Villain, do you remember that I am a stand-in?

It was dusk, Shen Lianting had just left when Xu Ziying came back.

The two became acquainted instantly after getting to know each other. Ji Xiaoguang half-lyed on the bed and ate grapes: "Hey, Boss Xu, it's still early, don't you want to visit the store?"

Xu Ziying rolled up his sleeves: "There are no distinguished guests visiting the humble house, so I leave work early."

Ji Xiaoguang didn't believe it, and joked, "Are you really so kind?"

Xu Ziying didn't even blink his eyes, and smiled like a flower: "That's natural."

Ji Xiaoguang: "..."

He made a gesture to smear the grape juice full of hands on the light yellow brocade quilt: "Say! How much money did Shen Lianting give you!?"

"Don't, this is a Nanling silk blanket! If you have something to say, speak up!" Xu Ziying turned pale with shock, as if his own son was about to be torn apart.

"How much money did you cheat Shen Lianting?" It was obviously a lot of money to let the stingy shopkeeper put down his work in the inn and accompany him, an idler.

"Not much, not much."

"How much!?"

Xu Ziying showed a naive smile with that beautiful face, and his five slender, jade-white fingers were slightly separated, dangling in front of Ji Xiaoguang's eyes.

Shyly said: "500 taels."

"What? 500 taels!?" Ji Xiaoguang grabbed his wrist and stared at the five fingers with cross-eyed eyes.

Xinxin Inn's daily marketing is less than 500 taels, so Xu Ziying will really take advantage of him.

But if it wasn't for Ji Xiaoguang, Shen Lianting wouldn't have been cheated knowingly.

Thinking like this, he slumped back on the bed, eating and sleeping all day long, costing Shen Lianting a lot of money, if only he had business acumen like Xu Ziying.

But apart from being able to forge some gadgets, he doesn't even have a decent gold finger, otherwise he would go to the street to forge iron to make money the next day.

Anyway, the money went into Xu Ziying's pocket early. He made a consoling image and patted Ji Xiaoguang who was lying on the bed: "Since the money has been spent, it's all time to go on a trip. My brother will show you my house."

Ji Xiaoguang was expressionless, squinting at him: "If you say this in the 21st century, you will be beaten to death if you go out."

Xu Ziying laughed, and said that he would hit him casually.

No matter how you say it, Yanhou's Mansion is a noble mansion, but the beauty of the pavilions and courtyards is indeed beyond Ji Xiaoguang's imagination.

Because it was already dusk when he got off the sedan chair, the sky was drizzling, and the stone lamps were shining in the dark night, so Xu Ziying ordered his servants to hold umbrellas and invite him directly to the house.

Although he only walked for a short distance, leading the way with a few flower and bird gauze lanterns, the vast scene in the mansion, the rockery, flowing water, hills and forests in the distance are still faintly visible.

Ji Xiaoguang couldn't help sighing just after looking at the rare ones: "Shopkeeper Xu, Lord Yanhou is simply the richest of the rich. Why do you have to open your own restaurant?"

Walking past the carved beams and painted buildings everywhere, they were really grand and rich, Xu Ziying smiled lightly, looked at him sympathetically, and said kindly.

"Stupid boy, what you earn is solid money. After all, men are unreliable, so why don't you think about your future?"

Ji Xiaoguang didn't appreciate it, and pouted, "I'll depend on Shen Lianting for the rest of my life...he will support me."

Xu Ziying didn't care, and avoided the servants and whispered: "I haven't even slept, what kind of capital do you use to rely on others for the rest of your life?"

Ji Xiaoguang stiffened his mouth uncomfortably, and glanced away: "Who said no, we sleep together at night..."

Xu Ziying "tsk": "Pure sleep?"

"Then, how can you still sleep?"

Xu Ziying: "..." He committed another crime.

After leading Ji Xiaoguang to the guest room that had already been prepared, prepared fruit cakes, and dismissed the servants, Xu Ziying took a deep breath and said sincerely.

"Xiaoguang, His Highness Sixth Highness is also a normal man. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that he treats you unusually. Unless he is Liu Xiahui, how can he bear it."

Ji Xiaoguang seemed to have been woken up for a little bit. In the past, he lived in a daze, and his life was safe.

Thinking back now, although Shen Lianting is good to Long Yang, he has never done anything to him, nor has anyone else...

The two fell into deep thought at the same time, and for a moment Xu Ziying seemed to wake up from a dream: "Your Highness, the Sixth Highness, can't do it."

This is a great shame for a man, Ji Xiaoguang couldn't help but said: "Impossible, Shen Lianting...just in the morning, he has the reactions of normal men..."

After he finished speaking, his old face flushed, especially under the light of the candlelight.

"Then His Highness the Sixth Highness only regards you as a younger brother?" Xu Ziying seemed to be discussing an extremely serious topic.

There is no reason to feel empty, although this is the relationship Ji Xiaoguang wants most, but in his subconscious, there is always a voice saying: This is not the case.

Seeing the disappointment in Ji Xiaoguang's eyes that couldn't be concealed, Xu Ziying held his cheek and thought, this kid obviously likes His Highness the Sixth Highness, so why isn't he enlightened?

Emotional Consultant Xu helped him with a bad move: "Why don't you try it someday, as long as you take this step, His Highness Six will know what's on your mind."

Having already said this, Xu Ziying saw that he had spent so much money, so he whispered a few words to Ji Xiaoguang gently.

And Ji Xiaoguang blushed more and more as he listened, spreading from his fair neck to his face, and finally met on the top of his head. When Xu Ziying finished speaking, Ji Xiaoguang patted his face, as if smoking from the top of his head.

Xu Ziying looked at the laid quilts and closed the doors and windows: "As the saying goes, the truth comes from practice. If you don't do it, how will you know what you want?"

Ji Xiaoguang was quick-witted and learned it as soon as he learned it. Xu Ziying could understand what he said after calling him directly.

He replied vaguely twice, sat on the round chair and stared at Rose Su in a daze.

Did he really like Shen Lianting?What did Shen Lianting think?

he does not know.

Is it self-indulgent, or...

Ji Xiaoguang has never been in a relationship, and he hasn't liked anyone in 20 years. He may know what it's like to like someone, but he doesn't know if that person also has him in his heart.

A shameful thought suddenly popped into my head, if Shen Lianting also likes him, why never...

Sighing as if discouraged, his eyelashes trembling when he closed his eyes, he buried his face in his arms, wondering wildly what he was thinking.

"Hello." At some point, Xu Ziying came over and bent over to look at him: "Look at you blushing, what are you thinking about yellow trash?"

Ji Xiaoguang touched his face, pouted his neck and pretended to be natural: "I don't."

Xu Ziying didn't tease him either: "Think about it yourself." He took a porcelain candlestick made of blue flowers and birds, and moved it steadily to the low table of the big couch.

There are two mattresses on the big couch that can accommodate several people, and the incense burner on the head of the bed is emitting green smoke, and the incense is warm and fragrant, which is very suitable for the night when the wind and rain are about to come.

Ji Xiaoguang asked him: "What are you going to do? You won't really be with me until the end, right?"

Xu Ziying insisted on words: "Talk at night by candlelight."

Looking at his tall and slender figure, Ji Xiaoguang was only wrapped in a thin coat, which was even more beautiful under the candlelight, and thought to himself that Lord Yan is really lucky.

Jokingly said: "What? Your Lord Hou is willing to let you accompany me in [Secret Chat]?"

Xu Ziying sat on the step, put one hand on the short side, and hummed: "What's the matter with him?" After a pause, he said: "The banquet in the palace, he won't come back tonight after drinking too much."

"A banquet?" Ji Xiaoguang said, "Tonight?"

Xu Ziying nodded: "That's right. Lord Hou said that today is His Highness's birthday. There was no big event at first, but His Highness is a good person, so court officials and many literati went to congratulate him."

After finishing speaking, I couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "If the legs are crippled, there will be no battle for the crown prince, otherwise the birthday banquet would not be so lively."

Ji Xiaoguang didn't make a sound anymore. No wonder Shen Lianting was going back to the palace to see His Highness the Second Highness tonight. It turned out that he was there to celebrate his birthday.

The rain outside the house was getting louder, Xu Ziying saw that he looked unhappy, and pulled him to the couch without saying a word.

"Come on, it's interesting enough." Xu Ziying filled a glass for him.

Ji Xiaoguang was swallowed by the refreshing aroma of the wine, but still shook his head: "No, no, this wine is too strong, Shen Lianting forbids me to drink it."

Xu Ziying took a sip by himself, and said in distaste: "You haven't written off your horoscope yet, how come you are so strict with your husband?"

"No." Looking back on the past, Ji Xiaoguang raised his forehead tactically: "This body is too bad for alcohol, and accidents are easy to happen if you drink too much..."

For example, kicking open the door of Shen Lianting's room, hugging him and yelling and crying bitterly.

Xu Ziying didn't force him anymore, he drank half of the pot by himself, and asked Ji Xiaoguang about the original novel with blushing cheeks.

Ji Xiaoguang guessed that most of the reason why he was looking for him was to ask this question. What is certain now is that Xu Ziying traveled directly from the real world, while he transmigrated into the world in a book.

Seemingly the same, yet very different.

He generally stated the framework and world background of the book, as well as the general plot, but he did not directly say who the protagonist of the novel is, and the villain is Shen Lianting.

Xu Ziying was already a little drunk, his eyes were dull and his cheeks were propped up, Ji Xiaoguang's words were ambiguous, and some important points happened to be vague.

Mainly talk about something that Ziying is interested in: "Xuangu Forest, there are countless rare and exotic beasts in it. Although the terrain inside is steep and the terrain is dangerous, if you can get some precious herbs and spirit stones."

Ji Xiaoguang paused just right, and rubbed his fingers together in front of Xu Ziying's eyes: "It can be sold for a lot of money."

Xu Ziying hiccupped and grinned stupidly: "Yes, yes, I know something, there is everything in it, it's like a paradise."

After speaking, he lay down on his back, with the smell of alcohol in his mouth, and spoke slowly.

"If I don't want to make money, I might as well find a place with beautiful scenery and no one to live. Traveling is risky. In this world, you may be stabbed at any time. There is no police to take care of you. I also cherish my life. I cherish my life."

After speaking, there was no movement, probably falling asleep.

In the guest room, there were only flickering candles and Xu Ziying's slight snoring, and the sound of rain pattering through the door.

Ji Xiaoguang thought absurdly, if in the future, he and Shen Lianting could also find a place to live the life of "picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence and seeing Nanshan leisurely"?

Xuangu Forest is a good choice.

After a while, Ji Xiaoguang was sitting on the couch, and suddenly heard a slight noise. He followed the sound and looked towards the door, and there seemed to be someone outside the door.

"Who?"

No one answered.

He put on his shoes and went over, this is the residence of Marquis Yan, he didn't know many trivial matters, he didn't know whether it was a servant or something else.

The atmosphere was eerily silent, he inadvertently slowed down his breathing, and listened for a moment close to the door, but there was nothing but the sound of rain.

Maybe he heard wrong?Ji Xiaoguang thought.

His stiff back gradually relaxed, and he took a few steps back.

At this moment, a hand broke through the window behind him and covered his mouth fiercely!

This hand was icy cold mixed with rainwater, and it strangled his vitals mercilessly, with such force that it was hard to breathe.

Ji Xiaoguang's mind went blank.
