After the woman claimed the body, Qi Yan's condition seemed to improve a little. He laughed and chatted with everyone. Although everyone usually made fun of his naivety, he never got angry.

How many jailers in history could get along so happily with prisoners?

Qi Yan felt that he had opened up a new world. It was unknown how long Yu Xi would be locked up, while the others would be locked up for a maximum of two years. Some people might be released after a few months. Qi Yan always told

himself not to invest too much emotion in other people, because one day, they would be separated.

After doing what he was supposed to do, Qi Yan sat on the wooden chair. That was his exclusive seat. When he was resting, whether he was reading or eating, he would do it here.

Anyway, his job was just to look after the prisoners in these cells. In addition to these cells, there were many other cells guarded by others.

He was free that day, so he took out a small book from his pocket. It was a street gossip, and he bought it to read when he was bored.

"Our Qi Yan can read!" The big bearded man looked over and grinned: "Hey, the new one can read, right?"

Yu Xi, who was called, raised his eyebrows and answered loudly: "I am not talented, but I can read a few words."

"Don't make such a literary emphasis!" The big bearded man waved his hand: "Look at our Qi Yan to see if he can recognize all the words."

Being ridiculed like this, Qi Yan rolled his eyes, turned his head silently, supported his chin with his hand, and faced them with the back of his head.

This childish behavior caused everyone to laugh again, although Qi Yan felt that it was not funny!

Of course, he certainly didn't know the funny point of himself. If others laughed, that would be the real joke.

What Qi Yan didn't expect was that Yu Xi actually agreed, and even asked Qi Yan to bring the small book over so that they could read together.

Qi Yan was reluctant, but he couldn't resist the urging of others. He held the book and walked towards the last cell.

As he approached, a smile flashed in Yu Xi's eyes.

[The male protagonist's initial favorability towards Qi Yan is 30, the male protagonist's favorability towards Qi Yan +5, current favorability: 35]

Yu Xi has been completely interested in Qi Yan. After all, he is in prison and has nothing to do on weekdays. He can only find fun to pass the time. After spending these days together, Yu Xi found that the most interesting moment is when these people tease the little jailer.

Qi Yan walked over with the book in his hand. He didn't mind the dirtiness. He sat at the door of Yu Xi's cell and stuffed the book in.

"Hurry up and give it back to me after you finish reading it. It will be bad if the people who check the class see it."

Qi Yan thought he was just free and wanted to read a book, so he gave him the book without any hesitation. Yu Xi looked at the book that fell on the haystack, walked over to pick it up, flipped through two pages, and sat down.

There was an iron gate and a railing between the two of them. Qi Yan saw that he was reading intently, and couldn't help but wonder if the book he had read before was a fake...

Is this book so attractive? Can a young master love it and can't take his eyes off it?

Unconsciously, he tilted his neck to look over, and Qi Yan saw that the page he was reading was exactly the one he was reading.

"This is a journal. If you don't read it from the beginning, can you understand it?" Qi Yan began to explain: "This is a journal of study tours, recording the trivia of many regions. The stories are all connected. The first one is about going north..."

Qi Yan's voice was very soft, like a spring flowing through the bamboo forest, the splashing water hitting the stones washed clean by the spring water, making a crisp sound.

It was also like the music played by the masters in the deep bamboo forest, which was born for the pleasure of the ears, and only those who know it find it beautiful.

Yu Xi listened like this, his eyes moved up from the book and fell on Qi Yan's particularly rosy cheeks. His eyes were shining, as if he was very happy to talk about this journal for him.

Such a simple boy, as pure as rice paper, would actually dedicate his life to Daliang.

Although the prison guard is the lowest position, it is also part of Daliang's army and is a member of the officer and soldier class.

This is just a nice thing to say. Whether it is rights or monthly salary, it has not reached the share that officers and soldiers should have. As

Qi Yan was talking, he found that Yu Xi was looking at him softly. The voice gradually faded away. Qi Yan touched his face and turned his head away embarrassedly: "You, what are you looking at me for..."

"I just think you don't look like a jailer." Yu Xi closed the book and returned it to him: "I admire you very much. If I get out, are you willing to quit your job as a jailer and learn from me, be a child or a shopkeeper?"

"No." Qi Yan refused quickly: "The job of jailer may seem shabby to others, but to me it's like a treasure."

Yu Xi narrowed his eyes: "Don't you want to think about it again?"

"No need. As long as Daliang is not destroyed, I am willing to sit in this position of jailer for the rest of my life." Qi Yan took the book, stood up, brushed off the dust on his body, and said, "This is the position my mother fought for me."

A poor family fought for a little jailer for a lifetime, and treated him like a treasure.

Yu Xi felt funny, but when he met Qi Yan's unusually serious eyes, he couldn't laugh anymore.

Everyone has something they cherish, and I'm afraid this title of "jailer" is what Qi Yan cherishes.

Yu Xi couldn't laugh anymore. In his cognition, all ridiculous things are very important to others.

Another half a month passed, and because there was no conclusive evidence, Yu Xi was released unharmed.

The day he left, Qi Yan took him out of the back door of the yamen.

There was a luxurious sedan waiting at the back door. Such a rich and powerful show was obviously waiting for Yu Xi.

Qi Yan's eyes flashed with envy, and he turned to Yu Xi and said, "Look, I'll be clear."

Yu Xi smiled, rummaged in his sleeves, and took out an ordinary wooden pendant: "This is for you."

"What is this?" Qi Yan didn't take it, because that thing looked like an identity card for joining a cult: "I don't want it."

"Hey." Yu Xi smiled bitterly and shook his head: "This is a discount card for Xuanhu Restaurant. You can eat at half price."

"... I can't afford to eat at half price, you should take it back." How could he afford the food at Xuanhu Restaurant with his monthly salary?

"Then it's free." After saying that, Yu Xi didn't allow Qi Yan to refuse and hung the wooden card on his belt.

Just as Qi Yan was about to take it off and return it to him, he was interrupted by a delicate voice.

"Excuse me, is this Master Qi Yan?"

Qi Yan and Yu Xi looked at the place together, and saw a country woman holding a bundle in her arms, looking at Qi Yan cautiously.

Qi Yan paused and nodded: "It's me."

He was familiar with this woman, she was the one who came to claim the body.
