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

Xu Bai cried even harder, as if he wanted to cry out all the grievances he had accumulated. His eyelids were swollen, his face was flushed, and his body was completely thrown into Qi Xiuran's arms.

How could Qi Xiuran bear this? The person in his arms was the one he loved. In the past, he would feel distressed if he frowned.

"Stop crying, don't cry..." Qi Xiuran felt sad and bitter. He originally wanted to ask the young master what he had experienced, but looking at the current situation, it was better not to touch his sad memories.

The boy, who was crying till he could only sob and could not speak clearly, grabbed his sleeve and said, "...will you really, really take me away?" His eyes were swollen, but the glittering hope in them was very obvious.

"Of course!" He raised his hand, "I, Qi Xiuran, will definitely take my brother Gu Nian away from the palace, otherwise God will punish me--"

"Don't say it!" Xu Bai stretched out his hand and stood on tiptoe to cover his lips. His soft palm touched and gently covered his lips. The boy seemed very happy, but tears still rolled down his eyes. "Don't say it... I believe you."

Xu Bai: [Qi Xiuran is a good person. If he were in real life, he would be a good marriage partner.]

Liu Er: [It’s a pity that he doesn’t have a favorability bar. ]

【Oh. 】

This reply surprised the advanced system. It originally thought that Xu Bai was going to argue with him, but it didn't expect it to end like this.

"We stayed for too long." Qi Xiuran wiped the tears from the young master's eyes again. Now that he had finally found the young master, he felt so soft in his heart, but he also knew that if he stayed any longer, it would be bad if he was discovered. So he suppressed his reluctance and said, "Don't cry. I promise you can see me every day."

When Qi Xiu Ran was very young, he treated the young lady as his wife, his only wife.

When Xiao Dezi came out, he was respectful again. Xiao Guizi came up to him and asked quietly, "Did the master give you a reward?" He sighed, "Yes, we servants have to be brave... After this incident, I have to ask Master Dezi to take care of me more in the future."

Qi Xiuran answered casually, but he was still thinking about Xu Bai.

……

Su Shi actually started to prepare for the worst. He dismissed half of his servants and gave each of them three taels of silver.

Miss Wang, who had become Mrs. Su, was already angry, and she couldn't stand Su Shi's behavior. She pointed at Su Shi and asked, "What on earth are you doing!"

She was the legitimate daughter and was supposed to be chosen to enter the palace, but she risked her whole life to ask her father for a marriage so that she could avoid entering the palace.

"Su Shi!" She was so angry that her whole body was shaking, and her voice was filled with tears. "You want me to die, right?"

During the first two days after their marriage, her mother secretly showed her Su Shi's portrait. At just one glance, her cheeks flushed with joy. She thought the man in the painting was gentle and humble. She had hoped to live an equal life with him, but she didn't expect that he would not even touch her, let alone care about her.

After several days, Wang Mingzhu could no longer bear it and finally exploded.

"I'm so sorry, Miss Wang."

Ever since he met Xu Bai yesterday and said "I don't want the jade", Su Shi suddenly figured out a lot of things - he had fallen in love with the boy.

Perhaps at a certain moment, perhaps it was the moment when he held the boy in his arms under the pavilion while hiding from the rain, in short, he could no longer hurt him.

He didn't know when the knife that was originally pointed at Xu Bai was now pointed at him. Fortunately, it was not too late to realize it now. Besides, even if he didn't want the Su family... he wouldn't end up on the streets.

[Su Shi’s Favorability: 93]

Liu'er set off a small firework in his head to celebrate.

Xu Bai said that three seconds was too short, and asked for a longer one, preferably thicker and longer, and then he got a faint reply, "It's originally this short."

?

Apart from those useless information about "he runs away, he is chased, he can't escape even if he has wings", did Liu'er secretly read something else?

Xie He still came to Xu Bai every day. The women who had just been selected to enter the palace and were eager to try sensed the danger, and wanted to "encounter" him by chance one by one, but were turned back. They were unwilling but had no choice but to curse Xu Bai in their own palace.

Xiao Tao got used to Xie He coming over every day. She became calmer and no longer seemed at a loss as to what to do with Xie He.

"Sir, His Majesty is here."

Xie He came here this time for something. There was a flood in the southern county and people were in panic. Although the disaster relief funds had been allocated, Xie He wanted to take this opportunity to go there in person to appease the people.

"…This is a good thing."

Xie He was able to do all this, and he was already a good emperor who worked hard and loved his people.

"Nian Nian, I'm telling you this because I want you to go with me." Xie He smiled at Xu Bai's eyes, which were wide open in surprise. "There is a lake not far from this county town, and the scenery is beautiful. Besides, the season is just right now, and all the flowers are in bloom."

Xu Bai was stunned for a long time, seemingly not understanding what Xie He meant, but Xie He did not mention it again, "The date has been set, I will come to pick you up."

The young master was still a little confused. Xie He smiled softly, came up and kissed Xu Bai's trembling eyelashes openly.

"Are you hungry?"

Liu Er: [It seems like the marriage partner is about to break up. ]

It was talking about Qi Xiuran, who was waiting at the door with the dishes in his hand. He saw the current emperor bending over and leaning over Xu Bai to kiss him, and he almost dropped the crystal clear shrimp in his hand.

Xu Bai: [Hold on.]

Liu'er thought it was over, but he didn't expect Xie He to be so sweet and feed Xu Bai soup. The two of them were sweet and affectionate in front of the small table. Qi Xiuran clenched his fists and was about to make a sound with his teeth.

Xu Bai: [How can a relationship become more loyal without going through hardships? I have to confirm whether Brother Qi will dislike me, after all, he has no favorable impression of me. ]

“…I, I can do it myself.” As if he had just realized Xie He’s action of feeding a baby, the young master’s cheeks turned red. He took a bite of food as if to cover up, and avoided her eyes.

This look is lively and vivid.

Xie He stared at him, and his heart softened.

When the young master first came to his side, he was timid, resistant, and angry, but now he finally showed his former vitality.

Xie He breathed a sigh of relief, not realizing that this was not him taming Xu Bai, but rather that he was the one being put on the reins by Xu Bai.

……

Xie He left after finishing his meal.

"Xiao Dezi." Xu Bai called Qi Xiuran over, "The porcelain vase on the table is dirty, come and wipe it. ... Everyone else go down and have a rest."

Qi Xiuran was wiping a porcelain bottle and turned around when he heard Xu Bai calling him in a low voice.

"Xiu Ran."

The young master no longer called him brother. Did he admit that he was capable enough to protect him? Qi Xiuran's expression relaxed visibly.

"Just now...he told me that he would go to provide disaster relief in three days."

"where to?"

Xu Bai shook his head, "I don't know, he just asked me to go with him."

Qi Xiuran thought for a moment and smiled, "This is a good thing. I was worried that I would not have the chance to escape, but now it's right at my doorstep! Outside, the guards must be looser than in the palace. When the time comes, we can find an opportunity and I can take you away!"

The young master was happy at first, but then he became worried, "But...but even if we escape, where can we go?"

"Go to Jiangnan!"

Qi Xiu Ran began to tell the young master about Jiangnan, where he had traveled with his master before. He described the misty rain, the white walls and black tiles, and the rowing boats with black sails. The young master, who had never been there before, was completely fascinated and wished he could go see the green misty waves right away.
