Guan Tuantuan shook her head, deciding to stop thinking about it. She felt that if she continued to think about it,...

She was probably on the verge of a breakdown, so she quickly got dressed, skipped her meal, and went straight to find Li Qishang to absorb the dragon energy.

night.

After Guan Chengheng finished his patrol, he returned to the Guan residence and saw his elder brother sitting in the courtyard admiring the moon, looking somewhat lonely.

"Brother, you're back really early today!"

"Well, the military camp wasn't very busy today, so I got back a little early."

"Second brother, why are you so late today?"

Guan Chengheng placed the helmet he was holding on the stone table beside him, picked up a cup of tea, looked up at the bright and clear crescent moon, and felt a little melancholy.

"Brother, do you know what liking someone means?"

Guan Chengzhuo, holding the teacup, stumbled. What did he know? He knew absolutely nothing!

However, he has been studying recently. Since meeting Linlin, he feels that the world is not so noisy anymore, and there is a kind of warmth in it.

"What? Do you have someone you like?"

Guan Chengheng was surprised, but he quickly understood; his older brother was already engaged.

Now both families are checking their birth dates and times. If the birth dates and times are compatible, then it's practically a done deal, and they're considered to be getting married.

"I don't know, maybe it doesn't count."

Guan Chengzhuo put down his teacup, raised his right hand, and rested his chin on it.

Looking at the crescent moon in the sky, a smile involuntarily appeared on his lips. "So that means there's a girl I like?"

"I don't know if it counts, but my younger brother feels very comfortable with her and wants to spend every day with her."

We have a lot in common, whether it's about food and drink, or gossiping.

"She didn't like studying either, just like I didn't. I preferred things like wielding swords and spears."

She just loves to eat every day. She's simple-minded and doesn't have many hidden agendas.

She wasn't scheming or manipulative; in every way, I felt she was a perfect match for me.

Upon hearing this, Guan Chengzhuo bluntly stated, "So you like her!"

"Oh no, your doll has fallen for you."

Guan Chengheng said, "Ah, brother, is this what liking someone is? Is this what liking someone is?"

"Yes, that's what love is! So you've fallen for her. Tell me, which family's young lady is she?"

Guan Chengzhuo was in a rare good mood and wanted to gossip about his younger brother's love life.

Guan Chengheng looked around before whispering, "The Grand Herald's daughter."

"Lord He Jin?" Guan Chengzhuo asked.

Guan Chengheng nodded.

Guan Chengzhuo looked his younger brother up and down. "Lord He's daughter? Lord He doesn't have any unmarried daughters."

Guan Chengheng said somewhat awkwardly, "Yes, they are, you know, the concubines in the imperial harem."

"(⊙_⊙)? So, what is this...?"

"Don't worry, brother. I've asked around; she's still a virgin, so there's no conflict with the Emperor..."

Guan Chengzhuo: Is this what I wanted to say? Is this what I meant?

Is this what I meant?

Guan Chengheng looked at his older brother with a puzzled expression, "Then, brother, what are you trying to say?"

"I mean, wouldn't it be awkward if you were with that Miss He? Wouldn't it be awkward if Yue'er and the Emperor came back later?"

Guan Chengheng: I haven't considered this!

"Probably not? Besides, the Emperor doesn't like her, and he's never made a scene in her bedchamber."

Guan Chengzhuo: Give him a piece of tofu and smash it to death.

"What about Yue'er? Have you considered Yue'er's feelings? This is the woman who once competed with her for the same man."

Now that she's become her second sister-in-law, what will she think? "Things have come to this point, so Guan Chengzhuo directly brought up the issue."

Guan Chengheng didn't think that much about it; he wouldn't think that deeply.

Moreover, he thought his eldest brother had gone a bit too far, and his third sister was probably overjoyed too!

However, he also wrote a letter to his third sister, saying that it was only right to go and check on her, as preventing any conflicts within the family was the result of everyone's joint efforts.

"I think what my eldest brother said makes sense, but I believe my third sister will be overjoyed."

I heard from Miss He that the two of them got along very well when they were in the palace.

So, regarding the problem my older brother mentioned, I think it's unlikely to happen.

"Besides, that's all in the past. In the future, there will only be me in her world."

Guan Chengzhuo raised an eyebrow and looked at his second brother. Had this guy suddenly unlocked his full potential?

How could you suddenly become such a different person? In just the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, you've changed so much?

"Have you confessed your feelings to Miss He?"

"not yet."

Guan Chengzhuo was speechless. "You haven't even done anything yet, and you're already declaring your sovereignty here. Aren't you afraid of being slapped in the face? You'll be slapped so hard your face will be smashed to pieces."

"Don't worry about expressing your feelings. With my handsome looks, she'll definitely be overjoyed."

Guan Chengzhuo: "My dear brother, where do you get your confidence? Who gave you this courage?"

Guan Chengzhuo didn't want to stay any longer. He was afraid that he would be infected by his own blockhead and become that kind of person. He was afraid that he would be corrupted by his own family.

Nothing more was said that night.

As dawn broke, Guan Chengheng took Xuan Cheng out, the reason being simple: to buy He Jiao some delicious food.

He was preparing to express his feelings, and today he even took a bath and changed his clothes before going out, and used flower petals to add fragrance!

Xuan Cheng didn't quite understand why his young master was acting crazy so early in the morning!

They actually left so early, it's not even dawn yet!

What are you doing so early in the morning?

"Sir, what are you doing so early in the morning, picking out clothes and taking a bath?"

Guan Chengheng was holding a fan. Surprisingly, he wasn't wearing his military uniform today; he was dressed in his usual clothes and had even tidied himself up.

"Buying breakfast!"

Xuan Cheng: "Isn't there breakfast at the manor? Why do we need to come out to buy more?"

"The tofu pudding from this stone mill is delicious. I'm going to deliver it to you later."

"So, young master, you're going to see Miss He?" Xuan Cheng asked, revealing the truth along the way.

Guan Chengheng even showed a hint of shyness, opening his fan to cover his blushing cheeks, "Yes!"

Xuan Cheng: He seems to be doing something very important.

So Xuan Cheng was dragged to the breakfast stall, and eventually ended up at the He residence.

He climbed over the wall to deliver breakfast to Miss He, and he had never seen such a pathetic person.

Why climb over the wall? Is he taking advantage of the fact that the Grand Herald's family doesn't have any skilled guards? Or is he trying to show off his martial arts skills?

Xuan Cheng never understood why his young master acted so haphazardly!

How could someone like that manage to win a girl's heart? That's really unconventional!

Guan Chengheng entered the courtyard. He Jiao had just gotten up and was the only one doing the radio calisthenics that Guan Zhiyue had taught her, which was said to improve physical fitness. She had been persisting with it.

"Ah Jiao, look here."

He Jiao turned her head and looked over. Oh my god! The young marquis came to climb over her wall so early in the morning.

"Young Marquis, what are you doing on my wall? Aren't you on patrol today?"

Guan Chengheng handed the basket in his hand to He Jiao and said in a low voice, "I came to bring you breakfast. I'm supposed to be on patrol, but I came to see you before I went on patrol."

He Jiao blushed and swayed shyly, "My lord, why are you looking at me like that?"

Why didn't you use the main gate? What's the meaning behind this wall?

Guan Chengheng: "I was afraid your father would beat me, so I walked on the wall. Besides, it's so early in the morning, your front door isn't even open yet!"

"Then come in quickly!"

Guan Chengheng leaped into the courtyard, and the two sat at the stone table, eating and chatting...
