Chapter 2806 The Substitute Was Forcibly Taken by the Bandit's Wife 11

A ripple began to rise in Gu Fanghe's eyes, which met Jin Chen's gaze. Suddenly, he laughed, his eyebrows and eyes relaxed, revealing a hint of the unbridled freedom that had not yet been erased from his past.

He reached out and pushed aside the chessboard, scattering the white jade chess pieces all over the table with a clatter. He leaned over, his eyes still brimming with amusement and interest.

The intention is obvious.

Gu Fanghe lowered his head, intending to kiss him.

Jin Chen raised her hand and pressed it against his lips.

Gu Fanghe paused, looking up at him.

Jin Chen smiled and gently pressed her fingertip against his lips. "Gu Fanghe, you don't know how to kiss. It hurts."

Gu Fanghe was never a law-abiding and kind person. He fought on the battlefield for seven years and lived as an outlaw for seven years. He was cunning, stubborn, and unreasonable to the core.

What you want, you must get; what you fancy, you must hold onto.

How could they possibly let this opportunity pass them by?

The young master before me had shimmering eyes, and while he spoke words of reproach, his fingertips held a teasing undertone.

Gu Fanghe kissed the fingertip of Jin Chen's finger that was pressed against his lips, coaxing, "Young master, teach me how to do it?"

Jin Chen smiled, removed his hand, and kissed Gu Fanghe's cheek.

His tongue gently parted her lips and teeth, his kiss slow and gentle, delicate and tender, so tender that it made Gu Fanghe lose his senses.

Gu Fanghe relaxed his body and leaned back against the edge of the stone table, letting him do as he pleased. His hand unconsciously went to Jin Chen's back and gently stroked it.

So this is what a kiss is all about.

Gu Fanghe's predatory nature was ingrained, and his learning ability was truly astonishing. In just a moment, he grasped the rhythm and instinctively absorbed everything Jin Chen gave him. Like a traveler who had just tasted the sweet rain, once he knew the flavor, he became addicted to it and did not want to leave it for a moment.

The sun is warm, the spring breeze is gentle, and the bamboo leaves rustle.

The kiss was long, so long that Gu Fanghe almost forgot the time.

As time passed, the sunlight slanted and the shadows of the trees lengthened; as time passed, the spring breeze grew cool and the evening wind began to rise.

Jin Chen only pulled away slightly when his breathing became a little erratic, his lips still pressed against Jin Chen's, their breaths mingling.

Gu Fanghe opened his eyes, a suffocating pain shooting through his chest. He came to his senses and was shocked to realize that he had been kissed so intensely that he almost suffocated.

He was breathing heavily, his lips were red from being kissed, and the anger surging in his heart had truly vanished, leaving only a gentle and peaceful feeling.

Jin Chen licked his slightly numb lower lip, his voice weary, "I won't kiss you anymore."

Gu Fanghe felt weak all over.

He had practiced martial arts for many years, and even if he fought for three days and three nights, he would not feel this way, with a satisfied, lightheaded feeling that permeated his entire body.

As the evening breeze began to rise, Jin Chen's cloak fluttered slightly, and strands of her hair brushed against her cheeks.

Gu Fanghe pulled the cloak up for him, tucking it into his arms and using his own body to shield him from the wind.

"This courtyard is not good; it's too remote and deserted. We'll find you a different place to stay tomorrow."

Jin Chen gave a lazy "hmm," looked up at him, her eyes reflecting the twilight, and touched Gu Fanghe's cheek.

"Then...when does the chief plan to let me go down the mountain?"

Gu Fanghe's smile faded slightly.

His satisfied and gentle expression vanished, his brows furrowed, and he brushed aside Jin Chen's wind-blown hair. The movement was unconsciously gentle, but his tone carried confusion and displeasure:

"Why did you come down the mountain?" He stared into Jin Chen's eyes. "Is it because you're not used to living here, or has someone neglected you?"

"Your food, clothing, daily necessities, and servants will all be provided to your liking. If you are dissatisfied, you may speak up."

Jin Chen: "I've been missing for many days. The Jin family must have sent people to look for me. What do you think, Chief?"

Gu Fanghe initially thought Jin Chen was worried about his parents at home, but looking at his expression at this moment, he seemed somewhat lost and even lonely.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, his thumb tracing the furrowed brow of Jin Chen. "Do you want them to come looking for you, or not?"

Jin Chen looked at him for a moment, then shook her head. "Fine, if you won't let me go, then don't."

It was clear that he had something on his mind, but he was unwilling to talk about it.

Gu Fanghe felt something was wrong and wanted to ask more questions, but seeing Jin Chen's lowered eyelashes, which clearly indicated that she did not want to talk about it, he swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

He was most impatient with guessing people's hearts, but when facing the person in front of him, he seemed unable to use any of his forceful interrogation methods.

As dusk fell, the branches and leaves of the locust tree swayed gently in the wind.

Jin Chen picked up a locust leaf that had fallen from the stone table, took Gu Fanghe's hand, placed the leaf in his palm, and then stroked Gu Fanghe's cheek, brushing against the dark red old scar.

The original intention was to have Gu Fanghe investigate the Jin family, perhaps to find out if they were colluding with Ruan Shutong's two guards, so the matter was dropped.

His lips curved into a smile again, blooming in the twilight. "I want to eat wontons, a specialty of Nanzhou, tomorrow. The broth has to be delicious. Remember to bring them to me."

Gu Fanghe replied, "...Okay."

He gripped the leaf in his palm tightly, along with Jin Chen's fingers.

"But leaving is out of the question."

Jin Chen let him hold her hand, her smile undiminished, and said, "I understand."
