed and pressed against the pillow.
A fingertip slowly slid down from the neck, "It seems that Madam has been a worry since she was a child."
Xie Tingzhou raised his head as their bodies pressed against each other, and he pressed down, making the outline of their pressed body more obvious.
The air gradually became humid and hot, as if the wind had avoided this place.
A hand stretched out from the edge of the bed, but before it touched the small table next to it, it was pulled back and pressed against the pillow.
"You haven't paid off your debt yet, why are you running away?"
"I'm...thirsty."
The weakness in the voice did not stop the man above, but instead made the violent thoughts even stronger.
Xie Tingzhou stood up, raised the teapot and took a sip of cold tea, then leaned over and kissed her again, entangled with her over the slightly bitter cold tea.
Chen Yu felt like she couldn't breathe. She tilted her head slightly, and the tea flowed from the corner of her lips to her neck.
Xie Tingzhou kissed along the trail of water. When he raised his head, he saw that her lips were sparkling with tea. The bright red color on them was his masterpiece. Her raised neck and the satisfied look in the corners of her eyes were all silent seductions for him.
"Have another child, Ayu." Xie Tingzhou kissed her, "I want another girl."
"Don't you have Xiaoyu'er?"
"I want one like you, with two little pigtails and a sword taller than a person."
Chen Yu's consciousness was no longer clear, "How did you know?"
"I dreamed about it."
Xie Tingzhou recalled that she said in her dream that she wanted to marry Brother Zhuangzhuang. It seemed that she was much bolder in the dream than in reality.
He pinched her waist and suddenly turned her over. Her arched back was covered with beads of sweat.
He reached out and touched it, which immediately brought tears to the person's eyes.
Chen Yu turned around, her eyes soaked in mountain mist were filled with silent accusations.
"Heavy?"
Xie Tingzhou said maliciously: "Don't you like strong people? Why do I feel like I'm not strong enough?"
Xie Tingzhou was mean, and he kept talking about the same topics, asking her if he was good-looking, whether your brother Zhuangzhuang was good-looking or me, and whether Zhuangzhuang was as strong as me.
He wanted to enjoy himself and liked to see her expression. The patient frown, the unbearable trembling, and the momentary absence of consciousness were all silent encouragement to him.
The night was suddenly shortened and the curtains were lowered at dawn.
The knock on the door failed to wake up the person in his arms. Xie Tingzhou stood up and saw that her waist and back were covered with marks from last night.
"What's up?"
The door was suddenly opened, Bai Yu fluttered and tried to fly inside, but was blocked by Xie Tingzhou, and the door closed behind Xie Tingzhou.
The person in front of me was wearing a loose robe, his eyes were full of satisfaction, and his whole body exuded the laziness after a hearty feast.
Xifeng took one look and didn't dare to look again. He lowered his eyes and stared at the wooden board under his feet.
"Master." Xifeng said, "We have arrived in Ling'an. The Ling'an County Magistrate has sent people to meet us at the ferry."
Xie Tingzhou asked: "How did the governor know that we would be in Ling'an at this time?"
Xie Tingzhou took a few steps forward. The river breeze blew up his wide sleeves. He raised his hand, and the white feather on the railing immediately jumped onto his arm.
Bai Yu's claws were still as powerful as usual, and he even used a little more strength to express his dissatisfaction at being blocked just now.
Xie Tingzhou was not wearing arm restraints, so the force seemed a bit heavy. He frowned and said, "Be gentle."
The words came out of his mouth, and then the person was distracted.
I remembered that Wan Chenyu had given me such reminders countless times, and I had trembled countless times under his gaze.
"master."
Xie Tingzhou came back to his senses, "What did you just say?"
Xifeng repeated, "I guess it was after we left Fengyang that the Fengyang County Magistrate revealed our itinerary."
Xie Tingzhou was not planning to go originally, but changed his mind after hearing what Xifeng said.
He had been in charge of government for four years, and everyone knew that he disliked factions among court officials. But now, only four years after he abdicated, someone had the audacity to cross his bottom line again.
"Go and take a look." Xie Tingzhou touched Bai Yu's fur, put it back on the railing, returned to the cabin, saw Chen Yu sleeping soundly, and changed his clothes on his own.
When he left, he instructed the maid and guards to escort his wife to the residence of the Ling'an County Magistrate after she woke up.
The cruise ship docked at the port on the riverside of Ling'an City.
When Xie Tingzhou got off the boat, the governor of Ling'an County was already waiting there under the scorching sun.
When he saw Xie Tingzhou from a distance, he raised his robe and was about to kneel down. When Xie Tingzhou lightly waved his two fingers, he understood the order and hurried forward.
The prefect of Ling'an had met Xie Tingzhou when he went to Beijing to report on his work a few years ago. At that time, Xie Tingzhou was still the regent as the King of Beilin.
After so many years, I felt that King Beilin was still the same as before. He had not aged at all, but the aura he exuded was not as strong as before, and he seemed much easier to talk to than before.
"Greetings—"
Xi Feng interrupted, "My master does not reveal his identity outside, so you can just call him Master."
"Yes, sir." The county magistrate bowed and said, "I will host a banquet in my mansion and invite you and your wife to have a simple meal."
