Chapter 370 Do you prefer sleeping outside or inside?
Chapter 370 Do you prefer sleeping outside or inside?
My fingertips brushed across her arm; it was soft yet felt chillingly cold.
I had only been sitting for a short while when I noticed that her rosy cheeks had turned bluish-purple.
That Suicune's ice spell is really ruthless!
Zhongli Yueluo herself couldn't help but tremble, while Qianqiu Chang'an had only just finished applying the ointment to one arm.
Yan Ruoyu frowned, unable to bear watching from a distance, even if it was to help him eliminate his rivals.
You shouldn't use yourself as bait!
Walking at a distance from them, he coughed lightly twice. Qianqiu Chang'an didn't rush to let go of Zhongli Yueluo's hand.
Instead, he slowly rolled up her sleeve and closed the medicine cap.
He knew the two had a close relationship, but he still couldn't help wanting to get closer to the girl in front of him.
“Young Master Ruoyu, I’ve left the medicine here, and this velvet robe will also help to ward off the cold.”
Gently placing it on Zhongli Yueluo's leg, one can indeed feel a warm sensation enveloping them.
"Thank you, Young Master Chang'an. I will definitely visit you another day... but visiting you might cause you trouble. Let's arrange to meet up instead."
He was delighted to hear that Zhongli Yueluo might invite him out for a trip again, and a smile appeared in his eyes.
"Then I'll take my leave, Chang'an."
This is what a true gentleman is like.
If an ordinary person had witnessed that scene, he would have been flustered or had to stand up and explain.
But he remained calm and composed because he was certain that there was nothing between him and Zhongli Yueluo.
Yan Ruoyu simply nodded slightly, and after watching Qianqiu Chang'an leave, he sat down next to Zhongli Yueluo.
"Okay, you won the bet. Do you know what that means?"
"It means I'll get a human-shaped heater tonight."
Zhongli Yueluo picked up the medicine jar that Qianqiu Chang'an had left behind and continued to apply it to her feet.
Yan Ruoyu took it without saying a word and gently massaged her ankle: "Did you do that on purpose?"
"There was a slight element of deliberate intent, but it was definitely not a firm footing."
Zhongli Yueluo playfully stuck out her tongue, her face very close to his, and the corner of her mouth curled up to one side: "Why do you think he helped me? Aren't you happy?"
"You are my fiancée."
"Oh...yes, but so what?"
Zhongli Yuelu pouted, and Yan Ruoyu's brows furrowed. She knew perfectly well that saying those words would upset him.
But she insisted on saying it.
"As your fiancée, it shouldn't be a problem for me to live with you, right? Don't worry about the Chiaki family."
Zhongli Yuelu shook her dress, then put on the velvet robe, and a wave of warmth washed over her.
Comfortable eyes narrowed, wondering when this curse of icy coldness would finally be lifted.
"You'd better keep the velvet robe he gave you and wear mine instead."
Yan Ruoyu said that there was a hint of jealousy in her words, and she had somehow acquired a robe that looked even warmer.
"We know we should avoid suspicion, but wasn't our initial plan to dismantle those few people?"
Yan Ruoyu wanted to argue that even without her, he could have taken the position himself.
But in the end, he didn't say it. What he really wanted to say was that he didn't want him to be caught up in the middle among the men.
There were Su Fengjun and Su Fengling before, which was enough. But now there are Qianqiu Chang'an and Changyu Muling. What makes them so special?
"It's getting late, let's go back and rest. Remember to spread the word."
Zhongli Yueluo walked ahead, but she didn't know where to go, so she stopped and waited for Yan Ruoyu.
Yan Ruoyu could not return to her own courtyard and could only go to other courtyards.
With their fingers intertwined, Yan Ruoyu turned to ask, "What message do you want me to spread?"
"It is said that Miss Yueluo is shameless and does not know how to seduce Young Master Ruoyu. She is suspected of using forbidden techniques to bewitch his mind."
"That's why she was able to enroll as Ruoyu's fiancée."
As Zhongli Yueluo spoke these words, it was as if she wasn't talking about herself, which startled Yan Ruoyu.
"Forbidden techniques? What do you know?"
Zhongli Yuelu frowned, her expression cold and stern. She wasn't quite sure either; Changyu Xuanyuan seemed to be even more difficult to deal with than Qianqiu Changhuan.
It wasn't about who liked whom; beneath her facade lay a much greater ambition.
"Then what is the meaning of your calculation?"
Yan Ruoyu didn't understand why he was taking such a risky move.
"Of course, I want her to take advantage of my vulnerability and show me concern and sympathy. I might have to stick to you every day afterward, but don't give me a friendly look."
Yan Ruoyu didn't answer, but just nodded, thinking about that cute and harmless face.
If you hang around him every day and are very proactive, how could he possibly bear to give you the cold shoulder?
“I’ll have a fight with Feng Jun then. The two of them have some connections. Anyway, we have to start with Chang Yu Mu Ling.”
"So, in the end, you're just going to hang out with Chang Yu and Mu Ling again."
"Ugh, it's so sour! Now all that's left is dumplings?"
Zhongli Yueluo teased him, pulling him to walk faster. They arrived at a courtyard in a corner, where the orange color scheme was similar to that of the Yan residence.
Zhongli Yueluo went inside and saw: "As expected, they are still treated like royalty. Just because they are surnamed Yan doesn't mean they have any special privileges."
"If you want to be related to Yan Xin, that's not impossible. How about I bring forward the engagement ceremony?"
Zhongli Yueluo placed a finger between his lips and said, "If anyone is to marry in the future, it will be me marrying you, understand?"
He tilted his head and smiled, then went into the room.
Yan Ruoyu could only feel the coolness of her fingertips, as if they still carried the fragrance of her recent bath.
He followed her into the room, closed the door, and saw that Zhongli Yueluo was already wrapped in a quilt and lying on the bed.
"Do you prefer to sleep on the inside or the outside? If you prefer the outside, I'll move over to the inside."
Zhongli Yueluo revealed her two large eyes, blinking them, and her exposed arms were already visibly trembling slightly.
Seeing that Yan Ruoyu did not answer, Zhongli Yueluo also showed no intention of moving further inside.
Yan Ruoyu sat on the edge of the bed, arranged the shoes that Zhongli Yueluo had taken off, and then turned over and went inside.
The process was still a little awkward, but he tried his best not to look at Zhongli Yueluo's face.
He wanted to say he liked sleeping outside, but he knew that Zhongli Yueluo would never move.
"You've gotten into character so quickly! I thought you'd try to avoid sleeping on the tatami mat."
Upon hearing Zhongli Yueluo's words, Yan Ruoyu's face flushed red, and her body became extremely hot.
He hadn't thought about it; what was wrong with simply sleeping together?
"So...you mean you want me to go to the tatami?"
Yan Ruoyu had already crawled into bed and wrapped herself tightly in the blanket, turning her head to look at Zhongli Yueluo's profile.
Although there were two quilts, Zhongli Yueluo's feet had already slipped through the gaps in the quilts and reached onto Yan Ruoyu's feet.
The sudden chill made him shiver, and then his hand grabbed her flailing ankle.
