Chapter 98 – Dream
Jiangbei's campsite.
The soughing night wind brought along the late autumn's coldness across the tents. Instead of lifting the heavy curtain, the flame in the copper basin swayed incessantly with flickering shadows like the frenzied dancing black crows. The two people in the tent, whose ardent affection for each other, were not disturbed by it at all.
"Jinglan, when can we return to the King mansion?"
Chu Jinglan's line of sight shifted from the troops placement map to Ye Huaiyang and saw her lying prone reading a book on the bed with her calves raised up, exactly similar to when she was initially in the attic of King Lan mansion. The corners of his eyes suddenly crinkled up with subtle delight.
"Why? Homesick?"
"Missing Lan-lan." Her clear voice revealed a little melancholy that her mood changed dramatically too, "Not knowing how it is doing in other people's home, whether it eats and sleeps well."
"Didn't you specifically brief Huaixin to settle it well? Are you still not confident with his work?"
Ye Huaiyang pursed her lips and said, "I'm confident but now that it's the chaos of war, who knows if that family can take good care of it ..."
Chu Jinglan stared at her for a long time then stretched his hand out towards her all of a sudden, "Come here."
"Why?" Ye Huaiyang asked but she still got up swiftly and was pulled into his arms as soon as she reached the table. A pair of strong arms were then placed horizontally on the table by her sides, forming a narrow circle which confined her within. Looking at his overbearing and deep charming eyes, she was instantly tickled.
Isn't this the scene in the storybook?
Watching her unceasing mirth, Chu Jinglan raised his dashing eyebrows slightly and asked menacingly, "What are you laughing at?"
"Laughing at the fact that you look like the hero in the storybook." Ye Huaiyang laughed merrily when the conversation turned jestful, "Just a little older."
Once the words faltered, a finger unexpectedly poked her waist which tickled her that she shrieked and tried to dodge yet Chu Jinglan tightened his arms so that she could not move. She flailed around a few times but it was useless. She could only endure this annoying finger stiffly, crying and laughing until she was out of breath.
"You are the one who chased me unwaveringly in the first place and now the one who criticizes that I am old are you too." Chu Jinglan leaned forward to press her down even more while his finger poked her even harder, "Why don't I help you pick another then?"
With tears spilling out, Ye Huaiyang was too tired to struggle as she gaspingly said, "No, no, no ... I was born to be yours and will die as your ghost. I don't want anyone else!"
"Really?" Chu Jinglan asked with narrowed eyes.
"Really, really!" Ye Huaiyang nodded her head like pounding the garlic, lest his devil's claws would reach over again, "I will follow you even if you ascend the arduous blue sky or plunge in the Yellow Springs while Heaven and earth will be my witness!"

Chu Jinglan curled his lips up pleasingly. He was just about to kiss those gaspingly breathing red lips when his heart suddenly felt a stab of pain that substantially spread out like millions of ants gnawing his heart. His body swayed and fell uncontrollably to the side yet he still thought about Ye Huaiyang who was sitting on his lap. He wanted to reach out and push her but who knew the spot his fingers aimed became an empty double vision, leaving only a human form that terrified him to the extreme that he called out unexpectedly.
