Chapter 37
After dinner, Ye Lingchen sent Lu Yijin back to rest. The other groups of guests went for free activities. Lu Yijin bit his lip as he watched Ye Lingchen leave. Without him, Jing Jianchen would definitely find a way to take his Ye Chenchen out on a date.
"You like him." Edith looked at him straight in the eyes.
Lu Yijin's face immediately turned red after being hit in the heart. Edith came over and spread the tarot cards in his hand on the bed, "Want to draw a few?"
Lu Yijin looked at the tarot cards on the bed. He hesitated for a moment and reached out his hand. Edith said, "Think about the questions you want to ask."
Lu Yijin paused and then pulled out three cards. Edith sat across from him and flipped over the three cards one by one. "Emperor's Scepter, Tarot's Vision, and the Guidance of the Stars."
Lu Yijin looked at Edith nervously. Edith put the three cards in his hand together and said, "You will get what you want."
Lu Yijin looked at Edith in confusion, "No more?"
Edith, who has always been a loner, has turned and left. Lu Yijin sat on the bed thinking about the question just now. He asked a question about love. Does Edith mean that he and Ye Lingchen might be together?
Lu Yijin lay on the bed, staring at the top of the tent in a daze. Forget it, things will work out in the end. If it’s not straight, I’ll make it straight!
The other three groups of guests had already started strolling around after dinner. Gu Zheye and He Qingshui were strolling along the stream in the moonlight. He Qingshui slipped and came towards Gu Zheye. Gu Zheye gently helped him up and said, "Be careful, the pebbles on the shore are slippery."
"Thank you." He Qingshui thanked him softly.
The two of them walked along the stream, talking about some interesting things. Gu Zheye answered He Qingshui's questions in a disjointed manner. He even felt a little bored. He had seen through He Qingshui's little tricks a long time ago. He had at least 80 or 100 children who "accidentally" fell into his arms throughout the year.
Gu Zheye walked carelessly. He felt that getting what he wanted too easily was a bit boring. Compared with He Qingshui, he was more interested in Ye Lingchen and the round-eyed Lu Yijin, especially Ye Lingchen, who was so handsome and had a wild personality, but he was actually a 1.
Gu Zheye laughed. He was really tired of the cute and well-behaved type and wanted to change the taste to relieve his boredom. What's wrong with 1? He had never tried it before. Pressing a 1 under him, this feeling of conquest was more interesting. Moreover, he saw that Jing Jianchen was also interested in Ye Lingchen, and he actually broke the rules and chose to team up with Ye Lingchen.
"Brother Zheye, Brother Zheye."
Gu Zheye finally came back to his senses. "What? Sorry, I was just thinking about something. Can you say it again?"
"Should we go to the top of the hill and look at the stars?"
"It's getting late. I'll take you back early to rest."
"Okay." He Qingshui secretly clenched his fists, wondering whether Gu Zheye was interested in her.
Meng Zhanyang, who was not far away, saw the people who were walking back and asked, "Miss Qiao An, should we go back?"
"Whatever." Qiao An lifted her long hair and said, "Meng Zhanyang, what kind of partner do you like?"
"As for me, I like girls who are cute, beautiful, gentle, lovely and considerate!" Meng Zhanyang chattered.
Qiao An scoffed, "If you want to make a wish, go to the temple."
He looked Meng Zhanyang up and down, his eyes full of "you don't deserve it". He tutted, and Meng Zhanyang instantly exploded, "What do you mean?! I have good looks and a good figure, what's wrong with me?!"
"Indeed, you have both good looks and good brains, perfect." Qiao An praised politely.
Meng Zhanyang, who didn't listen carefully, thought he was being praised, and was so happy that he wanted to lift his chin to the sky.
"The program crew said there's a stargazing spot on the top of a hill. Do you want to go there?" Qiao An suggested.
"OK."
The two of them climbed all the way to the top of the hill. The hill in this park was only a few hundred meters high, so it took some effort to climb up.
"Qiao An, you said everyone is on a red and blue date, why did Brother Chen take Ye Lingchen to the top of the mountain?" Meng Zhanyang asked in confusion.
Qiao An was too lazy to explain to this stupid donkey, "Just like you, going up there and drinking the northwest wind with your mouth open."
It's so obvious and you're still asking questions. You're hopeless!
Qiao An's skirt got caught on a tree branch while walking on the road. He felt bad about his skirt which cost tens of thousands of dollars. He held up his phone and tried to untie it. Meng Zhanyang pulled it off for him and said, "That's it."
Qiao An's anger shot straight to the top of her head, "Meng Zhanyang, this dress of mine is Chanel!"
He hit Meng Zhanyang on the head with a big punch, "I'll teach you to be so fucking dirty, I'll teach you to be so fucking dirty!"
Meng Zhanyang was beaten so hard that he ran away in fear. "Isn't it just a skirt? I'll give you another one as compensation!"
Qiao An touched his torn skirt with a painful look on his face. His heart was bleeding because this was his favorite skirt.
Qiao An went down the mountain angrily, and Meng Zhanyang was still shouting behind her: "Hey, didn't you say you were going to the top of the mountain to watch the stars? Do you still want to watch?"
"I want to blow you into the stars right now!"
"Is it really that serious? Is it really that serious? I said I'd compensate you, but you're still so angry." Meng Zhanyang muttered.
[For example, my boyfriend pouted my YSL lipstick and I smacked him in the head!]
[The fact is that even among gays there are straight men, dog head~]
[Stop talking! My boyfriend uses my Facial Treatment Essence as body lotion. I really want to beat him to death!]
[Brother, you didn’t deserve the beating, hahaha~]
Ye Lingchen and Jing Jianchen were already sitting on the observation deck, enjoying the breeze and gazing at the stars. Ye Lingchen was still munching on potato chips, "Didn't you tell me to eat some?"
"If you keep talking, I'll confiscate it."
Ye Lingchen wisely chose to keep quiet. The two of them sat there silently gazing at the stars. "What's so special about these things? I used to be able to see them just by looking up at night."
Jing Jianchen raised his hand and turned off the two virtual screens, and their live broadcast split screens instantly went dark.
[No, why do you care about looking at the stars? ]
[Brother Chen, you don’t want to do anything bad, do you? ]
[I seriously suspect that Brother Chen has bad intentions.]
"The stars in our Dasheng were so beautiful back then, especially during the Mid-Autumn Festival. The moon was big and round, and the stars in the sky were especially bright." Ye Lingchen looked at the starry sky and recalled the past, his eyes full of longing.
Jing Jianchen thought it was just his paranoia coming back, "Can you tell me about our past?"
Ye Lingchen rolled his eyes. Since his tutor couldn’t remember anything now, could he just make up something?
"Let me tell you, you're always obedient to me. I can eat whatever I want. You even bring me candied haws and sweet-scented osmanthus cakes and all kinds of delicious food. How come you've lost your memory and your temper has become worse? If you hadn't lost your memory, you would definitely return my snacks to me."
Jing Jianchen chuckled. He had been waiting for him here for a long time.
"Since I'm your tutor, how can I possibly obey you in everything?"
"Because I am the most honorable prince!" Ye Lingchen said righteously.
Jing Jianchen poked his forehead. This little guy made up stories that were really well-reasoned and logical. "Do you think I believe it?"
Ye Lingchen covered his forehead and glared at Jing Jianchen, "I'm grown up now, stop poking my forehead."
"Okay." Jing Jianchen smiled indulgently, "Anything else?"
"That's a lot..." Ye Lingchen chattered to Jing Jianchen about the past.
Jing Jianchen listened to his description as if he had experienced it himself, but his reason told him that the Da Sheng Dynasty had never existed in history, and everything was just Ye Lingchen's imagination due to his injury.
Ye Lingchen was particularly excited when he mentioned the Da Sheng Dynasty, and kept talking about various things from his childhood. Jing Jianchen also heard the person who appeared most frequently in Ye Lingchen's mouth, his royal brother, the king of the Da Sheng Dynasty, who was both a father and a brother to Ye Lingchen.
Jing Jianchen couldn't help but feel sorry for Ye Lingchen. This character should be one that Ye Lingchen imagined to act as his father. What did Ye Lingchen's father do to him to make him feel so insecure?
As Ye Lingchen spoke, he leaned on Jing Jianchen's shoulder and narrowed his eyes. "Grandmaster, what do you think of my brother? If I die, will he be sad? He has so many brothers, will he forget about me?"
"No, you are your royal brother's only biological brother."
Ye Lingchen leaned on Jing Jianchen's shoulder and fell asleep in a short while. The wind on the top of the mountain was a little cold. Jing Jianchen put his coat on Ye Lingchen. He could feel the warmth of Ye Lingchen through his shirt.
Jing Jianchen could see those pink thin lips and his Adam's apple rolling just by lowering his head slightly. He could kiss them as long as he lowered his head a little. Jing Jianchen sighed, reached out and gently stroked Ye Lingchen's face. The person who was disturbed from sleeping frowned unhappily.
Jing Jianchen didn't dare to move anymore. He waited until the brows of the person leaning on his shoulder relaxed, then he gently pressed on the thin lips that were slightly pursed. It was just as soft as he imagined, and felt like a soft rose petal.
Just as he was lost in thought, his phone rang. It was the production team calling, "Teacher Jing, where are you now?"
After Jing Jianchen and his friend turned off their split-screen live broadcast, the two of them did not come down for a long time. The program crew was worried about their safety, so they called to inquire.
"At the top of the mountain, coming down soon."
"Okay, Mr. Jing, you two should be careful."
The staff member hung up the phone and turned to Lu Yijin who was standing beside him and said, "It's okay, Teacher Jing and the others will be back soon."
Lu Yijin nodded and went back to his tent. He sat outside the tent in the breeze for a long time. All the other guests had returned, but there was still no sign of Ye Lingchen and the other person. Unable to bear it any longer, Lu Yijin asked the staff to make a phone call, fearing that Jing Jianchen had abducted his Ye Chenchen.
Jing Jianchen had originally planned to stay on the mountain for a while before returning. Ye Lingchen was also woken up at this moment. He opened his eyes drowsily and asked, "What's wrong?"
"We should go back." Jing Jianchen said softly.
"But I'm so sleepy~" Ye Lingchen lay on Jing Jianchen's neck and acted coquettishly.
"I'll carry you down."
Ye Lingchen nodded, "Then be careful not to fall on me."
"I know, you're so delicate." Jing Jianchen carried the person down the mountain steadily. Ye Lingchen on his shoulder closed his eyes again, and his warm breath fanned his cheek.
Along the way, the grass was filled with the chirping of various insects. He carried the person all the way to the foot of the mountain before waking him up, "Ye Lingchen, we're here. Let's go back to the tent and sleep."
"Master, can't you just carry me to the bed?" Ye Lingchen said in a muffled voice.
"Do you still want your prince's face?"
"Yes." Ye Lingchen slid down Jing Jianchen's back.
