Xuan Chen was still fixedly staring at the face of Yi Changyin who was peacefully asleep in his arms. He was so happy that it was just a dream. But the dream haunted his mind. Very disturbing.
"I sacrificed for you. But. You hurt me.."
"I've fought for you. But. very dearly your heart cannot appreciate.."
"But you hurt me and even killed me!!"
"I'm disappointed.."
"XUAN CHEN I HATE YOU!!"
Those words kept swirling in his head. Forming a dagger and tearing his heart apart without mercy. It was just a dream, but somehow for him this was reality. Made him accidentally shed a tear, down his cheek.
But suddenly a smooth and white hand rubbed his tears. Making him flinch and immediately look at Yi Changyin who had woken up. Xuan Chen was startled and immediately rubbed his eyes which indeed felt wet.
Yi Changyin smiled as he looked at her, still above his chest. "Xuan Chen, why are you crying?"
The shock made Xuan Chen shake his head quickly. "No. I was just a nightmare."
Yi Changyin again sunk his head before finally answering in a heavy voice, "what dream made you cry? Me gone? Or.. am I dead?"
Xuan Chen's gaze became gloomy, re-imagining Yi Changyin's death in his dream. Just a dream but it hurts! But his mind was very unexpected that Yi Changyin could guess that. "I'm.."
"Xuan Chen, don't be afraid.." Yi Changyin clasped his hands. Xuan Chen also replied tightly. "I'm not leaving.." Added.
But back to make his heart broken. Xuan Chen hugged Yi Changyin tightly. "Yin'er take it easy, someday I'll avenge all the wounds you get."
But Yi Changyin chuckled softly. "When do I ask for a reward, Xuan Chen?"
"Even if you don't ask, I will insist.."
"Just the one I want, who might be able to avenge all your debt." Said Yi Changyin with a big smile.
"Whatis that? Say it!" Xuan Chen looked impatient.
Yi Changyin puffed up, looking at the man. Still with his smile. "You're fully healed. Then. we live happily in a quiet place without any distractions."
Xuan Chen looked glum, "cured?" Ask with an uncertain expression. "I'm deformed from birth, still hoping I'm cured?"
But suddenly he remembered his dream. Where when Yi Changyin handed over his severed tail for healing wounds brought from birth. Hurriedly he grabbed onto Yi Changyin's shoulder, cancelling the girl to speak.
"Please promise me never to hurt yourself for my sake. Yeah?"
"I can spare"
"Never! I won't accept if you do that!" Xuan Chen said slightly snapping.
Inviting a disappointed look from Yi Changyin. And his memory recalled his dream. The disappointed look of Yi Changyin that deeply pierced his heart. That look was exactly the same as the one he saw at the moment.
Making his heart melt and pulling Yi Changyin into his arms. "I told you that I love you more than anything. I don't want anything to happen to you.. Yin'er, understand.." He said softly, as he rubbed Yi Changyin's black mane gently.
'I'm sorry..' Yi Changyin replied inwardly. Then he said, "i never thought that Xuan Chen was so understanding.."
It let out a little laugh of Xuan Chen, "I told you I..".
"Dying on you" Cibir Yi Changyin, again made Xuan Chen chuckle and clench him in a frenzy.
"Xuan Chen!" His protest when he felt this embrace was so tight and hard to let go.
"Yin'er, I will be imprisoned, in order to become a God.."
Stunned for a moment, then Yi Changyin looked at Xuan Chen with an incredulous look. "Xuan Chen. it's not easy."
Yet Xuan Chen stroked his cheeks gently from that worried face. "Maybe for two years it's enough to reach the stars." He said with great certainty. "After that, I don't know."
"What about the academy lessons? You're gonna leave me?" Yi Changyin's eyes began to tear up.
"Yin'er. I will be imprisoned in the spiritual dimension. But I'll hide it in the valley. So that everyone doesn't suspect that I have that precious thing."
Yi Changyin's face brightened again. It was as if his teary eyes were smashed apart instantly. "Then, I'll see you whenever I want. Then. I want to join the ascetic for a year. Yea?"
Xuan Chen nodded while clutching Yi Changyin. "Well, tomorrow we'll ask the elders and teachers for permission." This tiny body is very fit and comfortable in his body. Makes him unwilling to let go. And the scent of Xuan Chen sandalwood made Yi Changyin calm and comfortable. There is no rejection for either.
'Even so, I wish I could still protect you, Xuan Chen.' Yi Changyin thought with a big smile.
'Yin'er I hope after that, I can protect you properly. Wait me..' Xuan Chen thought with a smile as well.
Suddenly a thought struck Xuan Chen in the mind. Make him smile himself.
"Yin'er.." Call her softly, pull the girl up to puff up.
A second later, Xuan Chen took out something from his hand. A hairpick with a gold-colored Phoenix fire feather decoration. Very beautiful and charming. But it made Yi Changyin squeak in wonder.
Before he asked, Xuan Chen had already first explained. "This prick of hair is a precious thing my father gave to my mother as a sign of love. Then my mom gave it to me. He said, give this to the one I love."
Making Yi Changyin's heart warm. Know what that guy means.
"Because of my condition, I'm not sure I have someone I love sincerely. But after getting to know my little fox, it was all wrong.."
Xuan Chen poked the hair pin the little bunches at the top of Yi Changyin's head. Precisely on the sidelines of a silver hair tie that he still wears even with his hair down. The girl grabbed him for a while, with her big smile.
"Now I give this to you, accept it.. And you're officially my future wife.."
Yi Changyin did not reply, he smashed into Xuan Chen's chest and drowned his face there. Hiding her blushing cheeks. Make the man pull both ends of his lips to smile. Then return to warm.
"It seems that your father loved your mother very much.."
Xuan Chen sighed, his eyes looking bright. "According to the confessions of concubine De and concubine Xian.. Ever since my mother came to the back palace, I've always watched her lovingly. But all of that was hindered by the power of the empress and the great concubine."
"To make only my mother an ordinary concubine, even the lowest. At that time, my mother was supposed to be Consort Shu. Thanks to the empress.." Xuan Chen tightened his fist, "who envied my mother, my life and my mother were ruined.."
'It turns out that way..' Yi Changyin felt pity. 'It was only fitting that they hated Xuan Chen so much, even to the descendants of those two ruthless demons as well...'
Yi Changyin immediately bowed Xuan Chen's tightly clenched hands. "I'm sorry. You're telling me about your bleak past."
"It's okay. It doesn't matter if you find out what kind of trouble is in the gloomy and more ruthless palace environment of the battlefield."
Momentary silence.
"Have you ever wished to succeed your father's throne?" Yi Changyin asked which stunned him.
"That's.."
"I can help you!" Cut it quickly.
"Yin'er.." Xuan Chen shook his head. "That was just my wish when I was a child, just because I was fed up with the crown prince.."
Xuan Chen continued, "after all, I don't want to if one day you have to marry the title of empress.."
Yi Changyin flushed. Yes, because of the word 'married', it clearly knew that Xuan Chen was talking about his marriage. Which is between maybe and not to happen.
"What will incriminate you.." Added.
"But still I would not be willing if Xuan Ye were to succeed Emperor Xuan Zhen one day." Yi Changyin said tightly.
"It seems that I should make Xuan Yao an emperor." Adding on that made Xuan Chen chuckle.
"It's gonna be hard.." Xuan Chen's voice made Yi Changyin snatch.
'Just say the place. Everything is in order!' Yi Changyin thought without rinsing. Even though flattening a place is not as easy as imagined. Moreover, Dongfang land includes land with a strong kingdom even though it is the smallest land.
"Yin'er.." Call Xuan Chen slowly accompanied by gentle swishings in his hair.
"What?"
Yet Xuan Chen instead kissed her forehead gently. Makes her smile with blushing cheeks. That gentle touch had not just been let off, making Yi Changyin puff up. But the touch gradually fell to his lips.
Xuan Chen's hand held onto Yi Changyin's cheek gently. The girl just silently accepted, while enjoying it. Both of his hands began to cling behind his nape.
Brakk!!
"Unschooler!"
Suddenly Zhu Guhuo came without warning and there was no sign of anything. Yi Changyin and Xuan Chen were wide-eyed. Of course Zhu Guhuo saw the scene in front of him, he immediately turned around with a flushed face.
"Unschooled.." He said with a trembling voice. "How dare you bring a girl into our dorm."
"It's me.." Yi Changyin said in a soft voice, almost inaudible. While drowning his face in Xuan Chen's embrace. But it made Zhu Guhuo stupefied because the voice was very familiar to him.
Zhu Guhuo turned around while pointing towards the hiding girl. "Ninth class? You?!"
"Here you are. Little brother, I beg your support. Don't tell anyone about what you saw today." Xuan Chen said flatly.
Zhu Guhuo chuckled as she approached them. Then sit on the edge of the bed. "Secret school just calm down.." His reply which made Xuan Chen smile while nodding his head.
"What are you here for?" Xuan Chen asked curiously.
"Haiya, brother-in-law.This room is my bed too, it's only natural that I go in and out as I please."
"But from your expression when you first entered, there seems to be something that needs to be talked about."
Zhu Guhuo pensively pensively. Yet he was suddenly aghast in shock and turned his head towards Xuan Chen. "I have something more, which you both should know.."
"It matters?"
"really. The culprit who messed up the academy has already been caught!" Zhu Guhuo replied enthusiastically.
"Who?"
"fourteenth-grader, Wei Qiao."
"He?!" Sahut Yi Changyin was shocked as he gushed his head.
"That's right!"
Then Zhu Guhuo told me that it all started with the misfortune of the youngest disciple known as Xiang Jinqi. Then teacher Yu Qinghan saw two objects falling from Wei Qiao's pocket. And Yu Qinghan recognized that.
After thorough investigation, Wei Qiao was found guilty. Although the girl continued to defend herself and accuse anyone who crossed her mind. Then elder Ling Zhao and the grand master of academy owner Fu Jingyun decided to punish Wei Qiao for two years.
"Two years?!" Sahut Yi Changyin was no less surprised.
If Wei Qiao was punished for two years, his education would be a huge loss. He would be left behind for two years, and would only study at this academy for one year. But the punishment seemed to be worth the mess he made.
The two academy leaders did not decide to forcibly remove Wei Qiao. For fear that this would be problematic with the Wei family and the Yunnan empire. The plaque, however, officially belonged to the Wei family. So it was best for the academy to investigate this matter first before acting any further.
At the end of the story, Zhu Guhuo chuckled. "It's funny when that poor girl gets dragged into the academy's cold prison.." He said on the sidelines laughing.
He continued to laugh as he imagined the rebellious Wei Qiao along the way. Which overwhelmed the guards because the girl was more powerful than usual. Until finally elder Ling Zhao decided to give the smoke containing sleeping pills to him.
"Very funny!"
"...."
