After succeeding as the Fox Queen, Yun Wuzhen was busy until the end of winter before he could rest.
After finishing the day's chores, Yun Wuzhen leaned against the sofa and had his shoulders rubbed by others. He muttered and complained to Hu Yi: "I haven't gone out to play for a long time. It's still as good as before. I can go around and have fun.
In front of the boss, you can go wherever you want. It's not like now, being locked up in the palace and working every day."
Facing Yun Wuzhen, who was still like a child in private, Hu Yi could only coax him: "Everything has been sorted out now, and I won't be so busy in the future. If Your Highness wants to go out and relax for a while, that's fine."
Seeing that his goal was achieved, Yun Wuzhen became happy again: "Okay, you and Hu Er can pack up and accompany me to the northern border for a few days."
Hu Yi: "I'm afraid this is against the rules. Your current identity is the Fox King. If you leave Dongye for other places, you should formally submit a greeting card. After receiving the reply, arrange the guards, prepare gifts, and then go to the other side's border.
Wait for the other party to send someone to meet you at the border."
"..." Yun Wuzhen leaned back on his chair in disappointment. What fun would there be in that?
Hu Yi: "If you need it, I will send someone to prepare for you now."
Yun Wuzhen bowed his hand and said, "I won't go, it's too troublesome. In a few days, you can help me sort out the things at hand and free up for a month. I want to go to Jiyun Peak to relax."
"Yes." Hu Yi responded.
As soon as the fox left, a hint of cunning flashed in Yun Wuzhen's eyes, and the next day he asked the shopkeeper of Yuntian Pavilion to send out a secret letter. The envelope read: Personally signed by Zong Yao.
Yun Wuzhen: "Find someone you trust and deliver it to him personally."
A few days later, Zong Yao received an unsigned letter.
The envelope has a brocade-like touch, with dark patterns of flowing clouds printed on it, which appear silvery in the sunlight and emit a light fragrance as fresh as the clouds and mist in the mountains. This is the cloud paper specially made by the Yunhu tribe.
At the auction house, a piece of precious paper was sold for ten purple bone coins.
Among the people Zong Yao knew who would use such a luxurious envelope, except Yun Wuzhen, he didn't think so.
Zong Yao opened the envelope and found only one page. The handwriting was elegant and smooth, and he was handsome. It reminded him of the romantic and handsome young prince, Yun Wuzhen, who was now the King of Yunhu.
Zong Yao had not seen Yun Wuzhen for several months after the last farewell to Evernight Island, and the specious confession on the boat seemed to have become a beautiful hallucination for him. He originally wanted to ask clearly, but the situation in Dongye at that time
He was also anxious, he didn't want to force his feelings on the other person anymore.
Now that Yun Wuzhen took the initiative to come to him, this fact made Zong Yao's heart beat like a drum, and he was secretly excited. Because he squeezed the letter too hard, the letter paper became a little wrinkled, and he hurriedly smoothed it with his hands.
Zong Yao took a deep breath and calmed down to read the content on the letter. After reading this, he finally calmed down his heartbeat for a while, but it became chaotic again.
I saw it said:
"On a full moon night, we are waiting for you at the port of Yunlan City. See you there or not."
Waiting for me, why don't we see you later? Zong Yao chewed these words repeatedly, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously reached to his ears.
"Boss, what are you so happy about?" A crew member passed by and saw Zong Yao's silly smile and couldn't help but ask.
"Ahem." Zong Yao put the letter away and said, "Nothing. Well, have we received any delivery requests next month?"
"Yes, there is a customer from Southern Xia who wants to transport a ship of dried meat to the north. There is also..."
"Let's push it all away," Zong Yao said.
"Ah, pushed?" The crew member was stunned, and then rubbed his hands happily: "Have we received another big order?"
"No." Zong Yao couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth and said, "I have some personal matters to do."
"Oh, I said, boss, don't you think there is something wrong?" The crew member looked at Zong Yao's happy expression and immediately made a guess.
"Go, go, don't talk nonsense, get to work." Zong Yao denied it and waved his hand to drive them away.
"I'm still shy." The crew member shook his head and was about to leave.
"Wait a minute." Zong Yao stopped him again: "Well, if someone tells you, waiting for you, see you there or not, what does that mean?"
"What else can I say? I like you and want to date you." The crew member came up to Zong Yao and asked with a wink: "Sir, boss, what ethnic group is this girl? Is she pretty?"
"Beautiful, very beautiful..." Zong Yao's mind was full of the words "I like you", and he had no idea what he was talking about.
"The beast's shape is not good?"
"In animal form, he is a cloud fox."
"Yun...hu! Then why are you hesitating?" The crew member shouted excitedly: "That's Yunhu, boss!"
Only then did Zong Yao come back to his senses, blushing and shaking his head: "Don't yell, he is a male, and what he likes should be the kind of beautiful females. Not my type."
"You're not talking about the Fox King Yun Wuzhen, are you?" The crewman swallowed. He knew that his boss was interested in Yun Wuzhen before, but Yun Wuzhen has become the Fox King, and the two have not contacted each other for so long.
, he thought it was all over, but he didn't expect that the boss was quite infatuated.
Zong Yao: Is it so obvious?
Seeing that Zong Yao stopped talking, the crew members knew that they had guessed correctly, and encouraged Zong Yao with a smile: "This is an opportunity, boss! Seize it well."
"Do you... really think he likes me?" Zong Yao was still not confident. After all, the types of lovers he and Yun Wuzhen had found before were completely different.
The crew member himself was also a bachelor. How could he have guessed Yun Wuzhen's thoughts? Looking at Zong Yao's expectant eyes, he said bravely: "I must like you! Otherwise, he is the Cloud Fox King, why would he secretly date you like this?
See you there or not."
"That's right." After receiving the confirmation, Zong Yaoxin put a silly smile on his face again, and sailed towards Yunlan City with great expectations.
On the night of the full moon, Yun Wuzhen arrived as promised. He didn't bring any guards, so he wore dark guard clothes and sneaked onto Zong Yao's ship.
As soon as Yun Wuzhen saw Zong Yao, he bumped his arm affectionately with his shoulder, raised his head and said with a smile: "Mr. Captain, I was afraid you wouldn't come."
Zong Yao felt the warmth coming from his side, and his ears gradually turned red: "If you call me, of course I will come."
"Then what if I don't call you? Why don't you come to me?" Yun Wuzhen leaned casually on the railing, stretched his long legs forward casually, turned his face slightly, and his handsome features looked a bit beautiful in the night.
It's unreal, and the rough guard uniform can hardly cover up his grace.
Zong Yao felt his throat was a little dry, rolled his Adam's apple, and said, "I'm afraid of disturbing you."
Yun Wuzhen swung his tail behind him and said indifferently: "Let's sail the boat first, I managed to escape easily."
"Okay." Zong Yao Nuonuo responded, so dumbfounded that even the crew members were anxious for him. His own captain was not so dumb on weekdays. Why did his brain shut down when he met someone he liked?
Zong Yao raised the anchor before he remembered to ask Yun Wuzhen: "Where are you going?"
Yun Wuzhen curled up his lips and said casually: "Elope."
"Ah?" Zong Yao wasn't sure if he was hallucinating.
But before he could confirm, Yun Wuzhen had already changed his mind: "Let's go to the north. Calculating the time, Ao Wu and Hang Shiqi should be about the same. They have finished their winter hunting. Let's go find them."
"Okay." Zong Yao thought, he must have been hallucinating just now.
The ship left quietly under the cover of darkness.
Yun Wuzhen stood on the deck, feeling relaxed for a long time. He closed his eyes and stood facing the wind for a while, until Zong Yao came and called him: "It's cold at night, why don't you go to bed early."
Yun Wuzhen opened his eyes: "Mr. Captain, are you worried about me?"
Zong Yao looked away: "You are my guest, so naturally I care about you." His tone revealed a guilty conscience, as if he was afraid that Yun Wuzhen might misunderstand something.
"Guest..." Yun Wuzhen said in a drawl: "It turns out that Mr. Captain and I are not even friends."
"They are also friends." Zong Yao said, "They are very important friends."
Only then did Yun Wuzhen seem a little satisfied. His big tail suddenly waved in front of Zong Yao, and he hooked it back and forth: "My friend, do you want to touch the tail?"
Zong Yao didn't say a word, but he raised his hand involuntarily. He moved closer and closer to the snow-white fluffy mass. Then he made a sudden stop at the last second.
"Can you transform into an animal form first?"
Yun Wuzhen pretended to be stupid and said, "What? There is no difference between my human form and my animal form, and my tail."
"But you can't touch the humanoid tail." Zong Yao said with a red face.
Yun Wuzhen took a step closer, his breath blew on Zong Yao's chest, his voice was low and sultry: "If I agree, it doesn't count as random touching."
"That's not okay." Zong Yao stubbornly turned his head away, not looking at the fluffy temptation, and couldn't help but add another sentence: "Even if you are a male, you will suffer a loss if you let people touch your tail casually like this.
of."
"...Idiot." Yun Wuzhen cursed in a low voice, turned and left: "I'm going to sleep, Mr. Captain, please rest early."
Zong Yao didn't touch his tail, but was scolded instead. He touched his head aggrievedly, and asked belatedly: "Are you angry?"
"No." Yun Wuzhen said in a cold tone.
Zong Yao breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."
Yun Wuzhen:......
Yun Wu really felt like he was going to be pissed to death.
After that night, Yun Wuzhen never teased Zong Yao with ambiguous words again. The relationship between the two seemed to be that of a familiar captain and a ship passenger.
Because he was not in a hurry, the trip went slowly. Yun Wuzhen also had a playful nature. As soon as he left Dongye, he couldn't stay on the ship any longer. Every time he passed a city, he had to get off the ship to have a look.
Zong Yao also let him go. When he was not busy, he also liked to take the crew around like this.
However, Zong Yao stared at Yun Wuzhen's snow-white fluffy tail dangling in front of him every day. His heart was so itchy that he didn't dare to mention it again. He was afraid that Yun Wuzhen would touch his tail in human form again.
For once he wasn't sure he could hold it back.
Zong Yao's crew members seemed anxious for Zong Yao. The boss obviously liked Yun Wuzhen, but why did he not take the initiative at all when the people came: "Boss, the ship will arrive at Yuehua City tomorrow. If you don't chase me, I won't be able to catch him."
Just ran away."
"Forget it, he probably doesn't like me, so I better not force him." Zong Yao said with drooping eyebrows.
The crew had never seen Zong Yao look so downcast before: "No, boss, weren't you full of confidence a few days ago? Why do you think King Yunhu doesn't like you now?"
Zong Yao said sourly: "When he talks to me in the past few days, his tone is not as close as he is to you."
Crew member: "But he asked you on a date that day..."
Zong Yao: "He just wanted to call the boat."
Crew: "But who told the ship to use such an ambiguous tone?"
Zong Yao: "He knows how to do it. He is too simple and does not understand the dangers of the world. When he called for a boat, his tone was a bit ambiguous. It was probably unintentional."
The crew member thought, "Boss, you have never had a partner, so how can you have the confidence to say that others are innocent? Besides, the rumors of King Yunhu's romantic wanderings in his early years are known to all seven clans."
Zong Yao said firmly: "He is really very innocent. He even dares to let others touch his tail when he is in human form."
"Is there something wrong with this?" The crew member was startled: "Let people touch their tails casually? Isn't this too dissolute?"
"He's not dissolute!" Zong Yao missed the point and defended Yun Wuzhen: "He just doesn't understand."
Crew member: I don’t think you understand. How can a good boss turn into a fool when he falls in love?
"Wait a minute, boss, how do you know this?"
"Ahem, because he also asked me to touch him." Zong Yao said embarrassedly, and quickly emphasized: "But I refused."
"..." The crew member was desperate: "No wonder people ignore you."
Early the next morning, the ship docked at the port of Yuehua City, and Yun Wuzhen's trip was about to end.
Zong Yao had already thought about letting go when the boat arrived. But before leaving, he couldn't bear to leave: "That..."
Zong Yao was thinking hard about what excuse he could use to stay when he heard Yun Wuzhen take the initiative to invite: "If Mr. Captain is not busy, why don't you stay with me in Yuehua City for a few days?"
"Okay." Zong Yao was overjoyed.
Yun Wuzhen asked: "What did Mr. Captain want to say just now?"
"I want to say," Zong Yao said honestly, "Everyone has arrived at Yuehua City. Why don't I stay for a few days and visit Ao Wu and Hang Shiqi?"
"So we are so in tune with each other." Yun Wuzhen laughed when he heard the words. As the sun rose, the sky was filled with rays of light.
Zong Yao was dumbfounded.
"I said, aren't you tired like this?" Yun Wuzhen pinched Zong Yao's ear, pulled it to his lips, and said in a volume that only the two of them could hear: "You obviously like me and are reluctant to let me go, but you still want to go find me.
Excuse."
Zong Yao was so embarrassed that he was at a loss what to do when his thoughts were revealed in person, and his heartbeat was also erratic: "I..."
He opened his mouth to argue, and he felt that he should argue. After all, Yun Wuzhen didn't like him, and the feelings forced on him were a burden. Besides, the race and gender were wrong, so he didn't care, but Yun Wuzhen should still be the Fox King.
Wouldn't it be better to find a beautiful Yunhu girl... hmm?!
Zong Yao was stunned and caught off guard, a soft lip pressed against his. Yun Wuzhen hooked his collar with his hand. He was obviously half a head shorter than him, but his aura was exactly the same.
Zong Yao's mind fell into a brief blank. He never knew that the feeling of kissing the person he liked was more wonderful than touching the tail of a cloud fox.
At the moment when Yun Wuzhen was about to pull away, he subconsciously grabbed Yun Wuzhen's waist and kissed him back jerkily, but the force was very light. He was cautious for fear of hurting the other person, and he lingered for a long time, as if he was afraid that he would be hurt.
It's like letting go of a dream and waking up.
He thought he must be dreaming, otherwise how could Yun Wuzhen kiss him.
Yun Wuzhen listened to him accidentally spilling what was on his mind, and laughed and said, "You don't know that I like you too, right?"
"You like me?" Zong Yao blinked and pinched himself: "Hey, it's not a dream! You... really like me?"
"Idiot." Yun Wuzhen smiled and rubbed Zong Yao's arm with his tail: "Otherwise, do you think anyone can touch my tail?"
"I thought it was just politeness between friends." The fluffy tail swept over Zong Yao's strong arm, bringing the touch that Zong Yao dreamed of. He subconsciously grabbed a handful with his hand.
"Hey!" Yun Wuzhen snatched the tail back and glared at Zong Yao with red eyes: "Don't pull it!"
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm so happy." Zong Yao apologized hurriedly, and then asked: "But is the Yunhu's cry actually a squeak?"
He noticed this voice last time, it sounded like a coquettish voice, it sounded so nice.
Yun Wuzhen's face turned cold for a moment, but his ears turned red, and he lost his previous calmness: "No, you heard wrong!"
