Our Binding Love: My Gentle Tyrant Chapter 99 - Stay Behind, Let's Sleep Together (2)

It was snowing heavily today, so Ye Mu and Mo Linyuan had stayed inside the palace walls. It was night and the candles flickered as Ye Mu had just finished telling an old story, borrowed arrows from her past world**.

*T/N: This is the story of Zhuge Liang's borrowed arrows, of which you can read . (It's also only a short story!)

After she finished speaking, she asked in a serious tone, “You see, Zhuge Liang didn't have any arrows in at hand, so how could he think of such a method as borrowing arrows from the enemy? Isn't he a very brilliant strategist? What did you learn from it?”

Currently, it was just the two of them sitting opposite of each other on the tea table. Mo Linyuan smiled slightly and said, “What did I learn…do you really want to know?”

“Of course!” Ye Mu nodded. Seeing Mo Linyuan's smile, she intentionally made a face. “Hey, hey. It's cla.s.s now. Be more solemn—answer me properly!”

Her bulging bun face gave Mo Linyuan the impulse to pinch her cheeks. But restrained his mouth from smiling and said, “Alright, I'll say it.” He thought for a moment and seriously said, “Actually, this story wouldn't be a brilliant tactic for me."

“Eh? Why?”

Ye Mu still remembered that when she was a child, she had read this book and had even thought that Zhuge Liang was a very cunning person!

Mo Linyuan smiled and said, “I would have asked you to make me a gla.s.s telescope beforehand. With the telescope, I would be able to see everything clearly despite the fog. How then could Zhuge Liang's plan succeed?”

That's right. Ye Mu's eyes widened. “No, no! What if you didn't have a telescope? What would you do in that situation?”

Mo Linyuan shook his head, “My nature is different from the Cao Cao tribe. When the enemy invades, I will definitely send troops to fight immediately. Even if I use arrows to attack from afar, I will still use ones that are ignited by fire."

If they used fire arrows, wouldn't Zhuge Liang's boats be set on fire? That solves everything so easily, thought Mo Linyuan

Her expression changed unpredictably, and in the end, she threw the book away and said unhappily, “You're shameless! You knew it was a wooden boat, or else you wouldn't have used fire arrows!”

Mo Linyuan merely countered, “Even if I didn't know, I would have definitely used it. After all, ships are made of wood and under the fog, only by igniting fire can we determine the location of the enemies. Only then would they not waste arrows by shooting blindly. Moreover, the fog is clearly the best time to launch a sneak attack, but the other party is actually beating the drum and not thinking properly."

"It is clear that it's not viable in a real war—if it were me, I would have definitely chosen to fight smart. If the other party had continued fighting, not allowing them to retreat, then there would be the need to chase after them. In short, with a different mind, the outcome would also be different."

He said these words with resoluteness, and the girl in front of him seemed to have been persuaded as he continued on…

What he said actually made a lot of sense…what the heck!

Ye Mu got up in anger. However, her face was a little pink at the corners.

“You…that's all nonsense! If the target was you, Zhuge Liang would definitely not use gra.s.s boats to obtain the arrows. He will definitely think of another method!”

Mo Linyuan helplessly looked at her. “Yes, yes, yes—he's smarter than me. All right, don't be angry.”

This fellow had too smart of a tongue to argue with! Therefore, Ye Mu could only hold herself back. Seriously, she wasn't a real little loli, so why did she have to fight over this…not only that, but she had also been humiliated by this young man.

She awkwardly sat down. “Cough! Then, let's skip this book…next topic!”

However, Mo Linyuan stopped her. “It's already very late. Let's call it a day; you need to rest.”

As expected, Ye Mu had reached midnight reading books to him. This was because Mo Linyuan was clever, good-looking and a pleasant person to talk to. When she taught him, she found out that time would always pa.s.s by very quickly.

“Alright, let's rest early. We'll spar the first thing tomorrow morning!”

After saying that, Ye Mu wanted to leave, but Mo Linyuan abruptly stopped her.

“Will you stay tonight?” he asked.

“Ah, ah?!” After being caught off-guard for a second, Ye Mu was greatly shocked and used both hands to cover her chest, “What are you trying to do?!”

At first, Mo Linyuan looked at her with a puzzled expression. And then with an innocent, sincere expression, he said, “Actually, today is my birthday.”

“What? Birthday?!” Ye Mu dropped her arms and scratched her head in embarra.s.sment, “Why didn't you say so earlier? I wasn't able to prepare anything…”

“It doesn't matter.” Mo Linyuan smiled and said, “You can stay and accompany me tonight.”

Accompany…

Ye Mu looked at Mo Linyuan's attractive appearance, then looked at the bed and asked with a stiff smile, “Do you know that boys and girls sleep in different beds when they turn seven years old regardless if they are siblings?”
