I became the apex of my nemesis by acting

Except when she was by Ajie's side, Bai Chengjue had always slept very lightly.

What's more, beside an unfamiliar outsider, even if Xue Beiwang closed his eyes, he would sit on the edge of the bed like a log.

Years of habits, not the tenderness of strangers are enough to change, so that Xue Beiwang's guard just walked to the door, Bai Chengjue woke up, listening to the conversation between the two, he did not move, and continued to pretend to be asleep She looked like she was lying by Xue Beiwang's side.

Xiao Muzi put the tied oil paper bag on the table, and said softly: "Master, the overall situation is the most important thing."

"Ah."

The footsteps sounded all the way outside the house, and the moment the door was closed, Bai Chengjue pretended to be shocked in Xue Beiwang's arms, leaning his head on Xue Beiwang's belly.

Xue Beiwang looked down at Bai Chengjue, uncontrollably brushed aside the hair on his cheeks, and opened Bai Chengjue's eyes.

"I'll get you some preserved fruit."

Bai Chengjue hummed, moved his head from Xue Beiwang's body to the porcelain pillow, and looked at Xue Beiwang with a smile in his eyes.

He got up and opened each bag of fruit on the table and took a little, and took the oil paper with both hands to Bai Chengjue's bedside to put it down. Smiling, he handed all kinds of preserved fruits to Bai Chengjue.

It can be described as comprehensive.

Bai Chengjue picked up a piece of candied fruit and took a bite, raised his eyes to meet Xue Beiwang's expectant eyes, pressed his lips on the candied fruit again, and slowly released it.

"Not to your liking? It's okay, try something else, there are so many that you like to eat."

Bai Chengjue squeezed the candied fruit in his hand, and said softly, "I'm afraid you often take care of others like this."

"No."

Bai Chengjue lowered his eyes and said: "Is that so? I thought that the young master's considerate personality should be the tenderness cultivated from the wind and moon over the years."

Xue Beiwang could hear that there was something in Bai Chengjue's words, and he held the oil paper in his hand and laughed dumbly: "I don't know how to take care of others, but I just want to treat you better when I face you."

After finishing speaking, Xue Beiwang was afraid that he would misunderstand, and he said again, "These are good, you don't need to be burdened, you deserve it, the first time I met you stopped the thief who stole my purse for me, and then I appeared in a panic, thanks to your willingness to let me go." I stayed overnight, and later, thanks to you, I was able to survive till now."

"Although...Young Master's appearance is astonishing, sometimes I can't restrain my heart throbbing, but I have absolutely no wrong thoughts about Young Master."

Bai Chengjue took a bite of the candied fruit, but he didn't expect Xue Beiwang to speak so sincerely.

At that time, Xue Beiwang hadn't entered the city yet, so he sent people to watch Xue Beiwang's every move, and then found an opportunity to arrange for someone to steal Xue Beiwang's purse. kindness.

It also lays the foundation for attracting Xue Beiwang into the Baihua Pavilion in the future. Chasing the money bag for a while is not for the follow-up hero to save the beauty, but just to impress Xue Beiwang, so that he can lead the prey into the trap and strengthen Xue Beiwang. Determination.

It's just that he didn't expect that Xue Beiwang didn't touch him, even if he had other thoughts for a while, he would forcefully suppress him.

In the eyes of most high-ranking people, a brothel girl is inherently lowly, and being bought by a young, strong and handsome man is always ugly, old, weak, and ugly, and the brothel girl should be grateful for this favor.

For this reason, he murderously suppressed and let Xue Beiwang leave.

It is also fortunate that Xue Beiwang changed his original decision at that time, otherwise, with Xue Beiwang's true identity, he might have stolen the chicken instead of losing money.

Back to the present.

He pretended to ponder for a while, looked at Xue Beiwang suspiciously and said, "This is the second time you have mentioned that I helped you recover the money bag, and the two of us still have such a fate."

"Yes, in fact, these are not important, you just need to know that I treat you well, and you deserve it."

He put down the candied fruit in his hand and said, "Then why were you so decisive that day?"

Mentioning the rainstorm, Xue Beiwang moistened his lips in embarrassment, and said, "Because if you follow me, your life will be in danger."

"I'm not afraid."

Xue Beiwang met his eyes: "Well, I will protect you in the future." After Xue Beiwang finished speaking, he picked up a piece of hawthorn and handed it to his lips. He obediently bit the hawthorn, and his soft lips touched Xue Beiwang's knuckles. His fingers trembled, and he coughed twice, "From now on, I...I will love you as a younger brother."

He was taken aback, and swallowed the sweet and sour hawthorn in his mouth with difficulty, feeling indigestion.

Is this girl so short of a brother?

Obviously Xue Beiwang looked at him, couldn't help but blush and heartbeat, just like that, he had the nerve to treat him as a younger brother.

Besides...

He may be older than Xue Beiwang.

Xue Beiwang asked, "What's wrong?"

He let it go, with a smile on his face: "It's okay, it's just that there is an extra brother suddenly, and the mood is inevitably a little agitated."

Xue Beiwang was about to say something more when there was a knock on the door.

"Enter."

Xiao Muzi stood outside the house and said: "Master, I have some accounts that I can't figure out clearly, please come and have a look."

"Okay." Xue Beiwang put the oiled paper in front of Bai Chengjue, "There's tea here, I'll be back later."

"Ah."

Xue Beiwang got up and left.

He pushed open the door and glanced at Xiao Muzi, his eyes sank.

Xiao Muzi said: "The person in the room is waiting."

Xue Beiwang said: "Understood, you go downstairs and urge the store to see if the medicine is ready."

"Master, I don't know if I should say something or not."

"Then stop talking."

Xiao Muzi quickly walked side by side with Xue Beiwang and said: "I still have to say this, I still think that the third prince regards the master more as a hand than brotherhood..."

Xue Beiwang coughed lowly, and with warning eyes, Xiao Muzi took a deep breath and could only close his mouth obediently.

The two walked to the stairs, Xiao Muzi went downstairs, Xue Beiwang pushed the door open.

Inside the room, a man in a pale robe stood by the table, saw the door closed, and threw a waist card in front of Xue Beiwang.

"This is the badge of Prince Min's Mansion. The master said that the envoy can enter the Mansion of Min Wang tomorrow. The road has been paved, and we are waiting for the envoy to go."

Xue Bei looked at the lines on his waist badge and said: "Not tomorrow, let's give it a few more days."

"For the Huakuan Jueyu of Baixiang Pavilion?"

Xue Beiwang said: "It has nothing to do with you."

"My master knew that the beautiful woman beside the messenger was seriously injured, so I found out that Prince Min's mansion ordered her to be forcibly tied up in the mansion." At this point, the visitor's voice paused, and there was an uncomfortable expression on his face. Smiling, "Min Wang has been in and out of the Baixiang Pavilion several times, and most of the time he was accompanied by Huakui. I'm afraid he didn't expect her to redeem her body and leave. Not to mention, the way she waited for her sweetheart in the rain made the whole imperial city known. "

"The master said that King Min has always been cruel and ruthless. If he can't get something, even if he destroys it, he won't let others get his hands on it."

Xue Beiwang's face darkened, and he couldn't help clenching his fists.

Recalling Bai Chengjue's scarred appearance outside the city, he felt hatred for the man he only met once.

The man said again: "After all, this is not the envoy's territory. It is not easy to protect an oiran in the hands of King Min. Even if it is for the safety of the girl, the envoy should not delay the progress of the matter."
