Chapter 197 New Year's Gift
Yan Xing held the wine glass, his deep gaze resting on his face. "It's New Year's Eve now, sir, why don't you also say a blessing to me? Wish me... that I can get what I want."
These words were suggestive, but both of them knew it.
Lu Chenyang's smile faded. He said, "Even Your Majesty may not be able to get what he wishes for in this world. Such a blessing is a bit perfunctory." He looked at him and said softly, "I wish the prince good health and safety, and that he will find a beautiful woman soon and have many children."
After hearing this, everyone's expression changed.
Yan Xing stared at Lu Chenyang intently, his eyes even a little fierce, but his pale face still revealed his fragility at the moment.
Yan Xing said softly: "Today... is New Year's Eve."
Lu Chenyang instantly thought of the surprises Yan Xing had prepared for him in previous years, and his heart softened.
It’s the New Year, why do we say these things?
Lu Chenyang's expression suddenly softened, and he smiled: "Come on, everyone, have a drink, and I wish you all a happy new year."
Everyone immediately raised their glasses and started talking and laughing, thus covering up the embarrassment that had just occurred.
The banquet was not over yet, but it was already late at night.
Yan Xing stood up and glanced at Lu Chenyang. Lu Chenyang immediately understood and followed him out.
After going out, Lu Chenyang shivered in the cold wind and woke up again.
He was a little annoyed. Had he become accustomed to this once-a-year thing? How could he just take a look and follow her out?
Every New Year’s Eve, Yan Xing would prepare a surprise for Lu Chenyang. He was used to it.
The two of them walked quietly to the side of the corridor to avoid being seen.
Yan Xing's eyes softened, with a smile on his lips.
Lu Chenyang felt strangely embarrassed, as if he was taking advantage of someone. He had said such things, which had hurt people, and yet he had the audacity to ask for a surprise.
Yan Xing said softly: "Close your eyes."
Lu Chenyang blinked, then closed his eyes obediently, looking very trusting.
The corners of his mouth curled up again, and he was very pleased with the trust in him.
He held his hand, and Lu Chenyang felt something placed in his palm, and he subconsciously opened his eyes.
It is a little rabbit that is carved so vividly that he is a rabbit.
Lu Chenyang was filled with surprise and admiration, "Did you carve it?"
He hummed softly, "I carved it when I was thinking of you. This one is the most beautiful." He stretched out his finger and said softly, "It took me a long time to carve it. It was a bit difficult."
His fingers were covered with wounds, and Lu Chenyang felt distressed.
"Does it still hurt?" Lu Chenyang asked anxiously, "I'll ask Zhao Xi for some medicine later."
He unconsciously held his hand, not realizing how intimate the gesture was.
He immediately grabbed him back.
Lu Chenyang was stunned for a moment and subconsciously wanted to pull it out.
Yan Xing said softly, "I'm not in pain, not as much as when you avoid me."
Lu Chenyang felt a sour and bitter feeling in his heart, an indescribable feeling.
"I did it on purpose." Yan Xing suddenly said, "I showed you the wound on my hand on purpose. I wanted you to feel sorry for me and feel guilty towards me. Only then would you agree to my request."
He spoke frankly about his little thoughts, and Lu Chenyang found it funny and distressed.
However, Lu Chenyang confirmed one thing, Yan Xing was drunk.
That's right. Today, Yan Xing just sat there drinking from the start of the banquet, barely eating a single bite of food. Drinking on an empty stomach is the easiest way to get drunk. He drank two large jars of wine by himself.
If it were anyone else, Lu Chenyang would definitely have no patience for a drunk person. But the other person was Yan Xing, and he had made such a beautiful little rabbit for him, so he was willing to tolerate him.
So Lu Chenyang asked softly: "What do you want?"
Yan Xing looked at him seriously and said, "Can you please stop hiding from me?"
There was even some grievance in his tone.
Lu Chenyang began to doubt his own judgment. Was he really drunk? This logic was very clear.
But when had Yan Xing ever shown weakness like this? And felt wronged.
Lu Chenyang felt that Yan Xing was quite cute now, which made him unable to refuse, and he wanted to comply with all his wishes.
He never thought of himself as a lustful person before.
Lu Chenyang opened his mouth and his eyes fell on the cute little rabbit. He couldn't say no and even felt guilty about denying it.
Lu Chenyang nodded slightly.
Yan Xing laughed immediately. He always kept his promises and would not go back on his word since he had promised.
Yan Xing tilted his head, his eyes were clear and bright, and his shadow was all in those beautiful eyes.
Yan Xing said softly: "Lu Chenyang, you don't have to like me, as long as I like you."
Lu Chenyang's heart tightened, and he felt a sour and bitter feeling.
He clasped his five fingers together and held the cute little rabbit in his palm.
"You are drunk." Lu Chenyang said.
Yan Xing thought seriously for a moment, rubbed his forehead, and said honestly, "I did drink, but I'm not drunk. You promised me that you wouldn't hide from me. I remember everything, so don't go back on your word."
Lu Chenyang was both amused and confused. He never expected Yan Xing to be like this when he was drunk. He felt a little pity for him.
"Okay, I won't default on my debt. I'll take you home, okay?" Lu Chenyang coaxed her patiently with a gentle tone.
Yan Xing stretched out his hand to him, and Lu Chenyang looked at him in confusion.
"Then hold my hand and walk me back." Yan Xing asked seriously, "It's dark now, the road is slippery, I'm afraid of falling, you have to protect me."
Lu Chenyang: “…”
Seeing how cute he was, Lu Chenyang felt happy and just wanted to satisfy all his requests.
So he held his hand and supported him carefully. Yan Xing was not polite either, and pressed most of his body on him, wishing he could lean his whole body in his arms.
Lu Chenyang supported him and sent him back to the room. Yan Xing looked thin but he was not light at all. He pressed Lu Chenyang without any hesitation. After just a short walk, Lu Chenyang was sweating all over.
Lu Chenyang placed Yan Xing on the bed and finally breathed a sigh of relief: "It's quite heavy."
No, why didn't he call a guard over? Lu Chenyang was very annoyed and slapped himself on the forehead.
Lu Chenyang, feeling extremely frustrated, decided to be a good person to the end. He covered Yan Xing with a blanket and gave him a glass of water.
After taking good care of him, looking at his peacefully sleeping face, she couldn't help but curl her lips: "Happy New Year, Cheng Xiao."
Lu Chenyang left quietly and closed the door.
Yan Xing opened his eyes when he heard the noise, his black eyes shining like stars.
He wasn't completely indifferent to her, otherwise why would he be so careful and considerate? Thinking of this, a faint sweetness welled up in his heart. This sweetness was like a wave, sweeping over him, making him completely immersed in the sweet tide.
