Traveling through ancient times: daily life on the run

Chapter 291 The beginning of love

Luo Yu put his right hand against his chest and pushed him away with force, his little face flushed red.

The blushing is caused by lack of oxygen.

She looked at him with disbelief. Did he really think he was a domineering prince?

They looked at each other, but no one spoke.

Luo Yu thought to himself, Sir, can you please explain to me what you mean?

When Zhu Jinyou saw her face turning red and white, he suddenly thought how could she be so cute.

A hint of a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and there was a tenderness in his eyes that was close yet distant.

Luo Yu couldn't stand his affectionate gaze and turned his gaze to the other side very stiffly.

It was really embarrassing, very embarrassing. At least in the previous times, she was the only one who knew about it, so she could at least pretend that it didn't matter. Now, what did she want to ask?

Are you asking, do you really love me when you kiss me? Will you marry me?

Ugh, it's so boring!

Although he has good kissing skills, I can't ask him, "Do you want to be my lover in the future?" Although I won't give you any status, if one day it's not suitable, we can part ways peacefully and no one will owe anyone anything.

Silence, continue to be silent...

Zhu Jinyou thought she was shy, so he just stayed with her quietly without saying a word, waiting for the atmosphere to ease a little before speaking.

To be honest, he was also frightened by his own behavior just now. Although beautiful women would throw themselves at him, he had never lost control of himself like that just now. Moreover, she didn't throw herself at him on her own initiative...

He knew that he definitely had feelings for her. If not, why would he pay so much attention to her and care about her? He even dreamed about her and had unspeakable things happen to her...

When she was hurt, his heart would become nervous. When she dreamed of him calling his name, he would be overjoyed, thinking that his love was reciprocated.

After a while.

"I, just offended you!"

When Luo Yu heard these words, the stone in his heart fell to the ground.

Don't confess your feelings, don't make promises, don't say you're the only one I'll marry...

"If we can leave here safely, I will accompany you in whatever you want to do in the future."

When Luo Yu heard this, his calm eyes turned to him.

It's not right to say such nice and sweet words without being clichéd!

Isn't it full of contempt, ridicule, and frivolity?

After a moment, she responded: "Oh!"

Zhu Jinyou knew that she would not react for a while, so he smiled gently and said, "Sleep a little longer. When you recover a little, we can find a way out."

"Ok!"

If Luo Yu hadn't been completely exhausted, he probably wouldn't have been able to sleep at all.

She slept until three quarters past three in the afternoon.

He didn't move at all, and kept his body straight, letting her lean on his shoulder. His other hand would occasionally support her shaking head, and then gently put it back in place...

For the first time, he was excited by this subtle feeling.

At this moment, Luo Yu felt that every inch of his body was repairing itself, faster and more passionately than before...

She woke up again, this time not dreaming, but hearing the sound of people walking not far away, at least several feet away.

Luo Yu couldn't help but feel nervous, wondering if this cave would be discovered.

She is now afraid of pain, and even more afraid of death.

Zhu Jinyou seemed to sense her nervousness. He clasped his left hand tightly with her right hand, quickly rolled up the thing, and led her into the narrow cave blocked by plants.

The cave is not too big, but it is very hidden. If you look into it from the entrance, you can't imagine that there is a world inside. At most, you would think it is a cave that you can see to the bottom at a glance.

The two of them squeezed together and were able to pass by each other face to face. At this time, the people outside had already discovered the cave.

"Reporting to Chief Envoy Yao, there is a cave here."

"See if there's the white lady and her personal guard."

"Yes!"

Eunuch Yao's voice was not as sharp and delicate as imagined, but it sounded quite recognizable.

"Master Yao, there's no one in the cave. They may have left."

"This forest is too big, so you guys split up and search separately. Remember, except for Miss Bai, everyone else should be killed."

"Chairman Yao, if we meet His Royal Highness Prince Ning, we will..."

Luo Yu frowned slightly. This sounded strange...

Your Highness is the Emperor’s younger brother. What else do you want?

Eunuch Yao's voice suddenly turned cold. "Didn't you understand what I just said? In this deep forest, who knows how he disappeared?"

"Yes!"

As his men went their separate ways, Eunuch Yao smiled with satisfaction.

He seemed to explain to the eunuch serving beside him: "The emperor also said that we should not resort to such a desperate measure unless it is absolutely necessary. The emperor's intentions must be carefully grasped by us."

"Yes! I think that Envoy Yao's idea is a great one, as he's showing his filial piety to the Emperor. After all, there are a bunch of chaotic rebels in these deep mountains and old forests, and who knows how that young prince escaped. If we can successfully bring Miss Bai back, we'll be killing two birds with one stone. The Emperor will surely understand Envoy Yao's good intentions."

Being able to describe something despicable and shameless in such a refreshing and refined way, Luo Yu knew that his little tricks were still too childish.

"What a cute little slave!"

Eunuch Yao sneered at last and led the young eunuch to the other side.

Luo Yu then dared to raise his head slightly and look at Zhu Jinyou's calm face. He had just rested his chin gently on her forehead, and his fingers intertwined with hers were clenched tighter and tighter. He shouldn't be very comfortable, right?

Luo Yu didn't look at him again, but kept his head down and said nothing. What words of comfort could be useful at this time?

The two of them continued to remain motionless, and it was so quiet that the only sound they could hear was the thumping of each other's heartbeats.

She was jumping quite happily, and Luo Yu couldn't help but divert his attention again.

It wasn't until Luo Yu's eyes were turned around and he saw a yellow snake that was more than three feet long slowly crawling towards them along the branches on the rock wall of the cave that Luo Yu's heartbeat accelerated.

This is a king cobra, commonly known as the rat snake. It is non-venomous, but has a peculiar smell.

Eunuch Yao didn't walk far, and Luo Yu didn't dare to make any big movements. He just signaled Zhu Jinyou with his eyes.

Zhu Jinyou saw out of the corner of his eye that a king cobra was swimming towards them. The snake's tongue kept spitting out its tongue, and no matter how smelly it was, he had no space to raise his sword and attack.

It is impossible to get out, I can only squeeze in.

There was an inch of gap between the two of them just now, but when they squeezed in, they were pressed chest to chest and face to face. Fortunately, Zhu Jinyou was tall, and Luo Yu lowered his head so he couldn't see his expression.

However, Luo Yu felt that he was at a disadvantage. She was soft and boneless, and she felt even more uncomfortable when being squeezed. But he was fine, as he wouldn't feel uncomfortable anyway.

Zhu Jinyou held the sword in one hand and clasped her hand with the other, with the backpack across his wrist.

Luo Yu felt like he was about to suffocate to death, and whispered in his ear: "Let me squeeze through first, if we try to squeeze in together like this, we'll get stuck."

Eunuch Yao's words just now didn't seem to affect him. He chuckled mischievously, his voice low and magnetic.

"Luo Yu, don't you want to hug me?"

After saying this, he gently rested his chin on her forehead, as if wanting to hold her tightly in his arms.

"Uh!"

Luo Yu's mind flashed quickly. He actually called her name without adding the suffix "girl". Was this really too ambiguous?

Could it be that he couldn't control his emotions because he spent a night alone with a girl, coupled with hormones? Zhu Jinyou doesn't seem like someone who has such a lack of self-control!

"My name is Zhu Jinyou, and my courtesy name is Zhihe. From now on, you can call me Zhihe."

"Oh, does it mean the harmony of heaven and earth?"

It seems that the late emperor had high expectations of him! No wonder the current emperor is suspicious and uneasy, so he wants to secretly deal with this brother?

Why? Wasn't he sitting comfortably on the throne? Could it be that he wasn't feeling well and was afraid his younger brother would take the throne?

"It is derived from the use of etiquette and the value of harmony."

When Zhu Jinyou saw her silence, he knew that her mind must be full of random thoughts.

"You have a lot to ask, right? After we get out, I'll tell you everything I need to."

Luo Yu looked up with a bewildered expression and asked, "What?"

She didn't want to know too much, as it would only do harm and no good.

"Didn't you just think about a lot? Is there anything you can't tell me?"

"I haven't given it much thought. Otherwise, let me squeeze through first. If that eunuch Yao goes back home, we'll just have to wait to be killed."

Zhu Jinyou smirked: "What if we squeeze through and find we can't get out at all?"

"Then go out the same way you came. That rat snake should be non-venomous, except for the stench. You can deal with it with your bare hands."

"But I don't want to go out. I just want to stay with you like this."

Luo Yu's pupils trembled. "Just wait and die. Sister, I don't want to die thousands of times over..."

When did he change from an evil, treacherous, self-righteous and scheming man to a mean and bad little puppy?

Men are so fickle, she has to stay awake...
