Chapter 438 Zhou Sheng Ru Gu 49
Seeing that Zhou Shengchen had drunk a lot of wine, Ling Xi stopped him in time, fearing that if he drank any more, he would fall into a coma for several days.

As a result, when he stretched out his hand, it was held by Zhou Shengchen instead.

Zhou Shengchen's hands were covered with thick calluses from years of holding the sword and fighting.

It's not comfortable to touch, but it's reassuring.

The two hands were intertwined, with the big hands wrapping around the small hands, appearing particularly ambiguous in the dim light.

Ling Xi raised her eyes and looked towards Zhou Shengchen, but was stunned the moment she met his eyes.

Zhou Shengchen's eyes are very beautiful. When the tails of his eyes are slightly raised, they are gentle and non-aggressive, but rather romantic and affectionate.

At this moment, those soft and affectionate eyes were flashing with tender and gentle love, without any concealment.

Ling Xi almost fell into those eyes full of love.

The next moment, Zhou Shengchen leaned his head on their folded hands, as if he was a hedgehog turning over its soft belly, exposing its most fatal part.

Ling Xi was a little surprised and his expression suddenly weakened.

"Why can't we be closer?"

Zhou Shengchen's drunken voice rang out in the empty hall. This voice was indescribably lonely and desolate.

But it made Ling Xi feel a sharp pain in his heart.

Zhou Shengchen held Ling Xi's hand tighter and refused to let go. Ling Xi couldn't pull his hand away.

Then she and Zhou Shengchen just held hands and looked at each other in silence.

The night was dark, and in this dim hall, many suppressed emotions burst out without reservation.

The more you suppress it on a daily basis, the more violent it will be when it explodes.

Ling Xi stared at Zhou Shengchen's superior eyebrows and eyes, and her eye sockets became swollen and painful, and her chest felt stuffy and sore.

She really wanted to be closer to him, but she couldn't.

Now they are partners fighting side by side, but in the near future they will be enemies fighting each other.

Neither of them would compromise for anyone, and this determined the outcome between them.

"Zhou Shengchen," Ling Xi murmured softly, her voice was very light, like the whispers between lovers.

Zhou Shengchen sat up, still holding Ling Xi's hands tightly with both hands, and said drunkenly: "Hmm?"

"I wonder if you will remember what happened tonight tomorrow?" Ling Xi leaned forward, slowly approached Zhou Shengchen, and asked softly.

Zhou Shengchen was in a daze and answered very seriously: "I don't remember things when I'm drunk. I will forget them tomorrow."

Ling Xi smiled and said, "That's good."

After saying that, without waiting for Zhou Shengchen's reaction, Ling Xi stretched out his hand, and his slender fingers fell on Zhou Shengchen's forehead, slowly moving down from the forehead, to the brow bone, and to the tall nose bone, and finally the fingertips fell silently on the tip of Zhou Shengchen's nose.

People say that the young King Nanchen has the bones of a beautiful woman, which are more precious than the bones of an emperor.

Now, she has also known his beautiful bones, which makes her life worthwhile.

Even if they become enemies in the future, she will accept it.

Zhou Shengchen quietly let Ling Xi do what he wanted. Even though he was drunk, he could still feel the warm touch on his face, with a slightly bitter fragrance, the kind of smell that he was addicted to.

There was originally a table between them, but as Ling Xi approached, the distance had gradually shortened.

Now, they were face to face, so close that they could almost touch each other's breath.

Ling Xi lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes fluttering like a fluttering butterfly, blinking continuously.

Her eyes fell on the tip of Zhou Shengchen's nose, and suddenly, she leaned forward and kissed him.

It was just a kiss like a dragonfly touching the water, and it left in an instant.

Zhou Shengchen's lips were cool and had a strong aroma of wine. After the kiss, Zhou Shengchen blinked and stared at Ling Xi's pink lips for a while.

Before he could move, Ling Xi lightly touched Zhou Shengchen's neck, and Zhou Shengchen fainted.

Carefully placing Zhou Shengchen's head on the table, Ling Xi went to the inner hall and brought back a pillow and a quilt.

Ling Xi placed a pillow under Zhou Shengchen's head, adjusted his posture so that he wouldn't feel uncomfortable, and covered him with a quilt.

After doing all this, Ling Xi lay on the table and stared at Zhou Shengchen carefully for a long time. Finally, she couldn't help but gently kissed Zhou Shengchen on the lips.

"Good night." Ling Xi murmured softly.

I hope you will forget all this tonight tomorrow.

Ling Xi went to the side hall, and for some reason, she fell asleep quickly.

The next morning, Zhou Shengchen woke up groggily.

When Zhou Shengchen saw the pillow he was sleeping on and the quilt on his body, he guessed who had put it there for him. A warm feeling passed through his heart, as if his heart was soaked in warm water.

But after shaking his head, Zhou Shengchen couldn't remember when he got drunk last night.

Although Sang Luo was intoxicated, given his alcohol tolerance, he wouldn't be so drunk that he wouldn't even remember how he fell asleep.

After walking out of the palace, Zhou Shengchen saw Ling Xi sitting beside the flower bed with a gentle look on his face, and his life was peaceful and quiet.

He walked over and asked, "Why did you wake up so early?"

Ling Xi smiled and replied: "Your Majesty, you woke up too late."

Zhou Shengchen put his hands behind his back and asked, "When did I get drunk and fall asleep last night? How come I didn't even know you were back?"

Ling Xi shook her head: "I don't know. When I came back from outside, I saw you sleeping outside drunk. I was afraid you would be cold, so I brought you a pillow and bedding."

Zhou Shengchen always felt that something was not quite right, but he could not remember anything that happened last night.

Thinking that Ling Xi was always honest and would never lie, Zhou Shengchen believed it a little.

Ling Xi stood up, looked at Zhou Shengchen and asked with a smile: "Now that the matter in Zhongzhou has been resolved, when will we return to Xizhou?"

Zhou Shengchen asked with concern: "Don't you like it here?"

He thought again of the first time he came to Zhongzhou a few years ago, when Ling Xi said that she didn't like Zhongzhou. Now it seems that it is still the same.

But so is he.

He had been away from Zhongzhou for too long and felt too comfortable in Xizhou. He also didn't like the intrigues in Zhongzhou.

"Don't worry, I'll go back to Xizhou as soon as possible after I resolve the matter."

"I hope I won't come to Zhongzhou again in the future."

Hearing this, Ling Xi thought that this wish was unlikely to come true.

Just looking at the court of Northern Chen, there is no telling how many problems will arise.

Zhao Teng and Liu Yuan have been dealt with, but there is still Qi Zhenzhen, a woman who loves power, and Liu Zixing, a poisonous snake lurking in the dark.

I don’t know how many troubles are waiting for Zhou Shengchen, the little King of Nanchen.

Ling Xi: "I am going to leave the palace to visit the palace today. Your Majesty, would you like to accompany me?"

Zhou Shengchen guessed in his heart: "Is he going to see Eleven?"

Ling Xi replied: "That's the first reason. Secondly, I want to go check on Guang's body again. After all, he is a person of some importance. With him around, the court will be much more peaceful. So, it's better for him to be alive."

Zhou Shengchen: "Be careful, I have to go see Liu Yuan today, so I can't go with you."

"I know."
