Chapter 76: Return to East Dragon City (I)
When night fell, Yan Li and Yan Ziyue finally arrived at the market town and found an inn to stop.
"You have to live idlely, it's a very elegant name", Yan Ziyue jumped down from the carriage and looked at the plaque erected at the entrance of the inn.
"Nobles, how many"? A young shopkeeper walked over and asked.
"Two of you, can you have a room"? Yan Li's face was cold, and he glanced at the shopkeeper with sharp eyes.
"Yes, yes... Please, I'll drive the carriage to the backyard for the nobles", the shopkeeper shuddered at the cold air emitted from his body.
Yan Li handed the reins of the carriage into the hands of the shopkeeper, and entered the inn with Yan Ziyue.
When he came to the counter, he saw that the shopkeeper was a man in his forties who was dressed in elegance, so he took some precautions and said in a calm tone: "The shopkeeper, two upper rooms, and then prepare some meals and send them to the room."
The shopkeeper replied with a smile: "Nobleman, there are no two upper rooms, but there is still one."
After hearing this, Yan Li frowned slightly, turned his head to look at Yan Ziyue, and said, "Okay, just one."
"Okay", the shopkeeper beckoned a shopkeeper to lead the way for Yan Li and Yan Ziyue.
The upstairs room to the east is very elegantly furnished, and there are a lot of potted plants planted in the room for decoration, which looks very fresh.
Yan Ziyue leaned over to look at a pot of cyan leaves like feathery grass, with pink bulbs, curious for a moment, and when she reached out and touched it, the thin leaves shrunk together, touching several leaves in a row.
"Father-in-law, look, what is this, it's so interesting", Yan Ziyue looked at Yan Lidao with a smile.
"Mimosa...", he glanced back, glanced back and swept every corner of the room with a sharp gaze, and after confirming that everything was normal, he walked to the side of the bed again, reached out and probed, and then sat down and tried it.
After a while, the shopkeeper who had seen him at the door of the inn at the beginning brought tea and put it on the round table in the room and said, "Nobleman, please use tea, today's new green, fragrant."
"Well... You go down first", he motioned for him to put the tea tray down.
The shopkeeper didn't dare to stay longer, so he put down the tea tray and withdrew.
"Father-in-law, why are you so cold to people, you don't look like you at all", Yan Ziyue walked to Yan Li's side and asked with a puzzled expression.
"It's nothing, the rivers and lakes are sinister, you have to be careful in everything", he changed his cold tone to a gentle tone.
"Oh...", Yan Ziyue responded, then lifted the teapot and poured a cup of tea for herself to drink, glanced at Yan Li and said, "Father-in-law, can I drink it?"
"Hmm... Drink it", he smiled slightly.
The two took a short rest, and Yan Ziyue was a little excited and looked around the room.
"Father-in-law, there is a big bathtub here, it would be nice if I could take a bath", Yan Ziyue blinked and looked at Yan Li.
The corners of Yan Li's mouth twitched, but looking at Yan Ziyue's expectant look, it was not easy to refuse, so he only said: "Okay, in a while, after dinner, I will ask the shopkeeper to prepare hot water."
"Okay...", Yan Ziyue happily ran to the table and sat down, drank another cup of tea and said, "Why don't you eat yet, I'm hungry."
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard a knock on the door, Yan Ziyue hurriedly went over to open the door, and sure enough, it was the shopkeeper just now who led a person to deliver food, three meat and one vegetable, and a soup, which looked very delicious.
"Two nobles, please use it slowly", the shopkeeper put it down and retreated with the visitor, closed the door and left.
Seeing that Yan Ziyue was so hungry, he couldn't help it, but he didn't make a move, looked at himself with a look of inquiry, and didn't feel a slight smile, so he picked up the chopsticks and put a piece of beef in the bowl in front of Yan Ziyue, and put a piece in his mouth, chewing it and swallowing it slowly.
Yan Ziyue saw that Yan Li had started eating, so she was no longer reserved, and let go of her stomach to eat.
Yan Li looked at Yan Ziyue eating with a smile on his face, his appetite also improved, and his food became more delicious.
"It's so full... Uh...", Yan Ziyue leaned on Yan Li's arm after eating, and stroked her stomach that was not good.
"Drink some water...", Yu Li handed a glass of water to Yan Ziyue.
Yan Ziyue stretched out her hand and took a drink, handed it back to Yan Li's hand and said coquettishly: "Still...".
Yan Li pursed his lips and smiled, poured another cup for Yan Ziyue, and after drinking, he helped her up and said, "You sit for a while, I'll go down and have a look, and by the way, someone will prepare hot water for you", and then got up and simply cleaned up the tableware and went downstairs.
Yan Ziyue moved around the room, lay on the bed, rolled a few times, and saw Zhan Li come in, and the little brother in the back came in with two buckets of hot water.
"Alright, you go out first."
"Okay, if you have something to do, just call me."
Yan Li closed the door, turned around and disappeared Yan Ziyue, only to hear Yan Ziyue's glutinous voice: "Wow, it's so comfortable."
Only then did Yan Li realize that Yan Ziyue had already taken off her clothes and soaked them, and sat down at the table with her eyebrows raised, turning her back to listen to the sound of water coming from behind the screen, and her heart was a little upset.
About the time of a meal passed, and Yan Li wanted to get up and remind Yan Ziyue that the water should be cold, so hurry out so as not to freeze, hesitate for a while, and feel as if there was no sound of water for a while, and he was a little panicked in his heart, and he didn't care about anything else. Yan Ziyue was scooped up at a lightning speed, and then pulled the clothes on the screen to wrap Yan Ziyue, hugged her to the bed, covered her with a quilt, and saw that she was breathing evenly and did not look like drowning, so she was relieved.
"Yue'er...", Yan Li looked at Yan Ziyue's sleeping little face, thinking about the scene just now, some were afraid and a little throbbing, just now I touched Yue'er's body, soft and smooth, full of elasticity, and felt very good, thinking of this, Yan Li involuntarily appeared on his face with a smile, and then turned into a tangled moment, his eyebrows were wrinkled, and his hands were clenched into fists.
The moon was already westward, and Yan Li leaned back against the window without sleep, looking at Yan Ziyue on the bed sleeping soundly, occupying the whole bed, not to mention, the sleeping appearance was really not very elegant, smiled helplessly, raised his left hand and rubbed his eyebrows, and looked at the boundless night outside the window.
The sky has been spit white, Yan Ziyue opened her hazy sleepy eyes, swept around the room, and saw that Yan Li was sleeping on the ground in front of the window, so she hugged the quilt and walked over lightly, trying to cover it for Yan Li, but unexpectedly woke him up, and the quilt slipped on the ground.
Yan Li looked at Yan Ziyue in front of her, her black hair was draped down, just up to her waist, her beige light clothes were loosely tied to her body, barefoot, revealing a white and tender calf, the moonlight sprinkled down on her face, forming a thin mist of light around her body, and the stars were shining in her eyes, as if the gods had fallen into the mortal dust by mistake.
"Yue'er...", she left her mouth and called softly.
Yan Ziyue smiled when she heard this, and in Zhan Li's opinion, this moment was frozen, deeply seared into her heart, and it was the most beautiful memory from now on.
"Father-in-law... You go to bed and sleep", Yan Ziyue said as she walked over to pull up the slight.
Confused, he followed her instructions, went to the bedside and sat down, let her push herself down, and cover herself with the quilt.
"Alright... Let's go to sleep", Yan Ziyue patted the lying straight after Yan Li, turned around and was about to leave, but was pulled by Yan Li, and the next second he was already on his chest.
Yan Ziyue struggled and imprisoned her in his arms, and the ghost in his mind was that he wanted to hold on to the current Yan Ziyue and didn't want to let go.
Yan Ziyue struggled a few times to no avail, so she simply complied, thinking that she didn't wake up anyway, it would be better to sleep again, and she did so, so she shrunk into bed, lifted the quilt and squeezed in, arched her body, put one hand on her waist, pillowed her arm, rubbed it, found a comfortable position, and fell asleep after a while.
Yan Li didn't expect Yan Ziyue to be so bold, far beyond her expectations, stiffened her body and let her move, until she fell asleep, she breathed a sigh of relief, stayed up for a while, and then fell asleep shallowly.
The two woke up and it was already past the hour, and Yan Li looked at the two people who shared the same bed, considering that Yan Ziyue was also a big girl, after all, there was a difference between men and women, and she didn't dare to act easily, and she blamed herself in her heart, angry that she was too willful, and she couldn't control herself for a while, but fortunately she wasn't too wrong, and she couldn't do it in the future.
Yan Ziyue got up and dressed, everything couldn't be more natural, and she didn't feel the complicated mood at the moment, as if this situation should be normal.
Yan Ziyue was dressed neatly and pushed away: "Father-in-law, it's time to get up."
"Hmm... Got it, you... You go get some hot water", Yan Li had no choice but to branch Yan Ziyue first, so as to calm down his mind.
"Okay...", Yan Ziyue turned and left.
Yan Li sat up when he saw Yan Ziyue walking away, straightened his clothes, smiled self-deprecatingly, sealed this memory, and warned himself not to think nonsense anymore.
After the two washed up, they had a simple breakfast, checked out the bill, checked the carriage and began to hurry.
Remembering the mistake of the first night, he arranged for two rooms to live separately, and hurried before dawn, and finally came to the market town not far from Donglong City on the fifth day.
Seeing that it was still early, after finding an inn and arranging it, he took Yan Ziyue out to go shopping, adding an old man's outfit for himself.
Early the next morning, Zhan Li appeared in front of Yan Ziyue pretending to be a middle-aged businessman.
"Father, what are you going to do?" Yan Ziyue almost didn't recognize it, and asked puzzledly.
"I'm going to enter Donglong City today, it's more convenient to dress up."
"Ahh Father-in-law, you have been to Donglong City, and I am afraid that someone in the city will recognize you"?
As soon as Yan Li heard Yan Ziyue's words, he knew that he couldn't hide it, so he briefly told him about coming to Donglong City before.
"Father-in-law, can you also tell me where to go and what to do this time?"
Yan Li felt more and more that Yan Ziyue was sometimes too smart, she could see clearly and think through, she knew how to measure and grasp opportunities, and she did it casually. Yan Li pulled Yan Ziyue to tell her the reason for the trip, and then talked about his thoughts and analysis, hoping that Yan Ziyue could understand.
"Father-in-law, then let's go", Yan Ziyue raised her feet and walked out after hearing this, so that Yan Li didn't understand for a while, and she didn't know what she thought.
More than an hour later, the two of them drove the carriage to the gate of Donglong City, and after a moment's delay, they pulled the reins, and the carriage entered the city.
