Tuantuan pretended to be asleep, and soon he actually fell asleep.
Ye Xi and Yuan Yuan were arm in arm, and the older brother raised his paw and touched his younger brother's forehead.
"Brother, Daddy wants to be with Daddy. From now on, we are a family..."
Yuanyuan nodded seriously: "Oh, oh."
Ye An was eating the meatballs cooked by Mu Ci when the conversation between the two meatballs floated into his ears. Ye An choked and started coughing. Is Ye Xiaoxi too precocious?
Mu Ci quickly handed over the cup of honey tea he had prepared.
Ye An felt much better after drinking the honey tea. This honey tea had been placed on the corner of the table, and he had never seen the other party use it. It turned out that it had this purpose...
There is no need to take the nonsense between the kids to heart, but why doesn't he dare to look directly at Brother Ye?
Mu Ci asked with concern: "Xiao An, are you feeling better?"
Ye An lowered his head and held down his heart that was about to jump out of his chest: "It's okay. Thank you, Brother Ye."
They had almost finished eating, and Ye An went to hug Tuan Tuan, intending to take the buns home, but Mu Ci got there first and hugged Tuan Tuan in his arms.
"When they come, I will hold them, or I will do it."
Mu Ci didn't even mention that Ye An was weak and it would be tiring for him to hold the baby.
Ye An understood his good intentions and did not refuse. Mu Ci held Tuan Tuan in his arms. Tuan Tuan slept comfortably and rolled over. It was inconvenient to hold Yuan Yuan, so Mu Ci squatted down and let Yuan Yuan ride on his neck, holding her firmly with his other hand.
Yuanyuan was the only one to receive this honor, and her little face turned red. Only when they were very young did their father carry them on his back like this.
Ye An exclaimed: "Brother Ye, you really dote on them too much."
This person's gentleness was as calm as water and as hot as fire. It was a gentleness that made him feel very comfortable.
Ye An still went to hold Ye Xi's hand, and they went back together if they came together.
Suddenly I felt that this was not bad.
They went back to Ye An's house first, and Mu Ci put Tuan Tuan down and settled him down. Ye An originally wanted to keep him for a cup of hot tea, but a guest arrived outside.
Seeing that he had something to do, Mu Ci said goodbye to Ye Xi and left in a hurry.
Ye An watched him leave the yard, then turned around to greet the visiting guests.
This is a neighbor auntie in her forties, her last name is Qin. When Ye An moved to Yunzhou with his two buns, Auntie Qin took good care of him. Because she felt sorry for him for having to take care of two children at such a young age, she often came to help him take care of the children when Tuantuan and Yuanyuan were still young. Ye An still remembers it.
Aunt Qin was very familiar with Ye An. As soon as she entered the door, she found a chair and sat down. When Mu Ci took Ye Xi away, she also looked carefully at the new neighbor.
Ye An poured a bowl of warm tea for Aunt Qin. Aunt Qin took the initiative to pick up Yuanyuan and teased her, then asked about Tuantuan and also asked about Young Master Ye who had just left. In fact, Ye An was not very familiar with Ye Huaixuan, but he was obviously much better than the others. He briefly explained the situation of Young Master Ye's family, and Aunt Qin was hesitant to speak.
Ye An said: "Aunt Qin, is there something wrong?"
Aunt Qin's eyes were filled with joy as she whispered, "Xiao An, you figured it out? Then I won't hide it from you. I came here to actually matchmake for you. Someone likes you and asked me to ask you what you think."
Women of this age all like to act as matchmakers, and Aunt Qin is no exception. Ye An's "wife died early", and she has been eyeing him for a long time. This trip was specifically to act as a matchmaker for Ye An.
Matchmaking? ?
Ye An thought about the question she had asked Brother Ye before, and suddenly felt happy. She put her hands on her knees and rubbed them nervously: "Aunt Qin, who is that person you are talking about?"
Aunt Qin saw that Ye An did not directly refuse. Based on her many years of experience, she felt that since Ye An was not opposed to getting married, it was very likely to succeed. Aunt Qin smiled and said, "Who else could it be? It's Niu Er who lives next door. You are very familiar with him, so there is no need for me to introduce him to you. Xiao An, what do you think?"
...Brother Niu? ?
Ye An was secretly happy at first, but now it was as if a bucket of ice water had fallen from the sky, making his heart feel cold.
Ye An forced a smile: "Auntie, are you kidding? Brother Niu and I are good friends, how is that possible?"
Aunt Qin said hurriedly, "How can it be impossible? Auntie, do you look like someone who would joke about this? Niu Er came to my house today and told me in person. He is interested in you and asked me to help him."
Ye An recalled the last time he met Niu Er. Niu Er had a stern face and the corners of his mouth twitched. He thought, is this what he likes? He didn't notice it at all.
Aunt Qin was entrusted by Niu Er, so she naturally had to speak well of him. She put Yuanyuan on the ground, gave him a fruit, and asked him to peel it for fun. She took Ye An's hand and said, "It's not convenient for you to take care of two children by yourself, and there is no one to take care of them at home. It just so happens that Niu Er hasn't got married yet. He has fields and houses. Although he doesn't look very good, he's a man who can work. In terms of conditions, he is considered good in our town. Several families have taken a fancy to him before, but he was not willing to accept them. He only liked you. He told me that he was willing to take Tuantuan and Yuanyuan as his own children. You two are both men, and you can't have children. Won't the property of the two families belong to Tuantuan and Yuanyuan in the future? He can even give up his offspring for you. You can't find such a person with a lantern. It's not bad if you two really get married."
Ye An: “…”
Ye An was very confused. Aunt Qin seemed to mean that if someone liked him, he had to accept it?
Isn't marriage something that should be mutually agreed upon? Even if he brought two buns, they were his treasures. Aunt Qin's words revealed that he was marrying above his station, and Ye An frowned when he heard that.
What's more, although he and Niu Er have a good relationship, they are not at the point of being in love.
Ye An said calmly, "Auntie, forget it. I don't have that kind of intention towards Brother Niu. Please help me reject him."
Aunt Qin was anxious: "Xiao An, if you are dissatisfied with something, you can tell me. Niu Er said that as long as you ask, he can do it..."
Afraid that Ye An would still refuse, Aunt Qin patted Yuanyuan's hands and coaxed her, "Yuanyuan likes Uncle Niu very much, how about Uncle Niu being your father?"
Yuanyuan held the fruit in her arms, blinking her eyes without saying anything.
Ye An carried Yuanyuan to the yard, turned back and said with a smile: "Aunt, I have no complaints about Brother Niu, but I really don't want to get married with him. I don't like him."
Aunt Qin looked at him as if he were a monster: "Xiao An, who doesn't get married according to the parents' orders and the matchmaker's words? Your wife has been dead for several years, and you still have two children. Don't you want to get married?"
Ye An smiled and said, "I can make my own decisions, so you don't need to worry about me. Let me be honest with you. If I like someone, I will go find him even if there are thousands of mountains and rivers between us. But if he doesn't like me, I will never force him to do anything. Only when both of us love each other can we get married."
Aunt Qin's persuasion was useless, so she said awkwardly, "Since you said so, I will reject Niu Er as you wish... But with your temper, if you can't find a suitable person in the future, what will you do if you remain single for the rest of your life?"
Ye An said firmly: "That's better than getting married without knowing what's going on and having a hard life. Besides, I'm living well on my own and I don't have to rely on anyone to survive, so why should I give in?"
Aunt Qin couldn't bear to hear such remarks. She was so shocked that she was speechless. Ye An still remembered her kindness in helping him in the past, so he took out a few freshly cooked chicken legs and put them in a bowl for her, wanting her to know that as long as they didn't act as matchmakers, they could still be good neighbors.
Aunt Qin took Ye An's things, didn't say anything more, and left in despair.
Ye An saw her out, but saw a man standing outside the door. Ye An was surprised and asked, "Brother Ye, you didn't leave?"
Mu Ci was about to leave, but soon the secret guard guarding Ye An's yard came to report that a daring woman wanted to propose marriage to the emperor, and the target was Niu Er. Mu Ci immediately turned back, fearing that Ye An would follow someone else in the blink of an eye.
Mu Ci said anxiously without waiting for Aunt Qin to walk away: "Xiao An, don't answer!"
Ye An burst out laughing. For some reason, he felt happy to see that the seemingly cold and aloof Brother Ye was anxious.
Ye An's mind moved, and he deliberately said: "Actually, Niu Er is a pretty good person."
Mu Ci was really anxious: "Xiao An, you can't be with him!"
Ye An said: "...Why?"
Mu Ci originally planned to tell the truth within the next two days, but plans cannot keep up with changes. Ye An has lost his memory and no longer remembers that he and Mu Ci are married. Then someone else comes to pursue Ye An. What if Ye An falls in love with someone else? Will he still be willing to take the antidote?
Just like when Ye Xiaoan was with him, she didn't want to think about the deceased Imperial Noble Consort Su anymore.
Over the years, he has been suppressing himself and never thinking about it. He was afraid that during the years when he lost his memory, the other party had found a new home. Ye An had clearly told him that after losing his memory he would be a different person and the past relationship would be over. Ye An had forgotten Su Qinghuai before, and now he has forgotten him too. Has he become Ye An's past just like Su Qinghuai?
Yuanyuan was sitting in the yard, rolling the fruit around. When she saw Mu Ci coming into the yard, she reached out her hand: "Yuanyuan wants Uncle Ye!"
The little boy's words were incoherent, but since they were father and son, he spoke for Mu Ci intentionally or unintentionally. Mu Ci was moved. He squatted down and rubbed his round head, and slowly came up with an idea.
Even if he becomes my ex-lover, even if there is someone new pursuing me, what does it matter? He can also pursue Xiao An again!
Mu Ci's eyes darkened and he walked to Ye An. Ye An suddenly felt his aura was terrifying and had to take a step back. However, Mu Ci put his arms around his waist, held him in his arms and kissed his soft lips.
Brother Ye? ! Ye An was horrified.
His whole body was suddenly enveloped by a warm breath, and Ye An subconsciously tried to break free, but the faint soapberry fragrance and hot lips of the other person made his legs and feet weak, and he actually... felt an indescribable attachment and familiarity.
By the way, he had dreamed about him before. At that time, just like now, he had lost all his strength and turned into a pool of bubbling water.
Ye An was kissed until he was breathless. He moaned twice and patted Mu Ci's shoulders weakly. Mu Ci let go of his lips and kissed the corners of his mouth and forehead instead.
Mu Ci said in a hoarse voice: "Xiao An, don't get along with other people."
Ye An was gently held in his arms, his cheeks were like gorgeous red clouds, his eyes were bright and watery, his forehead was covered with sweat, and his heart was beating like a drum.
Brother Ye treats him like this, so he must have that kind of feelings towards him, right?
What about him?
He said that if he liked someone, he would go find them even if there were thousands of mountains and rivers between them. He would never force anyone to do anything. Only when both parties were in love would they... only when they...
In fact, when he said this, the image of Brother Ye flashed vaguely in his mind.
And just now, he could have refused, but when Brother Ye kissed and hugged him, he was completely defeated.
Actually, he also likes Brother Ye...
The sudden thought of this in his mind was as sweet as drinking honey water. Ye An couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips. It seemed that the answer had always been there, but he just realized it.
Mu Ci still hugged him and said with determination: "Xiao An, I have something to tell you."
Ye An bit his lip nervously, he could guess what the other party was going to say, it was most likely a confession. Would he, would he accept it or not?
But he and Brother Ye had only known each other for two days. Was it too fast? He had just righteously rejected Aunt Qin who wanted to match him up...
As the one being confessed to, you should be reserved and not agree so quickly. You should let Brother Ye pursue her more.
There was a little man in Ye An's heart who laughed triumphantly, but on the surface he tried to remain calm and said, "Brother Ye, this is too sudden. Can you let me prepare a little and give me some time?"
Mu Ci softened his tone unconsciously: "How long do you want me to wait?"
Ye An said randomly: "Next...next month?"
Mu Ci: “…”
It's only the beginning of the month, and there are only 20 or 30 days left to next month. It's not quite appropriate. Why not take the initiative to shorten it?
Ye An changed his tone and said, "How about three days?"
"...Okay." Mu Ci smiled as he remembered something: "Then I'll come to see you every day."
Ye An blushed and nodded slightly.
Mu Ci turned around and was about to leave. Ye An looked at his back. This liking came so suddenly, and once he discovered it, it surged out like a tide. He had the illusion that he had liked this person for a long time, so long that his eyes couldn't help but get hot whenever he thought of this person.
Ye An suddenly rushed over and hugged Mu Ci.
"Brother Ye, I have changed my mind. Tell me tomorrow..."
"Xiao An?!"
Mu Ci turned around and looked at him in surprise.
It didn't take him a moment to understand, and their lips touched once again, and Ye An was as obedient as before.
Yuanyuan slipped out of the yard when the adults were not paying attention. He had sprained his foot a few days ago and could not walk fast. He was so anxious that he burst into tears after taking a few steps. As soon as the chubby little body stretched out, a secret guard quietly followed behind, responsible for the little prince's safety.
Yuanyuan wanted to find her brother, but she didn't know where his home was, so she cried, "Brother, brother!"
The secret guard had some experience in taking care of the prince. After thinking about it, he placed a few branches on the ground. Yuanyuan looked at the branches curiously, and suddenly stopped crying. She stuck out her butt and followed him. They walked to where Ye Xi was staying temporarily.
"Yuanyuan, what's wrong?"
Ye Xi received the notification and rushed out to hug her brother.
Yuanyuan howled: "Uncle Niu wants to be my father!"
Ye Xi: “…”
The Emperor doesn't want the Empress anymore! When His Royal Highness the Crown Prince heard this, he was so angry that he picked up the bun and ran out.
