Chapter 256: Chapter 203: Mu Lin: Hold me! (First update)_1

"I am going with you tonight."

Upon hearing Mu Lin’s words, everyone said that if they could choose, they too wanted to go along.

It’s not every day you encounter a freak; what a pity, Mu Lin has already spoken... There’s no more drama to watch.

The main reason isn’t anything else, but the fact that they were too many in their group. If all of them went, it would be too eye-catching. And if only some could go, it wouldn’t be fair to the others. So...; besides, Jing Chen is also there! They certainly didn’t have the guts to go together.

Jing Youlan proposed that in this world, the only one who could tame his older brother, apart from Mu Lin, was no one else.

The others were leaving one after another. Mu Lin looked at the two, "Let’s go." The two nodded, but their eyes involuntarily drifted towards Jing Chen.

Mu Lin turned back, reminding, "I think your army must be quite busy, you should get going." This man had stuck around all day! But Jing Chen just shook his head placidly, "I’ll go with you guys." It wasn’t easy to see her, leaving too early would be a loss (actually, it was already very late).

Hearing this, the two people at the side looked at each other and started to smile subtly.

Going with them was just a pretext; wanting to follow Mu Lin was the real reason; Jing was indeed very fond of Mu Lin.

However, looking at Jing Chen, Mu Lin only furrowed her eyebrows lightly, "As I recall, your leave should be over." A major, following them, a bunch of green soldiers, what would it look like?

Without even realizing it, Mu Lin began thinking of herself as one the members of the new recruit camp and got increasingly used to the various ways of interacting with Jing Chen.

"If you want, I can apply for leave again so I can spend time with you" It was a simple thing to say; complete nonsense, Mu Lin thought, as if she would ever want to; The other two laughed.

Where did he learn to court wives like this? Real pestering! The other two believed, it was unlike Jing.

They remembered clearly, once Jing was focused on his mission, sentiments like love... weren’t even on his radar.

However, in front of his wife-to-be, those useless titles and stories meant absolutely nothing to Jing Chen.

His wife-to-be was what mattered most.

I wonder if the highest leadership of the Military Zone, upon hearing Jing Chen’s heartfelt words, would be so overwhelmed as to stop approving his leave, in tears of frustration.

Looking at the man in front of her, brimming with resolve, Mu Lin found that what most often surfaced in her mind was a sense of helplessness. He was even harder to cater to than their Qiaozi at home.

"Whatever you want." Mu Lin didn’t bother arguing with him.

Follow along, if that was what he wanted, maybe he could even be of some help.

...

They returned to the vicinity of the inn.

Mu Lin looked at Yue Qiao and said:" I’ll go in first, you guys can stroll around nearby before coming in, so as not to raise suspicions."

"Okay." Yue Qiao nodded. She was just about to ask that, but as soon as the thought came to mind, Mu Lin already said it; of course, Mu Lin couldn’t have overlooked such a detail. She nodded at Jing Chen, and the two of them turned around and walked away, their silhouettes harmoniously complementing each other.

Mu Lin turned around, looking at the red lights twinkling in the distance.

Throughout their journey, Mu Lin realized, these inns all liked to use red lettering; could it be because... red represents the color of blood and is more eye-catching?

Everyone: You’re overthinking it, not everyone shares your heavy taste! It’s actually a habit, red represents festivity, as well as warding off evil spirits and attracting wealth.

Mu Lin: In reality, I have a very light taste, honestly.

...

Not thinking anymore, Mu Lin turned her body towards Jing Chen and suddenly said: "Hold me."

Jing Chen was taken aback for a moment. The next moment, without any hesitation, he pulled Mu Lin closer; Mu Lin was frustrated, "Not this kind of hug." She was almost strangled by him as he held her.

Mu Lin was speechless and helpless.

Hearing Mu Lin’s words, Jing Chen laughed. In fact, he did it on purpose.

He let go of Mu Lin and casually picked her up in a bridal carry.

Her feet suddenly lifted from the ground, Mu Lin instinctively tightened her grip around Jing Chen’s neck, was taken aback for a moment, and then slowly leaned on his chest, fitting perfectly, "I..." Before Mu Lin could finish explaining, she heard Jing Chen’s voice in her ear, "I know."
