CHAPTER 201: CHAPTER 201: STEALING A KISS FROM PEI SHU’ER

When Tang Zan came out, there wasn’t the slightest trace of blood on his body or hands.

He was still that handsome man.

He couldn’t help but glance in the direction of the Experimental Building, and found that there was no movement inside.

Tang Zan went to the kitchen and saw that there was still some lean meat porridge left in the pot. It must have been left by Granny Zhang and Honghua who knew Pei Shu’er would be staying up late tonight.

Tang Zan heated it up and then brought it to Pei Shu’er.

He knocked on the door, but there was no response from inside. A sudden panic gripped his heart as he quickly opened the door.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw Pei Shu’er slumped over the table, having fallen asleep in a daze.

The kerosene lamp flickered with his entrance, illuminating her otherworldly beautiful face.

It was the first time he had seen Pei Shu’er in such a relaxed state.

She had always been strategizing, as if no matter what happened, she was as immovable as Mount Tai.

She rarely misstepped.

Seeing her fall asleep while drawing like this was a first for him.

It turned out she was just an ordinary flesh and blood person.

Just enduring all along.

He couldn’t help but move quietly and approach Pei Shu’er.

Her face rested on her hand, her face tilted, red lips slightly parted.

Her eyelashes were long, casting shadows like the wings of a cold crow.

She was now in a deep sleep.

There were a few strands of hair by her cheek, and he leaned closer and gently tucked them behind her ear.

The closer he got, the more the pink lips and the fragrance around her enveloped him, making him want to get even closer.

The closer he got, the more he was entranced by her.

Then, he couldn’t help but kiss Pei Shu’er’s lips.

In an instant, his lips tingled and his breath lightened, his heart racing fast.

Soft and sweet were Pei Shu’er’s lips.

He carefully traced her lips, clearly wanting to take more.

But he was afraid of waking her up, after which he wouldn’t be able to kiss her anymore.

After all, she never really liked him.

He wanted to restrain himself.

But he couldn’t help it.

His once obstinate self-control was now in disarray.

To him, Pei Shu’er had a fatal allure.

He slowly left Pei Shu’er’s lips.

Seeing her lips slightly reddened by his touch.

A hint of satisfaction appeared in his eyes.

That was his mark left behind.

Sweet, soft, fragrant, and addictive she was.

Pei Shu’er’s drawing was complete. She was probably too tired, so she lay down intending to rest for a while.

He carefully put away the drawing paper, then carried Pei Shu’er and took her back to her room.

As soon as he brought her in, White Rice came running towards Pei Shu’er, tail lightly wagging, looking very pleased, as if it was about to jump on Pei Shu’er.

Tang Zan placed Pei Shu’er on the bed, and as soon as she sank into the soft bedding, she rubbed her cheek against the blanket, like a satisfied kitten.

Then she drifted back into a drowsy sleep.

Tang Zan sat beside her watching, and then couldn’t help it, he lowered his head and kissed Pei Shu’er again.

He tasted the sweetness and couldn’t stop.

When he finally let go of Pei Shu’er, his breath had become heavy.

The woman on the bed slept soundly, with an expression of serene sweetness.

She was completely unaware of how out of control he was while she slept, tracing her lips with his again and again.

She was even less aware of how he restrained himself, pulling back from the edge of reason collapsing, only to barely stop at sanity-breaking restraint.

But he couldn’t satisfy his craving.

The closer he got, the more he wanted to take.

He took a deep breath and finally managed to suppress his restlessness.

White Rice anxiously paced around the room, occasionally letting out a whimper at him.

As if warning him not to do anything excessive.

With a strong sense of protectiveness.

Tang Zan chuckled, unable to resist lightly kicking White Rice.

White Rice whimpered and dodged aside, lowering itself and baring its teeth in a threat.

Tang Zan laughed in exasperation: "You beast, remember it was me who brought you back."

White Rice whimpered again at Tang Zan, then jumped onto Pei Shu’er’s bed.

It lay down next to Pei Shu’er and fell asleep.

Tang Zan’s face darkened. Was this how White Rice slept with Pei Shu’er every day?

With a dark expression, he grabbed the back of White Rice’s neck and dropped it to the floor.

White Rice whimpered softly, then slumped on the floor to sleep.

Having stolen a kiss from Pei Shu’er, Tang Zan’s heart felt sweet, so he didn’t bother with White Rice anymore.

He glanced at the sleeping Pei Shu’er, then left the room.

No sooner did he leave than White Rice jumped back on Pei Shu’er’s bed.

Its tactics were very effective.

Meanwhile, in the Gulan Military Camp.

Commander Qian had also written a letter to the Third Prince, informing him that Pei Shu’er had handed over the fertilizer formula to General Zhao. He awaited further instructions from the Third Prince.

The next morning when she awoke, Pei Shu’er stretched, then realized she was in bed, feeling a bit confused.

She thought for a moment and assumed it was Lin Yu who brought her back.

After all, when she stayed in the laboratory before, if she fell asleep, Lin Yu would also bring her back.

As soon as she opened the door, she saw Tang Zan already dressed and standing at the door.

He handed her the design plans, which Pei Shu’er opened and found no issues with, so she put them away.

Only then did Tang Zan say, "Let’s go."

Pei Shu’er nodded and followed him to the dining hall.

The two had breakfast, then each rode a horse rushing to the military camp.

When they arrived at the camp, Pei Shu’er saw Yan Huan Yu already waiting at the camp’s entrance.

He smiled at Pei Shu’er, his eyes forming crescents, looking like an adorable and sweet little brother.

"General Zhao and the commanders are already waiting in the military tent."

Pei Shu’er nodded quickly.

"Thank you for waiting for me here."

To express her gratitude to Yan Huan Yu, Pei Shu’er handed him three rice cakes.

"These make a nice breakfast."

With that, she carried the design plans and headed for the tent.

Tang Zan, however, looked at Yan Huan Yu. Both had heard of each other, but had no interactions before.

He hadn’t expected that this youth, praised by everyone, knew Pei Shu’er.

Moreover, he felt a slight hostility emanating from Yan Huan Yu.

Yan Huan Yu also looked at him, their eyes met, and both saw displeasure in the other’s gaze before quickly averting their eyes.

Pei Shu’er entered the tent, greeted by the sight of the camp commanders waiting.

General Zhao and the commanders looked toward her in unison.

Tang Zan was a bit worried that Pei Shu’er couldn’t handle the pressure. These were people who had killed on the battlefield, their baleful aura far beyond that of ordinary soldiers.

He gently pressed Pei Shu’er’s shoulder, giving her silent encouragement.

But Pei Shu’er acclimated well, smiling at everyone as she stepped into the tent.

These were indeed influential people, but they were nothing compared to the ones she had met in her past life.

"My apologies for keeping you waiting."
