Poor little Ayuan had no idea that he had fallen into this man's trap from the very first moment he saw him.
She lowered her head cautiously, hugged Si Jin tighter, and asked, "And then?"
Si Jin sighed and continued, "After my aunt passed away, I changed my surname to Gu and followed my mother's, and ventured out on my own."
“But in recent years, Sun Wuyang has been envious of my position as the head of the Eastern Depot. He wants to use me to get promoted and make money, and to eliminate his rivals. So he has gone to great lengths to please me and wants to take me back.”
“His concubine discovered this and naturally wouldn’t allow me, her son who had suddenly appeared out of nowhere, to seize the family property that rightfully belonged to her son. So she bribed the vegetable farmers to slowly poison the vegetables that were delivered to my Gu residence every day.”
"This kind of poison is undetectable in normal times, but it can be deadly over the years."
As she spoke, Si Jin seemed to grow increasingly exhausted, her voice growing softer and softer, and before long, she slowly closed her eyes.
Yuwen Linyuan was so frightened that his breath caught in his throat and his heart almost stopped: "Gu Sijin! Gu Sijin, wake up!"
"Stop shaking me, I'm not dead." Si Jin restrained Yuwen Linyuan's Parkinson's-like hand and said calmly, "The air here is nice, I'm going to take a nap."
"If you don't want to keep me company and sneak away, I won't even notice..."
As she spoke, she reluctantly let go of Yuwen Linyuan's hand, her whole being exuding an indescribable sorrow and loneliness.
Even Yuwen Linyuan's heart clenched tightly.
To outsiders, Gu Sijin, the supervisor of the Eastern Depot, seemed so glamorous, but who would have thought that he also had such a heartbreaking side?
Yuwen Linyuan didn't leave; he just held him tightly. Even when Si Jin fell asleep and let go of his hand, he would hold it back again.
Naïve yet sweet.
As evening approached, a cool breeze began to blow. Yuwen Linyuan, feeling the chill in the air, wanted to go back to the carriage to get him a cloak.
But at this moment, Si Jin pressed down on one of his sleeves tightly, refusing to let go.
Having no other option, Yuwen Linyuan placed his hand on Si Jin's waist, drew a small dagger commonly carried by members of the Eastern Depot, and swish—
He tore open a section of his sleeve and slipped away stealthily.
After putting on the cloak and pulling Si Jin back into his arms, Yuwen Linyuan finally had time to notice his torn sleeve, and the vow he had made not long ago gradually echoed in his mind.
I'm Not a Homosexual
I will never like men.
For some reason, I feel... a slight pain in my face.
He seems to... like Gu Sijin a little.
Well, only one point!
Yuwen Linyuan lowered his hand, hugged Si Jin, and wanted to return the dagger to his waist, but because he couldn't find the scabbard, he lingered on that slender waist for a long time.
Unintentionally, the person in the dream was awakened.
The red-clad eunuch suddenly opened his eyes, snatched the knife, and pressed it against Yuwen Linyuan's neck. The next moment, he pinned the man to the ground.
Soft grass, two people locked in a fierce confrontation.
Bathed in the soft light of the setting sun, it evoked a unique range of emotions.
Si Jin paused for a moment, seemingly realizing that she had overreacted. She was about to let go when she saw the boy's torn sleeve.
As if he had discovered something interesting, he stood up and laughed heartily: "Your Highness, so you're gay too?"
Yuwen Linyuan felt extremely embarrassed and hurriedly hid his sleeves, warning, "Stop laughing, isn't it because you were sleeping too soundly?"
"You treat me like a servant, and even use me as a cushion. I only did this because I was afraid of waking you up... Don't laugh!"
But Si Jin clearly had no intention of stopping, so Yuwen Linyuan blushed and tried to cover his mouth.
Both of them were skilled fighters. After a short fight, it was Yuwen Linyuan's turn to pin Si Jin to the ground and look down at him.
Under the setting sun, her already exquisite and alluring face seemed even more beautiful.
It seems he likes Gu Sijin a little more now.
The young prince, who had not yet come of age, was feeling distressed about his budding romantic feelings when Si Jin took the initiative to raise her hand and stroke his ear.
"Your Highness..."
His voice was so sweet and pleasant that the moment it left his lips, Yuwen Linyuan was thrown into a panic.
The little prince thought Si Jin would ask questions like "Why are your ears red?" and tried hard to come up with a reason.
Should we say it was the sunset, or that he was wearing too many layers today, or...?
Just as she was racking her brains, she saw Si Jin's peach blossom eyes crinkle as she continued to whisper seductively, "Admit it, you like me."
