"So I want to stay with you and see more of you before I get old."
Tang Yu frowned in dissatisfaction and stopped what he was doing. "Who said you're old?"
"Have you forgotten? We all want to live a long life!"
Huo Cenji sighed, finally revealing his selfish motive helplessly: "Tang Yu, I don't want you to be confined in the palace, waiting for me to see you every day, so I want to take you out for a walk... No one will disturb us, just you and me."
The last sentence is the key point, right?
Tang Yu smiled complacently, leaned down, and the amulet tied in front of him also hung in front of Huo Cenji's eyes——
"Admit it! Ultimately, everyone just wants to be a salted fish!"
Huo Cenji didn't understand what Tang Yu meant by "salted fish", but when he looked at Tang Yu's eyes with a gentle smile, he knew that Tang Yu didn't take his selfish desire full of possessiveness to heart.
This person is always like this, smiling gently and harmlessly, but he doesn't know that the anger, stupidity and desire of others all arise from this.
But it doesn’t matter. It’s better if Tang Yu doesn’t know. This way he can make his behavior seem more legitimate and natural.
As for whether he was generous, even if he pardoned Zhao Yuanqi and allowed him to return to the palace, it was only because Zhao Yuanqi still had the value he needed.
"Hey, hey, hey! Are you distracted again? Haha, that's how it is when men get older. Looks like I have to find someone younger who will interest me, right?" Tang Yu turned his head away and turned over, determined not to participate in a one-man show anymore.
Huo Cenji regained consciousness in a panic, only to see Tang Yu with his back to him. Without thinking much, Huo Cenji pressed himself against Tang Yu's back, trying to say something soft:
"Tang Yu, I didn't mean it... How can you calm down? I'll do it right away, okay?"
"Well, alright, His Majesty has already surrendered, how dare I take advantage of Qiao again?" Tang Yu's voice rang out, and then he added slowly:
"Now I'm afraid I need to eat a bowl of dumplings to feel better... No, two bowls."
Huo Cenji, who always put Tang Yu's health first, frowned when he heard this and subconsciously rejected it: "No, if you eat too much, you will feel uncomfortable at night..."
Tang Yu: "Oh, man."
Finally, the young attendant was not around, and he had the chance to make a request, but Huo Cenji refused right away!
He will no longer easily believe what men say.
Seeing Tang Yu sneer and stop talking, Huo Cenji held his forehead helplessly, and finally agreed to Tang Yu's request: "Okay, two bowls, two bowls, but only for one night, never again..."
"Okay, okay, Your Majesty, please pass on the message! I'll be waiting." Tang Yu quickly turned around and kissed Huo Cenji, completely blocking Huo Cenji's words of advice in his throat.
There was a rustling sound of clothes, and when he looked again, Huo Cenji had already put on his clothes. He tied his belt slowly and couldn't help but glance at Tang Yu again.
How could it be so easy to just follow Tang Yu's words?
Listening carefully to the sound of the door closing, Tang Yu sat up instantly, took out the wooden sculpture of a black-faced kitten that he had hidden under the soft pillow in a panic, and breathed a sigh of relief.
I was thinking of giving him a surprise, but after finishing his official duties every day, Huo Cenji would rush over without stopping, and today he came especially early.
This little surprise was almost discovered. Fortunately, I whispered a few words to get rid of the person, otherwise Huo Cenji would definitely know about it.
Huh, stay here and be well. It’s not time for you to come out yet.
Tang Yu took out a small wooden box from under the bed, gently placed the wood carving inside and put it back to its original position before lying down on the bed.
Not only was the little surprise I prepared not discovered, but I was also able to drink two bowls of dumplings.
What a good life he is living!
Unable to resist, he turned over. After hearing the movement at the door, Tang Yu silently regained his composure and waited quietly for the delicious midnight snack to be delivered to his mouth.
"Asleep? If you're asleep, you won't eat, right?" Huo Cenji came in and could only see Tang Yu's back, so he deliberately asked. As expected, three seconds later, Tang Yu sat up and emphasized seriously:
"I didn't sleep, don't slander me."
Huo Cenji put the wooden tray on the table, picked up a bowl of dumplings on the table and handed it to Tang Yu, then sat down and watched Tang Yu eat quietly.
"Why are you looking at me? Eat too." Tang Yu glanced at the other bowl of dumplings on the table and urged Huo Cenji to take action.
"...Okay." Huo Cenji held the bowl and put the warm and sweet dumplings into his mouth. As the sweetness spread throughout his mouth, he finally understood why Tang Yu loved these snacks so much.
It’s really sweet.
Even though he doesn't like sweets, he still can't help but indulge in it.
