The dead general was kidnapped by his husband and taken to farm.

It was raining outside and the wind was still a bit cool, but the man's body was so hot that it felt scalding.

Jiang Shian could feel the warmth from Ji Yinghuai's chest flowing towards him.

Their knees touched each other. Jiang Shian pursed his lips and moved slightly to the empty space, but was then pushed closer by the man again.

Ji Yinghuai was taller than him, and his build was much broader and stronger than his. When squeezed together like this, he felt as if his entire body was nestled in the arms of the man behind him.

Jiang Shian licked his lower lip, feeling a little uncomfortable. This distance seemed too close, making him feel uneasy as if he was being stared at by a wild beast.

The clothes on both of them were washed with soap at home, and they all smelled the same. However, Ji Yinghuai always felt that the boy in his arms had a faint fruity fragrance, like plums, which was a bit sour when biting the skin, but immediately turned sweet when touching the flesh.

He almost uncontrollably and greedily leaned towards Jiang Shian's neck and took a deep breath.

After a while, he lowered his head slightly and placed it on Jiang Shian's shoulder.

Feeling the boy's body stiffen in his arms, but not pushing him away, Ji Yinghuai relaxed and leaned on Jiang Shian's shoulder.

"Shi An, the rabbits we raised at home have grown up. Do you want to sell them or keep them for yourself? If you want to eat wild game, I will go to the mountains to hunt them for you tomorrow, okay?"

"Oh..., okay... okay!" Jiang Shian responded stutteringly.

Then he raised his hand and scratched his ear. When the man spoke, his breath sprayed on his ear, burning and a little itchy.

He always felt that the other party did it on purpose. When speaking normally, the hot air would be directed forwards, but why did it go towards his ears?

He didn't know what Ji Yinghuai wanted to do, but he felt inexplicably nervous.

Ji Yinghuai's smile deepened, and his hands became a little dishonest. He carefully wrapped his arms around Jiang Shian's waist and pulled him into his arms.

But before he could tighten the circle, Jiang Shian struggled and slapped the back of his hand.

Thinking Jiang Shian was unwilling, his body stiffened for a moment, and a bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Just as I was about to withdraw my hand, I heard the boy mutter, "Too intimate, I'm a little uncomfortable with it, can we take it slow?"

His bitter heart felt as if someone had stuffed a spoonful of honey into it, so sweet that he couldn't believe what he had just heard.

Ji Yinghuai said nothing. He thought about this sentence carefully and analyzed it for a long time before he finally spoke in disbelief.

"Shi'an, you...what do you mean? Do you know me?" His Adam's apple rolled up and down, his eyes fell on Jiang Shi'an's red earlobe, and he finally said the rest of the words: "I like you, I like you, I want to be with you--"

"I know." Jiang Shi'an's face flushed. He was afraid that the man would say something that would not pass the review, so he quickly interrupted him.

He is not stupid, the man cared for him, and at first he might have done it to repay him for saving his life. But how can you repay a life-saving favor like this?

He was not feeling well, so he slept with him all night and took care of him. In modern times, it would be fine, they were good brothers and good roommates. But this was ancient times, and the two of them were of different status, so men were not allowed to touch each other.

He was unwilling to take the medicine, so I had to coax him, persuade him, and threaten him, and I even had to bring him candy every time I went out.

There are many other very small and detailed things.

The most obvious point is that it would be strange if he hadn't noticed Ji Yinghuai's attitude towards him and others.

If he still doesn’t realize that a man might be in love with him and his brotherhood has turned into gay love, then he is a fool.

He is not very clear about his feelings now, but at least he doesn't feel disgusted when Ji Yinghuai gets close to him or does intimate things like brushing his hair.

Ji Yinghuai was jealous of Liu Chengqi and said those sour words before. It is undeniable that he felt a little happy in his heart when he knew that the other party cared about him and was jealous.

But it's still a bit messy now, and it may take two days to tidy it up.

He had never dated in his previous life, and he didn't know what it felt like to like someone. If he could find someone who treated him sincerely and with whom he could live a simple and happy life in this ancient time, he would be willing to take a step forward.

Jiang Shian moved to the side and withdrew from Ji Yinghuai's arms. It seemed a bit weird that he was still in his arms while talking about this topic.

Ignoring the man's burning gaze, he pursed his lips, looked up at Ji Yinghuai's eyes, and spoke after a moment of deliberation: "I'm not stupid, how can I not feel it? I... I just haven't thought about it yet, you, please let me think about it..."

"Is it okay?" After he finished speaking, he observed Ji Yinghuai's expression.

There was only joy and surprise on Ji Yinghuai's face. He was happy because he didn't expect that he would know that. He didn't feel lonely or sad, which made him feel relieved.

Ji Yinghuai nodded repeatedly. This was truly an unexpected surprise. Not to mention considering it, he had already thought about what to do if he was rejected.

At worst, you can just shamelessly continue to stick together, see each other every day, and make your presence felt in front of the boy. As time goes by, you will fall in love with him, and one day you will fall in love with him.

But he didn't expect that the surprise would come so quickly. Not only did she not reject him directly, but she also said that she would consider it. This meant that she had a good impression of him, and it was only a matter of time before she would consider it. He believed that Jiang Shian would definitely agree.

"Okay." He nodded, paused, and said with a smile: "But Shi An, you have to give me a deadline, how long do you need to consider it?"

Jiang Shian tilted his head and thought seriously. He had been so busy these days that he couldn't even take care of himself, let alone think about these things.

He hesitated again and again, "Is ten days okay?"

"Okay." Ji Yinghuai nodded. It was only ten days. After all, it was a matter of a lifetime, so he should think it through carefully.

The carriage fell silent again for a moment, and the only sound was the clatter of horse hooves outside.

Jiang Shian sat up straight, lifted the curtain and looked out. The rain had subsided and more people were walking on the street. Then he stared at the top of the carriage in a daze, not looking at Ji Yinghuai.

He actually wanted to ask Ji Yinghuai when he fell in love with him? Why did he like him? He felt that he was nothing special.

Maybe… He touched his chin with his fingers. This face was too pretty. Was he tempted by her beauty? This was not right. The man’s previous identity was not simple. He must have seen all kinds of beauties. How could he be so vulgar? Just because of a face.

By the way, Jiang Shian clapped his hands in his heart. It must be because he saved the man. It is said that a life-saving grace should be repaid with one's body. In addition, they have been together for such a long time, so it is very likely that they fell in love with each other.

As he thought about it, he was troubled again. Did he like Ji Yinghuai? He didn't feel disgusted by the man's touch and the intimacy of his words. He was touched by the other party's care. He felt sorry for Ji Yinghuai because the man took care of him all night...

Jiang Shian shook his head, confused himself. Never mind, there are still ten days left, so he can just treat these few days as a boyfriend testing period.

"puff…"

A muffled laugh suddenly came from the side. He turned his head and saw that Ji Yinghuai's face, which was usually cold, was smiling brightly at this time, and there seemed to be tiny lights flashing in his eyes.

The man's smile made him stunned. Ji Yinghuai was handsome, but because he was usually serious and had a terrifying aura, many people ignored his appearance.

With just this smile, all the coldness disappeared, and the aura turned gentle. When those eyes stared at you, it was as if you were the only one in his eyes and heart.

Jiang Shian opened his mouth and wondered why he didn’t feel like he was still obsessed with looks in modern times.

Ji Yinghuai had been observing his reactions. He saw the young man frowning, thinking hard, and then smiling. Whatever he was thinking was all revealed on his face.

He thought it was too cute and couldn't help laughing out loud. He thought the boy would be annoyed with him, but he didn't expect him to just stare at him blankly.

Jiang Shian seemed to be stunned and did not move.

Ji Yinghuai raised the corner of his mouth, and while he was still in a daze, he stretched out his hand and gently stroked his cheek, deliberately tempting him to speak: "Is it so beautiful? It actually made Shi An stunned!"

Jiang Shian nodded, and saw the man's gentle smile turn into a teasing smile, and he suddenly came to his senses.

He glared at Ji Yinghuai in shame and anger, then he turned his gaze away and said deliberately, "Humph! What's so good about it? It's just a pair of eyes, two nostrils, and a mouth."

Ji Yinghuai found it interesting, or annoying. The boy didn't look angry at all, his ears were red, and his tone was soft, not angry, but more like a spoiled child.

He wanted to tease her for a while longer, but he had no status at the moment. If he really pissed her off, he would only regret it.

So he dropped the topic and asked, "What else do we need to buy?"

Jiang Shian stretched out his hands and fanned his cheeks. "I want to buy a big pot. The kitchen on the side where you live is still empty. The old things have been packed up. The stove can be used, but there is no pot."

Ji Yinghuai lifted the curtain and looked out. The rain had subsided, and the carriage was moving slowly on the street. Thinking about the location of the iron shop, he stretched out his hand, pulled the reins, and drove the carriage towards the iron shop.
