"How far did you run?" Chu Xingchen asked distressedly.
Zhou Buyan paused after hearing this, "No... not that far."
"It's not that far and you're coming back now? It's not that far and you're sweating?" Chu Xingchen didn't believe a word of it, "Why don't you tell me how far you ran."
"It's just...thirty miles."
Thirty miles round trip is no joke.
"If there are no fireflies, there won't be any. Why are you running so far away?"
Zhou Buyan shook his head, "It's okay at this distance. I will definitely be able to catch it again next year, next year."
"No." Chu Xingchen shook his head, "If we have time next year, we can go see it directly. You don't want to catch it for me."
She didn't want him to work so hard anymore.
Zhou Buyan had been regretting not catching more fireflies, but then he watched Chu Xingchen happily put the fireflies into the star lantern with him.
Watching her try to touch the fireflies with fear and curiosity, I felt that my regret was made up for.
"Okay, keep them here with us tonight and let them go tomorrow morning."
"Okay." Zhou Buyan nodded, "I thought His Majesty would be disappointed with such a small amount."
"How could it be? Although the fireflies are very beautiful and I like them very much, but Zhou Buyan, the most important thing is that you gave them to me."
"It doesn't actually matter how many fireflies you have, it's your heart that matters most."
His thoughts are the most precious gift.
Zhou Buyan looked at Chu Xingchen's eyes that were brighter than fireflies, lowered his head and kissed her gently.
From the eyes to the nose to the lips, this kiss was different from the past, so gentle and full of nostalgia.
Chu Xingchen leaned against Zhou Buyan, looking at the fireflies and enjoying the quiet moment.
At this moment, they didn't need to say anything, but they were connected.
Finally, Zhou Buyan broke the silence, "Your Majesty, it's time to sleep."
I have to go to court every day.
"Yeah." Chu Xingchen agreed, but was reluctant to separate from Zhou Buyan.
They had been separated for so long before, and she was almost lovesick. How could she let go of them after finally getting together?
Chu Xingchen looked at Zhou Buyan, or else he would let Zhou Buyan sleep with him?
This is a good idea. Zhou Buyan is used to not sleeping. He is confused for about an hour a day, and he is not used to sleeping in a bed.
Chu Xingchen previously asked Zhou Buyan to rest every day, but occasionally she would wake up and see him secretly looking at her, or on the roof.
Chu Xingchen thought and felt confident. Yes, she just wanted to help Zhou Buyan change his habit. Sleeping more would be good for his health.
"Zhou Buyan, you never slept well before, do you want to hold me while you sleep?" After thinking about it, Chu Xingchen naturally extended his hand to invite.
Zhou Buyan didn't even think about it, "Yes."
Why is he so trained that he doesn't dare to sleep and can't sleep, yet he can sleep twelve hours a day!
Chu Xingchen also became interested, "Go and wash up quickly."
Chu Xingchen took advantage of Zhou Buyan to wash up and took away the big pillow on the bed to make room for Zhou Buyan. The two pillows were placed side by side and looked pleasing to the eye.
Zhou Buyan came back from bathing soon and lay down next to Chu Xingchen obediently.
Seeing that he looked like a wooden man again, Chu Xingchen deliberately approached him and said, "Zhou Buyan, let's play with a wooden man, shall we?"
"Wooden man?"
"You just pretend to be a wooden person. You can't speak, laugh or move. Whoever can keep it the longest wins. Now that you are a wooden person, our game begins."
Chu Xingchen was serious and eager to try, see how long you can endure it!
She put a hand on him, Zhou Buyan clenched his hand into a fist and did not move. Chu Xingchen directly put his arms around Zhou Buyan's neck, "Zhou Buyan, there is a kid next to you, and he is pulling your hair to play with."
Chu Xingchen wanted to scare Zhou Buyan, so he lowered his voice and his lips unconsciously touched Zhou Buyan's ears.
Zhou Buyan couldn't help but flinch as a tingling breath swept over him. Half of his body felt numb, but for a moment, his ears were as red as if they were dripping with blood.
Chu Xingchen thought he was scared and continued to scare him.
Zhou Buyan felt that his ears were burning to the point of panic, and even his face was getting hot. Just when Chu Xingchen let go of him, he couldn't help but pull at it with his hands, trying to relieve the heat.
It turned out to be useless, and even Chu Xingchen saw it.
Chu Xingchen said that he lost, but his eyes were attracted by Zhou Buyan's ears.
If a person is favored by God, not only will his facial features be picturesque, but his ears will also be exceptionally beautiful.
Zhou Buyan's ears were like white jade slowly turning into red jade, so beautiful that it was breathtaking.
Is it her masterpiece?
Chu Xingchen's gaze made Zhou Buyan sit up and said, "Your Majesty..."
"The ears are very nice, but there is only one... I think they should be in pairs."
Her hand touched the one on the right that was not yet red, "Do you want a kiss?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw it turning red visibly to the naked eye.
Isn’t this where the red spots are?
Zhou Buyan faced Chu Xingchen's gaze with shock and annoyance on his face. He covered his ears with his hands and averted his eyes somewhat helplessly.
But his face was still so red, not only his face, but also the exposed skin on his body turned pink.
Chu Xingchen was stunned, his heart seemed to be violently knocked away, and he felt numb for a moment.
She could hear her own heartbeat, thump thump thump.
At this moment, my heart was pounding.
For the first time, Chu Xingchen knew that this was what it felt like to have a pounding heart.
The air seemed to become thicker, and a fire burst out of her heart. She suddenly leaned forward and kissed Zhou Buyan.
He moved too fast and bumped his nose, which hurt a little, but Chu Xingchen didn't care.
"Zhou Buyan, I like you so much."
This moment is as sweet as a dream.
At this moment, Chu Xingchen just wanted to be with him.
But...Chu Xingchen looked at Zhou Buyan's belt. She had just pulled it off, but not yet.
The first step failed.
Chu Xingchen took a deep breath: "...Why don't you take off your clothes when you sleep?" Why are you still dressed so tightly when you sleep? Why can't she untie this belt?
Zhou Buyan paused for a moment and said in a hoarse voice, "You can get up at any time after getting dressed."
This way he can be prepared for emergencies at any time. He always wears this when sleeping and is used to it.
Many images flashed through his mind, and his heart almost jumped out of his chest. He was just about to say that he could teach Chu Xingchen how to explain it, when he heard Chu Xingchen say.
"There are shadows guarding you outside. You don't have to be on guard at all times. Now listen to me and take care of yourself."
After saying this, Chu Xingchen felt that she was just an evil female beast who forcibly married a civilian man, but this feeling... was really good.
Zhou Buyan's ears turned even redder, and His Majesty actually asked him to untie them himself.
He looked at the lamp next to him and thought of the scars all over his body. Although His Majesty had seen them before, they didn't look good.
He hesitated a little and wanted to ask Chu Xingchen if he could blow out a few lamps.
Chu Xingchen saw that he was not moving, "Why don't you move? You don't want to?"
"No." Zhou Buyan shook his head.
Then Chu Xingchen saw his knuckled fingers tremblingly untying the belt she had been unable to untie.
Chu Xingchen: This feeling of abstinence.
The belt is untied and the clothes are slowly loosened, revealing the clear collarbone bit by bit.
