Gongzhongji

It was an old man I met on the road. He said he wanted to eat candied haws, but he had no money to buy them.I thought he was very pitiful, so I gave it to him. I thought I would give him half of it, but he snatched all my candied haws! "

Qing He couldn't help but laugh: "Oh, young master, you will be deceived no matter what!"

Xia Yan was also very wronged: "Did we expect someone to cheat candied haws?"

Qing He asked again: "Did Master Han not stop you?"

"No. That old gentleman came up to talk to me when Brother Han was called away." Xia Yan replied depressedly, "Later, Brother Han came back and found out that my candied haws had been cheated, and he also laughed at me."

"Oh, my little master, what a fool you are."

Qing He half sighed and half laughed, but didn't want a low laugh to come from outside the window, and a deep male voice answered: "Who is calling our lovely Xiao Yan a fool?"

Xia Yan was taken aback for a moment, and Qing He had already shouted joyfully: "Ah, it's Big Brother Lu who is here!"

Qing He ran to open the door, and sure enough, when the door opened, it was Lu Xinyang standing outside.

Lu Xinyang handed the cloak to Qinghe, nodded with a smile to express his gratitude, turned around and saw Xia Yan sitting in the bathtub, showing a small head, hands lying on the edge of the bucket, his little face was so hot that it was so cute.

Lu Xinyang couldn't help rubbing his nose, and said with a smile, "Xiaoyan, long time no see."

Xia Yan lay on the edge of the bucket with his eyes wide open, and said in surprise, "Brother Xinyang, why are you here?"

"Why, don't you welcome me?" Lu Xinyang pretended to be sad, as if Xia Yan really didn't welcome him.

Xia Yan knew that Lu Xinyang was joking, so he pursed his lips and smiled, and said, "Why, I just didn't expect it. I thought I wouldn't be able to see Brother Xinyang when I came to Su!"

Lu Xinyang glanced at Xia Yan's exposed thin shoulders, couldn't help rubbing his nose again, and looked away unnaturally, and replied casually: "How could that be?"

Seeing that Lu Xinyang kept rubbing his nose, Xia Yan couldn't help asking: "Brother Xinyang, is your nose uncomfortable? Is it too cold here? When I first came here, my face was cracked from the cold, but Brother Han gave me a bottle of noodles." Oil, just apply it!"

Lu Xinyang found a chair on the side and sat down. When Xia Yan mentioned an outsider, he asked, "Brother Han?"

Xia Yan quickly explained: "Brother Han is Brother Wei Zhuowei. He is actually a bodyguard of General Han. Brother Han took good care of me along the way."

Next to him, Qing He brought a bath towel for Xia Yan, and said with a smile, "Master, Big Brother Lu is here, you should come out too."

Xia Yan nodded, and crawled out of the bucket, because Qing He had been by his side since he was a child, and Lu Xinyang was a man, so he didn't care much, so he stood by the bucket to wipe himself, and said, "Brother Han still brought you a I went shopping—I originally bought a bunch of candied haws and wanted to bring them back for Qinghe to eat, but I was tricked by a bad old man!"

Xia Yan couldn't help feeling depressed when talking about this matter, but at this moment Lu Xinyang was staring intently at the delicate skin that appeared and disappeared under the big towel, and didn't pay attention to what Xia Yan said, so he just responded subconsciously: "Is that so?"

"That's right, the young master is really easy to deceive."

Qing He interrupted with a smile. She dried Xia Yan's body and brought him clothes. Her subordinates served him carefully, so she didn't notice Lu Xinyang's flickering eyes.Xia Yan didn't even think about that, and found that Lu Xinyang looked at him unconsciously, but walked in front of Lu Xinyang wearing loose obscene clothes while tying a belt, and said depressedly: "Yes, Qing He and Brother Han They say I'm a fool, even the candied haws will be cheated by others..."

Lu Xinyang withdrew his eyes, his face was as usual, when Xia Yan approached, he stretched out his hand to embrace the little guy, took the dry cloth from Qing He, and said with a smile: "Even candied haws can be cheated away, you, really It's a fool."

Xia Yan wrinkled his small face with a sad expression.

Lu Xinyang chuckled, stopped teasing Xia Yan, let Xia Yan sit on his lap, and said softly, "Sit down, so I can wipe your hair for you."

Xia Yan didn't think there was anything wrong, he sat obediently in Lu Xinyang's arms, and moved his little butt to find a comfortable position, causing Lu Xinyang to rub his nose again.

Xia Yan enjoyed Lu Xinyang's service and asked, "Brother Xinyang, this is the country of Su. Why are you here? Is there something wrong?"

Lu Xinyang gently rubbed Xia Yan's long hair through a soft cloth, and said with a smile: "Is there anything else, of course I came to see you."

"come see me?"

"Yeah, can I rest assured that you come to this unfamiliar place alone?" Lu Xinyang said, "Look at you, even an old man can trick you into taking away your candied haws."

Xia Yan said angrily: "Brother Xinyang, don't mention this matter again!"

Lu Xinyang smiled and said nothing, watching Xia Yan's ears turn red with shame, he couldn't help but feel good.

Xia Yan was bored for a while, then suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly turned around and asked, "Brother Xinyang, is Master very angry?"

Lu Xinyang smiled and said, "Why do you ask such a question?"

Xia Yan said anxiously: "Because I promised to take revenge with my own hands, but not only did I not take revenge, but was sent to Su as a hostage. Master will be angry when he finds out, right?"

Lu Xinyang plucked Xia Yan's hair that was scattered on his shoulders, and said, "It's okay, my uncle won't scold you."

"Really?"

"Ah."

"Oh... But the master hasn't come to see me recently... Are you angry because you found out about this?"

Lu Xinyang lowered his eyes slightly after hearing this, and said softly: "No. Uncle Shi is not in good health recently, and he is recuperating in the valley. I didn't tell him about these things, so he doesn't know yet."

Xia Yan was even more worried: "Then what if the master is in good health and goes to Kang Guo to find me?"

Lu Xinyang seemed to laugh lightly, pondered for a moment, and said: "If this is the case, then I will tell my uncle that you are actually joining forces with Han Shixi to destroy the entire Kang country. Well, such a big deal, probably my uncle Will like it very much."

"But will he believe it?"

"Why don't you believe it?"

"...I don't think I'm such a powerful person...Master must know, too?"

Lu Xinyang smiled, put down the soft cloth, hugged Xia Yan into his arms, pressed against the little guy's tender face, and said softly: "Uncle Shi is too persistent in this matter, blinded by hatred, sometimes he can't see clearly It's the truth. Let's talk again," Lu Xinyang tilted his head slightly, and his lips seemed to brush Xia Yan's earballs inadvertently. Seeing that Xia Yan was innocent and unresponsive, there was only a little confusion and full trust in those bright eyes. Lu Xinyang With a slight smile, he whispered softly in Xia Yan's ear, "I'll help you, right?"

Xia Yan was tickled by Lu Xinyang's exhalation, and couldn't help shrinking his neck, but he didn't think that there was something wrong with the two being so close, so he just asked his doubts: "Can you help me?"

"Yes." Lu Xinyang straightened up, hugged Xia Yan's waist loosely like an ordinary brother, and said with a smile, "If you don't believe my uncle, just say that the matter of the proton is the court's decision, and you are powerless to do anything about it." , Later, after listening to my opinion, I decided to adapt to the situation, and approached Han Shixi to discuss with him how to cooperate internally and externally to destroy Kang. Anyway, the master is not paranoid about the righteousness of the country. If you put it this way, he will not blame him. I will praise you for being ruthless and capable of doing great things."

Xia Yan was depressed: "Spicy? Is this a compliment?"

Lu Xinyang smiled: "To ordinary people, it probably isn't a compliment, but in Tianfeimen, ruthless is a very high-level compliment."

Xia Yan thought about it, and sighed: "Unfortunately, I probably won't be able to become that kind of person in my whole life."

Xia Yan's tone was obviously disappointed, but Lu Xinyang felt it was funny when he heard it, and couldn't help but look at the man in his arms more. Compared with ordinary men, Xia Yan has fair and delicate skin, which belongs to a teenager who has not yet fully grown. The bones look a little slender, the back of the neck is slender, and the collarbone is slightly exposed. Because he is sitting on his own legs, he can't let his feet touch the ground, so at this moment Xia Yan is swinging his little feet. The skin of the feet is originally She didn't see much sunlight, and now she was covered with silver gauze by the bright moonlight. She looked very white and tender, and each toe was round, which was indescribably cute.

In fact, it is just the posture of an ordinary good-looking boy, but in Lu Xinyang's eyes, it has a special charm.

Lu Xinyang looked at the small and round toes for a while, and suddenly came back to his senses. Seeing Xia Yan looking at him, he restrained his thoughts, smiled slightly, and lowered his head to kiss Xia Yan's hair: "It's good for Xiao Yan to stay like this, the rest Let big brother do it for you."

Lu Xinyang chatted with Xia Yan about some things in Tianfeimen, and when Xia Yan's hair was dry, he went to bed with Xia Yan.

Because she was afraid of being discovered by outsiders, Qinghe couldn't prepare more mattresses. Not only did Lu Xinyang and Xia Yan sleep on the same bed, they even covered the same bed with the quilt. Fortunately, the quilt was quite big, and Xia Yan was small. Lu Xinyang simply hugged Xia Yan into his arms, and the two of them were next to each other. Not only would they not be cold, they were even warmer than sleeping alone.

Xia Yan huddled in Lu Xinyang's arms, unconsciously snuggled into the generous chest, and said softly with a lazy nasal voice: "Brother Xinyang's arms are also very comfortable..."

Lu Xinyang's gentle touch stopped on the word "also".

"also?"

Lu Xinyang's voice sank, but Xia Yan didn't notice it.

Xia Yandao: "Yes, Brother Han hugged me like this on the way to Su. Brother Han is so hot, he hugged me like he was hugging a big heater."

Lu Xinyang tightened her arms slightly, and said softly, "Didn't I say you can't get too close to other people?"

Xia Yan thought for a while and explained seriously: "Because the weather is very cold, my coat was wet with snow, Brother Han hugged me because he was afraid that I would catch a cold. I think Brother Xinyang hugged me like this when it was cold before My brother Han is also very kind to me, so he didn't refuse."

"..."

Lu Xinyang felt helpless, but seeing Xia Yan's serious and innocent appearance, he couldn't say anything, so he smoothed Xia Yan's hair, and said: "Be careful, you know? Speaking of which, he and you are strangers who have no relatives and no reason, and met by chance. , being so kind to you, I don’t say that there must be some intentions now, but your identity is sensitive, so I don’t know if there will be any changes in the future.”

Xia Yan nodded seriously: "I know. I didn't tell him that I know martial arts, nor did I tell him about my master and Brother Xinyang."

Lu Xinyang knew that Xia Yan was not an idiot, and even if Xia Yan didn't understand, Qing He would point it out. That woman was smart and loyal, and Lu Xinyang believed that she could protect Xia Yan as well as she has done for more than ten years.

"Well, be careful in the future." Lu Xinyang said, but after thinking about it, he said uneasy, "Xiaoyan, why don't you go back to Tianfeimen with me, I really don't trust you to stay alone."

Xia Yan was stunned, Lu Xinyang also suggested to take him away before, but at that time Xia Yan thought that he could leave the palace at the age of 16, so there was no need to be so impatient, and Xia Yan also wanted to explore the case of his mother, so he declined.But now that Xia Yan has arrived in Kang Country, he may not be able to leave for the rest of his life, and it is obviously impossible to find out about his mother's case. It would be the best choice if he could leave at this time.

But Xia Yan was silent for a moment, but asked: "Will the master be very angry?"

Lu Xinyang brushed Xia Yan's hair lightly with his hand, and said softly: "Don't worry about Shishu, he will understand you."

"But..." Xia Yan hesitated, "I'm a proton..."

"So what?"

"If I leave, Su State will start a war against Kang State." Xia Yan said worriedly.

Lu Xinyang sneered and said, "Even if those people treat you like that, do you still have to worry about them?"

"I……"

Xia Yan thought of Xia Hao, that dinner party, and that slap.

Xia Yan also thought of the empress mother's withered palms before death, the icy strength with which she was holding herself, and the last gloomy gaze in her closed eyes.

"I don't know..." Xia Yanfu murmured in Lu Xinyang's arms. Some things may not necessarily explain why, but they just do it instinctively, and when they do it, they don't even think about why. It is a very simple logic: Xia Yan is a prince who has been neglected, so he will be chosen as the proton.But since that palace is not good to Xia Yan, why does Xia Yan still bear the fate of the proton for this palace?

Xia Yan didn't think about it, not even Qing He.Of course, judging from their position at the time, it would be useless for them to even think about it.But there are two completely different attitudes between not thinking about it at all and thinking about it and having no other way.

Xia Yan fell into silence, and Lu Xinyang didn't force him. He patted Xia Yan on the back lightly and comforted him: "It doesn't matter, no matter what you choose, I will support you."

Xia Yan quickly fell asleep in Lu Xinyang's arms. In this warm embrace, even if there was something on his mind, Xia Yan could sleep comfortably, as if when he woke up, the owner in his embrace would solve all the troubles.

(0.64 fresh coins) Gongzhong Ji 35 Wolf vs. Wolf

After a night without dreams, Xia Yan woke up comfortably in the morning of the second day, only to find that Lu Xinyang had already woken up, just leaning on the head of the bed with his arms around Xia Yan's shoulders, as if waiting for Xia Yan to wake up.

Xia Yan's face turned red, he got up quickly, and said with a sip, "Brother Xinyang has woken up."

Lu Xinyang hugged Xia Yan in front of him, let him sit on his lap, gathered Xia Yan's skirt with his hands, and said: "Your elder brother, I get up to practice swords every day before dawn in the door, how can you do it? Steal a little laziness and get a good night's sleep, let the master know and you won't be punished to stand on the stake."

Xia Yan lowered his head in shame, and said, "Brother Xinyang can wake me up..."

Lu Xinyang pushed back Xia Yan's hair hanging on his shoulders, and said with a smile: "No, there are so many people here anyway, and I can't go out to practice swords. Seeing that you sleep so peacefully, I don't want to wake you up." Lu Xinyang After stroking Xia Yan's delicate cheeks, his eyes fell on those two rosy lips, and he said softly: "Look at you, you are so thin...you need to grow some flesh..."

Lu Xinyang wraps his hands around Xia Yan's waist. The boy's waist is already thin, and Xia Yan is thinner than his peers, so this waist is even more slender. Although it is not as extreme as it can be grasped, it still shows in Lu Xinyang's big hands. The ultimate beauty that seems to be completely grasped by people.

Xia Yan looked down, twisted his body, and said unconvinced: "I will grow taller and stronger in the future!"

Tall and strong?Lu Xinyang glanced at Xia Yan's slap-sized face, and suddenly felt that it was very funny to apply this adjective to Xia Yan.

But Lu Xinyang didn't tease him anymore, because Xia Yan's twisting of his body just now made him a little embarrassed.Lu Xinyang embraced Xia Yan with both hands and let Xia Yan sit aside, he got off the bed and turned his back to Xia Yan, put on a coat to cover up his desire to be teased, and smiled at the same time: "Then I will wait for Xiao Yan to grow up. "

Xia Yan didn't notice Lu Xinyang's strangeness at all, but hugged a large ball of quilt and opened his big black eyes, shouting full of enthusiasm: "I will definitely grow up!"

Rabbits grow up to be rabbits too.

Looking at Xia Yan who was practicing meditation, Lu Xinyang thought so.

But recently this rabbit has become different from before...

Lu Xinyang thought suddenly.

The rabbit is a little more lively than before.

It's easy to discover this. In the past, Rabbit would often sit down on the steps with his chin in his hand in a daze, or quietly lean against Brother Wolf's arms, as if he didn't think about anything, or he seemed to have something on his mind but didn't want to say it.

But the rabbit said a lot last night.

Lu Xinyang is not sure, is it because of leaving the palace that the rabbit has changed like this, or is it because of the unmasked "Brother Han"?

Most people who seem quiet just haven't met someone who can open up their hearts and talk.

Although Lu Xinyang is very willing to see Xia Yan happy, but he does not hope that Han Fu's appearance will make Xia Yan cheerful.

Lu Xinyang has always wanted to take Xia Yan away, Xia Yan is a very simple child, the palace or a foreign country is not suitable for Xia Yan, if it is in Tianfei Gate, even if Xia Yan is still so simple and kind, at least Lu Xinyang thinks he has the ability to protect him.Before, because Uncle You Tianqi insisted on revenge, Lu Xinyang didn't bring up the matter after Xia Yan tactfully refused, but now You Tianqi...is seriously injured, and he is cultivating in the back mountain of Tianfeigu, so he has no time to take care of Xia in a short time It's about home...

Lu Xinyang secretly sighed, a little regretful, but he was unwilling to force Xia Yan.

哢！

A very slight sound from the eaves came to Lu Xinyang's ears. Lu Xinyang's face froze, turned over to the beam, and dived out of the window on the other side.He hooked himself to the room and looked around, but he didn't see anyone.

Lu Xinyang was a little strange.Xia Yan is a proton, if the Su people want to monitor him, there is no need to spend so much effort, like that Han Shixi, who directly sent a few servants to follow Xia Yan, no one can say anything.That being the case, why would anyone want to peep?

Lu Xinyang turned back into the house, and just stabilized his figure on the beam, when he heard the announcement from the servant outside: "Master, Master, Mr. Han is here."

When Xia Yan heard the transmission, he stopped practicing. When he opened his eyes and saw that there was no one in the room, the first thing he thought of was where Lu Xinyang had gone.Lu Xinyang on the roof beam saw Xia Yan's little head turning around as if looking for something, couldn't help smiling, and popped a finger wind with his fingers.The finger wind rubbed against Xia Yan's skirt and hit the ground, making a low knocking sound. Xia Yan looked in the direction of the finger wind and saw Lu Xinyang sitting on the beam smiling at him.

Lu Xinyang raised his index finger to his lips, signaling Xia Yan to keep quiet, and then pointed to the door, asking Xia Yan to open it.

Xia Yan thought it was fun and went to open the door happily.

"Little guy, did you sleep in late today?"

As soon as Xia Yan opened the door, a big hand covered his head, Han Fu asked jokingly.Xia Yan felt a little embarrassed when he thought about what happened in the morning, so he didn't make a sound immediately.Han Fu looked at it and thought it was because Xia Yan went to bed late and was shy by what he said, so he didn't think much, he laughed twice and went into the room.

"Brother Han, please sit down."

Xia Yan poured hot tea for Han Fu, and asked casually, "Brother Han, don't you need to accompany the general?"

"Well, not today."

Han Fu took the tea with a smile, and took a sip. The hot tea flowed down the esophagus and immediately warmed people up. It seemed that his body, which had been frozen stiff by the cold winter wind, became flexible at this moment.

Han Fu leaned on the back of the chair relaxedly, resting his chin in one hand, and casually holding the tea cup in front of him with the other. He couldn't help but smile when he saw Xia Yan busy serving tea and water, but when his gaze accidentally glanced over While drinking tea, he was stunned.

Han Fu turned the teacup slightly, seemingly inadvertently, and the murky water in the cup reflected the situation on the beam behind him. Although it was very unclear, if you looked carefully, you could still see a person sitting on the beam.

thief?

Han Fu glanced at Xia Yan, the little guy was just a powerless proton, who in the Soviet Union spent so much time lying on the roof beams to "monitor" him?

Han Fu's thought was very similar to Lu Xinyang's, but his identity was different from Lu Xinyang's. After denying the possibility that the visitor was to monitor Xia Yan, he had a second guess: a spy of Kang Guo?

Han Fu carefully sensed Master Liang's breath, it was long and clear, if he didn't just see it, he might not be able to detect it.

is a master.

Han Fu raised the corners of his mouth slightly, he wanted to see what this man was up to.

Xia Yan sat down on the chair next to Han Fu and asked curiously: "Brother Han, I think you seem to be very leisurely. You came to accompany me yesterday and today, and it's still morning. Don't you need to be with the general? "

Han Fu glanced at the teacup, and the aura of the people on the beam did not change at all, as if they didn't care about their conversation.

Han Fu raised his head and smiled at the little guy, "I don't need to be with the general these days, so I don't have anything to do."

Xia Yan was surprised: "But isn't Brother Han the general's bodyguard?"

Han Fu smiled: "There are several guards, it is impossible for the same person to follow every day, there is always a rest."

Xia Yan showed a dazed face, and Han Fu asked, "Don't you know this?" For nobles, this is common sense, right?

Xia Yan smiled shyly: "I've always only had Qing He by my side, so I don't know much about it."

It was only then that Han Fu remembered that Xia Yan lived in the cold palace before.

Han Fu said apologetically, "Sorry, little guy, I forgot."

Xia Yan didn't care, and said with a smile: "Actually, it's nothing. In the past, Hao...His Highness Hao complained to me, saying that it was uncomfortable to always be surrounded by a group of people. Anyway, no one would harm me, and it would be cleaner if there was no one around. .”

"Hao?" Han Fu thought of the child who slapped Xia Yan at the dinner that day, but at this time Xia Yan revealed the meaning as if they had a good relationship, "You know Hao?"

Xia Yan was a little embarrassed by Han Shixi's casual question.

"Well... let's get to know each other..."

Xia Yan also didn't know how to define the relationship between the two.

Han Fu saw that there must be some twists and turns between these two people, but seeing that Xia Yan seemed reluctant to mention it, Han Fu stopped asking, thought for a while, and said: "You are a prince after all, and you have learned something in the cold palace. How about something?"

"Ah?" Xia Yan didn't turn the corner.

Han Fu glanced at Xia Yan, and said with a smile: "I see that your steps are light and not vain, you must have practiced martial arts, right?"

"Ah? This...it is indeed, I have learned a little..."

After a brief astonishment, Xia Yan admitted hesitantly.

Ordinary princes naturally practice martial arts, but Xia Yan entered the cold palace at the age of four, so no one would teach him.Xia Yan's martial arts were taught by You Tianqi and Lu Xinyang, and he learned Tianfeimen's internal skills and swordsmanship. He didn't understand the Xia family's martial arts at all.But the existence of Lu Xinyang is a secret, Xia Yan can't tell this secret to Han Fu, now that Han Fu asks this question, Xia Yan can only lie.

Seeing Xia Yan's slight hesitation, Han Fu remembered that Xia Yan shouldn't have learned martial arts in the cold palace. If someone with a heart finds out, I'm afraid Xia Yan and the people who taught him martial arts will have a hard time.

Han Fu looked at Xia Yan, Xia Yan's martial arts are naturally not top-notch, but they are still a bit hot, his steps are light, and his breath is long and clear...

the same!

Han Fu suddenly had a flash of inspiration: Xia Yan's martial arts skills are the same as that of the man on the beam!

Xia Yan's master?Who is he?What is he here for?Simply looking for Xia Yan or...

Han Fu's eyes dimmed slightly, and he glanced at Xia Yan, who still looked like a heartless herbivore.After thinking about it for a while, Han Fu stopped entangled in these issues, chatted with Xia Yan casually, talked about the affairs of the court, and even picked out some unimportant interesting things to talk about, firstly to relieve Xia Yan's boredom, and secondly to test Let's see how Master Liang reacts.It's just that after saying a lot, Master Liang's aura has not changed, as if he doesn't pay attention to it.

At noon, Han Fu accompanied Xia Yan for lunch and left under the pretext that the general was still a little ahead of time. After sending Han Fu away, Xia Yan looked back to find Lu Xinyang again, but found that Lu Xinyang was gone.

Xia Yan didn't know that Lu Xinyang had chased after Han Fu when he walked out of the room. The reason was very simple. When Xia Yan turned his back to them, Han Fu raised his head and looked at Lu Xinyang.

Lu Xinyang knew that he had been discovered, but the man who discovered him didn't show any surprise, obviously he had already noticed it.

For such a man, Lu Xinyang did not dare to be careless at all.

(0.58 coins) Gongzhong Ji 36 There are bugs in winter

Han Fu turned into an alley after leaving the Yan Mansion, but a figure flashed behind him, and when he turned around, there was another person—it was Lu Xinyang.

Han Fu looked at the man in front of him. This man's physique had the characteristics of a southerner, and he was two laps younger than himself, but the aura around him was not to be underestimated. His youthful face revealed a figure far beyond his age. Sophisticated──This is obviously not an easy role.

The same sharp eyes met in the air. Although both of them restrained their murderous intent, they still made the dark alley even colder.

Lu Xinyang and Xia Yan had a very close relationship, and Han Fu was not worried that this person would suddenly attack him. Seeing the stalemate in the atmosphere, he simply asked, "Xia Yan's master?"

"Brother." Lu Xinyang replied lightly.

This answer did surprise Han Fu, but his surprise would never show on his face.

The two looked at each other silently for a moment, Lu Xinyang smiled suddenly, and said gently in the tone of brother Xia Yan: "Xiaoyan, the next generation, thank you brother Han for taking care of Xiaoyan."

Hearing that there was something in Lu Xinyang's words, Han Fu slightly raised his eyebrows, smiled, and said, "It's nothing, I'm just optimistic about my prey."

Lu Xinyang sneered, and said, "Prey? Why don't you tell Xiao Yan this word."

Han Fu's smile did not change, but instead he crossed his arms and said indifferently: "It's nothing to say, at most I'll spend a little more time explaining."

Lu Xinyang's gaze stayed on Han Fu's face for a moment, and the sneer on his lips did not fade away, but he stopped entangled in this topic, turned his eyes, and said: "That's up to you, but since you want to keep an eye on your prey, you might as well pay attention to it." thing."

"Tell me." Han Fu replied calmly, but he was surprised in his heart. He thought Lu Xinyang would have a strong reaction, but he didn't expect Lu Xinyang to act as if he didn't care.Han Fu instantly pulled Lu Xinyang out of the ranks of herbivores and into the ranks of vicious carnivores.

Lu Xinyang said: "Before Big Brother Han came, I found someone peeping outside, so I went up to the beam to check, but I didn't see any suspicious person, just when I came back to the room, Big Brother came."

Han Fu also frowned: "You brought it?"

"No, it should be aimed at Xiaoyan."

Lu Xinyang said firmly.

Han Fu thought for a while, then nodded and said, "I see." This is considered to be a promise.

Lu Xinyang left He An that night. To him, although Xia Yan is an important person, the important part of his life is not just this one person, those people and things in Tianfeimen are equally important.

Although Lu Xinyang came and went in a hurry, Xia Yan still felt warm in his heart when he saw Lu Xinyang's leaving back. No matter what he said, there was such a person who was willing to travel thousands of miles to visit him—even if it was just for a day or a day. Time, a face-to-face meeting, this kind of heart is enough to move Xia Yan.

Before Lu Xinyang left, he didn't tell Xia Yan about his meeting with Han Fu, and when Han Fu came the next day, he didn't mention it.

Because of Lu Xinyang's reminder, Han Fu began to pay attention to the movement around Xia Yan, but he did not find anyone peeping secretly.Although he also thought about whether Lu Xinyang lied to him, he felt that it was impossible.After Han Fu thought about it, he could only tell the guards in the Yan Mansion to pay more attention. Since Lu Xinyang said that the man had no malicious intentions, it shouldn't be a big problem.

However, the appearance of Lu Xinyang made Han Fu realize that there are still many carnivores peeping at the silly rabbit.For Han Fu, hunting rabbits is a pastime. It is easy to catch them easily, but the occasional appearance of an evenly matched enemy can make the game more interesting.

As a result, Han Fu spent more time in front of the rabbit.

On a rare sunny day in winter, Han Fu went to Yan's mansion when he had nothing to do. He was led to the backyard by a servant, and saw Xia Yan sitting on the railing of the gazebo in the lake, swinging his feet, reading a book.As if attracted by the contents of the book, the little guy had a faint smile on his mouth. The pureness from the heart was like a sparkling gem under the warm winter sun, and the bright light slightly hurt Han Fu's eyes.

Han Fu recalled that when he saw this little guy for the first time, it was this pure force that attracted him, and made him come out who should have been hiding from people's sight.

In fact, this little guy shouldn't be so innocent.Han Fu thought, he didn't think it was a good thing for a 14-year-old boy to be so innocent, but it was the innocence of this little guy that made him want to protect him.

However, there is also a protection fee for protection.

Han Fu didn't ask anyone to notify him, even Qinghe stopped him from speaking, Xia Yan didn't notice Han Fu's arrival at all, until Han Fu quietly walked behind him and hugged him gently──

"Little guy, what are you looking at?"

"what!"

Xia Yan was so frightened that he jumped all over, lost the book in his hand, and fell from the railing.

Han Fu wrapped one hand around Xia Yan's waist, and pulled him into his arms with one hand, while the other hand stretched out seemingly inadvertently, but caught the book that Xia Yan was almost thrown into the lake.

"Little fool, why are you so scared that you threw away the book?" Han Fu put the book back in Xia Yan's hand with a low smile. Seeing that Xia Yan was still in a daze, his heart moved, and he swung Xia Yan horizontally with both hands Picking it up, he turned around and sat on the stone bench in the pavilion, and let Xia Yan sit on his lap.

"Big Brother Han!"

Xia Yan didn't know whether he was shocked or ashamed, his face flushed, he found himself sitting on Han Fu's lap, and immediately wanted to jump off, but Han Fu wrapped his arms around his waist, so he couldn't escape no matter what.Xia Yan shyly said: "Brother Han, let me, let me go down!"

Han Fu didn't let go, he smiled softly and said, "Why, are you still afraid that I will eat you?"

"No, not...but..."

"but what?"

Han Fu watched Xia Yan's wide-eyed eyes with great interest, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't say anything, silly rabbit, that's probably the way to be cute.

Xia Yan hesitated for a long time but still couldn't hold back any lethal words of refusal. He also knew that he couldn't say any powerful words, opened his mouth, and finally gave up. own dissatisfaction.

Xia Yan knows that people will always underestimate his appearance, even if it is not bad to be underestimated, he can live a stable life only when he is underestimated in his current situation, but Xia Yan still does not want to be hugged like a child What's more, Han Fu and Lu Xinyang are different... Although Xia Yan can't tell where the difference is, sitting in Lu Xinyang's arms is acceptable, but sitting in Han Fu's arms makes him very shy.

Han Fu watched it amusingly, but he still let Xia Yan go, hugged him aside, and let Xia Yan sit on the chair by himself.

"Okay, little guy, I won't bully you." Han Fu patted Xia Yan's head. He knew that if he pushed too hard all of a sudden, it would have the opposite effect.

"Brother Han, you are too much..." Xia Yan muttered in a low voice, secretly watching Han Fu's reaction from the corner of his eyes, seeing that Han Fu was still smiling, he said, "You always bully me...I'm not a child... "

"Hehe, I didn't bully you." Han Fu smiled, "Ordinary people have never had a chance to want me to hug him. I just hug you because I like you."

Xia Yan curled his lips to show his disbelief.

Han Fu knew that Xia Yan didn't take his words to heart, but he didn't care either. He glanced at the book in Xia Yan's hand and asked casually, "What were you reading just now? I was so fascinated by it, you couldn't help but be surprised when I walked behind you." If you don’t find out, what if I’m a bad guy?”

Xia Yan said disapprovingly: "No way, if you are a bad guy, Qing He will call me."

Han Fu joked, "You little guy just trusts others like that? What if Qing He wants to harm you too?"

"No." Xia Yan said very seriously, "Qing He will never harm me!"

Han Fu did not expect Xia Yan to be so determined.Han Fu also knew about Qinghe's origin. Qinghe offended a big eunuch and was tortured by deep frying. Later, he was rescued by Queen You. Although he saved his life, his face was completely ruined. Qinghe wears a veil to cover her eyes all day long.Probably to repay her kindness, after Queen You passed away, Qing He stayed in the cold palace to take care of Xia Yan with all her heart.

However, in Han Fu's view, the past ten years have been inseparable
