When the book-traveling little detective meets the two-faced prince

"Lin Lezhi."

Xiao Yihuo noticed something was wrong with Lin Lezhi and shouted in a slightly hurried voice.

The moment Lin Lezhi heard Xiao Yihuo calling his name, his heart suddenly tightened and he immediately came to his senses.

In order to hide the panic in his eyes, Lin Lezhi picked up the ointment that Xiao Yihuo had placed on the ground, and then pushed Xiao Yihuo's shoulders so that Xiao Yihuo turned his back to him.

When Xiao Yihuo's body was moved, the clothes, which were not fastened at first but just casually pulled to the chest, spread out to both sides again, revealing a large area of his chest.

"You helped me apply the medicine, so we have to reciprocate, right? I'll help you apply it, so just stay still."

Although Lin Lezhi said this in a joking tone, he wanted to get along with Xiao Yihuo as usual.

嗏

Only Lin Lezhi knew in his heart that his behavior was only because he was afraid that Xiao Yihuo would discover his abnormality and he wanted to cover up his inner panic.

The heart beating tightly in my chest was like the sound of a drum.

It seemed as if it would burst out of the chest in the next second.

Fortunately.

Xiao Yihuo was still very cooperative, and even took the initiative to unbutton his clothes, revealing the abrasions on his back.

The solid back was covered with scratches.

Two days passed.

The abrasions on the back have begun to scab over due to the effects of medication and time.

Looking at the wound on Xiao Yihuo's back, and thinking of the night when the poison took effect and spread black lines on his body, Lin Lezhi's eyes darkened and were filled with hesitation.

although.

Xiao Yihuo was unwilling to explain why he fell and scraped his back that night.

But even if he didn't say it, Lin Lezhi could infer from what happened afterwards that the poison in his body must have suddenly taken effect.

otherwise……

How could Xiao Yihuo, who is a martial arts expert and has a mysophobia, accidentally fall down?

Thinking of this, Lin Lezhi suddenly felt a pang of pain in his heart, and his hand that was applying medicine to Xiao Yihuo could not help but pause for a moment. At the same time, the hesitation in his eyes became deeper.

Yes.

He clearly had severe mysophobia, clearly was feeling very uncomfortable from the effects of the poison, and clearly had a back injury, but the moment he realized there was a swamp under his feet, he pushed himself out.

Why……

Lin Lezhi couldn’t figure it out, nor did he want to figure it out.

He originally...

I want to draw a clear line between myself and Xiao Yihuo, stop there and not get too involved in his affairs.

because.

He knew very well what Xiao Yihuo would face in the future, and he knew how deep and painful Xiao Yihuo's heart was. He did not want to get involved in the court disputes, but only wanted to secretly find out the identity of the original owner.

Nan Rongyi is also good.

Jiang Lian'an is also good.

No matter who he is, he is Lin Lezhi.

After finding out the truth, he wants to live on in this world with his own identity and seek a peaceful life.

That's why he fled from Xiao Yihuo overnight.

Can……

Unconsciously, I became more entangled with him.

"what happened to you?"

Although Xiao Yihuo did not turn around, he noticed something strange about Lin Lezhi through the subtle movements of Lin Lezhi's hands, and asked.

Xiao Yihuo suddenly asked, causing Lin Lezhi to almost lose control of the ointment in his hand. He covered it up by saying, "Nothing... nothing, I'm just a little curious."

Through Xiao Yihuo's question, Lin Lezhi also realized that he was too abnormal.

Regardless of whether this is reality or not, Guan Ziheng’s death has had a great impact on him.

seem.

As soon as I calm down, I can't help but start thinking about random things.

"What are you curious about?"

"I'm curious how you are so skilled at applying medicine and bandaging it so well."

Xiao Yihuo is a prince.

It stands to reason.

There is no need for him, a prince, to do these things personally.

"When I was young, I secretly learned martial arts from my master. At the beginning, I was not proficient and often got injured. I was afraid of being discovered, so I could only avoid others and heal my injuries secretly. Over time, I became proficient."

"Oh~ So that's it."

"You've asked something similar before."

Xiao Yihuo's words made Lin Lezhi smack his lips. He didn't remember when he asked this question, and said with a stiff expression: "Ah, is... is that so?"

Xiao Yihuo did not turn around, and said slowly: "When we were on the boat, you asked me why I carried so many medicines with me."

After hearing what Xiao Yihuo said, Lin Lezhi had some impression.

While in Kangle Town, he and Xiao Yihuo encountered several abused children.

At that time, he wanted to help those children, and also wanted to take the opportunity to verify whether Xiao Yihuo and Xiao Xu were the same person, so he asked Xiao Yihuo if he had any medicine to treat external injuries.

If they were the same person, he must have been carrying the jar of medicine that he used to treat the wound on his head in Yulong Village.

But never thought.

Xiao Yihuo actually took out a bunch of medicine from his arms.

and so.

Then he asked Xiao Yihuo why a prince would carry so much medicine for treating external injuries with him.

It's the same as those who sell medicine.

in fact.

If Xiao Yihuo didn't want to admit it, he didn't have to take out so many medicines from his arms. He just needed to continue playing dumb. After all, it was impossible for him to search Xiao Yihuo's body.

Xiao Yihuo knew that he was testing him, but he still took out the medicine.

Taking out so many medicines must have been intentional, as if he was deliberately teasing me. But when he accurately took out that bottle of medicine from among the many medicines, he revealed his identity.

He didn't know what Xiao Yihuo was thinking at that time, and he didn't know what Xiao Yihuo experienced in his childhood.

That's why he asked that question, asking him why a prince carried medicine for treating external injuries with him.

But after asking, when Xiao Yihuo calmly said that he had used it when he was a child, Lin Lezhi felt that he had asked the wrong question and suddenly didn't know how to continue the conversation.

Because, although Xiao Yihuo said it calmly while looking at the lake, he did not miss the look in Xiao Yihuo's eyes and the slightly tightened fist at his side.

Then, he felt a great sense of guilt in his heart and quickly changed the subject.

perhaps……

Xiao Yihuo could have continued to play dumb, but after seeing those injured children, he thought of his own childhood experiences, and was torn between playing dumb and helping those children.

He chose the latter.

At that time, Lin Lezhi thought so.

Although Xiao Yihuo now said that he was injured because of martial arts practice, Lin Lezhi's intuition told him that the hatred that flashed in Xiao Yihuo's eyes at that time was far more than that.

However, if Xiao Yihuo didn't want to say it, he wouldn't ask.

Many things do not need to be explained one by one, just discuss the results.

Lin Lezhi said, "Oh," and said, "It seems that this did happen. I didn't expect you to have such a good memory. The medicine has been applied. You should let it air for a while before putting on your clothes."

"Compared to this." Xiao Yihuo said, turning back to look at Lin Lezhi, with curiosity and inquiry in his eyes, and raised one of his eyes slightly, saying: "I also have something curious to ask you."

"What...what happened?"

There was no time to avoid the sight, Lin Lezhi's heart was beating fast, and he responded without confidence.

Xiao Yihuo narrowed his eyes slightly, which made Lin Lezhi feel uneasy. Just when Lin Lezhi wanted to avoid his gaze, Xiao Yihuo raised the corner of his mouth and said, "What do you mean by the setting you just mentioned?"
