Shocking! The actress was dragged to the regent's bedchamber every night.

Su Wuli's words became increasingly incoherent, as if her tongue was tied in knots.

He decided to stop talking and pulled the blanket up to cover his face.

Her breathing under the blanket was rapid and shallow, seeping out from the gaps in the blanket and landing on her face.

Her heart was beating so fast that she felt the whole tent could hear it.

The blanket rose and fell gently with Su Wuli's breathing, and her chest rose and fell in sync.

The oversized men's clothing collar was askew, revealing the collarbone.

The fabric of her undergarment clung to her body, and with each breath, the undulating curve of her skin trembled.

Yu Chen looked down at the undulating arc, which couldn't be concealed at all.

His Adam's apple bobbed.

She was the biggest test for him on this march.

Yu Chen reached out and lifted the blanket off her face.

Su Wuli's face turned bright red, and she breathed heavily with her lips slightly parted.

"You're going to suffocate yourself." His voice was hoarse, and he rubbed his thumb against her face.

Su Wuli's eyes were still wet with tears, and her lips moved slightly.

Her voice was soft and tinged with a hint of grievance, "There was nothing I could do..."

The tone was drawn out very long.

Yu Chen's Adam's apple bobbed again.

The footsteps outside the tent faded into the distance, and someone shouted something in the distance.

I can't hear clearly.

Yu Chen extinguished the oil lamp.

The tent darkened, with only the light from the campfire outside filtering in, casting a dark red shadow on the canvas, flickering between light and shadow.

Yu Chen lay down and pulled her into his arms, her back pressed against his chest, and pulled up two blankets to cover their shoulders.

His large hand slid down her waist and pressed on her thigh, his thumb slowly pushing along the muscles on the side of her leg.

The force was neither too light nor too heavy.

Su Wuli didn't know where to put her hands, so she grabbed the collar of his undershirt, turned her head and buried her face in the side of his neck.

The skin on the side of his neck carried his usual cold and aloof aura.

The man's prominent Adam's apple was right next to her lips.

Su Wuli's breath sprayed onto that skin, and he rolled over again.

She felt that arc slide across her lips.

Su Wuli bit her lip, suppressing the soft groan that welled up in her throat.

It wasn't contained, and a little bit leaked out of the nasal cavity.

Like a sigh.

The massaging hands paused for a moment, then continued massaging.

Su Wuli felt his chest vibrate slightly.

He is laughing.

Not wanting him to laugh anymore, I buried my face even deeper into the crook of his neck.

Her nose brushed against his skin, and her lips pressed against his Adam's apple.

The man tightened his grip on her waist, pressing down rather hard.

Su Wuli let out a muffled groan.

The campfire outside the tent crackled, its light flashing briefly on the canvas before dimming again.

Su Wuli lifted her head from the crook of her neck to look at his face; in the dim light, she could only see the outline of his jaw.

"Don't move around," Yu Chen said in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, she was taken aback, then buried her face in his neck and closed her eyes.

Yu Chen moved his hand away from her thigh and placed it on her waist, his thumb pressing and slowly massaging her lower back.

He pressed for a while longer, then moved from his waist to his back, and then to his shoulder blades.

Su Wuli's back suddenly stiffened.

It wasn't because she was cold, but because she could feel it.

The temperature was clearly off even through the thin inner garment.

She not only dared not move, but even her breathing became shallow.

His large hand was still rubbing her back gently, as if nothing had happened.

She wanted to pretend to be asleep, but Yu Chen spoke first.

"Keep your voice down later." His voice was low and husky. "Don't be as loud as usual."

As soon as she finished speaking, her ears started burning.

She looked up and glared at him.

The man's face was obscured by the dim light, making his expression unclear.

Su Wuli opened her mouth, and suddenly footsteps came from outside the tent.

It was another patrolling soldier.

Several figures flashed across the canvas, the torchlight casting long shadows that slid across the top of the tent.

Su Wuli held her breath instantly, her hands nervously gripping the collar of his undershirt.

Once the footsteps had faded into the distance, she let out a heavy sigh.

However, before he could finish exhaling, he remembered what he had just said.

My ears are burning again.

Her voice was anxious, "I didn't, you're talking nonsense... I didn't raise my voice."

Su Wuli easily broke free from his embrace.

She was stunned for a moment, not expecting it to be so easy.

I squeezed to the corner of the tent, my back pressed against the canvas, which felt a bit cool.

Yu Chen didn't move, lying down and watching her.

Su Wuli huddled in the corner, having pulled away most of the blanket, leaving only a corner to cover his legs.

The two people were an arm's length apart.

Su Wuli glanced at it and suddenly realized that this was probably the farthest they had ever slept since they met.

Yu Chen raised an eyebrow slightly and put his hands behind his head.

The voice came through, devoid of emotion, "Okay, let's sleep like this tonight."

Su Wuli looked at him lying there with his hands behind his head, wanting to say something but then realizing she was the one who had moved him away.

She then pulled her half-blanket up to cover her chin, turned over, faced away from him, and closed her eyes.

The temperature dropped sharply in the second half of the night.

Su Wuli had a feeling that someone had stuffed ice cubes into her bed.

She curled up into a ball.

I don't know if I'm dreaming or awake; all I know is that I feel cold from my toes to the top of my head.

Unable to resist, I moved to the side; there was a heat source there.

When my hand touched something warm, I pressed it against my face.

Then stick your whole body on it, including your frozen feet.

Yu Chen is a light sleeper; he woke up when she snuggled up to him.

Su Wuli's fingers, cool as they slipped into his waistband, then reached under the hem of his undershirt and pressed against his skin.

Yu Chen reached out and pulled her into his arms, tucking the blanket tightly around her.

He completely enveloped her.

Yu Chen's body heat emanated from his skin, and Su Wuli quickly warmed up.

Her brows slowly relaxed, and she rubbed her face against his chest twice with satisfaction.

Yu Chen looked down at the top of her head and pulled the blanket up a little higher.

Hold me tight.

…………

the next day.

When Su Wuli opened her eyes, it was just dawn.

Her face was pressed against Yu Chen's chest, her hands were on his waist, and her legs were draped over his legs.

She clung to him like an octopus.

She was stunned for a moment, not knowing how she rolled back or when she rolled back.

Su Wuli held her breath, slowly moved her legs off his, and slowly withdrew her hands from his waist.

However, he moved halfway through drawing the lottery ticket.

The man's arms tightened around her waist, and she pressed herself back against his chest.

Her face bumped against his collarbone, and the tip of her nose brushed against his skin.

Su Wuli looked up at him, only to find that his eyes were still closed.

He waited a while, but still didn't open his eyes.

I reached out and poked his chin; his prominent Adam's apple bobbed slightly.

The next second, the man opened his eyes.

"Awake?" The voice was hoarse from the early morning.

"Um."

"Who said we wouldn't sleep together last night?" His lips brushed against the top of her head.

Su Wuli buried her face in his chest and refused to look up.

The man's chest trembled slightly.

He was laughing again.

"Cold." Her voice muffled against his chest.
