Let Me Pursue You - Chapter 81
As soon as Lu Shiqing heard that he could “sleep in his arms” and “we’ll talk about it tomorrow”, he already thought about what name the baby should be born in the future. But he quickly restrained his daydreams, and decided to play it safe, hug her well first, after all, only when you keep your feet on the ground can you rise up step by step.
So he stretched out his arms and rolled her into his arms, because this time he was no longer afraid of revealing his wounds, so he faced her face to face.
Yuan Cixian was really tired, physically and mentally exhausted after a whole day, as if he had been beaten up, since her heart softened and agreed to sleep with him, she stopped struggling and just pressed against him and closed her eyes.
But her mind didn’t really rest, and her mind was still full of shadows of Lu Shiqing and Xu Shan.
In fact, she was not such a good-tempered person. She was willing to forgive because she calmed down and thought about it: If it were her, how would she choose.
In fact, Lu Shiqing never gave her the chance to really understand him. It wasn’t until tonight, when the two figures that had been split in half by him slowly reunited, that she finally understood what kind of person he was, and how difficult it was for him to live in this ever-changing city of Chang’an.
The political situation is turbulent, surrounded by enemies, he is walking a road full of thorns, a road that countless people are afraid of. He lives in the cracks, with a king like a tiger in the front, princes with wolf ambitions in the back, political enemies on the left who are aggressive with open guns and arrows in secret, and people who don’t know the truth on the right who give him the infamy of “running dog”.
Under such circumstances, he couldn’t help but be careful at every step, and he couldn’t help being cautious in his words and deeds. Every piece of thorns he cut down will pull the bright future of Da Zhou. If he is not careful, not only he who charged in front will be crushed to pieces, but even the entire dynasty behind him may be crushed.
Love is not the most important and precious thing in this world. Since you look at the world, you shouldn’t live too narrowly. Therefore, if she were Lu Shiqing, she would not easily reveal her dual identity and political side when she was first moved.
At this point, she had no reason to blame him. What’s more, in the past year, no one was really honest with anyone. She couldn’t tolerate her own concealment, but criticized his deception. This is not equal.
As for the deep friendship with each other later, he still didn’t say anything, and it was not impossible for her to understand. If he doesn’t say some things at the beginning, he doesn’t know how to speak after a long time. Otherwise, why would he bother himself, trying his best to use a hundred lies to complete the first one.
And in the process of making a lie, she was not the only one suffering.
How could Lu Shiqing fail to notice her affection for “Xu Shan”? She thought that the struggles and sorrows he had had were by no means less than hers.
After thinking about this, she already softened her heart a bit, and she couldn’t harden her heart and stand coldly on the sidelines when she heard Lu Shiqing, who was so proud, say such humble words in the mud.
So, she forgives him.
It’s just that forgiving is a matter of reason, but acceptance is an emotional matter. Right now, she has not been able to fully accept Shi Ran and fully integrate him and Xu Shan in her heart, so she found an excuse and wanted to consummate the marriage. Things dragged on, so it took a little time to slow down.
Her head was heavy thinking about these, and gradually she felt sleepy, but unexpectedly, the palm around her waist became hotter and hotter, so hot that she almost broke out in sweat.
She opened her eyes uncomfortably and looked up, only to see that Lu Shiqing hadn’t closed his eyes at all, and had been looking down at her for an unknown amount of time.
She met his gaze and sighed: “You don’t sleep, what are you looking at?”
Lu Shiqing explained: “I’m watching, you have two hairpins.”
“…” Oh, then it’s no wonder he read it with great interest.
But Lu Shiqing was serious, thinking that she was really in line with his wishes in every way, and even her hair was one longer than others, and she had a symmetrical appearance.
He was satisfied in his heart, but saw that the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, as if she thought he was boring and refused to talk to him, she turned her back and wanted to sleep peacefully.
With this back, his hand holding her was forced to slide to the other side of her waist, directly touching a hideous bulge through the thin layer of underwear.
Yuan Cixian trembled almost immediately, and shrank back into the bed, as if hoping that he would not notice.
However, Lu Shiqing had already touched this scar when she was stripping her wet clothes at the Shangzhou Post Station, and she didn’t feel any hindrance at all, but was surprised by her reaction, and moved her body to chase after her: “I have already I know, what are you hiding from?”
When Yuan Cixian heard the words and remembered that he drank too much wine at the time, he did tell about this scar to comfort “Xu Shan”, and he suddenly regretted it.
Seeing that she turned her back and did not speak, Lu Shiqing thought that she might be angry, so she apologized and said: “It was my fault for lying to you, but now I have scars too, so it is my own fault.”
Yuan Cixian shook her head, indicating that she wasn’t thinking about it, and then moved a little further away from him, hanging her head out of the pillow, explaining: “I only have one scar, which doesn’t deserve to be symmetrical.”
“…”
Lu Shiqing was angry and funny all of a sudden, she really didn’t know what was going on in her head, but after thinking about it carefully, it wasn’t surprising that she thought so. After all, he once used a mole as an excuse to reject Shao He, so she misunderstood and worried that he thought she was normal. After all, there is no girl who would not mind leaving scars, let alone, she met someone who was extremely picky like him.
But in fact, if she didn’t tell him, he didn’t think of the asymmetry of the scar at all. Even now that she has reminded her, she still doesn’t think it’s so unsightly.
Tell her to add a symmetrical scar? That’s too ridiculous. Doesn’t he feel bad?
Taking a step back, if he really resisted, he would rather poke his own eyes.
He reasoned with her: “Yuan Cixian, according to what you mean, do I have to stab myself again?” The wound on his chest was not symmetrical.
Yuan Cixian snorted: “I don’t know you, maybe that’s what you planned.”
Lu Shiqing choked, moved an inch further, leaned over and said, “I don’t mind this.” As if afraid that she wouldn’t believe it, he emphasized it again, “Really.”
After he finished speaking, he said, “If you don’t believe me, show me.”
Yuan Cixian looked back at him in surprise: “What’s so interesting about this?”
Lu Shiqing closed his eyes when he stripped her clothes last time, and he really didn’t recognize what caused the scar, and he was afraid that direct questioning would remind her of bad memories, so he wanted to see what happened.
He excused: “I’ll show you to show my sincerity. You can pay attention to my expression.”
“…” I’m afraid he’s out of his mind, she twitched the corners of her mouth, “Forget it, I trust you, don’t read it, go to sleep.”
But Lu Shiqing refused to give up: “I’ll just take a look, and I won’t eat you again. What are you afraid of?”
Yuan Cixian ignored it.
Seeing that she was determined not to take this provocative method, he had no choice but to hold back first, lifted the quilt and looked helplessly at the already stretched sore tent, waited for a stick of incense, and saw that she seemed to be asleep, and then cautiously poked around. He moved his hand over to lift the hem of her clothes, ready to take a sneak peek. Unexpectedly, as soon as he was holding a layer of clothes, he was “slapped” away by someone who should have fallen asleep.
The back of his hand turned red immediately, and he let out a “hiss” in pain, and then he heard her say: “Lu Shiqing, are you annoyed, and are you going to sleep?”
Isn’t she the one who doesn’t “give sleep”? He retreated silently, raised his head to the sky and let out a long sigh, and opened his eyes to look at the curtain above his head.
With a tiger and wolf who would only take off people’s clothes while they were asleep, how could Yuan Cixian sleep peacefully? Seeing that he didn’t close his eyes, he was afraid that he was planning to wait for an opportunity to move again, so he said: “Will you sleep after reading it?”
When Lu Shiqing heard that there was something going on, he hurriedly answered: “Yes.”
She gritted her teeth: “Just a glance.”
“Just one look.”
Yuan Cixian wanted to sit up more conveniently, but when she lifted the quilt, Lu Shiqing pressed her down: “Don’t bother, you can just lie down.”
After he finished speaking, he moved around, turned around, leaned a little towards the end of the bed, and stretched out his hand to remove her underwear. The movement was quick but small, only allowing her to show a part of her waist.
Yuan Cixian’s waist and abdomen felt cold, and she blinked three times in a row, feeling that such a situation seemed strange, but before she could figure it out, Lu Shiqing’s hand had already touched her scar, causing her to tremble slightly.
She hurriedly lowered her eyes to look at him, and seeing that he had arrived, she wanted to cover up the hem of her clothes, but she stretched out her hand but heard him ask, “Is it a gunshot wound?”
Lu Shiqing frowned and made a “Chuan” character, and rubbed her thumb twice on her raised scar. Judging from the shape of the wound, it looked like it was stabbed by a spear, and it was close to the waist, so it must have been a surprise attack. Fortunately, the injury was not deep and seemed to have been stopped in time, otherwise such a fierce move might have endangered his life.
His throat was dry, and he felt a sudden fear.
Yuan Cixian was distracted by these words. Seeing his pity, without the slightest hint of disgust, she nodded nervously, pretending to be relaxed and said, “It’s nothing, he’s just a traitor in the army.”
Lu Shiqing sighed, and said seriously: “Yuan Cixian, I read the letter you sent last time, and I didn’t pretend to reply to you, because I was afraid that the debts I owed would accumulate more and more, so I simply saved it. But I have to be careful now. Answer you once.”
She asked late, “Answer me what?”
“My wish is mine, and it has nothing to do with you. It’s all over the world, the north and the south, as long as I’m here, you won’t be able to use your skills in the four regions. Don’t wish to go through fire and water for Da Zhou.” He smiled. Laughing, “This chance to be immortalized in history is mine. Unless I die first, it will be your turn.”
She frowned: “What are you talking about…”
“Just to tell you, don’t go to the battlefield in the future.” After Lu Shiqing finished speaking, he frowned and looked down at her scar.
Only then did she realize that her clothes hadn’t been closed yet, and she said in a loud and embarrassing manner: “Read it and go to sleep.”
After Yuan Cixian finished speaking, she went to push his hand holding the hem of her clothes, but he clasped her wrist instead. Seeing him leaning down without warning, he put his lips on her scar, and licked it lightly. .
She was numb all over, almost jumped up in shock, and stared: “You…”
She already knew that he didn’t dislike him anymore, what was he doing!
Lu Shiqing prevented her from getting up with one hand, and prevented her from kicking someone with the other, and pinned her on the bed. Hearing her shortness of breath, he raised his head, and said with burning eyes: “Yuan Cixian, you’re even more sloppy.”
She asked tremblingly, “… what?”
The corners of Lu Shiqing’s lips curved slightly, and his eyes darkened, and he replied, “It’s the promised tomorrow.”
After a stick of incense, Yuan Cixian gritted his teeth and thought, no wonder Lu Shiqing became a high-ranking official. This kind of treacherous person who fights for every measure and won’t give up an inch should be able to accomplish great things!
But she’s not bad either, she smothered him to death!
Lu Shiqing buried his head in her shoulder, feeling miserable: “Yuan Cixian, I can’t get in, just relax…”
She stubbornly refused. Come on thief, burn jade and stone together! If you want to suffer, you will suffer together, the sky will not bypass anyone!
He frowned deeply, gnashed his teeth in her ear and said, “Then I’ll be rough…”
Yuan Cixian stubbornly refused to answer, and when he made up his mind to break the boat, he bit his shoulder to death, and made him cry out in pain along with her.
Now Lu Shiqing understands the true meaning of “Keep firm and don’t let go”, but the conquest has not yet come to an end, the road ahead is still difficult, and he is hesitating whether to take it easy, when he suddenly heard her hoarse: “Long pain is worse than short pain, If you are a man, just go all out and do it!”
He was stimulated to move forward fiercely, but he died as soon as he bowed his head, and his dignity was swept away.
His mind was blank, and he looked at Yuan Cixian who was also clueless.
The two blinked dumbly in the awkward look at each other. In the end, Yuan Cixian reacted first, raised his knee and knocked him away: “Is the tossing over? Is there no show? Sleep on the bed for me!”
I will sleep on the foot couch in the future!
