Chapter 77
Yu She’s back went ramrod straight . He raised his hand . Placed it on top of Zhong Wan’s leg, not allowing him to continue moving around .
In a frivolous manner, Zhong Wan said, “Why are you touching my leg?”
In a flash, Yu She removed his hand . He grasped the edge of the bed with his slender fingers, knuckles glowing white .
It wasn’t that Yu She didn’t want to be intimate with Zhong Wan .
Previously, they remained within bounds . He wanted to give Zhong Wan some space . So that in the future, whether he grew insane or died, Zhong Wan could choose his own path .
Afterward, he still refused to be wantonly intimate with him . First, it was because the noble character of his youth, which was ingrained into his nature, still haunted him . He always felt like skipping all the rules and protocols regarding this was the wrong thing to do .
Furthermore, Zhong Wan’s injured body couldn’t endure it . The two of them went through much difficulty to get to today . If their relationship soured because of some trivial matter, that would be too much of an injustice .
But Zhong Wan just refused to take the big picture into consideration!
Zhong Wan turned to look at Yu She . Low laughter escaped his lips . He didn’t actually want to do that; he just wanted to tease Yu She, and didn’t think it through before talking .
Although the pain of Zhong Wan’s life experience had passed due to Yu She’s unexpected bout of madness, when he carefully recalled it, his heart still hurt .
His heart hurt for Yu She
He must not recall his past anymore .
Each memory stabbed the heart .
The image of Yu She during his bout of madness, dazed as he sat on the ground, carefully eating tea leaves, remained in Zhong Wan’s mind until now .
That person actually thought he had run away . That he would not return .
If he truly did not return, what would happen to Ziyou?
How long could he eat that pinch of tea leaves?
Yu She struggled a lot in his heart . He glanced at Zhong Wan and frowned . “What are you thinking about now?!”
Zhong Wan said, “Past events . ”
For a moment, Yu She was startled . As if he was also thinking of the past . After a while of silence, he said, “Guiyuan, there’s been something I’ve always wanted to ask you, but was too afraid to…”
Zhong Wan laughed in spite of himself . “You actually have something you’re afraid of asking? What is it?”
Yu She shifted his gaze to Zhong Wan, practically flinching . “When did you fall in love with me?”
Zhong Wan thought, why was this question something he should be afraid of asking?
Actually, Zhong Wan didn’t want to mention these matters . Before, when Tang Ming had exposed his true feelings, he almost flew into a rage out of humiliation .
But today, he wanted to coax Yu She .
“At first… I was clueless . I was too young back then, and didn’t understand,” said Zhong Wan, enduring the embarrassment . “If I’m to be honest, it was probably… when we first met . ”
He bumped Yu She with his knee, embarrassed . Said, “Compared to you, my heart was stirred much earlier . Are you happy?”
But Yu She did not appear happy .
“So when you first arrived at my estate seven years ago,” said Yu She as he looked at Zhong Wan, his gaze speaking of his difficulty bearing it, “you had already fallen in love with me?”
For a moment, Zhong Wan was caught in a daze . “Yes . ”
The events of seven years ago in this courtyard, in this estate, flashed through Yu She’s mind like a revolving scenic lantern . He clutched the edge of the bed, fingers almost penetrating it .

He was afraid of recalling the past .
He didn’t dare to think of a Zhong Wan who had long been in love with him since young . Zhong Wan joked as he said to himself, “Did you know? A man only has a few years in his prime . ”
Yu She ignored him, but Zhong Wan followed up by saying, “How time flies . If you don’t treasure the present, in two years, my value definitely won’t be as high as it is now . ”
Yu She still paid him no mind . However, Zhong Wan said, “Did you know? Nothing in the world will always be waiting for you . ”
Originally, Yu She thought he was deliberately trying to anger himself . Who would have thought there was a pun hidden in those words . And he purposely said it in the most improper manner .
Every aspect of it seemed like a knife piercing one’s heart .
Yu She pushed Zhong Wan’s leg and said in a soft voice, “At that time, you asked me if I wanted the you back then… Were you hoping I did?”
Zhong Wan fell into a daze . And he understood . He regretted mentioning this and smiled . “The same boring old gossip…”
Despite everything, Yu She just had to torment himself by recalling past events .
A sigh left Zhong Wan’s lips . Everything about Yu She was good, except the fact that his heart wasn’t big enough .
He had to treat things that happened many years ago so seriously .

“Fine, this is what you absolutely wanted to hear,” said Zhong Wan, bumping his leg against Yu She in a way that was not well-behaved . “At that time, I had long since fallen in love with you . When I found out that you purchased me, I was unyielding on the surface but felt slightly and secretly happy . I felt the Heavens didn’t treat me the worst he could have . At my most unfortunate time… I was surprisingly sent to your hands . ”
From Yu She’s eyes, it was clear that Yu She was finding it even more difficult to calm down .
Zhong Wan continued by saying, “At first, to avoid arousing suspicion, you didn’t come to my side of the side courtyard . I found it regretful that you didn’t come to see me, so I always tried to escape from the estate . It’s a bit pitiful that everytime I tried escaping, I never got to see you .
“After that, when Steward Feng couldn’t stand being yelled by me anymore and called you over, I actually felt a bit happy .
“After that, whenever I asked you if you wanted to f*ck me, I actually secretly and slightly hoped you would,” said Zhong Wan, face reddening a hint . “Hope that you’d get so angry that you’d go mad, and truly do something to me . ”
Yu She felt a little uneasy . Zhong Wan held hands with Yu She . And he scratched Yu She’s palm not wellbehavedly . “Do you know that when you were in your teens, you were very handsome? You got me so infatuated that I was going crazy . ”
Zhong Wan supported his chin on his knee, letting his imagination roam as he said, “I especially wanted your madness to flare up, and then you’d tear off my clothes . Tie me up in this bed every day, not letting me leave the bed . Turn me into someone that can only cry and beg you, who would tremble at the sight of you . ”
As he imagined this, he grew completely aroused . He could not help but mutter, “You’ve suffered a great deal . The sixteen-year-old me was very tender . ”
Yu She couldn’t listen to Zhong Wan anymore . He was sad right now, but Zhong Wan came to disrupt his sadness!
Yu She glanced at Zhong Wan . After enduring it for a moment, he couldn’t endure it anymore, He said coldly, “Don’t feel sorry for that . You’re still young and tender right now . ”
Zhong Wan was startled .
Yu She thought of something, and said resentfully, “Also, what’s with saying how handsome I was in my teens? What about now?!”
Zhong Wan pursed his lips . Shamelessly whispered into Yu She’s ears, “When I first arrived at the capital and you kidnapped me to your residence, I was astonished by your current appearance . After I returned to my estate, I had wet dreams several times… Then after that, every time you gave me harsh words and stern looks, I get aroused . And I wanted you to take me somewhere with no one around, and play with me like that as punishment…”
Yu She couldn’t bear to listen to this anymore, raising a hand to cover Zhong Wan’s mouth .
But Zhong Wan was already aroused, and could not help but lick Yu She’s palm .
Yu She’s fingertips trembled .
He wanted to draw back his hand, but was also reluctant to .
Zhong Wan’s face grew even redder . Fawningly, he licked the slits between Yu She’s fingers
In a hoarse voice, Yu She said, “Has your fever subsided?”
“Nope,” said Zhong Wan, gasping out the sentence . “Ziyou, don’t tell me you can’t see what’s going on with me . You’re… not going to leave me hanging, right?”
Zhong Wan slightly lifted his chin as he looked at Yu She, a dense fog in his gaze, tone soft .
Yu She closed his eyes, and relying on the only bit of soberness and calmness in his heart, he said, “I must, must ask first…”
Zhong Wan frowned . “Ask what? Ask who? My birth father and mother?
“My parents give consent! Really, when I was kowtowing to them before, they spoke to me . They said, okay, you can do whatever you like . They even said that if you don’t do anything to me, they’d come with my great grandparents to look for you together at night…”

Yu She was rendered speechless .
Yu She spent a lot of effort to say, “I need to ask the imperial physician first . ”
Zhong Wan broke down . “The imperial physician would definitely say no!”
Yu She said, “Then we can’t!”
Zhong Wan was so angry that his head hurt . He had shamelessly flirted with him for so long, but this person was too stubborn!
Zhong Wan fell back into the bed . He found it funny yet also embarrassing . “Then… Let’s forget about it for now . We’ll talk about this again later . ”
Zhong Wan pulled the quilt over his head . But he still felt a bit unresigned . He said in a soft voice, “But you have to promise me then once I’ve recovered from my sickness and freshened up, you must —mmph!”
Under the quilts, Zhong Wan widened his eyes in a flash .
Yu She placed his hands on…
Separated by the quilt, Zhong Wan could hear Yu She say by his ear as he endured patiently, “First… this . ”
Zhong Wan tongue twisted as he said, “T-then I’ll help you…”
“No,” said Yu She .
“I just want to play with you . ”
Out of reflex, Zhong Wan’s legs curled up .
Yu She whispered into his ear, “I don’t want to tie you up… Don’t move…”
Zhong Wan’s legs trembled . He closed his eyes, no longer speaking .
Gaze dark, Yu She said in a low voice, “Guiyuan…”
Zhong Wan blushed from his face to his neck . Yu She pulled Zhong Wan close with one hand, lifting open the quilt with the other hand . He leaned over . Kissed Zhong Wan .
After thirty minutes, Yu She helped Zhong Wan fix up his quilt . “You’re sweating . Don’t get up yet . ”
Yu She had fooled around with Zhong Wan until the latter was flushed with excitement . Originally, he had yet to snap back to his senses, but when he recalled what had happened just a while ago, embarrassment filled his heart . He simply closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, mind a complete mess . One moment, it was proper business . Another moment, it was Yu She . As the thoughts kept rolling, eventually only thoughts of Yu She remained .
Zhong Wan sighed lightly in his heart . He already used up all his courage for this…
His mind was full of only Yu She .
As Zhong Wan thought of him, his awareness slowly drifted away . When he was half asleep, he felt like he heard the sound of water in the room . Originally, he thought Yu She was washing his hands, but the sound of water being wrung from a towel kept playing in the background . It practically pushed him asleep . He raised his head for a glance…

Yu She stood before the water basin, scrubbing Zhong Wan’s underwear for him .
“Don’t!” Zhong Wan blushed . “Don’t move! You…”
Yu She ignored him . He washed the underwear clean like it was a walk in the park . Afterward, he placed it to the side . In a serene manner, he said, “If I don’t wash it, then who are you leaving it for to look at?”
Zhong Wan was at a loss .
Yu She glanced at him . When it was all said and done, he did not feel reassured . He wanted to go ask an imperial physician to check on Zhong Wan, but feared he’d refuse out of embarrassment . As such, he lied to Zhong Wan by saying, “I still have some proper matters to attend to . Sleep first . In the evening… once you’ve finished sweating, go take a bath again . ”
Presently, Zhong Wan really cherished his life . He answered in a wellbehaved way .
He watched as Yu She left . Then Zhong Wan lay back down on the bed . He couldn’t help but close his eyes and review what just happened earlier .
Before he could think about it carefully, there was a sound by the window in the bedroom .
In an instant, Zhong Wan opened his eyes, sat up and draped his middle garments over him . Once he had quickly buttoned up the buttons, Lin Si had already entered the room without a sound .
Zhong Wan didn’t wear anything on his lower body . Afraid that Lin Si would notice, he coughed . “I’m sick… and can’t get up . Sit . ”
Lin Si sat at the foot of Zhong Wan’s bed and gestured, “Today, I came here with Young Miss . Originally, I was going to find Master for Young Miss and tell you some important news . I never expected Young Prince Yu to allow Young Miss into the estate . That’s why I was delayed until now . ”
Zhong Wan nodded . Just when he was about to tell Lin Si to talk about the serious business, he suddenly was startled .
Zhong Wan had thought of a possibility . Stiffly, he said, “Don’t tell me you were waiting here until now?”
Lin Si nodded in a proper manner . He gestured, “The family soldiers here are too impressive . It’s very difficult to sneak in . I didn’t want extra trouble, so I just stayed here the whole time . Only this way would I not delay even more . ”
“Just now, you…” Zhong Wan smiled dryly . “You were nearby?”
Once again, Lin Si nodded in a proper manner .
Zhong Wan still had a bit of hope . His voice dropped lower and lower as he said, “You… didn’t hear anything, right?”
Zhong Wan thought he hadn’t spoken too loudly before . He lowered his head and consoled himself by saying, “He didn’t hear it . He didn’t hear it . ”
However, Lin Si was unwilling to have his hearing ability called into question for no reason . He was skilled in martial arts, so he was sensitive of being told this . After he had heard Zhong Wan’s words, he earnestly said with sign language, “I heard everything . Every detail . ”
Not a word left Zhong Wan’s lips .
Lin Si said frankly with sign language, “Master, I remember your birthday very clearly . You’re obviously a whole year older than Young Prince Yu . So why did you call him “gege” just a while ago? And you even called him that many times? There was also one time where you called him “nice gege . ”
Still, Zhong Wan kept quet .
Lin Si gestured, “Was it to beg him to let you go? Or am I wrong somewhere? Or… could it be…”
“Lin Mute . ” Zhong Wan tried his best to keep calm . “Shut up . ”
