Lock Xin

Books stacked high beside the table covered the falling spot of light, Yeluning raised his sleeve slightly, held the brush on the side with his fingertips, and drew a circle heavily, the ink was soaked, he frowned slightly, the blue His eyes were abnormally cold, and his rosy thin lips were slightly pursed.

The guard standing in the distance was tall and slender, standing still for a long time without moving a step.A gust of wind by the window blew the broken hair on his temples, and they all fell on his cheeks. He raised his slender knuckles under his sleeves and brushed them away. His fair face was very ordinary, but the eyes under those thick eyebrows were Very bright.

He turned slightly sideways pretending to casually look down at Yeluning's handsome face, his eyes slightly absent-minded.

Yeluning put down his pen and ink, raised his hand to caress his frowning brows, there was a faint hint of tiredness between his brows and eyes.The guard noticed a trace of strangeness on Yeluning's face, and he was very worried, but he took a step forward, but he didn't take it out.

Zi Xin lowered her head in a lonely way, he is just an ordinary bodyguard now, if he gets too close to Ye Luning, I am afraid it will make him suspicious.

Yeluning closed the book spread out in front of him, he raised his hand and picked up the book on one side, his eyes fell on the guard in blue clothes, and Zi Xin's eyes overlapped with Yeluning's in an instant, he was afraid that Yeluning would look at him When something happened, he hurriedly lowered his head and retreated to the door.

Yeluning looked at the guard's dark eyes, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.He didn't expect Zixin to use this method to sneak into the palace and stay by his side, but even if Zixin's face changed a lot, he still couldn't hide it from his eyes.He has shared the bed with Zi Xin for many days, and even touched every part of Zi Xin's body, so he has a great understanding of Zi Xin's figure.Even though Zixin was dressed in ordinary bodyguard clothing, it still couldn't conceal his slender and tall figure.

Zixin was a little nervous, he had stayed with Yeluning for less than half a day, if Yeluning found out, it would be difficult for him to sneak into the palace.Zixin raised her head slightly and saw Yeluning looking into the distance, and slowly felt relieved.

Yeluning looked at the thick scroll in his hand, his eyes narrowed, and he pretended to throw it aside inadvertently.Zixin looked at the scroll in front of her, bent over to pick it up and took a few steps forward to deliver it to Yeluning's desk.

"Stop." Yeluning looked at Zixin's back and called, his voice as cold as ever.

Zixin stopped and turned around slowly. He even thought that Yeluning was angry, but he looked up and saw that there was nothing unusual about Yeluning's expression, and his heart was still slightly suspended.Perhaps Yeluning treated him too gently on weekdays, he seemed to have forgotten how cold Yeluning was in the palace, and mistakenly thought that Yeluning's nature was extremely gentle and very different from the violence of the Huns.

When Zixin stepped into the hall in the morning, he felt a slight sense of oppression. Even though he had stayed in the room for a long time, he still couldn't adapt to Yeluning's cold face.

"Look up at me." Yeluning said coldly, his clear voice was unusually loud in the empty hall.

Zixin raised his head slowly but did not dare to meet Yeluning's eyes, he was worried that Yeluning would see a trace of embarrassment on his face.

"Are you so afraid of me?" Yeluning looked at Zixin's eyes, which were deeply hidden in her hair, they were dark and bright, and extremely beautiful.

Zi Xin shook his head slightly, Yeluning who was so cold was indeed much scarier than the people who accompanied him during the day, and he had never known the other side of Yeluning, or Yeluning tried his best to get his heart The coldness on his face disappeared.

Zixin was really disappointed to see Yeluning who was so cruel and ruthless, but what was more in his heart was a trace of pity. He didn't know what Yeluning went through when he was young, which made him so indifferent, or maybe Yeluning wanted to get The throne has paid for the hardships that ordinary people cannot bear.

He will never lose his love for Yeluning because of this, and he is willing to stay by Yeluning's side.Love him with all my heart, watching him gradually forget the pain of the past.

"Come here and get closer to me." Yeluning raised his hand, he was a little apprehensive, seeing his cold face, Zixin felt fearful and moved further and further away from him.But Zixin is now staying by his side as a bodyguard, if he treats Zixin too gently, the palace people may become suspicious when they see it.

And Yeluning also wanted to see how deep Zixin's affection for him had been over the past few days, and whether she could accept his true side.Yeluning wants to live with Zi Xin forever, but he can't always pretend to be cruel and violent in front of Zi Xin.

Zixin took a few steps forward and stood by the table, raised her head and boldly looked at Yeluning, without a trace of fear in her eyes.Perhaps as a humble servant, Yeluning never knew how lonely and lonely Yeluning felt when he saw the fear on their faces.

"Why are you not afraid of me anymore?" Yeluning smiled. Just now when he saw Zi Xin standing far away with his head down, he was a little afraid that he would push away the people around him, but now looking at him Zixin's worry is purely superfluous, Zixin has lived with him for many days, and even has a lovely Chen'er, Zixin treats him with deep affection, and she will never leave because of his coldness.

"The master will not kill his subordinates at will, so there is nothing to be afraid of." Zixin's eyes were full of affection, he believed that Yeluning was definitely not as cruel as the rumors said.

"No servant has ever dared to talk to me so boldly. Aren't you afraid that I will execute you in a fit of anger?" Yeluning put down the pen and ink in his hand, looking at Zi Xin's face that was too unfamiliar, he felt a little uncomfortable. As bold as Zi Xin, he wouldn't be so depressed during the day.

"My lord is not killing innocent people indiscriminately." Zi Xin said in a deep voice.Outsiders can see Yeluning's powerful appearance, but they don't know the pain and loneliness in Yeluning's heart.

"Then what kind of person am I?" Yeluning's eyes flashed with light, he hoped to know the real him in Zixin's heart, not a few perfunctory words.

"My lord is kind and generous by nature, and he cherishes the lives of his subordinates, but because of the cruel battles in the court of the Huns, you have to pretend to be extremely indifferent and brutal." Zixin said slowly, looking at the sadness in Yeluning's eyes, he even wanted to He held Yeluning's hand and promised that he would not leave no matter what happened, and that he would always be by Yeluning and the child.

There was a tingling pain in Yeluning's heart, as if all the layers of his coat had been taken off, directly exposing the weakest heart. He stretched out his hand to hold Zi Xin's slender wrist, and a trace of anger ignited in his eyes. For many years, he had never let anyone When people get close to him, he never lets them see the pain in his heart. He would rather be a brutal person in the eyes of outsiders.

Zixin felt a pain in his hand, he frowned slightly, facing Yeluning's anger directly but did not avoid it.He hoped that Yeluning could really let go of everything in the past instead of hiding the pain in his heart.

Yeluning slowly put down his hand, he looked at the red mark on Zixin's white wrist, and felt a little distressed, Zixin is not an outsider, he is the love of his life, he should have told Zixin everything in the past, deliberately concealing it will only Let the rift between them grow deeper and deeper.

Seeing Zi Xin's fair face, Ye Luning parted his lips slightly. He wanted to explain what happened just now to Zi Xin, but Zi Xin was just an ordinary guard, so he shouldn't talk too much to him.

"You go down." Yeluning said coldly, he raised his hand and held the pages of the book beside him, lowered his head and looked at it seriously, but his heart could no longer calm down.

"My lord, it's almost noon and it's time for you to have lunch." Zi Xin didn't move a step, he leaned down slightly and reminded in a low voice.

"Really?" Yeluning looked up to the window, he didn't expect the morning to pass so quickly.

"It's not too late for you to read these scrolls in the afternoon." Zixin looked at Yeluning's slightly pale cheeks. He hadn't told Yeluning in the palace these few days. I'm afraid Yeluning slept late every day. , Even with a strong body, it can't support it.

"You're just an ordinary guard, and it's not your turn to talk to me like this." Ye Luning closed the scroll and looked up at Zi Xin. He also mistakenly thought that Zi Xin minded his sudden anger just now and didn't want to face him anymore. .Yeluning shook his head slightly, he knew Zi Xin's intentions, so why should he be so cautious.

"But as your personal bodyguard, this subordinate has the responsibility to tell you to pay attention to your health." Zi Xin listened to Yeluning's cold words, but did not see any anger on his face.

"Since that's the case, you should always follow me by my side." Yeluning said, even though Zi Xin has concealed his identity, he still feels that Zi Xin is on patrol in the imperial city, and he is by Zi Xin's side. It's also safer.

"Yes." Zixin smiled slightly. He even wanted to stay in Yeluning's room at night, but with Yeluning's indifferent temperament, he would never agree.

"My lord, my subordinates are going down to prepare meals for you." Zi Xin turned and walked towards the door. He looked at the maid standing beside him and suddenly remembered something.

"My lord, what do you want for lunch?" Zixin hurried back, Yeluning's appetite has not been very good recently, he wondered how Yeluning's body was recovering these days, and whether he could eat those greasy meals.

"Anything you want." Yeluning didn't care much about lunch at first, but now he's looking forward to what Zixin will prepare for him.

Zi Xin frowned slightly. He stood by the door and asked the maid Yeluning about her meals in the past few days. He nodded slightly and added some of Yeluning's favorite side dishes.

Looking at the figure by the door, Yeluning opened his mouth to call out Zi Xin's name, but he tried his best to suppress it in his throat, "You, stay and have dinner with me."

Zi Xin froze for a moment, a bodyguard like him could really sit beside the Lord and eat.

"I don't have any appetite sitting alone at the table facing the table full of food." Yeluning was worried that Zixin would be suspicious, so he opened his mouth to explain a few words, but he was also afraid that Zixin would find his embarrassment.

"Okay." Zixin nodded, without thinking too much, he was so happy to have dinner with Yeluning.

Sensing Zixin's gaze on him, Yeluning lowered his head slightly, while Ren Zixin watched intently.
