Zhao Zhao was slightly stunned, his mind preoccupied with something, and he casually responded, "Okay."
Shi Qi smiled young, "Then I'll order someone to go down and prepare. By the way, does Zhao Zhao have any dietary restrictions?"
Zhao Zhao paused, thinking of keeping a low profile in someone else's house, and said, "I don't have any dietary restrictions."
Duan Yu chuckled behind him. Shi Qinian raised his eyes and said gently, "What's wrong?"
"Son of God, my prince has some dietary restrictions." Duan Yu didn't want Zhao Zhao to give in. She watched the Son of God grow up and didn't want him to suffer any injustice.
Shi Qinian understood, looked at Zhao Zhao, and chuckled, "There's no need to be so polite between you and me."
Zhao Zhao had a blank expression on his face. Duan Yu knew that he was embarrassed, so he said nothing more and followed the maid to the kitchen to give instructions.
For a moment, the atmosphere fell silent again. Both of them drank their tea absentmindedly. Shi Qinian kept observing the stone from the corner of his eye, his brows unconsciously furrowed. Zhao Zhao had come to him excitedly today, just for this matter...
He didn't like Na Yue, and his feelings for her were at most that of a comrade-in-arms who had gone on a mission together.
As for this Life Stone...
Shi Qinian had a complicated expression.
Zhao Zhao couldn't see his expression, nor did she know what he was thinking. After drinking tea for a long time, dinner was finally ready.
Shi Qinian had a gentle expression and carefully served food to Zhaozhao.
Zhao Zhao was out and about, so he wasn't as casual as he was in his own temple. He finished his meal quietly.
Putting down his bowl and chopsticks, Shi Qinian said reluctantly, "Are you leaving?"
The mission has not progressed. I don’t want to leave. Zhao Zhao:…
He was silent.
Shi Qinian didn't understand, so he just said, "Jun Si and the others will come to the Danying Temple tomorrow. You haven't seen each other for a long time. Why don't you get together tomorrow?"
"Um."
Shi Qinian smiled and asked, "Then, let's stay here today so we don't have to go back and forth tomorrow."
Zhao Zhao nodded. By some coincidence, this was exactly what he wanted.
Shi Qinian's eyes lit up with joy, and he couldn't wait to pull his hand, "Then let's go, where do you want to sleep tonight?"
It seemed that even if Zhaozhao wanted to live in his parents' bedroom, he would vacate it for her.
Zhao Zhao really didn't expect him to be so enthusiastic, so she asked tentatively, "Can I sleep with you?"
Shi Qinian's grip on his wrist suddenly tightened, and then quickly let go. He was very shy and his face flushed again, but fortunately Zhao Zhao couldn't see it.
He was nervous but excited. "Of course!"
He slowed down his pace, took Zhao Zhao's hand, and strolled in the garden of his temple. The moon was bright and the stars were sparse, and the whole journey was exceptionally quiet and beautiful.
At an inappropriate time, Shi Qinian suddenly thought of the red stone of life. He thought, how great it would be if Zhao Zhao was the one whose soul was 100% compatible with his.
Coming back to his senses, Shi Qinian suddenly stopped and widened his eyes, unable to believe the thought that suddenly popped up in his mind. Why did he think of Zhao Zhao? Obviously, they were both men.
It's ridiculous.
"Shi Qinian?" Zhao Zhao called out when she noticed that he had stopped.
When Shi Qinian heard his voice, he suddenly felt guilty, "What...what happened?"
His eyes were wandering, and he didn't dare to look Zhao Zhao in the eye, even though he couldn't see.
Zhao Zhao was puzzled and walked closer, "What's wrong with you?"
Shi Qinian took a big step back, unable to stop panicking.
"Wait, give me some time."
His face was now flushed red, and he looked flustered, completely unlike the gentle and calm Son of Time during the day.
Something suddenly flashed through his mind, and Shi Qinian suddenly understood what he was thinking.
He suddenly looked up, caught a glimpse of Zhao Zhao's face, and then hurriedly lowered his head. Shi Qinian thought, he was finished, finished.
While he was lost in thought, Zhao Zhao had already come to his side, standing very close. He raised his hand, precisely lifting Shi Qinian's chin, and with a condescending look, he asked, "There's something wrong with you."
Frowning, she raised her other hand and touched his face, "Your face is hot."
Smelling the herbal fragrance coming from Zhao Zhao's body, Shi Qinian's temperature suddenly rose. He raised his hand and put it on his shoulder, wanting to push him away but not wanting to.
Under the moonlight, their shadows were elongated.
Shi Qinian thought, he seemed.
I fell in love with Zhao Zhao, not the love between comrades-in-arms, but the true love between a man and a woman.
