Immersive Fast Wear: The Anti-Strike Manual of the Heartthrob

'Is she just throwing herself at others?'

Yuan Jing felt bitter and painful in his heart. He suppressed his anger and spoke in a deep voice:

"I don't like men."

One moment we know her apparent identity as a man who says he likes her, and the next moment she says she doesn’t like men. Aren’t these two statements contradictory?

Liu Hao frowned, not understanding what he meant.

Yuan Jing explained:

"I don't have a preference for men. It was only after I found out I liked you that I realized I liked men."

"It's because that person is you, so I don't care even if he's a man."

He stood up, took several steps towards Liu Yao, and stopped one step away from her, revealing all the love hidden deep in his heart.

The huge thunder that struck the Zhaixing Tower seemed to reappear at this moment and rushed straight into Liu Yao's brain.

She was surprised and confused, and before she had time to digest the feeling, she heard words that shocked her even more.

"You don't have to worry about what outsiders will say. As long as you respond to the imperial decree, I will solve all problems. No matter what the problem is, I can also be there."

"Under the bed, I am the emperor and you are the queen. I am on top and you are on the bottom. On the bed, you are on top and I am on the bottom, but you can't tell anyone else."

"I still have to maintain some dignity when I'm outside."

Yuan Jing's expression looked conflicted and melancholy, and it was obvious that he took a long time to convince himself that he was being suppressed.

But Liu Yao didn't need his concession!

If his expression hadn't been so serious, Liu Yao would have thought that he was just playing a joke on her out of sheer joy at ascending the throne.

What ups and downs? She had read some storybooks when she was young, so she knew what he was talking about.

Liu Yao was so shocked that he kept coughing, tears almost flowing out of the corners of his eyes, but he still found it very hard to believe what Yuan Jing said.

"Ahem... Your Majesty... What are you talking about?"

Even though they were the only two in the room, Yuan Jing felt very uncomfortable when that incident was mentioned.

He covered his lips with his hand, his voice was muffled, and his face was red, even redder than the red ink he had used to mark the memorials.

"You know, that favor..."

The originally serious atmosphere was instantly broken by Yuan Jing's words.

Liu Yao really never thought that the emperor could make such a concession, and his voice was a little stuttering when he responded.

"No, that's not necessary, Your Majesty."

Yuan Jing was an emperor above all others, and he was able to make such a concession. Apart from anything else, Liu Yao at least believed that his feelings for her must be true.

Recalling those few months, they actually got along quite well, and Liu Yao also had some good feelings towards him.

However, no matter how you slice it, this affection is only between friends, and is far from the affection between lovers.

Even if she really fell in love with Yuan Jing, she would not agree to the imperial decree to confer the title of queen.

But if he refused directly, Liu Yao suddenly remembered the scene in the hall just now.

Originally, His Majesty seemed to have no intention of expressing his feelings in front of everyone.

It was obvious that the imperial edict was not written in advance to enthrone her as queen.

Compliments like "virtuous minister", "assisting in government affairs" and "unparalleled talent" are quite different from the identity of the queen.

So, why the sudden change of mind?

Liu Hao's pupils flickered slightly as he remembered.

It was I who mentioned my cousin, wanting to ask for mercy for her.

Although what he wanted was to ask His Majesty to set his cousin free, in the eyes of everyone, his cousin and he were childhood sweethearts who were in love and had a very good relationship.

The person who used to be their legal wife became the emperor, and in their eyes, the grace they asked for was just a prelude to making their beloved the emperor's legal wife.

Love can give rise to jealousy, and all abnormal behavior now has a specific reason.

Before, he had misunderstood that I wanted to change the imperial edict in order to fight for my cousin's status. If I refused again, would he misunderstand that the reason for the refusal was my cousin and get angry?

Liu Yao recalled his series of considerate behaviors after he entered the study, and he could confirm that he was reluctant to make things difficult for him.

So, how can he dispel the anger of being rejected? Will it be directed towards the "culprit" he thinks he is?

The more I explain and plead for my cousin, the more His Majesty will feel that they have a deep relationship. Who knows what he will do then.

How can I erase the stereotype in his mind that I admire my cousin?

Liu Hao took a deep breath and decided to take a gamble.

She suddenly stood up from the wooden chair, lifted her clothes, and knelt down.

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty. I have something to hide and I voluntarily plead guilty. I only hope Your Majesty will not vent your anger on my family."

The knees, which had been kneeling stiffly in the hall, now fell down heavily, making a dull but loud sound, and one could tell it was extremely painful.

"Get up."

Yuan Jing didn't think much about it and immediately wanted to help her up.

"I am guilty," Liu Yao gritted his teeth and endured the pain that was about to come out, and emphasized again.

She was unwilling to get up, and Yuan Jing would not blame her. He quickly gave her the promise she wanted:

"Tell me what's the matter. I won't take my anger out on others or blame anyone else for anything that happens to you."

"I won't even blame you."

He didn't say the last sentence.

After getting Yuan Jing's promise, Liu Yao felt relieved and revealed the secret that he had hidden from outsiders for more than ten years.

"I am a woman."

Caught off guard, Yuan Jing's mind went blank, and he even said "Ah" in a somewhat foolish way, "What did you say?"

"I am a woman, and my engagement with my cousin is also to conceal my identity."

Liu Yao was forcefully helped up by Yuan Jing. He looked into his eyes without dodging or avoiding and made his point again.

The confused feeling slowly dissipated in my heart.

She was a woman, and the only obstacle between them disappeared.

And the most important point is that she has no affair with her cousin.

Yuan Jing was filled with joy and couldn't help but put on a happy smile on his face.

Liu Yao shook his head helplessly, took a step back, deliberately keeping a distance from him, and acted cold and distant.

"Your Majesty, please withdraw the imperial decree that crowned the Queen."

The joy of reaching the top suddenly dropped again, and Yuan Jing was so angry that his eyes turned red.

It was impossible for him to hurt Liu Yao, so he held on to the wooden chair that Liu Yao had just sat on with both hands. The solid wood could not bear the weight and made a creaking sound.

Yuan Jing endured and endured, squeezing out two words from between his teeth: "Why?"

All the reasons for rejection he had expected did not appear, so why was he still rejected?

He couldn't figure it out.

"Your Majesty, do you know my name?"

Of course I know that.

Liu Que asked again, "What might the word Que remind you of?"

Oak, oak?

A tall tree, thriving, able to shelter people from wind and rain, never afraid of wind and rain, just like the oak.

Yuan Jing's eyes softened.
