【Chen Zixi×you×Jiang Yan】The chivalrous relationship is actually between his sworn brother and his best friend 3
If Jiang Yan wasn't by your side at this moment, you would definitely throw yourself into Chen Zixi's arms and cling to him. After not seeing him for a few days, you've been missing him for a long time.
However, now is the most delicate moment, your two chivalrous souls have met, and you and one of them are just about to start living together in Beizhulin.
You know you shouldn’t be distracted right now, but you still can’t help but wonder: I wonder if Chen Zixi would agree to stay and live together as a group of three.
"What? You don't recognize me?" Chen Zixi looked at you with a smile.
You shook your head randomly and introduced Jiang Yan to him a little awkwardly: "This is Jiang Yan, my father's adopted son..."
"...Your father is General Wang Qing?" You thought it was just an ordinary introduction, but unexpectedly, Chen Zixi quickly understood it. He looked at you with a strange look, and then at Jiang Yan.
How could he know your father? You were puzzled for a moment and turned to look at Jiang Yan. He had his arms folded across his chest, leaning casually against a thick bamboo tree. The coldness in his eyes had become unpredictable.
After knowing each other for a few days, you have already gained a preliminary understanding of Jiang Yan's personality. This posture and expression can only mean that he knows Chen Zixi and is very familiar with him.
You've already started to back out in your heart, but you force yourself to ask with a wry smile, "Do you know each other?"
"I haven't told you yet," Chen Zixi looked at you, his eyes becoming even more intriguing. "Jiang Yan and I are close friends. We've known each other for many years."
...Well, I think my senior brothers and sisters haven't told you before, what should we do if two heroes are close friends?
You were instantly overwhelmed, but Jiang Yan's eyesight wasn't as good as Chen Zixi's, so he asked doubtfully, "You... know him too?"
You swear you really wanted to crawl into the ground, too afraid to even look at Jiang Yan's expression. Summoning up all your courage, you slowly walked over to Chen Zixi, gently tugged on his sleeve, and introduced him to Jiang Yan: "Um, Jiang Yan, Zixi... is my chivalrous soul."
After you said that, you really felt a little relieved. You finally raised your head, met Jiang Yan's wide eyes, and added tremblingly: "...It was my first chivalrous encounter. At that time, I hadn't received my father's letter yet..."
You think you are really great, and you are worthy of being the Zui Huayin who dares to do and take responsibility.
Chen Zixi is even bolder than you. He folded the fan in his right hand, and gently held yours with his left. He raised his eyebrows slightly and smiled at Jiang Yan: "I was wondering whose girl was so capable that she could capture the heart of our hero Jiang in just a few days. It turns out she is my girl."
Jiang Yan's brows furrowed. He looked at Chen Zixi and firmly corrected her, "It's not your house."
Chen Zixi's smile widened, and he stretched out his tone: "I'm sorry, Jiang Yan, but I am her first chivalrous love."
Jiang Yan remained unmoved. He stared at him and said, "More than ten years ago, when she was still a baby, her adoptive father chose me to be her future husband."
Chen Zixi saw everything clearly. He knew that if you had known Jiang Yan when you first met, you would never have given him such a cute expression. So he countered her move, saying, "I believe it. It's a pity she didn't know she had a fiancé like you before."
You stood aside, dumbfounded. You knew Chen Zixi was smart and perceptive, but you hadn't expected him to be this clever. Before you'd even said a word, he'd already figured out that there was something fishy about your relationship with Jiang Yan, even guessing who was going to be the first!
Jiang Yan's eloquence was far inferior to Chen Zixi's, and he was silent for a moment.
Chen Zixi calmly pressed the issue, "When you wrote me your first letter, it was clear you had never met her. When you wrote me your second letter, you were indeed moved, but you didn't recognize her identity, did you?"
You saw that Jiang Yan, who was usually expressionless, now had a hint of regret on his face. He probably regretted having said a few more words to Chen Zixi.
Jiang Yan was silent for a long while before he said calmly, "She is the daughter of a general and the young master of a wealthy family. She will never go back to Jinling with you."
Chen Zixi said, "I'd like to stay in Qinghe with her. I have more than one son at home, so it's not necessary for me to return to Jinling."
Jiang Yan couldn't help himself and finally brought up your father: "...The general is my adoptive father and has taught me strictly since I was a child. He recognizes me more than you."
Chen Zixi sighed deeply. "Jiang Yan, I'm not unfamiliar with General Wang. I've even had drinks and conversations with him many times because of you. You know his attitude towards me. If he knew, do you think he would approve of me?"
——That was truly a great endorsement. Just half a year ago, when Chen Zixi visited the military camp, the general praised him for being "versatile in both civil and military matters, possessing the demeanor of a gentleman, and capable of handling important tasks."
Jiang Yan felt suffocated and seemed to have nothing to say. He turned his head to look at you with a blank and helpless look in his eyes. You had never seen such an expression on his face before.
Chen Zixi also turned his head to look at you. Although he had just had an argument with your other hero, he seemed to be in a good mood, looking at you with a smile on his face. You always felt that he seemed to have seen through your thoughts.
Of course, it's not ruled out that he's happy now because he's your first, before Jiang Yan. You ask yourself if you understand Chen Zixi's character.
You couldn't just stand by and watch, so you pulled Chen Zixi's hand and shook it as a way of acting coquettish. After he rubbed your fingertips slowly and lightly as a response, you moved forward and, under Jiang Yan's dim gaze, you also held his hand.
"Alright, alright, stop arguing." To comfort Jiang Yan, you even kissed him on the cheek. "I like Zixi very much, but I also like you very much, Jiang Yan. In my eyes, you are both equally important."
You couldn't help but sigh in your heart: He is really worthy of being Chen Zixi. Not only did he understand what you meant by being coquettish, but he was also able to respond to you quickly. You chose the right wife!
Jiang Yan's eyes moved, and he looked at Chen Zixi beside you: "...You call him 'Zixi', but call me 'Jiang Yan'?"
You really want to say that it’s because Zixi’s name has three characters, while yours only has two! But you hold back and coax him gently: “Then how about I call you ‘Ayan’?”
Jiang Yan finally nodded.
After finally coaxing Jiang Yan, you looked at Chen Zixi again, pitifully.
"I don't know you yet?" Chen Zixi laughed and tapped your nose. "Since it's Jiang Yan, I'm familiar with him, and you like him, then it's up to you. However, if it were someone else, I wouldn't be so generous."
Seeing his attitude, you felt relieved. Holding Jiang Yan with your left hand and Chen Zixi with your right hand, you felt that your life was complete, so you didn't hesitate to praise him: "Zixi, you are so kind!"
Chen Zixi has long been accustomed to your sweet words, and he looks at you with a smile: "You know I'm good, why do you only kiss him and not me?"
You were completely powerless against his gentle and doting expression, and immediately leaned over to give him a kiss as well. Chen Zixi even skillfully fanned out his fan to block out some of the kisses.
Jiang Yan on the side: "..."
After looking at the small house in the bamboo forest, Chen Zixi shook his head repeatedly. "Jiang Yan, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but it's fine if you live a rough life, but you're also bringing her along? A house like this will probably leak in the summer. How can you expect to live comfortably?"
You quickly defended Jiang Yan, "Zi Xi, you don't know. I used to live on the hillside and have my own house, but this place is a little further away from Buxianxian and quieter. I didn't think too much about it. Isn't having a place to live enough?"
"You're willing to leave yourself, but I'm reluctant to let you live in a house like this." Chen Zixi took your hand and motioned for you to sit down first. "You rest first, I'll find someone to fix it."
"I'll go." Jiang Yan stepped forward and looked at Chen Zixi. Although his expression didn't change, it gave people the impression that he was showing off. "Everyone says I'm Bu Xianxian's new son-in-law. They don't recognize you, so if you go, I'm afraid no one will come to help."
You watched them fighting with their eyes, and finally understood what "vying for favor" meant: your senior brothers and sisters are all so awesome, any one of them has six chivalrous connections, and there is even a powerful figure who has forty chivalrous connections, and I don't know how they did it, why can't you two handle it?
Jiang Yan left, saying that he was going to ask his senior brother Chu and his wife to help him arrange the repair of the house.
Chen Zixi pushed you onto the recliner, sat beside you, and asked you, fanning himself, "How were you? Did Jiang Yan let you succeed?"
You felt like he had guessed something, and answered honestly, "No, Jiang Yan said that some things need to be resolved after we get married."
Chen Zixi had an expression that said, "As expected," "Jiang Yan has a stubborn personality and simpler ideas."
You felt a slight sense of shame when you were discussing Jiang Yan with Chen Zixi. You simply threw your arms around his neck and winked at him, hinting, "Zixi, Zixi, I really missed you. Why did you come to me just now?"
You originally wanted to have a kiss after a long separation, but he looked around and said meaningfully, "You can't do that here. It's autumn and the weather is cold. You'll easily get cold."
Your face immediately flushed red and you glared at him shyly, "That's not what I meant! You know exactly what I meant!"
Chen Zixi smiled: "I know." He supported his hand on your ear, slowly leaned over, and kissed you patiently, from the tip of your hair to your forehead, from the corner of your eyebrows to your eyes, and finally landed on your lips, gently and affectionately.
...It's a completely different flavor from Jiang Yan. You think you're really lucky.
Worried that Chen Zixi would be unhappy, you kept pestering him with kisses and hugs, calling him "Zixi" and "Brother Zixi", and even adding "husband" and "Sanlang" to make him smile.
"I can't do anything about you." Chen Zixi reluctantly helped you straighten your messy hair, picked up a lock and twisted it in his hand, then asked you casually, "Who do you want to accompany you tonight?"
You were no longer sleepy when this was mentioned. You immediately struggled to get up and lay on his lap: "The Third Young Master has come from afar. If I don't treat him well, wouldn't it be inappropriate?" You thought to yourself, Jiang Yan is a rule-abiding and introverted person, so he probably wouldn't agree.
Chen Zixi sighed, "You, you've put all your thoughts on me and Jiang Yan. There's nothing wrong with that. It's all up to you. There's always a long way to go." He held you in his arms and told you, "Don't ask why it took me so long to come find you. Before I left home, I told my parents that I would stay in Qinghe with you."
He was a little too thoughtful. You were so moved that tears almost fell. You immediately promised, "Don't worry, I will definitely go with you to Jinling to meet my father and mother."
Chen Zixi smiled and said, "Well, I know. There's no need to rush. We can go whenever you want."
But you didn't expect Jiang Yan's tactics for winning favor had also improved. When you tentatively asked him, "How are you going to spend tonight?", he looked at you with a pair of dark eyes that seemed to be filled with water and whispered, "You won't come with me?"
You suddenly softened your heart and looked at Chen Zixi hesitantly.
Chen Zixi knows the routine better than you do. He nodded at you and smiled at Jiang Yan: "Forget it, I don't want to compete with you for her. She accompanies you today, but she has to accompany me tomorrow."
Without waiting for your answer, Jiang Yan said, "It's a deal."
...No, they've already allocated it? You were stunned.
For the first twenty-six years of Jiang Yan's life, he had never been intimate with a woman other than his mother. Now that he was in his prime and experiencing sex for the first time, he was a bit rough with his hands. By the time he woke up the next morning, his body was covered in bruises, his waist and thighs were so sore that walking was difficult.
Chen Zixi felt distressed when he saw this, and personally prescribed medicine for you and massaged you. He couldn't help but nag at Jiang Yan: "I understand how you feel, but girls have delicate skin, you have to know the severity."
Jiang Yan, believing he had done something wrong, sat with his head drooping, saying nothing but nodding silently. You leaned in Chen Zixi's arms, watching the scene, finding it incredibly amusing.
...Well, you still have to exercise restraint when it comes to physical intimacy. You secretly made up your mind. It was okay with Chen Zixi; he was always gentle. But at night, Jiang Yan was like a wolf from the northwest; even he might not be able to control himself... Alas, the hardest thing to endure is indeed having two wives.
