Quick Wear: Cousin, Come to the Bowl Quickly

"Ahem, sister-in-law... Lord Lin, is my brother okay?"

Next to the blazing bonfire under the bright lights, Chang Sun Ke, who was wearing light armor, coughed lightly and awkwardly turned his gaze away from Lin Xi's swollen and cracked lips opposite him.

"Well, he's asleep."

In front of outsiders, Lin Xi returned to her cold and unapproachable appearance. When she asked, she just raised her eyelids and responded indifferently.

Seeing her cold attitude, Chang Sun Ke, who was already a little embarrassed, became even more uneasy. The young general, who was full of vigor and vitality in front of the soldiers, was as obedient as a quail in front of his sister-in-law.

On the day of Lin Xi's wedding, she tried to embarrass Lin Xi in public, but was slapped in the face by Lin Xi. Before she could recover from the shock of this man being able to shoot through cloth with a wooden arrow, Lu Yujie twisted her ear and dragged her to the ancestral hall, where she was beaten with twenty boards.

She stayed in bed for more than half a month, and finally managed to walk. However, in the blink of an eye, she was thrown into the Northwest Camp by her mother. She went from being the spoiled and powerful second lady of the Changsun family to an unknown person covered in dust and dirt in the Northwest Camp.

At first she was still a little unconvinced. Every year when she was taken home during the Spring Festival, when she met Lin Xi who came to visit her house with her eldest grandson Yan, she could not help but provoke her with her words relying on the mediocre kung fu she learned in the military camp.

But although Lin Xi had a smile on her face, she did not save any strength in her hands. Moreover, she was in charge of the Criminal Justice Department, and she had many methods that could cause invisible injuries on people but were extremely painful.

Every time Chang Sun Ke provoked someone, she ended up howling in pain. However, Chang Sun Mei's wife and husband thought she was pretending and did not believe that Lin Xi had done anything to her.

Over time, she finally realized that her notorious sister-in-law was actually a black-hearted person. Except for being gentle to her brother, she was ruthless to her sister-in-law. Only then did she gradually calm down.

Seeing that she had finally learned her lesson, Lin Xi let her go for Chang Sun Yan's sake, and occasionally gave her some pointers on martial arts and military tactics.

After facing the most realistic and bloody fighting on the battlefield, Chang Sun Ke, who was in the Northwest Military Camp, gradually realized her responsibility as a woman to defend her country and began to work hard.

With the support of the Changsun family and the guidance of her sister-in-law Lin Xi, who was highly skilled in martial arts, she quickly distinguished herself in the army. After several battles of varying sizes, she gradually climbed to the position of deputy general of an army.

Her current achievements are inseparable from Lin Xi's "painstaking efforts" and "meticulous cultivation", so when she faces Lin Xi on weekdays, she wants to get close to him, but feels a little awkward.

But now, in the dead of night, looking at Lin Xi's profile that was dyed warm by the bonfire, she didn't know why, but suddenly she wanted to talk to her.

"Brother has slept little along the way. Now that he has seen my sister-in-law, he can finally sleep well." Chang Sun Ke flicked the flint to make the bonfire burn more vigorously.

"Yeah." Lin Xi simply responded, with no expression on her face. She glanced at Chang Sun Ke and said, "Tell me about this journey."

"Okay." Changsun Yan didn't expect her to respond, but when he heard her ask, he was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

It turned out that the heavy snow that night had completely blocked the road, and the reinforcements could not come in at all, so they could only wait anxiously outside. When the news reached the capital, Emperor Li and the Crown Princess were very sad, and ordered that Lin Xi must be found at all costs.

That night, Changsun Yan wrote a letter and sent it to the Northwest Camp. At the same time, he set off for Lanzhou, riding non-stop all the way. When he arrived in Lanzhou, he just met up with Changsun Ke who had gathered troops.

The wind and snow had stopped at this time, and with the guidance of soldiers who were familiar with the terrain of Beirong, they quickly made their way and looked around for Lin Xi and his group.

"We found a lot of soldiers' bodies in the snow when we came here. Every time a soldier came to report, my brother would pinch his palms until they bled. Only when he heard that it was not... would he breathe a sigh of relief."

Recalling this, even Chang Sun Ke, who had not yet begun to understand love, couldn't help but feel tears welling up in his eyes.

"Sister-in-law, don't try so hard in the future. I'm sensible now. I'm here to support the Changsun family and the Lin family. You and my brother should live a good life. He can't stand this kind of shock anymore."

Lin Xi, who had been listening quietly, seemed not to have expected her to suddenly say such a thing. She tilted her head to look at her. Chang Sun Ke quickly straightened his chest and tried to look reliable.

As if being amused by her appearance, Lin Xi curled the corners of his lips, but then the expression on his face quickly faded and he said something softly.

Chang Sun Ke didn't hear clearly, and asked in confusion, "Sister-in-law, what did you say?"

"Nothing." Lin Xi shook her head. "Close your eyes and get some sleep. We'll go back when it's daybreak."

"Sister-in-law, you go to sleep. I'll keep watch."

Chang Sun Ke hurriedly shook her head, indicating that she was not sleepy. She thought Lin Xi would refuse, but she just responded with a faint "OK" and then closed her eyes naturally.

The wind was still roaring, but the jumping campfire dispelled the chill.

When they returned to Lanzhou Prefecture, Lin Xi and her group were welcomed with a line of soldiers. Only then did Lin Xi realize that although she had almost died in the snow for more than half a month, the story of her night raid, in which she had beheaded the Khan of Beirong and burned down their lair, had already spread.

Now, in the eyes of the people of Beirong, she has long been regarded as a legendary figure like Wei and Huo. Lin Xi feels under great pressure about this.

After the grand celebration banquet, Lin Xi, who was drunk, returned to her room. As soon as she opened the door, she was sobered up by a slave lying on the bed in very cool clothes.

After drawing out her long sword and scaring off the servant who wanted to offer himself to her, she looked at the messy bed, frowned, and walked out the door to Changsun Yan's room.

She thought he had drunk the heat-clearing and calming medicine and should still be asleep, but as soon as she opened the door, a figure jumped into her arms.

"Runshi? Why are you wearing so little?"

Lin Xi acted quickly and hugged Changsun Yan, who was only wearing a thin nightgown, and closed the door. She wanted to touch his forehead to see if he was still feverish.

Unexpectedly, when her hand was halfway extended, it was grabbed by Changsun Yan and pressed on her waist and hips, while his own hand reached out to Lin Xi's waist and pulled her belt anxiously.

Lin Xi, who had been silent for several months, took a deep breath, pressed down the hand that was making trouble on her waist, lifted Changsun Yan's chin, looked into his watery eyes that were full of spring, and her voice was tinged with a hint of hoarseness.

"What is Runshi going to do?"

"want you."
