"Are you hungry? Sit down and have something to eat."

Seeing Wanyan Ping finally appear, Duan Zhengchun turned his head and revealed a gentle smile, pointing to the chair opposite him.

Wanyan Ping concealed her excitement and slowly nodded as she sat down opposite him.

The food on the table was still hot, as if it had just been served, and bowls and chopsticks were already set in front of her.

"Brother Duan, what are you doing here?"

"You knew I was coming?"

Wanyan Ping instantly understood what was going on and couldn't help but ask.

Duan Zhengchun took a sip of wine and said calmly, "I knew long ago that someone was following me in the dark, but I never expected that person to be you."

"Knowing you would pass through this area, I arrived here ahead of time."

Wanyan Ping pressed further, "Then how did you know I would definitely walk into this inn?"

Duan Zhengchun laughed and said, "It's getting dark, and since I've disappeared without a trace, you should naturally find a place to rest before making any further plans."

"And there's only one inn in this town, so you'll definitely come."

Upon hearing Duan Zhengchun's answer, Wanyan Ping suddenly understood and looked at Duan Zhengchun with admiration. Then, a bitter expression appeared on her face, as she didn't know how to explain.

She was the one secretly following her, but in the end, Duan Zhengchun turned the tables on her and arrived here before her, preparing a table full of delicious food for her.

"Don't just stand there, there's no need to explain, eat quickly, or it'll get cold."

Duan Zhengchun smiled and raised his hand in a gesture, not wanting to hear Yan Ping's explanation of why he had secretly followed him.

He believed he possessed such charm, a fact he had already proven in his previous life.

Wanyan Ping nodded slightly, and then, without further ado, picked up her chopsticks and began to eat.

She was really hungry.

Duan Zhengchun said nothing more, drinking his wine while silently observing Wanyan Ping.

It must be said that from the first moment he saw Wanyan Ping, he secretly developed feelings for her, but because the border chaos was still unresolved, he had no time to think about matters between men and women.

But sometimes fate is just that strange. Even though he didn't want anything to happen, Wanyan Ping took the initiative to chase after him.

As Wanyan Ping finished eating and drinking, night slowly fell.

"Brother Duan, you won't blame me, will you?"

Wanyan Ping wiped her mouth, looked nervously at Duan Zhengchun who was silently drinking, and asked a question in a low voice that was so soft that only she could hear it.

"Why should I blame you?"

Duan Zhengchun looked up at Wanyan Ping and asked with a smile.

"I secretly followed you without your permission..."

Wanyan Ping lowered her head nervously, clutching the hem of her clothes tightly, hesitant to speak.

Duan Zhengchun shook his head and laughed, "It's nothing, why would I blame you for it? Besides, you didn't mean any harm."

Hearing Duan Zhengchun's answer, Wanyan Ping finally felt relieved, and a charming smile reappeared on her lips. Her eyes, filled with genuine emotion, looked at Duan Zhengchun.

"Alright, you must be tired after traveling all day. Go upstairs and rest. I've already paid for your room."

Seeing Wan Yanping's every smile and frown, Duan Zhengchun felt a surge of heat in his lower abdomen. He hurriedly put away his wine gourd, got up and walked upstairs, saying something as he did so.

Wanyan Ping agreed and followed Duan Zhengchun to the room that had been prepared on the second floor.

After escorting Wanyan Ping to her room, Duan Zhengchun returned to his own room alone, sat cross-legged on the bed, and began to circulate his internal energy to clear his mind of distracting thoughts.

After an unknown amount of time, Duan Zhengchun finally finished his practice and opened his eyes. He then saw a figure moving around incessantly in the corridor outside the door.

"Miss Wanyan, it's so late, is there something you need?"

Even though there was a door between them, he recognized the figure from the silhouette at a glance.

"Brother Duan, I..."

Wanyan Ping paused for a moment, spoke softly, but then fell silent.

Duan Zhengchun got up from the bed, opened the door, looked at Wanyan Ping who was standing in the corridor, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back, and said softly, "What's wrong?"

Wanyan Ping hesitated for a moment, then finally mustered her courage and tentatively asked, "Brother Duan, could you take me with you?"

In fact, she hadn't rested since returning to her room, and had been standing guard by the door, listening to the sounds in the corridor, because she was worried that Duan Zhengchun would leave without saying goodbye.

Upon hearing this, Duan Zhengchun frowned, then hesitated and shook his head, saying, "No."

As the words fell, he clearly saw the look of disappointment and sadness that flashed across Wanyan Ping's face.

He had expected this, but he did have his reasons. If he brought another woman back to Zhongnan Mountain, Long'er might really kill him.

A woman's jealousy is unfathomable, especially when it comes to relationships. He doesn't want to cause any trouble, and it's not the right time yet.

Although Long'er showed great tolerance and generosity in the matter of sharing a husband with his master, he could not guarantee that Long'er would also accept outsiders.

Why are you following me?

Looking at the dejected Wanyan Ping, Duan Zhengchun slowly asked a question.

Wanyan Ping pouted and looked up at Duan Zhengchun. Then she suddenly rushed over and hugged Duan Zhengchun tightly with both hands.

"I want to follow Brother Duan forever, to the ends of the earth, no matter where we go!"

In a chance encounter, Duan Zhengchun not only saved her in the restaurant, but also helped her defeat Yelü Qi. In order to avenge her, he even went alone to kill the garrison commander of Huyue City!

How could she not be moved by Duan Zhengchun?

Duan Zhengchun's appearance had already overshadowed Yelü Qi in her heart.

Hearing Wan Yanping's unwavering answer, Duan Zhengchun was deeply moved, especially by the hint of tenderness in her voice.

"What I mean is not that it's never possible, it's just that now is not the right time."

Duan Zhengchun suddenly felt a little soft-hearted, patted Wan Yanping's head, and said gently.

"real?!"

Upon hearing this, Wanyan Ping excitedly raised her head and looked at Duan Zhengchun with anticipation.

Duan Zhengchun nodded vigorously, and looking at Wanyan Ping's happy face, his smile became even more gentle.

Immediately afterwards, Wanyan Ping nervously swallowed, then suddenly raised her chin and slowly closed her eyes.

Duan Zhengchun paused for a moment, then gently kissed him.

Soon, the sound of a door closing was heard.

Night had fallen, and the entire inn was completely silent, blending seamlessly with the tranquil town.

Inside the room, however, a major commotion was taking place.

"Pingping..."

"Duan Lang..."

"Well..."

Beautiful notes drifted slowly from the inn, echoing through the streets and alleys. If a passerby happened to walk by at this moment, they would surely stop to listen and perhaps even investigate.

"Squeak, squeak..."

"what..."

"Duan Lang, use..."

The innkeeper, still half asleep, walked in from the backyard, stood in the lobby on the first floor, looked up and searched for the room from which the sound was coming. Then, all sleepiness vanished and his expression became excited.

Now over fifty, he thought of his equally aged wife in the room, shook his head helplessly, filled with jealousy, muttered a few words, and then turned and went back to the backyard dejectedly.

"So moisturizing..."

"Do you like it? Uh..."

"Pingping, don't worry, one day I will make sure you stay by your brother's side, never leaving him..."

After an unknown amount of time, the tense atmosphere finally subsided, and everything returned to calm. But who knows how many people would have a sleepless night because of those soft moans?

...

The next morning.

Duan Zhengchun looked at Wanyan Ping lying in his arms with a satisfied smile on his lips, secretly circulating his internal energy to restore his vitality.

Last night's battle was even more exhausting than the fight against the Mongol army outside Huai'an County, because it depleted not only our internal energy but also our yang energy.

"Um..."

At this moment, Wanyan Ping also woke up, slowly opened her eyes, glanced shyly at Duan Zhengchun, and was too embarrassed to say anything.

Perhaps she never expected that her relationship with him would develop so quickly.

Although she was still in some pain, she had no regrets.

That was her first time.

Duan Zhengchun seems to have always been very lucky.

"when are you leaving?"

After a moment, Wanyan Ping asked a question in a soft voice.

"I'm leaving soon."

Duan Zhengchun gave a faint reply, looking at Wanyan Ping with some reluctance.

If it weren't for what happened last night, he would already be in Huai'an County by now.

Upon hearing that Duan Zhengchun was about to leave, Wanyan Ping bit her lip, her face instantly filled with disappointment...
