Me! The cannon fodder male supporting role, it's reasonable for me to torture the protagonist t

"What did you say, Your Highness?"

The streets were noisy, and Jian Yuan did not hear Li Moci's murmurs clearly.

"Nothing." Li Moci handed the sugar painting to Jian Yuan, "You can eat it. I don't like sweet things."

Just looking at Li Moci's cold face, he doesn't seem like the kind of person who cares about food and drink.

At this moment he said that he didn't like sweets, and Jian Yuan didn't think much about it. She took the sugar painting and took a bite.

Because Jiangnan had a tradition of celebrating when students graduated from the Imperial Examination Hall, the prefect had petitioned the court several years ago to allow for no curfew in towns that night.

The lively atmosphere slowly dissipated until the second half of the night. After Li Moci sent Jian Yuan back, he couldn't sleep when he returned to the inn.

My liking for Jian Yuan came unexpectedly, and my heart started beating faster all of a sudden. I couldn't bear to speak coldly to her or ignore her.

As a prince, he could just get a woman he liked.

So when Jian Yuan expressed her love for him, he said that he would ask his father for permission to marry him after returning to Beijing.

Li Moci knew in his heart that Jian Yuan was only Jian Fan's concubine's daughter and was not worthy of the position of the prince's principal wife, but he still couldn't help but promise her to marry her.

Walking with Jian Yuan on the bustling streets, looking at her beautiful smile, he could clearly feel his heart beating.

But at the same time, he felt extremely lonely, as if he was in an empty room, and the room was being gradually eroded by darkness.

Just when he was about to be completely enveloped in darkness, he saw Jian Ran.

A glance at the window on the second floor was like a bright moon in the sky, shining a ray of silver light into the room that was about to be shrouded in darkness.

Li Moci analyzed his own psychology carefully.

He doesn't know why this happened?

His eyes fell on the candle on the table that was about to burn out, and he called for someone to come in to add lamp oil and light a few more candles.

But the light of a candle is not as bright as sunlight after all.

Moreover, this was in Jiangnan, not his palace, so there were no night-shining pearls for him to use.

At this moment, Li Moci was eager to see Jian Ran and see if she could light up his room.

"Brother, haven't you rested yet?"

At this moment, Li Mochuan's voice suddenly came from outside.

Li Moci asked the servant to open the door. Li Mochuan walked in and was surprised to see the room full of candlelight:

"Third brother, why are you lighting so many candles in the house?"

"Nothing, I just couldn't sleep and wanted to read a book." Li Moci said casually.

Seeing that he was covered in dust, she frowned and asked, "Did you just come back?"

"There is no curfew tonight. I have an appointment with Yun Yi to go to the top of the mountain to watch the sunrise. I will go out after changing clothes."

Li Mochuan said with a smile, but seeing his shy look, I’m afraid Yun Yi isn’t the only one going to watch the sunrise together.

It was obvious that Li Mochuan had other intentions. The person he really wanted to date was Jian Ran, and Yun Yi was just his shield.

Besides, if he was only going to watch the sunrise with Yun Yi, why would he come back to change his clothes? Li Mochuan didn't have a good relationship with Long Yang, so it was impossible for him to open his screen to a man.

"It just so happens that I can't sleep either. I'll go with you."

When Li Moci said this, Li Mochuan was stunned.

Then he began to regret being nosy. Seeing the candle on in Li Moci's room, it would have been better for him to pretend not to see it. Why did he come over to talk?

"What? Isn't it possible?"

"No, no, why not?" Li Mochuan quickly thought of a solution.

Since he couldn't stop Li Moci from going with them, he had to wait until they reached the top of the mountain and ask Yun Yi to help call him away, otherwise he would have no time to be alone with Jian Ran.

Li Mochuan changed his clothes and the two of them went up the mountain in a carriage.

Li Moci watched as Li Mochuan arranged fruits and snacks in the pavilion on the top of the mountain, and also warmed a pot of hot tea in a charcoal basin.

He even placed a cushion on the stone bench and did everything by himself. He did not seem like a prince but more like a waiter in a tavern.

"Do you really like her?" Do you like her so much that you would completely disregard your status as a prince and do these things for a woman?

If it was just because of the support from the Shangshu Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion, there would be no need to do this.

The marriage was a tacit agreement between the two parties. When Li Mochuan became successful in the future, the Jian family and the Yun family would be benefiting from it, which would also be beneficial to them.

"Like it."

Li Mochuan didn't notice the inquiry in Li Moci's eyes, and said bluntly: "I liked her the first time I saw her. She looks especially good when she smiles. After getting to know her, I found that she is straightforward and honest. She doesn't hide her thoughts at all. Her likes and dislikes are written on her face."

Li Moci admitted this point. Jian Ran was just a foolish beauty with no ideas or strategies.

When I liked him before, I flirted with him without any hesitation; now that I don’t like him anymore, I speak coldly to him without any attempt to hide my feelings.

In the midst of turbulent circumstances, a straightforward personality like Jian Ran is indeed likable.

At this moment, Li Moci seemed to know why he felt that Jian Ran could dispel the darkness around him.

He was attracted to Jian Yuan, but he could not deny that Jian Yuan also had plans for him.

But Jian Ran's likes and dislikes of relationships always come from her heart, not from considerations of external things.

'Da da da……'

At this time, I heard the sound of horse hooves coming from far away.

"They are coming." Li Mochuan said as he went over to help Jian Ran down from her horse. "Why aren't you taking a carriage? The mountain road is steep, and riding a horse is too dangerous."

"Just when I was about to go out, I ran into Jian Yuan. She soiled my clothes, so I had to go back and change them. It was almost too late, so my cousin said he would ride a horse up the mountain."

As Jian Ran spoke, she handed the reins to Li Mochuan, and Li Mochuan tied the horse to the tree very naturally.

After walking two steps forward, Jian Ran noticed that Li Moci was there too.

"Miss Jian." Li Moci greeted calmly.

But his eyes couldn't help but depict Jian Ran.

“Your Highness the Third Prince is also here to watch the sunrise?” He is a man who is always serious, so how could he have such leisure and elegance?

"You must be cold after riding all the way up the mountain. I warmed up some hot tea for you and put your favorite flower petals in it. Come and try it." Li Mochuan interrupted their conversation and pulled Jian Ran to the pavilion to sit down.

Li Moci concealed it very well, but Yun Yi still noticed the look he gave Jian Ran.

In the plot, Jian Ran likes Li Moci and has done everything for him but still can't win his attention. Now that she doesn't like him anymore, she has attracted his attention instead.

It's really fun.

"How is the Third Prince these days?" Yun Yi noticed Li Mochuan's look for help and walked over to ask with a smile.

"It's okay."

Cold and aloof, this is quite consistent with the impression Li Moci has always given people.

Seeing that he was about to walk towards the pavilion, Yun Yi stopped him and said, "Third Prince, please don't go over there and get in the way. Let's go sit over there?"

An eyesore?

No one had ever said that about him.

But Li Moci knew in his heart that he would indeed be an eyesore when he walked into the pavilion.
