Chapter 44 Won
Unknowingly, Zhao Zimu’s and Lin Qing’s interaction with each other had become different. Perhaps neither of them had found out that the two people who were cold and cheerless like two clouds at the horizon was infected by the vitality of the world and had become lively like having a new life. And the original gloomy and paranoid person put away his spikes because of being with the person he loves and also became gentle and vividly.
Love will make people change. Just like how Zhao Zimu and Lin Qing would change into less like themselves. Perhaps, they know, perhaps they don’t know, but they were willing.
Lin Qing who had always been vicious and ruthless was like an immature child at this moment and was eating the vinegar of every women and perhaps every man. Even if this would make him lose every scrap of reputation and his image completely gone. He only wants to get what he wants. For this, he was willing to sacrifice everything.
Eating the vinegar: jealous
To prevent Lin Qing from speaking anymore, Zhao Zimu chose to change strategy. The long and narrow eyebrows were raised and a wicked smile appeared on her face. She asked him smilingly, “Soft?”
Lin Qing naturally knew what she was referring to. Although, his palms were getting warm, but he didn’t plan on letting the question go and stubborn, “You still haven’t answered my previous question.” While he spoke, he rubbed her chest. Mm, very soft.
Zhao Zimu’s face darkened a bit. Was it not over yet? Also, she didn’t mind that he put his hand on her chest. If he wants to rub, she will let him be. Anyway, she wouldn’t suffer losses. However, it was better to talk about such embarrassing topic in another way.
Taking advantage of Lin Qing’s unpreparedness, she lifted his body. Her hand strengthened, she turned him over to lay on her. The temperature of the man’s body made Zhao Zimu feel very comfortable. Uh, but it’s a bit heavy.
While she restrained the person who struggled, she said at the subordinates behind him who were like stone sculptures and wood carvings, “Get out.”
No one moved. Some people even looked at her with caution. Xiao Lianzi didn’t know what to do, but for the sake of Lord Qiansui, he could only grit his teeth in the end and wanted to “free” Lord Qiansui from above beauty Zhao.
The subordinate was very loyal, but Lord Qiansui didn’t seem to appreciate it. A head was exposed from Zhao Zimu’s shoulder. A fierce and unhappy gaze swept over the subordinates like ice dagger. It made everyone feel cold instantly and immediately disappeared like the wind.
It was better to not hinder Lord Qiansui…
After everyone and Ling Er who looked at them weirdly retreated, Zhao Zimu smiled at the struggling person who was about to fly into rage out of embarrassment and asked, “Do you really want to go on like this?”
Lin Qing glared once at her. The threat in his eyes was obvious. Before, he could act up, Zhao Zimu said, “But I want to hold you. Could it be that you don’t want to?” Moreover, she revealed a slightly disappointed look.
A joke! He couldn’t lose the poise of a man! Lin Qing turned over and stood beside her. There was a slight annoyance in the eyes looking at Zhao Zimu.
Zhao Zimu didn’t spoke. It was just that her expression gradually turned faint and her eyes were cold and indifferent like a cloud in the sky. A cloud that was so high and far away that it was unable to be grasped.
Lin Wing became a bit flustered because of Zhao Zimu’s indifferent eyes, but Zhao Zimu quickly withdrew that expression and said with a serious expression, “You are not the most beautiful, but in my eyes, you are the most beautiful.” At the end, she added, “I didn’t lie.”
But then Zhao Zimu smiled and said, “I like you, but if you don’t want to be intimate with me, forget it…”
Forget what? This time, Lin Qing was truly a bit angry. Without any tenderness, he put his hand on Zhao Zimu’s neck and said, “What forget it? Explain clearly!”
He had never seen such a fickle person before. A second before, she said she liked you and the next second, she told you to forget it! How could there be such a person in this world?!
Perhaps, Lin Qing had seen such people before because there were so many women in emperor Jinghui’s harem as hairs. But Lin Qing never cared. It was just that he cared about this person. He couldn’t take the cold and fickle words from her mouth. She even seemed to have the intention of giving up on him. How could he tolerate that? He would hold the person he cares about firmly and wouldn’t give her the slightest chance to escape!
How could she give up on him?! He wouldn’t allow it!
It was uncomfortable when someone put his hand on her neck, but Zhao Zimu didn’t resist. After all, she owed him in her previous life. She also didn’t expect him to be so stirred up. If he wants her life in this lifetime, she wouldn’t resist. It was just a pity, pity that she wanted to go try to love someone after two lifetimes, but she may not have this talent.
Zhao Zimu didn’t struggle or resist and even closed her eyes obediently. She also used her internal strength to seal her breath. It seemed good to fall asleep like that.
Lin Qing panicked. Looking at the person who closed her eyes, he immediately let go. He didn’t want to treat her like this, but he couldn’t control himself. His hands trembled uncontrollably. Then, he grabbed her shoulder and shook them, “Zimu, Zhao Zimu! Zhao Zimu!”
A desperate voice with repressed emotions sounded at her ears. Suddenly, something wet and cold dripped on her face. Zhao Zimu suppressed the eyes that wanted to open reflexively. She knew what it was. That was a love and hate that someone have for her.
She pulled Lin Qing onto her without opening her eyes. She seemed arrogant and overbearing. She knew that she had thrown a temper. Not only did it annoy Lin Qing, she also didn’t know why she threw a temper. However, she prepared to love one person in two lifetimes, she also wanted to be unreasonable for once.
Her fingertips slid over the corner of Lin Qing’s warm eyes, slid down his neck all the way to his waist; gently comforting his trembling body.
She could feel his fear. He was truly scared. His body was close to her and his head was buried in her neck. She felt could feel every tremor clearly. What did she do to deserve this….?
Not wanting to hurt this person anymore, Zhao Zimu lowered her head with eyes closed and asked, “You like me?” She had to ask because he had never said it with his own mouth this lifetime. It seemed that he also did not in the past lifetime.
The person on her body seemed to have paused for a long time before he lightly nodded his head. Joy emerged in Zhao Zimu’s heart. Then she asked, “Then, will you be with me in this way forever in this life?” The person on her nodded again.
Although, Zhao Zimu was very happy, she hesitated, “I may be a bit overbearing. If you are with me, I won’t let any other women be with you. Everything about you must belong to me.” This time, Lin Qing directly pinched on her body fiercely. Zhao Zimu’s mouth tightened from pain. So cruel! Then, as if he was afraid that she would misunderstand, he quickly nodded his head on her body.
Although, Zhao Zimu didn’t see it, but she felt that the expression on her face must be awkward now. Lin Qing also shouldn’t have seen it since his head was buried in her neck. She continued, “Then, can you tolerate me holding you intimately like this?” The person on her nodded quickly without hesitation this time. It seemed that throwing a temper just now was effective….
It seemed that it was almost done by asking these questions. However, somethings that should be said, she still wanted Lin Qing to say them. Zhao Zimu opened her eyes and raised Lin Qing’s head to look at her. Lin Qing saw that her faint eyes seemed to be stained with humanity. Then, he heard Zhao Zimu said to him, “Lin Qing, I don’t know what kind of person I am in your heart, but I feel that I am such a person; ruthless, unfeeling, overbearing and selfish. I don’t have much love, but if you are willing to accept all of these, I will give all my love to you. Do, do you want it?”
Lin Qing stared at the humanity in her eyes that drifted around and said firmly, “I want!”
Then, Lin Qing saw that the humanity in the woman’s eyes fixed and turned into firework of the human world that he could touch and this firework also bloomed in his heart.
Lin Qing won. He had pulled this person who was untouchable like cloud to the human world.
Zhao Zimu also won because she let this gloomy, ruthless and awkward person withdraw his line of defense each time and she was waiting for him to be utterly defeated.
Zhao Zimu stroked Lin Qing’s head and said, “Now, can you tell me why you are in a bad mood today?”
“I’m in a bad mood?” Lin Qing was puzzled. He changed into a comfortable posture to lay on her. Since, they had already talked and he was forced to throw away his armor, then he didn’t have to be polite with her anymore. Anyway, he wouldn’t suffer losses…
Zhao Zimu laughed, “The moment you entered, you put on a bad expression. Moreover, you didn’t accept my fawning. Then, you pinched and was annoyed. I don’t think that this was only because of me.”
Lin Qing wanted to roll his eyes. He was sure that his lack of composure today was entirely due to this person in front of him. However, he had to refute because he still wants some image after all. He said, “The Xiongnu will probably stir up trouble again and the officials of my dynasty are all softies. The frontier army only knows how to urge for payments and army provisions. Seeing that the other party had the intention to be friendly, they sent gold and food. Is the Xiongnu truly so nice? It will be better to give me the benefits than giving them to the Xiongnu. Could it be that the lessons the Xiongnu taught over the years were all for nothing?!”
Lin Qing’s face was gloomy. Zhao Zimu kissed his forehead and comforted him, “You can’t do anything about these matters. You don’t have to get angry because of them. I think that something is a bit wrong with the Xiongnu this time. Usually, during this time of the year, they would bring their soldiers and horses and couldn’t wait to fight with our Great Liang and rob some things for the winter. Why did they happen to come this year during this time? Moreover, they stayed for so long.”
The citizens of Liang capital were aware that the Xiongnu had come. After all, this matter was an honorable thing. Moreover, the matter that some envoys of the Xiongnu had died was also abuzz. Even if Zhao Zimu rarely went out, but it was enough for Ling Er who like to chitchat told her.
Lin Qing smiled softly, “Perhaps, they wanted to rob my Great Liang in another way.”
Zhao Zimu quite liked his insidious and cunning look. After she kissed him on the forehead, she smiled, “If you don’t like them, I will help you drive them away.”
Lin Qing felt heartwarming when he heard these words, but he didn’t think that these words would come true in the future.
