Chapter 112 Attempted
Snapped! ——
A crisp slap sounded.
Lu Yuguan reached out his hand in shame and anger and hit Zhao Zimo hard in the face.
"abnormal!"
Zhao Zimo stared blankly at the young man in front of him who suddenly resisted him, and the red slap marks on his face were burning with pain.
He never expected that Lu Yuguan could still take action.
At this moment, Lu Yuguan's eyes were clear, and he felt that his mind had never been so calm.
"It's a password. Fortunately, I learned the Qingming Mantra, otherwise it would have fallen into the hands of this bastard." Lu Yuguan cursed inwardly.
He silently chanted the Qingming Mantra in his heart while shrinking his body and hiding behind himself.
External Kung Fu | Solar Terms, Part 1 (Qingming Mantra)
[Introduction: Used by practitioners to calm their minds, eliminate worries and evil, and cultivate their character]
Zhao Zimo watched helplessly as the duck he had caught flew away, with an unhappy look on his face.
"Yuguan, this is the first time I'm speaking frankly," Zhao Zimo said, looking at him. "Since it has come to this, I'll be frank. Ever since that night in the Flower Street, I've always been attracted to you."
"Aren't you curious about who saved you?"
Lu Yuguan stood up and remained silent in the face of Zhao Zimo's sincere words.
"Tong-chan, it's not..."
【Host……】
"Actually, I've already guessed it," Lu Yuguan took a deep breath and said, "There's no print on Zhao Zimo's underwear. Tongzi, you can't hide it from me!"
【…】
System: So it was the underwear that leaked the information?
"Tong-chan, since that kind of thing happened, why didn't you tell me?"
Lu Yuguan interrogated the system.
[Host, this system is afraid you can't bear it]
Lu Yuguan was silent for a long time and said, "That's true..."
From before to after the time travel, except for throwing himself into Zhong Ziwei's arms, Lu Yuguan had never experienced such a strange thing.
It would be a huge psychological trauma for a young boy to know that he had turned into an old man overnight, and that it happened without him realizing it.
Zhao Zimo looked at the motionless Lu Yuguan anxiously, and became extremely hesitant for a moment.
"Yuguan..." Zhao Zimo called gently.
"Stop."
Lu Yuguan righteously stretched out his arms and crossed them.
"You had no choice in that situation. So, I owe you a favor," Lu Yuguan paused for a moment before continuing, "I'll just pretend that what happened today never happened. We don't owe each other anything."
Zhao Zimo looked at Lu Yuguan in shock. He never expected that his beloved would say such words.
"Yuguan, please don't be like this, okay?" Zhao Zimo said bitterly, "I was impulsive just now. I can bear it even if you hit me or scold me, but don't say such heartless words-"
"Zhao Zimo!" Lu Yuguan couldn't help but yell, "I've already made the biggest concession. Don't force me to get angry with you."
The man wanted to go forward and hug him, but Lu Yuguan had already grabbed the green bamboo stick in his hand and pointed it at Zhao Zimo.
Seeing that Lu Yuguan was so determined, Zhao Zimo could only swallow the bitter water in his mouth.
"Okay, I promise you. Can you please put your weapon back first?" Zhao Zimo coaxed.
Lu Yuguan snorted coldly, and the green bamboo stick disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Just as the two were in a stalemate, Mu You's voice came from outside the door.
"Your Highness, it's time to pack up and leave," Mu You said loudly, "I don't know where Brother Zhou has gone, so I came to let him know first."
Zhao Zimo responded, "I understand. You can go back first."
"Your Highness, do you need someone to help you clean up?" Mu You continued to ask.
"I told you to go back first," Zhao Zimo replied in a sullen tone, "Don't you understand?"
Mu You frowned.
Zhao Zimo has always been gentle to others, why would he speak to him like that?
"Your Highness, I'll be leaving first—"
Mu You was about to turn around when the curtain was unexpectedly opened.
Lu Yuguan walked out holding Xiao Zhima with an indifferent look on his face. He didn't even look at him and left.
Mu You stood there in confusion.
What's happening here?
Could it be that Zhao Zimo and Mr. Lu are having a conflict?
He looked at Lu Yuguan's back, then peeked through the gap in the curtain, only to see Zhao Zimo sitting on the ground with his upper body naked, not saying a word.
"Mr. Lu is a retainer of the Crown Prince of Longhua Kingdom. Given the current situation, does Your Highness want to win him over?" Mu You pondered.
But why is this house in such a mess?
Mu You couldn't figure it out.
"Master Mu, please bring me two sets of clean clothes." Zhao Zimo's voice sounded particularly tired.
"Okay, let's go."
Mu You understood what he meant, took the clothes back and put them at the door, then called out, "Your Highness, the clothes are at the door. I'm leaving first."
After saying that, Mu You stopped bothering her and left quietly.
Zhao Zimo was silent for a long time.
He was holding the wine glass that Lu Yuguan had drunk from, and was in a daze. There were still crystal wine stains on the rim of the glass.
"Yuguan, you are mine," Zhao Zimo murmured, "No matter how much you hate me, you can only be mine."
Not to mention how sad Zhao Zimo was, Lu Yuguan had already returned to the center of the army in a rage and stepped into the carriage without saying a word.
Li Chonglin was sitting at the table reading a book. When he heard the noise, he looked up and saw Lu Yuguan with an unhappy look on his face.
"Have you been drinking?" Li Chonglin asked with his nose twitching.
"Yes," Lu Yuguan responded impatiently, "Why, do I even need Your Highness to control my drinking?"
Lu Yuguan was already angry. He disliked Li Chonglin to begin with, and after being treated like this by Zhao Zimo, he became even more unhappy.
"That's not what I meant," Li Zhonglin said, frowning as he put down the scroll in his hand. "You can't hold your liquor well, so if you're angry about what happened in the kitchen just now, I apologize."
Lu Yuguan lay on the bed holding Xiao Zhima, turned his back and glanced at Li Chonglin.
Seeing the prince's sincere gaze, Lu Yuguan did not feel any comfort.
Zhao Zimo bullied him.
Li Chonglin also bullied him.
Neither of these two people is a good person!
Lu Yuguan had made up his mind. After he settled the matter in Nanzhou, he would come back, grab his laptop, and travel far away to find a way back.
At the very least, stay away from them.
"They are all birds of a feather." Lu Yuguan said to himself.
"What did you say?" Li Chonglin frowned.
Lu Yuguan said vaguely: "Nothing, I was just playing with Xiao Zhima."
Li Chonglin stood up and wanted to get closer to Lu Yuguan, but after hesitating for a moment, he finally sat down.
Outside the window, soldiers were busy packing up their supplies. Although the mountains on both sides were pleasant, no one had the heart to appreciate them.
"While you were away, the two survey teams returned and didn't find the monsters you mentioned," Li Chonglin said slowly. "Commander Li ordered full speed ahead. We should reach the southern border in two days."
Lu Yuguan turned around in surprise and asked, "All those hairy apes are gone?"
Li Chonglin shook his head.
"This is strange..." Lu Yuguan frowned and said, "Could it be that I am hallucinating?"
Little Sesame meowed softly and looked at everything in the carriage curiously with his green eyes.
It jumped and danced, and finally chose to curl up beside Lu Yuguan's pillow, falling into a deep sleep with snoring.
Lu Yuguan looked at the sleeping Xiao Zhima and suddenly felt a little uneasy.
"Nanzhou..."
"I hope everything is okay."
