The first time he came to Chu Zhu Yu's room, he hugged her and went to sleep.

The second time he came to her room, he also promptly went to sleep.

He slept in the third and fourth visit. Even today, he only hugged her, and then went to sleep.

He slept till Chu Zhu Yu’s body got numb. This person only hugged her to sleep, he never did anything weird to her.

Because of that, she ended up pitying him.

Hearing the story that he broke his hand just so he could sleep, she now sympathized with him.

The basic act that ordinary people can do, he can hardly do it, and now that he can, he needed a complicated way to do it.

He just broke a very capable hand back then, didn’t it hurt?

If such a simple thing such as hugging her can make him sleep, then why should she continue to be so stubborn about it?

Of course, she should have a guarantee that he wouldn't acupuncture her, since being frozen made her feel very uncomfortable.

Accepting her fate, Chu Zhu Yu didn’t refuse him anymore.

So she asked, “Jue Qing, are your parents still alive?”

“No.”

“Any siblings?"

(elder/younger-brother/sister)

“No, I have none. I only have my Shi Fu, does he count as family?”

(E/R: Shi Fu = teacher/master)

Huh? Is he an orphan?

“Have you ever thought of being someone else's son-in-law and taking up your wife's surname?”

He replied, “I have never thought of getting married.”

“…”

Chu Zhu Yu was speechless, she couldn't even recruit the 'closest' man to her.

If there's an opportunity to make a baby, it's a good thing. He's a good-looking man, so the child must be beautiful too.

Without realizing, she already thought of the appearance of the baby, and at same time, she also thought about the possibility of being impregnated by him.

Compared to the general who is rumoured to be cruel, ferocious, and brutal enough to break someone's bones, he is the safest and the best candidate.

But unfortunately, everyday after waking up, he always goes out of her room, and every night, he would always wear clothes when hugging her to sleep.

Even when his head is sometimes positioned on top of her breasts, and he sleeps so close to her that he can even smell her tea scent, there are no other intimate acts.

To make things short, from the start until now, Chu Zhu Yu is still a virgin.

And when she acted like a prostitute, blinking and winking her eyes, he was only confused and dumbfounded.

“Zhu Yu, are your eyes itchy?”

“…..”

Please, she was trying to seduce you, couldn’t you tell?

From that moment on, Chu Zhu Yu gave up. Now she's only thinking about how to heal Jue Qing’s insomnia so that she could get her freedom earlier.

When Chu Zhu Yu lazily opened her eyes, the sun's rays had already penetrated her window.

The sun slowly rises to the sky, and as a maid, she should wake up early. She tries to get up, however...

A lean arm was hooked against her waist like a metal hoop, it didn’t want to let her go. Chu Zhu Yu sighed heavily, she outstretched her arms from the blanket and intended to remove that arm.

She pushed!

The arm didn’t move.

She pushed again!

The arm was still glued to her waist.

Chu Zhu Yu pushed until her face went red. Both of her hands grabbed his arm, but…

“What’s going on?” a soft and husky voice rang and spoke close to her ear.

Once she released her hands, she turned her head to the side and saw a beautiful face in front of her.

Xiao Zhi Zhi was still lying at one side of the bed. His black hair was ruffled because he moved a lot while sleeping. His clothes were slightly open, exposing his bare, seductive chest.

His lazy facial features, pale lips, and his drowsy, misty looks made Chu Zhu Yu's blood rise to her head, so she quickly turned away.

This man was born to destroy women.

Her ears turned red and she grabbed a pillow to press onto his face,

“It’s already morning, wake up!”

“Can’t I sleep for a while?” he lifted his head while asking her.

Xiao Zhi Zhi stroked his nose and finally removed his hand from her waist, “Zhu Yu, you really are different from other women.”

“Where's the next line, will you say that hugging me feels extremely soft?” she rolled her eyes, “You've already said this sentence so many times, you don’t have to remind me about how fat I am.”

“You're not fat.” he said seriously.

“Then why do you often say that I'm so soft?”

“I don’t like thin women.” He thought for a while, “I like someone like you. Women with more meat feels more comfortable to hug.”

“…..” That's no different to saying she's fat.

Chu Zhu Yu felt lazy to think about this topic any longer, she moved her body and tidied her bed, while Xiao Zhi Zhi was walking towards the only mirror in the room, taking a comb and combing his hair.

After Chu Zhu Yu finished tidying her bed, she went out to wash her face, and when she got back to the room, he was still “fighting” his hair.

“HAHAHA!” she laughed hard, “There's no one who combs their hair like you!” he looked so clumsy when combing his hair.

When Xiao Zhi Zhi looked at Chu Zhu Yu, he naturally gave the comb to her.

“Comb my hair.” These three words were very simple and explicitly described his intention.

She rolled her eyes, “Are you really an imperial guard? Why can’t you even comb your own hair?”

“Who's an imperial guard?” he asked her back.

“You're always wearing black everyday, aren’t you an imperial guard? Or maybe you're a monk?” But she had never seen a monk sleeping while hugging women.

Xiao Zhi Zhi didn’t say anything, he continued sitting in front of the mirror, waiting for Chu Zhu Yu to comb his hair.

With a single hand, she held the comb, and her other hand held his hair.

Her palm touched his hair, and it was indeed softer than what she'd expected. She never expected a man to have soft, silky, and smooth hair.

She slowly and carefully combed his messy hair until his black hair was neatly combed.

“Oh, yesterday when you came in, did you put a hair pin on your hair?” Chu Zhu Yu asked.

“I don’t know. It might have fallen somewhere near the bed.” Xiao Zhi Zhi replied.

Chu Zhu Yu searched near her bed for while. Finally, she found his jade hair pin lying under the bed. The jade hair pin had a very simple design.

Since when did an imperial guard own a hair pin made from jade?

(E/R: Jade was very expensive in their time.)

As she thought to herself, Chu Zhu Yu placed the jade hair pin in Xiao Zhi Zhi’s hair.

The jade hair pin's color was in contrast with his long black hair, enhancing his beauty.

When he woke up, he looked lazy and messy, but now after his hair was combed, he became an absolutely beautiful man.

*cough*

She used the term, ‘absolutely beautiful man’ to describe an imperial guard, she must have lost her mind!

Chu Zhu Yu quickly finished combing his hair and glanced at him, who in turn gave an odd look to her as if he was waiting for something.

“What's the matter?”

In other words, why are you still here?

“I want to wash my face and rinse my mouth.” His eyes glanced to the side where the washing water was.

Chu Zhu Yu wanted to shout at the sky! Did she come to the general's residence to serve an imperial guard?
