Chapter 62 The Great Fox Fairy and the Little White Rabbit
Xun Xun spoke too quickly and almost said the words "love at first sight".
Yun Chen nodded, his expression becoming more serious:
"I know that the young master appreciates me and values me, so I cannot let him down."
Xun Xuan's mind resurfaced with the scene of the day when the sky lanterns were released. When everyone ran over to help Yun Chen and Huo Gannian up, Huo Gannian's hand moved away from Yun Chen's lower back without leaving a trace.
Yun Chen was too nervous and flustered, but Huo Gannian was clearly calm and sober.
Huo Gannian, who was quite cold to everyone and even didn't like others touching him easily, naturally hugged Yun Chen's waist when Yun Chen pounced on him.
He said "Don't hurt your back" and was concerned about Yun Chen, but Xun Xuan just felt something was wrong and could not forget the shock brought by that scene.
He thought about it many times. If someone rushed to save him, he would probably subconsciously support their shoulders or lean on them, but he would never hug their waist.
That action is really thought-provoking.
From that day on, Xun Jian often observed Huo Gan Nian calmly. Logically, this was absolutely wrong, but since it concerned his brother Yun Chen, he couldn't care less.
After observing for a long time, Huo Gannian indeed treated Yun Chen differently from other guards. He appreciated and trusted him more, and there didn't seem to be anything inappropriate.
Until one day, Huo Gannian was sitting in the yard enjoying the breeze, watching the servants and guards of Beiningtang packing their luggage.
When a stack of boxes suddenly fell down and almost hit Yun Chen, Xun Yan immediately raised his eyes to look at Huo Gannian, and saw a strong emotion in his eyes that were about to withdraw.
As if forcibly cutting off his fear and worry, when Xun Kan looked again, Huo Gannian had already withdrawn his gaze, his expression as calm as usual.
If Xun Jian had not noticed it earlier, he would have never caught that moment.
Xun Xuan was shocked. After that, when he saw Huo Gannian and Yun Chen in the same frame, he felt that Huo Gannian looked like a big fox fairy with great cunning, while Yun Chen looked like an innocent little white rabbit.
Originally, Xun Xuan was just thinking in his mind whether he should hint to Yun Chen and be on guard against Huo Gannian.
Or it would be best to just quit and leave.
But ever since that girl Dankou, who could be seen at first glance as a woman disguised as a man, started entering and leaving Beining Hall, Yun Chen suddenly became as melancholy and silent as an eggplant hit by frost, and Xun Yan knew that he was doomed!
This kid is probably... also tempted.
Unlike Huo Gannian, Yun Chen's thoughts were all written on his face and he never knew how to hide them. Xun Yan could see it, and the other guards also realized that something was wrong.
Xun Xun was very worried about Yun Chen, but he knew that Yun Chen himself might not even understand his own feelings!
The scene of the fox fairy and the little white rabbit suddenly changed to one where Huo Lang was in love with Yun Lang, and the two of them were just about to break through that window paper.
Fearing that Yun Chen would "go astray", Xun Xuan stopped hinting to Yun Chen to be on guard against Huo Gan Nian's thoughts, otherwise he might not be able to stop him, and he, Xun Xuan, would become a matchmaker instead.
Thinking of this, Xun Yan filled Yun Chen's bowl with wine and asked tentatively:
"Ah Chen, sometimes, being overly appreciated by your master isn't a good thing. If you appreciate him too much, it becomes..." Xun Jian was full of complaints, and finally said two words: "Overpraising."
Xiaoliu and Yunchen looked at each other, neither of them quite understanding how this word could be used to describe Yunchen.
Xun Jian also felt that the words were inappropriate, so he made up his mind and said:
"Achen, you're young, innocent, and without any family around you, so there are things you don't understand. I'm going to swallow my pride and say something patronizing today. It's already difficult enough for you to venture out and seek grace at such a young age. Don't choose an even more difficult path... one you won't be able to reach the end of."
Xun Jian drank half a bowl of wine and continued, "Achen, I hope you can marry a virtuous wife, live a peaceful old age, and have many children and grandchildren. Don't be fooled by the moment and take the wrong path. Some people, even if they are right in front of us, are ultimately not from the same world as us.
No one dares to scold a high-ranking master. Having three wives and four concubines is perfectly normal, even for male concubines. At most, they'll be discussed behind their backs, but a guard whose life is worth nothing will be drowned in spit. I don't want to see you led astray, where everyone forgets how capable you are and only wants to poke you in the back."
Having said that, even if Yun Chen knew nothing, he still understood what Xun Yan meant.
She was really at a loss whether to laugh or cry. She was touched by Xun Yan's sincere advice, but she couldn't tell him that she was disguised as a man. She could only remain silent for a while, picked up the wine, drank it all, and said sincerely:
"Brother, I'm not 'Long Yang', really!"
Her words made Xun Jian blush, and Xiao Liu beside him spat out a mouthful of rice and shouted:
"Brother Gou, are you saying that Achen likes men? How is that possible!"
Yun Chen was too guilty to look at Xiao Liu and could only say to Xun Yan:
"Brother Gou, there are many things I really can't help you with... But don't worry, I'm truly not 'Long Yang.' As for the future, if one day I'm destined to meet my benefactor, I will give up everything I have now and follow him until death. If I'm not blessed enough to meet you in this lifetime, I will repay the young master's kindness."
Xun Jian was a little surprised. "If you find a benefactor, are you willing to give up everything you have now to follow him? And also give up Young Master Huo?"
Yun Chen felt a pang in his heart, but he gritted his teeth and nodded:
"She! If you abandon the Huo Gang just because you've enjoyed happiness and been respected, you'd be the worst of pigs and dogs. I can't forget the kindness you showed me in saving my mother!"
If these words came out of Xiaoliu's mouth, Xun Yan would only think that Xiaoliu was impulsive, hot-blooded, and boasting.
But when these words came out of Yun Chen's mouth, they carried extraordinary weight.
Yun Chen always keeps his word and remains loyal and righteous. Since he said so, he will definitely do it.
From this, it seems that Huo Gannian is more deeply involved, while Yun Chen is still very cautious!
Xun Jian suddenly felt relieved and said hurriedly, "Achen, didn't you say that the person who saved your mother back then has a token that can be used to identify him? Let me see it, and I will help you find it myself, and I will never ask anyone else to do it for me!"
Xiaoliu also became interested. "Count me in, I'll look for it too. I remember it was the silver coin around Brother Yun's neck. Take it out and let us see it!"
Now, "finding the Lord" is no longer the most important thing. He just hopes to meet him by chance. Yun Chen is no longer too wary.
She touched her empty neck and said, "I lost the silver coin while on a business trip. On it is the jade pendant of my benefactor that I wrote down. It looks like this—"
As she spoke, she dipped a little wine in the water and drew a pattern of plum blossoms and a broken moon on the table.
Xiao Liu stared at the wine stain, studied it for a long time, scratched his head and asked:
"Is this a cat's paw pie chart? What kind of person would use this thing as a jade pendant?"
Yun Chen closed his eyes and pressed Xiaoliu's face into the braised pork ribs.
