Ye Jingchen explained the two sand table simulations to Ye Jinghe today, and during the explanation, he tried his best to use diagrams to recreate the terrain of the sand table.
However, the topographical map he drew was, after all, two-dimensional and lacked a three-dimensional perspective. Moreover, since he couldn't even draw a straight line, the map he produced was naturally appalling. This led Ye Jingchen to feel that his explanation was somewhat lacking.
Fortunately, Ye Jinghe was very intelligent and familiar with his teaching methods, so his teaching session was not compromised.
However, Ye Jingchen still decided that the Crown Prince's Palace should also have several sand tables, preferably replicas of the Zhenguo Duke's sand tables one-to-one. This would make it easier for him to teach, and also make it easier for Ye Jinghe to learn.
So, the next day when he went to the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion for class, he made this request to Xie Chang'an.
However, Xie Chang'an ignored him and kept at least three meters away from him.
Ye Jingchen was not used to having to shout to speak from a distance of three meters.
But whenever he tried to get closer to Xie Chang'an, Xie Chang'an would quicken his pace, widening the distance between them.
After three times, Ye Jingchen was certain that Xie Chang'an was doing it on purpose.
He was so angry that he stood there and refused to move.
What happened this time?
Did he do something to upset Miss Xie again?
But even when they were angry before, the distance between them had never grown this far; it was like an insurmountable chasm!
After he stopped moving, Xie Chang'an noticed him after taking only two steps and turned back to look at him in confusion.
"Xie Chang'an, what did I do to offend you?" he shouted from the spot.
Two servants who were passing by looked over.
Xie Chang'an glared at him fiercely, took a few steps back, got a little closer to him, but still maintained a certain distance.
Ye Jingchen took a step forward, and he immediately took a step back.
"Something's not right with you," Ye Jingchen said, looking at Xie Chang'an.
However, Xie Chang'an turned his head away from him, appearing as if he refused to communicate.
Ye Jingchen walked towards him, but he still stepped back.
Ye Jingchen was so angry he laughed.
“Dawn—” he called out.
"Grab him!" At the command, Chenxi appeared behind Xie Chang'an and reached out to grab him.
Xie Chang'an dodged Chen Xi's hand with a swift movement. After exchanging a few quick blows, Xie Chang'an seized an opportunity and ran away without hesitation.
Chenxi watched him run away.
"Why didn't you go after them?" Ye Jingchen asked.
Ye Jingchen had no one by his side, and ordinary bodyguards couldn't enter the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, so Chenxi naturally wouldn't leave Ye Jingchen to chase after Xie Chang'an.
"Meaningful?" Chenxi countered.
Ye Jingchen: ......
That really makes no sense.
After all, they have to attend class together later.
But this makes Xie Chang'an's reaction even more suspicious. Is he some kind of monster that makes Xie Chang'an afraid to even get close?
Ye Jingchen was quite familiar with the layout of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, and he found the study room where he would attend classes.
When he went in, he saw Xie Chang'an standing in front of the study window, staring intently outside.
Xu Jingjing had also arrived and was observing the sand table of mountains and hills. Upon seeing Ye Jingchen, she quickly stepped forward to greet him.
"Chang'an, why aren't you paying your respects to His Highness!" After exchanging greetings, she said to Xie Chang'an.
Xie Chang'an didn't move an inch.
"You child! I asked you to fetch His Highness the Crown Prince, and you left him behind and came to the study alone. Now why are you ignoring me?" Xu Jingjing scolded.
"Is the scenery outside the window really that beautiful? Is it worth looking at so intently?" Ye Jingchen said, deliberately moving closer to Xie Chang'an.
He had calculated that Xu Jingjing was also there, and Xie Chang'an wouldn't be able to hide from him too obviously in front of Xu Jingjing.
Indeed, Xie Chang'an neither dodged nor looked at him, but as he approached, Xie Chang'an's back became more and more tense, and his body became more and more stiff.
The moment he placed his hand on Xie Chang'an's shoulder, he clearly felt Xie Chang'an's entire body tremble violently, like a cat with its fur standing on end!
Ye Jingchen found Xie Chang'an's reaction hilarious.
Once he got playful, he moved closer to Xie Chang'an, and the two of them put their arms around each other's shoulders and stood very close together.
Then, he got a petrified Xie Chang'an.
Xie Chang'an's heart was in his throat; he didn't even dare to breathe.
The familiar scent and touch enveloped him, as if the dream from the night before last had come true.
In his dream, Ye Jingchen's posture was even more intimate than it is now. He had his arm around Ye Jingchen's shoulder, half of his body was leaning against Ye Jingchen's chest, and he was whispering in Ye Jingchen's ear.
Xie Chang'an couldn't hear what he was saying at all, because all his attention was focused on his ears.
His ears had always been a sensitive spot, but someone always liked to speak close to his ear, and when they spoke, the warm air seemed to deliberately drill into his ear and into his body.
He was acting strangely in his dream. He clearly disliked this closeness, yet he seemed reluctant to push it away, until something warm and moist seemed to lick his earlobe.
In that instant, he felt as if his whole body was about to explode, and he was instantly awakened.
When I woke up, the afterglow was still lingering in my body, and it took quite a while for it to subside.
Then he belatedly realized that something was wrong with a certain part of his body.
In his previous life, he had lived to the age of thirty. Although he was always alone and rarely had time to think about other things, he was still a normal man. Such situations occasionally occurred while he was sleeping, so he knew what it meant.
From this moment on, his body began to mature.
This should have been a good thing, but he only had an epiphany because of that inexplicable dream!
That dream was terrible, both the Ye Jingchen in the dream and him in the dream were terrible!
Although he personally spread rumors about himself and Ye Jingchen in the capital some time ago, if the rumors become true, both he and Ye Jingchen will be in danger, and it will also implicate the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion.
It's all Ye Jingchen's fault. If he hadn't suddenly asked such a shameless question the day before yesterday, he wouldn't have had that dream last night!
Therefore, Xie Chang'an unilaterally decided that he would keep his distance from Ye Jingchen.
But now, it turns out that the tactic of unilaterally keeping your distance simply doesn't work on the shameless Ye Jingchen.
He was torn between two conflicting thoughts: should he push Ye Jingchen away, or should he teach Ye Jingchen a lesson so that he would never dare to approach him again?
He can't be the only one struggling internally while Ye Jingchen, the culprit, knows nothing, can he?
His malice was almost overflowing, and he was about to repay Ye Jingchen for what Ye Jingchen had done to him in his dream when he saw his mother behind him looking at them with a gratified expression.
Xie Chang'an was struck dumb with shame and felt like he was about to die!
In broad daylight, in my grandfather's study, my mother was watching from the side. My grandfather could come at any moment. What dirty things was he thinking?
