【Chen Zixi×you】After breaking the defense, he chose to attack at night
It was evening when Jiang Yan came back. You and Chen Zixi were standing by the stove. He was stirring the shrimp and tofu soup in the pot with a long-handled spoon. You hugged his waist from behind and rested your chin on his neck, acting coquettishly.
Then you suddenly hear someone at the door speaking in surprise: "Have you heard that Hero Jiang is back?"
"Really? Hasn't Hero Jiang been gone for three years?"
"Old Li just saw him at the village entrance!"
"Oh, we must quickly tell Madam Han and the Young Master this good news!"
...Uncle Jiang is back? After this thought flashed through your mind, your first subconscious action was to let go of Chen Zixi and take a step back.
Chen Zixi immediately turned around and looked at you. When he saw the expression on your face that looked like "I'm going to get caught cheating," his eyes flashed and he comforted you, "What are you afraid of? Jiang Yan and you have been reunited for a long time. He's so happy that he won't scold you."
But you still have a lot to fear. After Uncle Jiang left, you saw how good Chen Zixi looked with a fan and immediately abandoned the nameless sword to pick up Qingshan Pen instead. That's one thing. And second, you fell in love with Chen Zixi, the man Uncle Jiang entrusted to take care of you. And when Uncle Jiang came back and found out that not only were you terrible with the sword, but you were also in a relationship with his best friend, who was much older than you, wouldn't he be furious?
The more you thought about it, the more panicked you became. Finally, you just said to Chen Zixi, "I'll go out and take a look," and ran out with your skirt lifted up.
You saw Uncle Jiang in the bamboo forest next to the Bamboo Hermitage. He was sitting on a rock, deep in thought, holding a small jar of Tears of Separation and drinking slowly.
"Uncle Jiang!" You ran towards him, and when you got closer you realized that after not seeing him for three years, you could no longer hug his arms and act coquettishly like you used to.
However, you didn't want Uncle Jiang to come home and feel that there was a gap between you, so you strode forward and hugged him: "Uncle Jiang, I missed you so much, welcome home!"
Uncle Jiang seemed to be in a trance as well. He slowly hugged you and patted your back: "Well, you have grown up."
He let go of you, his eyes sweeping over the silver hairpin and pearl decorations in your hair, then looking at the smoky purple dress you were wearing, and said with a hint of meaning: "It seems that Chen Zixi has taken good care of you."
It might have been just a casual comment, but you felt your heart skip a beat and a guilty conscience. You let out a dry laugh: "Yeah, Brother Zixi is very good to me."
Uncle Jiang looked at you, but soon his gaze shifted away and fell behind you, and he said lightly: "Long time no see."
You already had a guess in mind, and hesitantly turned around, only to see Chen Zixi. His eyes were fixed on you, and after meeting yours, he looked back at Uncle Jiang and smiled faintly, "Master Jiang, you've finally come back? You've been missing me for three years, and I've missed you so much."
Uncle Jiang said, "Thank you very much for taking care of her."
Chen Zixi glanced at you again and said with a smile, "Why would you say such things between you and me? Besides, she is very well-behaved and a very good girl."
You don’t know if it’s an illusion, but you always feel that Chen Zixi’s tone of voice is strange. Afraid that Uncle Jiang will notice if you delay for too long, you quickly grab Uncle Jiang’s hand and shake it: “Uncle Jiang, let’s go back. It’s getting late. You’ve had a hard time traveling. You should rest early after dinner!”
"...Okay." Uncle Jiang paused and nodded.
You felt a little relieved, holding Uncle Jiang's arm and walking with him. After all, they were still family, and this short moment together was enough for you to regain your intimacy with him.
In order to let Uncle Jiang taste your cooking, you directly drove Chen Zixi out of the kitchen and reminded him: "Uncle Jiang just came back, there are some things you can't tell him, you understand, right?"
Chen Zixi looked up into your eyes, smiling: "Don't worry, I understand." Then he left.
You leaned against the doorframe, watching his back, but you couldn't help but feel that his expression wasn't right. After three years, you thought you knew Chen Zixi well enough, and he was clearly angry.
But why was he angry? Because Uncle Jiang was back? But wasn't Uncle Jiang his best friend?
You think about it for a long time but still can't figure it out, so you just put it aside and concentrate on cooking.
By the time you carry out the freshly made magical fish stew, there will already be three wine jars piled up at the feet of Uncle Jiang and Chen Zixi.
You were startled for a moment, then sighed in relief when you noticed they didn't look drunk. "What's the point of just drinking? Try my cooking!"
Chen Zixi joked: "Master Jiang is so proud of himself. This little ancestor doesn't cook easily on weekdays."
Uncle Jiang nodded towards you: "You have indeed grown a lot. You are now a grown-up girl. Not bad."
The meal was surprisingly peaceful. Uncle Jiang ate quietly and said nothing except occasionally praising your "good cooking skills".
Chen Zixi was even more out of character. Apart from inviting Uncle Jiang to clink glasses with him and drink, he didn't say anything else.
Although it seems calm, you always feel that there is a powder keg hidden underneath the calm, which will explode at any time.
After the meal was finally over, you quickly pulled Uncle Jiang to his room: "Uncle Jiang, are you tired? You should rest early. I clean your bed regularly, so it's clean, don't worry!"
"Okay." Uncle Jiang looked at you deeply and gently stroked the hair on your forehead. "After three years, you have grown faster than I thought."
When you received Uncle Jiang’s praise, your eyes unconsciously turned red.
Uncle Jiang immediately noticed your grievance. He held you in his arms and patted your back gently: "Don't cry, you are already a mature girl..."
"Uncle Jiang, will you leave again?" you asked him tentatively.
"No more." Uncle Jiang promised you. "I've already solved everything that needs to be solved."
While you feel relieved, your heart is also unconsciously nervous - how are you going to explain to Uncle Jiang that you and Chen Zixi are together?
Uncle Jiang could see that you were distracted, so he asked you, "What's wrong? You seem to have something to say to me."
You looked into his eyes, hesitated again and again, and still didn't dare to tell the truth. You only said hesitantly: "No, Uncle Jiang, you should get some rest early."
Then she fled in panic under his meaningful gaze.
When you returned to Buxianxian's room, you found that the lights were off. It seemed that after you dragged Jiang Yan away, Chen Zixi didn't continue to wait for you, but went to rest first.
You walked in slowly and scanned the entire room, but couldn't see Chen Zixi.
An inexplicable sense of loss enveloped you, and you thought to yourself, he is indeed angry. But you don't understand why he is angry.
You sat down on the bed in a daze, staring blankly at the bright moon and stars outside the window, unable to figure out what to do.
Uncle Jiang is back, will Chen Zixi leave? Originally, he was entrusted by Uncle Jiang to take care of you. Now that Uncle Jiang is back, will he leave? But you don't want him to leave.
When Chen Zixi first arrived at Buxianxian, you were completely immersed in the sadness of Uncle Jiang's departure without saying goodbye, and you didn't want to pay any attention to him. It was Chen Zixi who accompanied you every day, eating with you, practicing martial arts with you, and reading with you. He even stayed by your bedside all night when you were sick.
You are not a heartless person, so how can you not like such a good person like Chen Zixi?
You sat there in a daze for a long time, your mind in a mess, but in the end you only had one thought left.
——You can't let Chen Zixi leave you. If he wants to leave, then just follow him.
Thinking you had thought it through, you were about to get up and go find Chen Zixi, but suddenly you noticed there was someone else in the room, right behind you.
You were startled and turned around to attack, but the man was very familiar with your martial arts. He dodged to the side, grabbed your wrist and pulled you into his arms.
There's a faint aroma of wine, the scent of tears. Beyond that, there's a subtle medicinal scent, a scent you've been able to smell day and night for the past three years.
——It’s Chen Zixi.
You immediately stopped resisting and fell into his arms obediently.
Chen Zixi didn't stop. He hooked his hand under your chin and forced you to look up, then a passionate kiss came down on you. You couldn't see his expression clearly, but this was the first time he had been so aggressive. He had always been gentle and patient.
"Brother Zixi..." You called him subconsciously. "What's wrong with you?"
In the moonlight outside the window, you see Chen Zixi's dazed expression. He seems even more confused than you.
“Sorry for scaring you,” he mumbled, letting go of you and taking a few steps back, slumping down on the edge of the bed.
"No, I'm not afraid of you!" You emphasized quickly, moving closer to him anxiously. "Brother Zixi, what's wrong with you? You've been acting weird all day."
He looked up at you, his expression confused and puzzled. "Do you still care about me? Jiang Yan is back."
You suddenly understood what he meant and shook your head: "I like you, it has nothing to do with whether Uncle Jiang comes back or not!"
Chen Zixi tilted his head, seemingly not understanding what you meant. "When I saw you three years ago, you looked like you'd lost your soul. You were absent-minded, sleepy, and anorexic all day long. You wouldn't eat or sleep unless someone was watching you... Could it be that you didn't like him?"
Your eyes widened, unable to believe he had always thought this way: "No, you're overthinking it. I just lost my backbone and the support of my life, so I couldn't accept it for a while! How could I have that kind of feeling towards Uncle Jiang? He's my adoptive father and master!"
Chen Zixi stared at you, his eyes dazed: "But..." He smiled bitterly: "I don't want you to lie to me. If you still like him, just tell me directly."
Damn it, Chen Zixi looks like he's about to break!
You were so distressed that you rushed over and hugged him without thinking: "No, I only like you, I only like you, Chen Zixi!"
It's hard to tell when you two were kissing again. Chen Zixi's kiss was still gentle and tolerant. You leaned in his arms, his heart beating violently like a drum under his warm and smooth chest...
Wait, this feeling?!
You looked down, your eyes widening in disbelief. You hadn't even noticed that Chen Zixi's shirt was half-open the entire time? He's so fair...
You quickly looked away and asked him tremblingly, "Brother Zixi, your clothes..."
Chen Zixi chuckled twice and asked you, "Why, don't you like it?"
Of course you like him. Unlike the frail scholar he looks like, he's actually quite well-built, with a thick chest and strong muscles. But, it's a bit embarrassing to be asked this question by him!
You said hesitantly, "I like it..."
Chen Zixi propped himself up on the mattress, looking at you calmly: "I like it, why don't you dare look?"
After watching Chen Zixi's actions, you finally understood: his previous vulnerability was all fake, he just came to your bed to seduce you!
But, shamefully, you'd been seduced. You and Chen Zixi had been together for over a year, always acting out of affection and restrained by propriety. Aside from hugging and kissing, nothing else had happened. Now, with Uncle Jiang back, he'd actually done something as ungentlemanly as attacking you at night.
You looked at him, smiling and teasing, "You, the dignified Yushan Jun, are also going to attack others at night?"
"Mr. Yushan," he rubbed your cheek with his fingers, then pressed your hand against his chest, his beautiful black eyes looking at you with affection. "I'm also afraid that my sweetheart will fall in love with someone else."
Only then did you realize that even someone as charming, uninhibited, and confident as Chen Zixi would worry that you would abandon him and return to Jiang Yan's arms. This strange contrast made him even more endearing and charming.
After a brief hesitation, you pushed Chen Zixi down on the couch and kissed him seriously.
"Do you know how to do it? Do you want me to teach you?" He asked you quietly with a smile.
You looked at him, shook your head subconsciously, and then nodded.
He understood immediately and rolled over, pinning you down.
You suddenly become nervous.
"Don't be afraid," he winked at you. "I'll be gentle."
When the romance was at its peak, there was a sound of wind whistling outside the window, and the sound of large leaves falling to the ground.
You looked towards the window in confusion, but couldn't see anything through the window sash. You wondered, could the summer wind be this strong?
"Don't worry about it." Chen Zixi kissed you on the lips. "Someone pretended to be ignorant even though they knew the truth, and then acquiesced because they thought they were wrong."
What does this mean? You don't understand.
However, as Chen Zixi moved, you had no time to understand.
