After Xiao Jingwen came out of the underground dungeon, he changed his clothes before going to find Yan Xi.
However, when he opened the door, he found the porridge and chicken legs on the table in the empty room were still uneaten.
He looked in other places, but there was no sign of the boy.
"Don't look for him anymore. He's back at the Shangshu Mansion." Ji Wushang walked up slowly from behind. "When he left, I saw he looked flustered. What did you do?"
Xiao Jingwen pursed his thin lips, which turned slightly pale. It took him a long time to find his voice, "I kissed him."
Ji Wushang frowned, not knowing what to say for a moment.
"I was too impatient." Xiao Jingwen felt regretful.
"One day you will break through that layer of window paper, maybe it will be better if it happens sooner." At least it is better to end things that have no results in advance.
Xiao Jingwen clenched his fists and felt depressed.
Ji Wushang patted his shoulder and said, "Give him some time to calm down. Come back to him later."
Xiao Jingwen lowered his eyes, "Yeah."
…
Yan Xi quietly returned to the Shangshu Mansion. When Liu Ye saw him, she hurried over and said, "Second Young Master, where have you been? I've been looking for you all night. The eldest young master came to ask about you several times. I'm almost out of excuses."
Yan Xi said dryly, "I accidentally got drunk yesterday and slept in an inn for the night."
"Ah?" Liu Ye was surprised. "Second Young Master, why are you drinking again?"
"Shh!" Yan Xi covered his mouth, panicked, and hurriedly pulled him back to the house, "Be quiet, don't let my elder brother hear."
"Why don't you let me hear it?" Chu Junyao's voice sounded faintly.
Yan Xi's heart skipped a beat in shock. She turned around and gave him a stiff smile, "Hahaha, well, big brother. When did you come? Why didn't I hear your footsteps?"
Chu Junyao chuckled, then changed his expression. The next moment, his face turned cold and he said in a deep voice, "Liu Ye, go out first. The Second Young Master and I have something to say."
Liu Ye looked at Yan Xi worriedly, lowered her head and silently retreated.
Close the door.
In the room, Yan Xi stared at Chu Junyao nervously.
"Tell me, where did you go last night?" Chu Junyao broke the silence first, his tone full of interrogation.
Yan Xi subconsciously acted like a primary school student being scolded by his teacher. He was panicked and repeated what he had just said to Liu Ye.
Chu Junyao's eyes were sharp, "You're lying."
Yan Xi felt guilty and pretended to be calm, "I didn't."
Chu Junyao's face darkened slightly. "Yesterday, Fifth Miss Murong told me that you were taken away. His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin went to look for you. Later, someone informed me that you..."
As he spoke, a chill emanated from his body. "You were poisoned by a charmer and stayed with Prince Jin all night, right?"
The truth was exposed, and Yan Xi panicked, "...Yes, but His Highness used medicine to detoxify me, it's not what you think."
"Really?" Chu Junyao stared at him closely.
"It's more real than pearls!" Yan Xi nodded, looking serious.
Seeing that he didn't seem to be lying, Chu Junyao was relieved and his tense nerves relaxed. "Tell me the whole story. Don't let Dad know for the time being. Understand?"
"I understand." Yan Xi nodded obediently and told him everything that happened yesterday, of course omitting the fact that he hugged Xiao Jingwen and bit him when his mind was confused.
"The Fourth Prince..." Chu Junyao's heart sank. What else was there that he didn't understand? This was clearly a struggle between two princes, and Yan Xi was involved for no reason.
"From now on, you should keep your distance from the two princes. It's best to stay far away from them."
Yan Xi clasped his hands and did not answer immediately.
"Yanxi? Did you hear what I said?"
"Yeah, I heard it." Yan Xi responded in a low voice.
Seeing his distraught look, Chu Junyao felt complicated. "You're not young anymore. Dad and I are planning to arrange a marriage for you. Do you have someone you like?"
Hearing this, Yan Xi clenched his fingers, raised his eyes suddenly, and stood up straight, "Brother... I, I..."
I kept saying "I" for a long time but couldn't make any sense of it. My mind was blank.
Chu Junyao looked at the panicked and helpless young man, pursed his lips, and turned his head away with a determined heart, "Do you like the fifth daughter of the Murong family? You have been in danger many times, all for her. If you want, big brother and father will pick an auspicious day..."
Speaking of this, Murong Xing's unparalleled beautiful face appeared before his eyes.
Chu Junyao felt a pang of sadness in his heart and said, "I'm here to propose marriage to you."
"Propose marriage..." Yan Xi murmured, his blank brain filled with the words "mission" and "Xiao Jingwen". After struggling for a long time, he squeezed out a word from between his teeth, using almost all his strength, "Okay."
Hearing the affirmative answer, Chu Junyao clenched his hands behind his back, then quietly loosened them, "For the next few days, read well at home."
"Okay." Yan Xi said in a muffled voice.
Chu Junyao turned around and stared at him for a while, with a complicated look in his eyes.
The two men had different thoughts and were silent.
Chu Junyao left with his hands behind his back.
Yan Xi seemed to have had all his strength drained away. He sat down limply on the bed without saying a word.
Marrying the heroine was his original goal. Now someone is planning for him, shouldn't he be happy?
Once he and the heroine get married and develop a good relationship, the mission will be accomplished.
Once the mission is completed, there is no need to worry about being wiped out.
He can continue to live, complete more tasks, and then exchange for the opportunity to be reborn and return to his own world.
It's pretty good.
It's just a task.
Yan Xi took off her shoes, hugged her legs tightly, rested her head lightly on her arms, and looked blankly.
Sat for a very long time.
