“What happened to your hand?”
Fu Yichen looked up and met Leng Qianshang’s concerned eyes. The latter’s voice was anxious and the concern that couldn’t be hidden between his brows made Fu Yichen’s heart move. This wasn’t the latter faking it, he could see it.
“Isn’t this all thanks to you?” Fu Yichen jokingly teased as his mood became unexpectedly happy. He didn’t really mean to blame the other person when he said this and even his hand that was bandaging the wound on Su Zhan’s leg didn’t stop.
Su Zhan unconsciously felt a warmth in his heart and finally understood how the other person’s injury came to be. It’s just that he had some doubts in his heart. The more they got along, the more he felt that this Xuanyuan Canye was a little different from the Second Male that was written by the author. Su Zhan even thought that compared to the Xuanyuan Canye written by the author, this Xuanyuan Canye felt more realistic.
At this point, he had unexpectedly reached the same consensus as Fu Yichen and Fu Yichen also felt the same way about him.
But the idea that this was all just a Mary Sue novel was deeply ingrained in Su Zhan’s mind. He was very clear that this was all just a brainless Mary Sue novel. So, “Many thanks to the Emperor for saving one’s life.” After thanking him, he had to give another self-reproach, “It is Chen that implicated Your Majesty, causing Your Majesty to fall to such a place. Almost…” Almost harming the dragon body.
But Su Zhan regretted it before he could even finish speaking it. Although there was no such thing as Xuanyuan Canye’s appearance in the original work. According to the speculations, Xuanyuan Canye’s appearance is most likely due to the Female Lead. Which meant that the other person didn’t sacrifice his life trying to save him, but to save the Female Lead. Su Zhan was so annoyed that he continued to chatter endlessly, not shutting up yet not talking properly.
Fu Yichen, whose head was down and was squatting beside Leng Qianshang’s leg, carefully tore Leng Qianshang’s blood-stained pants slowly. The injured knee was soon completely revealed in front of Fu Yichen’s eyes.
The sound of the system beeping sounded intermittently in his mind. All of which were prompts of the increase in favorability of the Male Lead towards the Second Male. But Fu Yichen only focused on the leg that was right in front of him. The bend of the knee was slightly twisted but it wasn’t too serious. Some parts of the knee were blue and swollen and there was an obvious looking wound on the thigh area. At this time it wasn’t bleeding any more but dried blood stained half of the leg. Although Fu Yichen knew that this leg would fully recover later, it still looked a bit scary.
It was certain that the owner of the leg would suffer. Fu Yichen stretched out his hand to touch it and was thinking about how to clean up the wound when the sudden sound of [The favorability of the Male Lead towards the Second Male -1.] interrupted him. Although he didn’t care to listen to it, the content of the prompts were almost always on the rise of the favorability. A -1 suddenly appeared which immediately caught Fu Yichen’s attention. In a conditioned reflex, he raised his head.
“Hurts a lot?” Fu Yichen frowned and wondered.
The careless tone of voice that came out suddenly wasn’t warm, but it hit Su Zhan’s heart directly. Especially the inadvertent care that could be seen in that pair of golden eyes, which made Su Zhan’s heart palpitate for no reason. The awkwardness from Su Zhan’s rambling was swept away and Su Zhan nodded subconsciously. But he soon felt that as a big man, he was acting too weak. So he subconsciously shook his head again.
[The favorability of the Male Lead towards the Second Male +5.]
Fu Yichen blinked, not understanding the meaning of his reaction. But he inexplicably felt that this kind of Leng Qianshang was a little… cute? So he unconsciously opened his mouth to explain, “This wound should be just a scratch, it’s not very deep. After cleaning and bandaging, there should be no big problem. It’s just your leg…” Fu Yichen trailed off subconsciously to see Leng Qianshang’s reaction. After all, according to common sense, if a prince who has been forbearing for so many years and filled with fighting spirit suddenly finds out that his leg is broken, he might not be able to accept it for a while. The words that came out of his mouth suddenly turned to a corner, “Zhen can only help you find a doctor for this.” Unexpectedly, the explanation turned into words of comfort.
[The favorability of the Male Lead towards the Second Male +3.]
The other party was unexpectedly treating him gently and it made Su Zhan almost lose his mind. So Su Zhan tried his best to focus. At this time, Leng Qianshang should be in pain. He should be angry and unwilling. But when the words came out of his mouth, he just said, “Many thanks Your Majesty, Chen knows.” He suddenly didn’t want to act anymore. Anyways the Female Lead and other people weren’t present.
He was so calm that Fu Yichen raised his eyebrows unconsciously. As expected of the Male Lead, his composure was really admirable.
Since the other party was so calm, it was a bit redundant for Fu Yichen to say any more comforting words. So he just stopped talking. He just tore a few strips of cloth and planned on treating Leng Qianshang’s thigh first.
“Endure it for a bit.” Fu Yichen said lightly.
“Nn.”
Fu Yichen focused and carefully rolled Leng Qianshang’s trousers up to his thighs. He then gently lifted Leng Qianshang’s whole leg, placed it over his own and then took off the latter’s stockings. Ancient people wore stockings. Fu Yichen’s original plan was to use the stockings as a bandage, but he didn’t expect to be stunned when he took it off.
Facing him was a slender and thin leg. The foot was very good-looking, but the key point was that fair and smooth leg… has no leg hair? Fu Yichen turned his head to look at Leng Qianshang in a conditioned reflex. He couldn’t hide the slight shocked look in his eyes.
Truthfully, Su Zhan was in a restless mood after his stockings were taken off and his leg was placed on another person’s leg. Fortunately for him, it was very painful for him so the pain on his face concealed the shame on his face that he couldn’t control. It was just that the man in front of him suddenly looked up and Su Zhan didn’t understand the reason why. But he could see the surprise in the Emperor’s eyes.
So, Su Zhan opened his mouth hesitantly, “Why? Is it that bad?”
“*Cough~*” Fu Yichen was a little embarrassed by his questioning look. He turned his head calmly and lightly held Leng Qianshang’s ankle with one hand. The feeling on his hand felt surprisingly good. It wasn’t in vain that the other person’s leg was so smooth and delicate. So he said, “I’m just a little surprised. Qian Wang’s legs are so… smooth and fair.”
Su Zhan only heard a sound of a ‘Duang’ as if something fell and his mind suddenly buzzed. His brain automatically grabbed the key words, ‘your legs are smooth and fair… your legs are smooth and fair… your legs… are smooth and fair.’ Su Zhan felt that his mind was full of these words only.
What did he say? What did he mean? What does he mean by those words? Su Zhan’s face was as calm as it could be, but his heart was already raging like a terrible storm. It took him a while to realise it, but was he… molested?
After saying these words, Fu Yichen was also quite embarrassed by his own words. He just felt that if Leng Qianshang was a woman, he’d probably get pelted1 by a lot of melon seeds. After all, ancient people were very conservative. So he hurriedly changed the subject, “Bear with it for a bit. Tell Zhen if it hurts.” After he finished speaking, he started bandaging without waiting for a response.
“Hmm~” Su Zhan, whose mind was wandering, was immediately pulled back to reality by the pain. His hand reflexively clasped the rattan under him and his body was stretched taut. Then at this time, he glanced at his own leg that was resting on someone else’s leg. In an instant, Su Zhan finally understood the reason why Xuanyuan Canye said those words.
Su Zhan’s teeth gnashed in anger. Smooth and fair, without a single leg hair. Was this scientific? This was not his leg at all! This was the ideal leg of the author. His real leg has hair! Although it was relatively sparse, short and not obvious, it was still there!
“Hmm~” At this moment, a sharp pain came from his leg and Su Zhan immediately gasped. The pain caused him to break out in a cold sweat.
“Endure it a bit more.” Su Zhan saw the man with his head bowed in front of him. Although the latter’s palms were large and there was even blood on one hand, his movements were still gentle and his expression was focused which unexpectedly reassured him. Su Zhan’s heart was filled with unrealistic thoughts that he couldn’t hold back.
[The favorability of the Male Lead towards the Second Male +10.]
Fu Yichen’s movements invisibly paused. The soaring favorability brought a subtle feeling to his heart. He did know why, but he always habitually tried to find reasons as to why. For example, probably because he replaced the Female Lead to take care of him so the Male Lead’s favorability towards the Female Lead transferred to him. So in the final analysis, it showed the strength of the plot.
But at this time, Leng Qianshang suddenly said, “I didn’t expect Your Majesty’s golden body to do such a thing.”
Fu Yichen raised his eyebrows and said casually, “Zhen is not a waste, why is Zhen unable to do something like this?” After speaking, he finished bandaging the wound and gently put down Leng Qianshang’s leg. He then raised his head and asked, “How does it feel?”
Su Zhan sighed involuntarily, he didn’t think of Fu Yichen’s words of ‘Zhen is not a waste’. He was just thinking about how Fu Yichen was so handsome at this moment. But he didn’t expect that Fu Yichen would suddenly raise his head at this time. He was stunned for a moment before he nodded and said, “It’s much better now.”
Su Zhan’s face was really delicate. But admittedly, the blue eyes that belonged to Leng Qianshang were very eye-catching. As long as Fu Yichen saw this face, his eyes would always focus on the other person’s eyes unconsciously. It was like a vortex in the starry sky that unintentionally attracted him and Fu Yichen could easily see the subtle flickering in that pair of eyes.
Fu Yichen remembered with some hindsight. Wasn’t Leng Qianshang’s previous image a waste prince? There was no other meaning in the words he said casually, but often the speaker had no intention yet the listener will still probably think of it in a different way. However, the words had already been spoken, so how can an Emperor take back the jade words that came out of his golden mouth? So he could only force himself to say, “Zhen has practiced martial arts ever since Zhen was a child. Zhen has experienced major and minor injuries a lot and naturally won’t be unfamiliar with such a thing.” The implication is that it’s not that you are a waste, but that I have experienced it a lot.
But obviously it was Fu Yichen who thought about it too much. It was Leng Qianshang, not Su Zhan, who was the waste. So Su Zhan didn’t have this self-consciousness of being a waste. But he was a little impressed by Xuanyuan Canye’s words. Sure enough, behind any dazzling light, there would always be a silent effort in the dark. Even if the person is the supreme Emperor.
[The favorability of the Male Lead towards the Second Male +2.]
Xuanyuan Canye’s martial arts definitely added a lot of points to his handsomeness. But when he thought about it, Su Zhan suddenly realized his undisguised actions before he fell off the cliff. He didn’t know if this person saw it or not. If he saw it, it seemed unusual for him to treat him like this. But if he didn’t see it, how was he able to grab his hand in such a timely manner? Su Zhan was a little puzzled by this.
Just then, Fu Yichen turned around and gathered some sticks to make a splint for Leng Qianshang’s leg when he heard the latter suddenly ask behind him.
“Is there a reason for Your Majesty’s appearance in Qinshan?” After repeatedly searching for the plot in his memory, there was really no such thing.
Fu Yichen raised his brows with his back turned, “How can Zhen miss the martial arts conference that’s only held once every ten years?”
Su Zhan really… believed his words. After all, this person’s tone was relatively serious sounding. But then he still tentatively asked a question that puzzled him for a long time, “Then how can Your Majesty disregard your golden body to save Chen? If something happened to you, the Emperor, wouldn’t Chen become a sinner that deserves death?”
According to the plot, Xuanyuan Canye was undoubtedly in love with the Female Lead. But this person did not only save Leng Qianshang who was his rival in love and the person who he had always wanted to kill, but even lowered himself to bandage his wounds. So, Su Zhan was a little puzzled. His heart gave birth to some expectations that he himself didn’t notice. What if the reason why Xuanyuan Canye appeared at that time wasn’t for Zi Mengyao?
Fu Yichen turned his head to look at Leng Qianshang with some doubt on his face. To be honest, he couldn’t figure out the underlying meaning of what Leng Qianshang had just said. What was he trying to say at this time? It stands to reason that Leng Qianshang should have wished for his death when they fell, so most of what Leng Qianshang said before was superficial. The key was to find out the reason why Xuanyuan Canye appeared so suddenly. But Fu Yichen could still see the sincerity in those blue eyes.
Fu Yichen hesitated on whether he should answer that he was there for Zi Mengyao according to the plot. But in the end his words were, “You and I grew up together, how can Zhen let you die.” Anyways, he had already planned on abandoning Zi Mengyao’s route.
However, he didn’t expect Leng Qianshang to blurt out in astonishment, “Wasn’t it because of Zi Mengyao?” Shoot, he messed up.
Fu Yichen was also stunned, but then the corners of his mouth twitched. He then said firmly, “Rest assured, Qian Wang. Zhen has no interest in your WangFei.”
Su Zhan wanted to bury his face on his chest. But after listening to the sentence Fu Yichen said, his uncontrollable brain added a few words in his head, ‘If you aren’t interested in the WangFei, are you interested in the Wangye instead?’

We had to run 2 laps around the whole campus and my campus was huge with 5 buildings and 2 fields not including parking lot and a huge lot for morning assembly. Yes I’ll be the one to die first in an apocalypse. Oh but I’m good in other sports like badminton and soccer just that I play goal keeper in soccer since I can’t go against the other scary girls… They were rolling on the ground and pulling on each others hair when we did basketball and soccer. I’m standing in the corner shivering and asking whether this is allowed cuz I’m pretty sure its against the rules to be rolling on the ground holding a basketball.
