Chapter 143 Man, you are playing with fire!

Jian Yue felt at ease the moment she fell into Ji Huaiyu's arms.

Without any reason, he knew Xiaoyu would never send him away again.

The evening breeze blows in.

The waiter said, "Sir, Butler Wang looks a little unwell. We are preparing to take him downstairs to rest. Let's go to Mr. Ji, he will take care of him."

At first glance, there is nothing wrong with this statement.

If it were an ordinary person, he might really obey. After all, they are in a serious relationship. There is no problem in sending her over and letting her boyfriend take care of her now that she is drunk.

Before Ji Huaiyu could speak, Jian Yue gently held his hand and tried to open his eyes to look at him. He was really not feeling well and his whole body was extremely hot. This heat made his rationality slowly fade away. When he opened his eyes, there was moisture in his eyes. He just looked at him and shook his head slowly. His voice was extremely soft, a volume that only the two of them could hear.

He said, "Xiaoyu, take me away."

Just a simple sentence made Ji Huaiyu tighten his arms around the person instantly.

The waiter always felt that something was wrong, and immediately tried to test him: "He looks a little uncomfortable, I will take him first..."

However--

Ji Huaiyu stood there, and just glanced at the waiter who wanted to come over and hold Jian Yue's hand, and scared the man away without even saying a word. That look was cold and stern, which was the majesty that only those who had been in a superior position for many years could have. Just a glance made the servants dare not move at all. The night blew over, bringing a little chill.

"Where is he?" Ji Huaiyu said, "If he is asked to take care of someone, then let him come and pick him up in person."

The waiter choked.

Of course Ji Huaisheng couldn't come to pick her up in person, because he was drunk!

As he was struggling and hesitating, Ji Huaiyu asked in a cold tone, "Did you get drunk in there?"

The waiter was a little surprised as to how familiar he looked.

Ji Huaiyu said, "If he wasn't so drunk and allowed his people to get drunk outside, he wouldn't have to come see me."

The waiter didn't know how to respond. This man's aura was extremely strong. Ordinary people would only feel cold and frightened in front of him and would not dare to disobey him at all.

Ji Huaiyu turned around and said, "I'll take him away first. When he sobers up tomorrow, let Ji Huaisheng come see me again."

The waiter didn't dare to say anything else.

Jian Yue just felt groggy, and then he was picked up sideways. Ji Huaisheng's whole body was very cold, so cold that it made people feel comfortable. This was like a savior for Jian Yue who was feeling very hot at the moment. He rubbed against Ji Huaiyu's body almost uncontrollably.

Ji Huaiyu could only feel Jian Yue's warm breath on his body. He felt a little uncomfortable with this kind of breath, but the places where Jian Yue rubbed against him seemed to be ignited and burning hot, as if a flame had fallen on his body and burned all the way into his heart.

"Don't move." Ji Huaiyu said in a low voice.

Jian Yue leaned against him and said softly, "I feel a little uncomfortable."

Ji Huaiyu pressed Jian Yue's head so that he could lean on his shoulder, and said, "Be patient."

Jian Yue nodded gently and leaned on Ji Huaiyu. In the silent night, his movements paused for a moment and his face was buried. However, in the night, his eyes were slightly gloomy.

There is no other reason.

But just now when he leaned on Ji Huaiyu, for a moment he didn't hear Ji Huaiyu's heartbeat.

Jian Yue's hand fell on Ji Huaiyu's shoulder. The skin of the person next to him was a little cold, but he could still feel the temperature more or less. But at that moment just now, he could be sure that in the long dozens of seconds, he did not feel Ji Huaiyu's heartbeat.

He knows the human body too well.

That's not something a normal human being can do.

Jian Yue was distracted when Ji Huaiyu's coat fell on his shoulders. He said, "It's windy. I'll take you back."

The scent of plum blossoms returned to his nostrils. The person in his arms paused for just a moment before leaning back on his shoulder. Jian Yue hugged him with a completely trusting attitude and said, "Xiao Yu, I'm not cold, I'm so hot."

His voice was so soft, like a helpless cub acting coquettishly with its owner, wanting to be pampered more, or like the whispers between lovers. He opened himself to him without any defense and gave himself to him.

Ji Huaiyu's eyes darkened, he hugged Jian Yue in his arms, and then said slowly: "I know."

On the way back to the house, Jian Yue actually had no idea how long the journey took. It seemed as if he arrived in a flash, and he was still feeling very hot.

Subconsciously rubbing against Ji Huaiyu's body.

And then the next second.

Then he was put into a pool of cold water.

The cold water rushed in from all around, as if wrapping him up. Jian Yue never dreamed that being placed in the bathtub would happen again.

The only thing that might be a little different.

This time, Ji Huaiyu was obviously more experienced than when he was in Wanfu Village, and he even had someone send some ice cubes.

Jian Yue: “…”

The heat in his body was indeed relieved a little. His clothes were completely soaked and stuck tightly to his body. His clothes were white, and some buttons were torn open because of his struggle in the bathtub, revealing his white collarbone and slender neck. His hair was also wet, with a few strands falling from his forehead.

But because he was too hot, his face was flushed, and in his wet eyes, there was a different kind of temptation. His skin was as white as jade, but his whole body was hot, as if the red was coming from the jade.

The ice water is too cold.

Jian Yue said: "I want to come out, I'm cold."

His heat came from inside his body, and he couldn't stand the cold outside his body, but Ji Huaiyu held him down. Ji Huaiyu said, "You need to soak for a while longer, otherwise you will be cold again in a while."

Jian Yue shook his head. He held Ji Huaiyu's hand. The extreme cold and heat were too torturous. His eyes were red, like a child who was angry and acting like a spoiled child: "No, I'll just hold you. You're cool. I don't want the ice."

The audience in the live broadcast room complained:

"What are you thinking about, host?"

"How could he possibly promise you!"

"Mr. Ji has a bottom line."

"This is a ruthless boss!"

Then.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone.

Jian Yue was so upset that she was about to cry. She pestered Ji Huaiyu and acted like a spoiled child. The ruthless Ji remained silent and said, "You can only hug me for a while."

The person who succeeds in playing cheating will burst into tears and hug the other person with his body still wet.

Audience: “…”

Depend on! !

No one told them that this trick really works!!!

Jian Yue didn't know why, but Xiaoyu's body was so comfortable, and he didn't feel uncomfortable when he was close to her. His head was in a daze, and he pressed tightly against Ji Huaiyu, just leaning in his arms. Because he had just been tossing and turning in the bucket, Ji Huaiyu's clothes were also messy. His collar was a little open, and a clear red mole could be seen under his shoulder.

Like a seal.

Jian Yue leaned closer to him, and he lowered his head and kissed her gently.

Ji Huaiyu froze completely. No one had ever kissed him since he was a child. Even his closest master's wife only touched his head gently when she encouraged him. It's not that he had never seen other people being intimate with him before, but he didn't understand the meaning of that. To him, there were too many emotions that he couldn't understand.

Many emotions in the world are indifferent to him.

Until now.

It was just a light kiss, but for Ji Huaiyu it was like an electric shock. The man's whole body froze and he looked down at the person in his arms. His mood was almost turned upside down!

Ji Huaiyu held down Jian Yue's restless movements. His eyes were dark, with a bit of coldness and some uncontrollable emotions. The man's voice was low and he said, "Do you know that you are playing with fire?"

But Jian Yue didn't look at him.

Seeing the familiar little mole was enough to put him down, and after being tortured by the ice water and the ice and fire in his body, his consciousness had already become somewhat scattered.

Jian Yue leaned against someone and played with Ji Huaiyu's hand. After playing for a while, he suddenly felt a little strange. With a hint of doubt in his voice, he said, "Xiaoyu, where is your ring?"

Ji Huaiyu looked at him.

"Why don't you wear our rings?" Jian Yue felt as if the sky had fallen, and his voice was choked with sobs: "Have you changed your mind... Are you going to cheat on me, Xiaoyu..."

Ji Huaiyu was stunned for a moment, then frowned slightly.

He never wears a ring.

Come to think of it, only his useless nephew loves those things.

Could it be that...

Jian Yue was so nice to him tonight and even kissed him. Was it just because he treated him as his nephew? All the tenderness and enthusiasm he received was just because he was his nephew's substitute?

Ji Huaiyu's hands placed beside him curled up unconsciously, and the veins on his white and slender fingers slowly stretched. His eyes were surprisingly dark, and there were unfathomable turbulent waves in them. For the first time in his life, he felt emotions that he had never felt before, and such a gift was unexpectedly obtained from the wrong breath in his life.

The man who had always been able to handle everything calmly never thought that he would end up like this today!!

*

Day 2

The midday sun shines in, warm, and falls to the ground through the window.

The person on the bed was sleeping very soundly, but because of the sound of birds and flowers coming from outside, he even felt it was a bit noisy, so he simply turned over, covered his head, and prepared to continue sleeping.

Until the system heard a voice announcing the opening of the live broadcast room.

Jian Yue suddenly opened his eyes and sat up: "Is it dawn?"

The sun was shining brightly outside. Jian Yue checked the time on his watch and found that it was already past eleven o'clock in the morning. Normally, he would sleep until seven or eight o'clock!

It was only after he sat up so suddenly that Jian Yue felt the pain in his waist.

"hiss……"

He took a deep breath and looked around. This was a bedroom he didn't recognize. It was decorated in an antique style and was full of literary and artistic atmosphere. There were some antique vases not far away. Although he had no idea what dynasty they were from, he could tell that they were definitely very elegant.

There are some landscape paintings hanging on the wall not far away.

There were some brushes on the table, and not far away were some books, all of which looked very old. The whole room was very large, but the owner of the room was not there. However, even if the owner was not there, Jian Yue could guess whose room this was. After all, this bed had a smell, and he would definitely not mistake Xiaoyu's smell.

"Why does my waist hurt so much?" Jian Yue rubbed it, his eyes lit up, and he guessed: "Could it be that yesterday..."

The system interrupted him mercilessly: "What good things are you thinking? The anchor was not well behaved in the bathtub yesterday and bumped into others many times. After being put on the bed in the middle of the night, he was not well behaved and fell off the bed several times."

Jian Yue: “…”

Actually, you don’t need to describe it in such detail next time.

So it's alright! Nothing happened!!!

Jian Yue glanced at his body in pajamas, sighed slowly, and even thought unconsciously, was it because he looked too boring, or was it because Xiaoyu was actually not good enough! !

I was complaining in my mind.

The door outside opened, and a man's voice came down and asked, "What are you thinking about?"

Jian Yue was thinking, and replied subconsciously: "It's not possible to treat a man in any way you want..."

After the words were spoken, the room fell silent for a moment.

Standing at the door was Ji Huaiyu, tall and handsome, wearing a neatly tailored suit. His clothes were neatly arranged, no longer messy at all. The well-dressed man looked powerful and serious early in the morning, and when his eyes swept over, there was a sense of oppression.

After hearing this, Ji Huaiyu raised his eyebrows and said, "Which man do you want to treat?"

Jian Yue: “…”

This, this is not something you can talk about!!

After saying that, will he still be able to see the moon tomorrow?

After thinking for a while, between sacrificing himself or others, Jian Yue said randomly: "I... I can't do it."

The audience in the live broadcast room saw the fun early in the morning:

"Hahahaha how dare he question the monsters' functions."

"I am really convinced."

"Butler Wang, you are really tough on yourself!"

"Some people are so ruthless that they even make up rumors about themselves!"

Ji Huaiyu was silent for a moment and said, "I'll have someone treat you."

Jian Yue was afraid that he would be found out to be fine, so he quickly said, "No, no need. I don't think it's a big problem. Anyway, I may not need it for a while!"

Shit, what the hell is he talking about!

Jian Yue wanted to slap himself in his heart. Did he have to use this excuse?

Ji Huaiyu probably didn't expect this answer. He was speechless for a moment before he finally said, "Now that you're awake, get up and go to the main hall to eat."

Jian Yue: "...Oh, okay."

He quickly got up and dressed.

Then I remembered that I forgot to ask who changed the pajamas. Forget it, I'll ask next time.

Except for the place where Jian Yue hit his waist, he felt refreshed after waking up. When he went to the main hall to eat, he thought he was just going to have a simple meal, but he didn't expect that there was a row of people standing in the main hall!

This dark crowd of people puzzled him for a moment.

Ji Huaiyu was sitting in the main seat. When he saw him coming, he waved and said, "Come here."

Jian Yue walked over and stood beside him and said, "Master?"

As a housekeeper, he was used to walking to Ji Huaiyu's side, and thought that there would be some morning meeting today.

Ji Huaiyu looked up at the person opposite him and said, "You can talk about it yourself, or wait for me to deal with it."

The people standing outside the dining table didn't know what had happened. They all looked dizzy and trembling. Finally, someone couldn't stand it anymore. "Sir, I'm sorry, sir. We didn't mean to do that. The wine and drinks last night were all provided by the kitchen staff. We don't know who poisoned us. We just remember that it was someone from the crew who gave us the powder!"

Ji Huaiyu said: "Who in the crew, find him out? If you can't find him, you will have to take the blame for him."

He said it lightly.

But this group of people had no idea what they had experienced. They all looked frightened and their faces were very pale, as if they had seen something extremely horrific in the morning, something more terrifying than severe punishment.

The waiters said in succession: "It seems to be an extra in the crew. We don't know what role he plays, but he also came from the ship!"

Ji Huaiyu said calmly: "Find him out in one day."

The time was actually very tight, but it sounded like heavenly music to the ears of the waiters. They hurriedly agreed and then rushed out in a hurry.

Jian Yue was stunned.

Until Ji Huaiyu looked at him sideways and said, "I asked you to come over for dinner, why are you standing there like an idiot?"

Jian Yue slowly came back to his senses. As he sat down, he asked, "Master, are you helping me find the person who drugged me yesterday and wanted to harm me?"

After everyone sat down, Ji Huaiyu picked up the bowl and chopsticks. He even picked up a piece of food for Jian Yue, as if the cold-faced and ruthless person just now was not him. He said calmly: "You are from the Ji family. If you dare to attack my people, you must pay a corresponding price."

It sounds very high-sounding, as if the matter was handled completely impartially.

But Jian Yue knew that he was not a member of the Ji family. Ji Huaiyu was so smart that he should have seen through the fake relationship between him and Ji Huaisheng. It was just a small matter, and Ji Huaiyu was very busy, so it shouldn't be handled by him personally. Even if he wanted to give face to his nephew and let his assistant do it, he still did it.

Xiaoyu is the only one in the world who cares about him like this.

Care about whether he has been wronged or bullied.

Jian Yue smiled and said, "Thank you, Master. You are the best person to me."

Ji Huaiyu glanced at it sideways. Jian Yue's eyes were open and full of unconditional trust in him. It seemed that one's heart would melt in those eyes. He forced himself to look away.

But I just happened to hear Jian Yue say: "I like the Ji family too. Yesterday I went to the academy to read a book about puppets. I found it very interesting and learned a lot!"

Ji Huaiyu asked: "What did you see?"

Jian Yue held his bowl of food and bit his vegetables while saying, "It's just some basic knowledge about puppets. Ah, I also saw something very interesting. A book said that among the puppets there is a king of all puppets in the world. It is said that he is very powerful and is the most delicate and beautiful puppet, no different from a living person. Is this true?"

Ji Huaiyu paused for a moment, then whispered, "It's true."

Jian Yue got confirmation so quickly. He said, "Oh my god, it's actually true. It's amazing. I really want to see it. However, according to the time recorded in the book, it has been thousands or hundreds of years since then. There is no trace of it. I don't know if I will have the chance to see it again."

Ji Huaiyu raised his eyes to look at him: "Why do you want to see it? Because it is rare?"

This is probably the reason why most people want to see such a puppet.

Jian Yue shook his head.

Ji Huaiyu was a little surprised. Before he could ask, he saw Jian Yue sighing while holding the rice. Then he took a bite of the rice and looked up at Ji Huaiyu and said, "I just think that if it has really lived for that long, it must be very lonely. The people around it are gone, and slowly no one knows it. It may not even have anyone to talk to. Gradually, there may not even be anyone in the world who remembers it. Then it has to live alone with so many memories. Life must be very difficult."

The room was silent for a moment.

Ji Huaiyu looked at Jian Yue, his dark eyes clearly reflected Jian Yue's figure. Jian Yue was sitting at the table and talking. He spoke for a long time, words that Ji Huaiyu had never heard before. And Ji Huaiyu knew clearly that this was not a lie, because the look of heartache and regret on his face when he spoke was real.

puppet.

Dead things made of wood.

Even if they are given a body that can move with blood, no one will really treat them as human beings. When a successful puppet is made, if it is useful, it will be kept; if it is not useful, it will be discarded and a new one will be made.

It has been like this since ancient times.

Of course, it seems that it should be so. After all, who would feel sorry for a piece of wood? After all, it is just a piece of wood. No one would spend time and effort on a piece of wood.

But today, he heard someone say for the first time:

Will it be lonely then?

Is it doing well now?

Is there anyone to talk to it?

Ji Huaiyu slowly put down his chopsticks, and under Jian Yue's gaze, he said, "No."

Jian Yue looked at him.

"Puppets have no emotions." Ji Huaiyu's tone was calm, without any ups and downs. "They are made of wood. Even the best puppets have no flesh and blood. They are just walking puppet shells. Naturally, they have no emotions. So they don't feel lonely or sad."

Jian Yue sat in a chair and listened quietly. After Ji Huaiyu finished speaking, his long, soft eyelashes trembled, and then he smiled gently: "Is that so."

But Xiaoyu.

Your eyes tell me that you are so sad.
