Xie Chang'an was so happy by those words that he forgot he was now in his former body and excitedly hugged Ye Jingchen.
Ye Jingchen hesitated for a moment, then hugged him back.
"So this is what it feels like to hug someone you like," Xie Chang'an suddenly exclaimed.
Ye Jingchen: ......
He tried to pull his hand back, but before he could move, Xie Chang'an grabbed him tightly.
Ye Jingchen struggled for a moment, but Xie Chang'an held him tighter and tighter.
"Cough cough—Your Majesty, can you let go? You're holding me too tightly, I can't breathe!" Ye Jingchen said, feigning discomfort.
The hands that were holding him loosened their grip a little, but they didn't let go of him.
"Your Majesty?" Ye Jingchen gently nudged Xie Chang'an again.
"Let me hold you for a while." Xie Chang'an not only didn't let go, but also rested his head on Ye Jingchen's shoulder.
“Taking without asking is stealing. This is the second time your Crown Princess has forcibly taken over my body,” Xie Chang’an said.
“Every time he takes over my body, I can feel his thoughts and be influenced by him.”
"I just wanted a hug, and I've been very restrained."
Hearing Xie Chang'an say that, Ye Jingchen dared not move anymore, but just glared fiercely at a certain place.
"May I know your real name?" Xie Chang'an asked.
He only knew that this Ye Jingchen was not the original Ye Jingchen, but he did not know his original name.
“That was my original name too,” Ye Jingchen replied.
"Ye-Jing-Chen." Xie Chang'an pronounced the name slowly and deliberately.
"I used to hate this name, but now I think it's beautiful, like a beautiful day, a serene scene..."
“Your name is also very good, Chang’an, may you live in peace year after year,” Ye Jingchen said.
Xie Chang'an smiled, "Even our names are a perfect match, 'Good Times and Beautiful Scenery, Chang'an'."
"I'll be so lucky from now on."
"If I think that all the suffering I've endured in my life was just to meet you after being reborn, then it doesn't seem so bitter anymore."
"I can't guarantee anything else, but I can guarantee your future will be all sweetness, no bitterness!" Ye Jingchen said with a smile.
"I trust you."
These four words were whispered by Xie Chang'an into Ye Jingchen's ear.
The warmth of her voice and breath went straight into Ye Jingchen's ears, and his ears turned red instantly.
"You've been leaning on me for so long, haven't you had enough?" Ye Jingchen reached out and pushed his head away.
This time, Xie Chang'an didn't continue to cling to Ye Jingchen.
He released Ye Jingchen. "You're leaving, don't you have anything to say to me?"
He emphasized the word "I" very much.
Ye Jingchen thought for a moment and said, "You need to eat well and rest well in the future, and gain some weight. You're too thin right now."
Hearing this, Xie Chang'an was somewhat dazed.
When my grandmother was still alive, she always liked to repeat similar things to him.
For many years, no one has cared whether he has been eating well, resting well, or whether he has gained or lost weight.
Perhaps only those who truly care about him and are concerned about him will notice these things?
"Is there anything else?" he asked.
“Political affairs are important, but your health is also very important. Besides, Youning is still young. If you leave too early, how can a child like him shoulder such a heavy burden?” Ye Jingchen said.
"Didn't you say before that I would only live to be thirty?" Xie Chang'an said nonchalantly.
His current state of mind is completely different from when he first heard that he would only live to be thirty.
His family and loved ones are waiting for him in the future; death is no longer something to fear, but something to look forward to.
"Are you sure about your own body and your own mind? If you don't take care of yourself, you might not even live to be thirty?" Ye Jingchen asked quietly.
“If you had died earlier, there might not have been any such thing as rebirth!” he added.
Xie Chang'an: ......
"Since we live in the present, we should cherish every day," Ye Jingchen said earnestly.
"Moreover, even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about You Ning and your people. They need you right now."
"I'll just live well," Xie Chang'an said sullenly.
"Then I will wait for our reunion in the future!" Ye Jingchen said, stretching out his hands and making a heart shape with his fingers towards Xie Chang'an.
Although Xie Chang'an didn't know what the gesture meant, he couldn't help but smile.
Ye Jingchen yawned widely, "I'm sleepy, I should go to bed!"
Xie Chang'an's smile vanished.
Many ways to keep Ye Jingchen from sleeping came to mind, but in the end he gave up on them all.
He escorted Ye Jingchen back to the side hall, then watched as Ye Jingchen lay on the bed, covered himself with the blanket, and closed his eyes.
Xie Chang'an stayed by the bedside, watching Ye Jingchen intently, not daring to blink.
Time passed slowly, and gradually, Xie Chang'an also began to feel sleepy.
Relying on the fact that Ye Jingchen wouldn't wake up once he was asleep, he hesitated for a moment before getting into bed, lying down next to Ye Jingchen, and holding him tightly in his arms.
Sensing the angry look in his other self's eyes, he kissed Ye Jingchen's cheek.
Originally, he wanted to kiss him on the lips, but if he actually did, his other self might forcibly take over his body.
Ye Jingchen's cheeks are so soft; if they were his lips, they would be even softer.
