After I traveled through the book, I gained a humanoid pendant

Xi Zhenghe stood up but did not move.

"Ha, that's it..." Zhu Can tried to save face while feeling that his words were too frivolous, as if they were no different from what Wang Cheng said before.

Thinking of Wang Cheng, Zhu Can also thought of the hot object in the room, and said, "It's nothing good, I'll take you to the study..."

"Let's go."

Xi Zhenghe walked closer to Zhu Can and said, "I also have something I want to tell you."

Zhu Can's heart skipped a beat. He looked up and saw Xi Zhenghe staring straight at him with a pair of dark, heavy eyes.

Zhu Can forgot what he was saying, and with a grunt, he started walking up. As he walked, his mind was busy, replaying the same thought over and over again.

This guy is going to confess his love. What should I do later? Dad will beat me to death if he knows I have a boyfriend. I really can't get married in this life. I have to coax Dada and get married first. I wonder if Xi Zhenghe, with his looks, will be snatched away by Mrs. Zhu and reap the benefits...

A series of questions without any punctuation marks.

Due to the overwhelming amount of information, Zhu Can was careless and almost fell down in the home he had walked for more than ten years. Fortunately, Xi Zhenghe, who was following behind, helped him up. Zhu Can's hand was quickly withdrawn. At this moment, Zhu Can suddenly thought of the saying "The closer you are to home, the more timid you feel."

Walking through the corridor, Zhu Can opened the door of his bedroom. There was an inner and outer dressing room. On the left outside was a treasure cabinet and bookshelves, on the right was a small cloakroom, and behind the screen inside was his big bed.

Big bed, big bed, big bed, big bed...

Zhu Can stood still and looked back at Xi Zhenghe, who was standing at the door. He took a quick look around the bedroom before stepping in.

As soon as he entered, he closed the door behind him.

Zhu Can's face turned red, he swallowed his saliva, and sat down on the chair next to the Treasure Pavilion. There was also a seat opposite him. Xi Zhenghe walked over but did not sit down.

"Xi... Doctor Xi."

Zhu Can cleared his mouth and saw that the other party was just looking at the exhibits on the Treasure Pavilion row by row, so he began to introduce them slowly as the host.

Jade from the West City, leather-handled knives from the North, paintings from England, and so on. Zhu Can wanted to talk longer and delay the conversation, although he didn't know what he was delaying.

Xi Zhenghe, who had been talking until his mouth was dry and had said he had something to say, held up a finger after entering the room without opening his mouth.

"What is that?"

When Zhu Can turned around, he saw a box placed neatly in front of his fingertips. The thing inside was the problematic Buddha head that he had obtained from Wang Cheng.

"That is……"

Zhu Can did not hesitate and was about to make up a lie when Xi Zhenghe said:

"It's placed under the bookshelf, closest to the inner room, and it's packed in a box. Is this the wonderful thing Young Master Zhu just mentioned?"

Zhu Can hesitated for a moment, but chose to continue lying: "No, just some of my mother's things."

When it comes to elders of the opposite sex, it is not appropriate to explore further. Xi Zhenghe said "hmm" and said sorry. Zhu Can scratched his face and did not want to continue the previous introduction. The scene was a little awkward for a while.

"Well, Doctor Xi, you said you had something to say..."

Xi Zhenghe let out a light breath, pulled a chair and sat opposite Zhu Can.

Zhu Can subconsciously sat up straight, their knees almost touching.

"Congratulations, young master."

Zhu Can made a confused "ang" sound, and regretted it immediately after he made the sound, as if he had just made a cow's cry.

"I'm sorry about what happened before."

A question mark popped up in Zhu Can’s head.

Xi Zhenghe's jaw was tense, his eyes were serious, and his gaze was straight ahead. Zhu Can recalled that they seldom looked at each other like this. Doctor Xi always liked to look in other directions, perhaps at the trees, the road, or the sky in the distance, and was never willing to look into his eyes.

In today's brief meeting, the two of them had looked into each other's eyes without reservation many times.

"What are you...sorry for?"

"A lot of things."

Zhu Can's mind was filled with questions. Was he already married? Had he, unknowingly, become the third party destroying someone else's marriage? Was he and the honest Yi Shan a couple, and was he going to be "kindly rejected"?

At this moment, Zhu Can felt like an ignorant husband whose wife suddenly confessed to having an affair, and he was completely cuckolded. He was completely confused.

"for example……"

"I was the one who beat you that night."

……

Zhu Can suspected that there was something wrong with his ears and exclaimed, "Ah!"

Xi Zhenghe's expression relaxed a little, and he finally said what he had buried for a long time. The rest of the secret came out of his mouth with extraordinary ease.

"I didn't mean to."

Zhu Can's brain finally began to process the information. "But, Doctor Xi, even if it was just to meet me, you don't have to be so cruel..."

Xi Zhenghe was stunned for a moment, then explained slowly, "It was urgent at the time..."

"I……"

Zhu Can finally came to his senses. It was not what he thought, that the other person deliberately attacked him because of an encounter. It was obvious that something had happened to him, and he, a passerby, happened to be hit by the stick in order to keep it secret.

Zhu Can's face flushed red, not only because of the long string of unrelated thoughts he had just had, but also because of the anger at having to wait so long to find out the truth.

"Master Zhu, at that time..."

Zhu Can took a quick breath and looked at the person in front of him. At least he didn't lose his composure on the spot.

Xi Zhenghe had always been open and honest, and having concealed the truth for so long was already painful. He didn't care about the other person's expression at the moment. "Someone was trying to capture... my friend, and I needed to help him escape. I didn't have the right clothes. You were passing by at the time, and your height was about the same as my friend's..."

"So I was hit by a club."

Zhu Can closed his eyes slightly, his eyelashes stretched very long, and leaned back a little against the chair. The redness on his face faded away in a few moments.

"And there's that Xiaomei and Meixianer from the opera troupe."

Zhu Can simply closed his eyes and slowly recalled that although the actors on the stage at that time were beautiful women, they were not short in stature and seemed taller than the martial artists next to them. Therefore, when they sang, they always took half a step back in order to make the combination more harmonious.

"It was you who did it too. That guy is tall, right?"

"He stole the clothes and changed into them to escape the pursuit. Later, he felt bad about it, so he changed back into the doctor's clothes when he was free. Did you pick me up?"

Xi Zhenghe knew that Zhu Can was a smart man, and he immediately explained most of the process. He no longer tried to hide it, but just nodded and then shook his head.

Zhu Can saw that the other party was nodding and shaking his head, like a lucky cat with a broken part. He paused and spoke in a much calmer tone.

"...Don't think I'll let you off easily just because you act cute."

Xi Zhenghe:?
