Keep your voice down. Are you trying to look glamorous dressed as a forced lover?

Given Lan Jinna's keen hearing and sharp sense of awareness, he should have woken up long ago when a stranger entered the room, but unusually, he didn't wake up at all.

He was still fast asleep and made no sound.

Li Qingyan didn't notice anything unusual either.

For the past three years, Feng Yunxie has had workers clean it constantly, and the layout has never changed, as if Sannoye might return at any moment.

Li Qingyan stood at the door with a lantern, remained silent for a while, and then quietly went in.

She glanced around casually, didn't turn on the light, and after standing quietly for a moment, she lay down on Sannoye's bed.

Three years have passed, and Sannoh's presence has almost completely disappeared.

But she was so tired that she fell asleep quickly.

She didn't notice that someone was sleeping on a rocking chair placed by the window in the side room of the palace, under the south wall of the warm pavilion.

Since most of the Gu worms were still being raised in Fengyun Pavilion and cared for by the mute servant, she never imagined that anyone else would be able to get in.

A night breeze swept in, and it gradually grew cooler.

Lan Jinna was asleep when he was woken up by the cold wind, and he groggily headed towards his dormitory.

After lying down, he felt as if there was something else next to him, but because he hadn't slept well for several days, he was too tired, and listening to the rustling of the Gu worms, he quickly fell asleep again.

The sound of the Gu worm always brought him a sense of security.

One night passed.

When Lan Jinna woke up, she felt completely comfortable.

But as soon as he opened his eyes, he was so frightened he almost lost his soul.

Your Highness... why is Your Highness lying next to him, and so close?

He opened his eyes and almost bumped his nose into hers.

Lan Jin's eyelids trembled slightly. She wanted to back away, but her hair was pressed down.

As he carefully pulled out the hair that Li Qingyan had been pressing down on, his gaze involuntarily fell on the lips that were so close to his.

While Lan Jin was in a daze, Li Qingyan opened her eyes a crack.

Upon seeing those familiar eyes, before she was fully awake, her body automatically wrapped around his neck.

"Sannoh...you've come again."

She looked vaguely at the lips so close to hers. Sannoh's lips were already reddish, but at this moment, they were an even more beautiful red, looking very soft.

She knows how soft it is.

The warm breaths slowly drew closer and merged, and Lan Jin's body seemed to be fixed in place, unable to move.

He only felt the warmth slowly touch his lips, very lightly.

Lan Jinna froze completely, remaining motionless.

The light touch brought waves of tingling and a slight numbness, followed by heat that swept through the entire body.

Especially the lips she touched, as if they were set on fire, not only burning the dough until it was scalding hot, but also making the top of his head feel steaming hot. Finally, it even went down his throat and into his body, burning his entire lungs and making him dizzy.

In an instant, a scene seemed to flash through his mind: lips touching lips, but he was the one who took the initiative, standing there and kissing Li Qingyan as if it were the most natural thing in the world, and in the end they even bit each other.

Lan Jin felt a throbbing pain in her head, so much so that her mind went completely blank.

He wanted to see clearly, but the more he tried to understand, the less he could figure it out. His nose suddenly felt sore, and his eyes stung terribly.

The next moment, Li Qingyan, half asleep and half awake, moved closer to him and pressed her forehead against his.

Lan Jinna gently brushed against the tip of his nose.

He didn't know why he made that move, he just did it naturally, his mind still preoccupied with everything that had just happened.

His mind was in turmoil. The warm touch made him dizzy. He just kept thinking, is this what intimacy is?

But it seems she wasn't kissing him, and the kiss was too short.

He was lost in thought when, without realizing it, his lips met Li Qingyan's again.

Lan Jinna's mind went blank again, while Li Qingyan, in a daze, only offered intermittent kisses, yet Lan Jinna couldn't help but tremble slightly.

He knew he shouldn't, but his body seemed to have lost control. He wrapped his arms around her, unable to resist taking her into his mouth and sucking her tenderly.

My body was trembling uncontrollably.

Her slow, deliberate attempts to comfort him only brought him a more pronounced numbness and trembling.

Lan Jin's breathing gradually became heavier, especially when a soft moan escaped her lips.

That soft sound made him lose control again. He hugged her tightly once more, his body burning hot and his eyes burning intensely.

When Lan Jinna woke up from the coolness on her face, she saw Li Qingyan's trembling eyelashes, as if he was about to fully wake up.

He slid off the bed and fled in a disheveled state.

After she had completely left Fengyun Pavilion, the tears on her face had long since dried, but Lan Jin couldn't lie to herself.

With just that light touch, he lost control, his body and consciousness completely out of control. Tears that he used to only shed for no reason in his dreams appeared uncontrollably this time as well.

He thought he had made the right decision, and the reason for his unusual behavior was indeed because of Li Qingyan.

But he didn't understand why her touch would elicit such a strong reaction.

Moreover, this time, she clearly called out Sannoh's name.

She wasn't kissing him, but rather that Sannoye.

That was the person in her heart.

Little did Lan Jin know that the same thing had happened at the inn last time; she had simply mistaken him for Sannoye.

"If she's an important person, why would you admit to being wrong?"

He muttered something to himself, but felt a pang of sadness, unsure why.

No, not just a little.

He took a deep breath: "Do I resemble Sannoh?"

Lan Jinna decided to look into this matter.

The Shihe Palace also had palace servants. He had seen them once yesterday and remembered their names. Looking at the palace servants who came to serve him, he tentatively asked if there was a portrait of Consort Sang, or if he had seen Sang Nuoye, and wanted him to describe him.

As a result, the palace servants said they had never heard of any portraits of him, and the descriptions were just a bunch of nice words, and they couldn't imagine what he looked like at all.

Lan Jin decided to ask Li Qingyan directly.

So he quickly washed up and went out of the palace, where he happened to see Li Qingyan.

His eyes lit up, and he was about to speak when someone spoke first and appeared in front of her.

"Your Highness."

The voice was gentle, filled with joy, and somewhat familiar.

It was that Wen Cejun, with an attendant behind him carrying a food box, saying he was going to have breakfast with Li Qingyan.

"These are all flavors from the Western Regions. I've been wanting Your Highness to try them for a long time."

Li Qingyan was in a daze.

She dreamed of Sannoh again, and the familiar touch was there, even more real this time.

Although she opened her eyes, there was still no one in front of her, but the blanket beside her was still warm to the touch.

Talented people are leaving.

Even the tip of my nose seemed to carry a unique scent of Sannoh, like the aroma of medicine or grass, very special.

Li Qingyan remembered it very clearly.

But she knew that Lan Jinna's scent was similar to Sannoye's.

She smelled it when he gave her a high five last night.

The warm blankets told her that it wasn't a dream, but reality.

What she thought was Sannoye appearing in her dream was probably just a misunderstanding; she might have mistaken Lan Jinna for Sannoye.

Therefore, the person she kissed early in the morning was also Lan Jinna.
