Some things are not forgotten, but rather, are temporarily not to be brought up.
That Heaven and Earth Lock still lay on the table, quiet and still.
Such an important item, fought over by everyone in the world, yet it was not as precious as the warmth in each other's eyes.
Tonight, there was wind, there was moon, there was you, there was me.
The long night had only just begun...
...
Chu Qianli only got out of bed as dawn approached.
Before the man could reach out to pull her close for the fourth time, she quickly grabbed her clothes, forcefully pushed his arm away, and fumbled into her attire before getting off the bed.
So tired.
The moment her feet touched the ground, every ache and pain surged, nearly causing her to stumble and fall.
Fortunately, her right hand instinctively grabbed the bedpost, preventing a more embarrassing fall.
Behind her, the man's deep laughter echoed.
"Do you need me to help? My Li'er looks quite weak."
Hearing this, Chu Qianli couldn't help but turn back and glare at him fiercely.
Scum!
Decent out of bed, but a veritable wolf on it.
She felt as if she'd been gnawed to the bone all night.
At this moment, she was utterly exhausted, yet he still looked so energetic?
It was so unfair!
"I can see you're really tired, why don't you come up and rest again?" Feng Yexuan lifted the gauze curtain and reached out to take her hand.
Chu Qianli, startled, quickly released her grip on the bedpost and, enduring the soreness, retreated a couple of steps.
"No need for your fake concern!" she snorted coldly.
This scoundrel was too much.
"I genuinely want you to rest, not coax you up for more..."
"Shut up!" Chu Qianli's face flushed as red as a ripe tomato.
She didn't know what had happened last night, but on an impulse, she'd ended up in bed with him.
She had clearly intended to copy the treasure map, but all night she had only done... done things that made one blush.
Such a failure!
Thinking of last night's events, Chu Qianli's small face flushed again.
"I have things to do..."
"Aren't I getting up to help you with your tasks?"
Feng Yexuan finished speaking and actually threw off the covers, getting out of bed.
Chu Qianli couldn't help but stare, her eyes widening!
This bastard, this absolute bastard!
Couldn't he put on his clothes first? How could he get out of bed completely naked?
He was practically an exhibitionist!
Chu Qianli wanted to turn her back to him, but her gaze accidentally fell on his chest, and in an instant, she couldn't look away.
Prince Xuan's chest... firm, broad, with muscle lines as clear as if carved by a knife, radiating strength at a glance.
His strength last night was indeed astonishing...
Feng Yexuan, however, stared at her obviously captivated eyes and smiled, "Does it look good?"
"Wh... what?" Chu Qianli hadn't quite registered what was happening, only knowing that following his chest downwards, she could actually see... actually see even more...
Oh my god! Although she was a doctor, after living so many years, she had never shamelessly stared at a man like this!
It was simply unbelievable! The sight was so miraculous!
But what was she doing? Staring at Prince Xuan's body, her eyes glued to him?
...
Not long after, a woman's scream suddenly echoed through the room.
No, it sounded more like a shriek!
The guards outside were alerted and wanted to enter to check, but they were forced back by the King's chilling voice:
"The Princess was merely caught peeking at this King and got startled, why are you panicking?"
