Chapter 41 Returning home, misunderstandings resolved, straight confession
Xia Yanjing's heart was filled with excitement. This was the first time Shengxia took the initiative to hold his hand. There were so many people around, so he had to stay calm.
After the usual greetings, Shengxia suggested that she and Xia Yanjing go for a stroll in his yard. Mainly, Shengxia wanted Xia Yanjing to find his sweetheart as soon as possible, although he was a little reluctant in his heart.
Of course Xia Zhiyong would not refuse, and watched the two leave with a smile.
"How's the food preparation going? Ask the kitchen staff to use their traditional cooking skills." After seeing the two leave, Xia Zhiyong looked at Fang Yu and said.
"It's almost ready, don't worry, sir. Today's dishes are all the freshest. You know our chef's cooking skills. Although they are not as good as the royal chef's, they are also impeccable." Fang Yu replied with a smile.
"That's fine. Nothing can go wrong. We'll have to count on Shengxia to arrange more chores for our family in the future."
"I understand, but I wonder if General Sheng can help Yang'er find a job."
"Yang'er is preparing for the imperial examination right now, so there's no rush for this matter." Xia Zhiyong has a long-term vision. His eldest son is a good student, so he thinks he can let Xia Yang have a try first.
"Yes, sir." Fang Yu listened to Xia Zhiyong's words. Although he was a little dissatisfied, he had no choice but to obey.
"Shi Tou, I'm back. I've missed you so much after not seeing you for a few days." Xia Yanjing said happily as he entered the courtyard. He missed Shi Tou so much after being separated from him for a few days.
Shengxia frowned in confusion. Xia Yanjing was being too blatant. Although he knew the inside story, this was really a slap in the face for him.
Shengxia had a serious face and a frown on his face as he followed Xia Yanjing's steps. He wanted to see what kind of guy made him so fascinated.
Xia Yanjing turned around and pulled Shengxia to his room. Shengxia didn't understand why Xia Yanjing wanted to see his sweetheart, but he wanted to hold his hand. Wouldn't this cause his sweetheart to misunderstand?
"Young Master, you're back." Shi Tou excitedly lay on the bed and looked at Xia Yanjing from afar.
"Shi Tou, let me introduce you. This is Sheng Xia. You can just call her the head of the family from now on." Xia Yanjing pulled Sheng Xia over and introduced her.
Shengxia's first reaction when she saw Shitou when she entered the room was that Shitou was just average looking. He must have some special advantages.
After Xia Yanjing pulled Shengxia closer to Shitou, Shengxia was shocked to find that Shitou was actually a man. No, there must be something wrong. Could it be that Shitou was also disguised like he did at the beginning?
"Master, I am the young master's personal servant. Please give me your orders from now on." Shi Tou shouted immediately after hearing Xia Yanjing's words without any hesitation.
"Are you a man?" Shengxia didn't know why he asked this question subconsciously, and after asking it, she felt that it was inappropriate.
Shi Tou and Xia Yanjing were also confused by Sheng Xia's questions. They looked at each other. Does Shi Tou look like a boy?
"Yes, master, is there any problem?" Although Shitou didn't understand this question, since the master asked, he had to answer truthfully.
Sheng Xia was also a little confused. He pulled Xia Yanjing aside and walked out the door, then asked a little embarrassedly, "Do you like men?"
Xia Yanjing saw Shengxia pulling him out mysteriously, and then asked this question. Although he didn't care about men and boys, the person he liked was a boy, so he only liked boys and not men.
"No, I like my brother." Xia Yanjing answered honestly.
"Is that stone a man in disguise?" Shengxia looked eager to learn.
"No, he is a man." Xia Yanjing was confused for a moment.
"Didn't you say before that he was a very important person in your life? Don't you like stones?" Shengxia asked the question, no matter what the result was.
"What?" Xia Yanjing shouted in shock. Could it be that Shengxia had always thought that he liked stones, so she only slept in a separate bed from him after they had been married for many days?
"Keep your voice down." Sheng Xia hurriedly stopped Xia Yanjing's loud voice of surprise. Logically speaking, shouldn't he be the one who was surprised?
Xia Yanjing covered his mouth and then nodded at Shengxia.
"Did I say something wrong?" Shengxia was a little confused.
"Wrong, totally wrong. We grew up together and I only treat him as my younger brother. Besides, I already have a brother I like." Xia Yanjing replied in a low voice, and then looked at Shengxia embarrassedly. The hint was very obvious.
"Whose boy is he?" Shengxia's anger subsided and then she was blocked again.
Xia Yanjing looked at Shengxia helplessly. Wasn't his expression obvious? Isn't it said that the ancients were very reserved? It seems that he can't beat around the bush anymore, otherwise he won't know what Shengxia is thinking.
At this time, Shengxia had already imagined a bloody plot in her mind: a bastard's son falls in love with the eldest son of a wealthy family.
"Far away and yet close at hand, Shengxia, I like you. From the day you returned to the capital, I fell in love with you at first sight on the street. I only want to pursue a lifelong partner in my life." After Xia Yanjing finished speaking, he looked straight at Shengxia.
"Are you kidding?" Shengxia felt inexplicably happy when he heard this. He was inexplicably moved when he heard Xia Yanjing say that they would be together for the rest of their lives, but he didn't dare to believe it.
"I'm serious. Can you feel it? It's beating wildly for you." Xia Yanjing held Shengxia's hand close to his heart.
Shengxia withdrew her hand as if burned, and said unconfidently, "I am not a gentle and virtuous man, and my appearance has been ruined. Don't lie to me."
"I didn't lie to you, Shengxia, look at me, you are very good. In my eyes, you are the most handsome guy. No other guy can compare to you." Xia Yanjing held Shengxia's shoulders and said seriously.
"Are you serious?" Shengxia has always been treated as a fake man since he was a child. He couldn't believe that the story of falling in love at first sight, which was just like a playbook, would happen to him.
"Xia Xia, I know my sudden confession to you may scare you, but I won't force you to accept me. I will use my own way to make you like me. If you don't accept me in the end, as long as I can be by your side, even if we're not together, I'm willing to do that."
"I..." Shengxia's mind was in a mess at this time. He didn't know how to answer Xia Yanjing, but he knew that he was happy about Xia Yanjing's confession.
"Xia Xia, please don't hate me, please give me a chance." After Xia Yanjing said this, the fear in his heart suddenly surged up. He was afraid that Sheng Xia would sentence him to death.
"Okay." Shengxia thought a lot. He knew that he didn't hate Xia Yanjing, and he was not completely unfavorable to Xia Yanjing. Besides, their marriage was arranged by His Majesty, so what reason did he have to refuse?
"That's great, Xia Xia." Xia Yanjing hugged Sheng Xia subconsciously in excitement. Sheng Xia was so shocked by Xia Yanjing's unexpected hug that her body stiffened.
"I'm sorry, Xia Xia, I'm too excited." Xia Yanjing touched his head embarrassedly.
