Xie Yan did not speak, and a long silence spread between us. I felt at a loss in such a condensed atmosphere, and my fingers were holding on to the hem of my clothes so hard that they turned white.

I knew I couldn't control my hands, but I couldn't bear the heart-wrenching feeling of being tied up.

The scar on my arm is clearly in the dark. If we hadn't been honest with each other, no one would have noticed the scar on it. My father has been used to being overly nervous about me since I was a child. I can understand it, but why did Xie Yan treat me like this scar?

I still can't understand how caring it is.

However, Xie Yan was defeated in the condensed atmosphere first. He sighed very slightly and asked me to call the steward in.

When I found the steward, Xie Yan was not at his original position. I found him on the bed in the dormitory. He was lying quietly, with the brocade quilt covering his chest, and his eyes closed tiredly.

Hearing the sound of us coming in, he waved gently and said to the steward, "I have been feeling cold and unwell recently. I need to take a few days off. Please go and report to the Holy One and move all the official business that needs to be handled to the dormitory."

"Yes." The steward responded and hurriedly went down.

"Are you really sick?" I put my hand on Xie Yan's forehead, then put it back on my own forehead, compared the temperature, and asked doubtfully.

"What do you think?"

Xie Yan then pushed his body up, lifted the quilt and got out of bed, walked to the desk, and started reading the book with a calm expression.

"Oh!" I suddenly realized, "You are pretending to be sick!" As soon as I finished saying this, I quickly covered my big mouth and looked around, fearing that this crime of deceiving the king would be overheard by others.

Xie Yan was speechless. He raised his eyelids leisurely, glanced at me briefly, then dropped his gaze on the wooden bench not far away, and called me, "Move here."

"Oh." I quickly moved it over.

"sit down."

"Oh, okay." I sat down quickly. As soon as I sat down, Xie Yan's cold hand came over and grabbed my arm to prevent me from scratching it again.

"Even if I have a scar, no one will see it. Why are you two so concerned about it?" I murmured in a low voice to express the doubts in my heart.

"I can see it." When Xie Yan said this, his expression was calm, as if it was a matter of course for him to be able to see my body, but I suddenly felt a little shy. Only close people would be honest. Xie Yan said this

Those words made my silent heart start beating wildly again.

I peeked at him secretly. He was holding a pen in his other hand. His back was as straight as a proud pine and cypress. When he was writing, his eyelashes were lowered, covering the light color of his pupils, like the clear amber covered by the jungle.

Intimidated.

But now my figure is occasionally reflected in this lake. I'm so lucky.

In the next few days, Xie Yan was sick at home and monitored me in real time. No matter what I did, I could not escape his sharp eagle eyes. He couldn't find any opportunity to sneak around. My scars also survived.

After those days of itching, the scabs will fall off naturally.

Xie Yan carefully examined my scars and asked Doctor Lin to bring me a lot of scar removal plasters from the palace to apply on me. I didn’t take this scar seriously, but Xie Yan had to watch me apply it every night.

, very confusing.

However, under his supervision, my scars turned pink, not as dark and dirty as ordinary scars. If you don't look carefully, they look more like a broken crescent moon.

While I was recovering from my scar, my father would come to the Prince's Mansion to visit me from time to time. Now that I'm almost healed, I'm going back.

But I'm used to staying with Xie Yan these days, and I don't want to leave at all. At this time, I was sitting in Xie Yan's carriage. The door of my house was already outside, and I still didn't want to get out of the car.

"Your Highness, the Prime Minister's residence has arrived." The voice of an attendant outside sounded.

Xie Yan responded and cast his gaze on me again, as if urging me to get down quickly.

I could only move slowly. As soon as I opened the curtain, I couldn't help but turn around and saw that Xie Yan was not reading as usual, but looking at me intently, with everything reflected in his gray eyes.

my figure.

I was so seduced by him that I could no longer walk, so I lowered the curtain and walked to him in a few steps. I couldn't help hugging his waist and swaying in his arms like a pet.

Feeling depressed, "I feel a little reluctant to let you go."

Xie Yan's hand fell on the top of my hair, and he messed up my hair very calmly. He clamped my cheek with his hand, rounded and flattened me like a steamed bun, and made my face a little hot.

Youyou said, "Can't we see you tomorrow?"

"That's right!" Now that my injury is healed, I have no reason to take a break tomorrow. I can see Xie Yan when I go to the Prince's Mansion as an errand. Thinking of this, I feel radiant again, and I raise my head and peck Xie Yan's lower lip.

Suddenly, he got off the chariot happily.

Perhaps it was because of Xie Yan's loose attitude towards me, but I almost lived a life like a fish in water in the Prince's Mansion, very free and at ease.

Xie Yan has now taken over the military power of General Zhenbei and is much busier than before. He even has less time to supervise my writing.

Since I couldn't see him, I could only have fun for myself. I brought Xiaobai to the Prince's Mansion to relieve my boredom. Thanks to Xie Yan's occasional compromise with me, I privately felt that Xie Yan would not be angry with Xiaobai and me.

The Prince's Mansion is a big place. Xiaobai and I played a ball tossing game in the sun. I would throw the ball far away, and then Xiaobai would immediately go and fetch it back for me. We had a great time with one person and one dog.

Almost didn't even notice Xie Yan coming.

"Woof woof woof." Xiaobai suddenly ran behind me with the ball in his mouth. I turned around with a puzzled face and saw Xie Yan standing not far behind me, his brows slightly furrowed, as if he was dissatisfied with something.

"Aren't you busy?" Usually at this time, Xie Yan is discussing the border defense layout with various officials.

Xie Yan didn't say anything. He frowned tightly and looked coldly at Xiaobai who was rubbing against his trouser legs.

My little Bai is very hospitable and likes good-looking people and things, so Xie Yan is a sweetheart in Xiao Bai’s eyes. Unfortunately, Xie Yan doesn’t seem to like dogs, so I can only pick up Xiao Bai.

Stroke its soft fur.

"Don't you like dogs? Or are you afraid of dogs?" I asked puzzledly, because it seemed that every time Xiaobai wanted to get close to Xie Yan, he would look very resistant and uncomfortable.

Xie Yan didn't say anything, and pursed his thin lips tightly. I think he didn't want to say anything, and he didn't force himself. He just held Xiaobai and sat under the peach blossom tree, gently stroking his delicate hair.

The weather at this time was no longer so hot, and there was still a cool breeze from time to time. Xie Yan did not sit down with me. I knew that he had mysophobia, so I didn't force him.

He and I sat and stood for a while without talking. We looked at the mountains in the distance together, and we had a tacit understanding of not disturbing each other.

"Dogs are something that you can't let go of after you keep them for a long time. It's better not to keep them in the first place."

Xie Yan's words reached my ears, and I turned my head. I could only see his cold eyebrows that seemed to be obscured by thick clouds, and his expression was sinister. After he said these words, he left, leaving me confused.

.

I squeezed Xiaobai's paws, looked closely at its amber eyeballs, and secretly said thank you to him, "Let's ignore him, and don't lick him again in the future. Let's not be a licking dog anymore."

The Queen's birthday falls on these days. The Emperor directly handed over all matters to Xie Yan. He was busy all day long. I didn't dare to disturb him. I always felt that he had said that since that day.

If it's strange, he will be emotionally unstable and difficult to take care of.

Just like now, Xiaobai is nestling in the dog cage obediently, Xie Yan is writing at the desk, and I am waiting for him to write and write, and he wants to criticize, "It is too noisy."

I was a little speechless. Xiaobai didn't call at all, but I couldn't explain it to Xie Yan. I could only send Xiaobai back to the house first, and then went back to ask him, "Do you dislike puppies very much?"

"Yes." Xie Yan answered without hesitation.

I pursed my lips, a little disappointed, but I also understood that I couldn't make everyone have the same hobbies as me, so I could only nod, "Then I won't bring it here in the future."

"I asked you not to take it with you. It seems that it is not very important to you."

I don’t know what kind of evil anger Xie Yan had, and his words were simply harsh and mean. He was the one who clearly didn’t like Xiao Bai. After I compromised, he wanted to question my feelings for Xiao Bai and complain about Xiao Bai.

I took a deep breath and told myself not to be angry or to be as ignorant as Xie Yan. Then I finally calmed down and argued with reason, "I'm not abandoning Xiaobai, I just won't bring him to you. You don't want more."

think."

After hearing what I said, Xie Yan was slightly stunned, as if he was lost in a long memory. After a long time, he came back to his senses, thought about it, and asked me again, "What if one day, you find out that you and I are together?"

If it’s different from what you imagined, what will you do?”

This question stuns me. The Xie Yan I know is the Xie Yan today, but I don’t know much about Xie Yan’s past. How he got to where he is today step by step, and how he developed a taciturn and cold personality.

I have no way of knowing his character, and I have no way of knowing how I will react.

Seeing that I hadn't spoken for a long time, Xie Yan suddenly swept all the pen and ink on the desk to the ground and looked at me coldly, "I understand."
