Tiance

When Bai Jincheng heard Zhao Zhen's question, he froze immediately, holding his longevity at a loss.Changsheng babbled unhappily—keep throwing it!What a worry!

After a long time, he finally regained his consciousness, and said slowly: "Why do you even know?"

Zhao Zhen looked calm: "Gu Lan told me."

Gu Lan!You gossipy gossip!What are you doing, the commander of the imperial guards, you go to the teahouse to tell stories!

Bai Jincheng really wanted to grab Gu Lan and roar immediately, but Changsheng was still babbling in his hand, so he had to put the child down silently, sat beside Zhao Zhen, and sighed sadly: "I'm really unlucky..."

He told Zhao Zhen everything about the past two days.

"Huh? So it's not a girl who disguised herself as a man?" Zhao Zhen frowned, "Still peeping at you in the shower?!" I don't know why I'm a little ballsy.

"Hmm... so didn't I come here to comfort you?" Bai Jincheng said depressedly, "What's wrong with that man? If you want to talk about beauties, aren't Yutang and Di Qing much prettier than me?"

Zhao Zhen looked him up and down, and said with a smile, "Maybe he likes you."

Bai Jincheng trembled in disgust, "Stop talking, I'm so disgusted."

"Didn't you say that same-sex love is very common in your place? You still engage in discrimination?" Zhao Zhen was quite puzzled.

"I'm not discriminating!" Bai Jincheng was afraid that he would misunderstand him, so he quickly explained, "It's you instead. Don't you feel uncomfortable when you are pursued by a man you don't know? I don't like him. It’s a girl who treats me like this, and I’m also disgusted, it has nothing to do with gender.”

"That's right," Zhao Zhen nodded, "Then what are you going to do?"

Bai Jincheng gritted his teeth resentfully: "I've already ordered someone to investigate that Hua Chong, wait until I catch him, hehe."

"Are you so sure that that person is the flower picker?" Zhao Zhen smiled, "What if it's not?"

"Even if not, this Hua Chong should be caught." Bai Jincheng took it for granted.

Zhao Zhen shook his head: "What I mean is, if you catch the person who is pursuing you, that person is not as criminal as Hua Chong. After seeing you take a bath, what can you do to him?"

Bai Jincheng was worried, and Chang Sheng sat on his lap, seeing his frowning expression, he thought it was amused and giggled.

"Little thing with no conscience!" Bai Jincheng couldn't help pinching his little face, "How kind I am to you, you still laugh at me! I learned it from your father!"

Zhao Zhen was also shot while lying down, "What does this have to do with me, I didn't laugh at you."

"But you didn't comfort me either!" Bai Jincheng was very bitter.

Zhao Zhen curled his lips and said, "What's the comfort? Today Gu Lan said that you have a lot of good luck. If you hadn't been peeked at taking a shower, this person pursued you so enthusiastically, wouldn't you have a little bit of it?" Does he have a sense of accomplishment? He mobilized so many people to send him flowers and love poems!"

Bai Jincheng felt that he was delusional again, because he felt that Zhao Zhen's words were sour.

"Even if he didn't peek at me in the shower, even if he was a beautiful woman in disguise, I wouldn't be happy at all," he said.

"Why?" Zhao Zhen looked at him suspiciously, "Didn't you worry about not being able to find a wife before?"

Because I like you!He really wanted to say that, but he held back desperately, and said melancholy: "You don't understand even if you say it."

Zhao Zhen felt a bit ballsy and depressed—how did you know that I didn't understand?Hmph, there are secrets now, everything was told to me before!

So he snatched Changsheng back, a little angry: "If you don't say anything, you can go back, Changsheng and I are going to sleep."

Bai Jincheng was stunned.Zhao Zhen had never been angry with him before, and usually even if he drove him away, he would just jokingly say it. He had never spoken in such a blunt tone like now, and he didn't know what to do for a while.

At this time, Zhao Zhen also realized that there was something wrong with his attitude, so he had to soften his tone and said: "It's getting late, you should go back and rest. You won't be able to get out after the palace gate is unlocked."

Why haven't I seen you mention the key to the palace before?

Bai Jincheng looked at him suspiciously, and vaguely realized something in his heart, but he couldn't believe it, so he just stayed there.

Seeing him staring at him absent-mindedly, Zhao Zhen suddenly felt a little guilty—everyone has a secret, and it's normal for him not to tell him, how could he be angry with him because of this?

"That... I'm sorry," he mumbled, "I didn't mean to be angry, but I just felt that you were a bit out of touch just now..." But I still feel a little uncomfortable... It's true that a good friend has a secret but doesn't tell him. So depressing.

Bai Jincheng heaved a sigh of relief, and smiled softly: "It's okay, I just don't know what to say, and I didn't intend to hide it from you. If I think it through in the future, I will definitely tell you."

As soon as he relaxed, his handsome brows stretched out, and he smiled so softly, Zhao Zhen couldn't help but stare blankly for a moment, and couldn't help muttering: "Actually, that person is right, you are really pretty..."

"What?" Bai Jincheng thought he had heard wrong.

"It's nothing!" Zhao Zhen said anxiously, "Go back quickly, it's so late."

"Wait!" Seeing him like this, Bai Jincheng was finally sure that he had heard correctly, and immediately smiled brightly and leaned over, "Zhenzhen, did you praise me for looking good just now?"

Zhao Zhen pushed his face away with a look of disgust: "What are you doing with such a smug smile... It's not that I didn't praise you."

But I didn't take it so seriously when I praised it before!And it’s never been praised before!

Could it be that I was actually a little bit hopeful?Bai Jincheng thought silently.If there was any hope at all, he felt he must have had a hard time keeping his emotions in check.But when he thought of Zhao Zhen's identity, he became worried again.So what if there is hope?How could he be willing to let his family Zhenzhen face those worldly pressures?

He fell silent all of a sudden, and his eyes dimmed a bit.

"What's wrong with you?" Zhao Zhen looked at him worriedly.

"It's okay." He shook his head with a smile, pinched Chang Sheng's face, and said, "Then I'll go back, and I won't be able to get out any later."

Looking at his back when he went out, Zhao Zhen always felt that his smile just now seemed a little sad.

Will he be sad too?

In Zhao Zhen's impression, Bai Jincheng has always been a very strong, optimistic and forthright person. Even when he told him about his life experience, he never had such emotions.

He suddenly felt heavy in his heart, until he fell asleep, Bai Jincheng's smile kept flashing before his eyes.

Bai Jincheng, who returned to Kaifeng Mansion, didn't feel sleepy all night, so he simply ran to the roof to drink.Zhan Zhao in the small courtyard next door heard the movement and came out to take a look, and found that there was already an empty jar beside him, and he was drinking from the second jar now.

"What's the matter with you, Hanzhang?" Zhan Zhaofei went up to the roof and sat beside him and asked with concern, "Why are you drinking alone here? Are you bothering about the flower delivery man?"

Bai Jincheng shook his head, and suddenly wanted to find someone to complain about, so he asked, "Xiao Zhan, have you ever liked anyone?"

Zhan Zhao shook his head blankly, "Are you trapped by love?"

"Almost," Bai Jincheng smiled wryly, "I like someone, but I can't say it, and I can't be with him."

"Why?" Zhan Zhao was puzzled, "You don't seem like someone who dare not even say that you like it."

"Because... because my liking will hurt him," Bai Jincheng said in a low voice, "if he is with me, everyone will scold him, and no one will understand him. I don't even dare to let him find out how I feel , he is too gentle, even if he doesn't mean that to me, he will be troubled by it."

Zhan Zhao opened his eyes wide, and asked hesitantly, "You...you don't think you fell in love with a married woman, did you?!"

"It's worse than that," Bai Jincheng smiled wryly, "he's a man."

Zhan Zhao took a deep breath, and after a while, said hesitantly, "Actually, it's nothing. It's not that there are no homosexual love affairs in Jianghu. As long as it's sincere, reasonable people will understand it."

"But if this person is not from the Jianghu, what if he still holds a high position in the imperial court?"

"You, who are you talking about?" Zhan Zhao thought for a while, then took another breath, "Could it be... Could it be Master Bao?!"

Bai Jincheng was feeling sad at first, but suddenly he laughed angrily, "What is that brat thinking! Mr. Bao is so old, and he still has his wife!"

"Then who among the people you know is a high-ranking and powerful person in the court?" Zhan Zhao suddenly widened his eyes and stared at him for a while, "You, don't tell me that I am an official, an official, an official... "

The sudden change in Bai Jincheng's face let him know that he guessed right.

Zhan Zhao didn't slow down for a long time.

"So you know why I did this?" Bai Jincheng laughed at himself, "It's wishful thinking, right?"

"Hanzhang, don't be like this," Zhan Zhao was still shocked, but seeing him like this, he comforted him first, "Actually, you're pretty good, but the two of you don't have a destiny."

Bai Jincheng nodded: "Of course I know that I am very good. Girls who like me can line up from the gate of Kaifeng Mansion to the gate of the city."

Zhan Zhao didn't know whether to laugh or what to do, so he could only say, "I won't say anything. If you really can't help it in the future, I will stop you."

Bai Jincheng patted him on the shoulder and said gratefully: "I just told you because I knew you were reliable. I kept it in my heart for fear that something would go wrong. Now it's much more comfortable to tell you that."

Zhan Zhao sighed, grabbed his wine jug and took a sip, sighed, "You let me know such a big gossip, it's a bit exciting, let me take it easy."

After a while, he asked again: "If he likes you too... what are you going to do? It's very painful not being able to be with the person you like, and you can see it yourself. You don't want him to face gossip, but Are you willing to let him feel sad?"

Bai Jincheng smiled and said: "If he likes me as deeply as I do, I'm definitely not willing to part with it. The worst... The worst is to face the difficulties and prove to those people that I am qualified to stand by his side."

"But that's difficult." Zhan Zhao said.

"I'm not afraid of difficulties, I'm just afraid that he doesn't have me in his heart."
