âyeah.â shi ye said, âi heard.â
if he hadnât felt the sweat dripping from shi yeâs palms, wen chi would have thought that shi yeâs mood at this moment was as calm as he showed.
but shi yeâs pretending to be calm still amused him and he squeezed shi yeâs hand tightly: âyour reaction is a little cold.â
shi ye didnât seem to know how to answer his words, so he turned his head and glanced at him, only to let out another âhmmâ.
wen chi waited eagerly for a long time, only to receive a âhmmâ, he scratched shi yeâs palm in frustration.
in the end, shi ye grabbed his fidgeting hand.
âwhat if i said that since i learned the news, i have been unable to sleep all night, and have even thought about the path the child will take in the future?â
suddenly hearing these words, wen chi couldnât help being stunned. the next moment, he pulled the corner of his mouth then let out a breath, as if a stone was slowly sliding down on his chest.
the sudden sense of relief made him a little uncomfortable.
wen chi asked: âreally? what path have you thought about?â
speaking of this, shi ye frowned slightly, he pondered for a moment and said: âif itâs a boy, we canât make it too easy for him.â
wen chi asked again, âwhat if itâs a girl?â
shi ye looked down at wen chi and his brows soft: âiâll give her whatever she wants.â
wen chi said happily, âother people favor boys over girls, how come in your case it has become favoring girls over boys.â
shi ye shook his head: âactually, i donât care if itâs a boy or a girl.â
wen chi asked, âthen who do you care?â
shi ye paused, then suddenly let go of wen chiâs hand and hugged wen chi. with a little force on his hand, he pulled wen chi into his arms.
wen chi didnât stand still and threw himself on shi yeâs chest. just as he was about to stand up straight, he felt shi yeâs breath pressing down from above.
âthe person i care about the mostâ shi ye sighed in his ear, âof course itâs you.â
wen chi: â â
shi yeâs breath carried an astonishing temperature, instantly lighting up wen chiâs ears.
even though wen chi couldnât see his own appearance, he guessed that his face and ears must be flushed.
before wen chi could speak, he heard a slightly embarrassing coughing sound from beside him.
he was startled for a moment before realizing that general lin was still watching.
wen chi turned his head with a reddened face and indeed met general linâs awkward and evasive gaze.
âyou royal highness.â general lin saluted and said.
âhmm.â shi yeâs face was much thicker than wen chiâs and he said casually, âheâs inside, find him.â
âyes.â
general lin wanted to leave a long time ago, he saluted again and then disappeared from wen chi and shi yeâs sight as if fleeing.
seeing general lin walking away, wen chi repeated to shi ye what he and the little boy saw in the hidden room.
shi yeâs expression was solemn and when wen chi finished speaking, his expression was already extremely ugly.
the uneasiness in wen chiâs heart surged up again. he wanted to ask shi ye about being poisoned by hua yin but he knew that now was not the time. his confusion and worry about the future made him hug shi yeâs waist subconsciously.
he hugged him tightly, as if he could hold shi ye who was like a floating kite in his palm.
shi ye seemed to feel his emotions and stroked his hair: âdo you still remember the way?â
wen chi nodded: âi remember.â
when he left that hidden room not long ago, he knew that he might have to go back, so he made a note of the route he left but for some reason, when he found his way back again, he lost his way.
only then did he discover that the abandoned house was huge and every courtyard had the same orientation and appearance and even the flowers, plants and trees outside looked similar.
among these similar courtyards, wen chi gradually lost his direction and in the end, he had no choice but to stop.
the night was dark and the moonlight was hazy.
even with the light from the fire chasing away the surrounding darkness, wen chi still couldnât distinguish the difference between these courtyards.
he regretted not bringing the little boy out with him.
