"Does it look good?" Xiao Jingwen looked at the stunned boy and his eyes softened.
The young man stared at the vast fields of crabapple blossoms in front of him, his eyes fixed. When the spring breeze blew, petals would float over his head, and everywhere he looked was pink. The beautiful scene of falling petals was shocking.
"It looks good!" Yan Xi's dark eyes sparkled, and his whole face reflected the color of the crabapple flowers, white with a hint of pink, and his expression was excited.
His favorite flower is the crabapple, because his mother likes it very much. When he was a child, there were several crabapple trees planted in the small yard of his home. Influenced by her, he also has a special liking for crabapple.
But it was the first time he had seen so many crabapple flowers, and he couldn't see enough of them at a glance.
"This place is so beautiful, why have I never heard of it before?" Yan Xi asked excitedly.
Xiao Jingwen raised the corners of his lips and gently plucked the petals on his head. His eyes were full of his reflection. "It appeared because of you."
Knowing that the boy liked crabapples, before spring came, he ordered people to buy this place and plant crabapples there to cater to his taste.
"You showed up because of me?" Yan Xi looked at him blankly, with a confused look on her face, as if she was surprised and suspicious. What did he mean?
Xiao Jingwen took a step forward, and the two of them suddenly got very close, so close that the young man could clearly feel the warm breath surrounding him.
A hint of tenderness appeared in Xiao Jingwen's eyes. He quietly held his hand and smiled softly, "I planted it for you. Do you like it?"
The young man was much taller than him, and Yan Xi was forced to look up at him. Looking into his ink-black eyes, his heart began to beat wildly, and ripples instantly appeared in the calm lake of his heart.
The young man's hands were large and warm. When his palms touched his, he felt inexplicably hot and a thin layer of sweat appeared on his palms.
"I like it. I want to go in and take a look." Yan Xi was panicked and wanted to pull back his hand, but it was held even tighter.
"I'll accompany you." Xiao Jingwen smiled lightly and took him to walk in the sea of crabapple flowers. The ground was covered with petals, and every step left a footprint.
The two of them are a beautiful scenery in themselves, and when they are mixed in the sea of flowers, they are even more beautiful like a dream.
Yan Xi followed him blankly. He didn't hear anything Xiao Jingwen said, but sweat kept coming out of his palms, making them wet and slippery.
Xiao Jingwen noticed that the boy looked dazed, and the smile on his lips deepened. He put his arm around his waist and took a walk in the sea of flowers.
The two were so immersed in it that they didn't notice two people watching in the distance.
The man was wearing a gorgeous white brocade robe. His eyebrows were somewhat similar to Xiao Jingwen, and his appearance was equally exquisite, but he was slightly inferior to Xiao Jingwen.
The black-clad guard beside him looked at the two people behaving intimately in the sea of flowers, his eyes flashing, "Master, it's His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin and the second son of Minister Chu's family. Their relationship seems... a little too intimate."
Xiao Jingyan always had a faint smile on his face. "I heard that Minister Chu's wife, Yan, was once the most beautiful woman in the capital. Chu Yanxi took after her mother and has a delicate and pretty face, just like a girl. It's hard not to be moved by such a beauty, isn't it?"
The black-clad guard lowered his head: "But he is a man after all."
Xiao Jingyan chuckled lightly, revealing a hint of sarcasm, "So what if he's a man? Which prince or noble hasn't had such an idea? It's just that they kept it secret more tightly."
The black-clad guard said nothing.
“Alas…” Xiao Jingyan sighed, his tone was worried, but there was no worry in his eyes. “My ninth brother is too careless. If this gets out, his reputation will be ruined. We must keep it a secret. It would be good to help when necessary.”
The black-clad guard named Invisible understood, "I understand."
Jamel Xiao nodded lightly, staring at Yan Xi in the distance, his eyes slightly narrowed.
Chu Yanxi.
Huh... He was really curious about the man who could make a man like his ninth brother fall in love with him.
