"Frey hasn't come back yet?" She remembered that Frey had gone back to his hometown to prepare for his sister's wedding. Otherwise, Zhai Mu would not have driven the Marshal's Mansion car to pick her up.
"Yes, it probably took a long time. After all, he hasn't been back for many years. The marshal specially asked him to take more time." Not only was Leng Yiyao keenly aware of the clues, but he himself realized it more clearly. Since the last incident in the harbor, the marshal gradually allowed him to take over some matters in the marshal's mansion. Even though these are just trivial things now, he has already taken a big step.
"Joining the army is not an easy task." She smiled, opened the car door, and got in on her own. Logically speaking, people like Frey are almost the same as confidential secretaries. With how much Hemo values him, he may soon be gilded. If we don't take this opportunity to go home and take a good look, I'm afraid we won't have such an opportunity again in the next few years. Therefore, no matter whether your situation in the military is good or bad, you cannot help yourself after all. She thought of Rhodes, who had excitedly told her in the morning that he wanted to go to a military academy and have since transferred to the military. She couldn't help but shook her head, and her eyes fell on the trees outside the window, shining slightly.
"You seem to be in a good mood today." Zhai Mu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. Ever since he met Leng Yiyao, she had never been a sentimental person. He suddenly made such a sigh, and he didn't know why. But, judging from his expression, at least he was in a happy mood.
"Maybe." She raised her head and smiled gently at him, without revealing any more information.
That day, after returning from Maple Leaf Forest, her attitude was very clear. She won't say anything about what Hemo wants to do, and letting things take their own course is the best thing. In this world, no one's affection is without reason, and no one's affection can be so deep without reason.
Their marriage was never a match made at first sight, but she did not refuse the domineering and unique company of such a person.
It is said that companionship is the longest confession of love. Perhaps, when she left the maple forest, she had already realized that she would spend more and more time with Hemo in the future.
Zhai Mu raised his eyebrows and wisely said nothing. The journey to the Marshal's Mansion was extremely smooth without any delay.
When she entered the courtyard, the guards who had gone to City D with her before saluted instantly: "Miss Leng!"
It was like a subconscious and spontaneous action, exactly the same as the action when meeting the superior. It flowed smoothly and imprinted in my mind, and the expression was respectful and smooth.
Leng Yiyao was stunned for a moment. She hadn't seen them for just a few days. How come the behavior of these people was exactly the same as the reaction of the ordinary class students when she walked to the main road of Shengde High School.
"You don't have to be so polite." She waved her hand. She, an ordinary civilian, was treated so politely by a group of lieutenant colonels...
etc… .
Leng Yiyao paused for a moment and looked at their brochures with a calm expression.
I haven’t seen you for a few days, and you’ve been promoted from colonel to colonel
When did it happen
"Congratulations everyone." Her eyebrows relaxed slightly, the corners of her lips raised, revealing a beautiful smile.
The expressions of these grown men immediately looked a little naive, and they seemed to not know how to move their hands and feet. I know that this little lady is beautiful, but it is a pity that she is too young, so the marshal has to keep watch over her. But I didn't expect that her smile was like parting the dark clouds and seeing the bright moon, as if it could illuminate a person's heart in an instant. Although she is still young, her style makes her the perfect choice.
"TOEFL, TOEFL." The six people who had just been promoted to colonel raised their hands with a shy expression, which was completely different from the domineering look they had standing in D City at that time.
Zhai Mu looked amused and almost couldn't hold back his laughter. Leng Yiyao looked at him with a slightly confused look. Compared to these six, his promotion was slower. Didn't he feel anything else
Leng Yiyao clearly didn't say anything, but Zhai Mu seemed to understand her mentality and shrugged subtly, "I'm still too young."
In one sentence, it couldn't be clearer.
Yes. In this empire, there are only a few people who are promoted to colonels at a young age. Frey is one of the most important personal guards of Hemo, and these six people are all old men in the commander's mansion. They are all qualified in terms of seniority and age. Only Zhai Mu, although he also went to D city, he Still too young. It was already an exception to be promoted from the military circles of D City to the imperial capital. If he continued to make exceptions, it would not be appreciation, but his destruction.
"It just so happens that we brothers are celebrating together tonight, Zhai Mu, you can also join us." The six colonels looked at each other, and one of them simply extended an invitation. On the one hand, he wanted to leave time alone to Marshal and Leng Yiyao. On the other hand, in D City, Zhai Mu was a local gangster who was very helpful and they all remembered his role.
"Okay." He smiled and bowed to Leng Yiyao with a sense of current affairs, "Then let's go first."
Is this to bully her into not knowing how to drive and plan to keep her overnight at the Marshal's Mansion
Leng Yiyao watched dumbfounded as the seven people disappeared in front of her eyes in an instant, as if they were in a hurry to drink. She couldn't help but shake her head helplessly.
"Why is that person laughing?" A low, ascetic voice came from behind, accompanied by the moonlight, which could almost make people feel numb all over.
Leng Yiyao had long been accustomed to this man walking quietly, and was not surprised at all that he would appear in the yard: "Look at the people under your hands, racking their brains to help you clear the way, I can't help but sigh, you are so popular." good."
You can tell whether a person is truly respected by others just by looking at their eyes.
Those few people have not only a superior-subordinate relationship with Hemo, but also a relationship that is willing to do anything just to make Hemo show a satisfied look.
"Clear the way?" Sometimes he was curious about the way she spoke. It was a bit weird, but when he thought about it carefully, it was very expressive.
Leng Yiyao nodded and smiled, then changed the direction of the schoolbag in her hand, "With Frey gone, wouldn't the Marshal's Mansion be more deserted now?"
Yes, it's a bit deserted.
Helmer hadn't thought it was a big deal before. He has too many things and very little free time every day. When he is a little free, he would rather read a book and relax. But ever since he met her, he seemed to want to keep her by his side all the time. Even if you just look at her lowering her head, leaning slightly and opening her mouth to eat, you will feel very satisfied.
"Did you receive a warm welcome in class today?" He gently opened his eyes and pointed.
The first heiress in the empire, not to mention causing a sensation in D City, was no exception in Shengde High School where aristocrats gathered. After all, she created another piece of history. Since the founding of the Empire, no woman has ever matched her in this regard.
"Want to hear the truth?" She rubbed her shoulders, and her black hair slowly rippled along the movement of her shoulders and neck, as if water was flowing.
Humer's eyes fell on her hair, "Of course."
"Envy, jealousy, and hatred can't escape these three points. There's nothing to say." Warm welcome? is it necessary? She is not a great person. On the contrary, from a secular perspective, she "tricked" her family members in order to have such rich assets. A group of wealthy nobles applauded and celebrated her? impossible. The little soul roaring like crazy is pretty much it. On the contrary, the students in the special class were much more open-minded and far-sighted, so she didn't feel uncomfortable at all.
"Are you not feeling well?" He rarely saw her rubbing her shoulders like this. Hemo couldn't help but frown. He was about to ask the military doctor to come, but she shook her head helplessly: "I played the piano for a long time today, and my arm I used too much force on my fingers and it’s just a little sore.”
"Playing the piano?" Helmer couldn't help but be slightly lost in thought. In his impression, she seemed to have never mentioned this matter. It was too abrupt. He had already withdrawn his informants from Shengde High School, but he didn't expect that she would do this again.
Judging from the Leng family's family, it was not surprising that she could play the piano, but judging from her personality, he felt that she was not the kind of leisurely person.
"Yes, I also became a teacher." Thinking of the gentle and peaceful smile on Teacher Qin's face, Leng Yiyao couldn't help but sigh. Only this kind of woman who has experienced the pain of a noble family and tasted the sadness, but can still live her own life, is the one with great wisdom. In this world, women are born to endure more than men. Even if she had an international reputation at the beginning, so what could she do and end up in a hasty divorce? Fortunately, she was not discouraged and still lived out her own style.
This kind of woman, even if she appears gentle and carefree on the surface, is the most admirable for her strength in her bones. Therefore, even if there is no reason for M, she has always been polite to Teacher Qin.
"It seems that your extracurricular life is quite rich." He shook his head helplessly. Playing the piano is related to but not related to physical problems. Although physical strength is the most supportive, the location of exertion is not the same. Especially the fingertips and arms, when they suddenly start to be closely connected, the muscles and joints will automatically send signals. "There's no use rubbing it like this."
He watched her hair tremble slightly in the air following her movements. For a long time, he looked away, as if he was suppressing something.
"How about finding a masseuse?" In fact, she wasn't in pain. Even if she was sore and uncomfortably swollen, she just wanted to rub the knot on her shoulder away. A SPA would be perfect at this time. However, if you think about it, you will know that Hemer is not the kind of person who wants to do a spa at home.
"Go to the backyard." He took a step forward, naturally took the schoolbag from her hand, and smiled lightly.
"Huh?" Backyard? Why does this word sound a bit ambiguous just by listening to it
Before Leng Yiyao expressed his opinion, Hemo had already taken the lead. The entire Marshal's Mansion was so quiet that even the guards on patrol didn't know where they had gone. Leng Yiyao shook his head and smiled helplessly, always feeling that he had accidentally dug a hole for himself.
Since her master invited her, she no longer avoided it, and followed Hemmer's footsteps, crossing the lawn and courtyard, and heading north along the tree-lined path.
After walking through a cobblestone road, Leng Yiyao finally felt a trace of moisture surrounding the tip of her nose.
"Did you build a pool inside?" The climate in the Imperial City is relatively dry, and it is not normal to have such humidity.
"No," he paused and pointed to the smoke in the distance: "It's a hot spring."
Wen…. spring? ….
There are hot springs in such a desert country
This is the first time Leng Yiyao has heard of such a thing happening!
The key is that she never knew that Hemo had the habit of soaking in hot springs.
Probably because Leng Yiyao's expression was too weird, Hemo couldn't help but pause when he turned around, and then chuckled: "These hot springs flow from the high mountains behind the mountains and have a history of hundreds of years. The water temperature is maintained at 37-43 degrees Celsius all year round, which is the best for Relieves muscle pain.”
Leng Yiyao nodded. Hot springs are generally rich in trace elements such as calcium and magnesium. They are indeed the best way to relieve muscle pain.
The hot spring is shaped like an open-air bath. It is not particularly big. It is surrounded by rockeries and seems to be well hidden. At least, there are no high-rise buildings or high ground nearby. It should be very comfortable to soak in it, right
She stared helplessly for two seconds without making any move.
But Hemo had already turned around: "I'll get you a bathrobe, you can do whatever you want."
Ahem...
As a modern person, Leng Yiyao found that unknowingly, she seemed to be even more unable to let go in front of Hemo. However, she is a woman. Open-air hot spring... .
However, the subtle soreness in her shoulders and elbows left her with almost no time to think about it, she just wanted to bury herself in the warm water.
Without any resistance in her mind, she walked directly to the hot spring pool with white rock walls and took off her clothes bit by bit.
In the imperial capital in late autumn, the nights are getting cooler and cooler, and it is no longer the same feeling under the warm sunshine during the day. The breeze gradually picked up, picking up the corners of her clothes, and finally, one by one, they fell on the clothes hanger next to her, until she soaked in the spring, and her whole body let out a sigh of contentment.
It's been a long time since I've enjoyed such a wonderful taste. She closed her eyes slightly and leaned back, leaning against the rock wall. The water barely blocked the rise and fall of her chest.
He raised his head and saw a sky full of stars. The bright stars seemed to be able to speak, falling into his eyes in a flash.
The sore and swollen muscles seemed to be opened instantly, so relaxed that there was no discomfort at all. The heat on the body and the coolness on the rock wall merged together one after the other.
At this moment, all the hustle and bustle was far away from her, and she seemed to have fallen into a new world.
The chirping of insects hums rhythmically in the ears, like walking on a field path. It is a feeling of wantonness, without anyone's attention or any restraint, as if people are lifted from layer to layer. Completely liberated from the package.
"Is it so comfortable?" Not far away, he looked at her enjoying face and couldn't help but smile softly. The flawless white skin seemed to have a touch of moisture. On his cheeks, for the first time, he saw a touch of rosy color that was almost beautiful. Those lips were wet, as if they were soaked, with a watery sheen. The skin exposed on the rock wall had a slight trace of sweat, mixed with the curling smoke, making it look more and more like a mortal.
The most important thing is her eyes.
It has always been filled with smoke, making people unable to guess their thoughts, but at this moment, it is full of joy. It is a kind of beauty emanating from the bottom of the heart, which makes people go crazy.
"Have you never tried it?" Leng Yiyao turned her head and glanced at him lightly. He couldn't believe that he would never try it if such a scarce resource was placed in his own backyard. Besides, with a history of hundreds of years, such hot springs are inherently different from the "artificial hot springs" mined by others. In addition, it is located in the Marshal's Mansion and has a unique terrain, so it is impossible for outsiders to come here. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the most luxurious enjoyment.
"I tried, but..." He lowered his eyes gently, and subconsciously rubbed his fingers on her bathrobe for a moment before slowly letting go: "I always feel that the expression on your face is very enjoyable."
Leng Yiyao hummed without commenting.
Although I knew that there was no teasing in Hemo's words, I still felt that if he said these words so late at night, with a different tone, they would have a completely different meaning.
Probably because the water temperature was too comfortable, she closed her eyes and sighed slightly, feeling unprecedentedly satisfied: "Thank you for helping me with that bathrobe."
A gentleman should not take advantage of others' danger.
He seems to have been here for a long time.
She raised her eyebrows and glanced at Helmer with a vague look.
The other party's eyes were following her back, passing over her fever.
Probably, getting wet really has a special magic.
For a person who is usually so cold and simple, a string of water drops flowed down from the collarbone, wetted the ends of the hair, fell on both sides of the shoulders and neck, and stuck to the texture of the skin, so beautiful that it was almost alluring.
She did not cower and deliberately block her body. On the contrary, her calm and calm eyes made people feel that she was not taking a bath in a hot spring, but was calmly holding a book and meditating under the moon.
But such a look, such charm, is clearly enchanting...
However, she still looked unaware and looked at him coolly, as if she was talking softly to him.
Helmer felt that he was really doing his own thing.
I thought silently in my heart, she was just seventeen years old. He glanced at the bathrobe next to him again to make sure it was compacted and wouldn't be swept away by the wind. Then he turned around and waved his hand, "You can do it yourself. Don't soak for too long. Be careful. Things turn out badly."
Looking at the other person's figure gradually entering the night, Leng Yiyao's eyes gradually turned dark, and finally, the wind was light and the clouds were light and the clouds were rolling and relaxing...
At night, there was no sound of other people's voices, and peace and quiet returned.
She was lying half-lying, and gently cut the water with her right hand. There was an enchanting smell in the ripples of the water.
"It would be great if I could have this kind of enjoyment every day." After a long time, she suddenly sighed, picked up a handful of hot springs, and patted it on her face. Moisture vapor surrounded her whole body, even her eyes and body were a little more moist.
"You can do it anytime you want." A low voice suddenly came from not far away. The voice was a bit hoarse than before, as if this person's voice had an extra layer of gloomy magnetism.
Leng Yiyao was aroused by the sudden voice and had goosebumps on her back. She didn't know whether it was because the voice seemed to be ringing slowly in her ears, too close, or because of the hint of emotion in the speaker's tone. It means something, but it has a profound meaning.
After all, even the back is slowly covered with a hint of bright red.
Her eyelashes were wetted by the hot spring, and she trembled slightly for a moment. She did not rush to open her eyes, but her breathing gradually slowed down and calmed down. She raised the corners of her lips and smiled softly: "I didn't expect that you have a voyeuristic habit."
Her whole body felt slightly hot, not because she was angry, but because she felt it was unbelievable that this person was just peeping, so why did he make his voice heard? Are you afraid that she doesn't know
She couldn't help but bite the corner of her lip. She shouldn't be soaking in the open-air hot spring. Although my body is not my original one, I still feel that I am at a disadvantage!
She shook her head helplessly, not bothering to open her eyes to see where he was. Before, if you couldn't find him, you knew that his skills had reached the peak. After all, he was the god of the military world, so there was no need to test his abilities. But now I discovered that it turns out that there is such a thing behind me, is there such an operation
Peeping
Helmer gently followed the water surface, causing ripples. Is he this kind of person
"I forgot to tell you that there are two hot springs in my backyard."
The sound is clear and close to your ears. It's like it can penetrate into people's hearts and land in the most vulnerable and innocent places. From then on, it remains fresh in the memory and can no longer be forgotten.
Sure enough, his smile echoed slightly by the circular open-air hot spring pool. It was so close that it was easy for people to forget that there was still a gap between them.
Leng Yiyao suddenly opened her eyes and looked around, and sure enough, he was not there. And his voice passed through the rockery, waiting for teasing and teasing...
Who told her that this man has never been close to women and has never had close contact with women!
From enjoying the scenery in the maple forest to soaking in the hot spring next door, it has always been unexpected and unconventional.
This man may appear to be ascetic and cold-blooded, but in fact he is clearly capable of seduce people, and his methods are endless and innovative!
