Lou Jinchuan was arranged to live in the room next to Yan Xi. This was his initiative, saying that he wanted to be closer to his senior brother.
Yan Xi also agreed to keep him in his own yard so that he could be the first to know if there was any movement.
Yan Xi brought Lou Jinchuan to her room and ordered Ming Zhu and Li Yancheng not to follow.
After closing the door, he said solemnly, "Xiao Jin, after tomorrow, I'll help you get a new human skin mask. Also, you can't live in the farmyard anymore. I'll find you a new place."
"Senior brother, why do you suddenly say that?" Lou Jinchuan was stunned by his emotions and couldn't help but feel a tightness in his heart.
Yan Xi pursed her lips and looked at him with a complicated expression, "I suspect my father already knows your identity. He is too enthusiastic about you. Haven't you noticed?"
“…” Lou Jinchuan was silent.
He had actually discovered it a long time ago.
Logically speaking, as a prime minister who is high above everyone else, He Wei should not be so warm to a stranger like him.
Even though he kept saying that they felt they were compatible and hit it off right away.
But these nonsense seem a bit weird when applied to the two of them.
"Brother, he is your father. I believe you and I believe him. I can see that Lord He has no ill will towards me. Perhaps there is no need to go through so much trouble."
He likes his senior brother, and if he wants to be with him, he will have to face this day sooner or later.
So he couldn't escape.
Yan Xi looked at the young man who trusted her wholeheartedly and was slightly startled. A warm feeling surged in her heart, and she felt inexplicably sweet.
"Xiao Jin, I know my father has no ill will towards you, but that doesn't mean others don't have any. Once your identity is exposed, the consequences will be disastrous. It's all my fault that I didn't handle things rigorously enough back then, leaving behind irreversible hidden dangers. The only thing I can do now is to hide your identity as much as possible and protect you well." Yan Xi showed a trace of self-blame.
He is not ruthless or decisive enough now, and there is no way he can reach the same state of mind as the male protagonist.
If she continues to act without thinking in the future, she won’t be able to surpass the male lead, and she will be worse than the female lead.
"Senior Brother..." Lou Jinchuan opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say. His thoughts were suddenly in a mess.
In the past, he would have been delighted by the young man's concern for him. However, at this moment, for some reason, looking at the person who was carefully considering him, his heart felt like being pricked by a needle. Although it was not very painful, it was extremely uncomfortable.
He really didn't like this feeling and didn't want his senior brother to worry about him.
The most important thing is that he is the descendant of a criminal, now and in the future. He will never be able to love him openly with his true identity and true face, let alone stand in front of him as a lover.
From childhood to adulthood, he has only faced his true face a handful of times, and sometimes even he himself has forgotten what he looks like.
Compared to his senior brother, he is so insignificant.
My senior brother wants to be the top scholar in the imperial examination, to be an official in the court, to care about the world, and to do things for the people of the world.
By that time, would he still be able to take care of his junior brother?
If one day his identity is completely exposed and the He family is implicated, the first person to bear the brunt will be his senior brother.
Lou Jinchuan didn't want to see this day come.
What's more... he also bears the heavy burden of overturning his father's injustice, and he can't continue to be insignificant like this.
Isn't it for this purpose that he has been practicing martial arts so hard in recent years?
However, having superb martial arts skills is only the first step. He may be facing the current emperor, and this is far from enough.
He needed to be strong, he needed...power, the power that would make the emperor willing to clear his father's name.
Lou Jinchuan clenched his fists. At that moment, an emotion called desire surged from the bottom of his heart and rushed into his mind, slowly spreading in his brain.
"Brother, I know what to do."
"What?" Yan Xi was confused.
Lou Jinchuan's childish brows were now filled with an invisible power. His beautiful eyes were as dark as ink, and faintly revealed an aura that made people unconsciously tense up. "Protect yourself."
"That's good." Yan Xi swallowed, his heart beating uncontrollably.
Oh my god, is this his illusion?
Why does he feel like the male lead has suddenly been promoted?
