How could Li Yancheng not hear such a tactful refusal? He immediately felt a little disappointed. He quietly clenched his fists and forced a stiff smile. "It's okay. Have a good rest. I'm leaving."
"Well, take care, Your Highness." Yan Xi didn't dare to look up at his impeccably handsome face.
Seeing this, Li Yancheng could no longer maintain the smile on his face. He tilted his head and glanced coldly at Lou Jinchuan, who had a dull expression, then turned away unwillingly.
As soon as the person left, Lou Jinchuan held the broken sword, his facial muscles relaxed, and he approached with an innocent look, tentatively calling out, "Senior Brother."
Yan Xi glared at him unhappily, "Go back to your room."
"Okay, okay." Lou Jinchuan nodded obediently.
Yan Xi caught a glimpse of the broken sword in his arms and frowned, "Wait a minute, what happened to your sword?"
Lou Jinchuan, who was about to run away, froze and smiled unnaturally, "I accidentally broke it when I was leaving just now."
Yan Xi looked at him quietly, pinched the remaining bandage on his hand, and instantly understood what was going on. He put on a death smile and said, "Did you break it when you fell or when you were fighting with someone?"
Lou Jinchuan was exposed, and his heart was slightly flustered, but his face was extremely calm. "It's so late, who can I fight with? Brother, don't think too much, it's just broken."
Broken? Haha.
The sword he gave him was specially made by a famous swordsman in Lin'an. Even if it was not a peerless sword in the world, it was at least made by a famous swordsman. If it broke when it was dropped, wouldn't the reputation of that swordsman be ruined?
He saw that this guy was fighting with Li Yancheng, one was injured and the other had a broken sword.
Yan Xi sent Ming Zhu away, "Ming Zhu, go prepare some clothes first, I'll be there later."
"Okay, I'll do it right away." Mingzhu ran away as if he had been pardoned.
It's really not appropriate for him to be present at this kind of occasion.
There were only two of them left in the yard. They didn't talk to each other and it was quite quiet.
The young man knew that what he did today was very abnormal in the eyes of the other party, and it also revealed his feelings for him. He didn't dare to speak, but his black eyes were full of nervousness and anxiety.
Yan Xi looked at the uneasy person, feeling mixed emotions in his heart, and chose to be the first to break the silence, "Xiao Jin, I am your senior brother."
Lou Jinchuan gripped the broken sword tightly, his fingertips turning white. He suddenly raised his eyes and looked at him steadily, his lips trembling. "I know, but it's not a big deal, is it?"
Yan Xi pursed her lips, "You are still young, you just rely on me."
"It's not dependence!" Lou Jinchuan's voice suddenly rose several degrees, and he said stubbornly: "It's love."
Yan Xi was stunned by the sudden high note.
Realizing he had frightened him, the young man adjusted his mentality, calmed down, and tried to speak softly, "I like my brother. I know that in the eyes of others, it is abnormal for a man to like another man, but I can't help it. I can't control my heart. I'm not young anymore. I'm fourteen years old and already of marriageable age."
Yan Xi opened his mouth, caught in a dilemma.
He hesitated again.
He knew very well that when a person hesitated, it meant that he had his own answer.
But the answer is hidden behind a mess, and you need to calm down and sort it out.
Don't make hasty decisions easily.
“Senior Brother…”
"Let me think about it." Yan Xi looked up at him.
Lou Jinchuan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly felt that there was a turning point, and then a look of joy appeared on his face, "Okay."
Yan Xi pursed her lips and went to the bathroom absent-mindedly.
…
The night is as dark as ink.
Neither Lou Jinchuan nor Yan Xi could sleep.
Lou Jinchuan was waiting for the answer, all kinds of possibilities appeared in his mind, and he had no sleepiness.
Yan Xi lay in bed, tossing and turning, his mind about to explode.
System 5555 noticed that he was constantly tossing and turning and sighing frequently. Curiosity was piqued. "What's wrong with you? You've been irritable all day."
Yan Xi sighed, "I'm struggling with a problem."
System 5555: "What's the problem?"
"For example, suppose you have something you love dearly and suddenly lose it one day. You are very sad. You search for it for a long time and try many ways but still can't find it. Then, it suddenly appears in front of you. It looks exactly like the thing you lost, even the wear and tear are the same. So you believe that this is the thing you lost.
Just when you are overjoyed to have your lost item back, another one comes along, but this one doesn’t look like yours and has no signs of wear, so you think it has nothing to do with you. But when you hold it in your hand, you feel an inexplicable sense of familiarity, and your intuition tells you that this is the beloved thing you lost. What should you choose?
System 5555: "Of course I'd choose the second one. Is that even a question?"
Yan Xi was stunned, "Why?"
System 5555 looked at him like he was a fool. "Didn't you say it yourself? Your intuition tells you that the second one is your favorite."
"Oh, why didn't I think of that?" Yan Xi touched his lips and suddenly laughed silently, "But how do you explain the first one? Look, it looks exactly like the thing you lost before, it has everything, it can't be fake."
System 5555 said with disdain, "You're so stupid! When you put on the human skin mask and carefully disguised yourself, didn't you also look exactly like the person you wanted to impersonate? Obviously, this first one was deliberately created to confuse you, so that they could hide the real second one from you."
