251, I can't help myself
251, I can't help myself
Feeling someone was harassing him in his sleep, Lu Mingfei opened his eyes and saw a handsome face magnified in front of him, and met a pair of eyes looking at him. Only then did he realize that it was Zhao Lang who was kissing him while he was asleep.
He pushed the man's face away a little with his hand, almost laughing out of anger, and asked the man: "No wonder, I always feel like someone is disturbing my sleep, so it's you."
"I'm sorry. Seeing you in my arms, I... couldn't help myself and kissed you." Zhao Lang didn't feel the slightest bit of embarrassment at being caught. He even grabbed Lu Huiyuan's hand and rubbed his cheek against Lu Huiyuan's palm. "Don't be angry."
"Zhao Lang, how come I didn't know before that you are such a person." Lu Mingfei's eyes moved back and forth on Zhao Lang's face. If this handsome face was not the familiar handsome face in his memory, he would have suspected that the prince had been possessed by some spoiled spirit.
"Hmm? What kind of person?"
"She's full of sweet talk, she can coax people... and she can act like a spoiled brat!"
Lu Mingfei grabbed Zhao Lang's collar and pulled him towards him. This time he took the initiative to kiss the other person's lips.
The two people were kissing each other, their black hair tangled together, just like they were at this moment.
The temperature in the tea room continued to rise, and the room was filled with ambiguity.
The guards in the dark either looked up at the sky or down at the ground. No one dared to look towards the tea room. If they hadn't covered their ears, they would have covered their ears for fear that they wouldn't hear any danger from their master.
An unknown amount of time passed before the sun set in the west. The sky was filled with clouds and sunlight streamed into the tea room where they were.
As soon as he saw the sky, Lu Mingfei knew it was getting late. Knowing that his family would be waiting for him to go back for dinner, he left Zhao Lang's body and sat up. "I should go home."
"Can't you just spend the night outside with me tonight?" Zhao Lang looked at the red mark on his collarbone, his eyes darkened. He also sat up, hugged Lu Huiyuan's waist from the side, and bent down to kiss Lu Huiyuan's ear.
Looking at Lu Huiyuan's red ears, he thought it was very cute.
"Stop it! Stop harassing me!" Lu Mingfei pushed Zhao Lang's face away, forbidding him to kiss him. He also slapped away the hand that was preventing him from getting dressed, put his own clothes in order, and then turned around to help Zhao Lang put his clothes in order.
Thinking of what they had just done, he felt a little embarrassed and avoided Zhao Lang's gaze. When he looked up, he saw Zhao Lang looking at him pitifully, like a dog about to be abandoned by its owner. He couldn't help but soften his heart again, "...You can come find me."
"I just finished the palace examination. I'm free during this period. You can come to me anytime."
"After the palace examination results come out, I'm going back to my hometown to pay respects to my ancestors. I should be able to return to the city on the same day."
"Hey, let's find some time to go to your farm. I have a few things here, let's go over there and ask the craftsmen to make them." He drew some blueprints some time ago, but because he was busy, he hadn't sent the blueprints to the workshop for the craftsmen to make them.
"What was the gift you said you were giving me last time?" Zhao Lang asked.
"Yes, it's among them." After Lu Mingfei helped Zhao Lang tidy up his clothes, he stood up to help Zhao Lang tidy up his hair crown.
Looking at the handsome face of the prince, he couldn't help but kiss him on the cheek. "During this period of time, I will help you sort out the businesses under your name and transfer the businesses in the open to the dark."
"I don't know where I'll rank in this palace exam. However, even if I'm not in the top two, as long as I'm ranked above the second place, I'll try to stay in Kyoto Prefecture."
"Give me a few more years... three years, maybe. I'll take care of things in Kyoto Prefecture. If you can return to Beijun by then, I'll go with you." Lu Mingfei didn't consider being an official a lifelong career. In his view, being an official was just being a civil servant. He had never studied to become an official in order to covet the people's money or get rich. In his view, being an official was simply about serving the people.
If one is willing to do things for the people, even if he is not in officialdom, he can do something useful for the ordinary people of this era in other ways.
But the difference here is whether he stays here alone, or is sent abroad as an official, or chooses to be with Zhao Lang to do what he wants to do.
As for his family, he would be honest with them about his relationship with Zhao Lang. If they could understand, that would be the best. If not, he would have to think of other ways.
In his new life, he is related to his parents and brothers in this life, and the family has lived in harmony until now. However, Lu Mingfei came into this world with the memories of his previous life. He has his own independent thoughts and is an independent person who cannot be controlled by his parents or others.
He has his own life he wants to live, and he has found a partner he wants to walk through that life and journey with. It's not like he just follows his parents' wishes and marries someone and has children with that person. That kind of marriage and life is not what he wants.
In fact, whether in his previous life or this one, he was always a person with his own ideas. Perhaps some would call him a rebel. But what he meant was that not everyone who did not follow the trajectory of others' lives and the secular rules, or who had their own ideas, was a rebel.
Rebellion should not be a derogatory term for people.
"Okay." Zhao Lang held Lu Mingfei's hand, brought it to his lips and kissed it. He looked at Lu Mingfei intently and said, "I didn't know you were thinking so far ahead."
"Of course we do. What we want is not the immediate pleasure, but forever, right?" Lu Mingfei looked at Zhao Lang and asked.
"Yes, you are right." Zhao Lang lowered his head and kissed the boy on the lips.
Just when Zhao Lang was about to push his luck, Lu Mingfei quickly pushed him away, stood up, and straightened his clothes. "Are you still here?"
"I'll take you home." Zhao Lang also stood up.
So the two of them left the tea room and went outside.
The carriage that brought them stopped in the yard. The two men got on the carriage, and the driver was still the same one as before.
It wasn't until the carriage stopped that Lu Mingfei knew he had arrived. He grabbed Zhao Lang's hand and said, "Don't get off. I'm leaving first." As he spoke, he stood up.
Zhao Lang hummed, then reluctantly let go of the boy's hand.
Lu Mingfei got out of the carriage and noticed a hand pulling up the window curtain. He knew Zhao Lang was watching him from inside. He waved to the people in the carriage and turned to leave.
At this time, their braised food shop was no longer open, but probably to wait for him to come back, half of the door was still open.
When he reached out to push the door, he saw his mother walking towards the door.
"Mother." Hearing the sound of horse hooves behind him, Lu Mingfei turned his head to look in the direction of the road, and saw that the carriage that brought him back had left.
"Hey, you're back? Where did you go with your friends today?" Seeing her eldest son coming back from outside, Liu Sanniang happily opened the other half of the door and let him in. Without waiting for her eldest son to reply, she continued, "We were just wondering why you hadn't come back yet. We were just about to eat, and you came back."
"I'm sorry, mother. I kept you waiting for so long." Lu Mingfei said apologetically.
"Don't say sorry, it's not a big deal. It's rare that you want to go out and play with your friends, so go ahead and have fun." Liu Sanniang did not blame the child for taking so long to come back. Instead, she was happy that the child, who was either studying or helping with housework all day, was willing to go out and play with friends.
"You go in first. I'll close the door here and then go in to eat."
"Let me go with you." Lu Mingfei also came over and closed the door with his mother.
Just as the mother and son were closing the door, his father came out.
After they closed the door, he went to the backyard with his father and mother, and saw that his adoptive father and mother and their family of three were also at their house, obviously waiting for him to come back.
After greeting everyone, Lu Mingfei sat down at his seat.
It was only after dinner that he told the adults in his family about the palace examination.
However, he did not say how confident he was about his ranking. He only said that it would take a few days for the results to be announced after the palace examination, and he planned to take a break for a while.
"Okay, it's time for you to have a good rest." Hearing this, Lu Youtian said to his eldest son, "I and your mother are here at home, you don't have to worry about this and that all the time, just rest well and don't worry about anything."
"I'm here too. You just need to have a good rest. Your adoptive father and your father will take care of the family business and won't let you worry about anything." Lu Qingfeng reminded his adopted son not to forget that he, his adoptive father, is here.
"Haha, okay." Lu Mingfei saw that both fathers were eager to take on all the responsibilities so that he could rest. He looked at his three younger brothers beside him, not forgetting their homework. "Wait a few days, I'll find time to carefully review your homework."
"...Brother, just have a good rest and don't worry about us." Seeing that his brother did not forget to check their homework even when he was resting, Lu Mingrui immediately said to his brother with a bitter face.
Lu Mingcong and Zhang Xiaobao were both silent and didn't dare to speak, for fear that their brother who had just passed the palace examination would target them.
"I'm just checking your homework. It won't affect my rest. You three had better be well prepared in advance. Otherwise, if you can't answer the questions when I check you, you will be punished." Lu Mingfei could see that these three guys wanted to avoid being checked on their homework.
“…” Lu Mingrui.
“…”Lu Mingcong & Zhang Xiaobao.
The leaders of the two families... or rather the leaders of the three families, including Zhang Qi, were all happy to see this happen.
After dinner, he chatted with his family for a while. When it got dark, his adoptive father and mother took the children home. Lu Mingfei took Zhang Qi with him and took a carriage back to the courtyard on Chunxi Road. Author's words: Thank you Bole 9492239 (9492239) for your support. Kisses!
