Chapter 412 Change of Heart
"Qingxuan"'s beautiful ten fingers plucked the strings of the piano. The posture of playing the piano was so gentle, but when he did it, it looked particularly elegant and imposing.
Yun Chen was stunned.
When she heard him ask "Do you like it?", she nodded hurriedly, and said while taking out her purse:
"I won't watch it for free, I'll give you money, don't worry!"
After searching all over his body, he still couldn't find his wallet.
Her mind was beginning to become confused due to drunkenness. She simply untied her belt and took off her clothes, hoping to find some silver. Unexpectedly, "Qingxuan" was so frightened that the pipa strings broke. He rushed over in two steps, and with a strong hand, he stopped her movements and commanded in a gentle tone:
"Be good, put on your clothes, and don't act crazy—and don't act crazy to others."
Yun Chen nodded blankly, looked up and stared straight into "Qingxuan's" eyes. He was stunned for a moment, tears slowly welling up in his eyes.
She sniffed and said unhappily:
"Hey, take your hands off me and pour me some wine."
Qingxuan hummed a smile and sat down next to her. He poured plum juice, honey, and roselle juice into the wine flask and shook it. After diluting it, he mixed it evenly before pouring out a glass and holding it up to her with one hand.
"Yes."
"Hmph!" Yun Chen turned his head to the side and started to get angry: "You didn't feed me like this the other day. I liked the way you fed me that day!"
"Qingxuan" was stunned for a moment, his eyes and voice became gloomy:
"Then can you show me how I fed you that day? I kind of forgot."
"Okay!" Yun Chen agreed readily, then staggered down, bit the edge of the wine glass and picked it up, slowly crawling towards "Qingxuan" until he got close to his masked mouth and said indistinctly:
"Feed it like this, I want it...feed it like this!"
She didn’t know if it was Yun Chen’s illusion, but she seemed to hear the sound of silver teeth grinding behind the mask.
Looking at her wine-pink face, her delicate red lips and pearly teeth holding the fragrant wine glass, the bright wine in the glass rippling slightly, while her eyes became more watery and emotional, "Qingxuan" moved his cheeks fiercely, took a deep breath, raised his hand to grab the wine glass and threw it out, his tone sounding a little angry and sour:
"Girl, you're having so much fun out there? Aren't you afraid your husband will find out?"
Yun Chen still crawled in the puppy posture, tilted his head, blinked, and said:
"I don't have a husband. I'm single."
“…”
"I broke up with him during the Spring Rain, and we haven't reconciled yet. I'm still single, isn't it? He and I agreed to meet again in two years, meaning I can have fun and spend as much as I want in those two years!"
“…”
"Don't worry, I came here alone today. No one else knows. This place is known only to God, the earth, you, and me. It doesn't matter what I do."
“…”
"Why, you don't like me anymore?"
“…”
After a long silence, the masked man's nose was almost crooked with anger. The tone of the voice behind him was bitter and bitter, and he squeezed out two words with difficulty:
"like……"
Yun Chen smiled happily, "That's good, I like you too, very much."
After saying that, she leaned back and sat comfortably on the couch, shaking her head and humming a little tune, leaving "Qingxuan" standing stiffly in the same place, her palms almost bleeding from being pinched.
"Pour me some wine quickly." She ordered him again.
He could only pour more wine, then clutched the cup and said in a low voice:
"Please forgive me, young lady. I am wearing a mask and cannot feed you. Please drink it yourself."
Yun Chen waved his hand generously, "It's no problem," and took the wine glass.
As they drank, it seemed that drinking alone was too boring, so she pushed a pot of wine without plum juice in front of him:
"You drink too."
After hesitating for a moment, he lifted the mask on his face slightly and pushed it up, revealing a little bit of the corner of his lips, and drank the whole pot directly from the spout.
When he put down the wine jug, he quickly put the mask back on. The look in his eyes when he looked at her was calm again, unlike before when he was so emotionally moved by her words and actions. His eyes became darker and brighter, and he looked at her steadily, straightly, and without any hesitation.
She touched her face and asked, "Why are you staring at me? Aren't you afraid that your wife will be angry?"
He said, "My wife knows that I only love her and she won't be angry."
"Oh." She nodded. "Did your wife tell you that herself?"
"She and I have a deep connection, so there's no need to say more." He said this with a firm tone, paused, and then continued in a hoarse voice:
"But I should never have joked with her. I made her think I didn't miss her or care about her anymore."
"So what is the truth?"
"The truth is, I miss her so much that I'm going crazy. I can't think about her during the day or sleep at night. I wish I could grow wings and fly by her side every day."
She held the wine glass, frowned and thought for a moment, then concluded:
"So, it's your fault for being so reserved, you deserve it..."
He smiled bitterly and shook his head, "The girl is right."
"Then drink another glass as a punishment." She handed him her used wine glass.
He took it, tilted his head back and drank it all in one gulp, a drop of wine sliding down his chin to his Adam's apple.
The next moment, he suddenly felt a figure flash before his eyes. Yun Chen suddenly leaned over without any warning, sniffed gently, and then -
Kissed his Adam's apple.
She extended her soft and delicate tongue and gently rolled away the wine bead on his Adam's apple.
He shuddered, pushed her away, and stared at her in disbelief through the mask.
Unfortunately, his upper body was still obedient and was still shouting "No!", but his lower body had already pounced towards her.
Therefore, when she pushed over the candlestick, dimming the light, and leaned towards him again, he did not refuse, but just stared blankly at her eyebrows getting closer and closer, her soft lips curled in a pink smile, and her eyes held an unbridled charm that he had never seen before.
She kissed his Adam's apple again, pecked it gently, and her warm breath brushed against his skin, then slowly moved up along his Adam's apple, and then up...
She snuggled into his arms, forcing him to lean back and hug her, subconsciously holding her waist.
She stood up a little, lowered her eyes to look into his, then held his mask with both hands, gently pushed it up a little, and lowered her head to kiss him.
He felt his vision darken for a moment, and his sense of touch suddenly became extremely sensitive. When her soft lips covered him, he completely forgot everything and only knew to suck hard and respond.
Using up the last bit of his sanity, he kicked away two wine glasses and extinguished all the remaining candles.
The room was completely dark, and the milky white moonlight illuminated two figures tightly entangled on the brocade couch.
In the darkness, there was no other sound except the panting filled with love, eagerness and desire.
She lay on top of him, kissing him over and over again, her breathing was nervous and disordered, but she felt unprecedented sweetness.
Soon, desire took over, and his mask had fallen off at some point. He couldn't help but turn over and push her down, his hand reaching under her clothes.
At the last moment, she stopped kissing him and said to him, panting, "I really like you." After a pause, she smiled and added three words:
"Young husband".
It was like a basin of cold water poured over his head. He woke up in an instant, his whole body froze, and he suddenly stepped back as if avoiding a flood or a beast.
When she relit the candle, she could only see his back as he hurriedly picked up the mask and ran out of the door in embarrassment.
She covered her hot cheeks with her hands, and laughed on the couch for a long time, secretly grinning:
"I've been hung up by you for so many years, it's time you learned what it's like to be hung up, you bad guy. I've already smelled the scent of pear wood!"
…
…
On the other side, someone who had disappeared for seven or eight days after galloping away on his horse returned to the Lion Army camp in disgrace, and went straight into the commander's tent and never came out again.
Duan Jie curiously lifted the curtain and looked over, only to see Huo Gannian lying face down on the couch, curled up in a ball with the quilt in his arms, his shoulders trembling slightly, and no one knew what he was doing.
Duan Jie called out tentatively, and Huo Gannian immediately covered his head with the quilt, causing the entire quilt to tremble even more violently. A faint "woooo" sound could be heard from within, causing Duan Jie to break out in goosebumps. Pointing inside the tent, he asked Ye Yan uncertainly:
"It seems like there's a female ghost crying under his quilt. Did you hear it? 'Woo woo woo', am I the only one who heard it?"
Ye Yan poked his head into the tent and looked a little horrified:
"I would rather it was a female ghost, but unfortunately it wasn't. It was the young master crying."
"Huo Gannian is crying?" Duan Jieren was dumbfounded, his eyes almost popping out of his head. He asked again in disbelief:
"You mean Huo Gannian is crying? This calmest and most composed guy in the world is crying right now? Damn, this is the first time I've seen him cry since I was a child."
Ye Yan was a little puzzled: "From childhood to adulthood? Have you known our young master before?"
Duan Jie looked a little unnatural and immediately changed the subject:
"What's going on with him? He was all fired up when he left, wearing new clothes and a mask. He looked like he'd heard General Yun was visiting the Xianggu Pavilion and was going to give him a good beating. Why is he like this when he comes back?"
Ye Yan didn't pay attention to the previous small topic. He was obviously more attracted by the crying Huo Gannian. He touched his chin and smacked his lips:
"Obviously he was 'taken care of.'"
Duan Jie suddenly realized what was going on. He looked at the "resentful husband" crying heartbrokenly and collapsed in the tent, and couldn't help but sigh twice:
"Serves him right. Who told him to scare Yun Chen into meeting him again in two years? Now he's in trouble!"
As he spoke, Huo Gannian cried louder and louder, attracting the curious looks of the passing soldiers.
Duan Jie felt that this was not a solution as it would damage Huo Gannian's usual cool and majestic image.
He opened the curtain and walked in, sitting down beside the couch, nudging Huo Gan with his elbow and muttering:
"What's wrong with you? What's so upsetting? Tell me and I'll be happy. Yun Chen doesn't want you anymore? Has she fallen in love with the young man from Xianggu Pavilion?"
Thinking back to Yun Chen's tenderness and affection, the kisses, hugs and teasing, it turned out that he was not treating Huo Gannian with him, but treating him as "Qingxuan"!
Huo Gannian did not answer, but buried his head tightly in the quilt and responded with a loud cry of "Wow".
Duan Jie was so frightened that he trembled all over, shuddered, rubbed his stinging ears, and laughed slyly:
"I have a bad idea that can make Yun Chen change his mind. Do you want to hear it?"
