In the end, Xu ChangAn did not know what Xiao QingYan had gave him to eat. It was simply two heavens of fire and ice! Back then, he felt hot, but when the body temperature slowly fell down, his stomach was not so painful, and he began to feel cold all over again. Suddenly, he felt cold. No matter how many quilts he covered, it was useless.
“Cold! Xiao QingYan, let’s go out. I’m so cold…." He thought he could finally relax, however not even a few minutes his body felt fine, inside his body suddenly gave rise to cold air. Xu ChangAn felt that if he waited after a while, he would become an Iceman and be frozen all over.
“How is it cold?” Xiao QingYan now not only regretted, but even wanted to slap himself. He himself persisted to not understand anything that the woman gave. How could he rush Xu ChangAn to eat it for a few words from that girl QingYue?
“Come on, I’ll take you out right away!” Although he didn’t know whether it was useful or not, at least after going out, he could let Xu ChangAn soak in hot water. If it was cold, it would be much better to soak in hot water.
Right now, Xu ChangAn had no strength at all. When he heard Xiao QingYan said to go out, he could only lift his hand up gently. When he felt Xiao QingYan holding him, he grabbed his clothes.
When they came in, he did not know where Xiao QingYan had pressed, and then hugged him and rolled over, and they returned to the bed in the room.
“Hmm…” Xu ChangAn let out a moan by his own mouth! When the two turned over, Xiao QingYan overwhelmed him and gently brushed his lips across one side of his face. This contact made him lingered on and wanted to be closer to him so that he could be more comfortable.
Closing his eyes directly, Xu ChangAn did not know where the strength came from, he reached out and held Xiao QingYan’s head. He brought the person where he could get close to him. Then he stopped for a moment and kissed him directly.
In the darkness, Xiao QingYan could not see the expression on Xu ChangAn’s face, but he was sure that the person under him would never hate rejection for his closeness.
When he felt his clothes stripped off, Xu ChangAn felt heavy except his breath. The touch of skin intimacy made him feel unspeakably comfortable. The place they were practically stuck to each other continuously conveyed warm currents to him, which made him feel that his rigid body was also gradually melting away.
The feeling of physical discomfort gradually passed, Xu ChangAn’s mind slowly recovered, but when he sobered up and thoroughly understood what was happening to him and Xiao Qingyan, he was completely panicked.
The person who still moved on his body made him clearly feel what kind of intimate posture they were in. The panting that constantly rang in his ear made his brain buzzed. He… He and Xiao QingYan… actually… actually accomplished this step?
“Xiao QingYan… Ah…” Suddenly, inside his body seemed to be burning fiercely. Xu ChangAn felt embarrassed in an instant. After he recovered his reason slowly, he thought of all the things he had just done. It actually was him…. It was actually he who pulled Xiao QingYan to do such a thing to him! After Xiao QingYan released, he lay directly on Xu ChangAn’s body. After several deep breaths, he held Xu ChangAn’s face and kissed him for a while before turning over and slowly opening his mouth: “Did I hurt you just now?”
“No… Wangye, just now…. I’ve just been physically distressed and mentally confused. You—You don’t take it to heart."
“… What do you mean?" Xiao QingYan was feeling satisfied, but he hadn’t said any superfluous words yet, Xu ChangAn said such things to him! What did he mean by that?
“Wangye, I know you don’t like men. My strange reaction was probably related to the pill. It can be considered as you helping me, otherwise I don’t know if I can get through it. Wangye, I want to talk to you about something. I think…”
“I have something to say to you, let me start with it.” He didn’t want to hear Xu ChangAn go on talking. Xiao QingYan intuition told him it was not a good talk. He didn’t want to listen.
“Do you still remember that autumn hunt, when we ran into Nan Xi? You should remember it.”
“Hn.” How could he not remember that, after that time, Xiao QingYan suddenly seemed to have changed into a different person, no, it could not be said that, it should be when he was in front of an outsider, he changed into a different person .
“I didn’t think much about meeting that woman on the street before, but I was surprised to see her again. Later, when I heard that there were a lot of mistakes and omissions between her succinctly expressed words, I became wary of her.
"That day, when I was chased by an assassin and met her, she told me that she was going up to the mountain to collect medicinal herbs, but when she helped me lie on the three trunk, I saw that her hands were white and was not contaminated by dirt, and my heart was doubtful.
"Three days before the hunting day, the hunting ground was heavily guarded by soldiers. There was only one entrance, which was near to a couple of farmhouses at the foot of the hill. Since she is a woman who lives at the foot of a hill and goes up alone, it is impossible for her to go directly up the hill without touching the grass on the ground with her hands. Not to mention a weak woman like her, it is impossible to a strong man too.
"Then Nan Xi claimed herself to be herbalist, so I did not think about her coming from to Beidi, guessing that she must be from Southern Xinjiang. People in Southern Xinjiang are the best at cultivating all kinds of medicinal venomous insect. Just as expected not a moment later, she let me take a pill. I was guarding against her, naturally would not rush to submit, but also wanted to take this opportunity to give her a taste of her own medicine, and then slowly fight back. I could only take it on the pretense and then try to find a way out.
"That day was God’s help. I was seriously injured. The dried pill in my mouth was really hard to take, so I borrowed the water bag in her hand. Taking advantage of drinking water, I spat out the pill in my mouth into the water bag. After that, the water bag could not be returned back, so I used the means of token for her to leave the water bag behind.
“So it's like that.” No wonder on that day he would be so abnormal; merely happened to have met yet in that sort of performance, it turned there was such a reason! “Uhm, in that water bag…”
“As I expected, when I got back to the residence, I opened the water bag where there wasn't any pill, leaving only the white-fat venomous insect in it!” Even now when he remembered that scene, Xiao QingYan still felt terrified! If he hadn’t been on guard at that time, he would have become a puppet for Southern Xinjiang today. “That thing is… a venomous insect?” Oh God! Even he could not help holding the person beside him tightly, Xu ChangAn didn’t notice, he just felt a chill in his heart! If that thing was really eaten by Xiao QingYan, then… Would Xiao QingYan really become a puppet who had nothing but Nan Xi in his eyes?
“Then… Is it a 'love' insect?" No wonder Xiao QingYan’s feelings for Nan Xi were abnormal after that. Obviously didn’t get along for a few days. Obviously was just a one-sided relationship, but it was not good for her for no reason.
“That should be right. Do you remember the time when the assassin suddenly came to Wang Residence? I suspected it was arranged by Nan Xi. She suspected me and could only test me by the assassin, so that day I had to… Nevertheless, it will not happen again in the future, and you'll never be in dangerous in the future!"
“Xiao QingYan, you… Why do you want to say this to me?" This was the secret he had been hiding. Why should Xiao QingYan tell him?
“Because, I don't want you to be in confusion.” Although there were still some regrets in his heart, Xiao QingYan could not think so much now. He did not know why his Imperial Father had made such arrangements, but since Xu ChangAn had become his Wangfei, he did not hate him as much as he did at the beginning. Therefore, he would take good care of him. They were the people who would spend their whole life together, it was always good to be honest with each other earlier and cultivate feelings earlier, moreover… Their feelings didn’t seem to need much cultivation. He could feel that his Wangfei liked him.
Xu ChangAn did not know that Xiao QingYan had thought so much in his mind, he was entangled at this time. He really liked Xiao QingYan a little in his heart, but this liking was not enough to make him lose his reason.
His mother’s life was wasted because of the love in her heart. Although Xiao QingYan was not his selfish father and neither was he his mother, who did not resist but grin and bear.
He did not want the two of them to waste each other life. He wanted Xiao QingYan to marry a normal woman, as the normal Wangye, as a beautiful family beside them, and to have children under his knees in the future, so that he could enjoy the life of human family bonds without regret.
Xiao QingYan did not want the person to be in confusion, but because of his words, Xu ChangAn’s mind drifted to an unknown place. He could only tell Xiao QingYan that he was tired and wanted to rest. But before closing his eyes, Xu ChangAn suddenly had an idea in his mind. He thought about what he would do if he and Xiao QingYan changed their positions. Almost without thinking, the answer in his mind was that he would like to spend his whole life with Xiao QingYan, even if he was childless. [T/N: T,T Sobs]
As Xiao QingYan had said, after that he hardly reached Wangfei's main courtyard. Even if he came in the first and fifteenth, it was only to stay the night before he left early the next day. In winter, Xu ChangAn was reluctant to go out. He would go through a hardship on the fifteenth day of each month, which made him feel a little unbearable. He thought about how many such days he would have in the future, and then his mood downed. However, he yet to find that he was really much better and had not caught the wind chill for a long time. The day of Chunyu’s marriage soon arrived. Xu ChangAn let Chunyu prepare her own wedding. In fact, he did not lack money. He prepared a lot of dowry for Chunyu, enough for Chunyu have a face in her husband's family's place.
After Chunyu married, Xu ChangAn was prepared to let Dongxue leave, but Dongxue never left. When the old manager arrived at Wang Residence, Xu ChangAn had issued an order, but she would not leave.
“Wangfei, let your maidservant serve you for a few more days. Doesn't maidservant's marriage still have no arrangement yet? Let maidservant serve you for another year.” Dongxue's heart had some bad foreboding, but she did not know how to describe the feeling, just felt that she could not leave the young master, she was not willing to leave.
Xu ChangAn himself did not know when he would have the chance, so then he let Dongxue do as she pleases. But when it reached the threshold of the year, Wang Residence, which had been calm, had an incident.
