Wang Qi invited that gentleman to a restaurant.
After arriving at the restaurant, they quickly sat at the table.
They had to divide into two tables due to the large number of people.
At this time, Wang Qi, Wang Shu, and Long were sitting at the same table with that gentleman while the others were sitting together at the other table.
Long and Wang Shu completely became the companies right now.
Only Wang Qi was chatting with that gentleman.
They now had known the gentleman’s name, Suye.
But he was more widely known as the Childe Suye, who was unexpectedly a person in Jianghu.
However, he looked totally not like a person in Jianghu.
People were more willing to believe he was one official who worked for the court at the first meet.
He hadn’t a rebellious temperament one person in Jianghu usually had.
Meanwhile, he didn’t look like a swordsman either… Although, he just helped them to defend the weak against the strong like a swordsman.
Yet, since he told them that he was a person in Jianghu, they would choose to believe him. It mattered nothing.
While Wang Qi and Childe Suye were talking with each other, Long and Wang Shu sat on their seats, trying so hard to act as the nobody.
Now both of them were just companies and no one would doubt their real identity.
Finally, the lunch came to the end.
Childe Suye expressed his intention of hiring them, and Wang Qi replied to him that they would take it within their consideration… Afterward, they parted.
During the meal, they all proposed a toast to the Childe Suye to show their appreciation.
Therefore, they all had drunk a few cups of beer.
Two of them deliberately acted like they couldn’t hold the liquor and soon got drunk, even needed someone’s help when walking.
Singing a song loudly and happily, they all got back ‘drunkenly’.
As soon as they got home, Long immediately woke up from the state of intoxication, no longer walking in a roll.
Ying Feng walked to him and said, “Master, that Childe Suye probably is him.”
Long got stunned first but soon he recovered and asked, “Are you sure about that? How do you know that?”
“I saw his jade pendant hidden in his sleeve.”
“Jade pendant?” Long’s eyes changed, “You mean the one with the mark?”
“Yes. It has the mark engraved on it. Besides, it’s the mark exclusively belonging to the princess of the Eastern Darkness.”
Long’s eyes narrowed, “Well then, that’s possible. Keep your eyes on him closely! But don’t investigate it on your own. You can use the scouts working for us in Tianji Sect.”
“Got it.”
Ying Feng replied and then left.
Long came back to his room while thinking that something might change and need to be reconsidered if Suye was really a hidden princess of Lord Zhou…
A few days later, Ying Feng brought certain news that the Childe Suye was actually called Zhou Suye and he indeed was the son of Lord Zhou.
But, there was still one thing pretty weird.
According to the information that had been taken by both the scouts and Fang Shuoyang, it could easily know that the Childe Suye was trained as heir by Lord Zhou.
It was such important information, but Childe Suye didn’t know it at all. That was so strange.
Or perhaps, that Childe Suye never thought that he would be the heir.
Of course, he knew his true identity, a princess.
But there were many princesses and any of them could be the heir.
However obviously, Childe Suye also had great ambition. Otherwise, he wouldn’t work so hard to form his cliques and seek talent with eagerness.
Thinking of this, Long became a bit more confused.
What did Childe Suye truly want to do?
Or what did Lord Zhou truly want to do?
Long kept thinking about all these things alone and silently after Ying Feng left.
Suddenly, the door of his room was pushed open. Long frowned. Didn’t he tell them to leave him alone? Who came to bother him now?
He looked over with dissatisfaction but the next second, Long was stunned after he saw the people who came in, “Qingzhou… Qingzhou?”
Yep, the comer was exactly Qingzhou.
Long took a deep breath, “It’s you, Qingzhou. Am I in a dream?”
Shi Qingzhou approached Long slowly, with his lips compressed together.
“You thought you are in a dream now?”
Long blinked his eyes unbelievably and then blinked his eyes again till he made sure that the one in front of him was really, really his… Qingzhou.
Next second, Long hugged him in his arms.
Hugging him tightly and feeling his warm temperature, Long finally ensured that the person in his arms wasn’t anyone else, but Qingzhou, his Qingzhou…
Long let out a deep sigh. His heart jumped extremely fast at this moment.
“Qingzhou, I never thought… that you’ll come…”
“So did I.” Shi Qingzhou said in a low voice.
Slightly, Long let go of him, “But you still came.”
Shi lowered his eyes, “Yes, I did.”
Again, Long held him in his arms and then kissed on his lips dearly.
This kiss was so hot that it could even burn them.
After hugging him tightly for a while, Long carried Shi in his arms.
At this moment, Shi knew clearly what was waiting for himt, and at this moment, what he wanted most was to have his hug.
Therefore, Shi didn’t refuse Long and responded actively to Long.
Feeling Shi’s enthusiasm, Long seemed to have a flame burning in his heart.
Soon, Long put him on the bed and then bowed to get closer and closer. The temperature in the room quickly increased.
When both of them were naked, Long saw the wound on Shi’s shoulder and the traces on his legs which was made by riding the horse. Subconsciously, Long asked with concern, “What happened on your shoulder?”
Shi, who now was kind of lost in the passion, opened his eyes and asked, “Are you sure that you want to know it at this moment?”
Directly Long looked at him and then slowly said, “I’m sure. And now tell me, how did you get injured in the shoulder?”
Shi pursed his lips and then, answered indifferently, “I had met a group of robbers. They had many people, so I accidentally got hurt during the fight.”
Long took a deep breath and then continued, “How about the traces on your legs? Was it made by riding?”
“Em,” Shi responded, gently.
“You haven’t stopped for even one second on the way, did you?” Long continued to ask, in a low voice.
Without answering his question, Shi asked slowly, “Is that important?”
“For me, it is.” Long looked at him with his tender eyes.
“Qingzhou, you let me know… that I’m such an asshole.”
Shi Qingzhou paused, then he compressed his lips. But in the end, he slowly shook his head.
“No, you’re not. In fact… I’m too aggressive.”
Long immediately shook his head, “No! Qingzhou… I know you can feel my guilt. I regret that I hurt your feelings at that time…” Long wanted to say something more but Shi suddenly hugged him closely and interrupted him.
“Don’t say that. You did nothing wrong and you don’t need to feel guilty or apologize. Actually, I came here… to say sorry to you. Long Xiaoyuan, it was my fault. I’m sorry that I’m not a perfect lover. Compared to the others, men or women, you must be very tired to be with me. I’m not gentle. I’m so stubborn and obstinate. I…”
“Enough.” Long suddenly kissed him on his lips, “Qingzhou, stop saying that. You make me feel too ashamed…”
Being kissed on the lips, Shi slowly closed his eyes.
Slightly Long kept a small distance from Shi as he looked at Shi firmly, “From now on, neither you nor I should ever mention that quarrel again, okay? We are all responsible for it, but I take on greater responsibility. Okay?”
Shi opened his eyes and looked at Long, saying, “Alright. But remember what you said just now.”
“Yes. I will.” Long smiled.
After getting a well-pleasing answer, Shi closed his eyes again and said, “Can we stop discussing now?”
Hearing his words, Long smiled,
“Fine. I won’t say a word next…”
And he did say nothing then, and only fondled his lover in his arms…
