Young Master, Don't Show Off - Chapter 204

[Chapter 204 Qin Wan’s Reward]

Lin Xiu held Qin Wan’s restless hand on his chest and said in a low voice: “If I admit defeat, will the things you promised me still count?”

Qin Wan shook her head and said: “You are willing to accept the defeat. If you lose, then forget about those things…”

Lin Xiu took her hand away and said righteously: “In my dictionary, Lin Xiu, there is no word to admit defeat. Go to sleep!”

That night, Lin Xiu had a beautiful dream.

He dreamed of cicadas, butterflies turning in the sky, swallows with the same heart, and mandarin ducks buckling. In the dream, he and Qin Wan played all these postures, and later Cai Yi appeared beside him…

When he woke up, Lin Xiu still felt unsatisfied.

Then he knew why he had such a dream.

Qin Wan, who was sleeping soundly, lay on him like an octopus, tightly attached to him, with one hand restlessly placed on his abdomen, on the slightly protruding abdominal muscles.

She had a satisfied smile on her face, and no one knew what she dreamed about.

It was hot outside, but Lin Xiu’s body was cold. After falling asleep, Qin Wan unconsciously moved closer to him, just like a thirsty person in the desert who suddenly encountered an oasis and wanted to jump into the water.

If this bed is a desert, Lin Xiu is Qin Wan’s oasis.

At a certain moment, her eyelashes trembled, and she slowly opened her eyes. Seeing that Lin Xiu had woken up, she looked at her posture again, climbed up from his body without changing her face, and said, “Get up, it’s time to go.”

Lin Xiu was speechless. She could actually pretend that nothing had happened.

Not taking the initiative, not refusing, and not taking responsibility.

When he first met Qin Wan, he realized that this woman was very similar to him.

Sure enough, they were very similar.

They had obviously slept together, and they both understood each other’s thoughts, but they could still act as if nothing had happened. He was playing ambiguity with Qin Wan, and Qin Wan was also playing ambiguity with him.

If it was another innocent little virgin, I’m afraid he would have been played by her in the palm of his hand.

Compared with Qin Wan, Ning’er’s previous green tea behavior was simply a small witch compared to a big witch.

Lin Xiu himself was very familiar with this routine, so he didn’t make a fuss.

He also got up quickly, washed up simply, and went downstairs with her to have breakfast.

Downstairs, the two couples who were also having breakfast had strange expressions on their faces. Last night, the noise in that room was simply terrifying. Those who didn’t know would think that someone was fighting inside.

I really didn’t expect that this young couple would be so violent.

After breakfast, Lin Xiu and Qin Wan set off again and went all the way to Ningshan City.

Ningshan City is the capital of Ningshan Prefecture. It is not as good as Kyoto and Jiangnan Prefecture, but it is much more prosperous than the small town where they stopped last night.

According to the news from the undercover of the Tiandao League, this time, the gathering of important figures in the Tiandao League is here.

The capital city is the power center of a prefecture, and its defense force is naturally stronger than other cities. It stands to reason that the Tiandao League should choose other places for gatherings, but the capital city also has its advantages.

Other small towns usually have only a few thousand people, and there are only one or two inns. It is hard not to arouse people’s suspicion when many new faces suddenly appear in a short period of time.

However, the population of the prefectural city is large and the flow of people is dense, so it will not attract attention.

When Lin Xiu and Qin Wan arrived at Ningshan City, it was already night. They rushed into the city before the city gate closed, found an inn, and still only asked for a room.

According to the arrangement, he and Qin Wan needed to go to the Ningshan Prefecture government office and meet up with several other strong men, but it was too late today and the government office had already closed. They planned to stay for one night and go again tomorrow.

After arriving at the room, the first thing Qin Wan did was to take a bath.

After two days of running around, she was almost unbearable. Lin Xiu wanted the best room in this inn, which was twice as large as the one they stayed in last night. There was also a hot spring bath in the room, and hot water was provided for twelve hours.

It was worthy of being a prefectural city. The conditions of this inn were much better than the one they stayed in last night.

Lin Xiu asked Qin Wan, “How long will it take you to take a shower? I’ll go out for a walk and come back when you’re done.”

Qin Wan glanced at him and said, “You don’t have to go out, just cover yourself with a screen.” Lin

Xiu waved his hand and said, “Forget it, I’m afraid I can’t control myself. Take a quick shower. I’ll be back in half an hour at most.”

After that, he left the room and closed the door.

Although he also wanted to watch the beauty bathing in the room, Lin Xiu did not forget that he had serious things to do.

After leaving the inn, Lin Xiu walked into a dark alley and then disappeared completely.

Although the single-line contact method of the Tiandao League is secretive and safe, it also has a disadvantage. Once he loses contact with the upper line, he will never find the organization again.

Lin Xiu can only try his luck and search from one inn to another, hoping to hear some clues. If he can find Zheng Li directly, it would be even better.

He started from the inn where he lived.

He floated to the door of the room, and his hearing became extremely sharp.

In the first guest room on the first floor, there lived a businessman, who was playing with an abacus, as if he was checking accounts.

In the second guest room, a man and a woman were playing, and Lin Xiu didn’t dare to look in.

When passing by the door of her room, Qin Wan in the room suddenly asked vigilantly: “Who?”

Lin Xiu flew away quickly. Qin Wan’s special skill was mental power, and her spiritual sense and perception were also extremely strong. Last night, when the assassin came through the door, Lin Xiu and Qin Wan discovered him one after another.

In the next half hour, Lin Xiu flew to all the inns in the city.

However, he did not gain anything about the Tiandao League.

But other aspects opened his eyes.

In this half hour, he not only saw 娚, but also 嬲, 嫐, 奻, etc. Although he was knowledgeable, he was still shocked after hearing and seeing too much.

The ability of the wind-hearing ability attached to the sound technique was often quite embarrassing.

When Lin Xiu returned to the room, Qin Wan had finished her bath. She was wrapped in a white silk bath towel, her hair was wet, and her pretty face was slightly flushed because she had just come out of the hot water.

In the cold spring, I was granted a bath in Huaqing Pool, and the hot spring water washed my skin.

A poem suddenly popped up in Lin Xiu’s mind. It was not an exaggeration to describe Qin Wan with the words “a glance back and a smile makes her charming, and the six palaces are pale in comparison”. If he were the emperor, he would probably not attend the morning court.

Qin Wan was wiping her hair, she looked back at Lin Xiu and said, “You should take a shower too.”

Both of them had been running around all day, exhausted. The weather in Ningshan Prefecture was even hotter than in the capital. Only when she was next to Lin Xiu could she sleep comfortably. If Lin Xiu didn’t take a shower, wouldn’t she have washed in vain?

He washed clean, and she felt comfortable when she hugged him.

Lin Xiu actually planned to soak in the hot spring for a while. He took off his clothes. Qin Wan pretended to glance at him casually, and it was difficult to look away.

Last night, she actually touched his body secretly, and finally experienced Xue Ning’er’s happiness.

Who doesn’t want to have such a perfect body for themselves?

But she is not Xue Ning’er.

She knows very well that for men, the harder it is to get something, the more they will cherish it.

Even if she is determined to get him, she will not let him get it so easily.

What’s more, she also thinks the bet between the two is very interesting.

Lin Xiu took a quick shower. When he came out of the pool, he had already dried his body. He put on his underwear and walked to the bed. Qin Wan had already gotten on the bed. She patted the seat beside her and said, “Come up quickly.”

After Lin Xiu got on the bed, she couldn’t wait to hold Lin Xiu’s hand, feeling the coolness he brought. A look of comfort appeared on her face. She said, “I used to think that your marriage to Zhao Lingjun was your tragedy. Now it seems that we were wrong. She is the only one who is most suitable for you. If you had married Zhao Lingyin, we would not be like this now. Both Xue Ning’er and your second wife should thank her…”

It is undeniable that Qin Wan has always been sober.

The two leaned against the head of the bed, some distance apart. Qin Wan held Lin Xiu’s hand, enjoying the coolness he brought. Suddenly, she looked at Lin Xiu and said, “Ask you a question.”

Lin Xiu said, “Ask.”

Qin Wan looked into his eyes and asked, “Who do you think is the most beautiful among all the women around you?”

Lin Xiu did not hesitate and said, “Spring orchids and autumn chrysanthemums each have their own merits.”

Qin Wan changed the question and said, “If Miss Caiyi was not your wife, if you had not met Zhao Lingyin first, if Xue Ning’er had not risked her life for you, who do you think is the most beautiful?”

Qin Wan is really a woman who understands him very well.

Caiyi is his wife, Ning’er risked her life for him, and Lingyin was the white moonlight he met when he first came to this world, when he was most helpless and confused.

In Lin Xiu’s heart, they all have an irreplaceable position, and naturally they are also the most beautiful.

But leaving aside all emotional factors, from an aesthetic point of view alone, the answer is obvious.

Qin Wan.

Qin Wan looked at Lin Xiu and said, “I want to hear what you really think.”

Lin Xiu said without thinking, “You.”

Qin Wan asked, “Really?”

Lin Xiu said straightforwardly, “If you were me, who would you choose?”

Qin Wan thought for a moment and said, “If I were you, I would choose me too.”

She looked at Lin Xiu and smiled, as if the spring breeze was blowing, everything was revived, and the flowers were blooming. She leaned close to Lin Xiu’s ear and whispered, “I like your answer very much. This is a reward for you. It’s free…”

Then, Lin Xiu felt a soft touch on his face.

This feeling was fleeting. Although it was just a light kiss, it was a breakthrough that had never happened before. Lin Xiu leaned forward and asked, “Can I reward you?”

Qin Wan gently pushed him away and smiled, “No…”

…

Although Qin Wan pushed Lin Xiu away last night.

But when she woke up the next morning, she hugged him tighter than anyone else.

After getting up and washing up, the two left the inn and walked towards the Ningshan government office.

I found that my readers are quite divided. When I write about the daily interactions with the heroine, some readers will criticize the ambiguous plots. When I write about non-daily life, there will be another group of readers who like to see daily interactions. This book is definitely still interspersed. Sometimes there may be more daily interactions, and sometimes there may be more other plots. It depends on the writing state.
