Yan Xi changed out of black clothes and heard Zhu Li coming to see him, so he went out to meet him.
When Zhu Li told the news of Lou Jinchuan's death, Yan Xi used his previous acting skills as an award-winning actor to perfectly portray the role of a senior brother who heard that his close junior brother had suddenly passed away.
He hurried to the farmyard and saw the "dead" Lou Jinchuan. He was immediately shocked and almost fainted from sadness.
Wang Xiaoer, Zhu Li and Zhao Zhi all urged him to mourn.
Yan Xi asked what happened with red eyes, checked Lou Jinchuan's wound, and angrily threatened to find the murderer behind it and kill him as soon as possible.
Then he pretended to be strong and discussed Lou Jinchuan's funeral arrangements, and wrote a letter to inform Pang Hao.
At dawn the next day, Pang Hao rushed back overnight.
Wang Xiaoer, Zhao Zhi and Zhu Li were guarding outside the door. The doors and windows of the room were closed. Only Pang Hao, Yan Xi, and Lou Jinchuan, who was lying on the bed with no signs of life, were there.
Pang Hao looked at the pale-faced boy, pursed his lips, and sadness stained his brows.
He held the boy's hand and talked for a long time. As he was talking, he noticed something strange, paused, and looked at Yan Xi.
Yan Xi looked outside the room, then looked at him again, choking with sobs, "Master, don't be too sad. Although Xiao Jin is gone, I believe he will be with us in another way, just like what my mother said when my grandmother passed away, he will become a star in the sky to protect us."
Pang Hao lowered his eyes, savoring these words carefully. He looked at Lou Jinchuan on the bed with dim eyes and smiled sadly, "Okay."
Then the two discussed how to deal with Lou Jinchuan's funeral. The final result of the discussion was to bury him the day after tomorrow, near the farmyard, hoping that he would be buried in peace as soon as possible.
The masked man hiding in the dark witnessed the entire burial process and reported the matter to He Wei.
He Wei became depressed again and drank a few glasses of wine.
That night, in a thatched hut in the nearby Peach Blossom Mountain, the light of an oil lamp flickered.
There was a small bed in the narrow room. Yan Xi gently placed the handsome young man on the bed, took out a small porcelain bottle from his sleeve, poured out a pill and put it into the young man's mouth.
Soon, the boy's long eyelashes trembled slightly, opening his deep eyes.
He looked at the handsome young man beside the bed, his throat was hard, and he opened his mouth for a long time before he uttered, "Senior Brother."
"Huh? What's wrong? Are you not feeling well?" Yan Xi tilted her head and looked at him puzzledly.
Could it be that he suffocated in the coffin?
Lou Jinchuan sat up and looked at the confused man, with a lot of thoughts in his mind, but he couldn't speak.
Seeing him hesitant to speak, Yan Xi frowned, quickly supported his shoulders, and asked nervously: "Are you feeling unwell?"
"No." Lou Jinchuan shook his head and just stared at him deeply, "Brother, I like you very much."
Yan Xi's heart was relieved. After hearing the last sentence, he couldn't help but laugh, "I know."
"I... don't want to be separated from you. I don't want to see you marry and have children with others. I just want you to stay by my side and belong to me forever." With every word Lou Jinchuan spoke, his eyes darkened a little. In the end, they were as black as ink, and all that was reflected in his eyes was the shadow of the young man.
Hearing this, Yan Xi burst out laughing. He thought it was something else, but this guy came again.
"Okay, okay, it belongs to you alone, inside and out." He pinched the corner of the boy's mouth, "Don't always have a stern face, smile, today is the day of your rebirth."
"Yeah." Hearing these answers, Lou Jinchuan curled the corners of his lips and smiled as he wished.
"You little brats, so you're here. I've been looking for you for so long." Pang Hao's voice suddenly rang out from outside the house.
They both looked at him.
There were a few leaves stuck to Pang Hao's head, and he looked a little disheveled, apparently having been searching for a long time.
His eyes fell on the young man on the bed. He hurried into the room, looked him over several times, and said solemnly, "What are you guys up to? You didn't even inform your master."
Yan Xi smiled awkwardly, "Master, this is a long story, Xiao Jin and I will just briefly explain it to you."
The two of them explained the whole story to him one after another.
“…That’s why we chose to hide it from everyone and staged a fake death.” Yan Xi swallowed with a dry mouth.
Pang Hao stroked his chin, looked at Lou Jinchuan, pursed his lips and said, "I was wondering why you two always wear human skin masks. It turns out that Xiao Jin is actually the son of Qin Wang Lou Ji. This is a serious matter, so it makes sense that you are so cautious. But why does Lord He care so much about Xiao Jin?"
Lou Jinchuan's heart suddenly jumped, but he remained calm. "Combined with what my senior brother said, I think Lord He must be concerned about me because of our long-standing friendship with my parents and he couldn't bear to see the Lou family disappear.
Pang Hao nodded thoughtfully, "What are you going to do now?"
Yan Xi said: "I want to create a new identity for Xiao Jin so that she can live on."
Lou Jinchuan looked at the young man, lowered his head silently, and said something that Yan Xi and Pang Hao did not expect, "I want to serve as an official in the court."
