Next Morning : Chapter 15
What Zhang Euni heard next was the clashing of two swords. She sat like a log, keeping her ears sharp, keenly observing every move of the swords. She knew the moves of one sword very clearly but another sword, she felt as if she knew it but couldn't figure it out. Suddenly she felt the unknown person walked past her dodging Zhiquiang's blow. The scent, it felt very familiar yet it was unknown. Though Euni was drunk, she didn't even make a noise. When she felt there was distance between the two warriors, she suddenly took her small blade and threw it in the direction of the unknown sword.
With a moment she heard a small whimper from Zhiquiang. The next moment everything went silent. There was no sound of swords clashing. Abruptly the candle glow as Zhiquiang used his fire talisman.
"Euni, are you okay? Did you got hurt anywhere?" Zhiquiang checking Euni cupping her face.
"I am okay," Euni replied. "Did my blade hurt you? Why did you whimper?"
"It didn't hurt me. Your blade wounded that man."
"Huh?!" Euni exclaimed, "You have a cut on your neck Lan er gege." Euni said still under the influence of alcohol.
Zhiquiang didn't notice the cut till then. The small cut formed on the side of his neck while dodging the sword of that unknown attacker. He put on long fingers on the cut and realized that he was slightly bleeding.
"Huh? Lan er gege" Euni moved close to Zhiquiang, "your neck is bleeding. Let me see." She tried to touch his wound.
"It's okay. I can take care of it." Zhiquiang tried to avoid her touch on his sensitive neck.
"Dumb Lan er gege!"
Euni roughly pushed his face aside exposing the wound on his neck. She gently touched his wound. Zhiquiang shivered as her cold fingertips touched his neck.
"Does it hurt a lot?" Euni asked worriedly, touching the wound with her fingertips.
"No," Zhiquiang replied.
Suddenly Euni moved forward to blow air by her mouth on the wound to make Zhiquiang feel warm.
"What are you doing?" Zhiquiang flinched a bit feeling her lips very close to his sensitive neck.
"Blowing. Cannot you understand it, idiot." Euni said angrily.
"You called me an idiot?"
"Mn." Euni nodded " what else should I call you? You are so grown up yet you cannot take care of yourself. You need a kid like me to take care of you."
Zhiquiang smiled at her cuteness. Suddenly he felt a pair of lips on his wound. He tried to move away but Euni held his nape.
"Shhh," Euni said looking into his eyes. "Don't move. I am trying to make the pain go away."
Euni then gently licked the wound tasting Zhiquiang's blood. Zhiquiang closed his eyes feeling the unknown warm feelings. He felt a quiver down his spine. His entire body became weak surrendering himself to her touch. Euni gently kissed the wound and looked at Zhiquiang.
"Does it still hurts, Lan er gege?" Euni asked.
This was when he came back to his senses. He looked at Euni with soft eyes. He was feeling something different, something new which he never felt before - a feeling of warmth and care.
"Lan er gege, does it hurt more?" Euni asked worriedly.
"No. It feels better." Zhiquiang smiled.
"That's good." Euni patted on Zhiquiang's chest.
She took out a transparent type turquoise portion.
"What's it?" Zhiquiang asked.
"It's a medicine made by me," Euni said patting herself. "It will completely recover your wound by tomorrow."
Euni took a small amount of medicine in her hand and gently messaged on Zhiquiang's neck.
"Mn." Euni moved back putting the medicine in her sleeves. "It's done."
"Thank you, princess." Zhiquiang smiled.
"Welcome." Euni yawned.
"It looks like you are sleepy. Wanna sleep?"
"Mn. I want to sleep."
Euni put her head on Zhiquiang's chest and adjusted herself feeling comfortable. Zhiquiang gently leaned on the headboard of the bed. He gently caressed her hair and softly implanted a kiss on her forehead.
"Good night, Queen," Zhiquiang said softly. "You are not my princess but my Queen. I hope you won't remember anything by tomorrow morning."
*next morning*
It was Zhiquiang who woke up first. It was 5 am and as usual, Zhiquiang woke up. He opened her eyes to see his sleeping beauty sleepy peacefully on his chest. A small curve of smile appeared on his face remembering last night's scenes. He gently caressed her soft hair. Euni stirred in her sleep. Sensing that Euni could wake up, Zhiquiang closed his eyes pretending to be asleep. Euni put her hands on his chest with her eyes closed. She started to roam her hands on his chest as if she was searching for something.
"Why my pillow is so hard? What happened to it?" Euni mumbled in her sleeping.
She slowly opened her eyes to check her 'pillow'. As she opened her eyes, she realized that she has been sleeping on Zhiquiang's chest.
"What the heck!" She jumped out of the bed moved a few centimeters away from the bed. "Why am I sleeping here?"
Suddenly she remembered last night's events. Her face turned bright pink upon remembering how she took care of Zhiquiang's wound.
"Damn it! I kissed him yesterday!!!!!?" She said touching her lips. "Why on the earth did I do that!? Zhang Euni, you are so doomed."
Zhiquiang moved a bit with his closed eyes.
"Oh no! He is waking up. What should I do? Better disappear before he wakes."
Saying so Euni ran out of the room. Zhiquiang opened his eyes. Thanks to his stoic face and the results of his meditation, that he could easily control his laughter.
"Crazy girl." Zhiquiang chuckled.
On the other hand, Euni decided to check on the other rooms. Her room was completely isolated from other rooms. Her room was situated in the rightmost corner while Lan Wangji's room was in left most corner on the 2nd floor of the inn. The other rooms were on the first floor. She first decided to check on juniors. So she went downstairs.
First, she went to a room and was about to knock the door, she heard Jingyi's voice.
"Zizhen, where are my morning kisses?"
"You won't get it for keeping me awake all night."
"Zizhen! Don't be ru..."
Suddenly his words stopped. Euni's eyes widened
"Damn it! They are kissing?!" Euni exclaimed and quickly moved to another room.
"Jin Ling, can I come in?" Euni asked softly.
"Mn."
Euni heard a mumbling voice. She mistook Jin Ling's moan as the permission to enter. She slowly opened the door without making a sound. But what she saw next, made her dumbfounded.
Jin Ling and Sizhui were sitting on the bed while Sizhui was sucking on the former's shoulder blade making him throw his head backward.
Euni quickly closed the door and ran upstairs. She didn't dare to check Jiang Cheng's room after witnessing such strange situations in the early morning. She then thought of returning to her room but later she changed her mind to meeting with her Wei gege. She went to their room. She took a deep breath before knocking the door. Before she could knock the door, Wei Wuxian's voice was heard evidently.
"Ah...Lan Zhan...its hurts. Be gentle. Aaah..."
"Bear with it."
Euni froze in her place. Her eyes widened. She couldn't understand why her day started so crazily. She quickly covered her face with her palms and ran towards her room. Suddenly she bumped into something. She removed her hands to see Zhiquiang standing in from on the door of her room.
"Zhi...Zhiquiang?!" Euni explained.
"Where did you go early in the morning?" Zhiquiang asked keeping a stoic face.
"I..." Euni pushed him and entered the room. "I went to check on others."
"Are they awake?" Zhiquiang closed the door and came towards Euni to sit beside her.
"Well...they...Hm..." Euni turned pink.
Zhiquiang understood what was going on. So he changed the topic.
"Do you remember any event of last night?" Zhiquiang asked.
"Ah..." Euni got up from her bed. "I really didn't mean to. I am sorry. I really dint mean to...do that...I mean to kiss you. I am really sorry. I didn't know what got into me and I... I am sorry. Please don't hate me." She said kneeling before Zhiquiang, hanging her head down.
Zhiquiang smiled at her actions.
"Do you remember anything else?"
"Well, I remember that attack from last night. Do you know who attacked us?" Euni asked.
"I don't know. Well, do you remember anything else?"
"I don't," Euni said scratching her head.
"So she doesn't remember that I called her princess. Good." Zhiquiang mumbled.
"Are you saying something Zhiquiang?"
"No."
"Zhiquiang, I think we should inform Wei gege about yesterday's attack and the attack in the library pavilion."
"Are you sure?"
"Mn."
"Well, then let's go to Senior Wei's room." Zhiquiang stood up from the bed.
"Wait." Euni held his hand. "Can we go later?"
"Why?"
"Well, they...umm...they are doing something I guess."
"What are they doing?"
"Zhiquiang! Cannot you understand!?"
"Understand what?"
"They...they are doing something which we kids shouldn't know," Euni said hesitatingly
"I am 18. So I don't think I am a kid. It's you who is a kid, Euni."
"Zhiquiang." Euni pleaded. "I think they are doing something...what should I say now."
"Let's check what they are doing" saying so Zhiquiang stepped out of their room.
"Zhiquiang! Wait." Euni followed him.
"Hanguang-Jun, can I come in?" Zhiquiang asked.
"Come in 2nd Lan Zhan." Wei Wuxian replied.
Zhiquiang gently opened the door and entered it.
"Where is A'Ni?" Wei Wuxian asked.
Zhiquiang looked behind. Euni peeped into the room to find Wei Wuxian sitting on the floor and Wangji sitting on the bed combing Wei Wuxian's hair.
"A'Ni, come here...Ah! Lan Zhan! Can you please be gentle?" Wei Wuxian screamed.
"Who asked you to keep your hair messy?" Hanguang-Jun said gently combing his husband's hair.
"Wei gege, when did you wake up?" Euni asked slowly expecting a good answer.
"I thought of sleeping until 9 am. But this Hanguang-Jun woke me up at 4:45 am saying that we should get ready by the time juniors wake up." Wei Wuxian complained.
"Then, was Hanguang-Jun combing your hair since 5 am?" Euni asked.
"Of course. He is combin...Aaah!!! Lan Zhaan!!! Are you planning to take out my entire hair out along with the knots?!"
"Your hair has so many knots," Hanguang-Jun said gently.
Euni took a deep breath and exhaled feeling relaxed. Then it meant when she came to check on Wei Wuxian, they weren't doing something. Instead, Hanguang-Jun was combing Wei Wuxian's hair. A nervous Euni returned to herself.
"A'Ni, did you tie your hair after waking up?" Wei Wuxian asked.
"Yes. Does it look bad? I tried to make braid with my side hair and then tie it to ponytail." Euni replied.
"A'Ni, I think you should learn how to make braids from Jiang Cheng. He always makes braid on his side hair before trying his hair."
"But Wei gege, what should I do now?"
"Call Jiang Cheng and tell him to tie your hair."
"Huh!? No! I mean...I cannot order Clan Leader Jiang like that." Euni said worriedly.
"Are you talking about me?" Jiang Cheng entered the room.
"Clan leader Jiang?" Euni and Zhiquiang bowed to him.
"So, am I an important topic right now?" Jiang Cheng asked.
"Good that you came Jiang Cheng. I was talking about you. Euni wants to learn how to make braided hair like you."
"Well, I can..." Euni hesitated.
"A'Ni, why are you hesitating?" Jiang Cheng smiled. "You are my meimei. So I can tie your hair."
"Clan leader Jiang..."
"Its Wanyin gege, A'Ni. Call me Wanyin gege." Jiang Cheng smiled.
"Can Wanyin gege teach me how to make braided hair?" Euni smiled.
"Sure A'Ni. Sit here first."
Euni smiled and sat on the floor. Jiang Cheng sat on a small seat. He untied her hair and combed it. He gently made braids on her hair and left her remaining hair loose.
"A'Ni, do you want to leave your hair loose?"
"Wanyin gege, can you tie it, please? I cannot manage loose hair."
Jiang Cheng smiled. He gently combed her hair and made a beautiful braid. Zhiquiang was watching carefully learning how to make that hairdo.
"It's done." Jiang Cheng stood up. "Look at the mirror."
Euni got up and went to the mirror.
(Euni's hairstyle)
"Wow! Wanyin gege, it's so beautiful! It's so wonderful." Euni jumped like a kid. "Wei gege, look. How do I look?"
"You look beautiful like a princess." Wei Wuxian smiled.
"Thank you Wanyin gege for the hairstyle." Euni smiled.
"Well, you guys talk. I have to go to my room." Jiang Cheng said and left the room.
After Jiang Cheng left the room, Euni looked at Zhiquiang as if she was a king for permission. Zhiquiang nodded. Wei Wuxian saw this.
"Ahm ahm." Wei Ying coughed. "What's going on?"
Euni ignored the question and looked at Hanguang-Jun.
"Hanguang-Jun did any attack happened yesterday?" Euni asked.
"Huh? It means you were attacked too?" Wei Wuxian stood up as his hairdo was done.
"It means someone attacked both of us," Zhiquiang said looking at Hanguang-Jun.
