Quick Wear: Don't come over here, you are looking for trouble

Su Shi is here again.

He knew that Xu Bai had been seriously ill and had wanted to come a few days ago, but something happened at the Su Mansion, so he was delayed until now.

The palace was particularly desolate at night. Su Shi leaned against the window frame and suddenly heard someone talking inside. After listening carefully, he found out it was Xie He.

This is not surprising. Su Shi pierced his palm with his nails. He thought, Xie He is a sinister man, he will definitely use all means to get Nian Nian... He used to be the one who loved cleanliness the most. He would never wear a brocade dress a second time if it had a stain on it, let alone a person. But now he was full of jealousy towards Xie He, and he was desperate to see what the two people were doing in there.

The dagger poked a hole in the veil covering the window, and Su Shi moved forward.

Xu Bai didn't want to face Xie He.

The young master was very clear about right and wrong, so it was even more impossible for him to forgive him now. So the two of them were in a stalemate for a while, and it was Xie He who spoke first, "Are you feeling better?"

This was not a good opening, and it easily reminded Xu Bai of the question about "jade".

The young master's lips moved slightly, and he suddenly raised his head to look at Xie He carefully. He suddenly wanted to know what Xie He wanted to do with the jade - he was already the emperor, was there anything the emperor could not do?

After Xu Bai realized that "no one loves him", he became bolder. Because he had nothing to worry about, he asked directly, "Your Majesty, why do you want that piece of jade?"

Xie He was stunned by the question. He looked at Xu Bai's face and found it unusually calm, as if he was no longer angry that he took advantage of the situation to ask about the jade. But for some reason, his heart suddenly started beating fast, trying to find a look of anger on Xu Bai's face.

Yes, if the young master cared about him, he would definitely be angry, but why was he so calm? So calm that it seemed as if he was just asking a question that had nothing to do with him?

Xie He suddenly felt a little chill, which spread from his heart and slowly spread out, making his entire body cold.

On a night like this, he suddenly had the desire to talk. If... if there was no one outside the window, Xie He would be willing to chat with him.

"Master Su," Xie He called out, "Just come in if you're here. Why are you trying to be a traitor to others?"

Xu Bai was stunned for a moment, then curled up his hands and watched Su Shi push open the window and jump in.

The atmosphere began to become awkward. The young master pursed his lips and lowered his head in silence. Xie He and Su Shi were both staring at his reaction. He was uncomfortable being stared at by two people, and he didn't have anything to say to these two people.

"It's too late." Xu Bai felt that the wound on his right arm, which had begun to scab off, was slightly itchy. He reached out to touch it and said, "I want to rest."

These two men would remind him of unpleasant things, so Xu Bai wanted to hide like a little quail, which was simply to order them to leave.

Xie He didn't know why, but when he was with Su Shi, he wanted to please Xu Bai even more. So he refused to leave, and not only refused to leave, but also gave a very gentle smile, "Nian Nian, you want to know what I use the jade for? Then I will tell you now."

He actually told the story of how the "little fairy" and he met in a dream, which fascinated Xu Bai. He bit his knuckles, sometimes panicking and sometimes delighted.

Is this true? It's just... just as bizarre as if I were reading a storybook.

"Oh." Su Shi smiled, with a hint of coldness in his eyes. In front of Xu Bai, neither of these two men would allow the other to be looked up to by the young master. "Since Your Majesty wants the little fairy, why do you want to bring Nian Nian into the palace?"

"I—" Xie He wanted to refute, but suddenly he stared at Su Shi and smiled, "What about you? Who do you want to see if you want the jade?"

Xie He came to his senses. This was the best opportunity. He could be honest, but Su Shi could not. His reasons were groundless and without evidence - the Su family could not hold on any longer, so they had to sell the jade.

Ha, this is much more ridiculous than a fairy walking out of a dream!

Su Shi really remained silent. Even after Xie He asked him twice, he couldn't say anything. The man who always pretended to be bright and cheerful seemed a little embarrassed when facing Xu Bai's gaze.

He closed his eyes, and the voice seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, "Nian Nian, I don't want Yu now, I only want you."

[Su Shi’s Favorability: 90]

It was too forced. The young master could actually understand it, but in the past, dependence and love prevailed. Even if he saw something, he would subconsciously find a bunch of reasons to overturn it. But now Xu Bai is particularly sober, and because he is sober, he knows that neither Su Shi nor Xie He has a good destination.

Xie He sneered at Su Shi's behavior of "showing loyalty". He could see Su Shi's clenched fists trembling slightly, and he could also see Xu Bai's eyes flash with surprise and then return to calm.

"You all go, I need to rest."

The look in their eyes made the boy uncomfortable, as if... in their eyes he was just an accessory of the jade, but... but is the jade more important than people? More important than love?

When Su Shi said "only you", it seemed as if he was betraying his true heart. It was ridiculous that he was the only one who thought that a man like Su Shi would be attracted by him. Xie He was right. Xu Bai realized clearly that it must have been Su Shi who sent him into the palace.

Su Shi didn't want to stay for long, and with Xie He around he couldn't say anything else. He just drew a glance at the young master's eyebrows reluctantly, then climbed out the window and left.

"...You go out too."

The young man was weak and easily tired to begin with, and after what happened tonight, he felt extremely sad. He lowered his eyes and drove the man away.

Xie He refused to leave, so the emperor came closer and asked, "Did your wound feel itchy just now?"

"..."

Xie He pulled out an exquisite sandalwood box from his sleeve, "This is the scar removal ointment prepared by the imperial physician. Let me take a look at the wound."

Xu Bai was not happy, he just wanted to be alone and quiet for a while, but Xie He's gaze was as real as substance, staring into the flesh whenever he saw it. Then the rounded shoulders were revealed, and Xie He finally saw the wound again.

It is not that scary anymore, but it still looks abrupt and cut on the delicate skin. Part of the scab has fallen off, and the new flesh that has grown is pink and tender, but there is already a little brown sediment around it.

It didn't hurt when the rough fingertips pressed on him, but Xu Bai felt psychologically uncomfortable. He wanted desperately to stay away from Xie He, but he didn't even have a reason.

Maybe some spices were added to the cream. Xu Bai thought: Why do they always give me a little honey-like tenderness when I am disappointed?

……

Liu Er looked at the jumping numbers on the panel and the ooc curve that showed no signs of turning red, and finally couldn't help asking, "Why don't you have ooc yet?"

Xu Bai: [Huh?]

Liu Er: [According to the plot, Gu Nian should be disheartened at this time. ]

Xu Bai: [Yes, I am already discouraged. ]

[Then why didn't you run?] Liu Er threw away all the melon seeds, [According to the information I found in the past two days, you should have been discouraged and tried to commit suicide, and then finally died and dealt a heavy blow to the male protagonist!]

[……] Xu Bai popped out six points, [What information are you looking for? ]

["Don't Run Away, My Dear Wife: The Domineering President Loves Me Hard", "Strategies for Dear Wife", "Marriage First, Love Later: Mr. Fu's Secret Bride", "Pure Girl: Cinderella Meets Love Around the Corner"...] Cover after cover left Xu Bai speechless. He held it in for a long time before he uttered, "Be good, promise me, don't read this kind of information in the future."

"Distracted?"

His chin was lifted up and the young master met a pair of eyes.

Xie He was observing him all the time, and when he saw Xu Bai's lips slightly raised, he couldn't help but pinch his chin and forced him to look at him.

As the eyelashes fluttered, Xie He discovered that there seemed to be a lot of worries in those eyes, but when he stared at them, the emotions gradually faded away and returned to calmness.

Xie He helped him put his clothes in place, and then touched his face. "Do you believe the dream you just told me?"

It's meaningless whether you believe it or not.

The young man tugged at his belt without saying a word.

Xie He realized that the young master had changed a lot quietly. He used to think that "not growing up" was a curse, but now, Xie He missed the time when Gu Nian was so simple that she was almost stupid.
