"Mu Qi, you sleep first." Yun Shu Nian immediately got out of bed, but was quickly pulled back by Mu Qi.
"Mu Qi, you sleep first." Yun Shu Nian met Mu Qi's phoenix eyes, swallowing the words "I'm not sleepy yet."
"Together." Mu Qi gently kissed Yun Shu Nian's forehead, soothingly.
Yun Shu Nian opened her mouth but finally said nothing.
After Yun Shu Nian obediently lay on the inner side, Mu Qi also got into bed and lay on the outer side.
Looking at Mu Qi's profile so close, Yun Shu Nian suddenly realized, could Mu Qi be thinking of…
Yun Shu Nian slowly covered her chest with her hands, her heart gradually speeding up.
Although Yun Shu Nian was a bit tired today, she wanted to be close to Mu Qi even more now.
It's just that Mu Qi carried her all the way today. Would Mu Qi's stamina…
Thinking of today, Yun Shu Nian's thoughts once again drifted to their intimacy in the forest, and her cheeks instantly flushed with the same heat.
Just as the movie in Yun Shu Nian's mind was playing intensely, her eyes were suddenly covered.
"Mu Qi?" Yun Shu Nian came back to her senses.
"If you keep watching, neither of us will sleep." Mu Qi's voice was much lower. Yun Shu Nian suddenly realized something and lightly hit her head.
How could she forget that she had put something in the bowl of water for Mu Qi?
Moreover, Mu Qi probably didn't remember what happened last night.
Yun Shu Nian lay on the bed, quietly waiting for Mu Qi to fall asleep, then getting up to watch over him. However, with her eyes forced shut, smelling Mu Qi's scent, Yun Shu Nian quickly fell asleep, unable to resist.
At this moment, Mu Qi, who should have fallen asleep quickly, opened his eyes, the heavy sleepiness in them undeniable.
He still moved closer to Yun Shu Nian, burying his breath in her neck, one hand reaching under her neck, the other arm tightening around her slender waist.
…
"Yun Shu Nian, you think a broken chain can lock me up?" The chain tied to Mu Qi's left wrist was suddenly pulled down by Mu Qi and flung to the ground.
Mu Qi walked step by step towards Yun Shu Nian, his large hand gripping her throat.
A suffocating feeling surged.
"Mu..." Yun Shu Nian could only manage to speak, tears of distress flowing.
Then Mu Qi flung her against the wall, pointed at her, and warned sternly, "The person I love has always been Shan Gong. You'd better not set your sights on him."
After speaking, Mu Qi turned and left without any hesitation.
Yun Shu Nian, thrown against the wall, looked at Mu Qi's retreating figure and hoarsely tried to stop him, but Mu Qi never turned back, as if without a trace of lingering attachment.
As soon as Mu Qi's back completely disappeared, Yun Shu Nian suddenly woke up. The fabric ceiling came into view, but the resolute Mu Qi from her dream was vividly etched in her mind.
Suddenly, a ticklish sensation on her neck brought Yun Shu Nian back to reality. Yun Shu Nian turned her head, and Mu Qi's face, which she never tired of looking at, appeared before her eyes.
Thinking of the Mu Qi in her dream, Yun Shu Nian hurriedly turned her head away, not wanting to face him.
Would she and Mu Qi really become like they were in her dream one day?
Yun Shu Nian carefully removed Mu Qi's hand from her waist, then quietly got out of bed and sat on the edge, maintaining a certain distance from Mu Qi.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
Yun Shu Nian thought for a moment, looked at the broken headboard, and then tied the chain to a bed leg.
Then she turned and opened the door.
The old man, with his hands behind his back, appeared before Yun Shu Nian.
Yun Shu Nian: "What is it?"
Yun Shu Nian's expression was calm, her emotions unreadable.
"Cough, come here." The old man pulled Yun Shu Nian, wanting to lead her outside. However, Yun Shu Nian glanced back at Mu Qi, then stood as firm as a mountain.
Since when did his Little Nian Nian have so much strength?
The old man looked at Yun Shu Nian, who hadn't moved an inch, and wiped the non-existent sweat on his forehead.
Yun Shu Nian: "Say it here."
"Cough, Little Nian Nian, I remember last time I asked you to go up the mountain to see an old person. Why did you suddenly stop sending news?"
Although it had only been more than ten days since she stopped sending news, he had been quite distressed because of this old man during this time.
Later, thinking that Yun Shu Nian probably didn't want to learn anymore, he had let it go.
The old man always remembered what Yun Shu Nian had said when she bid him farewell back then.
Don't disturb her life!
And this time, Yun Shu Nian had seemed strange when she arrived, so the old man hesitated several times to speak, delaying it until now.
"I apologize, but I was kidnapped, and then Mu Qi was injured, so I forgot to inform you. I'm truly sorry." Yun Shu Nian bowed slightly to the old man.
The old man bowed back. When had his precious disciple ever used respectful terms with him? He was truly flattered.
"Who? Who dares to kidnap my good disciple? Your master will settle this score for you." The old man was furious when he realized. How could he let someone bully the treasure he held in his palm?!
"No need, it's all in the past. I've already educated her."
The old man then looked Yun Shu Nian up and down, confirming she wasn't injured, before he was relieved.
The old man glanced at Mu Qi, who was lying on the bed, then whispered in Yun Shu Nian's ear.
"Good disciple, what is your relationship with the man inside?" The old man looked at Yun Shu Nian, absolutely refusing to believe that things were as Mu Qi claimed…
That it was foreplay.
Yun Shu Nian's face turned cold: "I can't tell you."
"Cough, Little Nian Nian, are you really playing foreplay?" the old man asked incredulously.
"No!" Yun Shu Nian's face, which had been a little cold from the night breeze, suddenly became burning hot.
Upon hearing this, the old man put on a pitiful expression: "Then, Little Nian Nian, when will you come to study with me?"
Yun Shu Nian's gaze turned back to Mu Qi: "I don't know."
The old man followed Yun Shu Nian's gaze.
He understood.
Well, so the key point was still this Mu Qi!
"A handsome disaster, a disaster," the old man muttered softly.
"Mu Qi is not a disaster!" Yun Shu Nian's crescent eyes narrowed, and a fierce aura began to emanate.
"Okay, okay, Little Nian Nian, I misspoke." The old man raised his hands in a gesture of surrender.
Yun Shu Nian was about to issue a further warning when her shoulder suddenly became heavy, and a warm breath sprayed into the hollow of her neck.
