It was late at night, and Chu Xinian still slept in the same bed with Xie Jingyuan tonight.
The green-stemmed trees outside the courtyard had been cut down, and nothing was planted. The diamond-shaped windows were misty and white under the moonlight. The guards on duty outside were no longer covered by the swaying shadows of the trees. They occasionally swayed their bodies, and their movements were magnified.

The system's prompt sound rang intermittently in Chu Xinian's ears, and it was particularly clear in the dark night.
Xie Jingyuan had fallen asleep. Somehow, when Chu Xinian put on the jade pendant in front of him today and promised to take good care of it, his darkening degree had been decreasing intermittently.
Chu Xinian felt as if he had found some rules, but also as if he hadn't. He consciously stroked the jade pendant around his neck, and for the first time in his life, he felt sleepy, troubled by a well-known emotion.
Xie Jingyuan realized that he had completely let down his guard against Chu Xinian. He turned over in the dark and continued to sleep in the other's arms, fitting him tightly.
Chu Xi didn't want to steal any confidential list at that time. Even if he emptied the entire General's Mansion, Xie Jingyuan would probably find out. He slowly reached out his hand, pulled the quilt for Xie Jingyuan, and hugged him tighter for a few more seconds, then continued to think about things, not feeling that there was anything wrong with their posture.
Just for heating.
What Chu Xinian is thinking now.
The system's diamond-like body slowly approached him, like a human being observing something intently. Chu Xinian was a little dizzy and finally looked at it: "What's wrong?"
There was something wrong with his system, and in fact there was indeed something wrong with the system.
The system's tone was solemn, as if Chu Xinian was a heartless man: Do you still remember what you promised me
"… "
Chu Xinian actually remembered it very well. After thinking for a moment, his mind was still blank. The only thing he could be sure of was that he had not done anything unscrupulous to the system: "Promise what?"
The system felt that it was really unlucky. Every time it bound something, the host and the task object had a weird feeling, which really affected its performance.
It was so angry that it said incoherently: You... you big liar, you are so... so good at having feelings for the mission target, and you two actually slept together!!
The system thought Chu Xinian was more reliable than the previous host, so it was lazy and dormant for two days without paying attention to the direction of the drama. Unexpectedly, when it woke up, the two of them had developed to this point? !
#It's old, but it's out of date#
Chu Xinian's eyelashes trembled when he heard this, and he actually felt a little flustered as if someone had poked his finger at his heart. The system's words were like a sharp needle, poking a hole of varying sizes in the window paper, and no one knew how big or small the hole would get.
"… No."
Chu Xinian denied it in a calm voice.
The system has no hands. If it had hands, it would have grabbed Chu Xinian's shoulders and shook them madly, asking with tearful eyes: Honey, do I trust you
Chu Xinian thought the question was too naive and refused to answer it. He waved the system's shiny body away from his eyes and politely said, "It's early. I should rest."
Diamonds have always been a popular thing among people, but the system is an exception. It is an object of disdain wherever it goes.
You'd better not lie to me, huh~
It wiped away its existing tears and disappeared in mid-air.
Chu Xinian saw the system leave, thinking about what the other party had just said, and fell into deep thought. He lowered his head to look at Xie Jingyuan who had fallen asleep, and realized that their posture was too intimate and far exceeded a certain safety limit.
"… "
Chu Xinian was silent for a long time, and finally gently pulled away Xie Jingyuan's hand on his waist, and decided to go back to sleep on the couch. However, as soon as he moved, the other party seemed to have noticed something and opened his eyes, and his voice was hoarse and sleepy: "Chu Xinian...?"
Chu Xinian didn't answer, and didn't know what to say for a moment. He saw Xie Jingyuan staring at him, and after a few seconds, he could only lie back down slowly: "Nothing..."
They were very close. When Chu Xinian spoke, his handsome eyes were right in front of him, and his breath, wrapped in the chill of the night air, tickled his ears.
Although Xie Jingyuan opened his eyes, his consciousness was still confused. He only saw Chu Xinian move his lips and seemed to say something, but only a few words were clear. The jade ornament on the other party's neck was exposed from the collar, which was very beautiful against his slender neck.
Xie Jingyuan half-closed his eyes, still dreaming. For some reason, he reached out and grasped the jade pendant around Chu Xinian's neck, then pulled him over, stared at him for a long time with a pair of sleepy eyes, and suddenly kissed him without warning.
"!"
Chu Xinian was stunned by his kiss. The warm and soft touch of his lips was so clear in the dark that he thought he was having an illusion. His usually calm expression finally showed a slight crack.
After Xie Jingyuan finished everything, he lay back down and went to sleep. Only that hand was still tightly grasping the jade on Chu Xinian's neck. It can be seen that he was very willing to give it to her.
When Xie Jingyuan was dreaming, he was probably cursing Chu Xinian.
Damn it, she not only dared to take it from other people's purses, but also dared to wear it close to her body, forcing him to exchange it for the family heirloom jade pendant.
Damn it.
"… "
Chu Xinian raised his hand a little late and touched his lips. Even if he was slow, he knew that kissing was something that should happen to the person he liked. Xie Jingyuan was an ancient man, so he might have learned Western etiquette and used it to express friendship.
Xie Jingyuan was sleeping soundly. His right face was buried in the pillow, hiding all the scars. His left face, as smooth as jade, was exposed to the air, covered with a layer of dark blue by the night, and the whole person seemed to be cut in half, allowing people to see the past clearly.
Chu Xinian lowered his eyes and looked at him quietly, thinking that Xie Jingyuan might be sleepwalking, and finally decided to pretend that nothing had happened. He slowly lay back in his original position, pulled the quilt again, and closed his eyes.
You can panic, but you need to stay calm...
The more urgent the situation, the more you need to stay calm...
Chu Xinian repeated it silently in his mind several times, and his chaotic thoughts finally calmed down and he fell asleep.
The next morning, the courtyard was quiet. Yunque felt very strange. General Xie was a late sleeper, and so was Chu Xinian. Usually, they both woke up before dawn, so why did they get up so late today
Yun Que didn't dare to knock on the door to disturb them, so she had to stand on tiptoe and secretly look into the window, but saw that Xie Jingyuan had woken up, but Chu Xinian was still asleep.
Just like a drunk person would remember some things intermittently the next morning, Xie Jingyuan also had some residual memories when he woke up in the morning. He always felt like he was possessed by a demon, and when he saw Chu Xi's face close in front of him, he leaned over and kissed her.
Of course, the most important thing is whether it was a dream or not.
It's okay if it's a dream, if so...
Xie Jingyuan leaned his head, his thin eyebrows slightly wrinkled for a moment, and his fingertips flicked lightly and rhythmically, revealing a few entanglements. He glanced at Chu Xinian's sleeping face, his eyes fell on the other's beautiful lips, wondering whether he kissed her yesterday or not
Unfortunately, Chu Xinian didn't wake up, and Xie Jingyuan couldn't find any clues from him.
"Chu Xi Nian..."
Xie Jingyuan whispered his name, and then lightly touched the jade pendant on his neck with his fingertips. He curled his lips slightly, and his heart finally felt better.
Because of the bed curtains blocking the view, Yun Que could not see clearly. She saw Xie Jingyuan lowering his head and almost kissing Chu Xinian. She was very surprised and stood on tiptoe to see more carefully.
However, at that moment, she felt a sudden pain in her shoulder, and a low and cold voice rang in her ears: "What are you peeking at?"
Yun Que was startled and turned back subconsciously, only to see Jiuyong's dead face, angry and annoyed. She shook her shoulders and shook off Jiuyong's hand, with a bit of embarrassment after being caught: "Who is peeking at me!"
Jiuyong sneered: "Xi, I knew you had good intentions, and now I've finally caught you, and you still dare to deny it?"
Yun Que's face turned red, and he dared to speak loudly, stamping his feet in anger: "Shh, who are you?!"
What a lie!
There was a branch under her feet, and it broke with a crisp sound, which was louder than the sound of their conversation. Xie Jingyuan realized something was wrong and finally came back to his senses from Chu Xinian. He looked out the window with sharp eyes: "Who's outside?!"
His voice was cold and he was obviously angry.
Jiuyong and Yunque were both stunned, not knowing how to respond for a moment.
Xie Jingyuan took the mask and put it on, then got out of bed in his outer garment. He pushed open the window and saw Jiuyong standing outside. He frowned and asked, "Why is it you?"
Jiuyong paused, then held the sword and apologized: "General, please forgive me. I was patrolling outside just now and accidentally stepped on a dead branch and broke it. Please punish me, General."
Xie Jingyuan's frown remained tight: "What's your answer to the question just now?"
Jiuyong hesitated and said, "Your subordinates... Your subordinates..."
Xie Jingyuan had sharp eyes and noticed a pink corner of clothing exposed in the corner. He glanced at Jiuyong and wondered when this loyal subordinate had learned to lie. He said coldly, "Go and accept the punishment yourself."
He was extremely strict in disciplining his army, and the same was true of the rules in his mansion.
Jiuyong had followed Xie Jingyuan for many years, so he had no idea that Xie Jingyuan had discovered his lie. He immediately knelt on one knee and said, "General, please forgive me."
Xie Jingyuan glanced at him without saying anything. After a long while, he said, "Next example."
No one knows what happened after making the second mistake in Xie Jingyuan, because many people lost their lives when they made the first mistake. Jiuyong followed him for many years and was spared.
The window was closed with a slight sound. Yun Que heard the noise and stood up from the corner with a guilty conscience. She pursed her lips and prepared to thank Jiu Yong, but he didn't even look at her and left the courtyard to receive his punishment.
"Why… "
Yun Que was about to say something but hesitated, and wanted to raise his hand to call him, but he was a beat too late and Jiuyong had already seen his figure.
Chu Xinian was finally awakened by the noise outside the window. He opened his eyes dazedly, only to see Xie Jingyuan sitting beside the bed in his clothes. He suddenly remembered what happened last night and woke up immediately.
"General?"
Chu Xinian subconsciously sat up from the bed and saw Xie Jingyuan wearing his inner clothes with only an outer garment on his shoulders. He looked towards the window with a change of expression: "What happened?"
Yun Que was Chu Xinian's maid, so if there was any punishment, it should be him. Xie Jingyuan would not take over. He lifted the quilt, stretched his legs lazily inside, and asked with a smirk, "Your maid eavesdropped on me, Chu Xinian, how do you settle the score?"
It seems like he is going to launch an expedition to hold someone accountable.
Chu Xinian raised his eyebrows when he heard this. He knew Xie Jingyuan was trying to trick him. He reached out and held down Xie Jingyuan's cold and twitching legs, and asked with a half-smile, "May I ask who the general is talking to?"
Xie Jingyuan was wearing his inner clothes and definitely had not left the house.
There were only the two of them here, Chu Xinian had just woken up, and Xie Jingyuan might be talking to himself.
Xie Jingyuan chuckled, thinking that Chu Xinian had really taken advantage of him. "Your maid violated the rules of my general's mansion, Chu Xinian, how should I punish her?"
Although Chu Xinian knew what happened, Xie Jingyuan should be able to explain it, and Yun Que must have been caught by him: "In this case... then fine her three months' salary."
Xie Jingyuan raised his eyebrows: "Just?"
A little bit of blood is also called punishment
Chu Xinian pretended to understand what he meant and smiled: "Then punish her to buy rouge and powder for another three months."
Xie Jingyuan stared at him: "You really are a person who cherishes flowers."
Chu Xinian felt that if he continued to discuss this topic, he would end up talking about yesterday's purse. He lifted the quilt and said, "It's early, General, come with me to see how the thief who stole the painting is doing."
"urgent."
Xie Jingyuan suddenly held him down, leaned over, and almost fell into Chu Xinian's arms.
Chu Xinian was afraid that he would fall, so he subconsciously held onto his shoulders, but Xie Jingyuan simply let the force take over and fell on top of him: "Chu Xinian..."
He was really cold, and every time Chu Xinian touched him, he resisted the urge to hug him. Chu Xinian reached out and pulled the quilt over him, saying in a low voice, "Hmm?"
Xie Jingyuan stared into his eyes and stammered, "You last night..."
Chu Xinian's heart tightened, but his face showed it, and his tone was calm: "What happened last night?"
"Last night..." Xie Jingyuan slowly approached him, and when he spoke, his slightly cold lips almost touched Chu Xinian's warm earlobe: "Did I kiss you last night?"
He was of evil nature, so he asked without any hesitation.
Chu Xinian's mind went blank when he heard this. His ears were buzzing and he didn't even know what he had said. He subconsciously answered, "Of course not."
Xie Jingyuan frowned, looking a little suspicious: "Really?"
Chu Xinian held down his restless hands, trying to act as calmly as before, and smiled: "General, of course you didn't kiss me, why are you asking?"
There is no...
Xie Jingyuan stared at Chu Xinian for a long while, then slowly got up from his arms and fell into deep thought, thinking that it was really a dream.
Seeing that he was asking again, Chu Xinian just brushed it off, and his heart was relieved. He sat up from the bed, ready to put on his clothes and go to see the thief, but suddenly he felt a warm touch on his cheek, and was kissed, and he froze suddenly.
"Chu Xinian, you can only accept other people's purses and let others kiss you in the future, do you understand?"
Xie Jingyuan thought that it would be more reassuring to eat the fat meat himself, so what was the point of having it hanging in front of him every day? Yesterday, the woman got there first when he threw the purse, and if someone else got there first again, then his face would be in tatters.
After he finished speaking, he put on his clothes and went out without paying any attention to Chu Xinian's stiff state.
Chu Xinian was speechless, and the clothes in his hand fell directly to the ground: "..."
