The cloud boat slowly started moving.
The three bid farewell to Dragon Island, which was half peaceful and tranquil and half engulfed in war, and continued sailing northeast.
Looking at the black-clad man still standing absentmindedly by the porthole, Yun Wei sighed silently in his heart.
Actually, when Isaac told him that Al liked him that day, he had already mentioned that Richard liked Xie Mulang, but he was in a state of shock at the time and automatically ignored the second half of the message.
It wasn't until Isaac brought it up again last night that he noticed it was indeed as his follower had said.
The way the silver dragon looked at Brother Xie seemed a bit off.
Yun Wei was a little embarrassed at the time.
Why did Isaac see it all, while he remained completely oblivious?
The other person replied, "If someone ever covets me, you'll definitely be able to tell."
Yun Wei immediately blushed and couldn't help but pinch Isaac's waist hard.
Although it's a bit convoluted, the gist is that Richard once coveted him, but later shifted his target.
Yun Wei really wanted to explain himself.
He understood Richard's feelings perfectly; it wasn't covetousness, but rather a mutual respect...
But the knight became jealous again and kissed him so passionately that he was dizzy and weak in the knees, without letting him finish speaking.
However, looking at it now, Brother Xie...
She seemed to have some interest in Richard as well.
He really wanted to kowtow.
After all, eating everything will only make his nutrition more balanced.
But he was also afraid that he would end up with a mouthful of glass shards.
After all, these two are different from the Duke and Duchess of Bethlehem. Those two progressed rapidly, with their relationship and marriage advancing in tandem. He could only end up with exhaust fumes in his face trying to catch up.
Yun Wei couldn't help but feel a little troubled, especially when he heard a faint sigh coming from the porthole for the seventy-first time.
What should you do if one of you is flirtatious and the other is reserved, and neither of you takes the initiative?
After thinking for a moment, he finally closed the book in his hand and put it away in his spatial storage.
Yun Wei cleared his throat, looked at the man in black by the window, and asked bluntly, "Brother Xie, do you like Richard?"
Xie Mulang, who was lost in thought, was startled by these words.
"W-what do you mean..." His eyes flickered, and he stammered, "Mr. Long and I are brothers who have risked our lives together."
“Yes, the same goes for us.” Yun Wei nodded and said, “You saved my life and Isa’s life outside Moonflower City. I will remember this kindness for the rest of my life.”
Xie Mulang said, "No, it's not the same either..."
Yun Wei pressed closer, feigning ignorance, and asked in confusion, "Hmm?"
"It's nothing. It's just a trivial matter, not worth mentioning."
Xie Mulang waved his hand, instinctively wanting to refute, but then suddenly fell silent.
Yun Wei had seen all of the other party's reactions; there was nothing he didn't understand.
He thought that perhaps the feelings between the two people were much deeper than he had guessed.
He originally thought it was still in its nascent stage, but now he felt that Xie had already fallen deeply in love with Richard.
This left him scratching his head in bewilderment, as he had absolutely no idea what had happened between the two of them.
I was really curious.
He remained calm and said, "By the way, Brother Xie, there's something you might not know. It was that night, earlier at the academy..."
So he succinctly explained how Richard, representing the Dragon Clan, had renewed the contract with Isaac.
The agreement included waking Lorenz from his coma.
Of course, he deliberately omitted the five-year timeframe.
He spoke very vaguely, as if the thunder dragon that had fallen into a deep sleep was about to wake up.
Just then, Yun Wei belatedly realized that something was amiss.
Because it seems...
He seemed to have inadvertently revealed his identity as a descendant of the Isaac Temubranchi family.
This could cause Isaac unnecessary trouble.
Just as he was about to think of a way to make amends, he looked at Xie Mulang, only to be startled by the anxious and uncertain look on the other's face.
In his memory, Xie Mulang was a dignified gentleman and a handsome young man.
With its deep pools and towering peaks, its jade-like beauty and autumn frost resemble a dashing figure who has stepped out of a painting.
But at this moment, the other party had a gloomy face, thin lips pressed tightly together, and eyes as sharp as a hawk's, wide open in anger, yet unable to conceal the panic and helplessness within.
Yun Wei noticed that Xie Mulang's slightly curled fingers had lost their color from the force, appearing pale and menacing, almost as if they were about to break.
He couldn't help but sigh, immediately putting away his joking thoughts and solemnly apologizing to the other party.
After frankly explaining the five-year deadline and the current lack of progress, Yun Wei earnestly advised:
"Brother Xie, matters of the heart should never be judged by common sense, and especially should not be decided by fighting and winning."
Some people seem to be full of confidence and self-satisfaction, but unexpectedly end up losing everything.
Some people seem to have reached a dead end, but unexpectedly, things take a turn for the better and a brighter future awaits them.
Along the way, Yunwei has seen too many examples.
Even he and Isaac went through many hardships before finally managing to get married.
His Issa is stupid; he always treats love like a battle.
Fortunately, he had fallen hopelessly in love with the other person from the very beginning and was willing to indulge him; otherwise, he might have been so angry with Isaac that he would have been trembling and his limbs would have been ice cold.
He bit his lower lip and continued with difficulty, "And sometimes, once you miss it... you really might never be able to go back."
Yun Wei did not want to hurt the other party.
But he had to give Xie Mulang a serious reminder.
To be honest, Richard's conditions are quite excellent, and after he told them his story with unusual frankness last night, Yun Wei had a vague feeling.
The other party has already undergone a transformation without anyone noticing.
Like a butterfly that has just emerged from its cocoon, its wings are still delicate, but once it spreads its wings in the sunlight, no one can stop it from soaring freely.
He found it difficult to describe precisely; the feeling was like—
The other person's current gentle demeanor is merely a facade, stemming from their affection.
Once that feeling fades and the other person regains their dignity and courage, even if the unrequited love is right in front of them, they will discard it like trash.
However, he didn't know that as soon as he mentioned "victory or defeat," Xie Mulang's heart skipped a beat.
Xie Mulang became increasingly panicked as he listened.
He vaguely remembered that just last night, he had been aggressively drinking with Richard, and this morning he seemed to have mocked Richard for not being a good drinker...
Then he remembered that he used to play "Four-Army Chess" with the other person, and he always managed to crush them completely.
And during that sparring session, he showed no mercy by pinning his opponent down...
Oh wow.
At the time, he just thought it was funny how Mr. Long looked so unconvinced after losing.
Those silver eyes sparkled, like burning ice, beautiful and mysterious.
Thinking of this, Xie Mulang suddenly felt a lot of regret, so much so that he wanted to go back in time and give himself a good beating.
Then he heard the knowledgeable Brother Yun start talking about "missing out".
His mind immediately went blank, as if it had gone completely blank.
The more he thought about it, the more his heart ached, and even his eyes felt like they were filled with sand, and tears were about to well up in them.
Could he really have missed out on Mr. Long?!
