Chapter 412 The Boys of That Time (Forty-Nine)
"That time?" Lu Lingjun paused.
“Yes, that time, you held your old man’s remains and cried for a long time. It was the first time I’d ever seen you cry like that.” Gu Yanjing closed his eyes and nodded.
“Jiaojiao comforted me for a long time.” Lu Lingjun kissed Gu Yanjing’s nape.
In front of a large audience, the sight of this made the female fans of BL (Boys' Love) feel their hearts flutter.
"That's because I pity you for becoming an orphan overnight." Gu Yanjing tried to dodge, but couldn't.
“Isn’t Jiaojiao here with me?” Lu Lingjun tied Gu Yanjing’s hair up with a rubber band, which was both down-to-earth and cool.
"My Vermilion Bird is so beautiful." Lu Lingjun touched Gu Yanjing's eyes and eyebrows, so affectionately that he seemed oblivious to the presence of others.
Others commented, "Hey guys, you two can keep being all lovey-dovey, we'll just quietly watch the drama unfold."
"Get out of my way." Gu Yan frowned, slapped Lu Lingjun's hand away, his eyes cold and sharp.
"Does it hurt again?" Lu Lingjun grabbed that hand, held the wrist, and looked at the twisted blue veins under the skin.
"It's alright." Gu Yanjing struggled, but couldn't move.
He's had this hidden problem in his body for so many years, he's gotten used to it.
"If you can't take it anymore, just hit me, vent your anger, don't hold back." Lu Lingjun kissed Gu Yanjing's fingertips, looking like he was seriously asking for a beating.
"No need, just let go and let me eat something." Gu Yanjing was blind to Lu Lingjun's declaration of love, pulling her hand back without changing her expression and calmly snapping a potato chip.
Lu Lingjun was so angry that he wanted to smash this eyesore.
In Gu Yanjing's eyes, am I not even as good as a bag of snacks?
"Do you want to go back to the Heavenly Realm?" Lu Lingjun handed Gu Yanjing a bottle of milk tea and twisted the cap open with boyfriend-like strength.
"Can we go back? Hongjun has set this trap, trapping us all here. Who knows what he's planning? Going out might cause trouble." Gu Yanjing took a sip, shook his head, his long hair swaying, looking very handsome.
"That's true, then let's stay here. There's food, drink, and fun to do, it's pretty good. But, isn't Suzaku worried that His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor will be concerned?"
Lu Lingjun tidied up the dishes he had used for stewing soup and chatted slowly with Gu Yanjing.
Gu Yan paused for a moment: "I'm not a child anymore, and it's not like I've never been away from my brother before. What is there for my brother to worry about?"
Lu Lingjun chuckled: "Who said that? Back when you first went to the battlefield, His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor, who had always disliked me, spent the whole night giving me instructions and forcing me to swear an oath that if anything happened to you, I would also be buried with you."
It's funny to think about it now. The Heavenly Emperor, who always seemed so calm and composed, actually pulled him aside in the middle of the night and made him keep an eye on Gu Yanjing. In fact, the oath he made was quite unreasonable.
"So that's why my brother didn't like you back then." Gu Yanjing's focus was always unusual.
Lu Lingjun was personally delivered to Gu Yanjing by Gu Yanci, but later on, Gu Yanci grew increasingly displeased with Lu Lingjun.
"It's no wonder His Majesty doesn't like me. I let you cause trouble every day, clean up your messes, and share your punishments, making you seem like a treacherous minister," Lu Lingjun sneered.
"Really? How could I be so cheeky?" Gu Yan was speechless for a moment.
"My lord, this is more than just skin deep. How many sins did you commit back then?" Lu Lingjun said with a wry smile.
Raising such a large Vermilion Bird was no easy task; it almost cost him his life.
