"This is impossible." Lu Yi questioned nervously, "Even if you want to sell your body to the palace, you have to register first and wait for the letter, how can you be called to the palace on the same day? The errand has not been arranged yet!"
Gu Qingyuan sighed, continue to fool the little liar: "Gu mou family poor, in fact, has long been sold into the palace, registered, just this year to do some hard labor to save a meager family, so did not take the palace arrangements for the errand, thought that the days will be better day by day, I did not expect to meet you."
"......" The soaring guilt made Lu Yi lose his ability to think.
Gu Qingyuan looked up, the little liar ashamed of the lips straight shivering, hurriedly lowered his head to stifle his laughter, cleared his throat, sad: "You do not have to feel sorry for me, this is fate, willing to accept fate, the heart is not so tormented."
Saying that, he stood up with his sword in a weary manner, and looked at the little liar with a desolate glance: "I should go on night duty, just now the matter of secretly practicing the sword, can you not tell the chief eunuch? Leave Gu with a broken life."
Lu Yi covered his mouth with a snap! So as not to cry out of guilt!
"Hahahahahaha!" Gu Qingyuan couldn't hold back, this little liar's reaction was too damn funny! It made him laugh, but he still reacted quickly, switching his laughter to a bitter smile up to the sky, only leaving behind the sentence, "This is life!"
Leaving Lu Zhan with a sad back, Warrior Gu disappeared palely into the night.
As Lu Yi ran back to his bedchamber, his mind was filled with images of his first meeting with the man in green-
What a free-spirited, martial-arts old ruffian this man was originally!
Just sold himself into slavery and lost his freedom forever!
Thinking about it, Lu Yi covered his mouth again with a "pop"!
The small eunuch on night duty at the entrance of the bedchamber, carrying a lantern up to serve, a look at the king covered his mouth, busy to go forward and ask: "His Highness ate a bad stomach?"
Why do you look like you want to throw up?
Lu Yi hurriedly took a deep breath, forced his emotions to calm down, loosened his hand, and said to the little eunuch with a cold face "No ......"
The words did not finish, thought of the green man has now become a small eunuch like the poor man, the feeling of guilt once again surged to the heart, Lu Yi Yi "pop" sound to cover his mouth!
Little eunuch: "...... Your Highness this?"
Lu Yi waved his hand, covered his mouth and rushed through the door with tears in his eyes, and locked himself alone in the bedchamber.
Another sleepless night, occasionally staring past, and the dreams were all about the man in green looking sadly.
Early in the morning of the second day, Lu Yi's eyes "smoky makeup", has completed a layer of blackened surface image for him, is a surface devil.
Guilt had clouded his mind all morning, and he hadn't even paid much attention to Chitti or Ayao.
Practicing martial arts in the morning, he even had a hallucination and saw that Zhang Si, who had originally instructed him and his seventh brother in martial arts, had turned into that man in green!
Lu Zhan closed his eyes to shake his head vigorously, and opened his eyes to see-
"Arm power! If you're picking upwards, you need to strike upwards, don't just hook your wrist all the time, you're lazy!" Gu Qingyuan corrected Lu Qian's sword stance in a rude manner, lecturing, "If you're so cozy with your wrist, you're separating your body from the sword, do you understand? How can you still be one with your sword? What bad habits."
Lu Qian was unconvinced, "It's not laziness, so quick to change moves."
"What's the use of just being fast?" Gu Qingyuan see master brother actually dare to talk back, immediately raised eyebrows and glared at the lesson: "The fundamentals of the work is not solid, you can only deal with second-rate experts, the sword moves so turn, you can not make ten percent of the internal force, encountered a first-class experts, a moment to give you a flying, there is the form but not the real, embroidered pillows."
"Embroidered pillow?" Lu Qian lowered his sword and stepped forward aggressively, forcing his senior brother to retract what he had just said with his eyes.
Xue Yao was just about to go forward to persuade the fight, when he saw Baby Nuan brushing past him like an arrow off the string, flying in front of Gu Qingyuan!
Lu Yi Yi nervously said to Lu Qian, "Seventh Brother don't get on his bad side, he just entered the palace and doesn't know any better!"
"Ah, so you are King Ning's elder brother?" Gu Qingyuan was behind Lu Yi, pretending to smile badly in a dazed manner.
Lu Zun turned his head and criticized him, "What are you doing here? Go back to work!"
Gu Qingyuan grinned, "Thanks to Your Highness' favor, Mister Gu has been ordered to accompany him here."
"You guys know each other?" Lu Qian looked at Sixth Brother suspiciously.
Lu Yi grabbed the seventh brother by the wrist and pulled him to the corner to whisper.
"Seventh Brother, this Gu is a rough man, it's his first time in the palace, so be more tolerant and don't feel free to chastise him." Lu Yi looked grave as he pleaded, "Okay?"
"......" Lu Qian turned his head to look at his tugging senior brother in the distance, not really feeling like he could beat him.
Looking back at Sixth Brother's expectant eyes, Lu Qian still bravadoly straightened his back, "Why can't Master beat him?"
"He is at least a martial arts practitioner, good kung fu." Lu Yi looked at the seventh brother with a regretful expression and said, "Originally, he was also a man of the sky, but now that he has been purified, he can't even be counted as a man, so you can take it as a hero pitying a hero ......"
The look of horror on Lu Qian's face could no longer be described in words!
Big Brother actually ......
Nowadays, Lu Qian suffers from morning erections, and has fully understood what "cleanliness" means to a man.
"Nettlesome? Why would he ......"
"Don't ask why!" The warm baby didn't dare to remember the big mistake he had made, pursed his lips and ran away from the pain!
A few moments later, Gu Qingyuan saw Junior Brother drooping his head and walking back to his side with heavy steps.
Gu Qingyuan lowered his head and picked his eyes, going to look at Junior Brother's expression.
Lu Qian immediately turned his head away, refusing to look at the "Eunuch Brother".
"What's wrong with you?" Gu Qingyuan looked confused.
"It's fine." Lu Qian quickly slanted a glance at Eldest Senior Brother with an intolerant gaze, and tried with a grave expression, "I heard that there is a strange technique in the jianghu called Sunflower Treasure Classic, does Eldest Senior Brother understand it?"
Gu Qingyuan smiled disdainfully, "There is no kung fu in this world that Gu does not understand."
Lu Qian looked at his senior brother with a look that was surely true and couldn't bear to look at him.
It was as if he saw Kensei smothering a large vat of tofu.
"What, want to learn the Sunflower Treasure Classic?" Warrior Gu questioned Junior Brother with a condescending look on his face and interpreted Junior Brother's evasive gaze as a shy request for instruction.
"Don't want to." His Highness was decisive.
"Why don't you want to?" Warrior Gu was puzzled.
Lu Qian pointed sideways at the virtuous little companion who was adjusting the milk under the pergola in the distance, and made a serious statement, "Master still needs to use it, and it can't be cut."
Warrior Gu was at a loss, but having gotten used to Junior Brother's somewhat eccentric personality and way of speaking, he didn't bother to ask too many questions, so he continued to instruct the sword practice.
After the first stance was practiced, Xue Yao carried the milk jug and pitched in to feed the pups.
The cub was so preoccupied to-day that he was full after only half a jug of milk, and looking gravely at the little companion, he said in a low tone, "Master will keep it for you."
Xue Yao froze, looked down at the milk jug, thinking that His Highness had left half a jug of milk for himself, and was immediately moved, "Your Highness understands."
Lu Qian pursed his lips in understanding, Xue Yao nodded in relief, and the two of them looked at each other with affection.
On this day, the warm baby remained nestled in the pergola, its head scrunched up like a little ostrich.
Xue Yao took advantage of Lu Qian's continued sword practice to walk over and sit down next to Baby Nuan, asking softly, "Is Your Highness still bothered by what you said yesterday?"
"Call me Easy!"
"Easy."
Only then did Lu Yi turn his head to look at Xue Yao, "Do you want me or do you want Chitti? Chitti he doesn't understand you at all."
"You don't know yourself either." Xue Yao looked at him, "To put it in a highfalutin way, since I was a child, I've always treated you as my confidant."
Lu Yi's eyes lit up, the burning hope drowned out his guilt, "If you say so, then this piece of my heart is not a wrong payment."
"We have not mispaid our minds to each other." Xue Yao pursed her lips and scooted a butt closer to Baby Nuan, put one hand on his shoulder, and came close to his ear to gently exhale, "Does Your Highness want it?"
Lu Zhan shrunk his neck and felt a layer of goose bumps on half of his body! Instinctively jumping up and taking two steps back, he looked at Xue Yao in surprise and stammered, "What are you ...... doing?"
"Pfft ......" Xue Yao couldn't help but laugh, slapping her hand down and pointing at the warm baby, she laughed, "Look at you, you've tried it out in one try."
"Try what?" Returning to his senses, Lu Yi realized that he had overreacted and hurriedly cleared his throat, lifting up the hem of his shirt and sitting squarely back next to Xue Yao.
Xue Yao raised an eyebrow, "If you had that kind of feelings for me, you wouldn't have felt so awkward just now."
"What's wrong? Who's twisted?" Lu Zhan realized that he was fooled and looked at Xue Yao with a face full of urgent fire, "You were just too sudden!"
"If it was that kind of emotion." Xue Yao looked at Lu Yi firmly, "You wouldn't have instinctively resisted."
"I didn't resist." Lu Yi eagerly tried to explain, but the half of his body that had just been hitched to Xue Yao's exhale was still getting goose bumps, and he chagrined as he looked down and thought about it, honestly explaining, "Not all men are addicted to that kind of thing, Ah Yao, my feelings for you are beyond desire, but if you like it, I ...... "
"Beyond desire?" Xue Yao interrupted Warm Baby's confession and seriously enlightened, "Ah Zun, do you know, what do we call a confidant who is beyond desire?"
"Called what?"
"Good buddy."
Lu Yi frowned, "That's different, do you think I can't distinguish between my feelings for my brothers and for you? You're completely different from fifth brother and seventh brother."
"Of course it's different." Xue Yao said, "I am the only one who understands you, I know how to de-escalate your anxiety, how to get you to open up, how to make you feel safe ...... You do the same for me, because essentially, we are both very similar."
All are disliked by their parents, all are most prone to self-doubt and self-loathing, all are accustomed to sacrificing themselves to please others, and all are living with every fiber of their being.
"It's exhausting to pretend to be more inconsiderate than others when you're already more vulnerable than others, isn't it?"
Xue Yao's eyes became sad as she gazed at Lu Zhan, as if she was looking at herself in the mirror, panicking to cover up her bruises, "Do you really like spending time with me? Just because I can speak your mind and understand your needs? But you are still cautious in front of me, just because you understand each other, and you have to take care of my little mind which is more sensitive than your brothers', and you have to be careful of each other, isn't it also very tiring? I can indeed understand you, but there is no way to let you remove your defenses and be your true self without worry, do you like me like this?"
"I like it!" Lu Zhan firmly looked at Xue Yao and swore, "I'm not as fragile as you think, Ah Yao, I don't need you to be so careful to take care of me, to lose your temper if you're not happy, to relax a bit to face me, it's you who's thinking too much."
Xue Yao's eyes emptied for a moment.
If you're not happy, you lose your temper.
Thinking too much?
It seemed that only when Xue Yao faced Lu Qian did she dare to completely not think about anything, handing over her entire self into the palm of Lu Qian's hand, throwing little tantrums when she wasn't happy, and even daring to be unreasonable to Lu Qian.
Because Lu Qian was a little sun, Xue Yao's little temper smashed through, and before he could even get close, he had already been burned to ashes by the heat radiating from Lu Qian.
He knew that his sensitivity couldn't hurt Lu Qian, so he dared to be reckless.
It was also because of the vast difference between certain aspects of his and Lu Qian's personalities that made his troubles and frustrations sufficiently mysterious to Lu Qian, a mystery that could even stir Lu Qian's desire for conquest, so that he came to coax him and explore him with great interest.
Xue Yao's sensuality was a miracle that Lu Qian could not see or touch in his rational world, and had a natural attraction that made Lu Qian excitedly wrap him up and keep pushing up to touch him.
Because of the untouchable mystery, the scratching of Xue Yao's outstretched little paw would instead make Lu Qian even more curious.
The warm baby was a different story, and before Xue Yao's claws could reach out, Lu Yi might have been injured.
"If I am reckless in front of you, I have to watch you make sacrifices for me and commiserate to warm me." Xue Yao looked at Baby Warmth, "Ah Zhan, there are too few people in this world who can understand you and me, that's why you feel lonely and sick. I can promise you that I won't leave you, we will always be good brothers, but I can't cure your injuries."
Lu Zhan's eyes darkened, "Did you want to choose the seventh brother?"
Xue Yao shook his head, "I wouldn't have picked him either."
The author has something to say:
Warrior Gu: What is the Sunflower Treasure Tantra? I can't believe I've never heard of it? But I mustn't lose face in front of my senior brother, so I'll pretend to be proficient, hehehe.
