Koi Fubao: Being loved by everyone on the road to escape from famine

Chapter 215 Unable to extricate myself

Seeing that Xiao Zhixue did not push him away immediately, Fan Yanmu couldn't help but deepen the kiss.

Xiao Zhixue was confused by this sudden intimate action. She suddenly realized that their behavior was inappropriate and struggled hard.

"Fan Yanmu, let me go! We are on the street!"

She was breathing rapidly, and despite her resistance in her heart, she found that she could not push away Fan Yanmu's strong embrace.

"You mean, I can kiss you like this as long as we're not on the street?"

A playful smile appeared on Fan Yanmu's lips, and his warm breath gently brushed Xiao Zhixue's face as he spoke, making her feel numb. She hurriedly turned her head away, not daring to look him in the eye, for fear that she would sink into this gentle whirlpool and be unable to extricate herself.

Fan Yanmu gazed at the beauty in his arms. Her delicate skin seemed to be dyed the blush of peach blossoms by his kiss, and a touch of tenderness arose from the bottom of his heart.

He slowly lifted her chin, his movements gentle but firm, as if he was treating a rare treasure, and once again pressed his lips tightly against her warm, soft lips.

An electric-like throbbing instantly ran through Xiao Zhixue's whole body. Her heart beat like a drum and trembled constantly. Her mind was blank, as if the whole world had stopped. She forgot that she was in a bustling street and forgot all the noise around her.

At this moment, only each other's breathing intertwined, and time seemed to freeze.

Passersby looked at them with surprise or envy. The handsome man and beautiful woman's passionate kiss on the street was like a moving picture that people could not bear to disturb.

Some people glanced sideways quietly, quickened their pace, and left in a hurry with a hint of shyness and blessings, unwilling to break this beauty.

It was unknown how long it had been before Fan Yanmu reluctantly left the lips that had intoxicated him, leaving behind a trace of regret.

The blush on Xiao Zhixue's cheeks spread all the way to her neck. She pushed Fan Yanmu away abruptly, and gently touched her lips with her fingers, which still retained his body temperature. Her shyness was beyond words, and her eyes flashed with both shame and annoyance.

"Fan Yanmu, you bad guy!"

She scolded in a coquettish tone, but there was a hint of sweetness in her voice. She wanted to escape from this blushing and heart-pounding scene.

However, fate did not seem to let this go easily. Just as she turned around to escape, her foot slipped and the slippery ice surface almost made her fall.

This scene happened so suddenly that it was terrifying.

"careful!"

Fan Yanmu reacted quickly, stretching out his arms almost reflexively, and quickly held her in his arms, avoiding embarrassment.

Xiao Zhixue's heart was beating like a drum. After she stood firm, she was so shy that she almost buried her head in her chest.

Fortunately, he managed to resolve the embarrassing situation that almost happened just now. He felt both grateful and embarrassed.

At this moment, she no longer walked around aimlessly, but became unusually quiet, as if she was shocked by the series of events just now, or immersed in the warmth given by Fan Yanmu.

Fan Yanmu gently took her hand, his tone carrying a hint of tenderness and a force that could not be refused: "Let's go, we still have to buy the ingredients for making Yuanxiao."

His words seemed to be a sedative, bringing Xiao Zhixue back to her senses from her panic and reminding her of the purpose of this trip. She followed him obediently, taking every step very carefully on the snow.

Seeing that she did not resist, Fan Yanmu clasped his fingers together and held her hand tightly with just the right amount of strength, conveying power while retaining tenderness.

"I'm here and I won't let you fall."

This sentence was like a magic spell, giving Xiao Zhixue an inexplicable sense of security, as if as long as he was by her side, any difficulties could be easily solved.

They went into the dried fruit shop and carefully selected nuts and candies.

Knowing that Xiao Zhixue preferred sweet Yuanxiao, Fan Yanmu specially bought some more sugar.

I remembered that my family loved the taste of minced meat, so I bought a lot of extra fresh meat from the butcher shop.

Xiao Zhixue stored all the purchased items into her mysterious space, a secret known only to a few people.

When Fan Yanmu saw this scene, there was no surprise on his face, because he already knew that she possessed the magical ability jokingly called the "cornucopia".

Xiao Zhixue secretly felt fortunate that she had chosen to confess the secret of the "cornucopia" to Fan Yanmu, which allowed her to establish a deeper trust between the two of them and there was no need to hide anything anymore.

After finishing shopping, the two walked side by side back to the old house.

The footprints on the snow record their warmth and tacit understanding at the moment.

However, the journey home was not smooth.

The silence was broken by the sound of hurried horse hooves. A horse came galloping and suddenly stopped in front of Fan Yanmu.

The rider recognized Fan Yanmu, and after a moment of stunned silence, he quickly dismounted, knelt on one knee, clasped his hands and bowed, with a stern expression: "Sir, the Marquis has sent an urgent message. The southwest border is in danger. I implore you to return as soon as possible to deal with it!"

This sudden news was like a bucket of cold water, extinguishing the warmth between the two and making Xiao Zhixue's mood turn from sunny to cloudy in an instant.

I originally thought that we could spend a few days of peaceful time together, but I didn't expect that the time of separation would come so early.

Fan Yanmu's expression became solemn, and he responded briefly: "I understand, I will definitely return within the next few days."

The man looked up and noticed the woman next to Fan Yanmu. Looking at their clasped hands, his mind suddenly became clear. It turned out that the prince postponed his return because of this beautiful woman.

But the situation on the border does not allow any delay, and the successive battles with Dong Chu have already caused heavy losses to our side.

The emperor has been slow to send reinforcements. If no action is taken, the southwestern border will be in danger of falling.

"Prince, please put the interests of the country first and return to the southwest as soon as possible!"

Under tremendous pressure, the man mustered up the courage to speak again, his words revealing a sense of urgency that could not be ignored.

Fan Yanmu originally planned to return to the southwest after the Lantern Festival, but he never expected the situation to become so urgent. His wish to spend the holiday with Xiao Zhixue seemed to be in vain.

Facing the man kneeling on the ground, Fan Yanmu's patience gradually ran out, and his tone revealed impatience: "I said, I know, you can leave!"

His voice was mixed with irritation and helplessness.

"But the prince..."

"That's enough, stop talking and get out of my sight immediately!"

Fan Yanmu's order could not be rebutted. The man dared not say anything more. He hurriedly mounted his horse and galloped away along the way he came.

Feeling Fan Yanmu's nervousness and uneasiness, Xiao Zhixue squeezed his hand tightly, trying to give him strength and comfort: "I think you should return to the southwest as soon as possible. You are needed there."

Her words were full of understanding and support.

Fan Yanmu turned to look at Xiao Zhixue, his eyes full of mixed emotions: "Are you going to chase me away?"

Xiao Zhixue hurriedly shook her head and explained anxiously: "No, it's not like that. As the prince, you shoulder the heavy responsibility of the country and must put the overall situation first. If you don't go back, you may be accused of being a sinner who only cares about personal feelings and ignores the safety of the people in the future."
