The Killer's Cleansing Manual

Chapter 137 Lin Shanjuan, Why Do I Always Miss You

After a night's rest, the autumn hunt officially began with the sound of a gong on the morning of the second day.

General Ye Lang, the Zhennan General, was wearing a bright red inner garment, fine steel armor, and holding a longbow as he jumped into the forest first.

As expected, he heard the whispers of admiration from many officials' wives. The corners of his lips curled up proudly as he looked at the most noble woman in the world.

But Qi Zhaomian didn't care what he did. At this moment, he was helping Lin Shanjuan fasten the buckle on his armor.

In autumn, all colors become more saturated, but even such vibrant scenery cannot match Qi Zhaomian's brilliance. She wears a cherry-pink court dress, which reveals a gentleness in her character that is only revealed to one person, allowing others to glimpse it.

A gentle breeze blew, and a yellow leaf fell on Qi Zhaomian's shoulder. The next second, it was picked up by Lin Shanjuan, who was smiling, and he also helped her tuck her hair behind her ear.

One of them is looking affectionate, the other is smiling with her brows lowered. No matter how you look at them from a distance or near, they can be described as a "match made in heaven".

"Be careful on your way there, don't be too greedy, just bring back a rabbit."

Lin Shanjuan agreed obediently: "Just the rabbit? You don't want anything else?"

Qi Zhaomian smiled and scolded her: "What else could it be? The forest is full of birds and beasts. Just don't hurt yourself."

Although they agreed to pretend to be intimate outside, when Lin Shanjuan heard these caring words, she knew that Qi Zhaomian really cared about her.

"Okay." She agreed readily, "I'll bring you a little rabbit!"

Her eyes were curved, and Qi Zhaomian saw it, and his heart became more and more comfortable. He wanted to pinch Lin Shanjuan's face, but he was embarrassed.

A rabbit...one, will the rabbit be lonely?

Unexpectedly, she had just come up with this idea. Lin Shanjuan also murmured thoughtfully: "Don't say it, one will definitely be lonely, I will get you two."

Qi Zhaomian's eyes were gentle and full of indulgence when he looked at her, as if his eyelashes were telling Lin Shanjuan - "It's up to you to decide."

Being looked at by her like this, Lin Shan's tired face felt hot and his lips felt dry.

She looked around - a clear sign before doing something she felt guilty about.

Qi Zhaomian saw her leaning over, and although he was puzzled, he did not shy away: "Why... huh?"

A light kiss, but with a kiss that belonged only to Lin Shanjuan, fell on Qi Zhaomian's ear under the cover of his white palm.

she!

Qi Zhaomian suddenly understood - she had actually, in broad daylight, in front of everyone, pretending to be whispering, kissed...

"you……"

Lin Shanjuan had already retreated to a polite distance, but the teasing in his eyes was not polite at all.

"I thought, and I did it. Are you angry?"

Qi Zhaomian was not angry. What she was thinking was: when he was too embarrassed to pinch her face, she was actually so bold and intimate.

Could it be that people of her "era" were so bold in expressing their love?

Then she——

Qi Zhaomian suddenly realized a key problem that he had only just realized after such a long time.

Was Lin Shanjuan married before? Or, was she in love with someone?

or……

Has she ever been this close to anyone else?

Thinking of this, her hands unconsciously clenched the handkerchief.

Lin Shanjuan raised his voice: "Are you angry?"

Qi Zhaomian was stunned and shook his head with mixed emotions: "No."

No?

Just one word?

Lin Shanjuan observed her expression: "Really?"

Qi Zhaomian opened his mouth, and Ye Xi happened to ride over to greet him.

"I have met His Highness."

She suddenly realized that there were too many people here and it was not the right time to talk about the past, so she simply kept silent.

"Get up."

Ye Xi stood up. She was wearing a white inner lining today, and her silver armor shone with a cold light. In addition, her sword-like eyebrows were even more heroic than Ye Lang's, which made her look more like a female general.

It’s a pity that she is just a princess.

To be fair, she and Ye Xi got along well when they were young, but later General Ye took all his family away from the capital, and the two of them had no contact anymore.

Naturally, she couldn't blame Ye Xi for what Ye Lang did.

"Your Highness, I'm here to ask your husband to go hunting for some game. I wonder if you can grant my permission."

Just in time, get this guy out of here quickly.

Qi Zhaomian breathed a sigh of relief and even forgot to maintain his appearance. He maintained a straight sitting posture and pushed Lin Shanjuan forward with one hand.

"Go."

Lin Shanjuan was stunned for a moment, then smiled helplessly: "Then...whatever you haven't finished, come back and tell me tonight?"

Ye Xi looked at his nose and pretended not to hear. Qi Zhaomian's face was slightly hot, and in order to get rid of him, he quickly agreed.

"Well, let's go."

Lin Shanjuan pouted at her quickly, then he and Ye Xi, who had stood up to thank him, mounted their horses and galloped into the forest.

Qi Zhaomian covered his face with his hands to relieve the heat on his face.

After finally retreating, Qi Yili stretched his head forward with his teeth bared: "Royal sister, what are you and Sister Lin going to talk about tonight?"

Qi Zhaomian:

Since I couldn't answer, I remained silent.

Seeing he couldn't get any answers, Qi Yili changed the question: "So what did Sister Lin and Sister Huang secretly say just now?" He pointed at himself with a finger, "I want to hear it too."

Qi Zhaomian: ...

Unable to answer, he continued to remain silent.

"Imperial sister? Did you hear what I said? I asked you..."

Qi Zhaomian took a deep breath and said, "If you ask again, you are not allowed to go hunting. Recite it here for me."

You stupid kid, you keep asking questions that I can't answer. How can I answer them?!

Qi Yili shrank his neck and fell silent.

The brother and sister watched together as the two men, one in black and one in white, gallantly rode their horses and rushed into the forest.

Qi Zhaomian's heart beat faster and faster, but he felt jealous when he saw the black and white picture of Ye Xi and Lin Shanjuan.

They were a good match, but I couldn't ride a horse, and it was impossible for me to hunt on horseback.

When I think about it carefully, I seem to have a dark and cunning heart, but... this doesn't seem to be an advantage.

Lin Shanjuan said that she loved more than just her appearance, so what did she love? What else did she have in herself that was worthy of her attention?

or.

As time goes by and circumstances change, will she become bored with herself?

Yue Liu stood beside her and saw her frowning. He whispered, "Your Highness, why are you worried? Can I help you solve your problem?"

Qi Zhaomian subconsciously raised his head: "I was just thinking..."

She looked at Kamitsuki with a clear and innocent gaze, and the words were on the tip of her tongue, but she couldn't continue without even opening her head.

"Never mind." She raised her hand. "You don't understand this yet."

Tsukidome: ...

Qi Yili was very excited: "Royal sister, even if Yuege doesn't understand, I do!"

Qi Zhaomian took a deep breath and suddenly began to miss Lin Shanjuan.

I had just chased that person away, but now I feel... it would be nice if she was by my side. At least, she understands me very well. She knows what I'm thinking without me having to say much, and she can give me just the right amount of comfort.

It's really strange. They obviously haven't been in love for long, so why can she predict her every move so accurately?

Lin Shan Tired...

Lin Shan Tired...

Why do I always miss you?
