Chapter 2502: My Wife Is a Pirate 32

These words hit like a sudden rebuke, making Yue Ling and Fang Yunyao startle violently.

They had never considered this from that angle.

Yue Ling instinctively tightened his grip on Fang Yunyao's icy hand; they exchanged a glance, and both saw shock and hesitation in each other's eyes.

Really, only an outsider can see this kind of thing most clearly.

Yue Ling fell silent for a moment, then said in a low voice: "This matter… is of great importance. Allow us… to consider it carefully for two more days."

Bu Changji let out a cold snort, waved his hand like shooing a fly, and said, "Get lost! Don't be an eyesore here!"

The pirates behind him immediately shouted in unison, their aura fierce.

"Get lost!"

Yue Ling's face darkened, but he ultimately said nothing more, protecting the still‑shaken Fang Yunyao and leading his troops away quickly from that oppressive beach.

After Yue Ling's group had completely disappeared, the very perceptive pirates exchanged glances, slipped away quickly, and returned to the stone building to the east, determined not to become a stumbling block on their chief's pursuit of his husband.

The pirate leader who had just been harsh and arrogant now had not a shred of ferocity left.

Bu Changji casually tossed his saber to the ground, then moved to Jin Chen's side, pulling at his sleeve as his voice softened.

"My head feels dizzy… I think I pulled it again just now."

Then he began to show his true colors, asking, "Can I have a hug?"

He didn't even wait for Jin Chen's answer, throwing himself into his embrace, arms locked tight around Jin Chen's waist and burying his face in his chest.

Jin Chen sighed, raised a hand to press against his forehead and felt it; fortunately, the fever hadn't continued.

"Didn't I tell you to rest in bed at the stone building? Who let you run out?"

Bu Changji now found a legitimate excuse, immediately beginning to complain with a tone of grievance yet righteousness.

"Then I heard you were surrounded by the officials, right?"

"What if they caught you? We haven't even formed the bond yet, and… we haven't even fully reconciled! You can't come to harm!"

He acted coy, soft and sweet, with a seductive charm; after speaking he still wasn't satisfied, rubbing his soft cheek against Jin Chen's neck, "Husband…"

Jin Chen's heart completely softened, and he finally reached out to return the embrace.

Feeling his response, Bu Changji seized the opportunity, boldly lifting his face with bright, sparkling eyes to look at him.

"Then… kiss me?"

A flicker of a smile crossed Jin Chen's eyes as he teased, "Kiss what? In broad daylight, out in the wilderness…"

Bu Changji didn't care about that, puckering his lips insistently, "I want a kiss, husband…"

Jin Chen made as if to lower his head, and Bu Changji eagerly rose on his tiptoes to press his lips to his.

The kiss was deep and lingering, filled with the joy of regained loss and intense longing.

Jin Chen brought Bu Changji back to the cottage at White Wave Hollow.

Having just entered the familiar courtyard, Bu Changji looked at every blade of grass and tree; although he knew everything all too well, he felt as if a year had passed.

He still remembered the jar of cured meat he had made earlier, ran over to open the lid, pinched off a piece to chew, and then habitually sat on the small wooden table in the courtyard, swinging his legs.

He jumped down from the table, took the small dried fish, and went to feed Jin Chen.

Jin Chen turned his head and said he didn't want to eat.

Bu Changji didn't insist, merely gazing at Jin Chen with eyes full of affection.

Jin Chen reached out, wiped a bit of salt from the corner of his lips with his fingertip, and pressed gently against his soft lips.

Bu Changji no longer cared about food; he opened his mouth, gently took Jin Chen's calloused finger inside, licked it with his tongue, and gazed at him with wet eyes.

A warm, moist softness came from the fingertip, and Jin Chen's gaze deepened.

Bu Changji found that gaze a little hard to bear, whining as he moved in again, seeking another kiss.

Bu Changji then settled into Jin Chen's lap, arms around his neck, face upturned, and asked, "When will we form the bond?"

Jin Chen gave a low chuckle, feigning teasing, "Did I say I wasn't angry? And now you're already thinking about the bond?"

Bu Changji instantly deflated like a punctured fish bubble, shoulders slumping as he muttered softly, "No…"

Jin Chen raised an eyebrow: "Then why are you asking?"

Bu Changji pouted, looking at him pleadingly, "What must I do for you not to be angry? Tell me…"

Seeing his pitiful yet adorable appearance, Jin Chen couldn't help but flick his forehead lightly with a finger.

"Figure it out yourself."

Bu Changji covered his non‑painful forehead, rolled his eyes, and began to act spoiled again.

"Then… can we kiss again before I figure it out?"

He was utterly addicted to this person, wishing to cling to him constantly, needing endless kisses and touches to quell the inner unease and let his restless heart settle completely.

In the afternoon, Liu Pingan and a few familiar brothers came again to find Jin Chen to go out to sea.

This time Liu Xiu also came along; upon seeing Jin Chen he flashed a smile, but instantly spotted Bu Changji clinging to Jin Chen's side, his lips twitched in displeasure as he followed behind, yet he no longer dared to mock them as before.

Bu Changji paid him no heed, hooking Jin Chen's arm and gently shaking it, his voice soft and coquettish, "I want to go too, I'll go with you, okay? I promise not to cause trouble."

Jin Chen had no choice but to nod in agreement.

Liu Pingan's brothers, though feeling a bit pressured, had also grown more accepting of these special neighbors after the previous pirate rescue incident, and thus didn't say anything.

Several small boats set out one after another, tied together with coarse hemp rope, anchored and staked in the relatively calm sea, and cast their nets.
