Wen Yan looked into the youth's clear eyes, which shone with a determined light. He seemed a little nervous, but he stubbornly refused to back down and stared back at Wen Yan.
Wen Yan didn't want to hurt the other.
Slowly, Wen Yan suppressed the violent and bloodthirsty impulse in his heart and stared at the youth in front of him. He remembered the time on the Imperial Star when the youth had pretended to be arrogant and despotic but had protected him time and time again.
He could even protect Wen Yan like this, so how could he bear to see Wen Yan hurt someone else?
How could Wen Yan bear to go against his will?
After a while, the coldness in Wen Yan's eyes dissipated and was replaced with warmth again. He said hoarsely, "It's good that you're fine."
As Wen Yan said this, the entire space seemed to melt like ice.
Judy let out a sigh of relief and anxiously picked up the boy and ran, afraid that this brat would cause more trouble.
Ji Ling watched the two leave and sighed, then walked back resentfully.
Wen Yan followed Ji Ling back and saw Ji Ling sit down on the bed. He silently walked over and knelt down on one knee to help the youth take off the soiled shoes. The boy's footprints were still on them, and it was obvious that the boy had stepped on them with great force. Wen Yan's eyes were filled with heartache.
With Ji Ling's noble status, staying here was already a grievance, but not only was he not dissatisfied, he wasn't angry even though he was treated like this.
Wen Yan's heart was filled with sadness and tenderness. The youth's kindness wasn't just directed at himself; he treated everyone the same way.
Back on the Imperial Star, the young man had used arrogance and recklessness to hide his kindness, but here, he had finally let down his guard bit by bit and shed his disguise, revealing his true self. Such a young man was the real him … and also the person he loved.
He loved him like this.
In truth, Wen Yan's thoughts were also despicable. He had taken advantage of the youth when he was at his weakest and taken him away from the Imperial Star. This way, the youth would only have himself by his side.
This was the person he had longed for since his previous life, but in his previous life, he did not love this person in the right way. In this life, he only hoped that the young man could be happy. His heart was so dark and despicable. To be able to have the young man alone like this, to be able to accompany the young man alone, he should be satisfied and not wish for more.
Ji Ling looked down at the man who gently took off his shoes and held his ankle with his slender fingers. He felt very embarrassed. After thinking for a while, he withdrew his hand. He was afraid that Wen Yan would kiss him without saying a word like last time. If that happened, he would die of embarrassment.
Wen Yan saw the young man shyly retract his foot and did not stop him. He paused for a moment, then stood up and said with his head lowered, "Then you rest, I'll leave first."
Ji Ling stared at Wen Yan's departing figure. He tried to hold himself back, but in the end, he couldn't help but say, "Actually, you didn't have to do this. This isn't the Imperial Planet …"
'I'm not the kind of young master who needs you to serve me respectfully. Since we're already here, why bother with these formalities?' 'I won't blame you even if you don't do these things.' Ji Ling really did not understand what Wen Yan was insisting on. It made him feel very uncomfortable. Every time he was served, he felt especially embarrassed!
Wen Yan raised his eyes, and a hint of gentleness appeared in the depths of his eyes. He said in a hoarse and respectful voice, "If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't be where I am now. I might have died in the hands of those nobles. You're my savior, so it's only right for me to do these things."
Ji Ling: "…"
Ji Ling: [Did I save him in a dream?]
System: [Maybe he thinks that you don't know anything and are an idiot?]
Ji Ling: […]
Ji Ling fell silent for a moment and pretended to be disheartened. He said, "But you also saved me this time, so you don't owe me anything."
'I'm begging you, please be a normal person!'
Wen Yan suddenly revealed a sad look, and sadness appeared in his deep eyes. He said in a hoarse voice, "Are you tired of me?"
Ji Ling: "…"
'Forget it, forget it. Do whatever you want. You're a man who doesn't know how to respect himself. What else can I say?! Do you think I'd dare to hold you by your neck and lecture you on the meaning of harmony, equality, freedom, and love???
Seeing that Ji Ling did not reply, Wen Yan lowered his eyes again respectfully and said, "I'll take my leave."
Ji Ling looked at Wen Yan's back as he left, sighed softly, and fell asleep.
… …
The next day, after Ji Ling had his breakfast, he strolled leisurely to the pond at the back of the mountain. Just as he was about to continue fishing, he suddenly saw a small figure slowly crawl out from behind a rock. The figure's large eyes were shining as it looked at him anxiously.
Ji Ling looked at the little boy with a thoughtful expression. He thought to himself, 'Should I lie down and take the beating, or should I lie down and take the beating?'
