Ye Chen turned his back once more, while Lou Yu continued to eat the noodles in his bowl, his eyes glued to Ye Chen, never straying for a moment.
Suddenly, a faint scent of Haitang Fragrance wafted into Lou Yu's nostrils. He instinctively thought it was from the sachet that Ye Chen had been wearing lately. He asked absentmindedly, “Did you add Haitang flowers to your sachet? What benefits does it have when mixed with medicine?”
As soon as the words left his mouth, Ye Chen's heart skipped a beat. Lou Yu wasn’t a fool; he had a nose like a dog! Despite having so many sachets around him, Pei Guanjing hadn’t noticed anything. Yet Lou Yu had only been with him for a short time and had already caught on?!
Fortunately, Ye Chen had anticipated countless scenarios where he might be suspected, including this one. He quickly composed himself, maintaining a lazy demeanor, and smiled as he replied, “Oh really? Do you think I look like a Kun Ze?”
Lou Yu nodded eagerly and continued cautiously, “Yes! And you look... well... definitely more refined than the average Zhong Yong. In all my years in the capital, I’ve never seen a Zhong Yong more beautiful than you. You can’t really be a Kun Ze, can you? Hahaha!”
Lou Yu’s laughter was weak, and uncertainty gnawed at him; he had no idea how Ye Chen would react to such teasing.
What he didn’t expect was for Ye Chen to drop a bombshell: “Should I take off my clothes so you can check whether I’m a Zhong Yong or a Kun Ze?” With that, he actually stood up, hands on his belt, ready to strip if Lou Yu didn’t believe him.
Lou Yu had never encountered such a situation before and panicked instantly. He realized he might have gone too far tonight. He had come over intending to ease the tension between them, but now it seemed they were on the verge of an argument.
In a hurry, Lou Yu rushed over and grabbed Ye Chen’s belt, urgently explaining, “Ye Chen, listen to me! I just heard others at the Military Camp say that and thought it would be funny. If you don’t like it, I won’t say it again; I really didn’t mean any harm…”
Before he could finish his sentence, both of them heard a chilling voice from behind: “What are you two doing?”
Upon hearing that voice, Ye Chen froze instantly as if struck by a spell. Slowly, he turned around.
It was Pei Guanjing.
He stood at the door, shrouded in darkness as if he had emerged from the shadows. Dressed in white as always, he resembled a ghost in the night—standing alone at the entrance with eyes like frost in late autumn, cold and piercing as they fixed on Ye Chen and Lou Yu.
Pei Guanjing had finally managed to ease his relationship with Ye Chen over the past few days and was trying hard to forget that night of enchanting dreams.
Yet whenever he was apart from Ye Chen for even a moment, it felt like something was missing inside him—an emptiness that left him feeling unsettled.
As evening approached, Ye Chen greeted him, mentioning that he was hungry and intended to head to the Canteen for a late-night snack. However, quite some time had passed, and he still hadn't returned. Pei Guanjing sat inside the tent, his right eyelid twitching incessantly. According to popular belief, "the left eye twitches for fortune, while the right eye twitches for disaster," and a sense of unease crept into his heart. He decided to head to the Canteen to check on things. Little did he expect to walk in on such a scene.
Earlier that day, Lou Yu had aggressively interrogated Ye Chen, and Pei Guanjing couldn't help but wonder how this naive disciple could be so forgetful, getting so close to Lou Yu. It was a classic case of not learning from past mistakes.
When he hurried into the Canteen that night, the sight before him ignited a fire of rage within him. Ye Chen's small hand rested on his belt as he playfully tugged at Lou Yu, a position that left much to the imagination.
Pei Guanjing's expression instantly turned icy, as if encased in frost.
Upon seeing Pei Guanjing, Ye Chen's mind went blank, like a kite with its string cut. Even if he was slow to realize things, he understood that his current posture with Lou Yu could easily lead to misunderstandings.
"Hey, Master! What brings you here? No... please let me explain!"
Ye Chen panicked, quickly pushing Lou Yu's handsome face away with his fingers and scampering over to Pei Guanjing. He looked up with a flattering smile and said, "Master, you're here! Are you hungry? I made some noodles; if you want some, I can whip up a bowl for you right away!"
Flattery without cause is often suspicious!
Pei Guanjing felt displeased and maintained a cold expression without responding to Ye Chen.
How could a Kun Ze be so oblivious to danger and get so close to someone from Tian Qian? What were they trying to accomplish?
Seeing that Pei Guanjing was ignoring him, Ye Chen pressed on with his attempts at appeasement: "Master, I just made some hand-pulled noodles; they're really delicious! Don't you want to try some?"
Pei Guanjing's gaze swept coldly over the large bowl on the table, which still contained half-eaten hand-pulled noodles.
The thought that these noodles were specially made by Ye Chen for Lou Yu extinguished any hunger he might have felt at that moment and instead ignited an inexplicable anger within him.
"Don't."
Pei Guanjing replied coldly, then stepped around Ye Chen and walked straight to the mat beside the square table, lifting the hem of his clothes and slowly kneeling down.
Sitting across from him at the table was Lou Yu. He naturally noticed Pei Guanjing's unusual behavior tonight. Normally, he would have teased him without hesitation.
However, he was still immersed in the allure of Ye Chen's beauty from moments ago, and his mind hadn't caught up yet, leaving him with no desire to tease Pei Guanjing.
Moreover, having his hand tugging at someone else's belt was something that could easily lead to misunderstandings if seen by others, which made him feel a bit uneasy.
So, Lou Yu hurriedly finished the handmade noodles in his bowl, wiped his mouth, and mumbled, "Ye Chen, I'm leaving now. You and Doctor Pei can chat slowly." With that, he slipped away as if his feet were greased.
Ye Chen remained dazed in place, staring blankly at the curtain that Lou Yu had just lifted and then let fall again.
The early summer night breeze gently blew through, carrying a hint of coolness that made the curtain billow continuously.
Having just dealt with one troublemaker, now another more complicated one had arrived.
But why should he feel guilty? It was just a little tugging over a belt with Lou Yu! Besides, wasn't it normal for men to mess around with each other?
Furthermore, Lou Yu wouldn't actually go so far as to take off his pants.
