Li Yancheng took Yan Xi not directly back to the palace, but went to a nearby villa instead.
When the housekeeper who was in charge of the villa heard that he was coming, he hurried out to greet him.
But when she saw him holding a man in his arms, she froze for a moment, then regained her indifferent expression and asked in a low voice, "Your Highness, would you like me to arrange a room for this young master?"
"No need. Ask someone to make some sobering soup and send it to my room." Li Yancheng replied indifferently, then carried the person straight to his permanent bedroom.
The housekeeper was slightly startled, but didn't dare to say anything. He followed his instructions and gave orders to the servants.
Li Yancheng's room is quiet and elegant, exuding the faint fragrance of orchids.
After entering the room, he gently placed the person on the bed and covered him with a quilt. Then he sat quietly on the edge of the bed, staring at the young man intently.
Li Yancheng reached out and stroked Yan Xi's cheek, his expression softer than ever before.
"…You're just a replacement."
Those words suddenly rang in my ears.
His movements froze.
These words were like a needle that accurately pierced the most vulnerable part of Li Yancheng's heart, causing some pain.
Thinking of the letter Yan Xi wrote to him not long ago, the sentence "just like an old friend" clearly proved to him that Lou Jinchuan's words were not false.
So everything He Yanxi said to him on the street was said to another person?
Alternatives... hehe...
Li Yancheng just thought it was a little ridiculous.
He doesn't want to be anyone's substitute. If you provoke him, don't think of using these excuses to leave.
No matter whether he is Han Chengyi or Lou Jinchuan, no one can take He Yanxi away from him.
Li Yancheng narrowed his eyes and placed his fingertips on the young man's wet eyelashes.
No matter who you like, you can only stay with me.
The inexplicable paranoia and possessiveness towards Yan Xi in his heart were like spider silk, tightly entangling him and growing wildly like weeds.
So what if it’s a substitute? As long as I can get him, this face will be a help.
You have to resort to some tricks, don't you?
Thinking of this, Li Yancheng curled his lips slightly, and his eyes, which were originally as black as ink, became even darker, mixed with a strange light.
Not long after, the housekeeper brought some sobering soup and Li Yancheng woke Yan Xi up.
Yan Xi, half conscious, leaned aimlessly in his arms, feeling very sleepy. She grumbled in dissatisfaction with his wake-up call, "I feel dizzy and want to sleep."
"Be good, drink the hangover soup and you won't feel dizzy anymore." Li Yancheng's voice was low and gentle, with a kind of magical power that could calm people down. Yan Xi's dissatisfaction unconsciously subsided a little, "Oh, okay."
He lazily held the bowl, drank it all, fell asleep, covered himself with a quilt, rolled around on the bed, and quickly fell asleep like a cicada pupa.
The series of movements were extremely smooth, leaving Li Yancheng and the housekeeper beside him stunned.
Li Yancheng was the first to react. He couldn't help but chuckle twice, his voice full of joy.
Seeing this, the housekeeper looked at his nose and heart, lowered his head slightly, and stepped forward, "Your Highness, please give the bowl to this old servant."
Hearing this, Li Yancheng suppressed his smile and handed it to him, "Tell them to prepare hot water. This prince wants to take a bath."
"Yes." The butler retreated.
…
Li Yancheng finished his bath and it was already late at night. He tiptoed into the room, lay down beside Yan Xi, gently moved his position, moved closer to him, and reached out to hold him in his arms.
Yan Xi fell into a warm embrace while sleeping, and he went with the flow and snuggled in without feeling any discomfort at all.
Li Yancheng was stunned for a moment, then hugged him and fell asleep happily.
As time passed, the night outside the window gradually became darker and then lighter.
The first ray of sunlight in the morning penetrated the clouds and fell on Li Yancheng through the window.
The clear chirping of birds penetrated my ears from near and far.
Yan Xi, who had a good night's sleep, smacked her lips and turned over, only to bump her head against a wall of flesh.
He frowned, realizing something was wrong, opened his eyes in confusion, and raised his head to find Li Yancheng staring at him quietly, his eyebrows and eyes were picturesque, and his face was gentle.
Yan Xi's mind suddenly buzzed, and her eyes widened in disbelief. She was startled and sat up abruptly, stepping back. She looked at him with a blush on her cheeks, and spoke incoherently, "You... me... yesterday, there was nothing wrong between us, right?"
Li Yancheng propped up his head with a half-smile, his expression lazy, "What do you think?"
"I, I..." Yan Xi was extremely anxious and tried hard to recall the memories of last night. When the hazy and intermittent images finished flashing through his mind, he covered his face and dared not look him in the eye.
Damn it! What did he do yesterday?
Drinking alcohol can lead to mistakes, the ancients were right, woo woo woo...
Seeing the young man covering his face tightly and not moving for a long time, Li Yancheng frowned, worried that he couldn't breathe. He sighed and reluctantly moved his hand away, revealing Yan Xi's red face and dodging big eyes. "We didn't do anything. You don't have to cover yourself. You'll suffocate."
Yan Xi pulled her hand away, took a deep breath, forced herself to calm down, looked at the affectionate man in front of her, pursed her lips, and said, "Your Highness, I'm sorry for yesterday..."
Li Yancheng's eyes darkened, and he grabbed his hand and placed it on his heart. "Yanxi, you know, I don't need your apology. I want you."
Yan Xi felt the strong heartbeat and her heart trembled. She wanted to shrink back in panic, but Li Yancheng held her tighter. The next moment, he took advantage of her unpreparedness and pulled her suddenly. Yan Xi fell into his arms unexpectedly.
In an instant, Li Yancheng turned over, held him under him, lowered his head, and moved closer and closer.
Yan Xi was flustered and pushed him suddenly. Li Yancheng was caught off guard and fell to the side.
So he stood up in a panic, ran off the bed, and stood away from him, "Your Majesty, please respect yourself. Everything that happened yesterday was my fault. I apologize to you here."
As he said this, he knelt down and bowed deeply.
Li Yancheng watched as inexplicable anger rushed into his brain, causing waves of dull pain that made him feel a little suffocated. The dark thoughts in his mind were like a beast that was about to break out of its cage, crashing into his reason.
He tried hard to suppress those extreme emotions, his expression was indifferent, "You can go."
"Thank you, Your Highness." Yan Xi hurriedly stood up, looked at him nervously, and left in a hurry.
Li Yancheng watched him leave expressionlessly, a trace of hurt appearing in his dark eyes.
He Yanxi...this is the last time.
Let you go for the last time.
