Falling in love while doing tasks [Quick Wear]

The autumn wind blows on people's faces, bringing gusts of cold.

Near noon, the long freight convoy finally entered Wuyang Town, led by Dankler, the leader of the Malelin tribe.

Feeling the strange looks from passers-by, Dankler felt like he was walking on a knife edge with every step he took, and his heart was bleeding with pain.

One hundred sheep, one hundred horses, and two hundred loads of hides; the Malelin tribe has lost such a huge amount of property that they will have a hard winter this year.

Dankler thought with a gloomy face. Although the sun was high above his head, he could feel the chill of winter surrounding his body.

In Gouyue Tower, the seats nearest to the window were filled with people. On the table was a plate of roasted melon seeds and a plate of juicy purple grapes.

Yan Shengyi and Song Xu sat next to each other, eating grapes while watching the other four people playing dice.

The four of them had more than a dozen copper coins in their hands, and they took turns rolling the dice to compare the size. They had been competing for half a morning, and the four of them were evenly matched in strength, and the number of copper coins in their hands was also similar.

Yan Shengyi felt bored after watching for a long time, so he lowered his head and concentrated on pinching Song Xu's hand, gently rubbing the calluses on the palm of Song Xu's palm, making her palm itchy.

"Shengsheng, stop touching it, it's itchy."
Song Xu couldn't help himself, whispered something, and then tried to pull his hand back.

Yan Sheng also chuckled and held Song Xu's hand, slowly interlocking their fingers.

"Tsk."
Wu Qian was leaning against the window, cracking melon seeds with his free hand, and his eyes were sore just watching the two people interacting.
Unable to bear it any longer, he turned his head to look out the window, and immediately saw the alien freight convoy getting closer and closer.

Looking at the flock of sheep being driven into a straight line, Wu Qian's eyes lit up. He put down the melon seeds and urged:
"Hurry, hurry, the people from the Mallerin tribe are here."

"What are you in a hurry for?"
Yan Shengyi rolled his eyes at her, then stood up slowly, holding Song Xu's hand, and they slowly walked to the door.

Looking at the long line of fat sheep and fine horses, Yan Shengyi's mood instantly improved a lot.

Even seeing the dark face of the leader, Dankler, could not affect her good mood.

Song Xu was obviously infected by her emotions. He looked at those fat sheep with interest, then leaned close to Yan Shengyi's ear and asked;

"Shall we eat lamb tonight?"

"eat!"
Yan Sheng also nodded in affirmation, then raised his hand and pointed at those fat sheep and said:
"A Xu, what do you think of roasted whole lamb? Although the people in Motan are not very good, they are good at raising sheep. The mutton is delicious and has little fishy smell. It is perfect for roasting whole lamb. I have only eaten it once before, but I can still remember the taste."

"Yeah!"
Before Song Xu could say anything, Wu Qian, who came over, answered first.

She looked at the sheep getting closer and closer, rubbed her hands excitedly, and her eyes flashed with the light of "foodie".

"Boss, this evening's meal will depend on your cooking skills. It's been a while since I've tasted your cooking skills. Hey, right, Hongmu?"

Sensing Yan Shengyi's dangerous gaze, Wu Qian simply pulled his little medicine boy to use as a shield.

But Hongmu is also a little foodie who follows his master closely, and he has a simple mind, so he just keeps nodding and saying "yes".

Several people were standing at the door talking, it was really lively. Dankler's face became darker and darker just listening. But there was nothing he could do, he had to endure it because he was controlled by others.

Stopping at the bottom of the stairs, Dankler raised his hand and saluted.

"Master Left Protector, I have brought the goods as agreed. Can you please release me?"

Yan Sheng also raised his chin slightly and said loudly:
"The person is at the same dock as last time. Chief Dankler, please go and get him yourself. I won't send you."

"Thank you, sir."
Dankler's complexion looked a little better. He bowed slightly and saluted again, then waved and left quickly with the rest of his men.

As soon as the people from the Malerin tribe left, Yan Shengyi called out directly inside, and all the waiters ran out immediately, separating the sheep and horses and driving them in two directions.

Half of the 200 loads of leather were loaded on horseback, and the other half were loaded on a two-wheeled cart.

Yan Shengyi took Song Xu to the carts. There were more than a dozen carts filled to the brim with tanned animal skins of various colors.

Yan Shengyi checked the animal skins on each cart one by one and picked out a small basket of snow-white fox skins.

"A Xu, how about making winter clothes for you? These should be enough to make a long cape, a coat, and the rest can also make a pair of boots. How do you like it?"

Yan Shengyi held the snow-white fur in both hands and approached Song Xu as if presenting a treasure, with an excited look on his face.

Song Xu reached out and touched the soft fur, then looked at Yan Shengyi's expectant face. She raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at her without a smile.

"This is a rare and fine piece of leather, and you got it with great difficulty. Why are you making clothes out of it, Lord Left Protector?"

The last few words seemed to be repeatedly ground by the teeth, and mixed with weight between the lips and tongue before they came out. Yan Shengyi's heart trembled when he heard it, and his brain was stuck in an instant.

Song Xu narrowed his eyes and looked at her dazed look. His face seemed expressionless, but in fact, there was a smile in his eyes.

"Um, Ah Xu, I, I was wrong."

After hesitating for a long time without being able to say anything, Yan Shengyi lowered his eyes and admitted his mistake directly with an honest and sincere attitude.

However, under the fur, a hand quietly held Song Xu's hand, and kept shaking it gently, as if playing a trick.

Song Xu looked at her hand that she quietly held, and somehow, he suddenly remembered some conversations he had seen on the Internet in the original world, and he became interested for a moment.

"Then tell me, where did you go wrong?"

"what?"
Yan Shengyi didn't expect that admitting his mistake was useless, and his own Ah Xu seemed to be even angrier.
"Where did I go wrong?"

Song Xu didn't say anything. He just put the fox fur in her arms back into the basket, then pulled her towards Gou Yue Tower.

Yan Shengyi looked at Song Xu's posture and felt extremely uneasy.
It's over. It looks like Ah Xu is really angry. It's all her fault for not telling me her identity clearly. Now Ah Xu is angry. What should she do?
Unconsciously, Yan Sheng, with a sad face, followed Song Xu upstairs with a nervous heart. In fact, he didn't even have time to pay attention to Wu Qian's gloating expression.

Song Xu pulled her up to the third floor and pushed the door into the room.

"sit down."
Pushing Yan Shengyi to sit at the table, Song Xu was about to let go of her hand to pour a cup of tea, but she held it tightly.

"A Xu, I was wrong, please don't be angry, okay?"

Yan Shengyi looked at Song Xu with trepidation, his eyes filled with panic and fear.

She was afraid that Ah Xu would really be angry, and even more afraid that Ah Xu would not want her.

She is the left protector of the Demon Cult. In the eyes of those righteous sects in the martial arts world, she is a female devil who has done all kinds of evil and deserves to be killed by anyone.

Ah Xu is Ning Xiong's granddaughter, and she used to be on the righteous side. Now that Ah Xu knows that he is the Left Protector of the Demon Sect, will Ah Xu cut off all ties with him?

This is Yan Shengyi's biggest concern, and it is also the reason why she had previously concealed this identity from Song Xu.

Song Xu looked at her uneasy expression, as if he saw himself in the previous two worlds.

Inferiority, timidity and distrust of others always put oneself in an endless cycle of despair, struggling without any escape.

Song Xu suddenly sighed, sat down, and held Yan Shengyi's hands with both hands.
"Shengsheng, you are not wrong, but you are also wrong."

"No, Ah Xu, I was wrong. I was wrong. I shouldn't have hidden it from you. It's all my fault. Please don't be angry."

Yan Shengyi held Song Xu's hand tightly, biting his lips hard and apologizing non-stop, looking so pitiful that Song Xu felt distressed.

She raised her hand and touched Yan Shengyi's cheek, her fingers gently brushed across the corners of her eyes, wiping away the wet marks.

"Shengsheng, listen to me, I'm not angry."

Song Xu spoke softly and gently, "I don't mean to blame you. I just want you to know that you will always be the most important in my heart. No matter what happens, I will never be separated from you."

"Axu."
Yan Shengyi's eyes became redder and redder, and tears soaked the corners of her eyes. She washed her nose and said in a muffled voice:
"Me too. I love you the most. In this life or the next, I will never leave you."

"Okay, we will always be together."
Song Xu smiled gently, and her frost-covered facial features instantly became lively. The expression on her smiling face was gentle, which made Yan Shengyi stunned.

She reached out and touched the corner of Song Xu's curved lips, whispering incredulously:
“I really laughed.”

"Yes, because of the sound, I laughed."
The smile on Song Xu's face became even more intense, and he successfully saw the obsession in Yan Shengyi's eyes.

It was not a fleeting smile like last time. This time it was like the first peach bud quietly blooming on a branch in early spring, and then spreading to the entire tree, with peach blossoms dotting the branches.

"Ah Xu, you look so beautiful when you smile."
Yan Shengyi stared at Song Xu's smile, and his face blushed slightly as he was obsessed with it.

"is it?"
Song Xu lowered her eyes and chuckled, with a smile on the corners of her eyes and eyebrows. Yan Sheng was so amazed that she opened her eyes wide and refused to blink, for fear of missing even a bit of the beauty of her beloved.

Song Xu couldn't help but smile again when she saw Yan Shengyi's silly look, which made her feel dizzy and as if she was floating on the ground.

Just when she was dizzy, Song Xu leaned close and gave her a gentle kiss on the lips. The soft kiss carried a faint fragrance, which made her even more intoxicated.

"A Xu, kiss me again, I want this side too."

Yan Shengyi pursed her lips, then immediately raised her hand and pointed to the other side, pleading to Song Xu like a spoiled child.

She didn't even need to beg, Song Xu satisfied her directly, leaned over and kissed the place where her fingers were, and then directly kissed her slightly upturned red lips.

"Well"

The sweet kiss with the scent of flowers came unexpectedly, and her eyes widened, and then she immediately took the initiative. She stretched out her hands and directly hugged Song Xu's slender waist, bringing the petite person into her arms and hugging her tightly.

The intimate touch of soft lips is the sweet taste of love that belongs only to lovers, making the two lovers addicted and unable to extricate themselves for a long time.

The long and lingering kiss finally ended, and the two slowly separated from each other, breathing slightly, with some reluctance in their eyes.

Song Xu's extremely light-colored lips turned crimson at this moment, not to mention Yan Shengyi's originally bright red lips.

Yan Shengyi looked at Song Xu's rosy lips, smiled smugly, then buried his head in her neck and rubbed it gently.

While whispering some sweet words, he would secretly kiss Song Xu's collarbone from time to time and take advantage of her, his movements were extremely sticky.

Song Xu had asked System 33 once before if she could use the system's ability to restore normal facial movements. But she didn't expect that now that her face had completely recovered, even her body had become much more sensitive. Yan Shengyi rubbed her neck, making her feel a little itchy. So Song Xu put his arm around her back and patted her gently, saying:
"Shengsheng, hurry up, now we should have a good talk about the matter of the Left Protector."

The body of the person in his arms stiffened for a moment, then slowly relaxed.

Yan Sheng also raised his head and looked at her, and said softly with some grievance:
"Ah Xu, are you really angry? You won't even let me hug you."

Song Xu suppressed the smile on his lips and asked in a pretended cold tone:
"Do you think I'm angry?"

Yan Shengyi glanced at her, but didn't dare to say anything. He just pursed his lips and obediently let her go.

Song Xu looked at her lowering her head and raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Why don't you speak?"

Yan Shengyi pinched his fingers, looked up at her when he heard the words, and breathed a sigh of relief when he found that there was a smile in her eyes.
"I'm afraid you'll be angry."

"Aren't you afraid that I'll get angry if you don't say anything?"

Song Xu picked up the teapot on the table and poured a cup of tea for each of them.

"Or in Shengsheng's eyes, am I such an angry person?"

"No."
Yan Shengyi retorted subconsciously, then scratched his head helplessly, and then said as if he couldn't control himself:
"A Xu is a very lovely person."

With a "bang", the porcelain cup filled with clear tea fell to the ground. The broken porcelain pieces scattered and the tea mixed in them quickly soaked the blanket on the ground, leaving a mess in the end.

"Ah Xu, what's wrong with you? Let me see if you are injured?"

Yan Shengyi anxiously pulled Song Xu's hand to check, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he found no scars.

Then he noticed the corner of her skirt was wet with tea, and quickly bent down to lift the hem of her skirt to check the condition of her ankles.

Song Xu looked at her in a daze, then let her do what she wanted. His throat seemed to be blocked by something and he couldn't utter a word.

After checking that there were no signs of injury on Song Xu's feet and legs from the teacup fragments, Yan Shengyi finally felt relieved.

It was only when I looked up and saw Song Xu's slightly empty and dazed eyes that I felt truly heartbroken.

"Ah Xu?"
Yan Shengyi raised his hand and waved it slowly in front of her eyes, then called her with a worried look on his face.

"Ok?"
Song Xu suddenly came back to his senses, and his head hurt as if it was about to explode. He frowned, barely holding back the pain and not showing it.

Fortunately, the pain in my head only lasted for a moment, and the tension in my head also relaxed a little.

Yan Sheng also reached out and gently stroked her Jinzhou's brow, and the warmth of his fingertips smoothed out a mark.
"Ah Xu, are you feeling unwell?"

"I am fine."
Faced with Yan Shengyi's worry, Song Xu just smiled lightly and quickly changed the subject.

"I just really want to know all of Shengsheng's secrets. You can't hide it from me this time."

"it is good."
Yan Sheng also nodded repeatedly, and then he was adopted by the former master of the Demon Cult, and later served as the left protector with his high martial arts. Later, he left the Demon Cult and traveled around, and finally hung up the sign of Gouyue Tower in Wuyang Town.

Song Xu couldn't help but smile as he listened to her explaining everything in great detail.

When Yan Shengyi finally finished speaking, Song Xu handed over the full teacup and said with a smile:

"Did Shengsheng hide his identity as the Left Protector because he was afraid that I would mind?"

"Ah."
Yan Shengyi nodded while drinking water, his big eyes blinking constantly, and his cute appearance successfully made Song Xu laugh.

As soon as Yan Shengyi put down the cup, Song Xu raised his hand and pinched her cheek, smiling:

"Shengsheng is so cute, why would I mind? So what if you are the Left Protector of the Demon Cult? Aren't you my Shengsheng?"

Yan Sheng also let Song Xu pinch his face, still smiling happily, and said affirmatively:

"Yes, yes, yes! I am Xu's Shengsheng, and then the Left Protector."

Song Xu finally withdrew his hand with satisfaction, then stood up together with Yan Shengyi.

"Come on, let's go downstairs. I want to eat the roasted whole lamb you made."

"Okay! If you want to eat it, Ah Xu, I will cook it for you every day. Anyway, we have a hundred sheep, which can last us for half a year. If it's not enough, we can ask the foreigners in Motan to send us more."

Yan Shengyi waved his hand generously and directly set his sights on the Motan aliens for food.
If the Malelin tribe, who started this, knew about this, they would probably cry their hearts out.

Seeing her happy expression, Song Xu just smiled and shook his head without saying anything else.

*
The deeper the autumn goes, the earlier the night falls.

By the time the roasted whole lamb that Yan Shengyi had been busy preparing for the entire afternoon was finally cooked, the dark blue night sky was already dotted with tiny stars, and a crescent moon lay slantingly on the thin gray clouds, showing the world the comfort that was unique to the night.

Yan Shengyi put down the knife, looked up at the sky, grabbed a towel to wipe his hands, and then called Lu Ya over.

"Luya, come and give me a hand and cut half of the meat. Your table can eat first."

Lu Ya nodded, picked up the knife and skillfully began to choose the place to cut the meat.

Yan Shengyi wiped his hands clean, threw the towel aside, then walked into the lobby and went upstairs to wake Song Xu up.

Song Xu didn't look very energetic since the two of them came downstairs at noon. She forced herself to finish lunch and was about to start slaughtering the sheep when Yan Shengyi directly urged her to go upstairs to sleep.

But he slept for a whole afternoon, and Yan Shengyi always felt a little uneasy.

Yan Shengyi gently pushed open the door, looked at the pitch-black room, slowly groped his way to the table and lit the oil lamp. The warm yellow light softly illuminated the room.

Only half of the bed curtain was let down, the other half was still hanging.

Yan Shengyi could clearly see the figure lying on the bed with the help of the light.

"Ah Xu, it's time to get up."

Approaching the bed, Yan Sheng also pulled up the loose bed curtains, leaned over and whispered softly in Song Xu's ear, and patted her shoulders twice to wake her up from her deep sleep.

As soon as Song Xu opened his eyes, he saw Yan Shengyi's face. His expression naturally revealed a deep attachment. He raised his hands, put them around her shoulders, and pulled her towards him with force.

Yan Sheng was also caught off guard and quickly supported himself on both sides of Song Xu's body with his hands to avoid actually pressing down.

He heaved a sigh of relief and was about to say something nice to her, but when he saw her confused expression which was not yet fully awake, Yan Sheng's heart softened.

I could only coax him softly, "Okay, dear Ah Xu, get up quickly, we still have to go eat roasted whole lamb."

"Sheep? Shengsheng, roast, eat sheep"

Song Xu leaned close to Yan Shengyi's face, speaking incoherent words. Only Yan Shengyi could understand what he was saying.

"Yes, let's eat the sheep. Let's get up first, okay?"

Finally, he carried the person up and sat him up, and Yan Sheng turned around to get the wet towel on the shelf.

Song Xu stared blankly at the cupping jar on the table that was jumping slightly, and his dull mind finally cleared up.
"Sound."

"Huh? What's wrong?"
Yan Shengyi came over with a handkerchief and wiped her face carefully himself.

"nothing."
Song Xu closed his eyes obediently, tilted his head back and felt the other person's gentle movements. After a while, he said again:
"I'm hungry."

Yan Shengyi smiled and put away the handkerchief, then gently pinched Song Xu's cheek like she had pinched her during the day.

"Okay, we can go down and eat the roasted whole lamb now."

The two of them came down hand in hand, and below them were four people eating enthusiastically around a table.

When he saw the two people coming down, he only had time to look up and say hello, and then continued to eat.

Yan Shengyi glanced at the table with disdain, then smiled and looked at Song Xu before going to the backyard.

It was still the stone table where the two of them often ate. In the middle of the table was the chopped mutton, with some side dishes and fruits beside it.

This stone table was originally used by Yan Shengyi alone. Later, when Song Xu came, two people started eating at this stone table. Perhaps in the distant future, there will still be two people.

"Come on, Ah Xu, try it."
Yan Shengyi picked up the first chopstick of mutton and fed it directly to Song Xu, then looked at her expectantly.
"what about the taste?"

Song Xu chewed the mutton in his mouth carefully, his cheeks puffed up slightly, which made Yan Shengyi's eyes seem to be shining.

"It's delicious. Shengsheng's cooking is really good."

Yan Shengyi was absolutely right, the mutton was delicious, and after being cooked by her, it tasted even more fresh, fragrant and delicious, not greasy or smelly.

Hearing praise from a loved one always makes people feel satisfied, at least that's the case with Yan Sheng.

She put the meat into Song Xu's bowl with several chopsticks, and urged happily:
"Come on, eat more."

Song Xu was not slow either. He used his chopsticks to fill half a bowl for Yan Shengyi.
"Shengsheng should eat more too."

"Okay, let's eat together."
He agreed with a smile, and watched Song Xu start eating before Yan Shengyi finally picked up his chopsticks.

The moon is bright and the stars are shining. The night is like fine wine, and the delicious food makes the whole world intoxicated.
