Only at this moment did Bai Su realize what treasure Chen Tian had given him.
He couldn't help but find the man's hand under the cover of his robe sleeve and held it tightly, his eyes slightly red. If it weren't for the occasional people passing by, he really wanted to rush over and hug this person immediately.
He doesn't care about the scars on his face. Although his right hand has become weak, he has now trained his left hand to be equally powerful, and can still defeat others with his exquisite swordsmanship.
Only his right leg, lame and unable to walk properly, caused him truly irreparable damage.
This made it impossible for him to mount his horse quickly and control his balance smoothly, so how could he go to the battlefield and fight the enemy?
Bai Su had tried everything, from simply raising his shoes to seeking medical advice and medication, but nothing could restore his appearance. He had resigned himself to the fact that his fate was limited to a civilian career in the Ministry of War. Or, ideally, a return to the military as a military advisor.
No matter how powerful his left hand was, due to the problem of his legs and feet, he could no longer go to the battlefield and fight alongside his comrades.
But now, King Ning has given him new possibilities with a pair of shoes. How can he not be grateful and moved?
Seeing his lover so excited, Chen Tian knew that his gift had hit the mark and he felt very happy.
He knew that the wounds his lover had sustained in this small world could not be healed, so he had been trying to make amends for them. He often took Bai Su to eat nourishing foods and gave him various gifts. He also tried to find a way to make Bai Su walk like a normal person.
Although, he never cared about what his partner looked like. But he resented the sighing or contemptuous looks from others. Even though Bai Su might have been used to it, he couldn't.
He simply couldn't bear to see his partner getting hurt. He would never be able to tolerate or get used to such a thing.
By the time I tried on the shoes, it was getting dark. But now was the perfect time for a lakeside stroll. After all, the lights would be even more dazzling against the backdrop of the night.
Chen Tian took advantage of the cover of his robe sleeves, tentatively took Bai Su's hand, and walked towards the night market with him.
There are small vendors everywhere shouting and selling their goods, and there are all kinds of exquisite and interesting accessories.
Chen Tian was naturally excited about his first official date with his lover. Bai Su also had a happy smile on his face, and his whole demeanor seemed much softer.
Ever since he became disabled, he had never come to such a noisy place on his own initiative. He had never imagined that one day he would be able to walk on the street like a normal person, and still be with his beloved.
Even though they were walking as usual, Bai Su and Chen Tian still attracted a lot of attention. But this time, it wasn't sighs and contempt, but genuine amazement.
Putting aside Chen Tian's tall and handsome appearance, Bai Su's figure is already tall and straight, only slightly shorter than Chen Tian, and he has the aura unique to a military general.
The scar on the right side of his jaw was hideous, but its location wasn't particularly noticeable. The dim night made it even harder to see, only accentuating the youth's handsome features.
Two equally outstanding men stood side by side, both with smiles on their faces. When they looked at each other, there was an indescribable tenderness between their brows, which made countless women passing by them blush and their hearts beat faster.
There were many people queuing up by the river to release river lanterns, with many wishes written on them.
The river lanterns floated on the lake with warm light. Bai Su looked at the flickering light and shadow and felt a sense of déjà vu for some reason.
Seeing Bai Su staring at people releasing river lanterns, Chen Tian assumed he was in the mood. He recalled a time in a small world with his partner where they had released river lanterns together. He was just about to revisit that experience and release a few for fun when he noticed Yan Qingying and Bai Feizhang in the crowd.
Chen Tian was not expecting to run into these two jinxes while swimming in the lake. However, seeing that Bai Su didn't seem to notice, he simply kept silent. Not wanting to ruin the good atmosphere of the date, he quietly led Bai Su away.
By the lake, Bai Feizhang was still trying his best to please Yan Qingying, but Miss Yan was no longer shy like before, and instead seemed a little cold towards him. This made Bai Feizhang irritated, and he thought she was just being a spoiled brat, but he didn't want to give up the opportunity to marry into the Yan family.
Yan Qingying responded to his words indifferently. Thinking of Bai Feizhang's unremitting slander against Bai Su after Bai Su and Prince Ning left, she felt displeased with him.
I thought Bai Feizhang was a knowledgeable and talented man, but I didn't expect his character to be so worrying.
He mocked the Bai family as a crude warrior and kept talking about how vulgar the soldiers were, which disgusted Yan Qingying even more. She didn't expect Bai Feizhang, who was from the loyal and brave Marquis Mansion, to look down on military commanders like this.
Miss Yan had loved reading and reading historical records since she was a child. Her reputation as a talented woman wasn't unearned. She had always believed that both civil service and military service were essential for governing a country. To put it bluntly, without the military commanders who toiled at the frontier, there would be no peace and prosperity today.
Although she admires outstanding men, she also has her own standards in her heart.
It was obvious that Bai Feizhang had fallen to the bottom in her mind. She hadn't expected him to follow her just because she wanted to go swimming.
Yan Qingying felt unhappy and pouted quietly at the green bamboo. She looked at the river lantern with the words "I wish to find a lover" written on it, then smiled and happily placed it in the lake.
Miss Yan propped up her chin and looked at the swaying river lanterns with anticipation as they floated away.
Then not long after we went, the boat capsized...
Miss Yan: QAQ
On the other hand, Bai Su and Chen Tian were much more leisurely at the market.
Bai Su then realized that Prince Ning actually had a childlike heart. He wanted to buy any new gadget he saw.
Before long, they had already carried quite a few things. Fortunately, they were followed by guards. After Chen Tian handed the packages to them, he enthusiastically took Bai Su to the snack stand.
"Ah!" Chen Tian bought a piece of crystal clear water chestnut cake. He tasted a piece and found it delicious. He wanted to feed it to Bai Su immediately.
Bai Su couldn't help but blush when he saw this, but he couldn't bear to refuse, so he could only open his mouth and take a bite obediently.
The water chestnut cake was soft and smooth, a bit too sweet for Bai Su's taste. But just as he was about to say something, he saw the person opposite him eat the water chestnut cake he had bitten into his mouth. Then he leaned over and whispered in his ear, "Sure enough, the water chestnut cake that Zi Su has bitten tastes better."
As he spoke, Chen Tian licked his lips and his eyes deliberately wandered over Bai Su's lips.
The blatant teasing instantly made Bai Su feel like a cooked shrimp. This time, not only his ears, but his entire face was red. Unable to resist, Bai Su was somewhat at a loss and could only turn around and hurried away, quite like a desperate escape.
Chen Tian looked at Bai Su's back, a smile on his face. He quickly ran after him and held Bai Su's hand. Seeing that he didn't break free, he let out a smug look. He felt that no one in the world could be luckier than him, to have found such a gentle and loving partner.
The two of them walked and stopped along the way, strolling through the market happily. However, when they came across a stall selling jade ornaments, Chen Tian suddenly stopped, picked up a men's red jade hairpin, and examined it carefully.
Of course, you can't expect to find any good jade at a stall like this, but the styles are pretty good, simple and elegant.
Seeing Chen Tian looking at it for a long time, Bai Su was about to ask when he heard the person next to him say to him, "Zisu, would you please buy this hairpin for me?"
Bai Su was stunned when he heard this, but he immediately asked for the price. Seeing their extraordinary demeanor, the vendor didn't dare to ask for an exorbitant price and quoted a very fair price.
Bai Su paid the silver happily and saw that King Ning seemed very happy. He was a little confused and wondered what was so special about this red jade hairpin.
Chen Tian didn't explain. After getting the hairpin, he immediately took Bai Su to a secluded place hidden by a large tree and said to him, "Zisu, do you know the meaning of this red jade hairpin?"
Bai Su shook his head. He really didn't know.
"When I was traveling, I heard that when two men fall in love, they will give each other a red jade hairpin as a token of love, representing a lifetime of companionship. Zisu, please put this hairpin on me. If you put it on me, I will be yours forever, yours alone!"
Chen Tian looked at his beloved intently, his deep voice carrying a strong allure as he uttered the most beautiful words in the world.
Bai Su was hardly surprised, but more than that, he was overwhelmed by the sweetness and tears.
He never knew that he had such a soft and fragile side in his heart, but it was broken again and again by the person in front of him within a day.
He said that this red jade hairpin represents a couple for a lifetime.
He said they would never be apart...
The person I love most asked me for this hairpin personally, wanting to be bound to him for life. What a temptation it is.
Bai Su only knew that he couldn't refuse at all.
Carefully removing the man's hair crown, Bai Su felt his hands trembling slightly, but he still carefully tidied up Chen Tian's long hair. Then he simply gathered a bunch of hair and inserted a jade hairpin.
He had thought that the red jade hairpin would not match his outfit today, but he had not expected that after letting his long hair down, simply tying it up would actually highlight the Prince Ning's unrestrained and uninhibited demeanor, which made him deeply fascinated by it.
However, he couldn't let his imagination run wild any further.
The next second, his chin was pinched by slender fingers, and his whole body was protected in the man's arms and pressed against the tree.
A wanton kiss landed on the corner of his lips, and when he looked up, the sky was already filled with stars...
