Escape 99 Times (XII) What wet his palms was...
Ever since his twelfth birthday, Master Xuanyuan would have the same nightmare every time he fell asleep. This nightmare would wake him up frequently and make it difficult for him to fall asleep.
At first, Xuanyuan's family thought it was too early for Xuanyuan to go abroad alone, so they persuaded Xuanyuan to return home.
But after returning home, this nightmare not only did not dissipate, but became even more vivid and terrifying.
Xuanyuan's family hired a psychologist to treat him, but no one knew the cause of his illness, so they turned their research direction to how to help Xuanyuan sleep soundly without dreams.
As it turned out, this study also failed.
Whether using drugs to help him sleep, hypnosis, or physical sleep aids, Xuanyuan will start dreaming as soon as he falls asleep.
If a person does not get proper rest for a long time, he will gradually collapse, not to mention that Xuanyuan is not only still young, but also needs to receive a lot of information every day.
Fortunately, after half a month, Xuanyuan encountered a "cure" that only treated the symptoms but not the root cause:
He caught it on the roadside, Lu Renjia.
The Xuanyuan family would not allow the heir of the Xuanyuan family to have such a big human weakness.
Therefore, after returning to the Xuanyuan family, Lu Renjia and the herbs he made underwent a comprehensive examination, not to mention his past. He was afraid that the Xuanyuan family knew more about it than he did.
But the more they examined, the more they realized that Xuanyuan's condition currently had no cure except Lu Renjia's.
So, at the age of fourteen, Lu Renjia became Young Master Xuanyuan's exclusive sleeping pill.
…
After confirming that his symptoms had been alleviated, Xuanyuan immediately left the country.
Lu Renjia was naturally expelled from school and went abroad.
Things abroad are not stable.
Although the domestic laws are not perfect and the political power is mainly controlled by major families, the environment abroad is more chaotic in comparison.
Faced with an environment where a gunfight could break out at any time, Xuanyuan would not allow his "sleeping pills" to leave his sight.
Therefore, the Xuanyuan family assigned a tutor to teach Lu Renjia.
Lu Renjia was a little surprised when he saw his teachers.
The teachers in front of me are all top names in the education field. Some of them have stopped teaching. I don’t know what conditions Xuanyuan offered to invite these teachers to come out of retirement.
He expected that the Xuanyuan family would give him fine clothes and food to appease him, and would also assign him a teacher based on his request. However, he did not expect that they would assign him such a good private tutor.
Too good an education coupled with too much talent can easily foster ambitions that a male servant shouldn't have.
The Xuanyuan family would not fail to understand this.
Was it compensation, or did she not mind, or did she never want him to stay with Xuanyuan from the beginning?
That won't work.
Such a good opportunity is rare, he must stay as close to Xuanyuan as possible so that he can study Xuanyuan carefully and facilitate the contact in the next few lives.
The will of the world put the so-called fate around his neck like training a dog, and then handed the reins to Xuanyuan, telling him that he must stay close to Xuanyuan to survive.
In that case, how could he not obey if he wanted to survive?
However, he has the final say on how close to get, with what identity, and whether the identities of hunter and prey will be reversed.
In order to be safe, he can play the role of a good student who is serious, hardworking and has some talent, but the gap between him and Xuanyuan is too big.
He had to show his edge and let the brilliance he emitted pierce the eyes of the Xuanyuan family, so that they would become wary of him.
A little risky, but worth the gamble.
Fortunately, he won the bet.
An obedient male servant can indeed stay with Xuanyuan for a long time, but he cannot take the relationship with Xuanyuan any further. If he chooses the former, the relationship can only remain that of master and servant.
He still remembered the day when Xuanyuan discovered his talent for learning, his eyes were as bright as stars.
This reminded him of Xuanyuan's eyes that seemed to be covered with a layer of gray mist in the world invaded by plants.
After showing his talent for learning, he quickly completed the high school curriculum in one year with the help of the Xuanyuan family.
During this time, Xuanyuan developed a strong interest in him, and bedtime chats were added to their schedule.
After he expressed his desire to learn the skills of "perfume making", the Xuanyuan family introduced him to the world's top perfumer and the ancestor of a family of traditional Chinese medicine.
He combined perfume making skills with knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine. At only eighteen years old, he had already developed his own style and began to show his brilliance on the world-class stage.
The Xuanyuan family did not restrict his development, but even provided a lot of help.
He can freely use spices that ordinary people may never be able to touch in their lifetime. Xuanyuan gave him a black card with no upper limit, so he can buy as many spices as he likes without having to worry about the price.
But on the other hand, he still has to abide by the contract he signed.
No matter what his identity is outside, he is Xuanyuan's male servant who sleeps with him.
Therefore, the two people always appear in front of the public at the same time.
Everyone knew how important his status was in front of Xuanyuan, so many people began to approach him deliberately.
Some people tried to lure him into revealing information about the Xuanyuan family, some people thought about getting in touch with Xuanyuan by getting close to him, and some people tried to sow discord between him and Xuanyuan. Unfortunately, his talents were restrained by the Xuanyuan family, and they secretly encouraged him to use some means to shake the powerful Xuanyuan family.
No matter what others say, he remains unmoved.
Even the way the old Patriarch Xuanyuan looked at him changed from vigilance to appreciation and trust.
They will never know the real reason why he will never leave Xuanyuan.
…
"It's time for you to go to bed."
Lu Renjia reminded Xuanyuan.
Xuanyuan has a problem. Sometimes when he is dealing with affairs, he forgets the time. If no one reminds him, he will always miss the time for meals and sleep. After the two became familiar with each other, Lu Renjia took on the responsibility of a human alarm clock.
Xuanyuan glanced at the clock, stretched and stood up.
"I'm going to wash up."
After spending a long time with Xuanyuan, Xuanyuan would occasionally show his less mature side in front of him.
When Lu Renjia first met him, he thought that Xuanyuan's domineering aura was innate, and he had been a domineering person since he was a child.
Lying on the bed, Xuanyuan finished washing and lay down beside him in a short while. Now Xuanyuan no longer needed the two of them to lie back to back for him to fall asleep, but Xuanyuan still liked to sleep next to him. In addition to being able to smell the scent of the herbs more clearly, it was also convenient for the two of them to have a bedtime chat.
Xuanyuan seemed to fall asleep particularly easily next to him.
When the bedside chat just started, Xuanyuan was still very serious. Even if he was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes, he would wait until the topic was finished and say "good night" in a serious manner before going to sleep.
After the two became familiar with each other, it would often happen that Xuanyuan would become silent while they were chatting. Lu Renjia would turn his head and see that Xuanyuan had fallen asleep.
Of course, there have also been cases where Lu Renjia was "forced to mute the microphone" because it exceeded Xuanyuan's sleeping time.
Lu Renjia is like a sleeping pill to Xuanyuan. He only needs to cover Xuanyuan's eyes with his hands when Xuanyuan is too excited, and Xuanyuan will fall asleep quickly within a minute.
However, every time Xuanyuan's eyelashes brushed across his palm, he would be slightly stunned.
At this time, he would always think of the wetness that slid across his palms when he covered Xuanyuan's eyes in a panic in the martial arts world.
The tears that wet his palms were from his kiss.
He has been reincarnated too many times, and sometimes the memories that he thought were already blurred are still very clear when he occasionally thinks of them.
The days of sleeping together passed without any incident. Except for the occasional awkwardness when getting up, everything was peaceful and warm.
This kind of warmth ended on Xuanyuan’s seventeenth birthday.
On this day, at Xuanyuan's birthday party, a girl playing the piano appeared.
Her piano playing has a calming charm.
