It was the first time Gu Yan heard Ye Zi call him that.He didn't think too much, reached out and touched Ye Zi's back comfortingly, and asked softly: "What's the matter, who made our A Zi angry?"

Ye Zi's consciousness was confused, leaning on Gu Yan's shoulder, he replied vaguely: "You."

Gu Yan was stunned for a moment, thinking that Ye Zi was just acting coquettishly with him, and said with a smile, "Is it because I didn't accompany you today that you are not allowed to go out?"

"I'm worried about your safety." Gu Yan stroked Ye Zi's hair, eyes slightly lowered, "If something happens to you, what can I do?"

Ye Zi looked up at him, with a bit of confusion in her bright and moist eyes: "Why..."

Gu Yan asked: "What?"

Ye Zi frowned slightly, with a look of not being fully awake: "Why...worried about me?"

Gu Yan didn't answer, but chuckled lightly: "Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"

Ye Zi didn't respond anymore, Gu Yan was worried that he would fall off the bed, so he slowly put him back on the bed, and continued to remove the outer clothes for him.Ye Zi obediently cooperated with Gu Yan's movements, and looked at him without blinking, with unnatural redness at the end of his eyes.

The maid quickly brought the sober soup, and Gu Yan sat by the bed and fed it to Ye Zi spoonful by spoonful.

Ye Zi finished drinking the hangover soup obediently. Gu Yan was about to get up, but Ye Zi stretched out his hand and grabbed him: "Don't go..."

Gu Yan just got up and put the soup bowl on the low table beside the bed, then sat back on the bed immediately, holding his hand: "Well, I won't go."

The room was quiet for a while, tiredness gradually came over, Ye Zi rubbed his eyes, still staring at Gu Yan stubbornly.

I don't know how long it has passed, but Gu Yan suddenly asked, "Azi, what are you doing looking at me?"

Ye Zi said truthfully, "I want to see you."

"Why do you want to see me?"

Ye Zi smiled foolishly: "You look good."

Gu Yan sighed softly, lowered his head and approached him: "Apart from this?"

Ye Zi tilted her head in a daze, unable to understand what he was referring to.

Gu Yan's hand gently brushed across Ye Zi's face, and said in a warm voice: "A Zi, you just asked me why I was worried about you, and my answer is the same as your answer at this moment."

"...Azi, you care about me."

"You have me in your heart, so you think about me all the time, care about my thoughts, and get annoyed because of me." Gu Yan groped his hand down, interlocked with Ye Zi's ten fingers, and put the back of his hand on the A light kiss on the lips, "I don't know if you will forget this after you wake up, if you forget, I will say it again."

"Azi, you're in love with me, aren't you?"

Ye Zi stared at him blankly, her eyes suddenly turned red.

Compared to before, he was more conscious, but not so sober.

He seemed to have stepped into the void, surrounded by boundless darkness, muddled and chaotic.In this empty space, there is only one place that is clear and bright.

The only light, whose surname is Gu Mingyan.

Ye Zi stared at the light obsessively, and even had an impulsive thought in his brain, which was dazzled by alcohol.

He didn't mind that there was still someone in Gu Yan's heart, and he wanted to stay by his side.

Just like what the little gray bird said, how can there be so many people who stick to one thing in their life.As long as Gu Yan is willing to give him a small piece of his sincerity, he will be happy with it.

Ye Zi's vision gradually became blurred, he turned his head, and a tear fell from the corner of his eye, hiding in his hair.

Gu Yan lowered his head and kissed his eyes, his tone was quite helpless: "Why are you crying? Your reaction like this makes me feel that I am forcing you."

"I admit that I did force you to stay at the beginning. But I don't regret it. If it wasn't like this, how could you stay by my side." He held Ye Zi's face in his hands and said softly, "A Zi, I didn't know What do I live for. I can't keep my country, the people, or the people I like."

"I am disturbed by nightmares day and night, I can't ask for it, and I can't let it go."

"...but later I realized that I was asking too much."

Gu Yan leaned over and hugged Ye Zi into his arms, and said in a low voice, "Do you know that my name and character are both taken by the emperor's grandfather, which means... Haiyan Heqing, the world is peaceful. He regards me as the crown prince, He wants me to carry the country and the country for him after a hundred years. I promised him and made this goal."

"But it's too difficult."

"For his wish, I almost risked everything and lost a lot of things that I cherished." Gu Yan closed his eyes and said in a low voice, "So I told myself that what I want for the rest of my life is to be in a corner with the person I like .As for the rest, I think, I should let it go."

In his previous life, for the promise of peace in the world, he planned his whole life, sacrificed everything, and pushed himself into a desperate situation.

God gave him a chance to live a new life, so he naturally wants to live according to his own will.

Gu Yan lowered his head, and solemnly and reverently planted a kiss on the center of Ye Zi's eyebrows: "A Zi, I like you, are you willing to be my real Princess Rui?"

More tears welled up in her eyes, Ye Zi bit her lip, her body twitched slightly.

Gu Yan was a little panicked, and quickly hugged him into his arms.Noticing that the body in his arms gradually calmed down, Gu Yan laughed and said: "Why are you like this? I thought about sweet words all the way. It's just that you are unhappy. Why are you crying like this?"

"I...I'm not..." Ye Zi sobbed.

Gu Yan put his hand on his lips, and said softly: "It's okay, if you haven't figured it out yet and don't know how to answer, you can think about it slowly. But you promise me, when you think it over, you must give me an answer, Okay?"

Ye Zi buried her head in Gu Yan's arms, and responded softly.

Gu Yan asked: "Are you still dizzy? Shall I sleep with you for a while?"

Ye Zi cried until her head ached, she nodded, "Yeah."

Gu Yan took off his coat, hugged Ye Zi and lay down on the couch.He turned sideways and wrapped Ye Zi in his arms. The latter was really exhausted and fell asleep in a short while.

Ye Zi's eyelashes were still wet, her brows were tightly frowned, and she did not sleep well.

Gu Yan turned his head to look at him, his eyes gradually dimmed.

This man is not normal today.

Gu Yan understood him, Ye Zi took the overall situation into consideration and acted in a proper manner, if not for other reasons, she would never let herself get drunk outside.Not to mention his reaction when Gu Yan spoke to him just now.

It's really not like him in the past.

Did you encounter something outside?Or because of what happened last night...

Gu Yan couldn't remember what happened when he fell ill, but he probably knew that his appearance at that time was definitely not very good-looking.Did it scare him?

Gu Yan sighed silently, and suddenly regretted saying so much to Ye Zi today.

It was too hasty.

It was already late at night when Ye Zi woke up again, the moonlight was hazy outside the window, shining through the shadows of the trees into the house, leaving mottled marks on the ground.

When he opened his eyes, he only felt a splitting headache, and his whole body was so weak that he had no strength.The underwear on his body had already been changed, and a clean coat was placed beside the bed, but Gu Yan, who was by his side, was nowhere to be found.

Ye Zi stretched out his hand to touch it, and the bed beside him had completely cooled down.

A small oil lamp was lit in the inner room, Ye Zi got up and leaned against the head of the bed, recalling what Gu Yan said to him earlier.

Gu Yan asked him if he would like to become the real Princess Rui.

Just when he thought he had lost Gu Yan, that person suddenly gave him his sincerity, without any warning, yet seemed to be a matter of course.

Ye Zi was leaning against the bed in a daze, when the door was suddenly pushed open, and a strong and tangy smell of food immediately filled the room.When Ye Zi smelled it, he suddenly felt hungry.

When Gu Yan stepped into the door, he immediately saw Ye Zi who had already got up, turned around and said, "Let's put it down."

"Yes." The maid put the food box by the table and left the room without further words.

Gu Yan filled a bowl of porridge and walked into the inner room: "Are you awake?"

Ye Zi raised his eyes to look at him, Gu Yan put the porridge bowl on the small table beside the bed, took a pillow to cushion Ye Zi, and then picked up the bowl again.

Gu Yan said: "I boiled some rice porridge for you. You just drank wine at noon. Drink some hot porridge to warm your stomach. Is there anything else you feel uncomfortable about?"

Ye Zi shook his head: "No."

Gu Yan responded, scooped up a spoonful of porridge, put it in his mouth to let it cool, and handed it to Ye Zi's mouth.

Ye Zi was taken aback, and subconsciously reached out to pick up the bowl in his hand: "I'll do it myself..."

Gu Yan didn't give it to him, but said: "I'll feed you."

Ye Zi said: "My lord, I'm really fine, I don't feel uncomfortable at all, I can just eat by myself."

Gu Yan glanced at him: "I know you're fine."

"That……"

Gu Yan interrupted him: "Drink quickly, it will be cold in a while."

Ye Zi had no choice but to swallow it as he was told.

Millet and rice are put in the porridge, the heat is just right, it is soft and delicious, sweet and smooth.Swallowing it in one gulp, Ye Zi's clamoring stomach finally eased up a bit.

After feeding Ye Zi a few sips of hot porridge, Gu Yan asked cautiously, "How do you like the taste?"

No matter how you cook the rice porridge, it won't be unpalatable, Ye Zi didn't think too much about it, and replied truthfully: "It's okay."

Gu Yan continued to ask: "It's just okay? How does it compare to the past?"

Ye Zi was taken aback, and vaguely realized something: "This porridge...you cooked it yourself?"

Gu Yan responded, "Yes."

"... How long have you been doing it?"

Gu Yan estimated: "Back and forth, almost three hours."

Ye Zi was silent for a moment, and tentatively asked, "Is the back kitchen okay?"

"It's okay." Gu Yan paused, and said calmly, "It's just that the house may not be able to serve dinner today, I have already sent someone to the restaurant to bring back some food."

Ye Zi: "..."

Gu Yan thought for a while, and argued for himself: "I can't blame me. I did all the steps according to what they said. It was the bottom of the pot that couldn't bear the fire and cracked, and almost burned the stove. But It’s also good, most of those burnt pots are short of weight, let them replace a batch of new ones, so that this kind of thing won’t happen again in the future.”

Stirring the porridge with a porcelain spoon, he complained, "If it wasn't for this, I should have been back by now."

Ye Zi was speechless.

This person almost set the kitchen on fire, and the villain first complained that it was the fault of the pot.Ye Zi could imagine how the servant who worked in the back kitchen would be so angry that he didn't speak out when he watched his prince set fire to the kitchen.

Ye Zi was angry and funny, shook his head and said, "My lord, you don't have to be like this."

Gu Yan looked up at him, and said seriously: "I heard that folk men have to spend a lot of effort in pursuing their sweetheart. If you don't do something for your sweetheart yourself, and just rely on a few words of love, how can the person you like marry with confidence?" .I didn’t know this before, but now that I know, I can’t be the same as before. If they can do it, I can do it too.”

He put down the porridge bowl, took out a silk handkerchief and wiped the corners of Ye Zi's mouth, and said softly, "...I just want to treat you better."
