After my mind was read, I became the emperor's favorite

The three of them chatted awkwardly for a while, mainly Huo Le'an chatting.

'Jun Linyuan' stared at him with a death gaze, while Qi Mingze looked at the two of them a little embarrassedly.

This atmosphere is so weird no matter how you look at it.

It reminds people of the quarrel between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and the helpless situation of the son.

On one side is his lover, on the other side is his best friend. He has to choose between love and friendship. How should he choose?

Should he be an ordinary master of balancing things and get along with everyone?

But in this situation, it's better for him to keep his mouth shut.

Otherwise, he and his cousin were both weak fighters and would be killed instantly by Chengyuan.

"Hey, little cousin, Chengyuan, it's still a few hours before dinner, and I'm feeling really hungry.

I'll go eat my stomach first. I'll be waiting for you at the door on time at Youshi."

After saying that, Huo Le'an, who really couldn't continue the conversation, slipped away.

My cousin's expression was so terrifying, as if he had stolen his wife.

Uh, what a crappy metaphor. If my cousin could get a wife, his mother would wake up laughing in her dream.

A 22-year-old bachelor has probably never even touched a girl's hand.

No wonder emperors of all dynasties called themselves "the widower". His mother and the empress dowager were so worried about his marriage.

They always say that if his father were as old as Your Majesty, he would be able to help out with the cooking.

If Qi Mingze heard this, he would definitely tell him that I don’t mean to be alone.

Rather, it expresses one's lack of virtue and is a form of self-deprecation.

Unfortunately, no one knows the thoughts of Huo Le'an, this cute little guy who is neither good at literature nor martial arts, so he can only make the best of it.

[Host, I told you Huo Le'an was afraid of Yun Chengyuan, but you refused to believe me.]

The system acted arrogantly, feeling sorry for itself for being speechless before.

Qi Mingze was helpless. This poor kid's words clearly implied that it was difficult to break up a difficult situation.

I told it to save some face for my cousin, but I didn't expect the system to remember just this one sentence.

[Okay, you are right.]

Forget it, let it be. It’s a recognized fact anyway.

He also felt that his cousin was quite cowardly, for unknown reasons.

But he is not someone who likes to pry into other people's privacy, so let it be.

[Hmph.] The system finally felt proud.

That arrogant little expression is the best way to describe it as a "villain" who has succeeded.

"Mingze, I have something to give you." Jun Linyuan listened to the conversation between the two men lovingly.

Then he took out the brocade box from his arms and opened it.

Inside is a string of delicate and lustrous small-leaf red sandalwood Buddhist beads.

The red silk and purple wood make the Buddhist beads look even more exquisitely crafted.

"This is the birthday gift I prepared for you. I wonder if you like it."

Qi Mingze did not answer, but just extended his hand. This was the best answer.

[Host, it's great that so many people are thinking of you.] So it wasn't wrong for me to bring you here.

The system's faint blessing, the host has shouldered too much in the previous life.

For the first 15 years, he protected his mother in the wind and rain in the mountains.

Just imagine how hard it would be for a weak kid to protect a woman in a kidnapper's den.

After escaping the blockade, China was faced with a technological blockade. He devoted himself to the rise of China for more than ten years.

This is how it became a superpower that no one dared to provoke.

The beatings and scoldings from his adoptive father's family, the endless plots in the early days of his rise, the technological pressure from all over the world...

All this turned a host who was a bit greedy, sleepy, soft-hearted and cute into the big devil Professor Qin.

It also made him a mature, stable, reliable, unrivaled, wise and impeccable academic and scientific research leader.

But who asked the host if he was willing?

Behind the opportune moment and the trend of things, he needs to make careful plans.

Even a genius needs to put in 99% of sweat to grow into a towering tree.

What about the host who was at the top of the genius spectrum? What did he lose?

A distant mother, casual friends, and a blank emotional history.

In order to prevent others from getting hurt because of me, I have to think twice before going out.

Or you are surrounded by three layers of people inside and outside, without any freedom at all.

The system feels that things are good now. China has already stood at the top of the world, and the host has so many people who love him.

[I was pleasantly surprised. I feel like learning how to celebrate birthdays in this life is pretty good.]

Qi Mingze looked at Yitong beside him with a smile on his face. It was a smile that came from the heart.

[Host, your smile is so beautiful, please smile more in the future.] The system instantly fell into a state of infatuation.

It’s not that Qi Mingze has never smiled before, but the system always feels that this smile is particularly charming.

'Jun Linyuan' put the red sandalwood Buddhist beads on Qi Mingze's wrist, the beautiful wood matched with the creamy skin.

The wood sets off the jade-white skin, while the skin reveals the wood's gentle grace.

The two complement each other and enhance each other.

Qi Mingze gently stroked each Buddhist bead, carefully feeling the patterns on it.

"Well, the person who engraved these six-word mantra must be a decisive killer." But how could such a person engrave Buddhist scriptures?

Qi Mingze closed his eyes and stroked it carefully.

"Oh! Why does Mingze say that?" Jun Linyuan became interested.

Each Buddhist bead is made by him personally, without relying on anyone else for the entire process, from material selection, cutting, polishing to carving.

So he spent a whole month on these eighteen beads and scrapped countless amounts of red sandalwood to get these perfect works.

This contains his good wishes for Mingze.

I wish the years will be peaceful and everything will go well.

Second, I wish you a long and worry-free life, good fortune and good health.

Third, I wish you peace and joy, and may everything you desire be as you wish!

"The handwriting is like flowing clouds and running water, the brushstrokes are vigorous and powerful, without any drag, and the fine lines penetrate into the bones like an autumn eagle.

It is truly a scene of spring with dewdrops hanging down and the spirit of the broken clouds remaining.

Judging from his words, he must be a decisive and resolute leader.

......"

It might have been speculation at first, but seeing Chengyuan's interested expression and the hint of satisfaction in his eyes.

Qi Mingze has already confirmed that the maker of the Buddhist beads is the person in front of him.

Of course, he had to praise her subtly, and he had to fully support his boyfriend's secret little hobbies.

Well, he is so understanding.

The system felt that these two people were unbearable to look at. Originally, it didn't know why the host suddenly started the endless praise mode.

As a result, Yun Chengyuan's eyes were filled with pride amidst his approval, and his expression was filled with joy amidst his calmness.

It's all clear at a glance, it was simply filled with this bowl of dog food.

It's true that the pot fits the lid. These two people should be locked up right away.

"Chengyuan, I really want to meet this producer if I have the chance."

Qi Mingze's conclusion made Jun Linyuan, who was immersed in his lover's praise, believe it.

This time the system was quite cooperative and didn't make any noise. It just watched quietly as the host confused the person who had been trying to control him.

Therefore, as long as Qi Mingze doesn't hear the system's spoilers, it would be easy for him to "fool" Jun Linyuan.

It's a pity that we have such a little Huang Tong who is always ready to sabotage us, and such an incredible mind-reading plug-in.

This allowed His Majesty to easily counter the professor. This also shows that things in the world are unpredictable, and the future depends entirely on the charm created by oneself.

"There will definitely be a chance." Jun Linyuan remained calm despite Qi Mingze's sweet talk.

In fact, he has gradually lost himself, thinking in his mind how to be exposed "perfectly" in the future so as to maximize his benefits.
