The mattress collapsed slightly, and Yu Yuan's breathing came from behind him.
Yan Mu flinched a little uncomfortably.
She somewhat regretted the hot-headed decision just now.
But thinking of Yu Yuan's scars all over his body, Yan Mu couldn't refuse.
So Yan Mu decided to pretend to sleep with his back to Yu Yuan.
Yu Yuan didn't care that Yan Mu was very close, there was about ten centimeters between him and Yan Mu.
The skins of the two did not touch, but Yan Mu could clearly feel that the boy's breath was spraying on her ears, bringing bursts of tingling itchiness.
Inexplicably, Yan Mu felt his ears burn.
Her ears were red, and her body trembled slightly because of the excruciating itching.
She bit her lip, but she couldn't hold back after all, and turned around to face Yu Yuan.
In the pitch black, Yan Mu couldn't see the boy's face clearly.
Naturally, she didn't know how close she was to the boy.
The moment she turned around, the tip of her nose was just barely close to touching the boy's nose.
"Why haven't you slept yet?" In the darkness, the boy asked hoarsely.
He has almost passed the voice change period, and his voice is no longer hoarse and ugly, but has the deep voice of an adult male.
But Yu Yuan is a young man, and his voice is clear and smooth.
These two seemingly contradictory adjectives are mixed together, but they have a different kind of moving voice.
Yan Mu's eardrums vibrated slightly, and the numbness came again.
It's just that it's not her ears that are numb this time, but her beating heart.
Yu Yuan's handsome and sinister face appeared in Yan Mu's mind, and he immediately felt that this would not work.
She moved her body a little away from Yu Yuan.
Yan Mu put the pillow between the two of them, and said seriously: "You are not allowed to go over this pillow."
"… it is good."
She couldn't see Yu Yuan's expression, but when she heard Yu Yuan agreed, Yan Mu immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Yan Mu wrapped herself into a ball and fell asleep with her back to Yu Yuan.
Yu Yuan turned his head away.
A strand of Yan Mu's black hair went over the pillow and fell to his side.
He carefully twirled his hair and stroked it gently.
Yan Mu didn't notice it, her breathing was long and gentle.
Yu Yuan lowered his eyes.
He quickly lowered his head and sniffed at the strand of black hair.
Still that sweet taste.
But it seems to have some other fragrances.
The corners of Yu Yuan's lips curled up into a contented smile, he stroked the lock of hair, and quietly closed his eyes.
***************
The next day, when Yan Mu opened his eyes, Yu Yuan was no longer on the bed.
She opened her eyes in confusion, and suddenly realized a very serious problem.
... Father Yan got up early to do farm work, so he probably found Yu Yuan sleeping with her.
Yan Mu was frightened by his cleverness, and immediately became sober.
She washed up as quickly as possible, and then came to the lobby.
In order to entertain Chu Cong, Yan's father killed a chicken.
Yu Yuan was processing the chicken blood, while Chu Cong watched curiously.
It's quite harmonious, it doesn't look like they've quarreled.
Yan Mu breathed a sigh of relief and waved towards Yu Yuan.
After Yu Yuan saw it, he said a few words to Chu Cong, and then came over.
"What's wrong?" Yu Yuan has grown a lot taller recently.
He was originally only half a head taller than Yan Mu, but now he is a full head taller.
Yan Mu remembered that the height he set for Yu Yuan was 1.8 meters.
It seems that the child's nutrition has kept up recently, and the growth and development are also fast.
Yan Mu was very pleased in his heart.
"Our business..." Yan Mu glanced at the two of them, and asked in a low voice, "Didn't they find out?"
"I went out very early, and Father Yan didn't see it." Yu Yuan paused at this point, "It's Chu Cong, Chu Cong knows about it."
"Then he..." Yan Mu's heart tightened.
"He wanted to say it." Seeing Yan Mu's panicked expression, Yu Yuan snickered maliciously, and then said with a straight face: "Later, I threatened him that if he dared to speak out, wait for his family to come When looking for people, I told them that Chu Cong is afraid of mice."
"Pfft." Yan Mu laughed, "You did the right thing."
Chu Cong is a young man with strong self-esteem. He has always been proud of being the son of the queen. He will never allow his "black information" to spread.
Seeing that Yan Mu not only showed no displeasure, but also had a smile on his face, Yu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.
Sure enough, only Ah Mu would accept the truest self.
Yu Yuan's eyes became more and more gentle.
Father Yan finished processing the chicken and was about to make soup, but saw that there was no ginger in the house.
Raw meat is not easy to preserve in summer, so he asked Yan Mu to go out to buy ginger.
"Uncle, I'll accompany her." Yu Yuan said.
Considering Yan Mu's personal safety, Father Yan nodded.
Chu Cong looked at Yu Yuan and Yan Mu's eyebrows, and remembered Yu Yuan's resignation yesterday and the threat to him today, and suddenly became angry.
"Uncle, I also want to go together." Chu Cong said.
He only said that he wanted to see the scenery in the village.
He was a guest, so Father Yan would naturally not ask him to stay at home to help, so Chu Cong smoothly interposed between the two of them.
Yu Yuan gave him a cold look, which made Chu Cong feel a little nervous.
He thought that Yu Yuan was just a grassroots person, and his slight fear disappeared immediately.
He finally understood that Yan Mu was Yu Yuan's bottom line.
Anything that has anything to do with Yan Mu will cause Yu Yuan to lose his mind.
Chu Cong hated Yu Yuan's threats to him wholeheartedly, and he didn't want to make Yu Yuan feel better.
He followed Yan Mu wherever he went, without giving Yu Yuan any chance to get close.
Yu Yuan's eyes became colder and colder, but it was not easy to get angry in front of Yan Mu.
Chu Cong saw that Yu Yuan's suppressed face turned blue, and he felt extremely relieved in his heart.
The two came to the ginger shop with such a struggle.
As soon as Yan Mu raised his head, he was dumbfounded after seeing the ginger seller clearly.
It turned out to be the male student who released the caterpillar.
The male student was also very surprised when he saw Yan Mu. He looked at the two people beside Yan Mu, and immediately showed a comprehension expression on his face.
"Yan Mu, are you here to take revenge on me for letting the caterpillars go?" The male student sneered, "That's right, he usually looks obedient and sweet, but he turns out to be like this in private."
"You've been investigating me in private since you went back, right? You even know that I'm helping out in my aunt's shop. It's really scheming." The male student said more and more vigorously.
"... What caterpillar?" Yu Yuan sensitively sensed that something was wrong.
His eyes looked at Yan Mu's wrapped hands, as if he had thought of something, his eyes suddenly became cruel when he looked at that person.
"Stop pretending." The male student looked disgusted, "After knowing that I made you allergic to your hands, Mr. punished me from going to school for three days. What else are you dissatisfied with?"
…
Yan Mu raised his forehead.
She felt like she was losing control of the situation.
So, before the situation got out of control, she said: "You misunderstood, we are just here to buy ginger."
"Hmph." The male student snorted coldly, "Not for sale."
Yu Yuan remained silent, looking at the man with more gloomy eyes.
The feeling of oppression that went deep into the bone marrow made the male student break out in a cold sweat almost instantly.
He straightened his waist, as if to cheer him up, and said stiffly: "It's bad luck to see you and Yu Yuan, and there is a sissy around him, don't sell it!"
Chu Cong watched from the sidelines in a cloud of mist.
Although he didn't know anything, Chu Cong sensitively picked out the key point - the person in front of him had bullied Yan Mu, and even called him a sissy.
This is not bad!
A pariah, dare to insult the prince!
Chu Cong was angry.
He is elegant and demeanor, a gentleman like jade, he is not a sissy! ! !
He has always been afraid that the world will not be chaotic, and he has received the favor of Lao Yan's family, so naturally he will not expose this matter easily.
Besides, no matter how bad it is, with the identity of the prince still covering him, who would dare to touch him then
So Chu Cong smiled, and said slowly: "Not for sale? Believe it or not, the young master knocked down your shop?"
"Don't, don't, don't." Yan Mu was anxious, "We can't afford to pay now."
All her manuscript fees were spent on buying food and daily necessities, and she had already spent almost all of it.
She really didn't want to spend any more unnecessary expenses.
She wasn't worried about Yu Yuan. After all, Yu Yuan was doing things secretly in order to protect himself, so that no one could find evidence.
But Chu Cong is different, she knows Chu Cong too well.
Chu Cong's personality is cynical, duplicity, smart but not hardworking, a dude prince who is afraid of chaos in the world.
She was really afraid that Chu Cong would blow up his shop.
Yan Mu now feels a headache.
She felt that none of the pups in her book were normal.
If time could go back, Yan Mu would rather not open that book.
Seeing Yan Mu's anxious expression, Chu Cong almost blurted out that he could afford it.
But he was afraid of revealing his identity, so he could only endure it reluctantly.
He looked at Yu Yuan, but saw that Yu Yuan threw a few copper coins over, took a piece of ginger and left.
Although the male student was angry in his heart, he was afraid that Yu Yuan and Chu Cong would beat him up, so he could only swear and curse from the bottom of his heart, not daring to really chase after him.
The three of them took ginger and returned home.
Father Yan had stewed the chicken a long time ago. After adding ginger and cooking wine, the chicken soup was even more fragrant.
Yan Mu drank two big bowls.
The tip of her nose was sweating from drinking, and just as she put down the bowl, a chicken leg appeared in the bowl.
She looked up and found that it was Yu Yuan.
"You should eat." Yan Mu's heart ached when he thought of Yu Yuan's scars.
So she put the chicken legs into Yu Yuan's bowl.
"I don't like to eat chicken legs, I like to eat white meat." Yu Yuan said.
"It's delicious. This is a pure free-range chicken. The skin of the drumstick is waxy and tough, and it's very fragrant." Yan Mu knew that Yu Yuan was lying because he was reluctant to eat it.
Yu Yuan glanced at the chicken leg, his Adam's apple rolled slightly, then shook his head firmly.
Good things should be given to Amu.
About this point, Yu Yuan is very conscious.
Chu Cong watched the two of them back and forth, and suddenly a bad taste filled his heart.
"Miss Yan, since Yu Yuan said he doesn't like eating chicken legs, why don't we share the same chicken leg?" Chu Cong said innocently.
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a cold gaze fall on his face.
"Although I like to eat white meat, since Ah Mu said that chicken legs are delicious, then I'll eat them." Yu Yuan felt depressed when he remembered that Chu Cong was going to eat the same chicken legs with Yan Mu. .
As if deliberately trying to annoy Chu Cong, Yan Mu just cut the chicken leg into two, and he quickly ate the chicken leg.
Father Yan witnessed the whole process from the side, thought it was Chu Cong's greedy mouth, and said, "Good boy, uncle's chicken legs will be shared with you."
Chu Cong's expression froze, as if he hadn't expected this direction.
Although he likes to play pranks, he still knows the basic etiquette and shame.
He borrowed from other people's house and even robbed the chicken legs of the head of the family. This is too shameful.
"No need..." Before he finished speaking, Father Yan put the chicken leg to Chu Cong.
Just as Chu Cong was about to take the chicken legs back, he saw that Yan's father had already picked up the bowl and started cooking the rice.
Chu Cong's eyes flickered slightly, he knew that Yan's father did it on purpose, just to prevent him from pinching him back.
He was silent for a moment, then put the chicken legs back into the bowl, and began to eat in small bites.
*******************
In the dead of night, Yu Yuan begged for the same bed again like last night.
There are two things in everything, and Yan Mu has no resistance to Yu Yuan's face.
So tonight, Yu Yuan also succeeded in climbing the bed.
Yan Mu gradually became numb from being uncomfortable at the beginning.
It's been a while since her last life was renewed, and her body began to weaken again.
So Yan Mu fell asleep not long after.
After Yan Mu fell asleep, Yu Yuan opened his eyes.
His eyes were clear and clear, without the slightest blur from just waking up.
He rolled over lightly and got off the bed, then left the room.
He changed into the clothes he was going out, and as soon as he opened the courtyard door, he heard a familiar voice behind him.
"I knew you wouldn't sleep." Chu Cong said.
Yu Yuan turned his head and saw that Chu Cong had also put on his clothes, a flash of understanding flashed across his eyes.
"What have you prepared?" Chu Cong leaned over and asked.
"Crotou." Yu Yuan took out a bag of things, "What about you?"
Chu Cong smiled and opened the bag in his hand.
It turned out to be a whole bag of caterpillars.
Yu Yuan raised his eyebrows, and said, "It's too obvious what you did, they will know who did it as soon as they guess."
"So what if you know?" Chu Cong said with a smile, "I just marked the signal nearby, probably tomorrow, the servants will come to me. If the villagers find out that they are going to make trouble, just suppress it by force."
"Suppression?" Yu Yuan's eyes darkened, and he said nonchalantly, "Do you have many servants?"
"...It's okay." Chu Cong said after being taken aback for a moment.
He was afraid that Yu Yuan would ask again, so he hurriedly walked ahead.
Yu Yuan stared at Chu Cong's back and thought.
Wealthy families, being hunted down, fleeing, and having many servants can directly suppress the villagers.
Little by little clues are connected in series.
A bold guess suddenly appeared in his mind.
Yu Yuan followed Chu Cong silently.
If Chu Cong is really what he thinks, then everything may be turned around.
He was completely tired of this village, and he wanted to leave here with Ah Mu and Father Yan.
And Chu Cong is a key turning point.
In Yu Yuan's mind, a big gamble was going on.
Therefore, he did not stop Chu Cong from releasing the caterpillars.
The two climbed over the wall and came to the male student's house, and they split into two groups with a tacit understanding.
Yu Yuan went to chin the beans, and Chu Cong went to release the caterpillars.
Chu Cong rode on the sleeping male student, and tiptoed into the bedroom.
He first poured a lot of caterpillars into the man's bed, and then he saw the trousers on the ground, and deliberately threw a few into the trousers/crotch.
After the two finished these things, they quietly left here.
***************
In the early morning of the next day, there was a knock on the door of Lao Yan's house.
Yan Mu opened the door in a daze, only to see a group of villagers surrounded by the door.
The villagers were passionate, and they became even more disgusted and angry after seeing Yan Mu.
"The witch!"
I don't know who picked up a stone, raised his hand and threw it towards Yan Mu's face.
