In the Imperial College, on a small path, the trees on both sides of the road are lush and green, and the sunlight shines through the gaps between the leaves onto the road, dotted with stars.
"Hey, you know what? The Ninth Prince made a fool of himself again yesterday. It was such a serious matter as the opening of school and offering sacrifices to the Confucius Temple. Everyone was listening quietly to Mr. Baili's speech, but the Ninth Prince was the only one making those weird noises and even ripping his clothes to tickle himself in public. Tsk tsk."
"I know what's going on." A young man glanced around and whispered, "I heard that the Third Prince tampered with the Ninth Prince's clothes, so the Ninth Prince is like this."
Upon hearing this, the others focused and asked, "Speaking of which, why is it that the Third Prince and the Ninth Prince are always at odds?"
"I heard from my mother that it seemed that the Ninth Prince's mother took advantage of Concubine Shu's downfall to get into his bed. And most importantly, his mother and Concubine Shu were once good friends, and they look very similar."
"Tsk tsk, no wonder, the Ninth Prince's mother is so shameless. It's really unlucky for Concubine Shu to have such a good friend."
Just as he finished saying this, the man caught a glimpse of a pair of dark eyes staring straight at him.
When everyone took a closer look, they saw the handsome young man looking at them expressionlessly with cold eyes.
A few people shuddered, pretended not to see it, and left quickly.
The young man stared at the backs of the departing figures for a long time, pursed his thin lips, and the coldness between his brows lingered for a long time.
It took him a long time to look away, and he clenched his hands at his sides.
Don't be impulsive. My mother and uncle said that until you have grown strong enough, you must be patient in everything.
Xiao Jingwen closed his eyes, loosened his hands, and was about to leave when something suddenly hit him hard on the head, causing him to frown in pain.
I saw a green pear fall at my feet.
Along with it came a few leaves.
He looked up and saw a young boy hiding in a tree, holding a pear in his mouth and several more in his arms. When he saw him looking at him, he took the pear from his mouth and smiled awkwardly, "Um... I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. The pear was about to fall down by itself."
The young boy has a very delicate appearance. Unlike other boys, he looks more like a girl in disguise. His beautiful peach blossom eyes are crystal clear and his skin glows white in the sunlight. When he smiles, his eyebrows are curved, and he looks very innocent, which makes people feel soft-hearted.
He seems to have not reached the voice change period yet, and his baby voice makes him look even more innocent and cute.
Xiao Jingwen pursed his lips, glanced at him indifferently, and turned away with an indifferent expression.
"Oh, wait a minute! Don't go... Ah! My pears!" The young boy seemed too anxious. With a slight movement, all the pears in his arms fell down, but this time Xiao Jingwen dodged them all with agility.
I thought it was just a fallen pear, and I could be fine if I dodged it, but the next moment the little boy above me screamed, "Help!"
Xiao Jingwen suddenly looked up and found that he had stepped on empty air and fell down. Seeing this, Xiao Jingwen was quick to catch the person and held him in his arms.
The person in his arms blinked in confusion, then his eyes lit up and he grinned happily, "Hey? I'm fine!"
How should I put it, this person is a bit stupid.
Xiao Jingwen's mouth twitched. He put the man down and was about to leave when his clothes were pulled by someone. The young boy, who was much shorter than him, looked at him with sparkling eyes, "My savior! Wait a minute, I don't even know your name. My name is Chu Yanxi, what's yours?"
Xiao Jingwen lowered his eyes to look at him, and under his eyes full of expectation, he whispered, "Xiao Jingwen."
"Xiao Jingwen? Oh, I see, you are the Ninth Prince! My eldest brother said that the Ninth Prince is the most handsome man in Dongli Kingdom. I didn't expect it to be true. You are so handsome!" Yan Xi praised generously, without a trace of impurities in his bright eyes.
Xiao Jingwen was slightly stunned. In fact, he hated others saying that he was good-looking, because every time they said this, their eyes were full of dirty emotions, but the young boy in front of him only had pure admiration.
"Thank you." He replied calmly.
"Wait a moment, I'll pick them up." Yan Xi put them into his pocket one by one, wiped them clean, and handed them to him. "This pear is so sweet, try it. I have a lot more here. If you like it, I'll give you half."
Unable to refuse such a kind offer, Xiao Jingwen hesitated for a moment, took it, took a bite, and it was indeed very sweet.
"How is it? Is it sweet?" Yan Xi tilted his head and asked with a smile.
Xiao Jingwen was touched by the way he tilted his head, paused, and nodded.
"Hehe, I think so too. I'll give these to you." Yan Xi stuffed them all at once and clapped his hands. "My savior, since you accepted my gift, how about we become friends?"
Xiao Jingwen was a little confused and looked at him blankly, "But..." We just met.
"Okay? I think so too! It's settled then. Don't worry, as my friend, if I have something to eat, you'll have something to drink. Friends are all about loyalty." Before he could finish, Yan Xi hurriedly said, "Have you had lunch? If not, let's go together. I know a restaurant that serves delicious sweet and sour pork ribs. Come on, I'll take you there!"
The young boy didn't give him a chance to speak and dragged him forward.
Xiao Jingwen, who was being dragged away: "..." Is this person too familiar?
