Chapter 81:
Jun Huailang was stunned for a moment before realizing what Xue Yan was talking about.
As soon as he lowered his head, he saw that the wolf tooth had fallen into Xue Yan's hand. The color is mottled, but it reflects a matte luster under the light.
Jun Huailang felt guilty for no reason, and wanted to drag the wolf tooth back.
Since he put it on that day, he has never taken it off again, and it has gradually become a habit to wear it close to the body on weekdays.
But being discovered by the other party at this time made him inexplicably embarrassed.
"Why didn't you show it?" Xue Yan laughed softly, insisting on the opposite.
However, he has been in unrequited love for a long time, and he didn't think in many directions at all.
He was just happy because Jun Huailang wore the things he gave him.
But under the dim yellow light, Jun Huailang's ears were a little red.
At this moment, Jinbao heard the movement in the room and hurriedly opened the door.
In the door, His Royal Highness was squatting beside the bed. The prince was so injured that he couldn't sit up. He stretched his arm and pressed it on the back of his neck.
Jinbao: ….
As soon as his master raised his eyes, when those cold eyes shot at him, Jinbao knew that he was reckless.
He wanted to slam the door and escape immediately, but it was too late.
His Royal Highness hurriedly stood up and stuffed something back into the placket.
Jinbao: ? !
This time, he began to worry about whether he would be silenced.
At this moment, His Royal Highness turned around and spoke.
"Jinbao, you came just in time." He said. "Your Highness is awake, go and bring in his medicine."
After a pause, he continued, "Prepare some light meals."
Jinbao responded and quickly turned around and ran out.
Bodhisattva is worthy of being a Bodhisattva, even if he is pulled down from the altar by his master, he is still a good person with the number one in heaven.

That night, Jun Huailang accompanied Xue Yan after eating, and then stared at him and drank the medicine, and was driven back by Xue Yan to rest.
He had woken up early the morning before, and by the time he returned to his room, the sky had begun to turn white.
In this way, he didn't sleep all day.
At this time, his spirit was relaxed, and his exhaustion rushed like a tide. Jun Huailang returned to his room and slept until the next afternoon.
After that, he stayed by Xue Yan's couch every day to take care of him.
It was unnecessary at first, but he did not expect that Xue Yan would be so dishonest after being injured.
He was fine before he woke up, and could lie down on the bed obediently to sleep. But since he woke up, he felt that his lying position was aggrieved, making him breathless, and he had to sit up when he got the chance.
Jinbao had no choice but to invite Jun Huailang.
Jun Huailang had to guard him every day.
With Jun Huailang around, even if Xue Yan thought it was uncomfortable to lie on his stomach, he didn't dare to make a mistake.
"I've never seen a flesh wound to be raised like this." He scolded softly. "If you want to be in Yan County, as long as your hands and feet are not broken, I can go to the battlefield in three days."
"What did you say?" Jun Huailang, who was sitting beside the couch, didn't hear clearly.
Jun Huailang really didn't hear what he was muttering, and when he heard what he said, he also listened to his heart, just thought he was really bored.
After dinner that day, he asked Jinbao to bring the books brought by Xue Yan. He sat beside the bed and read to Xue Yan.
This time, Xue Yan was completely appeased.
The book is not interesting, but Jun Huailang's voice is nice. Clear and lingering, with a clear and cold voice, but with a bit of indulgent softness.
Xue Yan's heart was itching.
So he quietly raised for a few more days.
They stayed in Yangzhou for a long time, and the work to be done was finished a few days earlier. The people who came to Yangzhou this time included both the prefect and the Duke of Yongning, and even Xue Yan, who was specially sent by His Majesty, came, and Jinling was empty these days.
It has been so long, and it is not a solution, so Shen Zhifu proposed that he plans to return to Jinling first.
His original intention was to let Xue Yan recuperate and go back here, but after a few days, Xue Yan was able to go to the ground, and he was impatient to live in Yangzhou again, so he went with Shen Zhifu and his party Back to Jinling together.
Jun Huailang was still in the same car with him.
Jun Huailang was going to ride a horse, but was stopped by Xue Yan.
"The car is spacious, what are you doing on horseback?" Xue Yan was righteous.
Jun Huailang said nicely: "Your Highness needs to rest."
Xue Yan said: "I'm bored alone, you read to me."
These days, Xue Yan seems to have learned to be a rogue because of his injuries. Jun Huailang was also a little unable to resist. Hearing him say this, he couldn't refute it. He led him and got into the car together in a confused way.
Xue Yan gave Jinbao a look, and Jinbao immediately understood.
After the two got into the car, Jinbao sat down beside the driver.
"remember?"
Chef Nono should be.
—
Xue Yan mostly reads military books.
This is a habit he has developed since he was a child. Yan land was barren, and he grew up in a military camp. Apart from these, there were no other books for him to read.
He used the military book as a script since he was a child. After a long time, he has no interest in anything else.
The two got into the car, and like a few days ago, one read and the other listened, and there was a quiet atmosphere in the car.
But unlike in the past, there is no tea in this car.
The road from Yangzhou to Jinling was a little bumpy, and the small stove for making tea was placed on the car, which could easily ignite other objects. Therefore, on the way to Yangzhou last time, Jinbao removed the stove.
Xue Yan doesn't really like to read, but just likes to listen to Jun Huailang's voice.
He used the excuse of reading to get the other party into the car, but he was not willing to let him read books for most of the day in places where there was no water to drink.
Not long after, Xue Yan interrupted him.
"After you go back, will you come to me and read to me?" he asked.
Jun Huailang listened to his question, put down the book in his hand and looked at him.
Although Xue Yan is still lying on the couch of the carriage, it is different from the previous days.
His arms were folded, his chin was padded, and his robes were neatly dressed. He looked lazy and relaxed, and didn't look like a wounded person.
His recovery ability is indeed very strong. Jinbao, who changed his dressing these days, also said that the wound has scabbed over and it has healed a lot.
So from these two days, Xue Yan occasionally sat up or went to the ground for activities, but Jun Huailang did not stop him.
In his state, he doesn't need Jun Huailang to take care of him every day, let alone reading to relieve his boredom like when he couldn't do anything before.
Jun Huailang hesitated for a while, but did not speak.
According to his usual personality, he would simply refuse. When he returned to Jinling, seeing that May had passed, he also had his own affairs to be busy with.
But at this time, he found that he couldn't say anything to refuse.
...Because he spent a few days with Xue Yan, he actually felt a little reluctant.
You can always see his expression when reading, and the two of them often talk. This kind of calm and quiet atmosphere makes him a little reluctant and wants to continue for a long time.
...In other words, he was not reluctant to give up this atmosphere, but Xue Yan.
Jun Huailang was startled by this realization, and tightened the hand holding the book slightly.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Xue Yan knew that he wanted to refuse.
Of course I don't have to listen to him, I just want to find an excuse to see him every day.
He's been a scoundrel these days. Seeing that Jun Huailang didn't speak, he opened his mouth and said, "I'm lying on my stomach every day, and reading books takes a lot of my eyes. I still have a lot of documents to go back to. Send it to me, why don't you help me?"
It is an excuse.
Xue Yan suffered such a serious injury, even if he felt that he no longer needed to be raised, the prefect and Duke Yongning would not dare to trouble him with these trivial matters.
Jun Huailang knew that this was just an excuse.
But the excuse seemed to be made for him, which made him feel relieved.
"Okay." He smiled slightly and looked up at Xue Yan.
Xue Yan smiled involuntarily.
He thought to himself, how can this man be so good.
He became more and more arrogant during this time, and it was all because Jun Huailang was used to him.
Xue Yan tasted the sweetness of being favored to some extent, and only felt that this injury was worth it, especially worth it.
With him, the wounded, the carriage on the return journey was very slow. Until it got dark, the group of people slowly returned to Jinling City.
When passing by the North City Gate, Jun Huailang took a look.
The official road beside the dam is still surrounded and has not been repaired.
"What are you looking at?" Xue Yan's eyes were sharp.
Jun Huailang said: "Ah, it's nothing. It's just that I heard a while ago that the official road is being cultivated here, so I'll see how it goes."
Xue Yan snorted lightly: "I will urge them tomorrow. Build a road, why is it so unfavorable."
Jun Huailang hurriedly smiled to stop him: "It's only half a month, it's not too slow, so don't rush."
As soon as the King of Guangling opened his mouth, they were not allowed to quickly meet the construction period? At that time, it will cost the people and money again.
The two chatted for a while, and the carriage stopped at the gate of the Governor's Mansion.
Fuyi was waiting here, and moved the footstool to get off. Jun Huailang helped Xue Yan get out of the car, and went back to the two's residence with him.
When they reached their respective positions, Jun Huailang stopped and saw Xue Yan raised his arm and touched him lightly.
“Don’t forget it tomorrow,” he said.
Jun Huailang pursed her lips and nodded, and heard Xue Yan chuckle in a low voice.
The laughter seemed to burn the base of his ear.
When Jun Huailang returned to his room, he still didn't recover.
Fuyi brought the tea to his hand.
Jun Huailang took a sip and instructed Fuyi, "Go and bring the box where I put the books."
He still remembered that Xue Yan had nothing but the military book. In addition to the books used in the imperial examinations, he also had some travelogues. He thought of finding two books and taking them to Xue Yan tomorrow.
Jun Huailang put down the teacup in his hand and went to open the book.
Just as he was about to pick up a book, Fuyi suddenly whispered, "Young master went to Yangzhou this time, but who did he meet?"
"Huh?" Jun Huailang paused.
Fuyi smiled softly and said, "I always feel that the young master has encountered something good, or..."
He smiled half-jokingly: "Or met someone you like?"
Jun Huailang stopped while holding the book.
It was clearly just a joke that went over the ears, but for some reason, the words "pleasant" were burned in his ear.
When he heard the person he was happy with, what he thought in his mind was the low laugh of Xue Yan just now.
There is an uninhibited wildness in the low, and there is an unknown meaning in the smile, as if they have privately said something that cannot be kept secret for outsiders.
I'm just going to read him a book for a few days...
Jun Huailang's heart was a little chaotic.
He held the book, pretended to be calm, and asked lightly, "A person who is happy? What is a person who is happy?"
Fuyi was stunned.
I’m just joking, maybe it’s true!
"You miss him every day and want to be with him every day?" he said hurriedly. He has read a lot of scriptures, and he speaks in a straightforward manner. "As long as you stay together, you will be happy, and you will think of him in everything you do—the most important thing is that when the servant said that he was the one you were happy with, you were thinking of him!"
Jun Huailang released the book, and the book fell to the ground.
Immediately afterwards, a crumpled piece of paper fell from a page in the book.
As if covering up something, Jun Huailang immediately leaned over to pick it up.
Then, his movements stopped.
[Xue Yan's lips curled into a cold arc, reaching out and pinching her chin...]
