Chapter 1260 - 967: Madam, Don’t Hide_3
"Xiao Er, I’ve traveled a long way to get here. In this remote area, there’s no other inn besides yours. Please, help me figure something out!"
"Uh, this..."
"Xiao Er, look, I traveled in the dark, and my feet are worn out. Please, give me a hand!"
"Sigh, traveling is tough, isn’t it? How about this, a few officers arrived when it got dark. I’ll talk to them and see if they can share a room and free one up for you."
"Thank you so much, Xiao Er!"
Xiao Er went and knocked directly on one of the doors. Someone inside asked, "Who is it?"
"Sir, it’s Xiao Er. We have a lady customer whose feet are worn out from traveling. Unfortunately, we have no vacant rooms. I was wondering if you could help and free up a room for her."
Just as Xiao Er finished speaking, the door to the next room and the door of this room both creaked open.
"Young Master Liu! You’ve been disturbed as well."
The soldiers saw Ji Youlin open the door, quickly greeted him, and covered their noses.
Young Master Liu seemed in a bad mood, so as soon as he got here, he drank heavily, filling the space with the smell of alcohol.
"Who the hell is making noise outside, disturbing my drinking! Get lost, all of you!"
"Youlin! It’s me, Shu’er!"
Hu Shu’er, waiting in the hall, was overjoyed to hear Ji Youlin’s voice and waved at him excitedly.
Ji Youlin heard her voice and shook his head, "Am I drunk? I’m hearing things!"
The young soldier understood immediately, glanced at Xiao Er, and said, "She is our Young Master Liu’s wife. Just let her stay in his room."
Xiao Er, hearing this, believed it instantly, saying eagerly, "Since the young lady is the wife of this gentleman, come on up! You should manage your husband; ever since he got here, he’s been drinking, causing a ruckus, and upsetting other guests."
"I’m really sorry, I’ll deal with him now!"
Hu Shu’er said as she went upstairs, reached out, and helped Ji Youlin inside. "How much have you drunk? The whole room reeks of alcohol."
Ji Youlin didn’t respond, staring at her without blinking.
"I’m not dreaming, right? Why... hic... am I dreaming!"
Ji Youlin shook his head and pushed her away.
"Get away, I want a real person, not an illusion!"
Then hugged the wine jar and started drinking.
Hu Shu’er felt wronged.
"Ji Youlin, you’re such a bastard, boohoo... I walked all this way to find you, my feet are worn out, and you push me!"
Hu Shu’er began to cry loudly.
Hearing her sobs, Ji Youlin realized something was off, shook his head, blinked his eyes, and tried to calm himself.
"I’m not dreaming; it’s really you!"
Hu Shu’er cried, knowing that Ji Youlin couldn’t stand her crying. Whenever she cried, he would panic and coax her.
So, she took out the ginger water cloth she used during the day to make her brother feel sorry for her.
With a wipe, the tears flowed like a waterfall.
Ji Youlin hurriedly comforted her.
"Hush, don’t cry; it’s my fault, I’m a bastard, I wronged you. Please, stop crying!"
Ji Youlin, flustered, quickly grabbed Hu Shu’er’s handkerchief to wipe her tears.
Hu Shu’er: "..." She swiftly snatched the handkerchief back.
Quickly stuffed it into her sleeve.
Ji Youlin, seeing this, became even more flustered, seeing Hu Shu’er’s increasingly sad and tear-streaked face. Somehow, he suddenly figured it out.
He leaned in for a kiss, coaxing after each one, "Hush, don’t cry." Then kissed again, "Your crying pains me!" And another kiss, "It’s my fault!" Another kiss, and just as he was about to speak, Hu Shu’er pressed her mouth against his.
They kissed each other heavily with deep breaths, embraced each other, and in that small guest room, filled with the scent of alcohol, consummated their marriage...
The next day.
When Hu Shu’er woke up, she was sore all over. Ji Youlin lay next to her, propping his head with his elbow, grinning foolishly at her.
"Hehe! I’m not dreaming!"
Hu Shu’er covered her face and quickly pulled the blanket over it.
"My lady, don’t hide."
"Who’s your lady?"
"You! You’re my lady!"
"I am not!"
"Ah! But we’ve already... like that!"
Hu Shu’er silently called him a fool in her heart.
