Chapter 291: Gu Fengchen and Yao Ye’s Extra (I)

PS:

This is a certain night, which may not be consistent with the timeline of the novel.

Gu Fengchen looked at the devastated Mo City and the Snakemen army and the Izumo Empire army that were still approaching in large numbers. It was impossible for him to not be nervous.

Although he has lived two lives as a human, Gu Fengchen had never experienced such a brutal battle in his previous life.

He smelled the blood in the air and felt numb all over, not knowing what would happen tomorrow.

But this is war, a cruel war, a war without any humanity.

For everyone, no one knows what will happen tomorrow, and no one has any expectations for tomorrow.

In this very awkward atmosphere, Lu Zefei sighed and returned to the room where Yao Ye was also.

In the past, the two of them would often discuss what to do next here.

Today, Yao Ye did not have the princess airs she had before, but instead seemed very approachable.

"You should take a rest. You look very tired." Yao Ye looked at Gu Fengchen with concern.

Gu Fengchen waved his hand and said, "I just came to check on you. I'm glad you're okay. I'll go out and see if the soldiers are dozing off."

Having said that, Gu Fengchen prepared to leave the room.

But in the next moment, Yao Ye suddenly walked to Gu Fengchen's side and said he would help Gu Fengchen take off his shoes.

Gu Fengchen thought about it and took off his shoes. Yao Ye immediately took out a pair of more comfortable cotton shoes and placed them next to Gu Fengchen.

Then, Princess Yaoye said, "I have put water in the tub, take a bath."

Gu Fengchen originally wanted to refuse, but he felt that this was Yao Ye's good intention and he couldn't lose her face. Besides, she was the eldest princess after all, and he seemed to be her subordinate.

After thinking about it, Gu Fengchen nodded.

Gu Fengchen came to the bathroom.

It is called a bathroom, but in fact there is only a wooden tub for bathing and a mirror in it.

After all, it is wartime, and we certainly can't have too high standards.

Gu Fengchen looked at himself in the mirror. Gu Fengchen in the mirror had a tired and haggard face, and his eyes were full of bloodshot.

Gu Fengchen was frightened by the appearance of being neither human nor ghost.

During these days of war, Gu Fengchen basically didn't get a good night's sleep. The protracted war made Gu Fengchen exhausted both physically and mentally.

He couldn't even sense the passage of time.

Even the Dou Huang needs to rest.

Gu Fengchen washed his face, and then soaked comfortably in the wooden tub for almost half an hour.

This can help to wash away some of the fatigue from the day.

Gu Fengchen came out wearing a towel.

When he came out, he found Yao Ye was still awake, just sitting at the head of the bed reading a book.

The two looked at each other, and the atmosphere became a little awkward for a moment.

Originally, Gu Fengchen should have gone to his room to wash up, but today, for some reason, he actually wanted to stay here.

Yao Ye seemed to feel a little embarrassed and turned off the lights in the room.

Gu Fengchen got on the bed and leaned against the headboard.

He could feel Yao Ye beside him trembling slightly.

In the eyes of others, no matter how strong the princess is, she will still be afraid when she is alone.

After all, this is a real war, a war where people can die at any time.

After sitting quietly for a while, Gu Fengchen crawled back into the quilt.

He didn't intend to do anything to Yaoye. It was wartime now and he couldn't make any mistakes.

Everything was quiet and the night was cool as water.

Time passed slowly in the quiet night. Just when Gu Fengchen felt he was about to fall asleep, Princess Yaoye suddenly came over.
