Song Xuanhe rolled his eyes at him directly, his expression full of disdain, but his body honestly shrank to the other side of the bed, then raised his chin and said, "According to the law, only husbands and wives have the right to fulfill their obligations, but lovers do not. And the kind of interests you mentioned, can I harm them alone? It takes two to tango, and you need to reflect on yourself more."
After saying that, Song Xuanhe calmly shrank back into the quilt, revealing only his smooth forehead and eyes. His voice was a little muffled because of the quilt: "I'm tired, you go take a shower."
Xiao Yuanmu looked at him steadily for two seconds, then suddenly stepped forward, scaring Song Xuanhe so much that he grabbed the quilt and wanted to cover his head with it. He was mentally prepared to beat him like a sack so hard that even the dean wouldn't recognize him.
However, Xiao Yuanmu just rubbed his hair with his hands, then let him go and said, "The hair dryer is in the desk drawer, blow dry it before going to bed."
Song Xuanhe was slightly stunned. For a moment, he felt guilty for judging others by his own standards.
Just before he felt a little guilty about doubting other people's concern, Xiao Yuanmu said, "Don't get my pillowcase wet."
Hearing this, Song Xuanhe was not angry but relieved. If Xiao Yuanmu suddenly changed his personality, he would not be able to sleep tonight.
Xiao Yuanmu saw him stand up to open the drawer, his eyes swept over the corner of his shirt that was slightly lifted, paused at his fair and tight waist, his eyes dimmed, he picked up the clothes for changing, turned around and walked out the door.
After hearing Xiao Yuanmu leave, Song Xuanhe turned on the hair dryer to blow dry his hair. His hair was very short and had been dried a lot before, so it didn't take long for it to dry.
When putting the hair dryer back into the drawer, Song Xuanhe suddenly saw a jade pendant in the corner of the drawer. The jade was delicate and transparent, and it was obvious that it was not an ordinary item. He paused while closing the drawer, and noticed with his sharp eyes the word engraved on the jade pendant hidden in the half-light and half-darkness of the drawer - Xiao.
really.
Song Xuanhe paused for only a moment, then calmly closed the drawer, lay down, covered himself with the quilt, closed his eyes and prepared to fall asleep.
But the system was unwilling to let him sleep peacefully like this, it said: [The jade pendant just now is the jade pendant that every descendant of the Xiao family has when they are born, representing their identity! Xiao Yuanmu clearly knew about this jade pendant. Why did he say that his name was after a tree when Xiao Nan asked him about it last time? 】
Song Xuanhe closed his eyes without even a tremor in his eyelashes, showing no intention of responding at all.
The system continued: [Could it be that the boss already knew his life experience, but just didn’t want to be found by the Xiao family! 】
[Probably not.] 】The system asked and answered itself: [You humans all like wealth and glory, not to mention that they are Xiao Yuanmu’s biological parents. If he knew his identity, even if he didn’t come looking for him, he would at least investigate it. It is impossible for him to stay in the welfare home and do nothing. He probably doesn’t know his identity yet. 】
[It’s so noisy.] 】Song Xuanhe turned over and turned his back to the door: [Shut up, I want to sleep. 】
[Are you really not curious at all? 】The system said: 【If Xiao Yuanmu knew his own life experience, then no matter how you guide him, as long as he is unwilling to go, you will not be able to complete the task. 】
Song Xuanhe opened his eyes when he heard this and said coldly: [What's the point if Xiao Yuanmu doesn't want to recognize him? As long as the Xiao family wants to recognize him, he has no reason and right to refuse. 】
[You...] The system didn't expect Song Xuanhe to say this, and didn't know what to say for a moment. After a while, it said: [You mean, Xiao Yuanmu might really know his own life experience? 】
Song Xuanhe closed his eyes again and said nothing.
[Tell me!] 】The system squeezed out a rough voice, and Song Xuanhe's eyebrows jumped: [Brother...]
[I don’t know.] Song Xuanhe was afraid that the system would continue talking, so he interrupted it and said: [I can't read minds, so how can I know what Xiao Yuanmu is thinking? And even if he really knew that the jade pendant concealed his life experience, he would not think of going to the Xiao family. After all, the Xiao family is not a family of a poor boy in an orphanage that can know about it. 】
After systematically analyzing Song Xuanhe's words, he felt that he was right. Every world has its own rules, and different levels of each world have different rules, and the things that can be known are also different. The eight major families are legendary existences for ordinary wealthy families in this world. Even now, there is still controversy about which eight major families they are. Business magazines have different reports, and it is difficult to distinguish the truth from the false, not to mention Xiao Yuanmu.
Seeing that the system was fooled by his words, Song Xuanhe twitched the corners of his mouth covered by the quilt. He didn't know whether Xiao Yuanmu knew before that he was a member of the Xiao family, one of the eight major families, but after meeting Xiao Nan, Song Xuanhe was eighty percent sure that Xiao Yuanmu already knew his identity.
In his previous life, it should be said that in the book, before Xiao Yuanmu returned to the Xiao family, he had not met Xiao Nan, but this does not mean that he has not met other members of the Xiao family, nor does it mean that he has not inadvertently come into contact with the Xiao family. It is very likely that he already knew his own life experience long before the Xiao family's head and wife recognized him.
He clearly knew his identity but did not immediately seek out the Xiao family to claim his identity. There are three possibilities. One is that Xiao Yuanmu himself was unwilling or resistant to being found by the Xiao family. The second is that he had bigger plans, such as waiting until he was fully grown and then returning to the Xiao family with an absolutely strong attitude. As for the third possibility, it is that Xiao Yuanmu's mood is hard to tell, and his thoughts are even more difficult to guess. Maybe he was in a bad mood and was too lazy to look for him.
However, no matter which possibility it is, it further proves that Xiao Yuanmu's mind is unfathomable and he is extremely good at forbearance and planning.
The people he least wanted to deal with were those who were too thoughtful and willing to lie dormant. Song Xuanhe pulled the quilt down a little, put aside these thoughts and prepared to go to sleep. However, somehow, the expression on Xiao Yuanmu's face, as if he was possessed, when he saw the snake at night, came back to his mind.
Not only that, Xiao Yuanmu helped him cook, bought him porridge, and stood up straight even when the pain was unbearable... All kinds of scenes appeared in front of him. Before falling asleep, Song Xuanhe thought of a sentence -
The huge psychological trauma and the insecure growing environment make it understandable that he has deep thoughts.
When Xiao Yuanmu came in, he saw Song Xuanhe who was already asleep. He closed the door quietly, then gestured to the little puppy who was wagging its tail and about to run over when it saw him coming in, to sit down. Seeing that the little puppy stayed still obediently, he walked in quietly.
He did not sit down, but squatted beside the bed, looking at Song Xuanhe's face which still showed some youthfulness because of sleeping. His eyes gradually became deep. His index finger gently touched his curled eyelashes, and saw the eyelashes tremble. He then slowly moved to the bridge of his nose, and slid from top to bottom to the edge of his mouth, stroking his soft lips, and watching them turn from light pink to crimson.
It was not until the sleeping person shrank his head uncomfortably that he suddenly woke up. His eyes became clear again, but his hand did not move away. It was still soft under his fingertips. Xiao Yuanmu rubbed it twice again reluctantly before taking his hand away.
The image of Song Xuan and his cowardly appearance just now appeared in his mind. He chuckled in a hoarse voice: "So I really am..."
Xiao Yuanmu stood up before he finished speaking, lightly lifted the quilt and sat on the bed. After turning off the lights, he reached his hand into the quilt, warmed it up a little before grabbing Song Xuanhe's hand. One by one, his fingers squeezed into his fingers, and he curled the corners of his mouth when he felt the same warmth as on the path in the evening.
He only had two secrets, and no one knew these two secrets in his two lifetimes. But now, both secrets were discovered by Song Xuanhe. Both times when he was in the most embarrassing situation and least wanted to see other people, Song Xuanhe broke into the darkness where he was.
At first he just felt that he was in a mess and violent, and didn't want him to see his vulnerable side. But today, the moment he grabbed his hand and heard him say that he was there, he suddenly felt that maybe this was God's will.
It was God's will that allowed him to be reborn once again, it was God's will that allowed Song Xuanhe to see through his embarrassment, and it was God's will that allowed him to break into the light from this dark world. Now that there is light, if he does not seize it, he would be wasting God's gift.
The moment he thought of this, Xiao Yuanmu felt an unprecedented peace and satisfaction. That was something he had never pursued before, but now that he had it, he clenched his hands tightly and would never let go.
Song Xuanhe seemed to be sleeping uncomfortably. Her hand, which was interlocked with his, twitched a little. When it stopped twitching, she hummed. Not caring that she was still holding his hand, she turned over and faced away from him, leaving only her hand behind her, holding his.
Xiao Yuanmu did not let go of Song Xuanhe's hand. Instead, he grabbed the hand he was holding and put it forward, holding it around Song Xuanhe's waist, then pulled him back, and Song Xuanhe nestled in his arms.
The familiar smell of shower gel came, Xiao Yuanmu's eyes dimmed and his gaze fell on the back of his neck.
At this time, the heavy rain outside was still roaring, and not even much moonlight could penetrate the window. The room was very dark, but Xiao Yuanmu could clearly see Song Xuanhe's white and smooth skin through the lowered collar.
His Adam's apple moved, and he pressed it in for a kiss, but just touching it wasn't enough, and he couldn't help wanting to taste it, repeating this process over and over again until the person in his arms moved his head forward uncomfortably. He then let him go, took him back, and murmured, "One day..."
The sound was so soft that it was broken by the sound of rain outside and disappeared into the air.
Xiao Yuanmu sniffed the same faint fragrance of the person in his arms, tightened his arms in satisfaction, and before closing his eyes, he suddenly remembered the second time he saw Song Xuanhe. It was also in the welfare home. Song Xuanhe suddenly jumped on him, turned his head and kissed the corner of his mouth in front of the director, then jumped down guiltily.
At that time, he only felt a buzzing in his head, his heart was filled with disbelief, shame and shock made him unable to utter a word, his heart was beating so fast that it was about to jump out of his chest, and his back to neck was hot. At that time, he only thought that it was the anger caused by being ambushed, but ignored the throbbing at that moment.
That was a completely different beginning from the previous life. A different beginning led to a different ending. Since he was the one who caused the initial heartbeat, it was only natural that he should be responsible.
However, the Xiao family at this moment was still not suitable for him.
