Traveling through time and space to become a lady of a noble family, but she only wants to escape

Chapter 136 Self-Force

A few days later, the list was posted exactly as it was, without a single change.

After the results were announced, Chu Yunchuan and Fang Zhiheng had a real headache - they had to look at everyone's answers and place them in the right place. However, there was a good thing. During the turmoil in the Thirteen States, many aristocratic families were broken up. Now Chu Yunchuan didn't have to worry about any aristocratic family and could only appoint people based on their talents.

However, the number of people on the list was so large that even if they were only recruited based on their talents, it was enough to make Chu Yunchuan and Fang Zhiheng suffer. Once, Bai Zhi woke up in the middle of the night and found that the person who had been sleeping with her arms around her had disappeared. She thought something had happened, so she kicked open the door, held down a servant, and asked if he had seen King Jing.

But they took her to the study and said that since the announcement of the results, Prince Jing and the master had been discussing in the study day and night.

Bai Zhi knew that Chu Yunchuan was busy during the day, but she didn't know that Chu Yunchuan would even narrate stories until midnight.

Obviously this person can still find time to teach her internal skills.

The light in the study was only half lit, and the sound of continuous conversations in her ears isolated Bai Zhi from the peaceful night.

So the next day, Bai Zhi went out early and came back late to wander around, so that Chu Yunchuan wouldn't have to be distracted to accompany her. The Thirteen States were neither cold in winter nor hot in summer, and the streets were bustling all year round, not to mention the center of the Thirteen States, the city of Weizhou.

But no matter how lively the time is, it’s meaningless if there’s no one around you.

Another day passed, and after breakfast, Bai Zhi put down her chopsticks and said, "I'm going to go home and take a look today."

Chu Yunchuan's hands trembled, and he almost spilled the porridge he had just finished drinking. He tried to open his eyes wide and asked slowly, "What happened at home?"

I slept too little and my reactions became slower. Bai Zhi looked at the darker and darker lines under Chu Yunchuan's eyes and sighed, "Nothing's wrong at home. I've been away for too long and want to go home. I'll come back to see you after you're done with this busy period."

Anyway, she couldn't help here, so it would be better to waste less of Chu Yunchuan's energy.

"Then... Then I'll go back with you. There should be more..." Chu Yunchuan counted the remaining work on his fingers - the more he counted, the more nervous he became. Not only did he have to confer honors, but he also had to meet with the new officials, read the official documents sent in by the states and counties, and...

He looked at Bai Zhi reluctantly for several times, and finally closed his eyes, as if he was going to be executed, and said with a dead heart: "...Well, you go home first, I will go back after I am done with this busy period."

Bai Zhi: "..."

Why does she look like a villain?

Bai Zhi struggled to look away from Chu Yunchuan's lost expression, like a young bird leaving the nest: "Then... there is no time to lose, I will leave in a moment."

"By carriage or on horseback?"

"There's no hurry to go back. Take the carriage."

"Then I will..."

"You go ahead and do your thing. The Fang Mansion has plenty of carriages. I can just borrow one."

There was nothing much to pack, and the luggage was safe in Chu Yunchuan's hands. He only needed to take the purse home. Bai Zhi casually put on her coat and said, "Don't get too tired. Go back the same way you came."

Chu Yunchuan suddenly reached out and pulled Bai Zhi to sit on his lap. He buried his head deep in Bai Zhi's shoulder and bit her ear and said sullenly, "Did I ignore you these days and you blame me?"

"I do not……"

"Then why do you suddenly want to go home?"

The sound of hot flashes in her ears was hoarse, and her hands began to slide slowly around her waist restlessly. Bai Zhi made her whole body numb and itchy, and her back felt like a snake was circling around her. She wished she could have a Zhougong meeting with this busy man right away. She grabbed Chu Yunchuan's hand that was lighting the fire, and raised it to Chu Yunchuan's chin, panting a little and said, "My lord, what's wrong with you? You don't sleep at night and indulge in lust during the day. Aren't you tired?"

"You know everything?" Chu Yunchuan leaned over and bit Bai Zhi's lips, "Could it be that you can't sleep well without me around?"

"Actually, I woke up in the middle of the night because I had to pee urgently." Bai Zhi laughed softly, "Qian Sui, do you want to hear that I can't sleep or eat well without you by my side?"

Chu Yunchuan said without hesitation: "Yes, I want to hear it. Tell me."

Is it an illusion? Bai Zhi felt that Chu Yunchuan was becoming more and more frank in front of her. She smiled with great satisfaction: "Oh? Unfortunately, it's useless for me to say it. Your Excellency is still busy. How can he remember that there is a person who can't sleep in the room?"

Chu Yunchuan said seriously: "I will sleep next to you tonight. Move the file to the bed and read it."

Bai Zhi: "...I was just talking nonsense, Qiansui, I was sleeping soundly, please don't do that."

"What should I do? After you go home, it will be my turn to have trouble sleeping and eating." Chu Yunchuan hugged Bai Zhi tightly in his arms as if he was addicted, and his breathing became more and more rapid. "Can you please not go back and wait for me for a few more days? In a few more days, I can finish my work. Then you can ask me to sleep with you. I will listen to you."

"...Why do you make me sound like a patron forcing a girl to accompany him...Besides, how are you going to finish all the work in just a few days and tear yourself apart? Are you going to tire yourself to death or Fang Zhiheng to death?"

What Bai Zhi didn't expect was that Chu Yunchuan actually thought of a solution: "If we can meet the officials in the carriage, we can save time on the journey, and then bring the files to the carriage to read, so..."

"Stop, stop, stop!"

The more she listened, the more frightened she became. Bai Zhi was a little angry. She pulled Chu Yunchuan by the collar and dragged him away. She said expressionlessly, "My Lord, are you used to using yourself as a candle? It's fine that you worked hard to rebuild the Thirteenth Army, but you're also working hard for such a small matter?"

Chu Yunchuan's voice softened immediately: "It's just that there is too little time and too many things I want to do."

"Whether it's me or the dossier, who's going to run away?"

Chu Yunchuan was silent.

During the two years of rebuilding the Thirteen States, he was really afraid that if he was slower, Bai Zhi would not remember him. Fortunately, God blessed him and he had such a good result.

But he couldn't help wanting more.

Chu Yunchuan looked at Bai Zhi drunkenly and said softly, "I will listen to you no matter what you want me to do."

"Do you all listen to me?"

"It's all up to you."

"Okay then." Bai Zhi said, "First of all, I'll go home. Second, don't be impatient. Come back to see me when the New Year is approaching."

Chu Yunchuan's eyes widened: "New Year's Day?"

Wouldn't that be the end of him?

Bai Zhi said firmly: "Yes, take your time to read your documents, don't work too hard, eat when you should eat and sleep when you should sleep, and don't come back before the New Year."

Seeing Chu Yunchuan's distraught expression, Bai Zhi reluctantly added: "It counts as celebrating the Little New Year."

Chu Yunchuan: “…”

Both are lingchi. Is there any difference between three thousand cuts and two thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine cuts?

He suddenly picked up Bai Zhi and put her on the bed, saying in a hoarse voice, "More than a month! You are so cruel! How can I live like this?"

"How are you going to get through? Haven't you thought about it?" Bai Zhi took the initiative, ripped open Chu Yunchuan's belt, and pulled his clothes off in one piece, laughing, "My dear, don't be so reserved!"
