Quick Wear: The soft cannon fodder turns into a heartthrob and seduce

Chapter 137: The Widow with Many Troublesome People (5)

Night falls.

Chu Jinyao sat beside the dying fire.

The firelight shone on his face, and his stern expression flickered.

But at this moment, his heart was in a daze.

As soon as I relax a little, that scene will come back to my mind.

A woman in white sat under a tree, half-dressed.

The hem of her skirt was lifted up, revealing a pair of slender and well-proportioned long legs.

There is not a trace of fat, but it is not as weak as a willow branch. Every inch of the outline is just right.

Her skin, as soft as cream, glows in the dim environment, like flowing moonlight.

The woman frowned and bit her lower lip slightly, as if she was enduring the pain.

It was this scene that made Chu Jinyao lose his breath instantly, revealing his flaws and almost getting discovered.

"General?"

A voice came into his ears, and Chu Jinyao's chest tightened. He suddenly stood up and looked at the person who came, his eyes dark.

The guard was startled and looked around vigilantly: "General, what happened?"

Chu Jinyao stared at the newcomer, relaxed his tense muscles a little, and said with a grim expression, "Nothing."

The guard then put down his knife and reported:

"General, please go and rest. Everything has been arranged."

Chu Jinyao didn't stop. He caught a glimpse of the woman sleeping peacefully against the tree. He paused for a moment, then looked away as if to conceal his feelings.

On the other side, Mu Zhou heard the male protagonist's increasing favorability towards her. Without opening his eyes, he turned over and continued to sleep in a good mood.

*

Early in the morning, Chu Caiyan yawned and was puzzled when she saw that Chu Jinyao's eyes were dark and his face was ashen.

"Uncle, did you not sleep well last night?"

She looked around and saw that there was no one around, so she leaned over and asked in a low voice.

Chu Jinyao, who had been tormented by a figure he had only glimpsed for most of the night, gave her a cold glance and said, "Pack up quickly."

Chu Caiyan curled her lips and went to greet others.

On the other side, Mu Zhou had a good sleep, got up, packed up and prepared to set off.

She wet a handkerchief with water and wiped her face, then looked up and saw Chu Jinyao coming towards her.

"General Chu."

She curled the corners of her lips, stood up and bowed to him.

The soft voice made Chu Jinyao feel like he was facing a great enemy, and his back instantly stiffened.

After glancing at Mu Zhou's cheeks which still had some water droplets on them, he turned around with a cold face and walked in another direction ignoring Mu Zhou.

Mu Zhou was stunned.

Although I knew that Chu Jinyao had a cold personality, I didn't expect that he would just leave without even looking at me.

Feng Chu happened to see this scene and comforted Mu Zhou:

"Our general is just like that. He's only interested in strategy, not targeting you. Don't mind, sister-in-law."

Mu Zhou forced a smile to show his understanding.

Feng Chu brought his own horse and wanted to let Mu Zhou ride it again. Mu Zhou couldn't bear to reject his kindness, but the redness and swelling on his legs had not healed yet. When he was in a dilemma, a cold and hard voice came:

"Commander Feng, if you don't want to ride, then walk."

Mu Zhou looked back and saw Chu Jinyao, who had just disappeared, reappear.

He was dressed in black and sitting on his horse, looking very heroic. With just one look, he exuded an overwhelming aura that made people dare not refute him.

It was as if submitting to him was an innate habit.

Feng Chu wanted to explain a few words, but he didn't dare to speak.

After Chu Jinyao rode away, Mu Zhou took the opportunity to refuse:

"It just so happens that I also like riding in a carriage."

Feng Chu just thought that Mu Zhou was comforting him, and felt a little guilty in his heart. He vowed that after arriving in the capital, he would take good care of the widow of his good brother.

*

In the evening, Chu Jinyao noticed that Mu Zhou had quietly walked to a hidden place again.

Knowing what she was going to do, Chu Jinyao's Adam's apple rolled inexplicably, then he walked silently to the front of her and sat down with his back to her.

Chu Jinyao's nickname, the Jade-faced King of Hell, was not only extremely frightening to his opponents, but also to his own soldiers.

So once he sat there, no one dared to approach him.

When Mu Zhou came out again, he was a little curious to see that there was no one around. Then he saw the familiar figure and understood.

Hearing the noise, Chu Jinyao sat up straighter without making a sound, but his eyes did not fall on her at all.

Perhaps because he was surprised to see him, Mu Zhou's face flushed. After taking a deep breath, he quickly left.

Some scenes can't help but emerge again.

Chu Jinyao's throat suddenly felt dry, and he suddenly tilted his head back and drank the water.

After pondering for a moment, he looked up again and his expression had returned to its gloomy and cold state.

Chu Jinyao raised his hand and casually wiped the water stains from his chin. His eyes were cold, and it seemed as if an ice wall had been erected around him, isolating everyone from outside.

He could no longer allow others to control his emotions.

Especially if it was a woman.

Or the widow of one of his soldiers.

He had wasted too much energy on her.

This is wrong and unnecessary.

By setting fire to his uncle's house, he could convince himself that he appreciated her clear distinction between love and hate.

Keeping her company while applying medicine could also be said to be for the sake of the army's reputation and to avoid any accidents.

But it was extremely inappropriate that he couldn't control his gaze on her and the images that kept appearing in his mind.

Chu Jinyao lowered his eyes, grabbed the long knife beside him, and stood up suddenly.

*

When Mu Zhou woke up early the next morning, he heard that Chu Jinyao had left the previous night and rushed back to the capital.

She was stunned for a moment, then confirmed the slightly declining favorability, and she already had an idea in her mind.

Although his favorability has decreased, it actually proves that I am special in his heart.

It can be considered a certain degree of success.

Mu Zhou comforted himself.

Anyway, he has already left, so everything can only wait until she arrives in the capital.

*

Ten days later, Mu Zhou finally arrived in the capital.

Chu Caiyan is kind-hearted and insists on sending Mu Zhou to his aunt's house.

Under her escort, Mu Zhou came to a small alley and knocked on the door of a house according to his memory. Unfortunately, no one answered after he knocked for a long time.

Eventually the neighbor came out.

Only then did they find out that their aunt and her family had moved away several years ago and their whereabouts were unknown.

In fact, Mu Zhou had already known this through the system. She was just using this as an excuse to come to the capital.

But when he heard the news, he still looked shocked.

Chu Caiyan also felt sad for her.

This sister-in-law's experience is too tortuous.

She suddenly had an idea and wanted to invite Mu Zhou to her house, since Mu Zhou knew she was a woman anyway.

But Mu Zhou refused.

She shook her head. "The general has already taken good care of me. How dare I bother him again?"

Without waiting for Chu Caiyan to continue persuading him, Mu Zhou expressed his thoughts.

She wanted to rent the yard where her aunt used to live.

"Since you're here, just stay here for now. You never know when your aunt might come back. Anyway, I have nowhere else to go."

Aunt Qin, the neighbor, was kind-hearted. When she heard Mu Zhou's plan, she immediately said:

"The owner lives over there. I'll take you there."

Seeing that she insisted, Chu Caiyan said nothing more.

She left a jade pendant for Mu Zhou: "This jade has a flaw. Although it is not valuable, it is my token of love. If you need anything, you can take it to the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion."

Mu Zhou accepted it gratefully and sent Chu Caiyan away.
