Mu Wanyao met Liu Wenzhi in the dormitory.
Liu Wenji still looked distracted. Mu Wanyao had made him wait for so long, but he didn't seem to care. Under normal circumstances, with his arrogance, he would have definitely revealed some signs.
He is just too arrogant, not as gentle and smooth as Yan Shang, that's why Mu Wanyao doesn't like him.
But he no longer had the arrogance. He sat in a daze beside the candle in the dormitory, which made Mu Wanyao feel a little uncomfortable.
After all, he is a young genius who has been praised since childhood. He has not experienced too much like her, nor has he followed his parents to many places and seen many different people like Yan Shang when he was young... It is already very uncomfortable for a young genius to arrive in Chang'an and find that he is just like everyone else. Now he has even lost the lover who has constantly encouraged and supported him.
How painful.
The maids filed in, and someone announced. Liu Wenji looked up when he heard the voice and saw Princess Danyang coming in. He habitually looked behind Mu Wanyao, then froze for a moment, his eyes darkened, and he looked away. Mu Wanyao and he both knew who he couldn't help but look at.
After Mu Wanyao came in, she asked Liu Wenji to sit down after greeting him. Yan Shang had helped her to appease this man before. Liu Wenji's mood was much more stable. Mu Wanyao didn't say too much useless things, but only talked about Chunhua's expectations: "... She hopes that I can take care of you a little, so that you can realize your ideal, become an official, marry a beautiful wife, and live a peaceful and harmonious life."
Liu Wenzhi didn't say anything.
Mu Wanyao stared into the void, indifferent: "So what kind of official do you want to be? Do you want to continue taking the imperial examinations, or do you want me to help you find an official position right now? I can help you find one right now, but it won't be a position with real power. But it's better than you competing with so many people for a place in the imperial examination."
Unexpectedly, after Yan Shang rejected her again and again, Liu Wenji also rejected her: "... Thank you, Your Highness. But this is what Chunhua exchanged for her life's happiness, and I don't want to use it. I should continue to take the exam... I don't know."
He was stunned for a while, and said, "Maybe I don't want to stay in Chang'an anymore. I want to go back to Lingnan."
He said dryly, "Because of the imperial examination, I haven't seen my family for almost two years. Staying in Chang'an... my heart is broken and I can't express my sorrow. I may not be able to stay here any longer."
Mu Wanyao thought to himself: My ability to withstand stress is too weak.
It is really difficult to give an official position now. Yan Shang disdains it, and Liu Wenji disdains it too. She can't exercise any of the rights of a princess, and the official position is really worthless.
Mu Wanyao didn't like to immerse herself in pain, she would distract herself in a messy way so that she wouldn't think too much. Looking at Liu Wenji's expression again, Mu Wanyao said: "Chunhua also asked me to give you money."
Liu Wenji: “Not necessary for now.”
Mu Wanyao advised, "Don't think too much. What in life will not pass away? Just forget it. Just make your memory a little worse."
Liu Wenzhi looked at the princess in a daze.
The princess had bright eyes and fair skin, and was bright and beautiful. It seemed that Chunhua's departure had no effect on her at all. Liu Wenji was indignant about this, but... he was no longer the same person as before.
He lowered his eyes, lost in thought: "It won't pass. I can't forget it either."
Mu Wanyao insisted: "It will pass. I will forget it."
Liu Wenji: "At least now, I don't want to forget her. I can't get over it, I can't forget her. I hope I can remember it."
Mu Wan shook his head in shock.
Then she turned her face away in embarrassment and stopped looking at him.
She said coldly, "Whatever you want."
After that, he got up and left the bedroom, no longer paying attention to Liu Wenji. But before leaving, after thinking about it, Mu Wanyao sent two servants to take care of Liu Wenji to prevent him from doing anything stupid in the near future.
-----
Next, Mu Wanyao’s latest trouble comes from Yan Shang.
Ever since Yan Shang confessed his feelings to her, his attitude changed quickly and he took the initiative to befriend her. After they met in prison, Yan Shang seemed to have let go of something towards her... Now, he often stayed at her place, looking for opportunities to be alone with her.
For example, I would study at her place at night.
After all, they just live in the same alley, just a few doors away from each other. Mu Wanyao couldn't come up with an excuse like "Don't stay here too late, it's inconvenient to go back."
Then, when the two of them occasionally looked at each other, he would smile at her.
Sometimes Mu Wanyao deliberately avoided looking at him, but she could still feel Yan Shang watching her quietly from behind.
He seemed to have completely entered into an unusual mode of relationship between the two of them. This new mode made him feel that he could be less polite and indulge himself a little.
Mu Wanyao was worried that Yan Shang had entered this mode, but she hadn't.
But she didn't want to point it out.
Maybe if she pointed it out to him, he would realize that she had no intention of getting married to him, and he would ignore her.
Mu Wanyao reflected on herself and felt that she wanted to enjoy Yan Shang's meticulous care, but was afraid of the future and did not dare to go any further with him...so now it was weird for them to get along with each other.
It was Yan Shang who took the initiative to come over and hold her hand; and Mu Wanyao, who was originally much more open-minded than him, became exceptionally dignified and serious, not daring to even glance at him, for fear that he would misunderstand her.
-----
That night, Yan Shang asked to stay with Mu Wanyao to study.
Mu Wanyao was speechless and couldn't find an excuse to refuse. Because he was just studying seriously... He would occasionally take the initiative to talk to her and hold her hand. She couldn't say that he was being excessive and drive him away just because of this.
With Mu Wanyao's tacit consent, at night in her bedroom, she leaned on the beauty couch and flipped through a music score, while Yan Shang sat upright at the desk, reading his books.
Sometimes he would ask her for advice when he had something he didn't understand. Mu Wanyao would tell him what she knew, and if she didn't know, she would wait for him to ask his teacher.
For a while, there was peace between the two of them.
After a while, Mu Wanyao closed the music score and leaned against the couch to sleep with her eyes closed. She memorized the music score in her mind, automatically placing each tune on the instrument in her mind, listening to what kind of music it should sound like... For someone like Mu Wanyao who has outstanding musical talent since childhood, memorizing music scores is not a difficult task.
Then, while reciting with his eyes closed, Mu Wan suddenly felt the couch sink a little and someone sat down on it.
The extremely pure and pure agarwood fragrance on that person wafted down to her, and he covered her with a mattress... Mu Wan shook her head and realized it was Yan Shang.
Mu Wan shook her head with her eyes closed: "..."
So sad.
He came to provoke her again.
Mu Wanyao felt Yan Shang staring at her, so she had to calmly continue pretending to sleep. In a daze, she heard Yan Shang muttering to himself: "I always feel like you're avoiding me recently."
Mu Wan shook: "..."
She was so scared that she froze completely, trying to calm herself down, not daring to even tremble her eyelashes. Yan Shang's sharpness frightened her.
She listened to Yan Shang talking to himself again: "But I'm probably just overthinking it. I don't really understand the relationship between men and women... Maybe you're just shy, not avoiding me."
Mu Wanyao agreed in her heart and thought it would be good if he continued to think this way.
Then, I heard Yan Shang whisper shyly: "But you always keep your distance from me...Yaoyao, I want to be closer to you."
Mu Wanyao: ...Who told you to call me "Yaoyao" behind my back? Don't call me that.
What's so close about this? Isn't it close to study together all day? How can we get closer? This person is about to take an exam, can he stop thinking about her all the time?
Mu Wan's mind was in a mess, and she was cursing Yan Shang in her heart when she suddenly felt an itch on her knuckles. The next moment, her hand was held by someone. He gently placed his fingers on hers, and as if he was very curious, he hooked the tip of her little finger.
Mu Wanyao felt that her heartbeat was about to become abnormal because of him.
She was entangled, and then thought righteously: Forget it, why bother hiding. If Yan Shang wants to, then let him do it.
If he wanted to do something improper to her, she would just go along with it...it would all happen naturally and she wouldn't need to worry about it anymore.
-----
However, Yan Shang is not that kind of person.
Mu Wanyao had already convinced herself to obey Yan Shang. In fact, Yan Shang sat beside Mu Wanyao's couch and just held her hand, but did not do anything more.
As Mu Wanyao waited quietly, Yan Shang lowered his head, held one of her hands, and looked at it over and over again. He lowered his head and carefully touched her finger by finger. The soft and gentle touch gave Mu Wanyao goose bumps, and Yan Shang himself didn't seem to think he was being excessive.
He just played with her hand, held her hand, and smiled.
It seemed that he had never really looked at her hands.
Mu Wanyao's hands were so beautiful, each finger was slender and white, with even joints. The pale blue veins under the white porcelain skin, the thin bones on the back of the hand when she occasionally raised a finger...and the skin was so delicate and soft. Yan Shang held her hand and compared it with his own hand. The more he looked at it, the more he liked it.
He suddenly raised his eyes and looked at the sleeping beauty.
His eyes roamed over her face for a long time, and then he slowly leaned down.
Mu Wanyao felt his breath approaching and thought he was going to kiss her secretly. She felt shy and horrified, but also had a sense of joy that "as expected" and "I caught you". However, Yan Shang leaned over and gently brushed a strand of hair off her cheek and behind her ear, and then he sat back with satisfaction.
Mu Wan shook: "..."
He held her hand again with satisfaction, and Mu Wan shook her head, wondering what was so good about a hand. She was lying here motionless, and she had convinced herself to obey him... Why didn't he do it?
Mu Wanyao couldn't stand it anymore.
Flirting without success is a sin. Her heart was tormented by him over and over again, but he was not anxious. She really couldn't stand his neither-good nor bad flirting.
Yan Shang was still happily playing with Mu Wan's shaking hand. He didn't dare to do this to her when she was awake, because she was too charming and too bad, and he was often confused and turned to other directions by her, so that he didn't even have a good look at her hand.
According to Yan Shang's little understanding of love, he believes that lovers should always understand each other.
He just wanted to take a good look at her hands first...
But the more Yan Shang looked at this pair of beautiful hands from the princess, which had been well-taught since childhood, the more he liked them. He couldn't help but lean over, put his lips on the back of her hands, and kissed them gently. After just this kiss, Yan Shang felt a little uncomfortable, thinking that he had gone too far and shouldn't be so reckless.
When he was reflecting on his guilt, he raised his eyes to see if Mu Wanyao was still asleep... This look made him stiffen.
Yin Muwan opened her dark and clear eyes and watched him holding her hand, playing with it, pinching it, and even kissing her hand uncontrollably.
Mu Wanyao looked at him with a smile.
Seeing Yan Shangyu's face flushed, he put down her hand and turned his face away as if indifferent. Yan Shangjing turned his head again and saw Mu Wan sitting up and leaning against the pillow, still looking at him with a smile.
Mu Wan shook his head and teased: "What were you doing just now?"
Yan Shang paused and said slowly: "I didn't do anything."
Muwan raised his eyebrows.
Yan Shang: "Isn't it normal for lovers to be like this?"
Mu Wan shook her head stiffly, and now it was her turn to feel uncomfortable with his "lover". Fortunately, Yan Shang felt that he had been abrupt and not very nice, and did not notice Mu Wan's momentary tangled expression.
Yan Shang sorted out his mood, perhaps with a little intention to please her. He looked at her and smiled slightly: "I can't help myself... Because Your Highness has returned from the Summer Resort this time, and we haven't seen each other for nearly a month, I am very happy."
Mu Wanyao was staring at him without blinking. The handsome young man sat beside her couch, his sleeves intertwined with hers, and he had just kissed her hand. His eyes were like a deep lake, gentle and tolerant, full of love.
Suddenly, her cheeks turned red and she felt the room was a little hot.
She was unruly and unreasonable, raised her chin and retorted: "You are not allowed to be happy!"
Yan Shang raised his lips and said good-temperedly, "Okay."
He said softly, "...But this is not actually under my control. To be honest, Your Highness, I never thought I would be like this. I always feel that Your Highness is very far away from me and is unwilling to get close to me. But I really want to get close to Your Highness. I like to get to know Your Highness little by little, to know Your Highness' preferences and your highness's temperament. I want to become one with Your Highness."
Mu Wanyao: "...melted into one?"
Yan Shang was startled, then blushed and quickly explained: "That's not what I meant, I meant..."
Before he could explain, Mu Wanyao sighed and said, "I understand."
Yan Shang looked at her and saw Mu Wanyao kneeling down from the couch, stretching out her arms, hugging his neck, and leaning her delicate body against his chest. He was stiff and happy, not daring to move, when he heard Mu Wanyao leaning against his face and sighing.
Mu Wan shook her beautiful eyes and stared at him: "You are too naive and stupid in this regard. I am embarrassed to do anything."
Yan Shang: “…”
He lowered his eyes and said, "Your Highness, there are times when you feel embarrassed."
Mu Wan shook: "..."
That's what I said.
How casual she was in his eyes.
Mu Wan shook her head and said, "Anyway, I have more experience than you. Why don't you call me sister? Sister knows what you are thinking and can help you."
Yan Shang covered his eyes with his eyelashes, and did not raise his eyes to look at her. She knelt on the couch and leaned in his arms, the fragrant breeze blew over her. He did not dare to touch her, but he was not stupid enough to listen to her completely.
Yan Shang whispered: "You are only half a year older than me, why do you want me to call you 'sister'? You are kidding me again."
Mu Wan shook her head and acted like a spoiled child: "But I always call you 'Second Brother Yan'! What's wrong with you calling me that?"
Yan Shang was helpless: "Our generations are so confusing... um."
His lips were sealed.
She was kissing him.
The playful and teasing look in her raised eyes met his lowered eyes like a clear lake. One glance after another, flowing gently.
Yan Shang hugged her back and wanted to respond to her, but she turned her face away and refused to kiss him again. Yan Shang pursed his lips, a little unhappy that she was always so selfish and never cared about him... Mu Wanyao was quite happy in her heart: "I kiss you, are you happy?"
Yan Shang thought, what is there to be happy about? He always gives up halfway. He has no...
But Yan Shang smiled slightly and didn't say anything bad.
Mu Wanyao was very proud, thinking that she had made him crazy, and he must have liked this kiss very much. Although Yan Shang did not understand love, he was very good at perceiving people's moods. He could tell what Mu Wanyao was thinking at a glance, and after a moment of silence, he felt that she was very cute, so he could not bear to say anything.
Mu Wan shook her fingers and gently rubbed his neck, whispering against his neck: "Second Brother Yan, I know you like me, but please don't look for me all the time."
His words were still stiff and his heart was slightly chilled.
After a while, he said, "You don't like it?"
Mu Wanyao couldn't bear to see him get hurt, so she quickly explained, "What I mean is that you always come to me and tease me like this, which makes it easy for me to lose control."
Yan Shang blushed: "...Nonsense. I didn't flirt with you."
Mu Wan smiled and said, "But you standing in front of me is just teasing. When I see you, I want to be next to you like this, let you hug me, kiss me, and want to do something more extreme with you... well."
Yan Shang glared at her but said nothing.
Mu Wanyao was afraid of his acquiescence. The more he acquiesced, the more he showed that he tolerated her nonsense. And if she continued to make trouble, it would never end... Mu Wanyao quickly said what she really meant: "I understand your feelings. But you are busy preparing for the exam now, and it is not good for your mind to be distracted like this, do you know?"
Mu Wan shook his head seriously: "You keep thinking about me and can't concentrate on your studies. I feel that since I came back, you have become less focused and different from before. Yan Shang, it has been too difficult for you to come to Chang'an from Lingnan. Love and affection should never restrict you, control you, and prevent you from moving forward.
"So don't look for me all the time. Just concentrate on your studies. After the exam is over... isn't there still a lot of time left?"
Yan Shang looked at her, his eyes flickering, as if judging the truth in her words.
He said slowly: "Is there really a long time to come?"
Mu Wanyao made herself appear particularly sincere: "Of course. Second Brother Yan, do you want to depend on me? Shouldn't you become an official, pay me back, and really buy the mansion next door to make it your own private property? Do you want me to support you? Why don't you hurry up and become an official and make money to pay me back?"
Yan Shang smiled.
He nodded, accepting her suggestion.
He said, "Okay, then I won't contact you for the next two months."
Mu Wan breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that if he didn't look for her, he wouldn't always make her feel uncomfortable.
Yan Shang lowered his eyes and said after a while: "Then I will leave now?"
Mu Wan was stunned for a moment. Hearing him say that, she felt reluctant again. Then she realized that with Yan Shang's strong and terrifying self-control ability, she might really not see him in the next two months.
Mu Wanyao reluctantly said, "Forget it tonight, stay a little longer. Don't look for me tomorrow."
Yan Shang then smiled and looked up at her, the light in his eyes flowing like stars.
He said, "Okay."
Finally, he put his arms around her back and stayed with her for a while.
