As the door curtain of the inner room was lifted up inch by inch, the beautiful figure lying in front of the square table came into Feng Shuo's sight.
Before coming to the military camp, Jiang Yanyi changed into clean clothes on the boat. Her crescent-white flowered skirt was trimmed with apricot-colored gauze, and the gauze was embroidered with flower garlands in gold thread, which gleamed faintly under the candlelight, looking simple and elegant, yet ethereal.
Jiang Yanyi fell asleep with her hands on the table. In this position, her dress clung to her waistline, and her long silky hair made her waist look even thinner, almost impossible to hold.
The military tent was stuffy on a summer night, and she did not sleep comfortably. The heat evaporated the porcelain-like skin on her face, turning it a faint pink, as if a thin layer of rouge had been applied. Under the lamp, it looked like a painting of a lady by a famous artist.
Feng Shuo stood at the door, staring in fascination.
After a while, he let down the curtain, tiptoed into the room, walked to the table and helped Jiang Yanyi tuck her messy hair behind her ears.
Seeing her obviously tired face, Feng Shuo's eyes, which were always decisive and ruthless, also showed a trace of heartache, and his voice was hoarse and somewhat magnetic: "Idiot, what are you doing here?"
Jiang Yanyi was asleep, so it was impossible for him to respond to her. He just scratched his face with one hand and took a long breath.
Feng Shuo sat down beside the table, gently stroking Jiang Yanyi's long hair with his big hands, his eyes never leaving her face from beginning to end.
After a while, thinking that Jiang Yanyi would be comfortable sleeping like this, Feng Shuo got up, found a quilt and spread it on his originally hard bed, then put a bamboo mat on it, then carefully picked up Jiang Yanyi and put him on the bed.
Although this action was light, it still woke Jiang Yanyi up.
She saw Feng Shuo with sleepy eyes. Just as joy flashed in her eyes, it was immediately replaced by pain, and her facial features were almost wrinkled into a ball.
Feng Shuo thought she was injured and he had accidentally touched her. His expression suddenly became frighteningly cold: "What's wrong?"
Jiang Yanyi moved her hands and feet with difficulty, and found that her limbs were severely numb. She dared not move immediately. She said bitterly, "My hands and feet are numb."
Feng Shuo hadn't expected this to be the reason. After the false alarm, he was amused by her and said, "Just press it to relax the muscles and activate the blood circulation."
He just pressed Jiang Yanyi's calf, and Jiang Yanyi screamed out uncontrollably. He felt as if the part of his calf was bitten by thousands of ants, and it was numb and painful.
She cried, "Don't, it hurts..."
This soft voice, which sounded like crying but not crying, was really touching. Coupled with her tearful expression, Feng Shuo's eyes darkened instantly.
He sighed: "Why are you so annoying?"
She probably didn't know how much people would want to bully her because of her current appearance.
Jiang Yanyi's feet were still numb and he felt very uncomfortable, so he had no time to pay attention to him.
However, Xing Yao and several guards who were standing outside the tent heard the woman's moans coming from inside and looked at each other in surprise.
Xing Yao had gone with Feng Shuo to survey the terrain earlier, and didn't know that Jiang Yanyi had come to the Hengzhou camp. He immediately looked at the guard beside him with a sharp gaze: "Who is the woman in the tent?"
He has followed Feng Shuo for many years, and Xing Yao knows better than anyone how much Feng Shuo values Jiang Yanyi.
The two of them were already engaged, and if a troublemaker showed up at this time, not to mention what the Chu family would think, just based on Jiang Yanyi's fierce temper, Xing Yao felt that this marriage would most likely fail.
The guard didn't recognize Jiang Yanyi. Seeing Xing Yao asking with a stern face, he thought Xing Yao was afraid that the woman's identity might be problematic and would harm Feng Shuo, so he hurriedly said, "I don't know. It was General Han who brought her here. I heard that the girl's surname is Chu, and she came all the way from Xizhou to deliver medicinal herbs to the military camp."
He came from Xizhou, his surname was Chu, and he was received by Han Tuo personally.
Who else could it be besides Jiang Yanyi
Xing Yao instantly put his heart back in his stomach, looked at the midnight snacks on the tray and said, "I'll have to do this for you."
***
Inside the tent, the numbness in Jiang Yanyi's hands and feet had finally eased. She then realized that she had fallen asleep earlier and was sweating due to the heat. The clothes inside were sticking to her skin and felt sticky and uncomfortable.
She pulled her collar and asked Feng Shuo, "Can I take a shower here?"
Feng Shuo's eyes fell on her delicate collarbone that was exposed due to her loosened collar, and he said slowly: "There is a river outside the camp, the water is very clear."
Jiang Yanyi noticed his gaze and glared at him.
Instead of restraining himself, Feng Shuo put his arm around her waist and brought her into his arms.
His forehead rested against Jiang Yanyi's forehead, his tall nose rubbed against her small nose, his dark eyes were also entangled with Jiang Yanyi's eyes, and their breaths were filled with each other's scent.
There was clearly no kiss, but this seemed to make people blush and their hearts beat faster than a kiss.
Jiang Yanyi couldn't stand being stared at by him and turned her head away to avoid his sight, but Feng Shuo clamped her chin with one hand and pulled her back.
"Why did you come?" He was too close to her, and his warm breath sprayed all over Jiang Yanyi's cheeks when he spoke, making her feel itchy, as if ants were crawling on her cheeks. The already sultry summer night was filled with another kind of dryness.
Jiang Yanyi looked into his eyes and said, "I missed you and was worried about you, so I came here."
Feng Shuo stared at her, with all kinds of emotions surging in his eyes. He gently touched her face, and when his hand went behind her head, he lowered his head and captured her lips.
Maybe it was due to his mood, Jiang Yanyi actually felt that this kiss was more lingering than any other before.
If Feng Shuo hadn't supported her waist, she would hardly be able to stand.
When Feng Shuo pulled her belt, she finally woke up and pushed Feng Shuo away, "I'm sweating."
Feng Shuo didn't respond, but just buried his head in her neck and kissed her, telling her the answer with his actions.
He was breathing heavily, his eyes seemed to be burning with fire, and his hands kneading her body were not gentle at all.
Jiang Yanyi hissed in pain and pushed him again: "It hurts."
This time he finally stopped, but buried his head in her chest and did not get up for a long time.
Jiang Yanyi could feel the hot breath from his breath through his clothes.
She looked anxious and whispered, "I want to take a bath."
Feng Shuo rubbed her twice through her clothes, and when he looked up again, the lust in his eyes had finally faded a little.
He said, "I'll ask someone to go to Huotouying to fetch some hot water."
Jiang Yanyi hurriedly called him: "Do you usually bathe in the tent?"
"It's something that can be solved by flushing two buckets of water at the river. There's no need to bother." Feng Shuo knew what Jiang Yan was worried about and comforted her: "Don't worry, no one dares to gossip."
Jiang Yanyi said: "I'd better go to the river."
Late in the evening, Feng Shuo returned to the military tent and ordered for hot water, which really made people think a lot.
Moreover, Feng Shuo herself never bathed in the military tent, so there was definitely no bathtub. The people under her would have to go to great lengths to find a bathtub for her. Jiang Yanyi felt ashamed just thinking about it.
If she lives an ordinary life in the future, she will do whatever she wants and won't mind other people's eyes.
But after marrying Feng Shuo, she was destined not to walk an ordinary path in the future. If she wanted to control others, she had to establish her prestige. If these gossips spread, it would be detrimental to her reputation.
Seeing that she insisted, Feng Shuo didn't say anything else. He took off his armor, rode his horse and took her out of the camp.
The river he mentioned was not far from the camp, and it would only take less than half a quarter of an hour to get there by horseback.
The moonlight is beautiful tonight. Even without a lantern, you can see everything around you clearly. Shrouded in the glow of the silver moon, there is a hazy beauty.
Feng Shuo carried Jiang Yanyi off the horse and said, "Go to the river to wash. I'll wait for you here."
Jiang Yanyi asked him, "Aren't you going to the river to wash?"
"I'll go after you come back." Feng Shuo raised his eyebrows and said, "Or do you want me to take a bath with you?"
Jiang Yanyi ignored him and went to the river.
The river water was cool and almost instantly took away the accumulated heat in the body.
Jiang Yanyi squatted by the river to wash her face. When she looked back, she found that Feng Shuo and the horse were gone. She was so scared that she immediately turned back to look for them, holding up her skirt and shouting, "Feng Shuo? Feng Shuo?"
There was a rustling sound coming from the woods next to them. Jiang Yanyi's hair almost stood on end. It turned out to be Feng Shuo coming out of the woods.
He held a bundle of firewood in his hand and asked, "What's wrong?"
Jiang Yanyi saw the firewood in his hand and guessed what he had been doing, but he still felt a little aggrieved. He said, "I turned around and found that you and the horse were gone."
Feng Shuo said with a smile: "I have found a place to tie up the horse. Are you still worried that I will abandon you and run away?"
Jiang Yanyi didn't want to admit that he was a little scared being alone in the wilderness in the middle of the night, so he said stubbornly, "I'm worried that you'll get attacked."
Jiang Yanyi himself didn't quite believe what he said.
Feng Shuo laughed twice and said, "You're more credible if you say you're afraid that I'll be taken away by a tiger."
Jiang Yanyi glared at him, then went back to the river with her skirt in hand.
Before taking off her clothes, she glanced towards the shore and found Feng Shuo sitting with his back to her. He had built a fire not far from the river. The light from the fire could even shine directly over here. She felt a lot more at ease.
She had already showered and changed clothes before coming to the military camp, but she started sweating later and her clothes were sticky and a little uncomfortable. After soaking in the water, she felt refreshed instantly.
After taking a bath, she simply scrubbed her clothes.
Feng Shuo was sitting not far away, like an old monk in meditation, the fire beside him was crackling and burning, and the sound of water splashing could be heard not far away. Only he knew what kind of torment this was.
"Feng Shuo!" Jiang Yanyi's scream suddenly came from the riverside. Feng Shuo turned his head instantly, but found that there was no one by the river, only the clothes that Jiang Yanyi had worn before were still floating on the sparkling river surface.
His face suddenly changed, and he hurried to the riverside, waded into the river, but what he grabbed was just an outer robe.
He was worried that Jiang Yanyi would drown, so he dived into the deep water without hesitation, but suddenly someone bumped into his arms.
When Feng Shuo lifted the person out of the water and found that she was still laughing heartlessly, he really wanted to strangle her to death.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Jiang Yanyi, I..."
He couldn't say the rest of the words as Jiang Yanyi wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him.
Feng Shuo subconsciously wanted to hug her back, but he didn't know where to put his hands and feet - although she was wearing an inner garment, the fabric was thin to begin with, and now it seemed as if it was nothing after being soaked in water.
The string in Feng Shuo's head was about to break, and his only rationality forced him to distance himself from the two of them. His voice was hoarse and he said, "Jiang Yanyi, do you know what you are doing?"
There were still drops of water on Jiang Yanyi's long eyelashes, and her wet long hair was scattered on her shoulders. She half-closed her eyes and replied, "I know."
There was a hint of charm in her cold expression, as if she were a water demon.
But the man who usually loved to steal her scent in various ways, at this moment, stood in the water like a statue, motionless, and the sound of rushing water around him became inexplicably harsh.
Time seemed to flow especially slowly at this moment. Jiang Yanyi didn't know how much time had passed, but the courage in her heart to devote herself to him wholeheartedly had turned into regret and embarrassment.
When she was in a panic and wanted to escape, Feng Shuo suddenly stepped forward and hugged her tightly.
"Is it stupid?"
His voice sounded steady, but she could only discern the subtle tremor in it. In his eyes was a burning passion and devotion that she could not see. "How could I bear to touch you before you married me in such a grand ceremony?"
His A Yi deserves the best in the world.
