Lou Yu nodded in satisfaction at Ming Xiting's perceptiveness, then released his hand, turned his back to the railing, 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 he had an affair with Ye Chen. Could it be that he shared some undisclosed past with Ye Chen and Pei Guanjing?
Lou Yu stood close to Ming Xiting, allowing Ming Xiting to naturally catch a whiff of the subtle fragrance emanating from Lou Yu. It was an indescribable scent; if it had to be described, it would be the aroma of a forest.
A deep and mysterious fragrance lingered in the air, making it impossible to pinpoint which type of tree or flower it came from—just a pure, nature-filled essence of the woods.
Just catching a hint of that fragrance brought Ming Xiting immense joy, calming his racing heart.
Ming Xiting couldn't help but frown. How could such a delightful scent come from someone with such a foul temperament as Tian Qian? It truly felt like a waste.
Later on, Ming Xiting was led by Lou Yu to an inn. This inn happened to be on the top floor behind the window he had just seen. He couldn't fathom why Lou Yu would choose to stay so high up without an elevator in ancient times; it must be exhausting to go up and down those stairs.
Ming Xiting dared not sit on the bed; at that moment, he felt as if he were a servant and wouldn't dare compete with Lou Yu for the bedding. Thus, he pressed his lips together and cautiously glanced at Lou Yu, who was peacefully asleep on the bed, completely 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 please 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 clothing was never comfortable.
During this discreet visit while disguised, aside from the Dark Guard hidden around him who would appear if he encountered danger, they would not show themselves in public without his command.
At this moment, there were only the two of them in the room.
The moonlight dimmed as night deepened. 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 momentary daze. This Kun Ze was indeed exceptionally handsome.
As Lou Yu began to undress, Ming Xiting's eyes were fixed on him without blinking. He couldn't just sit on the ground all night, could he? After all, he was now a Kun Ze too; shouldn't he show some tenderness?
Lou Yu, however, had no idea what Ming Xiting was thinking. In his eyes, this Kun Ze was far too bold, staring unabashedly at a Tian Qian undressing. Didn't he fear that something inappropriate might happen?
Dressed in undergarments, Lou Yu took two steps forward to stand in front of 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 intently, and Ming Xiting returned the look with curiosity.
"Hey, why are you staring at me like that? You need to sleep, but I have to go home. If Ye Chen finds out I'm missing tomorrow, he'll definitely come looking for me at Ming Mansion. What if he can't find me and reports it to the authorities? What will you do then?"
His words seemed to express concern for Lou Yu. Lou Yu raised an eyebrow and asked, "You want to go back?"
Ming Xiting nodded eagerly, saying, "Of course! You're a Tian Qian and I'm a Kun Ze; I can't just be alone with you in this room! I still... still have to get married!" At the end of his statement, there was an inexplicable hint of coyness in Ming Xiting's tone that even he found somewhat repulsive.
Lou Yu quietly assessed him for a moment before opening the window and making a gesture. Instantly, a figure in black appeared outside and knelt down respectfully. "Master," the figure said.
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 spill your secrets; you can rest easy!"
Lou Yu's lips twitched slightly. Who was calling him 'brother'?
The figure in black paused for a moment upon hearing Ming Xiting's words but complied nonetheless, 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 morning, and he had been awakened by the chirping of birds. Ming Xiting rubbed the back of his head, which throbbed slightly, and stretched his sore arms.
"Why can't people just wake me up? Is it that hard? Leaving me here in the middle of the night," he muttered to himself as he made his way to Ye Chen's room. 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 a sense of foreboding, Ming Xiting called out loudly, "Ye Chen, are you okay?"
Ye Chen responded with a couple of hesitant sounds from inside the room.
Then, a chilling voice reached Ming Xiting's ears: "Young Master Ming, you should go home."
A wave of coldness surged up Ming Xiting's spine. It was Pei Guanjing! He had actually spent the night with Ye Chen. He must know that Ming Xiting had slept outside and hadn’t bothered to wake him up; they both just went on sleeping as if nothing happened. Those two really...
At that moment, Ming Xiting decided not to take another step forward. Instead, he hurriedly called out from behind the screen, "Ye Chen, I'll find you later," before turning on his heel and rushing back to the Ming Family.
Of course, once outside, he found a stable hand to take him home. He couldn't be bothered to walk such a long distance himself.
Recently, an inexplicable cold war had begun between Ye Chen and Pei Guanjing. This was mainly manifested by Ye Chen occasionally staying at the Ming Family and no longer returning home. Meanwhile, Pei Guanjing took on all the responsibilities of healing patients, raising children, and cooking, living the life of a househusband.
