After more than ten rounds of inner battle, the little prince finally reluctantly moved into the same bedroom with the big beauty.
It has to be said that it was not a problem for Yan Muning to have doubts about the big beauty at first. It was the big beauty’s family background that really left him a little confused.
Take this house for example. It looks unremarkable from the outside, but when you enter the courtyard, you will find a completely different atmosphere.
Although the courtyard is not large, but the owner’s style, taste, and care can be seen in every scene and flower arrangement after entering the main gate.
When passing by the front hall, Yan Muning took a quick glance at it. It was simple and elegant, exactly the same style that Yun Jiangli liked in his small courtyard on the outskirts of the city.
It can be seen that they were all carefully arranged by the big beauty.
At this moment, Yan Muning followed the big beauty into the bedroom and stood in the middle to look around. Whether it was furniture or bed curtains and bedding, each piece was made of the finest materials, and all of them, big and small, exuded exquisiteness.
Yun Jiangli seemed to have a special preference for furry textures. The warm couch was covered with a silver-white fur blanket, which was somewhat similar to the bed he always took naps on when he was in the suburbs.
The small incense burner on the table was extremely delicate, a workmanship that even Yan Muning had never seen before.
So if they were to say that Yun Jiangli is from an ordinary family, the little prince would never believe it. But if they say he is a young master from a rich family, he also doesn’t have the temperament of those young masters at all.
Not only does he not have the dandy airs of those young masters, but he also has a bit of aloofness.
It can be said that there are no servants or maidservants in the small courtyard outside the city because it is an occasional place to stay.
But this house in the city should not be like this.
Such a big house, but there is not even a housekeeper or servant. Does Yun Jiangli have to do everything himself?
As the little prince thought about it, his mind wandered. Following the stories in the novels, he came up with all kinds of stories about a wealthy but destitute young master, a legitimate son in a mansion who was squeezed out by his stepmother, and a noble and aloof beauty who refused to submit to the oppression of the rich and powerful…
As he was thinking about it, the little prince suddenly had an idea—no wonder the big beauty said that he wanted him to be his medicine boy!
There is no one who can help him ah. The big beauty is so miserable!
Yan Muning became even more determined to bring the person back to the palace, love him well, and spoil him so that he would have no worries from then on!
.
During the days in Jinzhou City, the quality of life improved significantly. Specifically, the little prince felt that he had gained weight after entering the city.
What’s even worse is that the white sparrow was really as fat as a ball.
Yun Jiangli still spends most of his time in the study or pharmacy, but occasionally someone will also come to see him for medical treatment.
As the little prince’s injuries gradually healed, he really began to learn to be a medicine boy seriously.
He wanted to seize every opportunity to interact with the big beauty more and share his worries.
So, when Yun Jiangli was reading medical books, he stayed beside him, and when Yun Jiangli was picking herbs, he was still beside him…
It would have been fine if he had just followed closely, but he even carried the little bird in his arms wherever he went. When he followed to the pharmacy with the bird, the fat bird actually tried to steal some herbs with its greedy mouth, but Yun Jiangli discovered it in time and pinched its beak.
“If you are bored, find a book you like and read it.”
That afternoon, Yan Muning came to the study to find Yun Jiangli with the white sparrow in his arms. Yun Jiangli was really annoyed by these two energetic little things. He raised his hand and pointed to the bookshelf on the side and said.
“I’m not bored. I agreed to be your medicine boy, so naturally I have to learn more from you.” The little prince said seriously.
Yun Jiangli: “……”
Then why are you staring at my face?
In the end, he didn’t say it out loud, he had no choice but to pick a book about medicine that wasn’t too obscure and say perfunctorily, like coaxing a child, “Come, go to the desk over there and copy down these pages.”
It’s not that Yun Jiangli dislikes this little follower. But this youth always moves a small stool to sit next to him, staring at him with his bright eyes without blinking, which is really unbearable for anyone.
Even with his cold personality, he couldn’t calm down under those eyes, and the soft flesh of his heart felt like it was being gently tickled by a kitten’s paw.
He couldn’t just chop someone down with his sword, so he could only use this subtle way to fool the little thing.
Yan Muning received the instructions, took the medical book and the fat bird, and carefully copied the text on the desk beside him.
It’s rare to have a quiet time, and Yun Jiangli suddenly felt uncomfortable. He twirled the pages of the book with his fingertips, not turning over this chapter for a long time.
He quietly stood up and walked behind Yan Muning. He lowered his eyes to look at his handwriting and was a little surprised—the youth looked handsome and elegant, and he thought his handwriting would be like that too, but he didn’t expect the strokes to be strong and powerful.
If handwriting reflects the person, then this little thing is really interesting. How can he have such a strong heart?
Yun Jiangli turned and walked out of the study with a smile in his eyes.
.
When Yan Muning finished copying and turned around, he found that the big beauty was gone!
He pursed his lips, looking a little unhappy, then stood up slowly and placed the copied pages on Yun Jiangli’s desk.
Glancing over the half-read medical book by the big beauty, Yan Muning was suddenly drawn in by a small pattern. He leaned closer to take a closer look but found that the pattern had disappeared again.
The overly curious little prince didn’t think he was seeing things. He took a step back and looked again. It seemed that there was a four-petal bamboo leaf pattern in the corner of the book…
But if he gets closer or farther away, it will disappear again.
“What are you doing in front of my desk?”
A familiar, cold voice came from behind. Yan Muning turned around and saw the big beauty holding a fruit plate in one hand, casually leaning against the door with a smile on his lips. It seemed that he had been standing there for a long time.
Thinking of how he had just been like a monkey, peeking around the desk, the little prince’s face instantly turned red with shame.
Deep in his heart, he roared madly: My image ah!
“I, I have finished copying. Is there anything else you want me to do…” The little prince’s eyes wandered, and he awkwardly changed the subject.
Yun Jiangli smiled and said, “The pears from Jinzhou are the sweetest this season. Come and try some.”
A certain little prince was almost dazzled by the big beauty’s smile.
Yun Jiangli usually had no expression, his overly handsome face was cold and distant. But the more he smiled, the more intoxicating it was. The deep light in his phoenix eyes was truly captivating.
Yan Muning looked at the big beauty’s tall and straight figure standing with his back to the light. The warm sun was setting in the west, casting a circle of orange light on his body, which was so beautiful that one could not take his eyes away.
“You, you are so beautiful…” The little prince pursed his lips and murmured.
The voice was so soft that Yun Jiangli almost thought he had heard it wrongly.
The little prince was so ashamed that he wanted to hide away after he blurted out what he had in his mind. He snatched a pear from the fruit plate and started to bite it.
After quickly eating a pear, he made up an excuse and ran away from the study in a panic.
The little prince ran so fast that he didn’t notice that the big beauty, who was behind him, was looking at his back with a slightly dazed look, as if he were a little confused.
Of course… He didn’t see it either. After the big beauty withdrew his gaze, he stood in front of the desk with a frown, tore off a page from the open book, and put it into a locked box.
.
Yan Muning returned to the bedroom and buried his head in the quilt. After thinking over and over again, he felt that he had been too nervous just now and that this was really wrong.
But why can’t he stay calm every time he faces the big beauty?
On second thought, his fourth brother had taught him since he was young that he should take the initiative to fight for the things he likes.
Yan Muning always thought that he had a good temper and did not fight or compete.
Little did he know that when he thinks about it now, he has actually grown up to this age with very smooth sailing. The spoiled little prince has never encountered anything that he had to actively fight for.
Now it seems that he has encountered it!
He wants Yun Jiangli.
After the little prince figured it out, he immediately gathered himself together, stood up, straightened his loose clothes that were rubbed on the bed, and prepared to tell the big beauty his feelings clearly in person.
.
But the person is no longer in the study nor the pharmacy.
The front hall was empty, and the kitchen was also deserted…
It was strange that after wandering around the house for a whole circle, Yan Muning still couldn’t find Yun Jiangli.
He was about to go back to the study to wait for him. When he walked through the corridor and passed by the small warm pavilion on the west side, he suddenly found that the door was not tightly closed.
Oh yeah, why did he forget to look in the small warm pavilion just now?
As the little prince pushed the door open and walked in, he called softly, “Physician Jiang, you…”
The sound stopped abruptly.
Yan Muning stood there in a daze, wondering what to do, the big beauty was bathing!
Yun Jiangli was sitting in the bathtub behind the screen, seemingly taking a tired nap, when he was awakened by Yan Muning’s voice.
Squinting his sleepy eyes, he waited for the youth to speak for a long time, so he had to take the initiative to speak: “Xiao Qi, what’s wrong?”
The slightly hoarse voice from the hot water dyed Yan Muning’s ears red with fatigue.
The big beauty’s wet long hair was pulled to one side and hung casually on his shoulder, revealing his other shoulder line, graceful neck, and most of his chest above the water.
Yan Muning had never expected that the big beauty who looked petite and lithe on weekdays would have such a figure after taking off his clothes, with his well-proportioned and beautiful muscle lines faintly showing his strength.
The little prince, who had finally prepared himself to speak directly, was so shocked by the scene that his legs went weak and the words to express his feelings got stuck in his throat.
The words that came out of his mouth made him want to disappear right there. The little prince heard his own voice and said—
“You-why are you taking a bath in broad daylight?”
The author has something to say:
Yun Jiangli was confused: Then… when should I take a bath?
