The bed curtain blocked most of the light outside, making the atmosphere more ambiguous and charming. Neither of them felt sleepy. Zhu Yanyin lay on the side against the wall, thinking of his unruly sleeping posture when he was planting rice on the moon last time, and felt that it was not good. I must hold on to this night, I won't sleep! This is the so-called power of elegance. Anyway, I have to spend another day in the carriage tomorrow, so it won't be too late to catch up on sleep then.
Having made up his mind, Mr. Zhu leaned to the side, letting a few strands of hair fall messily on his shoulders, making him look very casual but very charming. Li Sui rubbed his face with the back of his fingers: "Why don't you sleep?"
"I'm not sleepy." Zhu Yanyin held his fingers, "You should take a rest. We still have to travel tomorrow."
Li Sui smiled and pulled the man into his arms. Both of them were wearing loose and thin pajamas. Zhu Yanyin moved back slightly to avoid his rapid heartbeat exposing his thoughts. Uncle Zhang was right. The world is so dangerous. We must be cautious at all times.
Li Sui kissed his forehead again, without any lust, more like relaxing and getting close to someone he likes. Zhu Yanyin put her arms around his neck, thinking carefully for a long time, but couldn't figure out from which moment or which thing the relationship between the two changed - it seemed a little fast, but everything seemed to be very logical.
"What are you thinking about?" Li Sui asked.
"What?" Zhu Yanyin came back to his senses, "I was wondering, you were always so cold before, how come you suddenly don't dislike me anymore?"
"It's not sudden." Li Sui looked at him, "Besides, I didn't dislike him at the beginning." He was just habitually distant and indifferent, and didn't want to have anything to do with anyone or anything other than Sha Chi Tian.
"If it's not sudden, then is it considered love that has grown over time?"
"Um."
In vernacular stories, there are often stories about love at first sight, as if that is the only destiny. But in reality, it is not easy for two such different people, one who is cold and only wants revenge, and the other who has lost his memory and is confused, to come together step by step. It is not easy already, so don't ask for too much.
Zhu Yanyin buried his face in his chest, thinking, feeling quite proud, because not every scholar can coax the world's number one. He has already arranged their future lives, first go to the south of the Yangtze River, then to the northwest, and then walk through the famous rivers and mountains of Dayu Country - as for whether it will take five years, ten years, or fifty years, the second son Zhu has never been a pessimistic person. Even if the road ahead is unclear, he is willing to try with Li Sui to see if they can really grow old together.
Li Sui waved his hand and extinguished a lamp: "Go to sleep."
Zhu Yanyin pinched her waist in time and said, "No, I can't sleep. It's not graceful to sleep."
But it was tiring to maintain the same posture all the time, and the night was too long.
If you only rely on random thoughts and occasional chats, you will never last until dawn. Zhu Yanyin yawned in a daze, forget it, give up, I'm going to plant rice, no, I'm going to sleep.
Li Sui lowered his head: "What did you say?"
I wish Yanyin a sweet sleep and long breaths.
In fact, the snow-white Jiangnan nobleman's sleeping posture was not that wild. He did not snore or grind his teeth. He was as quiet as a fluffy and soft cat. At most, he liked to kick the quilt and was not honest, but after Li Sui held him in his arms and patted him twice, he stopped.
Snow fell on the mountain top outside all night, and the weather was gloomy the next morning.
Zhu Xiaosui knocked on the door: "Sir, it's time to get up."
Zhu Yanyin responded lazily, stretched out in the quilt, and wanted to take a nap, but a familiar low laugh came from beside him.
"!"
Zhu Yanyin quickly opened his eyes.
Li Sui was lazily leaning against the head of the bed, rubbing his temple with one hand, with the collar of his pajamas open, revealing most of his chest, making himself look like a peerless demon in a storybook... Anyway, most people would not be able to maintain such a showy image when they wake up, so it is obvious that the big devil must have made careful preparations for a long time while I was asleep, and now he has to pretend to be nonchalant. I am usually so perfect, how hypocritical.
"Young Master?" Zhu Xiaosui was still testing outside the door.
Zhu Yanyin tried to somersault but failed, so he had to use his hands and feet to get up, and lowered his voice and squeezed out words from between his teeth: "Why are you still here?"
Li Sui pinched his face and said, "Why can't I be here?"
Look at what you are asking. No matter how you interpret it, you shouldn't be on my bed right now! Zhu Yanyin pushed him and said, "Hurry up and get out of the window."
Li Sui put his arm around his waist: "Sleep a little longer."
"I don't want to sleep anymore." Zhu Yanyin pushed his face away with both hands, but she used too much force and Li Sui's head hit the bedpost with a "bang".
Zhu Yanyin: “…”
Zhu Xiaosui heard the noise and pushed open the door herself: "Master, I will help you wash up."
Zhu Yanyin quickly covered Li Sui with a blanket, and held the bed curtains tightly with both hands. He only stuck his head out and said calmly: "Is everyone ready?"
"It seems like not yet. It's still noisy outside." Zhu Xiaosui came over and wanted to help Zhu Yanyin get out of bed.
"Wait!" Mr. Zhu's expression was stern.
Zhu Xiaosui was frightened: "What's wrong?"
Zhu Yanyin had no experience in this area, so he could only change the subject: "I would like to sit for a while longer. Has the inkstone from Mr. Xu from the north city been delivered?"
"Not yet, but it's not time to leave yet. If you don't come later, our people will go and get it ourselves." Zhu Xiaosui said, "The gifts that the young master asked for are already prepared, a painting of 'Shepherds in the Blue Sky' and a set of Baishan Go, both good things."
Zhu Yanyin: “Yeah.”
Zhu Xiaosui ordered the servants to bring toiletries to the house, and then said, "I also bought a collection of poems by Mr. Xu and put it in the carriage for you to read on the way. I heard from the waiter at the inn that whenever he writes poems, the price of paper in Hecheng will increase. But he is too lazy and loves to drink, so he is in a daze all day long, wasting his talent."
"Isn't talent meant to be squandered?" Zhu Yanyin kicked the dishonest person away in the quilt, and said, "You go out first, I'll clean up myself."
Zhu Xiaosui curled her lips and said, "Since the young master got closer and closer to Palace Master Li, he has ignored me."
Zhu Yanyin's attempt to cover up his mistake only made it more obvious. That's not true. Besides, Palace Master Li and I are not that close. We are still the same as before.
Li Sui pinched him in the bed curtains.
Zhu Yanyin: Go away!
Zhu Xiaosui said confidently: "In the past, the young master would vomit when he saw Palace Master Li, but now he doesn't vomit anymore."
Li Sui exerted force.
Zhu Yanyin immediately looked serious. What do you mean I vomited when I saw Palace Master Li? That was because I had a stomachache and it had nothing to do with Palace Master Li. Palace Master Li was an upright person with great martial arts skills, handsome appearance and outstanding demeanor. I fell in love with him at first sight and admired him sincerely. Don't talk nonsense about whether to vomit or not in the future.
Zhu Xiaosui: It's over, my son has a fever again, listen to this nonsense.
So she went to see Doctor Jiang crying.
Zhu Yanyin finally sent the book boy away, and without even turning his head, he quickly tried to slip off the bed, but was dragged back. The scholar was powerless to tie up a chicken, let alone a demon, so he had to cover his mouth and said, "I haven't washed yet, don't kiss me!"
Li Sui pinched his ear: "Who said I want to kiss you?"
Zhu Yanyin continued to moan, "If you don't want to kiss me, then don't kiss me. Just let me get off the bed."
Li Sui refused to let go, and not only that, he also bit a tooth mark on his neck. He was extremely cruel.
Zhu Yanyin was lying on his back on the bed, his clothes were crumpled and rolled up by him, looking completely unattractive, like old pickles in a jar.
Alas, there is really no way.
There is a big gap between reality and the novel. At least in the novel, the devil would lie on the huge black stone bed in a domineering and evil manner and feed grapes to the sweetheart in his arms after the incident... not counting the morning after the incident, but the devil Li just crumpled the Jiangnan cake and then left contentedly, which was very immoral.
Zhu Yanyin lay on the bed with his back facing up, thinking, this might be a fake demon.
Zhu Xiaosui helped his son wash up quickly, then went downstairs to see if Boss Xu's men had arrived. Zhu Yanyin didn't want to eat breakfast alone, and Li Sui was still talking to the people in Wanren Palace, so he walked over to Jiang Shenglin's room and asked, "Together?"
"I was just about to look for you." Jiang Shenglin put away the medicine bag. "Xiao Sui came to me just now and said that you had a fever and were talking nonsense. What's going on?"
Zhu Yanyin: "I don't have a fever, I just praised Palace Master Li."
Jiang Shenglin wanted to continue asking, why did you suddenly praise Palace Master Li. But then he changed his mind and thought, they had just been to the inkstone shop last night and received a gift, so it was natural to praise it, which was normal.
Zhu Yanyin ordered the servants to bring breakfast to the house: "I have something else I want to ask the doctor."
Jiang Shenglin nodded: "You go ahead."
What Zhu Yanyin wanted to ask was related to Li Sui’s past.
“Palace Master Li and Chi Tian are brothers, and their initial skills were similar. After Chi Tian injured Palace Master Li with his Moon-Devouring Evil Skill, isn’t there a huge gap in the skills between the two now?” Not to mention the sixteen guardians who followed suit to take advantage. No matter how you look at it, the two sides don’t seem to be evenly matched.
"When I found him under the snow cliff, he was only breathing his last breath and his internal strength was also weak." Jiang Shenglin said, "But he has recovered now."
Zhu Yanyin was surprised when he heard this: "Come back from practicing?"
Jiang Shenglin said: "He has amazing talent. He saved his life in just half a year. He started practicing from the beginning and became more proficient. At the beginning, I could still figure out the direction of his internal energy, but later on, it became more and more weird, like the deepest lake, and others could no longer see the bottom."
Zhu Yanyin thought in admiration, how amazing.
"For so many years, he has been obsessed with killing Chi Tian, and he has been practicing martial arts every day." Jiang Shenglin said, "But Chi Tian is not idle either. He keeps using the Moon Devouring Evil Art to devour other masters, and his sixteen minions are also constantly stirring up trouble. No one can figure out their movements. All they know is that those who are targeted by the Burning Fire Palace will have no choice but to die."
Zhu Yanyin said: "Yes."
Seeing his worried expression, Jiang Shenglin comforted him, "But Chi Tian has been avoiding Palace Master Li and is unwilling to confront him head-on. I guess he is still wary and not sure he can win, so..."
"So what?"
"So one day of delay is one day of delay."
Li Sui was badly injured on the snow cliff, and although he recovered from his kung fu, he still had a lot of old injuries that could not be cured. He only focused on practicing kung fu these years, and only asked Jiang Shenglin to keep him alive, and never took a day of rest. In addition, he had a bad temper, which often made the doctor's blood rush to his head, and he was so angry that he almost fainted.
Zhu Yanyin knew the meaning of "the longer you delay, the better". Chi Tian knew Li Sui's injuries and determined that he would not live long, so he had been avoiding him, just waiting for all his old injuries to relapse at the same time, then he would become truly invincible.
That’s a nice thought.
Can a prominent family in Jiangnan be brought down so easily
Are you kidding? That's impossible.
The second young master Zhu had already consciously "looked" at Li Sui, and was ambitiously thinking, what could a mere Snowfield Demon Sect accomplish? Look at my uncles and brothers, who are not masters at stirring up trouble - who wouldn't be able to stir up trouble
He walked downstairs in a fairy-like manner, ready to go find Li Sui to discuss important matters. As a result, he saw a carriage coming and a beautiful woman came out of it. She was wearing a wide robe with wide sleeves, was more than eight feet tall, and had a beautiful appearance. She could at least be called "the beauty of Hecheng".
The girls passing by said: “Wow!”
Zhu Yanyin greeted him warmly: "Boss Xu, why did you come here in person? Please come in and have a cup of tea."
Xu Yunzhong said, "I will go north with you."
Zhu Yanyin was stunned: "Ah?"
