In this night of light rain.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were plenty of such poems.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xingzhou didn't recite them, but just pointed to his own face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pei Chuyun's face flushed slightly, and she looked back like a thief, as if checking if A'nuo was peeking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she quickly stood on tiptoe and kissed him lightly on the face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then her eyes sparkled, with a little coquettishness: \"I've kissed you, hurry up, hurry up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xingzhou said: \"I think there is a line that suits you very well.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Which line?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"'Free-flying flowers are light like dreams, boundless silk rain is fine like sorrow.' Lu Xingzhou said: 'You should have been an elf, like a flower and a dream, only hooking people's hearts, leaving no trace. But on one hand, your background is a mystery and full of light sorrow, and on the other hand, you are in the Joyous Union, not knowing when you will become the appearance of a thousand people tasting your lips, eager to establish authority, to give yourself a little more autonomy... I can always imagine you alone in the room looking at the cold moonlight and sighing while closing the book.'\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pei Chuyun's sparkling eyes became blank, just staring at him blankly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What's wrong?\" Lu Xingzhou pinched her face amusedly: \"You are the most adorable Joyous Union enchantress I have ever seen. You say you can hook anyone like this; where is the enchantress look from when we first met?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pei Chuyun's blank eyes regained some charm: \"Want my enchantress look? That would be bitter for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How am I bitter?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't you relive the old dream because although it feels comfortable to grope on the surface, it's actually more uncomfortable to forcibly endure the desire, so it's better not to?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xingzhou: \"......\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It really was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pei Chuyun bit her lower lip and reached out to stroke his cheek: \"Even when I kiss you, you subconsciously want to use qi, ready to resist the invasion of my charm technique at any time... Is it uncomfortable?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xingzhou couldn't hold his face: \"Alright, the poem is given, go, go, go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pei Chuyun giggled, suddenly attacked again, pecked him, smiled, turned around, and walked away with her hands behind her back: \"Saying I'm dull, aren't you also very cute.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A finger attacked from behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pei Chuyun clearly knew, but didn't dodge, letting him hit her acupoint.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xingzhou picked her up horizontally, threw her on the bed, and said with a straight face: \"You said it, relive the old dream.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pei Chuyun curled her lips, looking at the ceiling without speaking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xingzhou crawled onto the bed, hugging her shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pei Chuyun smiled slightly, leaned over, twisted gently, and kissed him in the ear deliberately: \"Want an enchantress... really an enchantress, can you handle it......\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I......\" Lu Xingzhou finally knew what it meant to lift a rock and drop it on his own feet, and said angrily: \"You weren't like this last night!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pei Chuyun's eyes were full of sarcasm: \"Because if I were too provocative last night, the meaning would be too obvious... you might have killed me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xingzhou was stunned and said angrily: \"I'll kill you now too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come on... if you don't kill me, you're not a hero.\" Pei Chuyun kissed his lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xingzhou subconsciously held his breath to resist, only then remembering that he had just sealed her acupoints, and his tense spirit relaxed a little, turned over, pinned her back, and lowered his head to gnaw: \"Afraid of you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pei Chuyun curled her lips secretly in her heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lips and tongues crossed, she could really use methods, but it didn't work in the early morning because besides sealing the acupoints, there was the effect of the medicine, and this time only the acupoints were sealed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she didn't use any methods, letting him kiss and play.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since it was reliving the old dream, she had promised... just cooperate with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides getting covered in saliva, what else could he do?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, she couldn't even get saliva on her body; on her body, he only dared to move his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pei Chuyun sometimes felt it was quite funny; the woman with the Joyous Union technique in her body originally did everything to trick men into bed, but between them, it had several times become her protective color, making the man itch but not dare to move her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, she still wanted to trick him into bed; the mental control of the Joyous Union is not a joke...... Unfortunately, this man's reason is extraordinary, and he can't be tricked, so it can only become this result.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, alright.\" Pei Chuyun pressed his hand and scolded: \"It's useless, why are you moving around, sleep.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Grass.\" Lu Xingzhou lay flat, looking at the ceiling, feeling dead inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yesterday it was Pei Chuyun who looked dead inside, now the tables have turned, and it's Lu Xingzhou's turn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So who is more shameless, who wins, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pei Chuyun found it even more funny, lying on his shoulder like a little cat, whispering charmingly: \"Do you want to... really try?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xingzhou reached out and pinched her face: \"You clearly don't want to use your body for a transaction, why bother.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pei Chuyun's smile froze on her face; fortunately, she was nestled on his shoulder, and the night was deep and thick, so it couldn't be seen clearly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why... do you see me like this?\" Pei Chuyun asked in a low voice: \"Including what you just said, that I want to establish authority to get rid of... I have never shown such a performance, why do you say that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Because you didn't strike to kill Qingli, but used charm technique. You actually wanted to control Qingli, not kill her to establish authority. Can I think that you are trying to replace the idea of only wanting to charm men in your sect? Then can it be deduced that you don't want to seduce men?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pei Chuyun didn't speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, little enchantress.\" Lu Xingzhou reached in with one hand and held it comfortably: \"Don't provoke, just like this, how good.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Pfft, you're good.\" Pei Chuyun said so, but didn't refuse, lying quietly on his shoulder without moving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xingzhou slept soundly this night, but Pei Chuyun kept her eyes open, shining like stars in the night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Actually, this was a good opportunity to pluck hair, but the little enchantress forgot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her mind was repeating, not knowing what she was thinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next morning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xingzhou opened his eyes, feeling something: \"Hey, don't tell me you didn't sleep.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pei Chuyun stretched and sat up straight: \"Just woke up earlier than you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xingzhou looked at her suspiciously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pei Chuyun grabbed the pillow and covered his face: \"Don't look at people like you see through them every day; it's annoying to see that look.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xingzhou laughed and cried as he grabbed the pillow: \"Fine, fine. Go wash up, and let's go eat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pei Chuyun hummed, ran to the door, and opened a crack to look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was very early, and she guessed A'nuo hadn't woken up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She let out a breath, slipped out, and returned to her room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xingzhou laughed dumbly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This little enchantress, even though her acupoints were unsealed, still looked like she was helpless because her acupoints were sealed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it seemed that the fundamental problem couldn't be changed...... Lu Xingzhou looked down at the iron-hard boat, sighed with a bitter face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both of them washed up, and very tacitly opened their doors at almost the same time from their respective rooms, meeting in the courtyard: \"Morning.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A'nuo brought breakfast in, seemingly knowing nothing: \"Master, Sister A'luo, time for breakfast.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dog man and woman coughed and sat down solemnly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then they saw A'nuo take two big buns for Lu Xingzhou, and put a huge fried dough stick in front of Pei Chuyun, smiling with curved eyes: \"Please enjoy, both of you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, she moved her short legs and turned to run. Pei Chuyun slapped the table and chased after her: \"You little brat, stand still!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not even eating the fried dough stick?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xingzhou broke the bun slowly, clamped the fried dough stick, and took a bite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The morning rain was heavier than last night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A'nuo pushed the wheelchair, pressed the mechanism, and a protective shield opened, blocking the rain outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pei Chuyun looked sideways, A'nuo apologized with a smile: \"Sister A'luo, coming in to hide from the rain?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pei Chuyun didn't answer for a while, then heard A'nuo continue: \"Anyway, no one believes you're acting innocent.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pei Chuyun moved two steps expressionlessly and hid into the protective shield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But we are really innocent, why don't you believe it...... I even forgot to pluck the hair, I lost so much......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xingzhou coughed twice: \"Since we are traveling to the capital together, we need to decide on a form of address; we'll all call you A'luo. Do you need to disguise yourself?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pei Chuyun said: \"Not many people have seen my true face, so disguising doesn't make much sense.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xingzhou nodded: \"That's what I meant. If you enter the Pei mansion with me, your true face might have unexpected uses; disguising doesn't have this effect. However, your true face is really too beautiful; you can adjust it slightly, don't be so eye-catching. Otherwise, there are too many dandies in the capital who ride horses and fight chickens; being too beautiful will cause trouble.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pei Chuyun followed the advice and took out makeup materials, saying while applying: \"Then what should I call you? Mr. Lu?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xingzhou said: \"Young Master.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pei Chuyun squinted over, do you really take me as a maid?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, everyone knew it well; the most suitable identity was a maid, and Lu Xingzhou didn't say it directly to save her some face. Pei Chuyun knew it in her heart, sighed lifelessly: \"Fine, I know.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xingzhou couldn't help laughing at her little look: \"Don't be like this when the time comes, it won't be good if you blow your cover.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can act very well.\" Pei Chuyun replied angrily, and then felt a little guilty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She thought she could act, but she had never deceived this master and disciple; she didn't know how their eyes grew: \"Um...... when I acted in front of you before, besides the shoes revealing the secret, were there any other problems?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The acting was fine, it's just that the timing was so abrupt, making people vigilant...... You were eager for success, naturally there were problems.\" Lu Xingzhou said leisurely: \"So don't hold the Buddha's feet temporarily; if you want to act, act all the way there, habit becomes nature, and then no one will see the problem.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pei Chuyun said angrily: \"I think you're just deliberately taking advantage of me, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What other advantage is there for me to take of you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pei Chuyun clenched her fist to beat him, but they had already reached the city gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The city gate guards stared at the three of them, and Pei Chuyun's fist on Lu Xingzhou's shoulder had become a kneading: \"Young Master, it's cold today, are you wearing too little? Do you want to add clothes?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xingzhou grabbed the maid's little hand: \"It's enough to have A'luo to warm me up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The little maid seemed afraid of being laughed at, her face red as she withdrew her hand, and the shy look made the city gate guards stare without blinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A'nuo sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Master's trip to the capital, I thought he was a lonely scholar, look at what he has become now......\u003C\u002Fp>",1981,"2026-06-18T01:46:09.112Z","2026-06-18T03:18:02.290Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","4a9044d49dc0684e1eafec4ae6ecd7f9d1edaa2d42a99085038a9a71038dbcca","the-grain-of-mountains-and-rivers-chapter-99","the-grain-of-mountains-and-rivers-chapter-97",325,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmountains-and-rivers-of-the-imperial-granary-cover.jpg"]
