Ming Xiting looked excitedly at the man in front of him.
The man appeared to be around twenty years old, with round, bright deer-like eyes that sparkled with life, resembling a clear spring. At that moment, he wore a look of amusement as he appraised Ming Xiting from head to toe, who in turn curiously examined him as well.
After a long while, Ming Xiting finally stammered, “Who are you...?”
Ye Chen nodded, a smile playing at the corners of his mouth. “As you guessed, I also traveled here. There aren’t any tomatoes yet; aren’t you making things difficult for others?” With that, Ye Chen opened his medicine box, sat down beside him, and gestured for Ming Xiting to extend his wrist.
For the past month, Ming Xiting had been treated like a madman by many people. Now that he had finally encountered someone like him—a “fellow traveler”—he immediately felt as if he had found a safe harbor to confide in. He clung to Ye Chen and began to cry, “Ahhh! You have no idea how hard this past month has been for me! I was pushed into a fountain, and before I knew it, I was falling into a river! And then I inexplicably watched myself die—woohoo…”
His words tumbled out in a disjointed manner. Ye Chen didn’t quite catch everything and patiently replied, “What are you saying? Speak more slowly.”
Ming Xiting managed to stop his sobbing and recounted how he had been pushed into the pool during his birthday banquet and then experienced a soul exchange with the true heir of the Ming family while watching his own body fall into the river. He shared the bizarre details one by one.
Hearing this, Ye Chen began to share his own experience. He had been struck by a car on the roadside and had directly soul-traveled here, while Ming Xiting’s situation seemed even more complicated since he had first traveled through time before experiencing the soul exchange.
At that moment, Ming Xiting felt as if he had grasped a lifeline; meeting another “fellow traveler” allowed him to talk non-stop. After Ye Chen finally managed to take his pulse by holding his wrist, he listened as Ming Xiting chattered away endlessly.
When both of them were finally exhausted from talking, Su Ye ordered the prepared meals to be brought in immediately.
Ming Xiting had always used the best things since childhood. Even after traveling to this strange world, he continued to live a more luxurious life than ordinary people. Despite the initial stabilization of the realm, some of the dishes on Ming Xiting's table were worth as much as an ordinary family's annual income.
Ye Chen couldn’t resist staying for dinner. As a result, what usually took an hour for treating an average person stretched into two hours this time.
Pei Guanjing arrived as expected, one hand holding Xiao Douya and the other carrying a skewer of candied hawthorn. Xiao Douya bounced along, his innocent smile lighting up his young face as he tightly gripped the candied fruit, occasionally licking it with delight.
When Ming Xiting heard that Ye Chen's husband and son had come to visit, he stared at Ye Chen in disbelief, his eyes wide like saucers. "Your son? Husband?"
He seemed unable to comprehend, circling around Ye Chen, scrutinizing him from head to toe. Then, cautiously, he asked, "Are you intersex?"
Ye Chen smirked slightly. "You have quite the imagination, but no, I'm Kun Ze, and you are also Kun Ze. Kun Ze refers to a type of male human in this world who can bear children." He shot a glance at Ming Xiting and continued, "Don't be shocked; you can give birth too."
After saying this, before Ming Xiting could recover from his shock and process the information, Ye Chen picked up his medicine box and prepared to leave. With his husband at the door, if he didn't hurry, he feared he would face trouble later that night.
"Don't go! What do you mean? I don't understand any of this." Ming Xiting snapped back to reality and urgently grabbed Ye Chen's arm, eager for clarification.
As Ming Xiting's emotions fluctuated, Ye Chen distinctly caught the scent of apricot blossoms wafting from the back of his neck—a faint sweetness reminiscent of soft, glutinous pastries—much like Ming Xiting himself, tender and delicate.
Ming Xiting was a vibrant youth of sixteen or seventeen, with exquisitely refined features that resembled a carefully crafted work of art. Beneath his slightly arched eyebrows lay a pair of eyes that sparkled like stars in the night sky—bright yet profound. Below his straight nose was a pair of soft pink lips that trembled slightly in anxiety.
If one overlooked the furrowed brows etched with worry on his face, it would only add to his cold demeanor; unfortunately, his appearance did not match his personality.
"What do you mean by that? Speak clearly! Brother, don’t mess with me; I’m scared! Please don’t go..."
In the midst of their tugging and pulling, Ming Xiting suddenly sensed an overwhelming scent of pine filling the courtyard. Following the aroma’s source, he saw a tall and handsome man—about six feet three inches—gazing darkly at him as he held onto Ye Chen’s arm.
Pei Guanjing stood tall and straight like a pine tree, with deep-set eyes that often held an inscrutable depth. At that moment, those eyes were fixed on Ming Xiting’s hand with a calm intensity that seemed to emerge from the shadows.
In that fleeting moment, Ming Xiting felt as if he had been jolted by electricity. He instinctively released his grip, unable to articulate why, but sensing a dangerous aura surrounding him.
Ye Chen, with a resigned sigh, patted Ming Xiting on the shoulder and explained, "Brother, I know it's hard for you to accept, but the views on gender in this world might differ from what you understand. I suggest you take some time to re-evaluate that. Also, it seems like your Rain Dew Period has flared up; you should be more careful."
After tossing out those words, Ye Chen turned and strode forward without looking back. He snatched the candied hawthorn from Pei Guanjing's hands and said, "Who told you to give it to him? Haven't your teeth been hurting these past few days?"
Ye Chen flicked Xiao Douya on the forehead, then popped the extra candied hawthorn into his mouth. Xiao Douya pouted, his eyes instantly turning red as he nearly burst into tears. However, Pei Guanjing was quick to react; he scooped Xiao Douya up with one arm and hurried after Ye Chen, soothing him with, "Don't cry; I'll buy you more."
With Pei Guanjing's promise, Xiao Douya immediately wiped away his tears and broke into a smile, sweetly calling out to Pei Guanjing, "You're the best, Father."
Hearing this, Ye Chen in front couldn't help but roll his eyes repeatedly.
