After the recording of the remaining two songs was completed, Shen Yuhan was about to return to Jiang City, before leaving, he approached Director Fang again and asked about the ancient tomb, Director Fang just thought he was a young man with curiosity, so he told him.
Shen Yuhan is now familiar with Director Fang: “Director, what is the origin of that tomb owner, can you tell me about it? I’m really curious.”
Director Fang chuckled and said: “It’s no big deal to tell you, it will be announced to the outside world after the research on the ancient tomb is completed.”
Shen Yuhan nodded: “Then tell me quickly.”
Director Fang: “What’s the hurry, at present, there are many doubts about this ancient tomb, the skeleton of the tomb owner is not quite the same as ours, at first, the experts thought that it might be a girl, and then other tombs were discovered nearby, the owner of the tomb was a male, no different from our current male, they all suspected that the owner of this music score may have been born different from ordinary people, and it can be concluded that he is a boy who was born with a congenital deformity or a genetic defect.”
Shen Yuhan didn’t expect to get this answer: “His body is different from that of an ordinary male, and he is deformed?”
Director Fang nodded: “Yes, it’s also just speculation, there are too few records about his life in this tomb, but it’s still being cleaned up, it would be great if there were an epitaph, it’s a pity.”
Shen Yuhan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Director Fang’s answer.
He just let out this breath, and Director Fang received a phone call, only to see Director Fang’s eyebrows beaming with joy, he exclaimed: “Great, really great, I’ll leave for your place tomorrow, this project is of utmost importance this year, it must be handled carefully, and make sure there are no mistakes, we must preserve the cultural relics meticulously, how much ancient cultural value can these objects from over two thousand years ago bring us.”
Just when Shen Yuhan was thinking that there was some new development in the ancient tomb, Director Fang said: “They found the tomb owner’s notebook, when the text is analyzed, more information will be known.”
Shen Yuhan asked him: “Director, can I take a look at his notebook? I’m quite curious about their writing, and I usually also like calligraphy, so I’m happy to see it.”
“Not now, when the research is almost done, I’ll take a photo for you.” Director Fang is happy in his heart, these cultural relics would come out sooner or later, so there would be no work problems if they were shown to Shen Yuhan in advance.
Shen Yuhan nodded, and after hearing Director Fang thank him for coming over to help with the recording and so on, Shen Yuhan hurriedly said that it was what he should do.
With some uncertainty and apprehension, Shen Yuhan left the institute and went back to the hotel.
It’s not a loss to come all this way, he doesn’t know who the owner of the tomb is, but they should be related to the Qi Kingdom.
The country he used to live in is really as his husband said, buried by the current of history, perhaps the whole race has died out, or maybe they’re just hiding in the city, the world will never accept a special race of people, as time passes, they would rather be invisible and remain anonymous.
Shen Yuhan is more inclined to the latter’s statement, it’s not that gers don’t exist, but that they have been hidden because of their special physique.
When he thought about it now, he realized how special gers actually was, he remembers his elder brother telling him that, except for Qi Kingdom and Chu Kingdom, there are actually many countries that don’t have gers, if the country is destroyed, gers may become very valuable, or on the contrary, they may be reduced to slaves, and be bought and sold as commodities.
Just because they are too special.
At that time, he didn’t quite understand what the ‘special’ his elder brother meant, perhaps he had too little experience at the time, and took it for granted that gers were everywhere. He understands now, that this is not the case.
Without the protection of the country, they would be relegated to the ranks of prisoners, or suffer even more tragic experiences.
Thinking of what happened to him and those of the gers who had disappeared, Shen Yuhan couldn’t help but sigh, they were too fragile.
The owner of this tomb is also surnamed Shen, perhaps it is just a coincidence, there are thousands of people surnamed Shen, and it is impossible to dig up the ancestral graves of their Shen family.

Shen Yuhan returned to the hotel in a different mood, after dinner, he had a video chat with Shan Qihuan, and his husband easily discovered that he was too depressed.
“What, you’re not happy to be going home?” Shan Qihuan thought to himself, they had a very happy chat last night, but why did he become so exhausted after going out today?
Shen Yuhan held up the phone, held his face in his hands, and said to Shan Qihuan: “I’m not unhappy.”
Shan Qihuan guessed that he might have encountered something during the recording, so he gave him a suggestion: “Why don’t you play in the capital for two days.”
Shen Yuhan has never gone out to visit the scenic spots alone, he has seen them all in Jiang City: “I’m going alone?”
“You have a bodyguard, and Assistant Yang to accompany you, isn’t that enough?” Shan Qihuan said.
“Yes, it’s true that I have them, but I don’t have a husband.” At the mention of the trip, Shen Yuhan’s mood began to improve, and he told himself in his heart that he couldn’t dwell on the past.
“You still want me to fly over to accompany you? Don’t have to earn money to support you?” Shan Qihuan smiled.
“Earning money is important, but my husband can also accompany me once in a while,” Shen Yuhan sighed deliberately, “Of course, I don’t miss my husband very much either.”
Shan Qihuan raised his eyebrows: “Don’t miss me?”
“But I miss you, and I can’t see you, so I might as well think less about it, look, we’re both on video now, which reduces the feeling of missing you so much.” Shen Yuhan’s love words are also coming out of his mouth now, of course, he just feels that he is being honest with his husband, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Shan Qihuan suddenly felt that the screen of this mobile phone was still too small: “Since you want to think less of me, then hang up the video.”
Shen Yuhan: “No, I’m afraid I won’t be able to sleep later, I’m scared.”
Shan Qihuan: “You’re so bold, you don’t even miss your husband, how can you be afraid.”
“Husband don’t be angry, I was wrong, I actually miss you, I think about you when I’m eating, when I’m walking, when I’m working, I even think about you in my dreams, last night, I even dreamt that you came to pick me up and take me home.” Shen Yuhan sincerely told him his thoughts.
Shan Qihuan admired his wife a little, he could say the most beautiful words in the most ordinary tone, the most everyday tone, which made his heart feel itchy every time.
He counted the days when they were apart, and they hadn’t met each other for more than a week.
Seeing that he remained silent, Shen Yuhan thought about what his husband had done while video chatting with him in the hotel before.
“Husband, I’m going to take a shower, wait for me for a while.”
“Um.”
Shan Qihuan thought he would turn around and leave, but who knows, the next second, Shen Yuhan began to take off his shirt in front of the video, his movements were extremely slow, undoing the buttons one by one, when he got to the last button, he suddenly turned around, and turned his back to the camera.
Shan Qihuan’s breath began to get worse, he stopped eating meat for a week, he wanted to cover his eyes, but he couldn’t bear to give up for a second.
Shen Yuhan, who had his back to the video, made a new move, placing his hands on his lower abdomen, Shan Qihuan could imagine what he was doing.
Perhaps because of his overwhelming shyness, Shen Yuhan suddenly turned around: “Husband, I’m going in to take a shower!” The next moment, he got into the bathroom, leaving only an empty room for Shan Qihuan.
Shan Qihuan, who originally wanted to wait to see his white legs, shouted: “Shen Yuhan, you come back for me!”
Shen Yuhan laughed out loud inside, and replied at a high volume: “I don’t.”
Shan Qihuan shook his head helplessly, capped the pen in his hand, and put it on the table.
He spoke into the mobile phone, gritting his teeth and saying into the air: “Shen Yuhan, you wait for me, and bear the consequences!”
Immediately afterward, he hung up the video call and quickly booked a flight ticket to the capital.
When Shen Yuhan came out of the shower, Shan Qihuan told him that he wasn’t working overtime, and had already gone home, so he wouldn’t video chat with him anymore.
After the video call in the evening, Shen Yuhan is no longer afraid, he decided to listen to his husband’s suggestion and go visit the temples and famous attractions in the capital tomorrow, a quick search on the Internet revealed a lot of things to do and eat, such as Wangfujing1王府井 (Wáng fǔ jǐng): lit. Prince’s Mansion Well; Wangfujing is a shopping street in Beijing, China, located in Dongcheng District. The majority of the main area is pedestrianised. Since the middle of the Ming Dynasty there have been commercial activities in the area. In the Qing Dynasty, ten aristocratic estates and princess residence were built here, soon after when a well full of sweet water was discovered, thereby giving the street its name “Wang Fu” (princely residence), “Jing” (well). Many exotic foods are served on Wangfujing snack street., Prince’s Mansion2王府 (wáng fǔ): lit. Prince’s Mansion; T/N: There’s several place I can found, Prince Gong’s Mansion, also known as the Prince Kung Mansion, is a museum and tourist attraction located in Xicheng District, Beijing, just north of the Shichahai Lake. It consists of large siheyuan-style mansions and gardens. Originally constructed for Heshen, an official renowned for being the most corrupt official in Chinese history, it was later renamed after Prince Gong, a Manchu prince and influential statesman of the late Qing dynasty, who inhabited the mansion in the late 19th century; The Prince Chun Mansion, also known as the Northern Mansion, is a large residence in the siheyuan style with lavish private garden located near the Shichahai neighborhood in central Beijing. The grounds had been part of a villa built by Mingju, an official in the court of the Kangxi Emperor. It would later be seized by Heshen, a favorite of Emperor Qianlong, and following Heshen’s purge and execution in 1799, it would be bestowed on Yongxing, Prince Cheng, by his brother, the Emperor Jiaqing, and the mansion was renovated. The mansion would change hands several times, eventually ending up as the residence of a minor Qing official named Yusu., the Forbidden City3故宮 (gù gōng): The Forbidden City is a palace complex in Dongcheng District, Beijing, China, at the center of the Imperial City of Beijing. It is surrounded by numerous opulent imperial gardens and temples including the 22 ha (54-acre) Zhongshan Park, the sacrificial Imperial Ancestral Temple, the 69 ha (171-acre) Beihai Park, and the 23 ha (57-acre) Jingshan Park. It is officially administered by the Palace Museum. The Forbidden City was declared a World Heritage Site in 1987., as well as the Great Wall4長城 (Cháng chéng): The Great Wall of China is a series of fortifications that were built across the historical northern borders of ancient Chinese states and Imperial China as protection against various nomadic groups from the Eurasian Steppe. Several walls were built from as early as the 7th century BC, with selective stretches later joined by Qin Shi Huang (220–206 BC), the first emperor of China. Little of the Qin wall remains. Later on, many successive dynasties built and maintained multiple stretches of border walls. The best-known sections of the wall were built by the Ming dynasty (1368–1644)., and the National Museum5國家博物館 (guó jiā bó wù guǎn): The National Museum of China flanks the eastern side of Tiananmen Square in Beijing, China. The museum’s mission is to educate about the arts and history of China. It is a level-1 public welfare institution funded by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism of China. The museum was established in 2003 by the merging of the two separate museums that had occupied the same building since 1959: the Museum of the Chinese Revolution in the northern wing (originating in the Office of the National Museum of the Revolution founded in 1950 to preserve the legacy of the 1949 revolution) and the National Museum of Chinese History in the southern wing (with origins in both the Beijing National History Museum, founded in 1949, and the Preliminary Office of the National History Museum, founded in 1912, tasked to safeguard China’s larger historical legacy). The building was completed in 1959 as one of the Ten Great Buildings celebrating the ten-year anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China. It complements the opposing Great Hall of the People that was built at the same time. are all places he can visit at will.
It is said that the Forbidden City is still the residence of the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, but now it has become a tourist attraction for the public to visit at will, Thinking about the gers in Qi Kingdom again, in a world where both sexes are predominantly male and female, wouldn’t it be just as much of an exhibition piece if there were more gers?
Perhaps it was a wise monarch who made the decision, there are too many uncertainties in historical changes.
Alas.
–
Shen Yuhan didn’t know when he fell asleep, but suddenly, he heard someone knocking on the door of his room, at the same time, his mobile phone also rang, it was his husband.
How could his husband call him in the middle of the night?
Is there something urgent?
Shen Yuhan forcefully opened his eyes, in fact, he had just slept for less than two hours, he pressed the answer button, and his voice was still full of drowsiness: “Husband?”
There was a knock at the door in the receiver, and his husband said: “Open the door, it’s me.”
Shen Yuhan immediately woke up: “You’re, outside the door?” He’s always careful when he sleeps, and he’ll fasten the anti-theft buckle, “Is it really you?”
Shan Qihuan got the room card from Assistant Yang, but he never expected that it was locked inside: “It’s me.”
Shen Yuhan rubbed his face vigorously, fearing that he was dreaming, until he opened the door and saw his husband’s handsome face through the gap, and his always deliberately cold voice: “Don’t be nervous, it’s me.”
Only then did Shen Yuhan open the door, Shan Qihuan took off his coat and his body exuded chill, he picked Shen Yuhan up and sat him down on the desk.
“Ah!” Shen Yuhan hurriedly hugged his neck, “Husband, what are you doing?”
Shan Qihuan stared at his face with red eyes: “What do you think I’m doing coming all the way here? Do you know how to write the word ‘bear the consequences’?”
Only then did Shen Yuhan remember what he had done before taking a shower, and he regretted that he had done it too late, it turned out that this way he could see his husband earlier.
Shan Qihuan didn’t care whether he was awake or not, he directly pressed the person down and kissed him for a while.
He almost got locked out in the middle of the night.
