Days and nights of pursuit of Dottore

Although he said he would stay here tonight, his feet had already started to walk out quietly.

Cheng Yan's movements were so obvious that even a blind person could see them, and Morax touched his forehead.

"Who are you hanging out with outside every day?" How come you're becoming more and more stupid.

Morax wanted to pry open Cheng Yan's head to see what was inside. He used to be a very smart person, but why did his ability to take care of himself seem to have become worse after going out?

"I...of course I hang out with smart people, super smart people who are smarter than two of me put together."

Cheng Yan raised two fingers seriously, the image of Zandik appeared in his mind, and he nodded more confidently.

"Lord Emperor, I am very good at the School of Teachings. I am the favorite student of their dean."

Although this is the majority of the reason why I like Li Zhuofeng.

The second half of the sentence Morax believes that Cheng Yan has this kind of charm, which makes everyone who knows him or not like him, but the first half of the sentence...

"Do you think Ruota is smart?"

Morax didn't quite believe the word "smart" that Cheng Yan said.

Cheng Yan immediately shook his head, "Not smart! Tuozi is not as smart as me, he is just a big guy with a head full of muscles!"

Cheng Yan was so excited that he seemed to be about to kick Ruo Tuo if he were standing in front of him.

He couldn't help but be angry. If it weren't for Ruo Tuo, the affair between him and Jin Peng would never have been discovered by the Emperor.

Morax pressed Cheng Yan's head to calm his agitated emotions. He shouldn't have asked that question. His serious attempt to see who was smarter had already exposed Cheng Yan's true nature.

"Aren't you going to see Guizhong?"

Holding the person in his arms, Morax felt the warmth he had not felt for a long time.

Cheng Yan pursed his lips slightly and leaned on Morax's shoulder, "I'm afraid that once I see Master, I won't want to leave."

He hasn't finished any of his tasks. Zanzan's favorability is rising so slowly, and there are few emergency tasks. He doesn't know when he can complete this stage of the strategy.

"Then I won't leave."

Morax put his arm around his shoulders, seemed to agree with Cheng Yan's words, and spoke softly.

Cheng Yan reached down and held Morax's hand. "Lord Emperor, I have important things to do. I have to leave here for a while, but Lord Emperor, believe me. Liyue and everyone in Liyue are the most important to me. I will come back immediately after I finish what I need to do."

I will bring Zazan back to see the master when the time comes, but I have to do the work of Emperor Jun and Jin Peng first.

Thinking of this, Cheng Yan began to have a headache. He couldn't take care of two people at the same time, let alone three people... especially that person was Zazan, he was afraid that they would fight.

Morax lowered his eyes and looked at him, without asking what Cheng Yan was going to do.

"Don't be brave."

After hearing the words, Cheng Yan realized that it was Morax who spoke.

"When you encounter something you can't solve, don't be stubborn."

Morax's eyes were serious, he knew Cheng Yan's personality, he seemed careless and non-serious on weekdays, but when encountering things he always liked to keep them in his heart, sometimes he would not even tell Cheng Yan the end.

Morax is not afraid of trouble. He is just afraid that Cheng Yan will encounter trouble without saying anything and just grit his teeth and hold on.

He raised his hand and stroked Cheng Yan's delicate cheek, which felt soft and smooth as usual.

"You have someone you can rely on." Like me, like Guizhong, like everything in Liyue.

Cheng Yan's pupils shrank, and after a moment, he smiled and raised his hand to hold Morax's hand.

"I appreciate your concern, Lord Emperor. I haven't run into any trouble yet. If I do, I will come back to you without hesitation to ask you to help me."

This short sentence left a heavy weight in Cheng Yan's heart. No one had ever said this to him before.

In the world before, there was only himself and his younger brother who needed his care. He had to pay a huge price to get the sympathy and help from those important figures. Cheng Yan had seen too many people who were like moths to a flame, and he himself had even been one of them.

But he was lucky, because he didn't put out a fire, but a lamp, a lamp that could illuminate him.

Closing his eyes tightly to blink away the memories of the past, Cheng Yan forced himself to divert his attention. He had already decided to stay here, hadn't he? All the things in the past had nothing to do with who he was now.

"Master Emperor, what you said makes me want to cry."

Cheng Yan buried his head to hide his red eyes, "I've decided, I won't leave tonight, call Jin Peng over, I'll sleep with you two."

The warm atmosphere was broken by Cheng Yan's words, and Morax immediately raised his hand and grabbed Cheng Yan's cheek.

"Can you say that again?"

Cheng Yan managed to mutter, "I poked it, Master Jijun..."

"That's a nice thought."

Morax was so angry that he wanted to laugh. Cheng Yan was really fearless in front of him now.

Seeing that he was standing with his hands behind his back and ignoring him, Cheng Yan approached him like a flatterer, "My Lord Emperor, I was just kidding you. How about this, I'll go see Jin Peng now, and I'll be back in an hour, and then accompany you, Lord Emperor, and leave again late at night?"

Morax didn't look at him, just stared out the window and spoke indifferently.

"Since you are so busy, you don't need to worry about this place."

The room became as cold as an ice cellar because of this sentence.

Cheng Yan rubbed his arms, looked at Morax's back, and said with no desire to live, "Then Lord Emperor, wait for me. I will be back after I see Jin Peng."

He disappeared from the room as soon as he finished speaking, leaving Morax with a slightly stiff body.

...It's really the opposite.
