Starting from a thatched cottage, the farmer embarked on the road to wealth through imperial examina

"Ye Changyan, are you afraid of showing your flaws to others?"

Liang Jingcheng lay on the bed, his head supported by one hand, staring at Ye Changyan with a playful look on his face.

Liang Jingcheng's sudden words petrified Ye Changyan.

Liang Jingcheng actually mistook his inexplicable nervousness as a physical defect. His imagination is really amazing.

"You really take my kindness for granted. I was afraid you were thirsty, so I went to get you some water, but you teased me like this."

Ye Changyan glanced at Liang Jingcheng helplessly and put the cup on the stool in front of the bed.

Ye Changyan, who was about to take off his clothes, saw Liang Jingcheng staring at him. He glared at him, turned around slightly, and faced Liang Jingcheng with his back.

"Are you still shy? We are all grown men, there is nothing to be shy about."

As he said that, Liang Jingcheng climbed up from the bed, reached out to pick up the cup on the stool, took a sip of water, and watched with interest Ye Changyan taking off his clothes shyly.

Ye Changyan took off his long gown and thin jacket, and then took off his outer trousers and middle shirt, leaving only his inner shirt and undershirt. Then he turned around and saw Liang Jingcheng, who was holding his head with one hand, staring at him.

"I didn't find any flaws. Come up quickly. The quilt is warm for you. It's a cold autumn night. Don't catch a cold."

As he said this, he laughed. Ye Changyan no longer cared about being shy. He lifted the quilt and got into bed.

Suddenly, a warm feeling went straight to my heart.

The bed in Wulang's room was three feet two inches wide and five feet seven inches long, which was equivalent to a one meter two meter wide and one meter nine meter long bed in his previous life.

With Ye Changyan's current height of about 1.7 meters, sleeping on a bed of this size is just right. But Liang Jingcheng is over 1.8 meters tall, so sleeping on this bed is a bit cramped.

Liang Jingcheng could only curl up slightly. Since the bed was only one meter and two meters wide, his curled legs stretched to Ye Changyan's side, right next to Ye Changyan's feet.

The other person's cold feet pressed against his own, causing Ye Changyan to lie there stiffly, unable to move.

"Ye Changyan, why are your feet so warm?"

Ye Changyan was lying on his side with his face facing the bed. Suddenly, Liang Jingcheng's voice rang in his ears, giving Ye Changyan a fright.

"Every night before going to bed, my family would boil ginger water and soak our feet. This ginger water can not only drive away the cold and wind, but also calm the mind and relieve fatigue. It seems that you didn't soak your feet properly just now, so your feet are so cold."

Ye Changyan calmed down for a moment before answering.

"Your family is really nice. Your parents are harmonious, your brothers and sisters are well-behaved. Although your family is a little poor, you live a very happy and peaceful life."

Liang Jingcheng has followed his teacher since he was young, and grew up in the company of his teacher, his teacher's wife, and his senior brothers. He has a weak affection for his parents and siblings. Seeing everyone from the Ye family today, Liang Jingcheng is very envious.

"What's your rank in the family?"

After hearing what Liang Jingcheng said, Ye Changyan was somewhat curious about what kind of family environment Liang Jingcheng grew up in, but he was afraid that asking too directly would appear impolite, so he asked about his ranking in the family.

"I was born in a large family. My grandfather alone had three sons and four daughters. My eldest uncle had five cousins. My second uncle had an eldest cousin and six cousins. My father had two sisters and four brothers. I am the nineteenth child in the family."

Liang Jingcheng described his huge family without any emotion.

Ye Changyan was also a little shocked when he heard Liang Jingcheng's statement. Liang Jingcheng's grandfather alone had nineteen grandchildren. It was really a huge family.

Just as Ye Changyan was amazed, he heard Liang Jingcheng speak again.

"I have been a disciple of my teacher since I was young. I am very unfamiliar with my home. I have lived with my teacher, his wife, and five senior brothers since I was young. It can be said that I was raised by my teacher. After my teacher passed away, several senior brothers also entered the government. I followed my teacher to travel around to study."

Ye Changyan fell silent for a moment. He didn't expect that a child born in a large family would have such a growth experience. He was not with his parents since he was a child, and his parents had little affection for him. Fortunately, he met a good teacher and a teacher's wife who loved him. This might be a kind of compensation from God to Liang Jingcheng.

"So, you can call me Jujiu Lang or Liu Lang."

Liang Jingcheng actually prefers others to call him Liang Liulang. On the one hand, he is the sixth among the men in the clan, but deep down he identifies himself more as the sixth disciple of his teacher.

"Ye Changyan, are you asleep?"

Seeing that Ye Changyan did not respond for a long time, Liang Jingcheng patted Ye Changyan's shoulder, leaned close to Ye Changyan's ear, and asked softly.

Suddenly, a gust of warm wind blew by his ears, and Ye Changyan felt numb all over. He turned around and saw Liang Jingcheng's big watery eyes staring at him from a fist's distance.

"I thought you were bored and fell asleep."

Liang Jingcheng saw Ye Changyan turned around, so he lay down again. However, Ye Changyan felt his ears burning for some reason, and then he glanced at Liang Jingcheng who was lying beside him.

"I envy you for being able to be accepted into such a school, with a knowledgeable teacher, a loving mistress, and a pampering brother. Isn't this a thousand times better than living in a large family, playing with hawks and walking dogs all day long?"

But Liang Jingcheng smiled twice and continued speaking.

"The teacher and his wife loved each other all their lives, but they had no children. Once upon a time, his wife even thought about taking a concubine for the teacher, hoping to leave him with a son or a daughter to carry on the family line."

Ye Changyan felt Liang Jingcheng sigh, and then listened to him continue speaking.

"The teacher decisively refused, holding me, who was still young, and pointed at several senior brothers around him, and said to the master's wife, "With these six disciples, do you and I worry about not having incense in Jiuquan in the future?"

Liang Jingcheng didn't know why he would speak out the thoughts that had been accumulating in his heart for many years in front of Ye Changyan, a person he had just met. Feeling the warmth coming from Ye Changyan's feet, Liang Jingcheng actually felt a little dry in the mouth and sweaty.

"Ye Changyan, why are you so hot? I can even feel a layer of sticky sweat on my underwear."

Ye Changyan also felt a little hot. The two young men were already hot-tempered, and sleeping in the same bed, he actually had beads of sweat on his body.

Liang Jingcheng came out from the quilt and began to take off his shirt. Seeing Ye Changyan still covered in the quilt, he shook Ye Changyan's shoulders.

"Hurry up and take off your underwear, otherwise it will be soaked with sweat and you will catch a cold."

Seeing Ye Changyan holding the quilt tightly and not moving, Liang Jingcheng pulled open the quilt.

Ye Changyan's quilt was lifted up, and he jumped up and stretched out his hand to pull Liang Jingcheng. As luck would have it, he grabbed the bright red spot on Liang Jingcheng's chest and abdomen. He felt a smooth feeling in his palm, and his face turned red to his ears.
