The one who suddenly appeared in front of him from a far distance.
At night, Ouyang Chuan was stopped by Ying Feng when he came to look for Long.
The corner of Ouyang’s mouth twitched, “They’re still… Em?”
Stockily, Ying Feng responded, “Of course it will take them a long time to talk with each other after a long separation.”
“…” Ouyang was speechless.
And Ying Feng just said simply, “Mr. Ouyang. You can come at another time.”
Ouyang’s lips twitched again, then he asked reluctantly, “So, when do you think I should come again?”
Without any hesitation, Ying Feng answered, “Tomorrow maybe.”
After hearing his suggestion, Ouyang couldn’t help but sigh in his heart, and then, he left, without saying anything.
In the morning next day, with the warm sunlight poured into the room, Long was woken up first by his punctual biological clock.
Then, he looked at the man who slept beside him.
Shi was still sleeping at this time. Now taking a closer look, Long then noticed the dark circle under his eyes.
Long could imagine that Shi must have been travelling without stop to see him so that he didn’t get enough rest.
With guilt, Long touched Shi’s eyes gently.
Meanwhile, Shi suddenly opened his eyes.
“You woke up?” Long immediately asked.
Shi nodded, “Yes.”
Tenderly, Long pinched Shi’s waist, “Let me give you a massage.”
Shi didn’t refuse Long’s request, just enjoying his service.
After a while, Shi then said, “Enough.”
Long nodded in response and then pulled Shi out of the quilt.
After washing his face, Shi immediately felt refreshed.
Long said, “You came here just like this? With no mask on your face?”
Shi replied, “Of course not. I wore it all the way, but took it off before I came into your room.”
Long blinked his eyes, “Why did you take it off? Were you afraid that I couldn’t recognize you?”
Giving a cool glance at Long, Shi said, “You think too much. Do you prefer to do what you have done to me last night while looking at someone else?”
“Nope.” Long shook his head at once, “I prefer to look at you only.”
Shi said lightly, “So that’s the reason.”
Then, Long flatteringly pulled Shi’s hand and said in a kittenish voice, “Okay, I see. Are you hungry now, Qingzhou?”
Shi Qingzhou nodded, “Yes, a little.”
At once, Long pulled Shi out.
And Ying Feng had already waited outside earlier.
“Master.” He called respectfully.
Long ordered, “Has the breakfast prepared yet? We’re hungry now.”
“Yes. I will deliver it to your room soon.”
“Okay. Hurry up!” Long ordered again.
Then, Ying Feng went to get breakfast. And Long pulled Shi back to the room again.
Soon, Ying Feng came back with breakfast.
Meanwhile, Ouyang also came over from outside.
“Finally, you guys got up…” Ouyang said, banteringly.
Long gave a quick blink and then looked at the way to the door, “How come you’re so upset? Is it because I haven’t shared my room with you? Come on, it’s not a big deal. Don’t tell me that you want to sleep in my room so urgently.”
As Long’s words died away, Shi immediately glanced at Ouyang coldly.
At once, Ouyang’s face darkened, literarily, darkened. He yelled, “What the hell are you talking about?”
Facing his anger, Long only shrugged his shoulder and said, “I just tried to guess the reason why you look so upset. Don’t get mad at me if I guessed wrong.”
Ouyang snorted coldly, “Whatever.”
After saying that, Ouyang came into the room and directly walked to Shi Qingzhou.
Shi raised his head and looked at Ouyang, “You want to ask something about Liu Suifeng?”
Ouyang nodded, “Yes. How is he?”
Shi responded lightly, “He’s good. Now he is in the military camp, using my identity.”
“Wait!” Long was surprised, “Using your identity?”
“Yes.” Then, Shi told Long the whole thing that Wang Chun had rebelled before.
Long curled his lips, “Why would he choose to be a traitor rather than living in happiness? Now what? Will he regret for his choice?”
Ignoring his question, Shi just said indifferently, “Everyone needs to pay for his choice.”
Long sighed, “Well, let’s forget it. Qingzhou, it’s time to have your breakfast.”
Shi nodded.
After having breakfast, Long went to arrange Ying Feng to do an investigation on something.
When there were only Ouyang and Shi left in the room, Shi said unwittingly, “Actually, Liu Suifeng was going to come with me. But unfortunately,…”
“Unfortunately what?”
“Unfortunately, I refused him when he came to ask me. One person is enough to come here for help.”
Ouyang’s lips twitched.
Shi continued to say, “Or you can go back now so that Liu Suifeng can get a chance coming here.”
Ouyang was stunned.
“In this case, “Shi added gently, “not only you can have a short meet, but also, you can expose yourself on the frontier juncture.”
Immediately, Ouyang understood what Shi meant to do.
However…
Shi looked at him coldly, “You think it’s too far from here?”
Ouyang didn’t answer Shi’s question.
Shi smiled slightly, “But it worth a try, right?”
Ouyang took a deep breath and finally made a decision, “I will go back.”
Staring at him, Shi nodded and then said, “By the way, you can report to General Qin about what happened here. He needs to do some preparation now.”
Ouyang nodded slowly and said, “Okay, got it.”
Shi then said, “Before you leave, I will remind you of all the things you need to pay attention to. You must keep them all in your mind.”
Ouyang nodded again and promised, “Sure.”
Therefore, when Long finally came back to the room, Ouyang had already left as Shi suggested.
Long even went into the blank for a second as he heard Shi’s reply when he asked where Ouyang was, “Ah? He left?”
Shi nodded, ” Yes. I asked him to send some information to our country. Besides, Liu Suifeng and he appear alternately, which can help us to hide here better.”
“It’s true.” Long rubbed his chin and nodded after a quick think, “You’re right.”
“But… I never thought that he would go back willingly since we’re already very far away from our country.” Long still felt a bit surprised about Ouyang’s sudden decision.
Shi responded gently, “Why not? It’s just a bit far away from here to our country. Besides, he had been leaving for so many days. You know. He misses Liu Suifeng very much.”
“Emm… It makes sense…” Long rubbed his chin again and said, “Liu Suifeng also misses him.”
“So,” Shi decided to change a topic, “what are we going to do today?”
Long thought for a while and then said, “There are only three persons needed to do the business. We can stay in the room, or we can make a change and then hang out in the Eastern Darkness.”
“Em?” Shi raised his eyebrows, ” You haven’t told me your plan in details yet.”
Long nodded, “Well then, I will tell you now.” As he said, Long held Shi’s hand and walked to the table.
After they all sat down, Shi poured two glasses of tea, waiting for Long to speak…
