34 Adore You
◎My heart is not made of stone; it cannot be turned◎
Tasteless, absolutely tasteless.
Tian Nongxi stuffed the food into his mouth carelessly, and he and Tian Yaozu glanced at the extra person at the table at the same time.
Tian Yaozu was young and couldn't hide his doubts about the sudden appearance of this person, while Tian Nongxi was a little overwhelmed, and his inner defenses collapsed like a tsunami.
The man who jumped down from the tree was called Wenxun, Lin... Wen Tingluan's confidant.
This person has been staying by her side, claiming that he is worried that something might happen to her, but she always feels that something is wrong.
What could have happened to her? Did she get hoeed to death? Did she get hit on the hand by a slapping scissors? Or was she beaten to death for adding too much salt to her cooking?
None of these are as outrageous as picking up a prince casually.
Although Tian Nongxi was unhappy about Wen Tingluan's concealment of the truth from her, she was more filled with burning hope.
I believe that anything His Royal Highness the Crown Prince appreciates can be pawned in exchange for a hundred acres of land, and then he can plant whatever he wants.
Her eyes rolled around and the corners of her mouth rose slightly.
The fan was a little unhappy about being ignored, so he called the Crown Prince for help.
His sight was suddenly blocked by a white hand, and then a chopstick of vegetables appeared in the bowl. Tian Nongxi looked up at the bony hand and met the smiling eyes of the owner of the hand.
She lowered her head and angrily took a big mouthful of rice.
Thinking of what Wen Tingluan said before dinner, he suddenly became listless, burying his face in the bowl and refusing to come out for air.
When Tian Yaozu came out with some grass in his mouth and called them to eat, Wen Xun disappeared in a flash. Only Tian Nongxi and Wen Tingluan were left in the huge yard.
Looking at Tian Yaozu's back, the man suddenly approached, and his cold body temperature made Tian Nongxi move away in an instant.
He smiled lightly, took a few steps back, looked at her with tender eyes, but the words he said made Tian Nongxi feel like she was falling into an icy cave, "Who are you?"
Thinking of this, Tian Nongxi couldn't help but shudder. His chopsticks poked deep into the rice, and he was frightened by Huang's scream and fell to the ground. He rolled around for a few times before stopping.
"You are such a jerk!" Huang's eyes were full of impatience.
Tian Nongxi bent down to pick it up, glanced under the table, and caught a glimpse of the jade pendant hanging around Wen Tingluan's waist.
The style clearly matches the one in her room perfectly.
When Tian Nongxi stood up, he had not yet controlled his expression, and he looked very upset. He sat upright and looked at the empty bowl in front of him, not daring to look around.
The only sound at the dinner table was Tian Yaozu picking at his food, and Tian Nongxi could hear his own heartbeat getting faster and faster.
She was caught when she was glancing at Wen Tingluan beside her. She looked away in panic, but that burning gaze lingered for a long time, burning her earlobe until it was red and bleeding.
The other two people at the table were unaware of the undercurrent. After Tian Yaozu finished his meal, he threw his bowl away and left. Huang softened her tone and asked her granddaughter to clean up.
It happened that Tian Nongxi wanted to escape. She quickly piled up the bowls and left, rushing into the kitchen, without noticing that there was someone following her not far away.
Wen Tingluan put down the bowl in his hand that was forgotten by Tian Nongxi and said harmlessly, "Are you hiding from me?"
“…” Comrade, you have changed.
The bowl in his hand had become something new. Tian Nongxi stared at it intently without blinking, and squeezed out the words between his teeth, "No, how could it be possible?"
Wen Tingluan tilted his head, his eyes burning: "So, can you tell me your identity?"
Is this revenge?
Tian Nongxi squeezed the bowl with some force and said hesitantly, "What's your identity? I'm not the crown prince..."
"You can be the Crown Princess."
One stone can cause a thousand ripples.
Tian Nongxi's hand slipped, and the already chipped bowl suffered further damage.
She looked at Wen Tingluan who picked up the bowl, and the sudden verification of her guess brought her not joy, but confusion.
They both spoke at the same time.
"Do you like me?"
"You please me."
Wen Tingluan readily admitted it, staring into her eyes and nodding, "Yes, I admire you."
"Is that so..." Tian Nongxi was shocked by her own charisma. The chipped bowl in her hand had transformed into a three-day trip to the Maldives from a dating show. Just as she was about to claim it, she suddenly came to her senses and asked, "Wait... what did you just say?"
"You like me." Wen Tingluan said affirmatively.
No, is this still possible?
Even in modern society, there is no such thing as forcing the person you like to give immediate feedback after confessing your feelings, right?
Tian Nongxi shook his head in avoidance.
"Then why are you so happy to see me?" Wen Tingluan added calmly, "Your eyes are bright and you're so close to me. Do you want to hug me?"
Questions I've never thought about.
"I just miss you." Tian Nongxi said softly.
"'Miss you'?" Wen Tingluan sighed and taught earnestly, "In the Western world, wives miss their husbands who have left home."
"Huh?" Tian Nongxi felt like he was being led astray. He leaned his hands on the stove and took a few steps away. He continued disapprovingly, "But I also miss my family and friends who I haven't seen for a long time."
"I've only been away for a few days, does it feel like a long time since I last saw you?"
“…”
"Do you think of me as your family or your friend?"
"Friend!" Tian Nongxi answered quickly.
"Your friends adore you." Wen Tingluan's tone was somewhat distressed. He sighed half-heartedly and said in a long tone, "But what should I do?"
"Why don't you stop adoring me?"
Tian Nongxi made a suggestion, which was silently rejected.
She was in a dilemma.
She is naturally nice, and it's normal for anyone to like her.
Not to mention the prince, even if a god came, he would say, "Wow, Tian Nongxi, you are such a smart and kind girl. I love you to the core."
But...why was it Wen Tingluan?
She never even paid him a salary!
And, and—
She is going home.
Tian Nongxi thought and thought, but still couldn't come up with a reason.
A reason that all problems can be solved if you say it out loud.
Wen Tingluan helped her say, "You hate me."
"How is that possible?" Tian Nongxi's eyes widened as big as jade plates, and his mouth spoke faster than his brain.
"Then you please me."
"......?" Tian Nongxi moved a few steps forward.
"Neither disgusted nor pleased." Wen Tingluan took a few steps closer to the two of them and asked curiously, "What is that?"
"Can't it be nothing?"
Or you could ask who I am.
Tian Nongxi closed his eyes, the words of confession coming to his throat.
"My heart is not made of stone; it cannot be bent. I don't care about your status. I just want you to know my feelings."
Seen through.
She opened her eyes and met Wen Tingluan's serious gaze.
Those ink-stained eyes always smiled whenever they looked at her.
Tian Nongxi lowered her eyes and bit her lip, forgetting what she was supposed to say.
"I'm sorry, I was too sentimental. I won't mention this matter again." Wen Tingluan took a few steps back.
Tian Nongxi looked over and felt a bit more embarrassed than ever before.
His pair of auspicious phoenix eyes were forced open into almond-shaped eyes by their owner, which made his cold features softer. The unignorable dignity on his body was well hidden, replaced by a pitiful feeling that made people feel like a sinner.
Which prince keeps saying sorry? I feel like if anyone hears him, he'll be immediately hung on the city wall for public display.
Tian Nongxi was angry but dared not speak. He glanced at the roof nervously and said resignedly, "I know."
"What?"
She glared at him, "Is it okay if you know everything?"
Wen Tingluan knew when to stop and followed Tian Nongxi out of the door.
"No, what are you going to do?"
With an angry tone, she looked into his eyes wholeheartedly.
He felt like his heart had been tickled by fox fur, and he couldn't help but ask the question he had wanted to ask for a long time.
"Why don't you wear the jade pendant?"
"I don't want to wear it!" Tian Nongxi, who actually couldn't let it go, lied with his eyes open and laughed through gritted teeth, "If you weren't pretty, I really would have thrown you out."
The air around him suddenly became thin, and the person in front of him had red eyes and looked like he was about to cry.
"My second uncle wanted to snatch it, so I put it away." Tian Nongxi explained inexplicably.
"Oh, right." She suddenly remembered what happened this morning. As she walked towards the stone table, she checked to see if anyone beside her was following. Only after she sat down on the stone bench did she continue with relief, "My second uncle is in jail."
Tian Nongxi recounted to Wen Tingluan what had happened during this period, and finally emphasized Tian Nongle's "prison break" behavior.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince must take care of people like this." She said angrily.
"Yeah." It was the first time that Wen Tingluan heard such a nice sound of "Your Highness the Crown Prince" and smiled with his eyes curved.
"He came back quietly and said that if you came back, he would light fireworks at midnight." Tian Nongxi was dazzled by the smile, his heart stopped for a moment, and he had to be brief.
Wen Tingluan frowned and asked if Tian Nong Le forced her to tell him these things.
"No, he didn't let me tell you." Tian Nongxi continued as a matter of course, "But I didn't agree not to tell you."
At one o'clock in the morning, the night watchman shouted "All is well" for the second time after passing through the alley. Tian Nongxi got up with sleepy eyes.
The moonlight was as dark as ink. A man stood under a pomegranate tree. The night breeze blew on him, tactfully sending his fragrance to Tian Nongxi.
She slowly moved in front of the man.
The man's pleasant voice was like a trickle of water under the moonlight, "I'll be with you."
Who needs it!
Tian Nongxi murmured, then hesitated as she raised the fireworks in her hand. "Are you really going?" Could it be the Hongmen Banquet? Her unspoken worry was revealed by her furrowed brows.
The night wind blew her hair apart. Among her jet-black hair, a pair of starry eyes looked at Wen Tingluan without blinking.
"He can't hurt me." Wen Tingluan lowered his raised hand and consciously softened his tone, "Don't worry."
He took the fireworks from Tian Nongxi's hand and aimed them at the southwest corner of the sky. With a "whoosh", the night was briefly lit up.
The boring colors were imprinted in the eyes of the people around her, and her pupils were like glittering gems.
Gem turned her head and waved her hand gently in front of his eyes, "I'm going to bed."
Bao Shi added, "You should also go to bed early."
The back of Baozhi is in a hurry, which is very cute.
Wen Tingluan watched her timid steps, saw the dust raised when she slammed the door shut, heard the creaking of the wooden bed when she threw herself onto it, and heard the chirping of insects as she fell into a deep sleep.
A corner of the dart was revealed from his sleeve, and the cold light trembled like a cicada, and he flew out of the yard tactfully.
Wen Tingluan withdrew his gaze, and finally, like a stream of melting snow, he raised his feet and walked towards the gate.
He closed the door gently and looked at the dull tree not far away.
"Come out."
