Restoration 13
They said they were going for an outing, but they actually went to the market first. Yuan Le was a person who was curious about everything, and since Qi Xun brought him out, he was naturally happy to let him have some fun.
There were a lot of people at the market, after all, it was an important festival.
Yuan Le walked from the East Market to the West Market, and Qi Xun followed behind him and acted as the payee.
Several times, Yuan Le almost disappeared from Qi Xun's sight. It was not until Yuan Le stood at a stall selling masks that Qi Xun finally grabbed his hand.
Yuan Le turned around without noticing anything, holding a strange bird mask in his hand, "Does this mask look like yours? I'll buy one too, so we can have the same style."
Qi Xun felt warm in his heart, "Do you want to wear the same one as me?"
Yuan Le pointed at his clothes, then at his own, "I can even pretend to be you!"
The owner of the mask stall cheerfully interrupted, "You two are brothers, right? You have such a good relationship!"
Qi Xun's forehead twitched.
"It's good." His purpose was indeed to make Yuan Le appear close to him, but there was no need to misunderstand it as the previous relationship.
Qi Xun pulled Yuan Le away. Yuan Le was still confused about the situation and covered his face with the mask he had just obtained. "Qi Xun, Qi Xun, guess what expression I have now?"
Qi Xun looked back at Yuan Le and could only see his eyes sparkling with an obvious smile.
It was only then that he realized that when people smile sincerely, their eyes will also smile.
"You are laughing, right?" Qi Xun replied calmly.
Yuan Le was a little surprised, "How did you know?"
"So I'm right?" Although it was a question, Qi Xun knew that the answer would not be wrong.
His tone was as steady as ever. "I got the answer right, so is there a reward?"
Yuan Le instantly clenched his small bag - it was full of the little gadgets that Qi Xun had bought for him along the way.
"You, what reward do you want?"
He needs to think carefully about how to choose what to eat from the things in the bag.
Qi Xun raised both hands and held Yuan Le's shoulders at the same time, straightening him so that the two of them were facing each other.
Yuan Le suddenly became a little nervous, and his two beautiful cat-like eyes kept blinking and trembling.
Qi Xun leaned over and placed a gentle kiss on Yuan Le's forehead...through a mask.
Touch and leave.
He was afraid that he really wouldn't be able to control himself.
Qi Xun lowered his eyelids and looked at Yuan Le with gentle eyes, "Reward."
Yuan Le's heartbeat suddenly began to beat rapidly.
Although it didn't actually touch his skin, Yuan Le felt a burning sensation on his forehead.
He raised his hand and touched it, then realized that Qi Xun was still looking at him, so he quickly put his hand down. After completing this series of actions, Yuan Le thought about it and felt that he was guilty.
Damn it! He was the one being kissed, why should he feel guilty?
Yuan Le glared at Qi Xun again in a bluffing manner, then quickly turned his back and left in a hurry.
Qi Xun smiled again.
It's a good thing that Yuan Le has such emotions, which means he is slowly coming to his senses.
The emotion of 'liking' is completely different from 'trust' or 'attachment'. He hopes that Yuan Le will also 'like' him, and it would be best if it could slowly develop into 'love'...
Qi Xun was distracted for a while, and when he came back to his senses, he had disappeared again.
At this moment, Qi Xun still thought it was just a playful teenager.
But it was not until he searched the entire West Market and mobilized the secret guards to look for her and still found no one, that Qi Xun realized something was wrong.
Yuan Le had no way of avoiding the secret guards' sight by himself, so Yuan Le was taken away.
In crowded places, such omissions are inevitable...
Qi Xun's face was terribly gloomy.
…
Yuan Le just took a few steps towards the crowded area, and was suddenly pushed by a group of people towards the narrow alley at the other end.
He was just about to turn around and call Qi Xun when someone suddenly covered his mouth and dragged him into the alley. Then, Yuan Le lost consciousness.
When he woke up again, he found himself in a very familiar place... the shabby yard where he and Chu Weilan lived before.
Yuan Le was a little confused.
He licked his lips, feeling a sting.
Did Qi Xun have him brought back? Did he not want him to go out and play, so he was locked up in the cold palace again?
...It doesn't feel like it.
Yuan Le sat up and was about to go out to see what was going on when he heard a creaking sound and someone pushed the door open.
The person who came was Chu Weilan who had been missing for a long time.
But Yuan Le didn't seem to be very surprised. When he saw Chu Weilan, a happy smile immediately appeared on his face and he called out "Master" sweetly.
Chu Weilan came over, lowered her eyes and looked at him for a while, then smiled as well, "How is Xiao Le'er doing recently?"
Yuan Le nodded, "Okay!"
He has been eating, drinking and living well recently, as if he has returned to the leisurely days at home, and his face has even become a little rosier.
It was only after Yuan Le finished answering that he realized that Chu Weilan was not in a good state...
His already thin figure looked even thinner, his cheeks were slightly sunken, and there was a faint blue mark under his eyes, which greatly reduced his immortal appearance.
Yuan Le then showed a surprised expression, "...Master, are you sick?"
Chu Weilan coughed twice and said, "It's nothing serious."
He paused for a moment and then asked, "Xiao Le'er, do you blame me for not taking you away before?"
Yuan Le answered without thinking, "No, the master has his own things to do. I will only be a burden to the master."
The smile on Chu Weilan's face became more genuine. At this time, Yuan Le asked hesitantly, "Master, why did you bring me here after knocking me out? If you had just called me, I would have gone with you. That drug seems to be corrosive. My mouth hurts a little."
Chu Weilan just smiled and said nothing... He certainly didn't come here just to kidnap someone.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Yuan Le tactfully stopped asking. His mind was racing, and he suddenly thought of something else. "Master, if I suddenly disappeared, Qi Xun would be worried!"
"Are you afraid that he'll worry?" Chu Weilan paused and asked the same question she had asked before, "Do you like Qi Xun?"
"..." This time, Yuan Le did not deny it firmly, "This is not good. He actually takes good care of me."
Chu Weilan took a long breath, and it was obvious that he was trying his best to suppress his emotions.
This was also the first time Yuan Le saw Chu Weilan showing an angry emotion.
Before he could react, Chu Weilan suddenly grabbed his shoulders and dragged him in front of her. "He takes good care of you? He should. He just wants to fuck you, so of course he has to give you some sweet treats first... But do you know how he treated me? He wanted to kill me and beat me severely. My injuries haven't healed yet. Do you think I can still coexist peacefully with him?"
"No, no!" Yuan Le waved his hands hurriedly, stammering as he tried to explain, "Master, calm down. I don't, I don't want you to live in peace. I, I will always stand by you, by your side!"
These words seemed to have worked. Chu Weilan took two quick breaths, and then his expression calmed down a little.
Seeing that he was calm, Yuan Le asked worriedly, "Master, your injury..."
Chu Weilan let her go and turned his back. "Go tell him you're safe. I'll wait for you here."
Yuanle: ? ?
It’s so strange, they tied him up and then let him go so easily?
Yuan Le couldn't figure it out, but Chu Weilan had already left.
He stood up and chased after him, but there was no one in the dilapidated yard.
Yuan Le waited there for a while, but Chu Weilan really seemed to have no intention of coming back, so he could only walk out in confusion. Just after he left the cold palace, Qi Xun rushed over with a team of guards.
When Qi Xun saw the person, he immediately pulled him over and looked him up and down, "What did Chu Weilan do to you?"
Yuan Le was confused, "I didn't do anything... How did you know it was him?"
Qi Xun was silent.
Of course he knew that Chu Weilan came to see him when Yuan Le was unconscious.
The moment he saw Chu Weilan, Qi Xun knew that Yuan Le had been taken away by him.
"Chu Weilan, how dare you appear in front of me?" Qi Xun wanted to kill her at that time, but because he thought that Yuan Le was still in Chu Weilan's hands, he did not take action directly.
Chu Weilan also knew what he was thinking, so she dared to appear in front of Qi Xun again.
"Let's make a bet. Each of us will spend one day together, and then we'll spend two more months together. Then Yuanle can choose who to go with."
Qi Xun sneered, "What kind of fair competition are you talking about? I have the ability to monopolize him, so why do you want me to bet with you again? Yuan Le is not an object either. By doing this, do you ever treat him as an independent person? Do you ever respect his identity?"
After Qi Xun finished speaking, he closed his eyes again... He actually knew that Chu Weilan only regarded Yuan Le as his property. The incident when he used him to kill Xiao Chenzi had already clearly revealed his attitude.
Chu Weilan remained calm, "Just because Yuan Zhen and Madam Yuan are here with me."
“…”
It turned out that Chu Weilan disappeared for such a long time because she went to Fucheng and controlled Yuan Le's parents.
He didn't think Chu Weilan's action was despicable, because he himself had also thought about bringing Yuan Le's parents to Tianji Country, but he was just one step slower than Chu Weilan.
Moreover, Chu Weilan's action really made Qi Xun worried.
Yuan Le always wants to go home, which means he cares about his parents very much. If he lets his parents be controlled by Chu Weilan, Yuan Le will definitely be sad.
"One person per day is fine, but you can't force him... and you can't seduce him either." After weighing the pros and cons, Qi Xun had no choice but to compromise.
This time it was Chu Weilan's turn to sneer, "Why are you pretending to be a gentleman now? If you want to win someone's heart, any action can be considered seduction."
These words made Qi Xun silent. Indeed, when a person approaches someone with the purpose of courting, then his every word and action is all for the purpose of inducing the other person to fall in love with him.
But Qi Xun still has his own bottom line.
"He doesn't understand love yet. Some things...don't go too far." He had said it very clearly, and Chu Weilan must have understood.
Chu Weilan's eyelashes trembled, and finally she said "hmm" softly.
…
Qi Xun came back to his senses and looked at Yuan Le in front of him. He was still looking at him nervously, probably because he was worried about Chu Weilan.
"I've met Chu Weilan, so I know." Qi Xun paused and continued, "I'm not a good person."
He made many concessions for Yuan Le, but that didn't mean he had developed a heart of compassion...
"If you dare to choose him, I will definitely not grant your wish!"
Agreeing to the bet with Chu Weilan was actually just a temporary measure, but he would never be honest with his enemies.
Chu Weilan must have had the same idea, and maybe he had other plans in mind.
Both of them have evil intentions, and the innocent person who was made the bet is left confused.
Yuan Le: “Ah?”
