Chapter 20 Thoughts
Xiao Yuanqi thought something big had happened to him. After hearing his description, he couldn't help laughing out loud, "Hahaha, I thought something big had happened! I didn't expect it was my good brother who was in love. This is normal and not a disease.
At your age, you should have someone you like. By the way, who is the person who makes you absent-minded and even suspect that you are sick? Do I know him?
The person who can move a cold-blooded god of war like you must be no ordinary person. But I have been in the capital for so many years, and I have never heard of any lady from a wealthy family being so unique.
Could it be that the woman you like is the one you met at the frontier? Did she go to Beijing with you this time? ”
Xiao Yuanqi was so happy that his younger brother finally fell in love with a human being that he excitedly asked and answered questions himself, but he soon realized something was wrong.
When Xiao Jinyi returned to Beijing before, there was no woman with him?
Just when Xiao Yuanqi wanted to continue asking, he found that his brother seemed to be petrified. He reached out and pushed Xiao Jinyi twice before he came back to his senses.
Ever since Xiao Jinyi first went to the battlefield, he developed a problem. He became very alert and few people could get close to him. This was the first time that Xiao Yuanqi touched him without being grabbed by his wrist!
Xiao Jinyi was shocked by what Xiao Yuanqi said just now. He didn't expect that he would be thinking about this. He was very panicked now. He wanted to see Shen Shixu again, but he didn't dare to see him.
After Xiao Yuanqi called Xiao Jinyi back to his senses, he found that he was in a panic, as if he was afraid of something.
He was quite surprised. "What's with that expression on your face? Aren't you talking about the person you like? Why do you look so scared? Is the person you like scary?"
Xiao Yuanqi couldn't help but become scared too. How powerful must that woman be to scare even his invincible brother!
Without waiting for him to ask, Xiao Jinyi confessed himself. He looked at Xiao Yuanqi in panic. The only person who could give him a sense of security at this moment was this brother who would always stand on the same side with him.
"Brother, I fell in love with someone, someone I shouldn't like."
Hearing this, Xiao Yuanqi thought that Xiao Jinyi had fallen in love with someone else's married woman. Just when he was thinking that as long as his brother liked her, he would not have the shame to break up the couple.
As a result, Xiao Jinyi's next sentence almost made him choke to death on his own saliva.
“I seem to have fallen in love with Shen Shixu!”
After hearing this, Xiao Yuanqi coughed violently, then reached out and touched Xiao Jinyi's forehead to see if he had a fever or was talking nonsense.
Seeing his action, Xiao Jinyi subconsciously slapped his hand away, "Brother, I don't have a fever, I'm awake now, and everything I said is true."
Xiao Yuanqi picked up the tea that Xiao Jinyi had not finished drinking and drank it all in one gulp. He needed to take a good rest.
He was not opposed to the fact that Xiao Jinyi liked Chen Shixu, he was just shocked.
He also didn't think that Shen Shixu seduced his brother and had any ill feelings towards him.
What kind of person Shen Shixu is can be seen after observing him for a few days. He has a humble yet sharp personality, a quick mind, and is cautious and observant. The two somewhat contradictory words, tactful and decisive, are perfectly combined in him.
"To be honest, if you told me today that you liked another man, I would probably be furious and think that man seduced you, and I would arrest and kill him."
Hearing this, Xiao Jinyi could not help but clench his fists, staring at Xiao Yuanqi vigilantly. Whenever he ordered someone to capture Shen Shixu, he would punch him.
Xiao Yuanqi noticed his clenched fists and felt a little sad. They had just started to like each other and they hadn't even been together yet, but his younger brother valued Shen Shixu so much that he even wanted to beat him up for it.
When the two of them are together in the future, I'm afraid he will have no status at all in his brother's eyes. It will be in vain that his brother has taken care of him all this time!
“But if it was Shen Shixu, I wouldn’t suspect him of seducing you. Although I haven’t had much contact with him, I know he is a smart man and he would never do something that would cost him his life.
Moreover, with his abilities and looks, he is more than qualified to be a match for the princess. Not to mention that our father has three princesses. Instead of hooking up with you, a prince who will definitely be executed, hooking up with the princesses can bring the same benefits as hooking up with the prince, and there will be no risk to his life.
As long as Shen Shixu is not a fool, he will know what to do. ”
When Xiao Yuanqi said this, Xiao Jinyi's complexion visibly improved.
Xiao Yuanqi pretended not to notice the change in his expression and continued, "But, Jin Yi, are you sure? You don't have deep feelings for him now, you just have some good feelings for him. As long as you stop contacting him, this vague good feeling will soon disappear, and you will like someone else in the future.
But if you continue, you two will definitely encounter many obstacles given your status. With your status and the love of your father and mother, you will not have any bad ending, but he may not.
It is true that the emperor is fond of him now, but compared to you, he is far from enough. If he knew, Shen Shixu would most likely not survive. ”
Xiao Jinyi knew that what Xiao Yuanqi said made sense. Intellectually, he knew that he should choose the first option, but his heart ached.
"Brother, I don't want to give up, can you help me?"
This was the first time that Xiao Jinyi showed weakness in front of Xiao Yuanqi. At least Xiao Yuanqi, who was obsessed with his brother, couldn't refuse at all. He sighed helplessly, waved his sleeves and said, "Hey, you've begged me so much, how can I refuse?
Don't worry, I will keep this a secret for you for now. Later on, we two brothers will split up into two groups. You go and get your sweetheart, and I will take advantage of the time when you are chasing someone to flatter you in front of the Emperor and the Empress.
During this period, Shen Shixu must have a greater weight in the eyes of my father and mother. Now there is an opportunity. In ten days, my mother will choose a crown princess for me again.
I will mention Shen Shixu in front of my mother and ask him to come to the palace to help her and leave a good impression in front of her. ”
The reason why Xiao Jinyi was willing to come to Xiao Yuanqi first after he encountered problems was because he knew that his brother loved him the most, even more than his father and mother, and would always stand by his side no matter when and where.
"Thank you, brother!"
Hearing these cheesy words, Xiao Yuanqi shook his body deliberately and glanced at Xiao Jinyi with disdain, "Stop being cheesy here. I think you came to me because you thought it was a good plan. You know that I will protect you no matter what. You really want to betray me, your brother."
"Brother, if you need anything, you can come to me. I will help you no matter what, even if it means going through fire and water."
