Lou Yu nodded in satisfaction at Ming Xiting's perceptiveness, then released his hand, turned his back, and stood beside him, leisurely gazing at the beautiful scenery of Jiangnan.
From Ming Xiting's perspective, Lou Yu was tall and imposing, his back appearing particularly grand, towering over him by a head. Given his age, he should have already married and started a family, yet there seemed to be an affair between him and Ye Chen. Could it be that he shared some unknown past with Ye Chen and Pei Guanjing?
Lou Yu and Ming Xiting were standing quite close, so Ming Xiting naturally caught a whiff of the subtle fragrance emanating from Lou Yu. It was an indescribable scent; if one had to describe it, it would be the smell of a forest.
A deep and mysterious fragrance lingered in the air, difficult to pinpoint whether it was from a specific tree or flower, just a pure and natural forest aroma.
Just a hint of that scent brought him immense joy, calming his racing heart.
Ming Xiting couldn't help but furrow his brow; how could such a pleasant fragrance appear on someone as ill-tempered as Lou Yu? It truly felt like a waste.
Soon after, Ming Xiting was led by Lou Yu to an inn. This inn was located on the top floor behind the window they had just passed. He couldn't fathom why someone would choose to stay so high up in an ancient time without elevators; it must be exhausting to go up and down.
Ming Xiting dared not sit on the bed; he felt as though he were in the position of a servant and wouldn't dare compete with Lou Yu for the bedding. Instead, he pressed his lips together and cautiously glanced at Lou Yu, who was peacefully asleep on the bed, seemingly indifferent to his presence.
After a long while, seeing that Lou Yu showed no signs of waking up, Ming Xiting mustered his courage and softly asked, "Are you asleep? If not, could you take me... home?"
Lou Yu suddenly propped himself up on the bed and glanced at Ming Xiting before starting to remove his outer robe. Sleeping in outer clothes was certainly uncomfortable.
During this private outing in disguise, aside from the hidden guards around him who would appear if he encountered danger, they would not show themselves in public without his orders.
At this moment, there were only the two of them in the room.
The moonlight dimmed as dusk settled in. Lou Yu casually glanced at Ming Xiting, who was crouched in a corner on a soft couch.
The young man had a slender figure, and the pale yellow gauze draped around him like flowing water, pooling on the ground. Under the gentle caress of the moonlight, Kun Ze's profile appeared delicate and gentle, his cool contours resembling a celestial being descended to earth. Lou Yu couldn't help but feel a moment of daze. This Kun Ze was indeed exceptionally handsome.
As Lou Yu began to undress, Ming Xiting stared at him without blinking. He couldn't just sit on the ground all night, could he? After all, he was now a Kun Ze too; couldn't he show some compassion?
Lou Yu, of course, had no idea what was going through Ming Xiting's mind. In his eyes, this Kun Ze was far too bold, staring so intently at someone from Tian Qian undressing. Didn't he fear that he might do something inappropriate?
Dressed in his undergarments, Lou Yu took two steps forward until he stood before Ming Xiting. At that moment, a faint scent of apricot blossoms wafted from Ming Xiting, seemingly challenging Lou Yu's patience.
Lou Yu gazed at him, and Ming Xiting returned the look with curiosity.
"Hey, why are you staring at me like that? You're about to sleep, but I need to go home. If Ye Chen finds out I'm missing tomorrow, he'll definitely come looking for me at Ming Manor. What if he can't find me and reports it to the authorities? What will you do then?"
It sounded as if he was concerned for Lou Yu. Lou Yu raised an eyebrow and asked, "You want to go back?"
Ming Xiting nodded eagerly, saying, "Of course! You're Tian Qian and I'm Kun Ze; I can't just be alone with you in a room! I still... I still have to get married in the future!" The last part of his sentence carried an inexplicable hint of coyness that even he found somewhat nauseating.
Lou Yu quietly observed him for a few moments before opening the window and making a gesture. Instantly, a figure in black appeared outside and knelt down respectfully. "Master."
Lou Yu turned to Ming Xiting and instructed, "Take him back."
Ming Xiting's eyes brightened at once as he assured Lou Yu earnestly, "Don't worry, my good brother! I absolutely won't let your private matters slip out; you can rest assured!"
Lou Yu's lips twitched slightly. Who was calling him 'brother'?
The black-clad figure paused for a moment upon hearing Ming Xiting's words but complied nonetheless, swiftly knocking Ming Xiting unconscious and taking him back to Ye Chen's courtyard.
When Ming Xiting woke up the next day, he found himself sprawled on the stone table in the courtyard.
It was early, and he was roused by the chirping of birds. Ming Xiting rubbed the back of his head, which throbbed slightly, and stretched his sore arms.
"What's wrong with these people? Could they not wake me up? They just left me here in the middle of the night," he muttered under his breath as he made his way to Ye Chen's room. However, as soon as he pushed open the door, a strong scent of Haitang Fragrance mixed with pine wafted over him, nearly overwhelming him. The pine scent carried an intense pressure that instinctively made him lower his head.
Feeling uneasy, Ming Xiting called out loudly, "Ye Chen, are you okay?"
Ye Chen responded with a few hesitant sounds from inside the room.
Then, a chilling voice echoed back, "Young Master Ming, it's time for you to go home."
In an instant, a wave of coldness surged up Ming Xiting's spine. It was Pei Guanjing! He had actually spent the night with Ye Chen. Surely he knew that Ming Xiting had been left outside all night and didn't bother to wake him up, just sleeping soundly with Ye Chen. Those two really...
At that moment, Ming Xiting decided not to take another step forward. He hurriedly called out from behind the screen, "Ye Chen, I'll come find you later," before turning on his heel and rushing back to the Ming residence.
Of course, once outside, he found a stableman to take him home. He couldn't be bothered to walk such a long distance himself.
Recently, Ye Chen and Pei Guanjing had inexplicably entered a cold war. This was mainly reflected in Ye Chen occasionally staying at the Ming residence and not returning home, while Pei Guanjing took on all the responsibilities of healing patients and taking care of children, living the life of a househusband.
