There is no place to take a bath in the study, but it is obviously unrealistic for Xu Qingjian to wash in another place like this, so Shen Xubai asked Butler Liu to fetch hot water and let Xu Qingjian take a bath behind the screen in the study.

At this moment, Xu Qingjian had just climbed in while holding on to the edge of the bathtub, and it sounded like he fell into it.

Shen Xubai frowned and looked over, looking at the shadow behind through the screen, the other party had already got up from the bathtub and sat down, Shen Xubai then looked away indifferently.

He casually gathered the underwear on his body, got up and went back to his bedroom to take a shower.

Shen Xubai moved faster than Xu Qingjian, when he returned to the study, Xu Qingjian hadn't washed it yet.

"Put on well." Shen Xubai threw clean clothes on the screen with no expression on his face: "I brought these here for you by the way."

He specifically emphasized the word "by the way."

Xu Qingjian didn't answer, but he stretched out his hand and tore off the clothes on the screen.

Seeing this, Shen Xubai turned around and returned to the desk, cleaned up the previous mess, and then sat down again.

The study is very quiet, Shen Xubai can still clearly hear the sound of water and movement from Xu Qingjian's side, this sound makes him a little restless.

He didn't know why Xu Qingjian did this, and he didn't even know if Xu Qingjian wanted to lie to him again in the same way.

After all, Xu Qingjian was like this before.

Counting the three blank years, he and Xu Qingjian have known each other for seven years. He was only 20 years old when he first met Xu Qingjian, and Xu Qingjian was.

At that time, the relationship between him and Prince Xia Yun was not as stalemate as later, at least there was a superficial friendship.

Xu Qingjian is always by Xia Yun's side to protect him, Shen Xubai has seen him several times, but he has never gotten to know him well.

Until later, when he and Xia Yun were watching a play together, Xia Yun had to leave first, and then only he and Xu Qingjian were left.

In the beginning, he and Xu Qingjian just watched the scene on stage normally, until he realized that Xu Qingjian was getting very close to him unconsciously.

Xu Qingjian was standing, but his clothes were almost sticking to Shen Xubai's face, Xu Qingjian's body had a faint scent, but it was not sweet at all, it was a kind of cold Woody, nice smell.

Since Xu Qingjian was really close, Shen Xubai raised his eyes to look at him: "What are you doing?"

Shen Xubai is very wary of anyone, and he has seen Xu Qingjian's skills several times, but the other party is not as harmless as he appears on the surface.

Hearing Shen Xubai's words, Xu Qing let out an ah, blinked her dark eyes, and said with a youthful voice, "My lord, I didn't do anything, I just wanted to eat a piece of snack."

Shen Xubai was stunned for a moment, then looked down, and sure enough there was a plate of snacks on the table in front of him, all kinds of dim sum, small and exquisite.

"I'm so hungry. I'm so busy today that I didn't even have time to eat." Xu Qingjian said that he was very pitiful: "Fortunately, His Royal Highness has something to leave, so I wanted to steal a piece of pastry."

Shen Xubai glanced at him, reached out to pick up the plate of dim sum, and put it at Xu Qingjian's side.

"Thank you, my lord." Xu Qingjian's eyes lit up, and he quickly thanked him.

As he said that, Xu Qingjian reached out and took a piece of pastry and stuffed it into his mouth.

Shen Xubai watched him eating snacks, and felt that he would choke to death like this, and another piece was stuffed in his mouth before he could swallow it, his cheeks were bulging like a little squirrel.

After watching for a while, Shen Xubai asked the theater staff to bring up another plate of dim sum.

"Thank you..." Xu Qingjian thanked Shen Xubai gratefully.

Shen Xubai didn't say anything, just pushed his teacup in front of Xu Qingjian: "I'll drink it for you."

Xu Qingjian was stunned for a moment, then picked up the cup of tea and drank it, looking at Shen Xubai while drinking.

The eyes he looked at Shen Xubai were very straightforward, without any concealment, Shen Xubai could clearly feel Xu Qingjian looking at him while sitting on the chair.

This feeling made him a little uncomfortable. He wanted to remind Xu Qingjian several times, but every time he met Xu Qingjian's clear black eyes, he couldn't say anything.

At the end of the scene, Xia Yun didn't come back, so Xu Qingjian proposed to send Shen Xubai back to the mansion, no matter how Shen Xubai refused, it was useless.

"My lord, you are a friend of His Highness. As his subordinate, I naturally want to protect your safety." Xu Qingjian said righteously.

Shen Xubai was a little speechless: "What danger can I encounter..."

"Yes, yes, in case, I'm very powerful and can protect you." Xu Qingjian replied almost forcefully.

Shen Xubai didn't want to argue with Xu Qingjian too much, so he agreed to let Xu Qingjian send him back to his home, it would be nothing anyway.

After sending it to the gate, Shen Xubai let Xu Qingjian go back.

Before leaving, Xu Qingjian suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Shen Xubai: "Wait a minute, my lord, I have something to tell you."

Shen Xubai stopped in his tracks, looked down at Xu Qingjian's hand holding his sleeve calmly.

"That..." Xu Qingjian said hesitantly: "Actually, what I want to say is, your lord is very good-looking. I wanted to say it the first time I saw you, I..."

Before he finished speaking, Shen Xubai raised his eyes and glanced over with a cold look, Xu Qingjian was stunned.

"I advise you to be more self-respecting." Shen Xubai said to Xu Qingjian in a warning tone.

It's hard not to be defensive and repelled when someone you don't know suddenly says something like this to yourself.

Xu Qingjian was obviously startled by his words, and let go of his hand all of a sudden.

"In the future, do your own thing well and be careful, otherwise I will tell the prince all these things." Shen Xubai said indifferently.

"Don't, don't, don't tell His Highness, I just don't say anything." Xu Qingjian waved his hands quickly.

Shen Xubai ignored him, turned around and went back without saying a word.

But obviously Xu Qingjian didn't listen to his words, and not long after that day, Xu Qingjian helped Xia Yun come to deliver something to him.

After delivering what was supposed to be delivered, Xu Qingjian didn't leave.

He stood where he was, and reached into his lapel to fumble.

Seeing his movements, Shen Xubai couldn't help frowning.

After a while, Xu Qingjian took out a flower and handed it to him: "This is for you, thank you for treating me to a snack last time, there are many flowers planted in the prince's yard, I picked the most beautiful one Dow brought it to you."

That flower was stuffed in the skirt of Xu Qingjian's clothes and took out again. It looked a little wilted at the moment, and the petals were wrinkled, but it was indeed a pretty flower.

"I don't want it." Shen Xubai refused without thinking.

It was useless for him to accept a flower.

Xu Qingjian directly stuffed the flowers into his hands: "I will bring more beautiful flowers next time. His Highness is in the mansion today, and I am afraid that he will find out."

After finishing speaking, Xu Qingjian ran away in a flash, Shen Xubai didn't react at all.

From then on, Xu Qingjian would sneak out of the Prince's Mansion every now and then, giving him all kinds of gadgets.

Sometimes when Xia Yun was present, Xu Qingjian would smile at him while Xia Yun didn't notice, even if Shen Xubai ignored him, he would still smile, and the smiles were sweeter each time.

Shen Xubai has tolerated Xu Qingjian's behavior for a long time, but no matter how he reminds Xu Qingjian, Xu Qingjian still goes his own way.

Finally, there was one time when Shen Xubai couldn't bear it anymore.

It was late at night, and Shen Xubai happened to suffer from insomnia that night. He lay on the bed and didn't sleep, when there was a rustling sound from the window.

Shen Xubai turned his head to look, only to see Xu Qingjian leaning against the window and looking in.

The two stared at each other for a while.

Xu Qingjian laughed first, a very sweet smile: "You haven't slept, my lord."

"How did you come in?" Shen Xubai frowned, put on his outer robe and got up.

There are many guards in the palace, but Xu Qingjian sneaked in without making a sound.

Xu Qingjian didn't realize the seriousness of the matter, and was still smiling sweetly at Shen Xubai: "Because I'm a flower picker!"

It wasn't until Xia Yun was invited that the smile on Xu Qingjian's face froze.

The smile on Xu Qingjian's face disappeared completely, and he looked at Shen Xubai complaining to Xia Yun blankly.

"Take him away, and tell him not to bother me again." Shen Xubai said to Xia Yun with a cold face.

Xia Yun's expression was also ugly: "I see, you should have told me earlier, I will deal with him when I go back."

After finishing speaking, Xia Yun turned to look at Xu Qingjian, also with an angry expression on his face.

"Go back." Xia Yun tugged at Xu Qingjian's arm.

Xu Qingjian staggered for a moment, then turned to look at Shen Xubai while walking.

In addition to being blank, there was a trace of grievance in his eyes, like a child who doesn't know what he did wrong.

Shen Xubai looked into his eyes, and frowned slightly, feeling inexplicably that he had done something bad, but he really did nothing wrong, it's not wrong that Xu Qingjian disturbed him like this.

Moreover, Xu Qingjian was very valued by Xia Yun, even if Xia Yun knew about it, Xia Yun would not do anything to him.

It's just that since Xu Qingjian was taken away by Xia Yun that time, Shen Xubai hasn't seen Xu Qingjian again for half a month.

Shen Xubai just felt a little unaccustomed to the person who used to meet almost every day, but suddenly there was no news at all.

So he casually mentioned Xu Qingjian when he visited Xia Yun in the Prince's Mansion: "What about Xu Qingjian, why haven't I seen him for a long time?"

Xia Yun didn't expect Shen Xubai to mention Xu Qingjian suddenly, he was stunned for a while before saying: "Oh, he, he is hiding, I don't know where he is."

"Hiding?" Shen Xubai froze for a moment.

Xia Yun nodded: "I taught him a lesson after I brought him back from you last time. I guess he listened to my words. He hid as soon as you came."

Listening to Xia Yun's words, Shen Xubai couldn't help frowning, as if there was a void in his heart, with an indescribable uncomfortable feeling.

"Xubai, I have taught him a lesson last time, so don't be angry about this, so as not to hurt our relationship." Xia Yun thought that Shen Xubai was still angry about that matter, and said explained.

Shen Xubai is very powerful, he still has to rely on him, he can't offend people.
