Chu Fengqing pursed his lips, then loosened them and pursed them again, showing his inner uneasiness. Although Ji Yujin said it in a joking manner, he understood Ji Yujin’s thoughts and could not pretend that nothing had happened.
Chu Fengqing: “Ji Yujin, I…”
But this time Ji Yujin dodged. He stopped Chu Fengqing from speaking, “Alright, alright, it’s just a joke. Let’s go. I’ll take you to buy candy.”
Ji Yujin rushed to take the first step. After turning his back to Chu Fengqing, his eyes darkened slightly, and he smiled bitterly. Even if he dreamed, he would dream that Chu Fengqing and he were in love with each other, but when he really wanted to give an answer, he actually ran away. Ji Yujin ah, Ji Yujin, you only dare to create some illusions and deceive the soft-hearted little physician. What a coward.
Later, Chu Fengqing found out that the place selling candy in front that Ji Yujin mentioned was the town next door. It’s also right, the people in this town had just been rescued and had not yet returned to normal life.
Ji Yujin rode a horse to take Chu Fengqing away. It took them most of the day. Some subordinates came to look for Ji Yujin, but when they couldn’t find him, they had to ask Qing Niao.
Qing Niao had a cold face and was somewhat skeptical about life. He said, “Went to buy candy.”
The subordinates: “??”
What? Go where? Say it again.
Qing Niao glanced at him, and the subordinate stopped talking. “Alright, please stop talking. I’m afraid you will hit me.”
That day, Qing Niao squatted on the roof for a long time, watching the midday sun gradually set in the west. In the steep cold wind, he looked up at the sky. He couldn’t figure it out. He really couldn’t figure it out. Why did his madam become a man? That’s fine. Why did his master change too? He became stupid…
After Ji Yujin and Chu Fengqing came back, each of them was holding a big bag of candy in their hands. Chu Fengqing, who was holding the candy, looked at Ji Yujin helplessly.
Ji Yujin raised his eyebrows. “I see you can’t make a choice, so just buy them all and try them.”
Chu Fengqing: “……”
Xiao Meng hid behind the door, staring at the candy in his hand, her saliva dripping from the corners of her mouth. Chu Fengqing saw her and waved at her. Xiao Meng glanced at Ji Yujin warily but couldn’t resist the temptation of the delicious food and ran to Chu Fengqing’s side.
Chu Fengqing handed the candy in his hand to her. Xiao Meng’s eyes lit up, and two dimples appeared on her cheeks, which was very cute.
Chu Fengqing rubbed her hair. Ji Yujin leaned against the door frame and watched this scene. Suddenly, he thought that if Chu Fengqing got married as he should, he would have children soon. He seemed very gentle to the children.
Thinking of this, his eyes darkened slightly.
Chu Fengqing glanced at him, stopped the little girl, took out two candies from the oil paper bag, and walked in front of Ji Yujin. Perhaps because Ji Yujin was still immersed in his own imagination, he didn’t notice that Chu Fengqing’s walking posture was a little unnatural.
Chu Fengqing placed the candy in Ji Yujin’s palm and put one in his own mouth. The sweetness made him squint his eyes. He said, “There are so many candies that we can’t finish them all. Let Xiao Meng share them with the children.”
Ji Yujin casually threw the candy into his mouth. The candy slowly melted in his mouth. Ji Yujin then realized that Chu Fengqing misunderstood him and was angry that he gave the candy to the child. He was a little amused and didn’t know whether to laugh or to cry for a moment. “Do I look like such a stingy person?”
Chu Fengqing went up the pole smoothly, “Not stingy.”
After he finished speaking, he paused and continued, “Thank you for the candy. It feels sweeter than the ones outside.”
This candy is just ordinary candy, how can it be sweeter? Ji Yujin’s eyes became burning. He glanced at him, then quickly looked away and looked outside. It was this kind of Chu Fengqing that made him unable to extricate himself.
In the evening, last time due to time constraints, the two of them squeezed into one room. This time, the landlady specially prepared a better room for Ji Yujin. However, before she could say anything, she found that Ji Yujin squeezed into Chu Fengqing’s room. Chu Fengqing behaved very naturally, as if this were a common occurrence. The two of them didn’t care about this issue at all.
The landlady stared blankly at the closed door, unable to react.
Chu Fengqing had just finished bathing, with his black hair draped over his shoulders.
Seeing Ji Yujin coming over, his expression was a little unnatural. Ji Yujin was extremely sensitive to subtle changes in expression. After all, he often encountered prisoners who refused to give in, even under torture. Sometimes a breakthrough might be just a change in expression, so he slowly practiced it.
Ji Yujin asked him, “What’s wrong?”
Chu Fengqing seemed to have not expected that he would notice his abnormality so quickly. He was stunned for a moment before shaking his head. “Nothing.”
As he said this, he gave up the room and went downstairs.
After Ji Yujin finished his bath, Chu Fengqing came back and asked him to go out for a while as he wanted to change his clothes.
Ji Yujin was a little worried, always feeling that Chu Fengqing was hiding something from him, so he called Qing Niao over.
“What did Madam do when he went downstairs just now?”
Qing Niao: “Madam went to a makeshift medicine store and got a bottle of Snow Jade Ointment.”
Snow Jade Ointment?
This thing is only used when people have a skin break or fall.
Ji Yujin couldn’t sit still any longer. Chu Fengqing was injured? When was he injured? Why didn’t he tell him?
He frowned and asked, “Did assassins attack in the few days I was away? Did anyone hurt Madam?”
Qing Niao hurriedly shook his head. It was just a bottle of Snow Jade Ointment. How come even assassins came out? Could Snow Jade Ointment even heal wounds caused by assassins?! His master indeed became even more stupid…
Ji Yujin looked at Qing Niao with disapproval. How could a secret guard—a top secret guard at that—know nothing?
The master and the subordinate silently disliked each other, but no one said anything.
Ji Yujin planned to go back to the room to ask, and when he opened the door, he indeed smelled the faint herbal scent of the Snow Jade Ointment.
“Chu Fengqing, Qing Niao said you took a bottle of Snow Jade Ointment, what’s wrong? Where are you…”
Ji Yujin walked over and saw the scene in front of him and was instantly stuck, with his mind exploding with a “boom”.
The Snow Jade Ointment fell to the ground with a clang and rolled towards Ji Yujin. The room was silent for a moment.
Chu Fengqing’s pupils shrank, and he hurriedly pulled up his clothes. His thin skin turned red, and he gritted his teeth and said, “Turn around!”
Ji Yujin turned around quickly and licked his lips, but the scene just now could not be shaken off his mind. The cold and snow-like person took off his pants and sat on the bed, applying something to the inside of his thighs.
He closed his eyes. This was truly the biggest test in his career as an eunuch.
