Can't a girl be a traitor like Cao Cao?

Sure enough, when Hui Zhilan walked over there, she saw her beautiful figure projected onto the window under the light of the room.

And... a strangely familiar voice.

Hui Zhilan was stunned, somewhat incredulous.

But as you get closer, the sound becomes clearer.

It was... the sound of a kiss.

And it was an extremely intense, tender, and passionate kiss that was hard to contain.

"...Chirp...Sizzle...Sizzle...Chirp..."

Hui Zhilan was surprised and couldn't help but cover her mouth as she walked to the door.

Through the half-open door, she could clearly hear a woman's panting coming from inside.

Lost in passion and intoxicated.

And the voice was extremely familiar to her.

She could hardly believe it, so she immediately pushed open the door and looked inside.

Sure enough, Hui Sanmei was seen leaning against Chi Junlin with her clothes disheveled.

He was being held in her arms, and the two embraced passionately, their lips meeting in a kiss.

Hui Zhilan was stunned on the spot.

When Hui Sanmei saw Hui Zhilan arrive, she was startled and parted from Chi Junlin's lips.

Then she grabbed her collar, her face flushed and panting, "Sister...you...why are you here?"

As for Chi Junlin, he heard Hui Zhilan's familiar footsteps early on, clearly knowing that Hui Zhilan had arrived outside the door.

However, she showed no sign of stopping.

Because wasn't it Hui Zhilan who made her do this in the first place?

Hui Zhilan was also surprised at this moment.

She stared blankly at the two of them, stammering, "You...you...you actually..."

Hui Sanmei felt extremely ashamed and wished she could disappear into a hole.

Chi Junlin, however, looked puzzled.

Judging from Hui Zhilan's reaction, could it be that she was completely unaware of this matter?

At this moment, Hui Zhilan seemed to find it hard to accept, covered her mouth, and turned to run away.

Chi Junlin naturally wouldn't just sit idly by and watch her leave.

He immediately got up and used his lightness skill.

He caught up with Hui Zhilan in no time.

Chapter 267 When you and I, sisters, join forces, how can we possibly defeat a single general!

Chi Junlin possessed excellent lightness skills and was extremely fast. He stopped Hui Zhilan before she had even taken two steps away.

Then she wrapped her arms around his waist and held him in her arms.

After being embraced by Chi Junlin, Hui Zhilan immediately began to struggle in her arms.

"You...let me go...don't touch me..."

"What's wrong with you? Why are you so angry?"

As Chi Junlin spoke, he grabbed Hui Zhilan's hand.

Upon hearing this, Hui Zhilan glared at Chi Junlin, her eyes slightly red, and said, "You still ask me! How could you... how could you do this to her..."

Upon hearing this, Chi Junlin said with a slightly innocent expression, "Didn't you tell me to do this?"

"When did I ever tell you to do that! Don't talk nonsense!"

"The way you acted back then, wasn't that exactly what made me feel this way?"

As Chi Junlin spoke, he mimicked Hui Zhilan's expression from that time, making faces and making faces, which made Hui Zhilan feel both annoyed and amused.

Then, exasperated, she said, "I told you to comfort her! Not to do this!"

Chi Junlin was stunned for a moment, as if he had finally realized what was happening.

But since things had come to this, all he could do was stubbornly insist, "I was just trying to comfort her."

Hui Zhilan was both anxious and angry. Seeing Chi Junlin's feigned innocent expression, she pinched her arm hard.

Then he questioned, "Is this how you comfort her? I told you to comfort her, not that I told you to comfort her!"

Seeing this, Chi Junlin couldn't continue his unreasonable behavior and could only honestly hug her, saying, "I was wrong, I apologize. Please don't be angry, okay?"

Hui Zhilan glared at her, looking sullen and unwilling to speak.

At this moment, Chi Junlin said to Hui Zhilan, "I did misunderstand you, but have you noticed that Hui Sanmei's mood has improved a lot these past few days?"

"Don't you see she's not in as much pain as before? She's even better off than when Lai Yuanwei was alive?"

Upon hearing this, Hui Zhilan pondered for a moment.

Thinking about it that way, I think Chi Junlin is right.

Compared to when Hui Zhilan first came to Xiangshui County, Hui Sanmei's condition has indeed improved a lot.

She often had a smile on her face, and her complexion was rosy with joy in her eyes.

It has an indescribable charm.

Seeing Hui Zhilan's somewhat dazed expression, Chi Junlin smiled and asked, "Do you know why?"

Hui Zhilan subconsciously asked, "Why?"

"Think again?"

Upon hearing this, Hui Zhilan suddenly realized what was happening.

Chi Junlin was pointing the finger at himself.

Hui Sanmei is the same as her.

It was all because of Chi Junlin's care and love that they received the nourishment of love, and that's why...

But even so, it's a bit hard to accept emotionally.

Hui Zhilan stared at Chi Junlin without saying a word.

Seeing this, Chi Junlin continued to persuade her gently, "You should think it over carefully. She has finally managed to get out of her predicament. But just now you saw her with me and left in such a huff."

What does that mean to her? What do you think she'll think? Will she feel guilty towards you?

Upon hearing this, Hui Zhilan hesitated again.

Because what Red King said was obvious.

This situation is like having a first-come, first-served rule; since I've already been there first, it makes Hui Sanmei seem like she's stealing someone else's love...

Although this word is somewhat inappropriate here, it gives people that feeling—or rather, that's what Hui Sanmei would think.

Then she might feel guilty towards Hui Zhilan.

Furthermore, Hui Sanmei... will probably suffer even more from this.

This was also an outcome that Hui Zhilan could not accept.

Seeing the change in Hui Zhilan's expression, Chi Junlin knew that her state of mind had shifted.

He looked at her and asked, "Have you thought it through?"

"Ah."

"If you've thought it through, come back with me. That way, she won't worry so much."

"..."

Hui Zhilan glanced at Chi Junlin with a complicated expression, seemingly helpless against her.

He could only sigh and say, "Fine..."

Then, together with Chi Junlin, they quickly returned to their room.

Hui Sanmei sat in the room, her heart filled with worry after seeing Chi Junlin chasing Hui Zhilan out.

When she saw Hui Zhilan's expression, she felt as if she had done something wrong.

Looking back, Hui Zhilan had always loved her dearly since she was a child and had never let her suffer any grievances.

But now, he has betrayed Hui Zhilan's trust in him.

She felt somewhat annoyed and deeply regretful.

Just as he was thinking this, he saw Hui Zhilan and Chi Junlin walk in hand in hand from outside the door.

Hui Zhilan looked at Hui Sanmei with a complicated expression, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

Hui Sanmei quickly interjected, "I'm not..."

"You don't need to say anything more."

Hui Zhilan raised her hand to stop Hui Sanmei from continuing.

He continued, "Miss Lin Jun has explained to me...this matter...is indeed not your fault..."

Hui Sanmei was stunned, not expecting Hui Zhilan to forgive her so easily.

Then, Hui Zhilan revealed a complicated expression and looked at Chi Junlin, saying, "So, I've made up my mind. I'll leave for now. You should comfort Third Sister properly..."

As she spoke, Hui Zhilan turned to leave.

Upon hearing this, Hui Sanmei immediately stood up and cried out in a panic, "Sister..."

Clearly, his emotions were in complete disarray.

However, Chi Junlin clearly wouldn't let her leave so easily.

Without saying a word, he embraced Hui Zhilan and kissed her.

"Waaah—Chirp—No…chirp…pop—"

Hui Zhilan tried her best to resist Chi Junlin, but the more she resisted, the weaker and more powerless her body became.

She seemed to have gotten used to Chi Junlin's kisses; with just an expression or a breath, she would naturally move closer to him.

Clearly, compared to Hui Zhilan's inner resistance, her own body understood better what she truly wanted.

After a brief kiss, Chi Junlin released her.

Then she saw that her face was flushed and she was panting heavily, turning her face to the side.

"You're not leaving tonight, so you'll have to stay here."

Chi Junlin smiled and hugged her, saying softly, "I suppose Third Sister also hopes you can stay."

Upon hearing this, Hui Zhilan turned to look at Hui Sanmei.

She blushed and nodded slightly, her eyes filled with shyness.

Hui Zhilan had no choice but to bite her lip and silently accept Chi Junlin's proposal.

What else could she do? Now, she and Hui Sanmei are the same; they can no longer live without Chi Junlin…

Seeing this, Chi Junlin smiled slightly and picked her up.

Then he turned around and gently kicked the wooden door shut again.

The three figures then merged into one in the lamplight.

As the saying goes:

Two beautiful orioles flit through the willow branches, their fragrance lingering in the quilt. Warmth and sweetness melt away, like clouds drooping, while chrysanthemums by the railing softly sing. Beauties and radiant flowers adorn the scene like celestial beings, but the phoenix has not yet returned to its pearl palace. No one's head has fallen, yet your very marrow has withered away.

It remains to be seen whether Hui Zhilan and Hui Sanmei will be able to rediscover the joy of sharing a single piece of fruit in their childhood after this night...

Chapter 268 Into the Tiger's Den

Two more days passed.

The sailors in the bandit-suppression corps of Xiangshui County have been training as usual these past few days. Nothing seems out of the ordinary.
