The intoxication eroded her sobriety.
Her thick eyelashes drooped softly, casting a shadow on her snow-white face.
The silver bracelet wrapped twice around the boy's wrist had a snake head at the end, engraved with obscure Sanskrit.
"Qi...Qi Yu."
Not his name.
Jiang Zhan bent down and slowly approached her, repeating over and over again, "Your Highness, it's Jiang Ziqian."
"Jiang Ziqian...?" The girl hesitated and stammered his name.
There was a smile in the boy's eyes, "Well, Your Highness is very good."
He slowly straightened up, his beautiful face, as white as jade, was soaked in the chill of ice and broken snow. His eyes flashed slightly, and a slight sneer passed across his lips.
Zhong Yingying also looked over there, and suddenly frowned, "Is that Qi Yu?"
Jiang Zhan remained silent, his Adam's apple rolling, and a barely audible sigh escaped his crimson lips. "Sister Zhong, please stay here to look after His Highness. I'll go help him."
Zhong Yingying looked up curiously at the young Bodhisattva-like face.
The cinnabar mole between the eyebrows is as dazzling as blood.
The young man had already walked towards the other end of the pavilion connected to the corridor.
Qi Yu was surrounded by several young men in gorgeous clothes. There was a conspicuous red mark at the corner of his eye. He lowered his eyes, looking submissive.
Jiang Zhan strolled leisurely and stopped in front of Qi Yu.
She squinted her eyes and studied him for a moment.
Suddenly she burst into laughter, raised his chin with disdain, and said, "How dare you, a wretch like you, stand beside the prince of such splendor?"
The boy's black and white pupils, as clear as snow, flashed with malicious intent.
The young men who bullied Qi Yu stood beside Jiang Zhan.
Obviously they are good friends who stick together.
And Jiang Zhan is the most popular one.
Qi Yu raised his hand, his knuckles gleaming coldly in the sunlight. His cold fingertips touched the corner of his eye. He twitched his lips but said nothing.
His gaze slowly fell behind Jiang Zhan.
Why doesn't she come?
Why did she allow these people to humiliate him?
Jiang Zhan's all-seeing eyes seemed to see through the person in front of him. He sneered, "You want to ask why His Highness doesn't come to support you? Oh, don't be silly, Master Qi. His Highness treats you like a pitiful little cat or dog. I advise you not to dream about things you shouldn't dream about, otherwise, next time it won't be so easy."
The boy's soft fingertips plucked the bell boredly.
The soft and beautiful eyebrows are slightly drooped.
"Qi Yu!" The moment the girl behind him screamed, Jiang Zhan calmly concealed the vicious look in his eyes.
Qi Yu stood in front of Pan Shu coldly and dignifiedly, looking at her distantly, "Your Highness."
The girl didn't notice the coldness in his voice. She only anxiously held his wrist, her voice tinged with tears, "Who hurt you? Does it hurt?"
Qi Yu pushed her away and said, "Stop pretending."
Fake kindness.
He clearly condoned those people to hurt him, humiliate him, and devalue him.
She held him high again.
Do you want him to depend on her and fall in love with her?
pity--
He would never love her.
"I was wrong." Qi Yu pinched the red mark at the corner of his eye with his fingertips. His cold face showed a hint of fragile beauty. "I am the descendant of a criminal, of humble status, but I still harbored inappropriate thoughts about His Highness. I won't do that again."
The girl's eyes turned red because of his words.
She widened her eyes slightly so that the tears wouldn't fall. "What are you talking about?"
Jiang Zhan reached out to support the girl's shaky body and said obediently, "Your Highness, Master Qi just had an argument with someone else. He was probably angry and said something he shouldn't have said. Your Highness, please don't blame Master Qi."
Zhong Yingying followed behind and sniffed silently.
Why is the taste of Biluochun so strong?
Qi Yu raised his eyes angrily and pointed at Jiang Zhan, "Do you want him or me?"
The boy blinked innocently.
Pan Shu rubbed her brows with a headache and said in a gentle tone, "This is a matter between the two of us, why involve others?"
Qi Yu was rarely stubborn, his mind full of Jiang Zhan's words of humiliation just now.
"Who do you want?"
His fingertips trembled slightly, and he lowered his eyes to hide his uneasiness.
Jiang Zhan also listened quietly to Ban Shu's answer.
The bright and handsome face was half hidden in the shadows, and the light of expectation in the eyes was swaying and flourishing.
Pan Shu was as indulgent as ever. "Since I took you out of jail, you should have known what I was thinking, Qi Yu."
Qi Yu raised his eyes and looked at her steadily, then extended his hand, "Then why don't you come and hug me?"
The girl threw herself into the arms of Qi Yu, who was tall and straight.
The elegant and refreshing scent of cedar hits you in the face.
Qi Yu's strong arms slowly tightened, with a hint of trepidation and tentativeness, "No one has ever firmly chosen me. Your Highness has chosen me, and you can never abandon me."
"good."
"Your Highness, I want to go back. The snow viewing banquet is boring."
"good."
"Your Highness, please have dinner with me tonight."
"good."
“…”
No matter what Qi Yu said, Pan Shu agreed without hesitation.
Only the young man was left standing in the pavilion, his hands clenched into fists, his beautifully and neatly trimmed nails making a few crescent shapes on his palms, and a faint smell of blood.
He raised his eyes woodenly.
His wet eyes, like a puppy abandoned by its owner, followed Panshu closely.
It was so hot that it seemed to burn a hole in Shu's body.
Pan Shu looked at him helplessly, "Jiang Ziqian, why are you staring at me?"
Jiang Zhan was slightly stunned, then curled his lips, "That's great, Your Highness remembered Ziqian's name."
The fire in the young man's eyes flickered out, and he lowered his head in bewilderment. "Your Highness, Ziqian has never had any friends in the capital, and he is not as talented and well-liked as Master Qi. Ziqian really envies him."
