The stand-in didn't take it seriously for three years, and the minister was furious when they b

Mu Lianzhi was stunned for a moment, and his expression changed suddenly.

She had been very happy today, and was looking forward to meeting him the most. However, after a series of unexpected events, no matter how good her attitude was, she felt a little overwhelmed.

Beitang Yi was even more so. His heart was already in turmoil because of her. Seeing the beauty he had just coaxed back to her original state in the blink of an eye, his anger rose rapidly and he shouted towards the door:

"roll!"

"I won't see anyone tonight."

Mu Lianzhi had just pulled her clothes on when she was pushed back by a reckless kiss.

That night, the two of them seemed to have returned to the previous three years in their memories. Beitang Yi was tossing and turning very hard, but Mu Lianzhi couldn't get into the mood from time to time. She even consciously clenched her teeth a few times when she couldn't help herself.

Beitang Yi clearly sensed her unhappiness, and although he tried his best to be gentle to her, everything seemed in vain.

He couldn't warm her heart anymore.

For the first time in a few days, the two of them were silent.

Afterwards, it was the first time that Mu Lianzhi didn't want to stay long. He saw her wipe herself and put on her clothes without saying a word. Thinking of her excited look when she rushed to him with eyes full of stars when they first met, Beitang Yi felt a blockage and discomfort in his heart again.

Reaching out his hand, he hugged her from behind:

"Jealous?"

Is this feeling jealousy?

Mu Lianzhi didn't know, but maybe she was still a modern person at heart. She wouldn't be bothered if she couldn't see him. As long as the two of them didn't break through that level of relationship, she could also convince herself that it had nothing to do with her. But now, that wasn't possible.

She felt uncomfortable and couldn't help wondering if he was actually with another woman and doing the same thing when he didn't contact her.

She felt like a clown.

He saw that other women came to him on their own initiative and it was so easy for other women to come to him. Not to mention the various things he did every time, he had to do it secretly and it was so difficult for him to ask for help.

Mu Lianzhi felt even more unbalanced when he thought about how he had waited for him for more than two hours today and had to endure a series of troubles one after another.

She pursed her lips and didn't respond.

Her reaction was very similar to that of the original owner. Every time he saw her unwilling look, Beitang Yi felt disappointed and hypocritical. He grabbed her chin with his backhand and squeezed hard:

"What do you have to ask of me? Have you forgotten your identity? Aren't you afraid that your little treasury will be coveted?"

The next second, Mu Lianzhi broke free from his grip with a strong effort, turned over and got out of bed. She squatted down and saluted him:

"If you are alright, I will take my leave."

Without waiting for his reaction, she picked up her shoes, turned around and strode away.

"Zhizhi?"

Seeing her face turn black, Beitang Yi's heart started to panic. Then he remembered that she was different from before. He also suddenly realized that he had made a big mistake. He jumped out of bed without thinking and chased after her.

"Mu Lianzhi."

Beitang Yi chased her all the way to the entrance of the secret passage, and then he grabbed her wrist to block her way. It can be seen how fast and determined she was walking. She even prepared to leave without picking up the lantern.

"What other orders do you have, sir?"

When he met her cold and distant eyes, Beitang Yi knew that he had really hurt her just now. He reached out and hugged her in his arms:

"Zhizhi, I, I have no intention of threatening you, let alone being mean to you..."

Then, he told her the address and general situation of "Thousand-Faced Ghost Hand" Lu Qian, and promised to help her capture the man and go to her store in person to support him. In the end, the more he talked, the more upset he became, and Beitang Yi even wanted to beat himself to death.

Why would he be so crazy as to provoke her?

Now, she was unhappy and felt uncomfortable, and something that should have been taken credit for turned into a form of flattery.

"Can you stop being angry?"

"No, you bully me~"

When Mu Lianzhi was willing to speak, Beitang Yi felt like he had won a prize. He inadvertently caught a glimpse of the red mark on her chest tattoo, listened to her soft and tender voice, and saw her aggrieved and innocent eyes looking at him. He thought of something and leaned over to give her a loving kiss on the forehead:

"I haven't touched her."

"I'm looking for Cai Cui because I need her to do something. It's nothing personal. She's from Baimingfang. Everyone knows that I have a fixed room in Qicai Building. If you want to see me, come here at night for the best chance..."

"I don't mean to embarrass you."

Actually, he had an impression of Cai Cui because of her. If Ying Feng had not reported that she used this woman to bully the Marquis' Mansion, he would not have been curious and specially ordered this person named Cai Cui when he went to Baimingfang to do business last time.

In fact, it was a bit of a coincidence that the person he wanted to investigate happened to be her admirer.

She did look a bit like that person, and her pipa playing had much of that person's guzheng style. He was distracted when he first saw her, but that was all.

"Humph~"

Knowing that his chances of getting sick were greatly reduced, Mu Lianzhi felt much better.

Pulling her little hand to play with it for a while, Beitang Yi placed it on his lips and kissed it lightly:

"You're not leaving?"

The question was asked in a positive tone. Beitang Yi was about to walk back. As he turned around, his men stopped him and said:

"I'm already dressed, so I won't bother with that anymore."

Seeing her fatigue, Beitang Yi did not insist this time:

"Then I'll take it to you."

Subconsciously, Mu Lianzhi wanted to decline, but the moment she opened her mouth, she felt that it would be a waste to do so, so she nodded slightly.

"Then wait for me and put on some clothes."

Turning around, Beitang Yi walked inside again. Turning back, Mu Lianzhi also took a lamp stand and put on her own lantern.

When she came back, the lantern in her hand was taken away and put on the ground. Pulling her hand, Beitang Yi shook the fire starter in his hand.

Knowing that he was going to use the underground oil lamp, Mu Lianzhi didn't say anything.

As they walked in, soon, a quiet, bright and wide avenue that belonged only to the two of them appeared before them. After walking for a while, Beitang Yi squatted down and said he would carry her on his back.

Mu Lianzhi did not refuse. She lay on his back, curled up in the crook of his neck, and kicked his calves.

This section of the road was not short. After turning a corner, Beitang Yi lit another row of lights. Seeing that a thin layer of sweat had seeped out of his forehead, Mu Lianzhi twisted her sleeve to help him wipe it off:

"Tired?"

To Beitang Yi, who was competing in martial arts, Mu Lianzhi's weight was actually nothing. On the contrary, Beitang Yi actually liked the feeling of the two of them being so close and intimate. Turning his head, he glanced at her:

"It's as sweet as sugar."

Unable to help himself, he rubbed his tall nose against her pink cheek.

"Then you can just carry me on your back from now on?"

"Ok?"

Their eyes met, and time seemed to stand still at this moment. There was only each other in their eyes. Mu Lianzhi repeated it again with burning eyes:

"Will you just carry me like this from now on?"

She would not be foolish enough to expect some kind of "lifelong, one couple" love in this dynasty, nor did she think that the two of them would have a future, so she only hoped that the memories of their intersection could be relatively good.
