Chapter 74: Meadow Kiss. In broad daylight, those two have nothing better to do than to be there…

Seemingly unable to accept that former lovers would interfere in each other’s lives after breaking up, Yu Shuli’s face was full of expressions: “I never expected that a person as noble and upright as the Second Prince would also have times of using his position for personal revenge.”

Seeing his earnest emotion, Wei Yan couldn’t help but smile and ruffle his hair: “I’m just joking with you.”

Seeing Yu Shuli’s confusion, his voice became serious: “No one wants the person they care about to be hurt. Now that the palace coup is imminent, the Second Prince’s actions are obvious. Sometimes, giving up on letting a lover rush forward against the current is just to protect him. Since ancient times, palace coups and internal strife have always involved bloodshed and sacrifice. Every military general faces a narrow escape from death. If possible, the Second Prince would definitely hope that he could live a mediocre and ordinary life, which would be better than charging into battle on the front lines. What’s more… under the current circumstances, the selected military generals don’t even have time for training, and the battlefield will soon spread to the Imperial Palace. Therefore, self-preservation is the smart thing to do.”

Yu Shuli’s eyes flickered slightly, deeply moved.

He picked at his fingers and muttered softly: “Wei Yan… are you… actually also worried about me?”

Wei Yan turned his head: “Ji’an, I’m family now.”

Yu Shuli recalled a long time ago when he had shouted hoarsely that he wasn’t even considered his family, and if something happened to him, he wouldn’t even have the right to see him one last time.

Yu Shuli knew that Wei Yan, like the Second Prince, must have worries and dissatisfaction in his heart, but he had never asked him to give up his military power, nor had he ever stopped him from realizing his ambitions.

Finally understanding Wei Yan’s meaning, and finally realizing his difficulties, Yu Shuli’s heart ached. “Xianqing… I… I will cherish my life. On the battlefield, being wrapped in horsehide after death is not something I can guarantee to avoid every time, but I promise, I will do my best to keep myself alive.”

Wei Yan responded softly, then showed a reluctant smile: “Of course I support you.”

“Also… about Wanyan Jun…” Yu Shuli said, but stopped when he saw Wei Yan’s expression change again.

“Xianqing, what’s wrong?” Why does his expression change so much when this fake Third Prince is mentioned?

Wei Yan has never been an emotionally expressive person. The only people who can cause such emotional fluctuations in him, apart from Yu Shuli, are this Wanyan Jun…

Yu Shuli couldn’t help but have a ridiculous guess. He tugged at Wei Yan’s sleeve: “Don’t tell me… you had something going on with him when he entered the Palace as a hostage?”

“No wonder… no wonder his tone towards you was so sarcastic just now…”

Yu Shuli waved his hand magnanimously: “If you had said earlier that he was an ex, I wouldn’t be so petty.”

He said that, but his hand unconsciously grabbed Wei Yan’s clothes, wrinkling his neat outer robe.

“There is no ex.” Wei Yan took his hand and pulled him closer: “From beginning to end, there has only been you.”

“I only want you.” He buried his head in the side of Yu Shuli’s neck, his breath against Yu Shuli’s ear, his voice low and hoarse: “So… can you… only have me too?”

Yu Shuli couldn’t help but laugh: “What nonsense are you talking about? When have I ever had anyone else? Hasn’t it always been just you?”

“If it were in the past…” Wei Yan suddenly stopped, cutting off his words. He held Yu Shuli’s shoulders and said unreasonably: “Then you have to swear that no matter what happens in the future, you can only have me.”

Yu Shuli nodded in agreement: “Okay, okay… I swear…”

“If you break your oath, then I’ll punish you…” Wei Yan was dazed, as if thinking about suitable wording.

Yu Shuli quickly took over: “Then punish me to die a horrible death!”

Wei Yan frantically covered his mouth, his voice stern: “Don’t talk nonsense!”

“Such a big reaction…” Yu Shuli’s heart was both bitter and joyful. Even when it came to swearing, he still couldn’t bear for him to suffer.

This man really is.

Wei Yan then said: “The words just now don’t count. If you break your oath, then I’ll punish you to never have a lover in this life.”

Yu Shuli blinked and smiled: “Okay.” He hooked his finger around Wei Yan’s collar and pulled him closer, “But… does Prime Minister Wei really think he is punishing me like this?”

He smacked his lips: “If I don’t have a lover, a lifetime of fleeting romances wouldn’t be bad either…”

“Don’t even think about it!” Wei Yan gritted his teeth.

Suddenly, cheers rang out from all around.

Wei Yan raised his eyes and looked at the meadow outside.

The crowd immediately swarmed towards the center of the meadow. After a short while, everything became silent again.

Zhong Nian stood in the middle of the meadow and raised the hand of this year’s Examination’s Top Place Winner.

Seeing the familiar figure on the meadow finally stand out, Wei Yan’s eyes relaxed.

It seems… they will all firmly choose to protect the person they want to protect.

No matter how difficult the future is, they will spare no effort… even to death.

“What’s going on? It’s so lively. Have the Examination’s Top Place Winner and the other graduates been selected?” Yu Shuli asked curiously and was about to turn around, but Wei Yan held the back of his head.

“Wei Yan?”

Just as Yu Shuli was about to frown, a burning kiss landed.

“Not here…” Yu Shuli looked away shyly.

Wei Yan didn’t want to hear him refuse, so he bit down directly to seal his words.

Unlike the teasing and ambiguous kiss during the last intimate encounter, this kiss changed from heavy to light. At the beginning, Wei Yan bit down hard, first firmly fixing Yu Shuli in place, as if afraid that he would refuse and push him away. The strength in his hands was extremely great, and his lips and tongue almost devoured the person completely.

Seeing that the person did not resist, he pried open Yu Shuli’s lips and teeth and entangled him gently and slowly.

The herbal scent on his body was the same as always. Yu Shuli felt the pungent, cold bitterness and finally became intoxicated and gradually fell.

His hands slowly wrapped around Wei Yan’s shoulders, willingly being devoured and stained with all the scent.

Suddenly, his tongue felt a sharp pain.

Yu Shuli opened his hazy, watery eyes and mumbled: “Wei Yan… don’t bite… it hurts…”

Wei Yan lowered his eyes, not closing them. The corners of his eyes were red, completely unaware.

The dense kisses intertwined with the fire in his chest, making it almost impossible to distinguish between day and night.

“Little General!” Zhong Nian saw Yu Shuli’s figure hidden in the corner by the carriages and horses and ran over happily: “You’re here… I’ve been looking everywhere…”

He was about to say something when he realized that there was another figure stacked behind the Little General.

Taking a closer look, it was Prime Minister Wei!

Taking an even closer look!

Wow! The two of them were kissing!

What a passionate scene!

Zhong Nian’s ears turned hot, and his legs trembled.

The grand occasion of the military examination that he was about to report was swallowed back into his stomach. He turned his head stiffly and walked away, muttering to himself as he walked: “Eh? The Little General isn’t here… Ah, I must have seen it wrong… There’s no one here.”

Seeing him come back so quickly, Ding Sheng couldn’t help but frown: “Is the Little General dissatisfied with the candidates?”

Zhong Nian’s face was flushed red, and he only shook his head.

“What do you mean? Why are you back so quickly? Didn’t you see the Little General?” Ding Sheng was sharp-eyed. After looking around, he also saw Yu Shuli in the corner. He pointed his finger: “Look, isn’t he over there?”

He saw Zhong Nian shaking his head straight, and his temper flared up: “I’m going to find the Little General.”

“Don’t!” Zhong Nian quickly used his hands and feet to stop him.

Ding Sheng was puzzled: “Why are you stopping me?”

“The Little General is busy!” Zhong Nian said through gritted teeth.

“What important things can he be busy with at this time? The spring examination is the most important thing.” Ding Sheng moved his chin: “I see him standing there, looking idle.”

“Hey! Just listen to me!” Zhong Nian tried to struggle: “I’m telling you, that really is a very important thing!”

“What very important thing is more important than the spring examination?” Ding Sheng took a closer look: “Isn’t Prime Minister Wei also there? Are you afraid to go over because of him? He’s not some millennium demon, what’s there to be afraid of?”

Zhong Nian had already suffered once from not seeing clearly due to a bad angle. He advised: “Hey, if you’re not afraid of being assassinated in the future, just listen to me! That person really can’t be provoked!”

“Where’s the harm in saying a few words?” Ding Sheng’s expression was doubtful. He walked forward stubbornly, muttering as he walked: “It’s impossible for two people to be kissing there in broad daylight for no reason, right?”

Ding Sheng probably wouldn’t believe it if he said it, but they really were kissing.

Zhong Nian covered his face: “Good luck.”

Ding Sheng came back shortly after, walking with the same hand and foot, his face flushed: “The world is going downhill! It’s really! Unspeakable… The General shouldn’t have found such an improper person!”

“Did you interrupt them?” Zhong Nian asked carefully.

“Of course not!” Ding Sheng gritted his teeth: “I’m not blind, of course I saw what they were doing after walking a few steps.”

Zhong Nian was stunned.

He seemed to be the blind one.

“Could it be that you went there yourself, interrupted them, and were scolded back?” Ding Sheng glanced at him and complained: “You didn’t tell me earlier… If you had reminded me, I wouldn’t have rushed over.”

Zhong Nian shook his head: “I wasn’t scolded, I escaped by playing dumb.”

Ding Sheng widened his eyes and looked at him with an expression that said, “Are you really stupid?”

Zhong Nian mumbled, feeling very wronged: “I am really stupid, but I really did remind you.” Didn’t you not believe me?

“Forget it, forget it.” Ding Sheng waved his hand, staring vigilantly at the passing crowd. “We have to help the Little General guard this last line of defense, and make sure that no one rushes over rashly again.”

Zhong Nian nodded, working hard and complaining, acting as a patrol guard with Ding Sheng for Wei Yan and Yu Shuli.

When Wei Yan let go of Yu Shuli, he had kissed him almost to the point of suffocation.

Yu Shuli gasped for breath, tears uncontrollably sliding down the corners of his eyes, and their neat collars were pulled into a mess during the movements.

Wei Yan lowered his head and gently kissed the red mole below Yu Shuli’s neck.

Yu Shuli hurriedly pushed him away: “Okay, stop it! Someone will really come over in a while!”

He turned his head and saw, jumping in shock: “Sure enough! The Examination’s Top Place Winner has been selected! The Ministry of Rites is already clearing the venue! Aren’t we going back?! We’re derelicting our duties!” He couldn’t bear it any longer and slapped Wei Yan’s chest: “In broad daylight, you really are a lecherous devil!”

This soft palm scattered Wei Yan’s messy and flustered thoughts, and he couldn’t help but smile: “It’s my fault, okay?”

Yu Shuli glared at him: “It’s your fault, but will you dare to do it again next time?”

Wei Yan nodded with a low laugh: “You know me best, my husband.”

Yu Shuli pushed him, laughing and scolding: “Move aside.”

Wei Yan made room for him and kindly pointed to the position of his collar: “At least tidy up before going out, otherwise everyone will know what good things you and I have done.”

“Who says it has to be you and me?” Yu Shuli said one thing but meant another: “It could also be with other lovers… for example…”

Before he could say the following words, his wrist was pulled back again.

Meeting Wei Yan’s deep gaze, Yu Shuli shrank his neck.

Wei Yan sighed, his voice a little doting: “Why can’t you learn to be good?” His movements were merciless, and a punitive bite landed on the corner of Yu Shuli’s lips again, leaving a conspicuous mark.

Yu Shuli pushed him in a flurry: “Are you a dog?!” Biting him again!

Although it was a harmless and elegant pastime, he, Yu Shuli, didn’t have the nerve to run out so brazenly after doing this!

Wei Yan did not push his luck any further. He raised his hand and slowly tidied up Yu Shuli’s collar, as if to compensate for those presumptuous actions before. This time, the movements were gentle to the extreme.

Yu Shuli looked at his lowered eyes with a serious gaze, and for a moment, he was a little embarrassed again.

From the straight eyebrows to the slightly sunken eye sockets, the long eyelashes, the high nose bridge, the two lips that looked unfeeling but were actually extremely soft…

Wei Yan… seems to be quite good-looking…

No wonder so many women in The Capital like him…

Wei Yan used to say in a green tea manner that no one looked up to him, and Yu Shuli knew that he was talking nonsense.

But in the blink of an eye, he curved the corners of his mouth again.

Now such a good-looking person belongs to him.

He is all his.

Wei Yan slowly and methodically tidied up Yu Shuli’s clothes and looked him up and down again, and only released Yu Shuli when he seemed to see that he was unharmed. “Okay, go ahead.”

Yu Shuli was a little dissatisfied when he saw him looking like he was admiring his own work. “Just like that?” He snorted: “Sure enough, you don’t cherish me anymore after you’ve gotten me.”

Wei Yan smiled and tapped his head: “How can you have such strange ideas in your head? Where am I not cherishing you? If I didn’t cherish you, would I still help you tidy up your clothes?”

“You used to…” Yu Shuli wriggled and pulled at the corner of his clothes, but suddenly felt that he was being too pretentious, and let go stiffly.

He said as if nothing had happened: “Forget it, it’s nothing.”

Wei Yan raised his eyebrows and pulled him back again, this time giving him a light kiss on the corner of his lips: “Okay, go get busy. I’ll wait for you.”

Yu Shuli finally smiled. “You’re sensible.”

He was grumbling and about to leave when he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head for no reason, and strange fragments seemed to flash through his mind.

He faintly seemed to see Wanyan Jun seven or eight years ago… and… Wei Yan.

These memories… had never appeared before…

He realized something slowly and suddenly turned his head.

Wei Yan did not ignore the sudden change in his eyes.

His heart skipped a beat: “Ji’an…?”

Yu Shuli fell down just like that, without any warning.
