Jin An's face showed an unprecedented seriousness, which made Yun Ji vaguely feel that something was wrong.

Jinan has always been casual about things, and he will only take them seriously when it comes to Yunting.

But the strange thing is that Jinan's request to him was just some changes in appearance and behavior, which had nothing to do with Yun Ting.

What exactly made Jinan so on high alert?

What dangers are there in the things Jinan mentioned that are worth Jinan's keeping secrets in exchange?

"The 'rules of the game' you set," Yun Ji wanted to get to the bottom of it, staring at Jin An's eyes and asking, "Will they be disadvantageous to me?"

Jin An did not give a direct answer. He rolled his eyes and said vaguely: "There is no harm, only benefits. You will know if you do it."

Yun Ji couldn't figure out why Jin An said "a hundred harms and no benefits", but he didn't want to ask again in a humble manner, so he became annoyed.

To calm himself, he picked up the cup on the table and swallowed the tea in one gulp.

The tea was poured by Lan Fu when he got up this morning. It was already cold. When it entered his mouth, it was like a piece of ice, chilling his throat all the way down to his heart and lungs.

The throat that was hoarse from coughing was moistened, but the lower abdomen, which had been noisy since this morning and had just calmed down a little, unfortunately began to ache slightly.

The pain was like a plucked string, trembling continuously and getting more intense.

Committed to not showing weakness in front of outsiders, Yun Ji suppressed the urge to bend over and straightened his back with difficulty: "Deal."

"I always keep my promises." Jin An felt that Yun Ji looked a little doubtful, so he gave him a reassurance, "As long as you do what I say, I will help you keep it secret."

Knowing that Jin An had a strange temper but would never break his oath easily, Yun Ji opened his mouth to answer.

However, the pain in his abdomen was so severe that he couldn't move his lips. After struggling for a while, he finally uttered a weak "OK".

Thinking that Yun Ji's silence was because he was doubting the truthfulness of his words and was having a fierce ideological struggle, Jin An shrugged and gave Yun Ji additional explanation.

"We've agreed in advance that I won't tell anyone, and I won't influence when you two will meet. But if Yun Ting finds out from someone else, it's none of my business."

Yun Ji felt pain in his lower abdomen and his face lost all color. He was in so much pain that he could not make a sound. He just nodded as a response.

"Hey," even though Jin An didn't care about Yun Ji's physical condition, he felt that Yun Ji's discomfort was visible to the naked eye. He raised his hand to slap Yun Ji's face, "You look so bad."

Although he felt so uncomfortable that he didn't want to move, Yun Ji still moved his body and dodged to the side to avoid Jin An's hand.

He looked like he was seriously injured, but he was still holding on, like a ferocious beast baring its teeth at outsiders, and his whole body gave off an aura that he was not to be trifled with, as if silently declaring "Don't touch me".

"I mean well," Jin An recalled what he had learned from books these days and put it into practice. "A dog bites Lu Dongbin, but it doesn't know a good heart."

Yun Ji said nothing, as if he was lying in wait, but ready to attack at any moment.

"Oh, by the way, there is one thing you need to pay special attention to," Jin An ignored Yun Ji's resistance and added, "You must not have sex with him."

Yun Ji didn't want his innocence to be tarnished by others, so he would naturally keep a safe distance from Yun Ting without Jin An's reminder. He nodded to show that he understood.

Jin An licked the tip of the tiger's teeth with his tongue and smiled roguely: "Otherwise, the agreement is terminated, the game is over, and we'll see you in the underworld."

Yun Ji was in so much pain that he broke out in a cold sweat. He could no longer bear it. He groaned, put his hands on his lower abdomen, and slowly bent down.

"Hey, you don't look very well." Jin An felt that Yun Ji might be in danger if he left him alone, so he moved closer to Yun Ji and asked, "Do you need me to call Chen Hong over for you?"

Because of the "happy pulse" incident, Yun Ji has identified Chen Hong as his lifelong enemy. Yun Ji gritted his teeth, shook his head in hatred, and expressed his deep rejection.

Thinking about Yunji's coy look towards Nan Yingzhi, Jin An placed his fingers on the table and tapped occasionally: "Chen Hong, no, I'll ask your sweetheart to come in, okay?"

Hearing the word "sweetheart", Yun Ji's eyes changed from resolute to blurred. He closed his eyes gently, trying his best to suppress the vulnerability that was about to be revealed.

Seeing Yun Ji's struggle, Jin An laughed out loud: "Interesting, really interesting!"

Jin An's laughter was so loud and lasted so long that Nan Yingzhi, who was waiting outside, felt something was wrong.

How come it has been such a long time and I haven’t heard any movement from Yun Ji?

She paced back and forth, but couldn't help herself. She took two steps at a time and knocked on the door, shouting to Jin An inside: "Jin An, why are you laughing for so long?"

Nan Yingzhi knocked on the door, successfully stopping Jin An's laughter. He stopped laughing, and a look of envy and jealousy appeared on his face.

"The Regent King is really protective of you. He won't even let me smile for a moment," Jin An lowered his voice so that only he and Yun Ji could hear it, and said with emotion, "It would be great if Yun Ting could protect me like this someday."

Even though beads of sweat oozed from his forehead due to the pain, Yun Ji couldn't help but feel excited when he heard "The Regent really protects you."

He raised his head slightly, said "hmm" weakly, and sent a blessing to Jin An: "It will happen."

These three words were like a small needle that pierced Jin An's heart, making him feel itchy and numb.

There was an inexplicable expectation in his heart, and he felt that Yun Ting was gentle to him, which was simply a fantasy. Jin An murmured in a self-deprecating manner: "Maybe, I appreciate your good words."

After a moment's silence, Jinan regained his energy, stood up and walked out of the door with a swagger.

As soon as Jin An opened the door, Nan Yingzhi, who was guarding the door, couldn't wait and immediately looked inside the house.

Yun Ji's pale cheek was like a sharp knife, scratching Nan Yingzhi's eyes painfully.

She grabbed Jin An and said in a cold tone: "What did you do to him?"

"It's unfair, Your Majesty," Jin An raised his hands above his head in a gesture of surrender, "She just suddenly felt unwell, I didn't do anything, I even wanted to call a doctor for her, but she wouldn't let me!"

Nan Yingzhi took a glance at Yun Ji, who was lying weakly on the table, and felt pity for him.

"How can you suddenly feel uncomfortable? You must have said something to provoke him!" She caught Jin An and kept talking, "Bullying a defenseless weak woman, is that right?"

Jin An was so unsure of himself after hearing what Nan Yingzhi said, he asked Yun Ji for confirmation: "Lady Lian, did I bully you?"

The pain made Yun Ji insane. He only knew that if Nan Yingzhi came over, he wouldn't have to hold on any longer.

The river of emotions in his heart completely burst its banks. Yun Ji cast his gaze towards the palace gate, with mist in his eyes, and called Nan Yingzhi's name over and over again: "Nan Yingzhi, little Gardenia..."

His words were like feathers, soft and gentle, yet instantly touching and touching, making people's hearts soften. Even Jin An could not help but be intoxicated.

After blinking for a while, Jin An finally recovered. He wanted to yell but Yun Ji yelled at him so hard that he couldn't vent his anger. He couldn't help but mutter, "I just asked you to bear witness that I didn't bully you. Why are you yelling your own name here?"
