away from the heart

Chapter 10
There were a few cock crows outside the window.Xue Yao rubbed his forehead wearily, and stood up from the desk.After another sleepless night, he looked through all the notes and letters left by his brother all night, and there was no mention of the Chuyue princess or other assassins.He opened the window, and the eastern sky was pale, and the sun was about to come out.

Suddenly hearing a rustling sound from the corner, Xue Yao became alert: "Who?!"

No one answered.He followed the sound and approached, and saw the big wooden box in the corner of the study room with its lid wide open, something turned inside out, and then protruded out of the box... Is that a leg, a woman's leg?He rubbed his eyes in disbelief.

Inside the wooden box, Chuyue's sweet dream was in full swing, and she didn't realize that someone was approaching.In the dream, a plate of braised pork floated from the sky, it was so delicious!She sniffled intoxicatedly, the beard on her cheeks swayed, and the tail behind her waggled involuntarily.

Xue Yao approached cautiously step by step.The sun emerged from the sky, and the morning light gradually filled the whole room, covering Chuyue.Touched by the sun, the golden light on her forehead flickered and then went out.The fluffy pointed ears retracted, and the beard, buck teeth, and tail gradually disappeared, as if they had never appeared before.

Xue Yao stood still in front of the wooden box, and saw that Chuyue was lying sprawled in the box with a thick layer of sawdust under her body, with one leg hanging outside the box, which was very indecent.She was sleeping soundly, her face was flushed, and she even smacked her mouth.

The braised pork in the dream floated in front of my eyes, Chuyue opened her mouth wide and took a bite, but bit her own lip hard, and woke up suddenly in pain.When he opened his eyes, there was a handsome but unfamiliar face above his head, with unfriendly eyes, staring at her gloomyly.

Chuyue swallowed nervously, and shrank into the corner of the box.This is... that person from yesterday?What has he been staring at me for?The scene from last night suddenly emerged, and I seemed to have turned into a big mouse...

Chuyue suppressed a crying sound in her throat, and raised her hand to cover her face tightly: "You, what are you looking at, is there something wrong with me? You didn't see anything, you didn't see anything..." The words didn't finish , a big hand stretched out to cover her mouth, and dragged her out involuntarily.

Chuyue struggled with both hands and feet, but the other party was unmoved, grabbing her as easily as lifting a kitten.When Xue Yao walked out of the room, he felt a lump under his feet, and when he looked down, it was a peanut shell.He dragged Chuyue towards the new house, scattering fruit shells and sawdust all along the way.He felt the veins twitching on his forehead: Could it be that his mansion was taken over by a mouse spirit?

All the way to the door of the new house, Xue Yao kicked open the door, strode to the bed, and threw Chuyue down.The legs of the bed had been gnawed long ago until only a thin point remained, and now they could no longer support them. With a creaking sound, the marriage bed wobbled and collapsed.The red bed curtain covered Xue Yao and Chuyue overwhelmingly, covering them tightly.

In the burning square inch of heaven and earth, the distance between the two is only a finger.Chuyue didn't dare to blink her eyes, and stared fixedly at the face right in front of her eyes.He gritted his teeth, he must be very angry, but his eyes became brighter, against the bright red bed curtain behind him, his whole body seemed to be glowing.The warm breath sprayed on her neck, causing shudders down her back.For some reason, the words and sentences in the novels she had read came to her heart one after another, and she murmured that very vulgar sentence in her heart: Mo Shangren is like jade, the son of the world...

Xue Yao knocked down the bed curtain behind him with one hand, and picked up Chuyue.Chuyue screamed in pain: ...Young Master is a vicious wolf!
Xue Yao took out a rope from nowhere and tied her to the head of the bed.Chuyue stretched her neck to look for her own reflection in the bronze mirror, saw that it was a decent face, nothing unusual, she breathed a sigh of relief.Look around again, the tables and chairs are all traces of mice gnawing, and none of them have beards and tails.It seems that my teeth were fine last night...
