Quick Travel: Save the poor little villain

The cosmetics shop in the town is not big, but it is clean and tidy.

The shop owner was an aunt with a kind face and shrewd eyes. She had seen many different kinds of customers. When she saw Jinchen and Bu Changji come in, she guessed about 70% of the situation.

Nowadays, it is not uncommon to see not only girls but also many handsome young men who pay attention to their appearance buying some moisturizing ointments.

Jinchen said it was for people living near the sea and asked his aunt to recommend one.

Auntie greeted me warmly and recommended with a smile several ointments with light scents, not too heavy of makeup, and that were moisturizing and protective.

"Young Master, your skin is so tender. The seaside is windy and sunny, so this is perfect for you. It's not greasy and it blocks the wind."

Jinchen listened carefully, picked up a box, opened it and smelled it. It had a light herbal fragrance, which made him quite satisfied.

The main thing is that he doesn't find it smelly.

While choosing, Jinchen asked his aunt casually.

"Auntie, when I came in just now, I saw a lot of officials patrolling the streets and questioning people. What happened in the town?"

Auntie was also surprised. "You just said that they were from the seaside and that they applied ointment only when exposed to the wind and sun. How come people from the seaside didn't know about this and said it was pirates?"

Jinchen was puzzled, "Catch the pirates and bring them to town?"

Why does he always fail to understand the people in this small world?

What a fantastic idea.

Auntie groaned and lowered her voice, as if sharing some important secret. "Well, come to think of it, this matter is very related to your seaside!"

"It's said that a group of pirates, condemned by heaven, were so audacious that they kidnapped the prince who was to be married off to the imperial court! So, the officials have tracked them down and found their way to our territory. They are strictly guarding it and searching for the man!"

The pirate who was condemned by heaven, Bu Changji: "..."

He stood aside, listening expressionlessly, his fingertips curled unconsciously, and he sneered in his heart.

As expected, Prince Jing still refused to let Fang Yunyao go.

The outside world said that he was very wise and benevolent, but secretly he did not even spare his own son, and wanted to kill him just because he refused to marry into the royal family.

It’s no wonder that Fang Yunyao was so disheartened that he would rather cooperate with this pirate, steal his own treasure and run away.

Jinchen didn't know what was going on in Bu Changji's mind, but seeing that his expression was a little strange, it was indeed the marriage that ruined his mood.

Just as he was about to comfort her, a team of patrolling officials came towards the shop and scanned the pedestrians on the street.

Jinchen took a step forward calmly, his broad shoulders and back completely blocking Bu Changji behind him, isolating him from any probing sight.

Bu Changji felt a tightness in his heart because of the appearance of the officers and soldiers, and he subconsciously shrank back, not resisting Jinchen's approach.

However, the next moment, Jinchen turned around and faced Bu Changji, cupping his cheek with warm fingers.

Bu Changji was stunned, and before he could react, Jinchen's fingertips had already dipped the ointment that Auntie had just recommended for him to try, and applied it on his cheek.

The light herbal scent of the ointment wafted through the air, but what Bu Changji smelled first was the light agarwood scent on Jinchen's body, which was as calm and clean as wood basked in the sun.

It even suppressed the smell of the ointment a bit.

The two were so close that they could hear each other's breathing.

Jinchen's eyes fell on his face, and his fingertips slowly and carefully spread the cream on his skin, bringing a slight numbing sensation.

Bu Changji's heartbeat quickened for no reason, disrupting its rhythm and pounding against his chest.

His breathing became a little disordered, and he subconsciously lowered his eyelashes, not looking at Jinchen. His ears turned slightly red, and he actually felt a rare sense of embarrassment.

[The villain's heart rate is detected +4, totaling 14! 】

"What do you two do?"

The official's voice suddenly came from behind Jinchen.

The leading official looked at Jinchen's tall and strong figure, and Bu Changji who was half-held in his arms. Even on the busy street, the appearance and demeanor of these two people were somewhat eye-catching.

Jin Chen did not stop and spread the last bit of cream evenly on Bu Changji's chin. Then he turned around calmly, half-protecting Bu Changji at his side, and answered calmly.

"Sir, we are fishermen from Bailangao. We came to the town to sell some seafood and buy some household supplies."

The official's gaze fell on Bu Changji again, and he said with scrutiny, "He looks unfamiliar, and doesn't look like he grew up by the sea."

Bu Changji's heart tightened, and he was thinking about how to make up his identity, but Jinchen's arm went around his waist, pulling him into his arms, his tone calm and gentle.

"My Lord, this is my husband. I just married him from the neighboring village a few years ago. He is timid and has not seen much of the world. Please don't blame me, Lord."

He spoke so naturally that it was hard to doubt him.

Bu Changji: "..."

His body froze and his mind went blank.

Husband! This guy really speaks without hesitation!

But now was not the time for him to refute, and he knew that Jinchen was protecting him.

Bu Changji gritted his teeth and leaned against Jinchen's shoulder cooperatively, acting timidly and dependent, and nodded slightly.

The official saw that the two of them were very intimate, Jinchen was speaking fluently, and although Bu Changji was a little too pretty, she did look weak and submissive, not like a noble prince on the run. So he didn't ask any more questions, waved his hand, and went to patrol elsewhere.

After the official left, the aunt beside him laughed and joked, "Oh, I wasn't sure what you meant by old lady just now, but it turns out they are really a young couple!"

"They look like a perfect match! If they weren't newlyweds, how could she be so affectionate and even personally accompany me to pick out the ointment?"

Bu Changji broke free from Jinchen's arms, his cheeks burning and his heart beating like a drum.

After hearing what the aunt said, I felt even more anxious and didn't know where to put my hands and feet.

Jinchen, however, acted as if nothing had happened. He reached out and pulled him back, saying in a natural tone, "Why are you panicking? This side hasn't been evenly applied yet."

As she spoke, she actually took some more ointment and carefully applied it to his other cheek.

Bu Changji could only let him move, feeling that wherever his fingertips passed, it was burning hot.
