Chapter 528: Passing Through a Sea of Flowers without Getting a Single Leaf on You
I wanted to ask Madam Xie to come, but considering that Madam Xie hadn't closed her eyes for two days, I couldn't bear to ask her to come now.
Xuanyuan Yao was silent for a moment, trying his best to suppress the messy thoughts in his mind, and said lightly: "You have experienced the wonderful taste of soft jade and warm fragrance, and you may feel a little boring, so you want to change your taste. I remember that Her Majesty the Queen gave you a few beautiful boys before? They are more beautiful than me, and their figures are slender and soft, which may be more suitable for-"
"I don't have the habit of keeping male favorites." Xie Jin's face changed slightly, and his voice suddenly became cold, "Yaoyao compares himself with them, which is too low of yourself."
Xuanyuan Yao was speechless.
"If I was attracted by your appearance, I wouldn't have said these words to you tonight." Xie Jin looked at him without blinking, his eyes heavy, "Do you think I'm risking my master's taboo to confess my feelings just to have a gay love affair that is not tolerated by the world?"
Xuanyuan Yao was speechless by him, and after a while, he frowned and said, "Master's taboo?"
"The master warned me before." Xie Jin lowered his eyes, "Let me stay away from you."
Xuanyuan Yao was surprised.
How could he not know?
"The master thinks that I have bad intentions and am a cunning fox. He is afraid that you will be calculated by me." Xie Jin smiled faintly, "See, even the master thinks that I am full of scheming. He is afraid that his beloved general will suffer a loss, so he warned me in advance to prevent it from happening."
Xuanyuan Yao hesitated: "You misunderstood, the master trusts you very much, and all the important affairs of the government are handed over to you. How could it be possible-"
"Trust and protection are two different things." Xie Jin said indifferently, "You are his sweetheart."
Xuanyuan Yao felt a chill.
Sweetheart?
This sentence really makes people's scalp numb.
"Just speak properly." He couldn't help but frown, "What nonsense are you talking about? The master's sweetheart is the Queen, do you think everyone is like you--"
Before he finished speaking, he stopped talking in time, and the words he didn't say were stuck in his throat.
What is he talking about?
It's all because of Xie Jin, this fox, talking nonsense, almost dragging him into the ditch.
"I'm not jealous, I'm just a little jealous." Xie Jin said, "I'm jealous of you staying with the master for those years. If I could meet you earlier, you would be my sweetheart, and I could protect you better than the master--"
"Shut up." Xuanyuan Yao listened to him talking more and more outrageous and more and more disgusting, and couldn't help blushing and shouting coldly. The key is that he can no longer tell who this person is jealous of, "Are you done?"
Xie Jin shut up, his expression was very well-behaved.
Xuanyuan Yao took a deep breath: "Don't mention it again."
Xie Jin nodded: "Well, let's not talk about it."
"I've grown up so big, and I haven't even held a girl's hand." Xuanyuan Yao said with dissatisfaction, "You have been through a sea of flowers without getting a single leaf on you, but I haven't even seen the shadow of a flower. This is unfair."
Unfair?
Xie Jin's heart moved slightly, and he said calmly: "Then what do you think is fair?"
Xuanyuan Yao was silent for a moment: "At least I should have been through a sea of flowers once."
Then he will determine what kind of girl he likes. If he can meet the one he likes, he can openly reject Xie Jin's feelings.
If he doesn't meet...
Xuanyuan Yao frowned.
If he doesn't meet, we'll talk about it.
"You mean, let me take you to the brothel to see it?" Xie Jin said in a bad tone, "The brothel is a place of all kinds of people, not suitable for a gentleman like you who loves himself."
Xuanyuan Yao really doesn't like brothels. The decadent music is really unbearable to the ears.
However, he thought about it and felt that girls from ordinary families were strictly educated and could not get close to them easily, otherwise they would have to be responsible for them. How could they easily hold hands with others and have a tryst?
What if they found that they did not like the other person after getting close to each other?
Xuanyuan Yao was in a dilemma. Seeing that the night was getting darker, he really couldn't think about such a complicated problem with Xie Jin, so he said lightly: "You are weak, don't think about it anymore, and go to bed early."
Weak?
Xie Jin didn't expect that he was already so sick in Xuanyuan Yao's heart. He was silent for a while before saying: "Where is Yaoyao? Are you leaving?"
"I..." Xuanyuan Yao hesitated for a moment, "I will stay here to take care of you and leave at dawn."
Xie Jin hummed: "Then I will sleep for a while."
Then he lay down on the bed.
Because of his weak body and slow movements, Xuanyuan Yao couldn't help but reach out to help him, helped him lie down flat, and tucked the quilt for him considerately, as if he was taking care of a dying person.
Xie Jin stopped making trouble and soon fell asleep.
Xuanyuan Yao stood in front of the bed, silently watching Xie Jin close his eyes. The green shadows under his eyes and the pale face should be the result of the toxins in his body that have not been cleared.
Who is the assassin? I wonder if Prime Minister Xie has found the murderer.
Xuanyuan Yao looked for a while, sat down on the chair, leaned slightly to the side, supported his chin with one hand, and thought about what Xie Jin had said just now without saying a word.
Like?
In this secular world, it is probably difficult to find a second person who likes a man and dares to say it out loud, except for the Ninth Master of the Xie Family. To be fair, Xuanyuan Yao actually admires his courage - if the person he likes is not himself, he will really admire Xie Jin's courage to challenge the secular world.
But why did he have to like me?
It was really frustrating.
Xuanyuan Yao sighed lightly, with a headache.
He was idle, so he could not help but think about several possibilities in his mind. Regardless of whether he liked it or not, if he really agreed to be with Xie Jin, what would he face in the future?
The inheritance of offspring would definitely be gone. Would his father expel him from the family in anger and sever the father-son relationship with him?
Xie Jin, the son of the Prime Minister, might become a joke of the entire imperial capital's powerful and noble family.
And he would not be able to pass the test of the master.
Xuanyuan Yao's brows were knotted. He felt that Xie Jin was really bold. The master had warned him, but he dared to go his own way.
He really didn't cry until he saw the coffin.
If he really ignored it, didn't respond, and just pretended that what happened tonight had never happened, would Xie Jin really live alone in the future as Zhan Ruo said?
Xuanyuan Yao imagined that after many years, Xie Jin, who had entered middle age, would go to court alone, eat alone, drink alone, and lie on a chair alone in his spare time to bask in the sun and enjoy the scenery. Whether it was joy or sorrow, there was no one to share it. Suddenly, he felt that it was a bit unbearable.
If there was no one to accompany him in a long and lonely life, would it be tormenting?
