Chapter 536: Regaining a City
The atmosphere was a little subtle.
Xie Jin felt limp and uncomfortable, and said weakly: "I'm really not pretending this time."
He was too sensitive to bitterness and had a low tolerance. He couldn't drink this bitter medicine since he was a child. He vomited every time he drank it, without exception.
Xuanyuan Yao was silent for a moment, suppressed the tingling in his heart, reached out to help him up from the ground, and moved carefully, as if he was treating a weak girl.
"If you can't drink it, don't drink it." His voice softened unconsciously, as if he was a little apologetic, "Do you feel better now?"
Xie Jin shook his head: "I feel uncomfortable."
Xuanyuan Yao turned around and told the maid standing outside, "Go get a glass of water."
The maid did as she was told, and soon brought a glass of warm water for Xie Jin to rinse his mouth.
After rinsing his mouth with a glass of water and drinking a glass of water, the bitter taste that was killing him was finally relieved.
Xuanyuan Yao lowered his eyes and looked at Xie Jin's two white feet. After a moment of silence, he reached out and picked him up, then turned and walked into the house.
Xie Jin was confused for a moment.
Then he slowly raised his eyes, and reacted a little late to realize that he was actually being held in someone's arms as a little girl, and it was an extremely intimate princess hug posture...
Looking at this handsome and elegant face close at hand, Xie Jin lowered his eyes slightly, staring at the two lips with a perfect arc, and had an impulse to try.
Xuanyuan Yao never thought that in just a short while, the poor guy who had just vomited and made people feel distressed had already made an idea in his mind that he shouldn't have made, but fortunately he walked fast and the distance was short. It only took a while to get from outside to inside. He quickly put Xie Jin on the bed, and then ordered someone to bring hot water for him to soak his feet.
The moment his butt sat on the edge of the bed, Xie Jin's heart flashed with a sense of regret.
Xuanyuan Yao squatted on the ground to wash his feet. For a noble prince, this was definitely the first time in his life. However, Xuanyuan Yao did not think much about it. He just thought that Xie Jin's feet had stepped on the ground just now. In addition to being covered with dust, he was also afraid that he would catch a cold due to his weak body, so he washed him with hot water.
However, Xie Jin sat at the head of the bed, enjoying someone's condescending service, but he was thinking about jealous things in his heart: "Did Yaoyao wash the master's feet in the past?"
Xuanyuan Yao was stunned and looked up at him with a bad expression: "Why are you asking this?"
"Curious."
"Of course I washed it." Xuanyuan Yao said in a light tone, and he didn't think it was a shameful thing, "What do you think?"
He lost the martial arts competition in the past, and he was willing to accept the defeat and stay by the master's side as a slave, so he naturally did all kinds of work.
Could it be that he still expected the master to treat him as a distinguished guest?
Xie Jin was speechless by his words.
What do you think?
He really couldn't have any opinions. After all, when Xuanyuan Yao followed Rong Yu, they were two strangers. Xie Jin only heard of the name of the Prince of Huainan and had never even seen him.
It's just that when he thinks about it now, he feels a little sour.
"Can you tell me about the past?" He said, "Was the master good to you before?"
Xuanyuan Yao lowered his eyes and wiped his feet, saying in a leisurely tone: "There's nothing good or bad. I was stubborn at the beginning, and I didn't know how high the sky was when I was young. I challenged the master and lost miserably, so I stayed with him as a slave for a year. You know the master's temper. Now he has become softer after having the Queen. He was a cold-faced and ruthless evil god before. How could he be good to me?"
He said he was a slave for a year, and he was a slave for a year, without any discount. He served tea and water, served grinding, changed clothes and washed, and did all kinds of work. Rong Yu didn't know whether he liked quietness or deliberately made fun of him, leaving him alone to serve, so Xuanyuan Yao was tortured to the point that he didn't dare to have any temper.
Xie Jin was silent for a moment, and couldn't help but sighed: "It's really heartbreaking."
Xuanyuan Yao's mouth twitched, not wanting to argue with a weak patient.
"My one-year slavery was over, and the master drove me away, but I didn't agree." Xuanyuan Yao sighed, "If I had agreed to leave directly, what would you do now?"
Xie Jin understood what he meant after a little thought.
As the prince of Huainan, if Xuanyuan Yao resolutely left after a year of slavery, he would probably have some resentment and dissatisfaction towards Rong Yu in his heart, or even if he was magnanimous and didn't hold a grudge, he would definitely stay away from him in the future and never want to be involved with him again, after all, this is also a dark history.
But staying is another story.
Xie Jin remembered that Xuanyuan Yao had said before that he had been with Rong Yu for five years. Except for the first year of slavery, the next four years should have been spent training with him, so strictly speaking, Xuanyuan Yao's current skills and military strategies were taught by Rong Yu.
Although Xuanyuan Yao could still learn something by following his father even if he returned to Huainan.
But there is no if.
The fact is that Xuanyuan Yao was taught by Rong Yu. During those years, from the initial disobedience to the later suppression, fear, and fear, until the final loyalty with a sincere heart, Xuanyuan Yao's five years may have been extremely difficult and hard five years, but the respect that grew from the bottom of his heart during those five years was enough to be unforgettable and difficult to fade for a lifetime.
The more Xie Jin thought about it, the more he felt that the little leopard was really determined and different.
After all, most teenagers are still spoiled under the protection of their parents. Few people can be tossed around by Rong Yu for several years without feeling any fear or retreat, but instead have a heart of submission.
"Yaoyao is very powerful." Xie Jin said sincerely, "I admire you."
Xuanyuan Yao asked someone to bring the water out, and said lightly: "I admire you too."
"Admire me?" Xie Jin raised his eyebrows, "What do you admire about me?"
"I admire the ability of Master Xie Jiu to be both strong and gentle." Xuanyuan Yao stood up and looked at him lightly, "Master Jiu was walking briskly just now, he didn't look like a weak patient at all."
Xie Jin's smile froze slightly, "Yaoyao."
"I guess Master Jiu doesn't need my care, he can take good care of himself."
"Yaoyao." Xie Jin smiled apologetically, "I'm really weak, wasn't that an emergency just now? People will be stimulated to have unlimited potential in times of crisis..."
"Really?" Xuanyuan Yao smiled lightly, "In that case, you should take two doses of the decoction every day, so that you can stimulate Master Jiu's potential and let your body heal sooner."
Xie Jin's expression was completely frozen, and he couldn't say a word.
