Chapter 131 Confession
As soon as Jun Qiulan sent the message, Yan Jing replied to him.
"Awake so early?"
I didn't finish work until midnight last night, so it's only a little after seven in the morning.
Jun Qiulan replied: "I have something to do today. How about you? Aren't you up so early too?"
Yan Jing quickly replied, "Grandpa felt a little unwell last night and came to the hospital early this morning."
Jun Qiulan was shocked and looked at the time. It was still early.
He quickly replied to Yan Jing and asked for the address of the hospital.
Yan Jing told him not to go, that it was not a big problem and he would be discharged from the hospital tomorrow.
Grandpa Yan has always treated him like his own grandson.
Grandpa Yan was sick, so of course he had to go and see him.
Since Uncle Jin was talking about a dinner party, he had to go to Grandpa Yan's place no matter what.
Yan Jing couldn't persuade him and sent him the hospital address.
Jun Qiulan quickly took a taxi to the hospital.
Bought a fruit basket.
When visiting a patient, you can't go empty-handed.
When Jun Qiulan arrived at the ward, Grandpa Yan was lying on the bed and browsing his phone. When he saw Jun Qiulan, his eyes were filled with surprise, relief, and a bit of blame.
"Wei Xi didn't tell you, there's nothing wrong with me."
Jun Qiulan: "No problem, just have a good rest. The crew happened to be on holiday today, so I just came to see you and chat with you."
"Okay." Old Master Yan smiled. "I heard a few days ago that you requested a ton of salt. Did something happen with Mr. Yangeng?"
Jun Qiulan's heart tightened at first, but then he breathed a sigh of relief.
He asked Yan Jing to help him get a ton of salt, but he didn't tell Yan Jing the specific reason. However, Yan Jing probably couldn't hide the order of so much salt from the old man.
Maybe the old man was just asking out of curiosity.
"It's okay. I want to start a small business. Who knows, I might have to trouble you again in the future."
He answered vaguely.
Yan Huai nodded, thinking that something might have really happened over there.
He was considering whether to go back.
More than ten years have passed.
He also changed from a reckless young man to a white-haired old man. Look, he was just greedy last night and ate an ice cream before going to bed, and he had a stomachache in the middle of the night.
It's just a conflict in my heart.
He didn't know what the situation was like in the town he had escaped from.
I don’t know if there are any descendants of the Yan family in the local area who can help him get an ID card.
Otherwise, he would not be able to move forward.
Although the ancient world was backward, if you really wanted to travel far away, you had to have a travel permit, otherwise you would not be able to enter other cities.
Once caught, you become a refugee.
That is to say, this time travel has limitations. You will end up in the same place where you traveled last time when you return next time.
As he got older, he no longer had much energy to participate in court affairs.
I just want to go back and visit the graves of my parents and relatives, and kowtow three times in front of their graves in person.
If he doesn't have a member of the Yan family, can he ask Jun Qiulan to help him get a suitable identity? Since he is a member of the royal family, he also has this opportunity.
Even if something bad happened, I have been in this world for so long, so life over there shouldn't be too difficult.
He looked at Jun Qiulan for a while, but still couldn't ask.
Jun Qiulan was a little confused. He could see that Grandpa Yan had something to say to him, but he didn't know why he didn't say it.
Yan Jing, who was guarding nearby, also noticed it.
He always felt that the grandfather and grandson were the ones who were really hiding something from him. Could it be that because he was here, his grandfather couldn't say it out loud?
What is the secret?
Yan Jing was becoming more and more curious.
Jun Qiulan chatted with the old man for a while and learned that the old man had a stomachache due to overeating. For a moment, he felt helpless and amused.
Why is he just like his Master Qingheng?
I don’t know what happened to Master Qingheng’s identity information.
The situation now is becoming increasingly critical.
If he could get his family's identities sorted out sooner, he would feel more at ease.
Besides, after finishing things here, he still has to go to the capital to send General Huo’s family to the modern world.
By then, someone will need to pick him up and take care of him in the modern world, so he can feel more at ease while he is rushing back to the border town.
What if they become interested in this new world and go out into the streets without anyone watching over them? Wouldn’t that be the end of them?
There still needs to be someone to pick up and take care of it.
At noon, Jun Qiulan accompanied the old man to eat a light stomach-nourishing meal.
Seeing that the time was almost up, he prepared to say goodbye.
Unexpectedly, Yan Jing stopped him before he even left the ward.
"Come with me to a place." Yan Jing didn't even ask him if he had time.
Jun Qiulan was surprised: "Didn't we just say in the group that we have a holiday this afternoon too?"
It's raining heavily outside.
In this situation, it is impossible to start shooting.
Yan Jing smiled: "Didn't Grandpa just ask you if you were okay today? You said you were fine."
Jun Qiulan choked up a bit: "A little later, I have something very important to do, I have to go."
Yan Jing gave him a push and said, "Don't worry, it won't waste time."
Jun Qiulan then followed him into the car, "Don't you need to take care of Grandpa Yan?"
Yan Jing explained: "Sister-in-law and grandma will be here soon, and there are nurses here, don't worry."
Jun Qiulan nodded at this, but he didn't expect that Yan Jing's car went all the way to the next province.
It’s very close, just over half an hour by highway.
"Where is this going?"
It's raining so hard, where do you have to take him today?
Yan Jing: "I'm taking you to see a jade carving master. Why are you so nervous? I can't just sell you off."
Jun Qiulan was still surprised: "Jade carving master?"
Yan Jing: "Your long hair, when I see you, you always just tie it up with a rubber band. You never used the jade hairpin I gave you during the Chinese New Year. I'll bring you a few custom-made ones. Choose the pattern you like. Don't worry about it breaking. If it breaks, you can come back and order more."
Jun Qiulan: "Oh."
Obviously, I didn't expect this to be the reason.
In ancient times, jade hairpins or hair crowns were often used to tie up hair.
But in fact, they are not very solid.
It is precisely because of this that they need to maintain a correct posture at all times. If their movements are too large, their hair will easily become loose, making them look very inappropriate.
Later, I discovered some super easy-to-use rubber bands here, and of course, rubber bands are comfortable to use.
According to his personal habit, he usually wears his hair in a Taoist hairstyle or a high ponytail.
It is very sturdy and you don’t have to worry about it getting loose while running or dancing.
Hairpin...
Jun Qiulan turned his head to look at Yan Jing.
He discovered that Grandpa Yan was particularly knowledgeable about ancient culture, and even gave courtesy names to Yan Jing and Yan Jing's cousin. Yan Jing grew up living with Grandpa Yan.
Then, Yan Jing must have been influenced by ancient culture, and it is impossible for her not to know what it means to give a man a hairpin.
Besides, Yan Jing himself is very knowledgeable.
Yan Jing felt his gaze: "I'm driving, don't look at me like that, it's easy to have an accident."
Jun Qiulan turned his head speechlessly.
Unexpectedly, Yan Jing's words came true.
The jade carving master lives on the hillside in the neighboring province and is considered a reclusive master.
Yan Jing said that it was his grandfather who introduced him to him.
Including the hairpins and jade pendants in Jun Qiulan's play, all jade carvings are from the hand of this master.
However, the hairpins and jade pendants in the movie are all rather ornate and not suitable for everyday use.
Today we are going to customize a few simple patterns that won’t look out of place when worn daily.
Yan Jing didn't expect that his car worth millions would suddenly break down halfway up the mountain.
Jun Qiulan: "...Can we still leave?"
Yan Jing: "I'm afraid not. Can you repair cars? Or can I repair cars?"
How could Jun Qiulan possibly repair a car?
He had just calculated the time. He was going to order a custom jade carving, but he didn't expect to get the finished product today. It would be enough to just select a few patterns.
That wouldn't take much time, and he could drive back later. On a rainy day, even if it was an hour's drive, he would have enough time to go home, change clothes, and go into the city.
Uncle Jin had bad intentions to begin with, so it didn't matter if he was a little late, but he couldn't not go.
The car is now parked halfway up the mountain.
It’s raining so hard that there’s no village in sight and no shop behind.
Jun Qiulan was really anxious. He couldn't possibly travel through time in Yan Jing's car, right?
Wouldn’t Yan Jing be scared to death by then?
Apart from his family, in modern times, only Sister Yue has some understanding of his origins, but he has never traveled through time in front of Sister Yue.
Not to mention, Yan Jing had no idea where he came from.
Could it be that I have to explain everything to Yan Jing now?
It's a rainy day, foggy, and deep in the mountains and forests. If he keeps saying that he is a time traveler, doesn't it sound like a ghost story?
Yan Jing could see that he was anxious, and couldn't help but feel a little guilty. "I just called the rescue team, but the rain is too heavy. I told them there was a major accident over there, and they can't get over now. We have to wait."
It's a small place and rescue conditions are limited.
It will probably take several hours to wait for the rescue team or the people from the 4S shop to arrive.
Yan Jing suddenly thought: "There is a farmhouse not far up here. The mountain road in a rainstorm is not suitable for staying in the car for a long time. Let's go to the farmhouse first, and then I will contact the helicopter."
We can't delay Jun Qiulan's affairs.
Fortunately, the car broke down on the side of the road, otherwise it would be even more troublesome if it was stuck in the middle of the road.
Jun Qiulan also knew that this was just an accident and Yan Jing could not be blamed.
What kind of place is a farm stay?
The two of them walked in holding umbrellas, and Jun Qiulan realized that the farm stay was a leisure place that combined entertainment, accommodation and dining.
Now that's easy.
Since rescue would take several hours, why not just go back from his room at the farmhouse and come back after finishing his business?
As for how to explain to Yan Jing...
Well, he didn't sleep last night and wanted to get some sleep.
The owner of the farm house was very welcoming and took them to their room.
It is a family room with two bedrooms and a living room.
Although Jun Qiulan now prefers a one-room hotel room, she has no choice now.
The proprietress said: "This rain won't stop for a while. If you want to eat tonight, just call the guest room. Home-cooked dishes are available."
"Okay, thank you for your help." Yan Jing closed the door and started contacting the helicopter again.
I just feel helpless.
The rain is too heavy, it is not safe to take a helicopter up the mountain, and there is no place for the helicopter to land in this farmhouse.
Yan Jing was rarely a little anxious. He originally thought that he was free today, so he went out for a walk with Jun Qiulan alone. It was actually quite romantic on a rainy day.
It can also be considered as cultivating feelings.
In addition to coming to customize the jade hairpin, Yan Jing actually wanted to ask Jun Qiulan what she thought, or whether she had any concerns about their relationship.
He could feel that Jun Qiulan's gaze on him was gentle and affectionate.
We are all adults, there is no need to drag it out.
But I didn't expect such an accident to happen, and it also delayed Jun Qiulan's business.
He said sheepishly, "Do I have to go for today's event?"
Jun Qiulan hesitated for a moment and said, "It's okay. I'll talk to the teacher."
It was still early, and he couldn't say he was going to bed now. What if Yan Jing called him for dinner just as he left?
Isn't this the end of the matter?
He said, "The situation is special. I'll change it to another day. Judging from the weather, it will probably rain tomorrow. Director Yan, please give me a day off tomorrow."
His tone was relaxed, and Yan Jing also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Don't worry, I, the director, am still stuck in the mountains and can't start work." He also made a joke.
The rain was pouring outside the window, and the two looked at each other.
At the same time, he looked away.
Yan Jing: "Chat for a while?"
There were tea bags commonly found in hotels in the room. Yan Jing didn't mind since he had just been caught in the rain, so he made two cups of hot tea.
"Drink something hot first, don't catch a cold."
Although I came here with an umbrella, the rain was so heavy that I couldn't help but get wet, and half of my coat was wet.
Fortunately, there was air conditioning in the room. Jun Qiulan took off her coat and hung it up. She held the hot tea brewed by Yan Jing, took a sip, and her whole body felt warm.
This drop in temperature came suddenly.
Yan Jing sat opposite Jun Qiulan, watching him holding the teacup like a little hamster, and tenderness flowed under his eagle eyes.
He said, “Can I ask you what you think of me?”
He asked implicitly, but Jun Qiulan understood.
Jun Qiulan pursed his lips. In fact, he couldn't answer such a question.
This was the first time in his twenty years of life that someone attracted him so much.
Handsome, tall, wise, a genius in a certain field, humble and polite, these are all labels that can be attached to Yan Jing.
But what really attracted Jun Qiulan was not these.
It is the tenderness hidden in the details and the upbringing engraved in the bones.
He has been in this world for more than a year and has seen too many things that have left him dumbfounded, and has also met all kinds of people.
No matter how much he understands and accepts this modern and advanced world, he is still a man who grew up in ancient feudal dogma.
In the words of netizens, he may be a feudal remnant.
Therefore, he cannot accept anyone who shows kindness to him, regardless of whether they are men or women.
Even Yan Jing kept a certain distance at the beginning.
But Yan Jing's gentleness was like running water, and by the time he realized what was happening, his body had already been soaked through.
To be honest, Jun Qiulan also wants to spend some time with such an outstanding person.
No matter what the future holds for them, at least start first.
But how would he explain his origins?
Can Yan Jing really accept a feudal remnant from another world?
Even in the future, is it possible to take Yan Jing to see his world?
There are too many uncertainties here.
Yan Jing looked at his tangled eyes and smiled slightly: "Don't know how to answer? Then don't say it, just listen to me."
Jun Qiulan raised her eyes and saw the emotion in Yan Jing's eyes, which was also tinged with desire.
He was instinctively a little scared.
It was as if the neck had been grabbed by a wild beast.
Yan Jing leaned forward slightly and wrapped his hands around Jun Qiulan's hand holding the teacup.
Jun Qiulan felt that her palms were burning hot, but Yan Jing's hand on the back of her hand was cold and trembling a little.
It seems that the person in front of him is not as calm as he appears.
Yan Jing said, "I like you. I think you've noticed. I used to think I might be asexual, but after meeting you, I realized I might be asexual? Or sapiosexual? Or even gay."
In short, no matter what kind of love it is, the only love is for this little Taoist priest in front of him who is full of secrets.
He continued, "I don't know what you're struggling with, but it doesn't matter. I don't want to dwell on it anymore, and I'm not someone who dwells on it. Ultimately, I want to tell you clearly that my feelings are as bright as the moon."
Jun Qiulan was burned by his scorching gaze.
But Yan Jing didn't let him go. "I can wait for you to tell me your secret. Am I right in guessing that the reason you can't accept me is because of your secret?"
Jun Qiulan nodded slightly and wanted to explain, but didn't know where to start.
Yan Jing curved his eyes and said, "I just said it. If you don't want to talk about it, it doesn't matter. I will wait for the day when you are ready to accept me. Okay?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Jun Qiulan sneezed.
This really ruins the atmosphere.
How could someone suddenly sneeze when someone is confessing their love?
Jun Qiulan's face turned red almost instantly.
Yan Jing also sneezed, "Okay, no need to be embarrassed now."
However, it seems a bit strange to continue talking about the topic just now.
After all, he has made his intentions clear.
Jun Qiulan also needs some time to adapt.
He stood up and found a bathrobe from the closet: "Do you want to take a hot bath? Don't catch a cold."
Jun Qiulan nodded, took the bathrobe and went back to the room.
In fact, his mind is in a mess.
Don't look at how calm he was just now, but in his twenty years of life, this was the first time someone had expressed their love so directly and solemnly in front of him.
It felt like something was about to jump out of my chest.
Bang bang bang, my ears were shocked.
Jun Qiulan took a shower and Yan Jing also went back to his room to take a shower.
The two of them were wearing bathrobes, which seemed to make things even stranger.
What were they doing up the mountain?
Are you here to order a lily hairpin?
The current scene looks like they are having a secret affair in this rainy weather.
Yan Jing was such a smart man that he brought up the topic directly and diverted Jun Qiulan's thoughts.
"In your last scene, I want you to die in the play. How do you feel about that?"
Jun Qiulan continued the conversation: "The dead one is the white moonlight?"
Yan Jing couldn't help laughing: "Read less novels."
Jun Qiulan was not willing to be outdone: "You should read more novels. You are almost out of touch with the times."
It was because Liu Yue had read so many novels that he was able to discover from some minor details that he was an ancient person who had traveled through time.
He spent quite a bit of time with Yan Jing, but Yan Jing didn't notice at all.
Fortunately, Yan Jing is a very thoughtful director.
The two of them exchanged a few jokes and the atmosphere was no longer awkward.
After chatting for a while about the arrangement of the final plot, Jun Qiulan saw that the time was almost up and yawned.
"Are you sleepy?"
Jun Qiulan nodded: "I didn't sleep well last night. This rain won't stop for a while. I'm going to go inside to rest for a while. Do you want to sleep too?"
Yan Jing thought, this is fine.
Since Jun Qiulan is not in a hurry to do his own things, they are not in a hurry to go down the mountain.
It's rare to have time for the two of us.
When they wake up, they can have dinner together on a rainy night and talk about poetry, songs and philosophy of life.
The beads on his abacus clattered loudly.
At this time, Jun Qiulan sneezed again, as if she had caught a cold.
Yan Jing hurriedly urged, "Hurry up and go to sleep."
Jun Qiulan nodded: "Don't call me for dinner, I'm in a bad mood when I wake up."
Yan Jing was overjoyed. He really didn't realize that this person was in a bad mood when waking up.
It’s quite cute when you think about it.
Jun Qiulan returned to her room and closed the door, only to find that the door could not be locked.
It can't even be closed very tightly because the lock core is broken and a gust of wind might blow the door open.
Jun Qiulan was starting to go bald, and he turned around and saw the bedside table.
That's all we can do.
The solid wood bedside table was against the door, tightly secured.
Jun Qiulan did not take it lightly and checked first to see if there were any hidden pinhole cameras in the room.
After making sure it was safe, he turned around and went back to ancient times.
Quick dressing.
It didn't rain here in ancient times, and the afternoon sun shone on my body, making it quite warm.
Jun Qiulan did not waste any more time. The little donkey at home was still there, so he simply rode it into the city.
The house that Huo Lian arranged for Jin Guojiu was not far from the general's mansion.
When they arrived at the place, the doorman was Huo Lan's man, and he whispered a few words to him.
"Comrade Jun, don't worry. We have our own brothers in the Timely Number inside. They will definitely keep you safe."
Jun Qiulan nodded: "Thank you everyone."
I hope there won't be a direct conflict.
For the greater cause, some people will be sacrificed, and he is prepared for that, but he does not want anyone to sacrifice themselves to protect him.
In short, he has his own way to save his life.
The banquet hall was full of lights and wine.
Although the protagonist Jun Qiulan didn't show up, Jin Guojiu had already started drinking with a group of people.
I don't know where he got a group of good-looking girls and waiters to serve him.
The weather has turned colder, so I just put on a layer of semi-transparent gauze clothes.
Jun Qiulan's first reaction was obscene.
It was even more lewd than the dancing scene he had performed before.
It seems that the movie is still not realistic enough.
Jun Qiulan smiled and walked in. Mr. Su was also there, sitting at the lower level with his eyes closed, as if he couldn't bear to look at such a scene.
"Master Jin, long time no see."
Uncle Jin sat in the main seat, looking at Jun Qiulan with disdain.
A servant nearby said, "How dare this unruly person refuse to kneel and pay respects to the emperor when he sees the emperor's uncle."
Su Changxun also opened his eyes at this time: "Where did this fox come from? The uncle of the emperor hasn't spoken yet, so how can you say anything?"
Judging from his tone, it seems that his freedom has only been restricted and he has not suffered any hardship yet.
Well... as for the mental suffering, that's not necessarily the case.
Su Changxun is also an upright gentleman. How could he bear to see such a scene?
Jun Qiulan said, "Master Jin, I don't think you asked me to come here just to watch me kowtow to you."
Jin Guojiu laughed heartily. "I heard that your family is living in poverty in the border town. I am here to give you some money. It depends on whether you dare to earn this money, Your Highness."
