The three of them hadn't seen him for a long time and decided to see him off. After walking for a distance, Yan Xi asked them to go back.
The three brothers returned to the yard reluctantly.
Yan Xi walked quickly, but heard the sound of horse hooves at the fork in the road leading to Taohua Mountain.
He instinctively glanced back.
The carriage was moving steadily, and when the curtains fluttered, Yan Xi saw the people in the carriage and was stunned.
He Wei, why is he here?
This direction...isn't it going to that place...
Yan Xi's eyes moved slightly. No, he had to follow and see. If he found any flaws, it would be troublesome.
Yan Xi followed carefully all the way. As he expected, the place He Wei was going to was the land where "Lou Jinchuan" was buried.
He brought the offerings to the tombstone, and touched the words on it with a sorrowful look on his face. His eyes were filled with emotions that Yan Xi couldn't understand. "Xiao Jin, I'm here to see you."
Yan Xi looked at it and felt strange. After thinking about it, he hid in the grass, concentrating and calming down, wanting to listen to what He Wei had to say.
After hearing this, Yan Xi felt like he was struck by lightning, his head was buzzing and his body was unstable.
He Wei was speaking tremblingly when he heard a movement in the bushes. His expression changed gloomily and he asked warily, "Who's there?!"
"It's me." Yan Xi stood up, parted the grass, walked towards him, and looked at him with pale lips.
When He Wei saw it was him, his pupils suddenly shrank, and he felt a little flustered. He looked at him in surprise, "Xi'er, why is it you? Did you hear everything I just said?"
Yan Xi remained silent and nodded.
He Wei stumbled, but as a prime minister, he had seen the world and quickly calmed down. "Xi'er, I didn't deliberately hide this matter. I had no choice."
"Are the things you said true?" Yan Xi asked with his lips pulled stiffly.
He Wei looked at the man with red eyes, was silent for a moment, and nodded.
Yan Xi felt a chill in his heart, his whole body trembling uncontrollably, and he closed his eyes in despair.
Some things were so unexpected that he was at a loss.
If I had known these things from the beginning, perhaps I wouldn't be as unprepared as I am today.
"Hehe..." Yan Xi couldn't help but laugh bitterly. In an instant, he felt that the whole world had collapsed, and the taut strings broke at this moment.
Seeing that he was emotional, He Wei reached out, wanting to grab his hand, to comfort and explain, but Yan Xi dodged him, leaving him with nothing. He was a little flustered, "Xi'er?"
Yan Xi stepped back, forcibly suppressing the pain in his heart, and said with difficulty: "Don't worry, I won't tell mother about this. I just... need someone to calm down."
After saying that, he fled quickly.
"Xier..." He Wei withdrew his hand that was hanging in the air weakly, looked at the tombstone behind him, and felt exhausted both physically and mentally, with a listless look.
…
Lou Jinchuan happily prepared his wedding dress and waited for Yan Xi to come, but after waiting for a long time, there was still no sign of her, and he felt uneasy.
It's okay, it will be okay. Senior brother promised him that he would come.
Lou Jinchuan kept comforting himself and waited for a long time, until the sky darkened and the night deepened, and the uneasiness in his heart reached its peak.
With a creak, the door to the backyard of the restaurant was pushed open.
Lou Jinchuan suddenly stood up, his face showing joy. He hurried out and saw a familiar figure. He smiled and said, "Brother, I knew you wouldn't lie to me. What happened to you?"
He looked at the young man with red eyes and dazed expression, his heart tightened and his smile froze instantly.
Yan Xi glanced at the bright red wedding gown on him, feeling a sting in her eyes. Her breathing paused for a moment, and she tugged at the corners of her pale lips, revealing a smile uglier than crying. "Xiao Jin, let's...let's not get married, okay?"
Lou Jinchuan stared at him blankly, his lips trembling, "Why? Don't you want to marry me? Or were all the things you said to me before false?"
"No, it's all true." Yan Xi shook his head, his voice trembling slightly.
Lou Jinchuan didn't know what was going on, but he had a vague feeling that something was wrong. This feeling of losing control was very uncomfortable. "Then why did you suddenly regret it?"
"Because...we..." Yan Xi's voice trembled violently. Thinking of what he was going to say next, he suddenly couldn't breathe. "We are not in that kind of relationship. It's not allowed."
This sentence was like a bombshell, making Lou Jinchuan's whole body cold and his mind blank. "You...you know everything? Who told you? Who?!"
Hearing this, Yan Xi paused and looked at him in disbelief, "What did you say? Did you know about this a long time ago?"
Yes, he remembered that on the day he faked his death, a master took him away. Later, when Lou Jinchuan woke up, he repeatedly confirmed whether he would leave him.
Now that I think about it, he probably knew about this a long time ago, but kept it from me...
"Why... did you hide it from me?" Yan Xi felt cold all over.
He could accept the change in their relationship, but he could not accept that Lou Jinchuan had concealed this fact and wanted to marry him and do those intimate things with him.
They absolutely cannot...
He can't get over this hurdle.
Lou Jinchuan realized that he had said the wrong thing, and he was anxious and trembling as he pulled his arm. "Brother, don't listen to their nonsense. Even if it is true, I don't care, because I like you. I can't give you to someone else. I really can't do it. Besides, didn't you say you don't care about my identity? So...brother, it doesn't matter, right? You like me too, so it really doesn't matter. I don't care. Brother, can you please not care about it?"
Yan Xi opened his mouth, but no sound came out. He calmed down, looked at the frightened man, and slowly said, "Xiao Jin, I can stay with you. I can treat you well like before, but we can't be together. We can't cross the line, okay?"
Lou Jinchuan looked at him, a trace of pain flashed across his face. He suddenly smiled, his eyes slightly red, and shook his head stubbornly, "Not good."
Like before... he doesn't want it!
He just wanted to grow old with his senior brother like a married couple. He couldn't let himself watch him get married with someone else and do intimate things!
Yan Xi was speechless. Seeing him like this, she felt uncomfortable. "That's it for today. Think about it. I'm leaving first."
He turned around, but his wrist tightened. Lou Jinchuan looked at him with a gentle smile, "Brother, you promised me that we would get married. Wouldn't it be a bad idea to leave now?"
That smile was a bit creepy. Yan Xi's heart skipped a beat and he felt a little scared. "Xiao Jin, don't be like this. We really can't get married. Calm down and don't be impulsive."
