Obviously, Shang Junlin felt that it was early. He told Shen Yu that he didn't have to wake up so early if he had nothing to do.
Shen Yu wasn't busy these days. He stayed in the mansion all day. Shang Junlin wanted to spend all day with him. He still remembered his character and went out to "work" during the day.
He told Shen Yu that he was a merchant from the south. He had made some preparations before he came. However, with Shen Yu's intelligence, he might have realized that something was wrong, especially when they were together all the time.
Shang Junlin didn't expect that everything would go so smoothly when he came. He thought that he would have to put in a lot of effort to make friends with Shen Yu. He didn't expect that he would be invited to stay in the mansion because of an accident.
Wasn't it a little too easy?
Shang Junlin thought as he talked to the Hidden Dragon Guards who also disguised themselves and came to Yuezhou.
Shen Yu sat in the courtyard basking in the sun, reading a book in his hand. The sunlight shone on his face, making his skin look even fairer and more translucent. Shang Junlin, who was walking over, stopped in his tracks, but Shen Yu had already raised his head.
"Brother Lin, you came back earlier than usual today."
Shang Junlin strode over, "What is A Yu doing?"
"Reading." Shen Yu waved the book in his hand.
Suddenly, he smelled a fragrance. He looked over, "What's that smell? It smells so good. "
"I brought you some snacks." Shang Junlin took out the wrapped snacks and joked, "You have a good nose."
"What snacks?" The fragrance was too tempting. Shen Yu couldn't help but focus on the snacks.
"It's the new Fuyun cake from Jinlou. Try it." Shang Junlin said as he opened the paper bag.
Without the barrier, the fragrance was even stronger. The sweetness of the food mixed with the unique fragrance of flowers was so tempting that it made one salivate. Shen Yu never mistreated himself when it came to food. Hearing this, he reached out to take it.
Shang Junlin did not give it to him. Instead, he fed it directly to his mouth. "I washed my hands before I came in. You still have to read later. This is more convenient."
Shen Yu paused for a moment and took a bite of the dessert in the man's hand.
The outermost layer of the Fuyun cake was coated with a layer of white powdered sugar. The inside of the cake was soft and glutinous. With a bite, the sweet taste spread in the mouth. Shen Yu's eyes lit up.
Seeing Shen Yu's attitude from the young man's expression, Shang Junlin felt relieved. He bought the Lotus Cloud Cake according to Shen Yu's preference.
Seeing that he liked it, Shang Junlin smiled and said, "There are many delicious snacks in this shop. If you like them, I'll bring more for you next time."
After getting along with each other for a few days, Shang Junlin found that Shen Yu did not like to go out. Perhaps, it was related to his illness. Shang Junlin planned to let Imperial Doctor Wu check Shen Yu when the two of them got closer.
After Shen Yu finished eating a piece of Lotus Cloud Cake, Shang Junlin took out another piece. The two of them fed each other and ate each other. Not long after, the pastries in the paper bag could be seen.
Shen Yu did not expect that he had unknowingly eaten so much. He was a little embarrassed and pushed away Shang Junlin's hand. "Brother Lin, don't you want to eat?"
The man turned his hand and continued to feed the Lotus Cloud Cake to Shen Yu's mouth. "I brought it back for you after I tasted it. A Yu likes it. Eat more."
After eating, Shang Junlin took out a handkerchief and carefully wiped the crumbs from Shen Yu's mouth. His actions were too natural. Shen Yu froze on the spot. Before he could say anything to refuse, the man had already taken back his hand.
Shen Yu unconsciously clenched his fingers that were holding the book. He looked at the man. The man acted as usual, as if he had just done something ordinary.
But …
Shen Yu remembered very clearly that they had just met, but they were so familiar with each other that it was as if they had been together for many years. Whether it was the man's familiarity with him or his lack of resistance to the man's approach, it was not in line with his understanding.
Since that day, the man had a new hobby. He brought back all kinds of delicious food to feed Shen Yu. If Shen Yu did not want to go out, it was okay. He could bring back all kinds of delicious and fun things.
There were many new things in Shen Yu's bedroom: small ornaments, books for relaxation, chess …
— — All of them were brought back by Shang Junlin.
It was spring, and the weather was getting warmer. Shang Junlin chose a location for his first shop in Yuezhou and invited Shen Yu to take a look.
"A Yu can't stay in his courtyard all day long. I have booked a shop there. I wonder if A Yu can help me take a look."
Shen Yu thought for a while. He had not gone out for a long time. Moreover, the man's gaze on him was too hard to refuse. So he agreed.
Shang Junlin took a cloak and draped it over Shen Yu. Shen Yu tilted his head slightly so that the man could tie the cloak for him.
The two of them got on the carriage and went to the downtown area.
The shop that Shang Junlin chose was located in the downtown area. It was a small two-story building that had already opened. It looked like there were many people coming in and out. Shen Yu felt that the business should be very good.
The carriage stopped at one side. Shang Junlin got off first and then reached out his hand. Shen Yu looked at the hand that was reaching towards him. He was stunned for a moment, but then he put his hand on it.
He was helped out of the carriage.
Shen Yu and Shang Junlin walked into the shop side by side. They found that most of the customers were women. They could not help but feel a little curious. "Brother Lin, what kind of business is this?"
Shen Yu did not have the hobby of inquiring about other people's business. Shang Junlin did not take the initiative to talk about business, so he did not ask. Their conversation had always been about eating, drinking, and playing. Neither of them rashly crossed the line.
"These are some things for women." Shang Junlin took Shen Yu inside. He introduced them as they walked. "This is lipstick. It comes in various colors. This is an eyebrow pencil …"
Shen Yu looked at those items. They were placed on the shelves. They looked beautiful and had a variety of patterns. They were very suitable for women's preferences.
"I didn't expect Brother Lin to know so much about these things." Shen Yu's tone was full of surprise.
Not only those that the man introduced, Shen Yu also saw a lot of other beautiful accessories. Just looking at them made people unable to put them down. In front of them, there were many madams and young ladies.
Without stopping, the two of them went to the second floor. There was no one on the second floor. It seemed that the owner specially used it to receive guests. The waiter served hot tea and quietly left.
Shang Junlin went out for a while. When he came back, he held a brocade box in his hand. He handed the brocade box to Shen Yu. "This is a small gift for A Yu."
When the brocade box was opened, there was a jade pendant inside. It was completely white and warm to the touch. Shen Yu subconsciously wanted to refuse.
"Don't be in a hurry to refuse." Shang Junlin seemed to have predicted what he was going to say. He interrupted him. "I've stayed in A Yu's house for so long. This jade pendant is a thank you gift."
Shang Junlin took out the jade pendant. He did not allow Shen Yu to refuse and fastened it on his waist.
Shen Yu looked down. He wanted to hold the jade pendant, but Shang Junlin's hand was still there. Their fingers touched.
Shen Yu retracted his hand like lightning. Under the cover of his wide sleeves, his fingers curled up.
Shang Junlin straightened his body and looked at him. "A Yu …"
"Don't talk." Shen Yu raised his hand and put his index finger on Shang Junlin's lips.
When their eyes met, Shang Junlin's eyes were filled with emotions that he could not understand. At this moment, Shen Yu did not know what he was thinking. Or perhaps, he was not thinking at all.
The two of them looked at each other and stood quietly for a while. Shen Yu was the first to look away.
Shang Junlin coughed and stepped back a little. Shen Yu realized that the two of them were very close to each other. He never liked people to get close to him, but this time, he did not feel it at all. The distance between the two of them had crossed the line.
Shang Junlin picked up another box on the table and said, "There's an auction today. A Yu, do you want to go and take a look?"
Shen Yu asked, "Auction?"
Shang Junlin explained, "It's held by a famous Chamber of Commerce in Da Huan. This time, the location is in Yuezhou. I have a few invitation letters with me."
Shen Yu remembered that two days ago, someone had sent an invitation letter to his residence. He was not interested, so he asked the servant to put it aside.
He worked for King Yue. His presence was not high, but it was not low either. Everyone who had some connections knew that he had a lot of power. His attitude towards him had always been to rope him in. However, very few people had seen him in person. Many people only knew that there was someone like him by King Yue's side. As long as he was in charge of anything, he would be able to solve it perfectly. As for what this person looked like, no one knew.
In the beginning, Shen Yu had suspected that the man had an ulterior motive for approaching him. He had asked Ying Huo to investigate the man's identity, but nothing had been found. When they interacted, he did not feel any ambition from the man.
The two of them arrived at the auction house. After their identities were verified, they were brought to a private room upstairs.
"If there's anything you want, A Yu can buy it directly."
"Brother Lin is so rich?" Shen Yu raised his eyebrows.
"My family's business is not big, but it's enough to buy things for A Yu," Shang Junlin said.
"I can buy it myself."
Since the two of them met, just like how Shen Yu never asked about Shang Junlin's personal matters, Shang Junlin never asked about his. Shen Yu thought that he was just an ordinary businessman who did not know his identity. That was why he said that he wanted to buy things for him.
Shen Yu did not want their relationship to involve power and interests, so he did not reveal his identity. He looked at the man and thought, Brother Lin has always been keen on buying things for him. Did he think that he was someone who did not have enough money?
"I know," Shang Junlin smiled, "I just feel that I hit it off with A Yu, so I want to do something for A Yu. A Yu does not need to think too much."
"Really?" Shen Yu was doubtful.
"Otherwise, what does A Yu think I am doing this for?"
Shen Yu did not know why this person was so nice to him for no reason, so he naturally could not answer.
While they were talking, the auction had already started. The two of them were in a very good private room.
Shen Yu was not interested in the first few items until the auctioneer brought out a plant with thin branches and leaves. Shen Yu's interest was piqued.
Shang Junlin recognized the plant as "Junling" and began to bid for it.
Later, only the people in the other private room bid for it. Shang Junlin was too lazy to waste his breath and directly said that no matter how much the other party bid, he would double it. The "Junling" successfully fell into his hands.
The auctioneer brought the "Junling" into the private room and said that he wanted to see them.
"There is nothing to see," Shang Junlin took the flower and said to Shen Yu, "When we go back, let's raise it in A Yu's room, okay?"
Shen Yu calculated the money that the other party had spent and planned to give him a little more when they went back. Because the person in the other private room had increased the price, the man had spent far more than what he should have.
After the auction ended, the two of them were about to leave when they were stopped by someone, "Young masters, please wait. My master wants to invite you to have a chat. Please."
The person made an inviting gesture, obviously not wanting them to leave.
"Who is your master?" Shen Yu asked.
"You will know when you go." The person's attitude was arrogant.
Shen Yu could roughly guess that the person's identity was probably not ordinary, but he was not someone that anyone could bully in Yuezhou. Since this person did not want him to leave, he might as well not leave. He stood there with his arms crossed.
"If he wants to see someone, shouldn't he come in person? Why is he asking us to go? He also refuses to tell us his identity. How precious must he be to make everyone listen to him? "
"Well …" The person hesitated.
Shen Yu pulled Shang Junlin out, "What is this? He wants to see us, not the other way around. If he doesn't come, then don't blame us for not wanting to see him. "
"Hey, please wait. My master is from the 'Lan' room. He wants to invite you over to …"
"I said, if he wants to see us, then let him come. We don't have time to waste with him." Shen Yu did not like this person who made Brother Lin spend so much money, so he directly interrupted him.
At this time, the door of a private room not far away opened. Two men in luxurious clothes walked out. One of them was just about to speak when he saw Shen Yu.
Their eyes met. Shen Yu twitched the corner of his mouth. Unfortunately, the people who walked out were none other than King Yue and Shen Qingran.
King Yue obviously did not expect to meet him here. He frowned, "Why are you here?"
