Chapter 647 - 647: Ambiguous Feelings

Translator: Lordbluefire

Luo Yan was startled by Yan Zixuan’s sudden appearance.

Being the young lady of the Luo family, she was actually quite delicate and pampered, never having suffered much. She usually wore silk clothes, but today she had put on a military uniform, especially the collar with a tag, which had kept rubbing against her skin.

Her skin had become irritated as a result.

During the standing practice today, she kept fidgeting and couldn’t stand still because of the itchiness, which was the true reason. After being scolded by Yan Zixuan, she gritted her teeth and endured it, but the pain in her back made it impossible for her to sleep.

Especially since she didn’t bring any pajamas, she had to wear the short-sleeve shirts provided by the barracks when going to bed.

However, these short-sleeve shirts must not have been washed after being made… Wearing them made her feel even more uncomfortable, so she took advantage of everyone being asleep and came here to clean up and apply some medicine.

She didn’t want the other female soldiers in the barracks to see her like this because after the Princess had left tonight, some of the female soldiers cried out in pain. At that time, as the big sister among the female soldiers, she naturally spoke encouraging words to everyone.

But she was still a young girl, with a painful back, so she came out in the middle of the night.

At this moment, she wanted to apply medicine to her back, but she couldn’t reach it and couldn’t see it clearly. Sometimes, her fingers directly poked the wound, causing her tears to come out.

It was at this moment that Yan Zixuan jumped out and scolded her.

She looked up at him in confusion, her eyes still filled with tears. Under the moonlight, her eyes shone brightly, and it was this innocent look that made Yan Zixuan suddenly feel a burning sensation in his heart.

Then he saw Luo Yan finally come to her senses, and she instinctively wanted to scream!

Yan Zixuan immediately understood that this woman must have thought that he was a pervert.

But if he let her scream, the surrounding soldiers would come running. And if they saw her disheveled condition, the two of them wouldn’t be able to explain themselves even with a thousand mouths!

So Yan Zixuan immediately lunged forward and covered Luo Yan’s mouth.

However, in the struggle, Luo Yan’s clothes fell to the ground…

Yan Zixuan immediately scrambled to help her pick up her clothes, intending to help her put them on. But before he could act, Luo Yan suddenly opened her mouth and bit down hard on his hand that was covering her mouth!

Yan Zixuan. “!!”

The pain made Yan Zixuan’s face contort, and he wished he could punch the woman in front of him. But Luo Yan’s stubborn eyes were fixed on him, making him unable to follow through.

Yan Zixuan took a deep breath and said, “Miss Luo, I’m not interested in you. I covered your mouth because 1 was afraid you would scream and attract people. Do you think we can explain ourselves then?”

Luo Yan’s expression softened slightly upon hearing this.

Then Yan Zixuan said, “How about this? 1’11 count to three, and then let you go. 1’11 back away immediately and not look at you. What do you think?”

Luo Yan couldn’t speak, as her mouth was still covered by his hand. Even though she bit him hard, he didn’t remove his hand.

She could only nod.

Her appearance was like that of a frightened rabbit, which Yan Zixuan found somewhat adorable.

He even had the urge to stroke her hair.

But Yan Zixuan managed to restrain himself, took a deep breath, and let go of her.

Luo Yan didn’t scream.

Yan Zixuan breathed a sigh of relief.

He quickly stood up, facing away from Luo Yan. “Alright, hurry up and put your clothes on!”

Then he heard rustling sounds coming from behind him.

After a while, without turning his head, Yan Zixuan heard Luo Yan’s crying.

Yan Zixuan.”??”

He hadn’t done anything to her, so why was she crying?

The corners of Yan Zixuan’s mouth twitched as he looked back at Luo Yan.

He saw her holding her knees and squatting there, with tears streaming down her face.

Yan Zixuan.”???”

He couldn’t help but ask, “What’s wrong?”

“What’s wrong? It’s all your fault! You’ve been targeting me all day, and just now you tried to take advantage of me. Now I won’t be able to marry anyone but you, wuwuwu…” Luo Yan’s grievance exploded, and she started crying.

Her crying made Yan Zixuan pause, and he couldn’t help but cough. “Well, about today’s incident, if you don’t say anything, and 1 don’t say anything. No one will know.”

Luo Yan immediately retorted angrily, “You’ve seen my body, and you don’t want to take responsibility for me?”

Yan Zixuan’s mind went blank, and it exploded. “All, you, you want me to take responsibility for you?”

“Pei! Who wants a man like you! Don’t you dare say a word about what happened today!” The woman changed her tone again.

Yan Zixuan was dumbfounded.

Why was Luo Yan acting like this one moment and like that the next?

Should he take responsibility for her or not?

As he was pondering, he heard Luo Yan say. “I, I actually just, just have a sore back…”

She started crying again. “1 miss my mom. If I were at home and got hurt, my mom would definitely help me apply medicine and comfort me. Her touch is gentle, but I can’t reach it myself…”

Yan Zixuan was annoyed by her crying and blurted out, “Can I be your mom today?”

Luo Yan. “???”

Yan Zixuan immediately said, “I mean, I’ll help you apply the medicine!”
